Today, I want to share the story of a girl who had just one simple dream to make her mother happy. That girl was me.42Please respect copyright.PENANAzLrDGsu3cy

I always believed that if I could get a good job and become independent, I’d be able to bring a smile to my mom’s face. But destiny had other plans for me.42Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ4UrzFc2i

One day, my mother decided it was time for me to get married. I didn’t have the courage to say no. I stayed quiet maybe because deep down, I didn’t want to hurt her. Soon, my aunt brought a proposal, and I was only told the boy’s name.42Please respect copyright.PENANAn57Q4XJZPO

Curious and a little nervous, I asked my best friend to check his Instagram. But his profile was private. So, we looked him up on Facebook. There was just one small, round profile picture. Looking at that photo, I jokingly said, “He looks like the father of two kids!”42Please respect copyright.PENANA7mi7eVTg56

I laughed it off. It was just a silly comment. I never imagined that those few words would plant such deep confusion in my heart.42Please respect copyright.PENANAd8podZ9dM8

Two days later, the boy made his Instagram public. When I saw his pictures properly for the first time… I froze.42Please respect copyright.PENANAghQ4evvDks

Suddenly, I found myself torn between my heart and my mind.42Please respect copyright.PENANALPUFngLboV
A quiet storm had started inside me — one I didn’t know how to stop."42Please respect copyright.PENANAn1jPwJ6XHd
