"Hello friends,21Please respect copyright.PENANAhuLouTpLXp
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.21Please respect copyright.PENANAllXNseFrr9

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.21Please respect copyright.PENANAhvsRgowZpF

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.21Please respect copyright.PENANAaifVyyLqhI

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!”21Please respect copyright.PENANAxioAGU3Fwe

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.21Please respect copyright.PENANA27zVCZ5gT8

Two days later, the boy made his Instagram public. When I saw his pictures properly for the first time… I froze.21Please respect copyright.PENANA8W4uKkG1Ud

“Should I look at other proposals?”21Please respect copyright.PENANA1VY1UTxMRa
“Are we even a good match?”21Please respect copyright.PENANAWiy292ik8p

Suddenly, I found myself torn between my heart and my mind.21Please respect copyright.PENANArVlBmVXX1n
A quiet storm had started inside me — one I didn’t know how to stop."21Please respect copyright.PENANATNy1OhdqTa
