There was a girl in the town, that is so beautiful. Of all the people she passes by stops and stare at her beauty.

Fardina was one of the crowd who was staring at her, and then she approached;

"Hello, I'm Cassandra. and you?" her first greeting.

"I'm Fardina, Hi!" she replied with a smile.

Fardina is a simple girl with a simple lifestyle. She is not rich and besides she has no beauty, she is with a tan skin and has many pimples on her face.

"ahhmm good thing you made me your friend." she said.

"why?" — Cassandra asked with curiosity.

"some people don't like me because I'm ugly, my face is dark and gross." — Fardina's exclusion of Cassandra who is now her friend.

Cassandra smiled and came near to her.

"is the basis for having a friend's beauty? Fardina why am I so noticeable? what do I have? what do you notice about me?" — Cassandra's question is she seems curious about herself.

"because you are beautiful! Cassandra you are so beautiful. that's the reason why a lot of people notice you... unlike me, even my family doesn't seem to like me." — Fardina said while smiling bitterly.

"Fardina, I want to confess something to you... but you must promise not to tell it to anyone..."

Fardina looked down and never say anything.

"Fardina I just want to share something with you and I know you need it." — Cassandra continued.

it took 5 minutes before she decided to speak.

"Fardina, can you make a promise?" — Cassandra asked again.

she turned to her and said; "I can! But can you also promise that I won't be harmed by that?"

"why would you be harmed? you won't get hurt. I just want to tell you that, this is not my real beauty."

her eyes seems to pop-out as she heard it.

she laughed out and asked;

"what do you mean? you had an augmentation?"

"No! I have a friend. She is a Jinn and she's the one who made me beautiful."

She laughed again at what her friend said;

"what do you think of me? an eight year old kid that still believes in Fables?

"I'm not kidding! I told you this because you're my friend now and I think you needed her. and now, I'm gonna bring you there so you can ask for what you desire."

Fardina stopped laughing;

"is that really true? cause if it is, well it's my pleasure to meet her."

"for as long as you are willing to do whatever it takes..." — said Cassandra.

and there they agreed. They went directly to the forest, there was a big tree... she got nervous knowing that it is a big mistake for her if she wouldn't come back alive.

they looked at it intentionally and suddenly a bright door opened to them.

"let's go Fardina, don't be afraid." — Cassandra said.

they went inside, and saw it was a room filled with golds and diamonds... and hear the softest voice talked to them.

"Cassandraaaaa..."

it was a woman, a beautiful woman appeared in front of them... Cassandra introduced her and tell about her purpose.

"assalamualaikum, this is my friend Fardina, she wants to know you."

"I know..." said the woman.

"tell me Fardina, what do you wish for?"

"I want to be a beautiful woman like Cassandra... because I am a woman where all people are disgusted in me, so I wish all my acnes fades away, I want my skin to become whiter and my face turn into a clear skin..." — she said automatically.

"I can help you, but with some conditions. will you accept whatever comes into your way when you take it for granted?" asked the Jinn.

"if Cassandra can manage, so am I?" — she said confidently.

the Jinn smiled and said;

"okay, go home now."

she looked at her friend and whispered;

"that's it?"

"yes! let's go." — said Cassandra.

"but how about my wishes?" — she asked.

"let's follow her commandments."

they said goodbye and returned home.

in the morning, Fardina woke up and went straight to the kitchen to cook for breakfast when suddenly her sister screamed.

"Aaaahhhhh!!!!! who are you?" so surprised while staring at her.

"this is ME!!! Fardina. why?" — she asked.

"No!!!" — her sibling shouted.

then she remembered the Jinn, she immediately get the mirror and saw her pretty face. she is so beautiful!

without hesitation, she went to Cassandra's house to show up her new face.

"but what about the condition? she didn't tell me anything."

"she did! she told you about "TAKING FOR GRANTED" right?"

"I mean, is that all?" she asked consciously.

"look, it was a simple word but it means a lot of things..." — said Cassandra.

"can you explain to me?" — she requests.

"you must take care of the beauty that was given to you, because if you don't, it can lead you to the wrong path and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. Do not misuse, and do not forget." — said Cassandra.

but as everyone knows, everybody forgets.

because of her beauty, her attitude slowly changed, she became high, degrading and disgusted with other people around her... she forgot about the consequences behind her beauty.

and later on, she got herself insane.
