First published: Sep.14.2017

Once upon a time,

A sweet and kind girl named Sahar was engaged to a nice thoughtful young man named Anoosh.

They both loved each other so much and were soon to get married. Back then, there were no vaccinations and if a virus spread, many people died or were affected for life. 

Unfortunately, the Poxvirus spread all over the country.

Sahar got the disease and it started spreading all over her face and body. Each pox created a deep hole in the affected person’s body and would stay forever.

No matter how hard Anoosh tried to see her,  Sahar refused because the disease was contagious also, she felt she had lost her beauty. Anoosh couldn’t stay away from her and claimed to his family that he was sick and had Pox as well. But no one saw any sign of Pox on his skin. After a short period, Anoosh announced that he lost sight because of Pox. It was common to go blind because of Pox back then.

Sahar was so sad to hear that news. She was devastated and started to see him again. They didn’t break up their engagement and got married soon after.

They lived happily and in love for thirty-five years. All those years, Anoosh was still blind and Sahar had marks on her face and body

Sadly, Sahar died and left Anoosh all alone.

In Sahar’s memorial ceremony, everyone saw Anoosh walking without his blind cane normally.

Relatives were so shocked. They had realized how truly Anoosh loved Sahar to pretend to be blind for 35 years. Sahar didn’t want Anoosh to spend the rest of his life with her being ugly, and Anoosh pretended to be blind so she would think he couldn’t see her.

Dear friends don’t forget to read my books.

    BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO GIVE UP THEIR LIFE—OR EYES—FOR THEIR FRIENDS OR THEIR MATE! (Paraphrased from the Holy Bible)

  34. A TRUE LOVE DOES INDEED LOVE THROUGH SACRIFICE. 😀 SEASONS GREETINGS, MY FRIEND! My reblog comment comes from the Bible verse: The Gospel of John, Chapter 15: verse 13.
