In most cases, we think that we are going through the toughest times in life until we listen to others tell their story.
He is called Omar.
He lives in a far african village, but he says that a lot of people in this place do not call him by his real name, Omar, because they always keep calling him a lot of different names according to the way he looks.
They call him different and annoying names, but the most common one is giturugunu, a name in their local language.
That means something that is swollen, big and ugly.
His entire family is being affected by this disease and they all do not know where it came from.
And the moment we heard about Omar, we started the journey to the far village where he lives so that we can get to know about his life and tell his story.
Omar says that no one in his family had ever been affected by this illness before, and he says that he was the first victim of this terrible situation that he is undergoing.
He was not at all born like this.
His parents told him that they gave birth to a normal and beautiful baby, but things changed some years later.
At two to three years old, Omar started getting headache and the muscle grew on his head, but at that moment it was normal and they never took it to be a very big deal, but the little muscle grew and started becoming bigger each day.
They tried taking him to the hospital.
The doctors examined his body, but they also couldn’t tell what it was.
They kept on giving him painkillers and told his parents that he was supposed to undergo surgery at an older age.
He went to the hospital and they carried out surgery on him, but still changed nothing at all, because one side of his face continued falling and pouring like there was water.
And since surgery also failed, they could not afford to take him to a much bigger hospital.
So they took him back home, since there was nothing more they could do about it.
With such facial deformity, there was completely no way that he could go to school, because other children would bully and tease him, and the pain he was going through was also another thing to worry abou
So he stayed home.
He grew up and turned into a man that was ready for marriage, but no girl even wanted to be friends with such a person, which means that every girl he ever got close to rejected him at first sight because of the way he looked until he met.
Muajab Najab says that he met Omar with a lot of depression after being rejected by a lot of different women.
So she decided to become friends with him, which later grew into a relationship, and before they knew it they finally got married.
She says that by the time Omar asked for her hand in marriage, he was poor and disabled.
She knew that if she said no, there was actually no woman that would take Omar to be her husband, so she accepted and decided to spend the rest of her life with him.
A lot of people from her family called her stupid and foolish to take such a man to be her husband, but she gave them a deaf ear and decided to stick to her decision.
She later got pregnant and they were so happy because they were expecting their first born.
She at least thought that they were going to have a normal baby and she had hope that he would at least be fine.
She gave birth to a baby boy and, upon looking at him, he was also disabled because the size of his face were not balanced at his name is all.
He is the couple’s first born.
Well, he is also facing this problem and he says that a few years ago it was worse than this.
He underwent a minor surgery that helped him a little, but the situation gets worse as he grows.
He says that at school children keep bullying and teasing him, which hurts a lot because they involve his entire family.
