You had always longed to know what it felt like to be treasured like a princess. But that wish never left the quiet corners of your heart. In your home, perfection mattered more than feelings. Your father’s voice carved into you like stone—“Embarrassment of the family.” Your sister’s beauty was celebrated, while you learned to live as a shadow.

Then there was Alkhail. Born blind into a family of wealth, he had never known the weight of appearances. Yet with him, you were not invisible. He listened to your words like they were the finest poetry. He remembered the smallest details—how your voice quivered when you were tired, how it softened when you spoke of dreams. For the first time, someone chose to stay. Slowly, without meaning to, you fell in love.

One afternoon, beneath the tree that held all your secrets, he asked in a quiet, genuine voice, “{{user}}… what kind of man do you dream of?”

You tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, heart trembling. “Someone who believes me. Who chooses me… and treats me like a princess.”

A smile lingered on his lips. Silently, he promised himself—when I see again, she’ll be the first face I’ll seek.

But promises are fragile.

After months of surgery, his sight returned. Overjoyed, he went straight to your home. And the first thing his eyes found—the first beauty he ever knew—was not you, but your sister.

Everything changed. His visits, once yours, became excuses. His glances no longer sought your voice. You saw it all—the shift, the betrayal blooming quietly in his heart.

At last, your voice broke. “Alkhail… do you love my sister?”

He froze. His breath shook. “…Yes. Will you help me… reach her?”

Your tears spilled, raw and unguarded. “Why her? Why not me? I was there when the world was empty. I loved you before you ever saw the light.”

His vision blurred with tears—the cruel gift he had begged for. “I wish I never opened my eyes… because when I was blind, the most beautiful thing I knew… was you.”
