Jenny was 20 years old then and lived with her parents. She was from a wealthy family and lived in luxury. But she never lost her humanity or the true feelings.
She dreamed of true and genuine love. She wanted to love someone who would never cheat her; instead would love her madly. But she couldn't manage to find it. Since she was a child of rich parents, she was always surrounded by greedy and miserly men.
She went a lot of dates, but all them turned to be greedy. As usual, she went on a date with a handsome guy. They went in a restaurant. Jenny had nothing to do, but that guy was continuously ordering for food. Jenny just saw how a man could eat so much. And after eating, he turned out to be gigolos.
That was the only time the guy looked at her in smile. He asked her if she could pay for the dinner. He again smiled and added that it would not cost much to her anyway. She was so upset because that time she was failed too to get her man. But paid the bills.
And some were stuck-up rich guys who her parents kept introducing to her. But they had also an eye in her vast property. Moreover, she suspected that they would have dump her one day. She also stepped back from them.
One they Jenny and her family was having dinner. She told her parents that she was sick of it all and said that she could not do that anymore. Her parents were looking so tensed at this because they also wanted their daughter to get her perfect match.
Jenny continued that she was not going to marry any of those guys with wallets instead of hearts. Her father asked her what she was going to do; if she wanted to stay single for life. She replied that she had her own plan and glowing thinking of it.
She told her parents everything and they helped her to execute the plan.
A week later she moved into a rental home. It was not luxurious apartment of the kind she used to live. In fact it was an ordinary place. After this she looked for a job. She wanted any kind of job just to show as way of living.
She went to a nearby factory and asked the manager if they were hiring workers. She said that she was a fast learner and she really wanted to work. The manager replied that they were hiring packers. If she wanted to apply, she was welcomed. And without a second thought she applied.
It was her plan. She thought that if someone fell in love with her as an ordinary worker and loved her for her soul, not for her money, she would be truly happy only with him. And so she managed everything and hid her identity.
The first few days at the factory were hard. Almost everyday the manager came to her and shouted on her as she was doing slowly. He ordered her to do better or he would leave her without a bonus. She didn't need any bonus but tried to do better.
Everyday she had come home feeling absolutely exhausted. She could barely stand on her feet. Manual labor was not well-paid, but it was incredibly hard. Every night she somehow cooked her meal and taking it she directly went to the bed. It did not take much time for her to fall asleep.
Besides, their foreman was an awful person and always putting workers down though they were doing good. One day he came and scolded an old lady. He told her that she was nobodies and was just cheap workforce. He told her to work harder and left in an irritating face.
But one day he really crossed the line. He came to Jenny and touched her waist. He said to her that she was pretty although she was just a worker. He also offered her to go to his place. At first Jenny was shocked and then became angry. She told him to get away from her. The foreman was also got angry and said that it was not wise to cross him.
That time another worker came to Jenny and told the foreman that the girl had told him to get away from her. He asked him if he should repeat that. The foreman got afraid and said that he was just kidding. He requested the new worker to calm down and said that he was leaving.
And that's how their story began. Jenny learnt that the worker's name was Jared. He stood up for her and since the first day she felt protected when she was with him. They also take coffee and walked together. And soon their was a real chemistry between them. Jenny had never felt that way before.
They got closer and just a month later, they moved in together. They always spend their time together. Jenny used to say that she was so glad she met him. He looked at her eyes and said that he had no idea how he could live without her. They fell in love with each other again and again.
Everything was wonderful for Jenny except one thing. She didn't know how to tell him the truth about the real her. She thought it about the whole night.
The next day she thought he would understand if he really loved her. She was on her way home from work and preparing herself for the conversation. But she was rendered speechless when she opened the door. She was stunned by what she saw.
She saw her mom and her lover sitting on the couch. Her mom was giving him bundles of money. When she saw this, she could understand everything. Her eyes were full of tears. She somehow asked what was going on. She didn't wait for the reply and asked if she had been paying him to be with her all along.
In that moment she felt like she was struck right through the heart. But luckily her assumption turned out to be untrue. Her mom smiled and said that she was right that she offered him money. But it was for if Jared would dump Jenny. Her mom added that it was a test. She had a sigh of relief and Jared added that he had not taken the money. He also said that he would not trade her for the world. Jenny smiled.
Their love survived all test and trials. She married him knowing that their feelings were honest and pure. They also had built their life from scratch without their parents' help. They were also expecting their first baby. It was their own way and she was happy to walk it hand in hand with him.
In true love, money is irrelevant. True love can't be bought and sold; it can only be found.
True love is really worth the wait ❤
