One day, a young guy and a young girl fell in love

One day, a young guy and a

young girl fell in love.

But the guy came from a poor

family. The girl’s parents weren't

too happy. So the young man decided not

only to court the girl but to court

her parents as well. In time, the

parents saw that he was a good

man and was worthy of their

daughter’s hand. But there was another problem:

The man was a soldier. Soon,war

broke out and he was being sent

overseas for a year. The week before he left,

the man knelt on his knee and asked his lady love, 

“Will you marry me?” 

She wiped a tear, said yes, and they were

engaged. They agreed that when

he got back in one year, they

would get married. But tragedy struck.

 A few days after he left, the girl had a major

vehicular accident. It was a head on collision.

When she woke up in the hospital, 

she saw her father and mother crying. 

Immediately, she knew there was somethingwrong.

She later found out that she

suffered brain injury. The part of her brain 

that controlled her face muscles was damaged. 

Her once lovely face was now disfigured.

She cried as she saw herself in

the mirror. “Yesterday, I was

beautiful. Today, I’m a monster.”

Her body was also covered with so 

many ugly wounds. Right there and then, 

she decided to release her fiance

from their promise. She knew he

wouldn’t want her anymore. She

would forget about him and

never see him again. For one year, the soldier wrote

many letters—but she wouldn’t

answer. He phoned her many

times but she wouldn't return her calls.

But after one year, the mother walked into her room and

announced, “He’s back from the war.”

The girl shouted, “No! Please

don’t tell him about me. Don’t tell

him I’m here!” The mother said, “He’s getting

married,” and handed her a

wedding invitation.

The girl’s heart sank. She knew

she still loved him—but she had

to forget him now. With great sadness, she opened

the wedding invitation.

And then she saw her name on it!

Confused, she asked, “What is

this?” That was when the young man

entered her room with a

bouquet of flowers. He knelt

beside her and asked, “Will you marry me?”

The girl covered her face with her hands and said, 

“I’ mugly!”The man said, “Without your

permission, your mother sent me

your photos. When I saw your

photos, I realized that nothing has changed. 

You’re still the person I fell in love.  You’re still as

beautiful as ever. Because I love you!”
