"Can I court you?"

I literally dropped my jaw the moment I heard those phrases from Kevin's mouth. I looked at him for a moment and gave him a confused look. And I almost slap myself when I remembered that he can't see my facial expressions since he us blind.

"A-ayesha, are y-you still here?" He added when he heard nothing from me. And yes gurl, he is stammering.

"Are you serious?" I curiously ask him.

"I am more than serious. I am sorry if I am being too fast. I just don't wanna waste this opportunity. I really like you Ayesha." He sincerely says.

Well, I could really say that he is simcere because it is very visible in his face. However, I am still confused because why me? I am not even beautiful. If he can only see my face. I am sure that he will throw up.

"I am not beautiful Kevin. Don't try to ruin your life." I jokingly say and I have noticed how he tightly grip his guide stick.

"I am not joking Ayesha. And I don't care about how you look. Besides, I am sure that you are beautiful. I can feel it. I can see it "

I rolled my eyes the moment I heard his last words.

"See? Are you nuts? You can't even see. You are blind Kevin. Did you forgot that?"

He just smiled and look at my direction. For almost 2 years of being friends, it was the first time that we have an eye to eye contact.

And it seems like my world stop spinning that moment. I felt like I am in cloud 9. Butterflies fying all over my stomach and I can feel that I am blushing.

"True beauty can't be seen by our two bare eyes. Only the heart can see that."

I frowned when I heard that cliché statement again. Hello? We are already in the 21st century where beauty is measured through the likes of your profile picture, flawless skin and white complexion.

"Yeah right. Anyways, If you are really serious, then fine. Court me."

Thick face isn't it? Common, he is the onky man who asked me that question and I like him too. Even though we are so far from each other when it comes to looks and status in life. We've been friends for almost 2 years and I am just glad that he can't see me. It's better that way.

2 years later

Kevin and I became a couple and today's our 1 year anniversary. However, I am a bit sad because I think it will also be our last. He got his surgery done and he can now clearly see. Which means that he will be able to see how ugly I am. And of course, he will break up with me. I am preparing myself already for that.

"Babe"

I froze when I heard his voice behind me. Speaking of the devil. He's here already. But wait a minute. How did he recognize me? He's literally facing ny back and he never saw my face ever since. He only hear my voice.

So instead of being worried about his reaction if he saw my face. Does it mean that...

"I am sorry for lying to you babe. I actually had my surgery when we were still 5 months. I didn't say it to you because I am sure that you will surely leave me. You are always thinking that I might look for another girl. However, I just want you to know that you so beautiful in ny eyes and I fell in love with your soul and heart more than your physical aspect."

"So you already know my face when we were still 5 months?" I exclaimed.

He scratch his head and nod.

"Look, I don't care about your look. I love you and nothing can stop me from loving you. Not even you." He look at me in the eye and slowly kneeled down.

"Will you Marry Me? Ayesha Dizon?"

Tears are flowing from my eyes. I nodded.

"Thank you. Please always remember that beauty is always found inside and not on the outside. You are beautiful already, and will even be more beautiful in white."

Closing Thought

Beauty is not all about our physical features. Real beauty is found inside our hearts. We are unique and pretty. Don't let other people drag you down. Always remember you are enough and never let any man invalidate your worth. The right people will see your glow, your value and importance. Surround yourself with the right people.

This is my entry for ma'am @JonicaBradley 's writing prompt about beauty. I am a bit late alreadt hihi. Please forgive me.

This thing called love has away to arrest you. You can be arrested by just the physical appearance or an enchanting character. But when it does, the arrest first comes from within..

Physical appearance is not a hindrance in love. Love really moves in mysterious ways. ❤️ Beauty from the outside can't outshine the inside.

That's how he puts it. In the tale of beauty and the beast it happens and the moral is the same. The physical body is overcome the beauty of the heart transcends.

You explained this so well with the storey telling, love isn't in the physical prospect....every one has a way of seeing you when love suddenly meets the eye of the lover. But why didn't he tell her he was clean....that would have caused more trouble though but in all a beautiful ending.

Beauty is a relative concept and changes according to the seeing eye. We shouldn't use the word ugly for anyone. Everyone has a smiling face and heart.

Exactly love is not about look, it is all about your inner beauty. Here one was on for surgery the other help but she thinks he will leave her when he will observe her ugly face but I didn't happen because he really feels for her not due to face. A beautiful love story.
