Beauty is bought by the judgment
of the eye".
~William Shakespeare.
You are looking like a doll, Jennifer.said, Alexander. Thank you, Daddy, Jennifer replies and hugs his father.In the meantime the driver comes in and says; the car is ready. Okay daughter,Come on let's go for a horse ride today.Yes, of course, Daddy I am very excited today. Lets go and have a fun.says Jennifer.
Today is a very beautiful day, the weather
is pleasant, I am with my dad going on a horse ride and we both are very excited and happy. Jennifer was lost in her thoughts holding her father's hand.
"Come out of the car, daughter. Look who's is there? Do you like the surprise?
Look Your best friend is here with her family".Jennifer is startled by her father's voice.Oh, Emilia! What a surprise, my childhood friend. How are you? You don't know how badly I was missing you? Hello! James uncle, how are you? Hello! Jack. It's pleasure to meet all of you says Jennifer.
James:I am good and good to see you too.
Emilia:You can't enjoy horse riding without me beautiful.
Jack: I also don't want to miss this chance...I mean horse riding with a beautiful girl like you.
Emilia (laughing): oh my brother is so desperate.
Jennifer :(glaring at Emilia). Riding will be fun with you guys.
Alexander:Come on daughters, the horses are ready.
Jennifer:okay we are coming.
Jennifer, Emilia, and Jack decided to make a race after their first ride. So they started.
Emilia was not good at horse riding so she give up easily.And the real race was between Jennifer and Jack.
Jack decided to take a shortcut so he took another route.While Jennifer was moving very fastly, she didn't realize she have to stop at the marked tree.She left behind that marked tree and eventually saddle broke and she fell down.when she opened her eyes there she saw she was with another horse rider who wore a black dress his face was also covered with black mask,and he was looking like a Equestrian.Then she again lost his consciousness.
8:00 am,morning.
Jennifer opened her eyes .she was in her room.Was it a dream?She was trying to remember what happened was reality or dream.Then suddenly the door opened and her father came in. How are you? Jennifer.Finally,Thank God.You awake. I was worried.
Jennifer:Daddy,What happened to me?
Alexander: Don't you remember you fall off your horse.Then surprisingly Daniel was there who carried out you .When Jack told us that you have lost your way,we were searching for you .There I found Daniel with you.
Jennifer:who is Daniel?

Alexander goes.
Jack:I could save you Jennifer.I wish I couldn't change the path and had stayed with you.Have you hurt anywhere?How are you now?
Jennifer:I am fine.
Jennifer is thinking about Daniel about his black mask and waiting anxiously for her daddy to know more about Daniel.
Jack and Emilia constantly says thank God you haven't injured anywhere.You have kept your beauty safe.

But before that I want to tell you my truth.
"The truth of my scar"The truth of my injury""It was about 15 years ago"
We were very happy family.We were living happily.My parents loved me very much . I was the only son. I was 8 years old at that time when my parents and I was going on a trip .I was very happy and then suddenly everything changes we got into car accident.when i opened my eyes I was in hospital and ran to see my parents But ....
My parents .. (tears in eyes ) they were not in this world anymore.
Jennifer : You mean, you parents ...
Daniel : Yes my parents died in that accident .These are my step parents .They adopted me because of my assets.They never loved me because I got a scar on face in that accident. This scar is due to that accident.
It's not the first time I am being hated for my face injury.i am used to it. Everyone hates me because I am not as beautiful you all are.
Jennifer gets embarrassed for what she
has said to him for his ugliness but even a
single apology doesn't come from her
mouth.Daniel waits for her words but gets
disappointed beacuse after saying so
much he gets only silence.Dainel leaves
the room . Jennifer thinks it's not
Daniel's fault if that accident caused that
injury on his face and he has already
suffered a lot because of that scar.He
didn't get love in his life.He only gained
hate.Inspite of so much hate , he is
positive ,kind hearted person who helped
me and my father in those hard times.
In return of it , what I am giving you him?
Hate again?The same thing he has been
receiving for years .At least I shouldn't
hurt him anymore.If I don't like him , I will
not live with him but I will not hate him for
his scar , for his ugliness.I should go to
dinner today with him ,For one day ,Only
For one day I will give him respect just for
my father. I will .
6:00 am in evening.
