"Ivy, come back here!" Rose said through phone.
"But mom…"
"Please Ivy! We need you here! Nick and Elena could manage things there, please!"
"But mom, everything is alright there! Why do you need me to come there all of a sudden?"
"Ivy, your dad is going to have a small surgery, so we need you here!"
"What happened to dad?"
"Nothing serious! I'll tell you when you come here!"

(In hospital)
"I've been telling you to visit a doctor for a long time! But you won't even listen to me!" Rose started scolding Eddy.
"Rose, it's nothing serious! Calm down!"
"But I am worried!"
"I know that you love me so much!"
"Stop it right now! This not going to work on me now!"
"Ok, sorry baby! I should have listened to you!"
"Oh! Atlast, you admit it!"
"Dont worry it's nothing serious!"
"Mm... I called Ivy, she will come here next week!"

(Ivy's POV)
I am going back to my home after 5 long years! To be true,I am not that happy. It's the place where I have many bitter memories. Getting bullied at school, giving up on my dream and betrayal. I thought that he was different from others, I thought that he would support me even if I am not beautiful but he… he abandoned me when he found out that I am not pretty.

(On flight)
I was sipping my coffee while reading a magazine. Then with the corner of my eyes, I noticed a child staring at me. As soon as I looked up, the child hid it's face on it's mom's lap. Ofcourse, he must be scared,who won't be scared seeing this scar? I stopped using make up after that incident. I suddenly took a mask from my handbag and put it on my face.
Why scare the child???
"That child is not scared of your scar but your expression!" the person sitting beside me said. He maybe 25 or 26 and very handsome, to be true!
"It is inner beauty what matters!" he said touching the left side of his chest.
I chuckled hearing this.
"Its easy for people like you who has perfect a face to say that! But with a beautiful heart all you could get is betrayal!"
"Not everyone cares about your outer look ! That child is scared of you not because of your scar but your expression, just smile and he will also smile!"
Ivy got irritated and plugged her earphones and closed her eyes, leaning on her seat.
