All the time I went to compete there was a person called Daniel he is also a fashion designer he designs clothes too he is good at it but not like me. He was also jealous of me. I was the only sunshine of my parents, We lived with the money I compete and sell my designed clothes. Daniel’s family was rich, and he had a younger sister called Delina, She was beautiful as a rainbow. We learned high school together and we were best friends but as we finished high school we went on our way we only meet sometimes like 1 time in two years. I had a crush on her. I was going to ask her out but one day when I was competing for the clothes I designed she was there sitting and watching the competition. Then when thecompetition was over I asked her how she knew I was working here.

Then she said she was there for her older brother Daniel. I was surprised but it did not matter to me at least I thought! One day I wanted to take her out and she said yes we went to a very nice park and I asked her to be my girlfriend she said yes happily, I was so glad she said yes but as we were eating someone yelled “Delina” It was her brother Daniel, he looked angry and told his sister “I will never let you date this guy” as he pulled her by the arms. 

She was mad at him but he was her older brother she had to listen to him. as she was going she told me “never mind” with her voice down, and left with her brother just like that our date ended. We started dating twice a week without her brother knowing. I don’t know how but her brother knew we were still together.

 Daniel became my enemy because I date his sister and more that makes him hate me is that I am always the winner with my designed clothes, of course not always but sometimes someone else wins, You know you don’t always win you fail and you win. As life was going like this I wanted to introduce her to my family and I did, My parents were so happy to meet her and they liked her personality.

She started coming to my house and my parents get to know her well. I went to her house and met her family they were happy to see me but there was someone who was not happy to see me it was Daniel he glared at me. I got to know her parents well. One day we had a competition the competition was very important because they said they will choose 5 people who can compete together- ,after all, we were many and they had a very big competition coming which they will give 900,000 dollars to the winner. I was so glad and worked hard thinking about what to design.

I also decided to marry Delina. We decided to tell our family and we did, all family was happy to hear. We both discussed when to introduce our families. But as some people say a person plans and God achieves it. When it was left one day to meet our parents each other. My father was going to visit somewhere in his car as he was driving he accidentally crushed someone, He took the person to the hospital the person’s family was called.

When I saw the family of the person, I listened to my heart jumping up and down shaking hard beating faster I couldn’t look at the person’s family’s eye. The person was the father of Delina. I was disappointed I lost my hope of getting married to Delina.  She was sad, She came closer to me and said “ that was God disintegrating not your father’s fault and I am sure he did not mean to do it”. I agree with her but still, I feel bad.

Then suddenly Daniel came and shouted at me. He was not crying at all he had an evil smile. He made my father go to jail. And he wanted me to pay him 600,000 dollars. I mean he was sad, not happy for losing his father but he was also happy because he got a reason to destroy me. His mother and sister did not agree because the money will not return a person’s life.

I never had that much money as I mentioned before we were not rich but we had our daily bread. I started working as a cleaner in a restaurant, My mother started going everywhere and begging for money. Delina saw her somewhere as she was begging she become so sad and she begged her brother to stop asking for money from us but Daniel refused. I also used to give her the pictures of the clothes I designed she kept them safe for me

 Daniel started getting on my nerves, he started to intimidate me to pay him the money as fast as I could. I worked day and night to get more money, Mom said she will sell the gold earrings and juries she had which dad bought her at their wedding that is not good but she had to do it for her husband and her child. We collected 30,00 dollars. We still had more money to get. I left to compete for the 900,000. I went to a man who sells clothes.

 He can make the clothes and sell them but he buys the design. I asked him if he wants some designs. “Yes I do,” he said happily. He asked” did anybody see or copy your design,” I said no. He paid me 10,000. I did not see or call Dalina. She also did not call. My heart was broken. Not because of not getting married to Delina but because of Delina’s father. One day someone knocked on our door.

I was in my bedroom so mom went to open the door and then I heard mom talking with someone. I went to see who was there. It was Delina. I was happy to see her. She came in and asked, ”are you ready for the big competition”? “No, I quit,” I said looking at the ground, She looked like a chicken that saw a knife. “What…why”? she said. “I just can’t I don’t have time to design closes or think for a nice design,” I said. 

Actually, that was a lie I had a bunch of good designs I designed these days in my free time. I just did not feel like competing because now I feel like a loser. She just kept quiet. Finally, after 5 minutes of silence, she said “ You know what? The winner is the person who never gives up on his dreams, the winner is the person that thinks about the future about the happiness that he needs about the happiness that people in his communities need,” This time what she said was tattooed in my brain it had a big meaning behind it.

I just left her and went to my room. After half an hour I came out of my room and she was already gone. I thought over and over about what Delina said. Am I the winner am I the loser what am I? NO, I am the winner and I will stop the darkness that is raining on me. After two days of thinking about the competition, I called Delina and asked her to come to my house. She came the next day and I told her that I was still going to do it.

She was so happy to hear that. Then she told me that her brother told her to be his model-, like she wears the clothes he designed and shows people. I did not feel good but I just showed her a fake smile and said “ that’s good”. The next day the man to whom I sold my designs. He told me to meet him in his shop. I went there and he looked like a red frog. Then he started shouting the minute he saw me saying “ You lier thief you sold to another person and also to me these designs” he shouted.
