203rd story
First published: Sep.01.2022
Ali was a young handsome boy in high school and in love with one of his classmates.
That girl “Elsa” was from a strict family and to choose Ali as her boyfriend, she needed her father’s opinion.
After all the trying and effort that Ali put into Elsa and her family, she broke up with Ali and said: “My father says this boy will never be successful, and he can’t see anyone in Ali, but a loser.”
Ali was left heartbroken and life had to go on.
Ali always loved cars and finished his education in Mechanical engineering.
Ali’s grandfather had a big lot in downtown their city and invested his property in Ali. Ali’s father also invested in building a garage on the property, and a successful family dealership started.
Ali worked there as a partner and managed the family business.
Ali was very active and if any car had a complicated mechanical problem he always rolled his sleeve to fix it.
One of the days a customer came in with a very old, rusty, and out-of-shape car, for some mechanical problems.
As much as Ali insisted to the owner to let this car retire and not spend any more money on it, the owner loved the car and wanted to fix and keep it, as it reminded him of his dead wife.
Ali wore his mechanical suit which had many oily stains and looked very dirty. Then he went for a short drive to see what was wrong with the old car.
Little far from the dealership, the car stopped moving and a cloud of smoke rose out of the hood.
Ali jumped out of the car to check into the hood, where Elsa was watching the whole thing as she was coincidently passing by.
Ali and Elsa saw each other after years. Elsa shook her head without any Hi, how are you, and said: “MY DAD WAS RIGHT. You really turned into nothing but a loser.”
Dear friends don’t forget to read my books and share your reviews and comments.

So nobody should jugde anyone by just one moment… I guess, Ali was much better on without that Elsa.

I thought this story would end with the young woman realizing what a mistake she had made, listening to her father! But clearly it was Ali who lucked out on not marrying such a shallow person. I confess I laughed a bit, though I’ve seen this play out in real life. Love your stories!

Le apparenze ingannano, ma chi non sa vedere con i propri occhi inganna se stesso ancor di più.
Lei non meritava Ali.
