She was the elder child of her parents. She was caring and loving, she used to take care of her siblings but being the eldest child of her family she was ignored by her family. She used to think that being a human I also need love, attention, and affection from my parents. But her parents were giving all her attention to their younger children and she was being ignored by her parents. Zeba had a dim skin tone which became the way of teasing and taunting for her by her friends. They used to laugh at her and say “Zeba you have a dim skin tone and no person will like you.” Those words hit her very hard. She was a girl, she also needed love and care from her parents, but her mother used to be busy with herself and with her younger children. Her mother never noticed that she has a daughter who needs her attention and she had forgotten it at all. The behavior of her parents and friends broke her internally and she used to cry and say these sentences; “Why all the bad things occur to me? Why I do suffer? Why people taunt me? Why God always me? Why?” These circumstances and sentences made her feelingless and she stops hoping and asking God for help. After some time her parents manage to fix her marriage. She was about to marry a person which she never saw before her marriage. But after all these things, it did not matter for her to whom she was marrying because of the tragedies that made her feelingless. She started her married life and when she first time saw her husband she hold her breath she was looking at the guy having blackish eyes, brown hair and a glowing skin he was the handsome guy of that time. She started saying to herself that how it can be possible that a handsome guy can marry me? How this can happen to me? How I can be this lucky? She was just thinking that “Is this the reward of my patience, love, and care which I used to give to my family”? Yes! This is the reward of my love and patience which God gave me in the form of a handsome husband. Her husband loved and admire her a lot. One day Zeba asked her husband that “I’m not beautiful; I don’t have a fair skin instead of these faults why do you love me?” Her husband smiled and replied: “Zeba, love is not about having a beautiful face and fair skin tone. Love is a feeling which connects the hearts to hearts, souls to souls, minds to minds, not face to face. So, I loved your soul, I have connected my soul with yours and this reason is enough for me to love you.” After listening to this answer she was feeling that she is the beautiful person ever existed in the world. She is the luckiest person alive in this world at the moment. Zeba was living a happy and prosperous life with her husband. After some time her husband became jobless for about 10 years.
