Mahina lang tumawa si Adrian, pero kitang-kita ko sa mga mata niya ang saya. “Why would I choose someone who isn’t beautiful, Mrs. Dela Cruz?” sagot niya. “I’m lucky to have her because she’s truly beautiful inside and out.” Parang biglang na-freeze ang mundo ko sa narinig ko. Grabe… si Adrian talaga. Parang wala siyang alam sa hiya. Ramdam ko ang pag-init ng pisngi ko siguradong namumula na ako ngayon.

Kumpara na nga lubus-lubusin na. Makinis ang balat ko kahit sa eskwater ako nakatira. Laking pasalamat ko kay inay. Genes kumbaga. Kaya girl be confident! Lahat tayo pinanganak na maganda, be proud.

Her smile looks too precious as a diamond, her kindness and beauty is hard to find that everytime I look at her, I feel like I am drowning in nothingness. She's too likeable to the point that I feel like going crazy by just thinking of her. She's too lovely that I feel like she's too far like those beautiful stars in the night. Her elegance had me thinking things like... how can some people hate her? Those bullies in school, how can they say rude things to her?

"Good girl. Now smile. Lift your head up high. Ipakita mo sa lahat na maganda ka. Inside and out..." Malamyos na boses iyon ni Sophia nang makita niya akong umiiyak dati. Well, she's right.

Now, that was below the belt! Sa tanang buhay niya ay ngayon lang siya nainsulto ng bonggang bongga. Alam niyang maganda siya. Hindi lang naman panglabas para sa kanya ang depinasyon ng pagiging maganda. A woman who's confident and who's smart enough to carry herself can be considered beautiful. Kung sa panglabas ngalang naman ang pagbabasihan ay alam niyang sampung beses ang lamang nito sa kanya.

Umiling siya sa'kin ng makita niya akong nakangiti. How can I smile still? Hindi naman siguro dahilan ang pagkawasak ng puso ko para hindi na muling ngumiti hindi ba? I'm beautiful, women are powerful. We don't need a man to make us whole, we can be someone we want to be without guys. Bakit ba kasi may mga babae ding naninira ng buhay ng may buhay?
