Chapter 22 - You Are Precious (2/2)
Sara patted her back slowly and spoke.
”If you accept your flaws, no one can use them against you. All you have to do is love yourself and whatever anyone says would not affect you. We can help you lose weight but we cannot help you see yourself as important if you refuse to see yourself that way. So, I want you to always remember something. YOU ARE PRECIOUS!”
Heya's tears continued streaming down when she heard Sara.. 'you are precious' no one has ever told her that.
She suddenly spoke while still crying
”I... I.. I overheard her...” she stopped for a while and cried. While Sara continued patting her back.
”She was telling someone on the phone that she would have committed suicide if she looked anything like me”
She stopped again and cried even more..
”I was so embarrassed I couldn't even tell my parents why I didn't want her to be my coach anymore”
Sara understood what she was trying to say and stopped her from saying anything further.
She realised that the opinion of Heya's coach had greatly influenced her self-perception. .She couldn't help feeling bad for Heya
”You shouldn't have been affected by her trashy-talk.. Let's put you in shape quickly and go give her a faceslap. What do you say?” Sara asked with a grin.
Heya raised her head to look at her. There were tears all over her face and her eyes were bloodshot red.
She had a determined look on her face as she nodded affirmatively.
There was nothing she needed more than to faceslap that silly woman.
Sara smiled mischievously when she saw her determined look. Mission Accomplished!
