The Change To Beauty
Change II - Anastasia
***
"Hey guys, look! I'm Glenda who next month will be the top model on the cover of a magazine like Ileana." The girl made fun of him. His friends laughed in response to his words.
"Hahahaha, stop. Let's go, bell's soon." He turns away with his friends, leaving Glenda alone.
Glenda fell silent, now only she was alone. He could still clearly hear their voices from outside. Glenda was stunned in her place with tears that she was still trying to hold.
Anastasya Cynderyn approached her, gently rubbing the big girl's shoulder with her hand. "Don't listen to what they say, you're beautiful for who you are." Anastasya smiled warmly. Glenda shed tears and then rubbed Anastasya, at times like this only Anastasya is always present to encourage her.
When everyone thinks Glenda's dream is ridiculous and too high, it's different with Anastasya. For him Glenda's dream was beautiful, because he had the confidence of dreaming to become an Ileana. For Anastasya, Glenda could have been like Ileana. Especially if you remember his life that is in danger, if only to change the appearance is not a difficult thing. Different things with her, although Anastasya beautiful with a pretty good body, but she was born from a family that is all lacking.
"Ana. You're very lucky to have been born with a beautiful face and a nice body. If only I could be like you.." - as a hiccup as a result of crying.
"Everyone has their own shortcomings and advantages, Glen, for example me, although my body is good but I was born from a poor family. As for you, even if everyone laughs at your situation. At least you're the son of a famous successful businessman. Even without you realizing it, everyone wants to be like you, be scattered with treasures and have a decent life. You should be thankful that you don't have to feel what it's like to hold on to hunger when you don't have the money to buy groceries, or when your friends throw a big party when you don't have nice clothes or money to buy new clothes."
"More times, you don't have to listen to what people say."
"Yes. Thank you Ana, because you're always there to comfort me when I'm in this state."
"It doesn't matter, because that's what friends are for. Now we better prepare a book for this morning's subjects, soon the bell will be ringing."
Glenda nodded her head in response, and she and Anastasya went to their respective lockers to prepare the textbooks, after which they left the locker room to attend today's lesson. Along the way to the classroom, Anastasya told some funny things to comfort the 85kg girl who became his friend, he tried to make the sad feeling he felt was lost and restore his cheer.
Glenda occasionally chuckles when Anastasya tells funny things, the girl always has a way to make him smile again and forget all the feelings that originally cherished him. Only with Anastasya did Glenda feel she could tell him anything, from her dreams to her ideals. Because among all the people around her, only Anastasya was always willing to listen to her story without ever making any ugly comments, the girl even always supported her and encouraged her.
