"Hello friends,45Please respect copyright.PENANA0VK3G0l2uP
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.45Please respect copyright.PENANANC7vKsTf4s

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.45Please respect copyright.PENANAvuF7NPfoMI

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.45Please respect copyright.PENANAdJ6ACMIYKN

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!”45Please respect copyright.PENANA5RYNnqZ7Sk

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.45Please respect copyright.PENANA77elxxGSDZ

Two days later, the boy made his Instagram public. When I saw his pictures properly for the first time… I froze.45Please respect copyright.PENANAqGxrKU5PAP

“Is this boy really the right one for me?”45Please respect copyright.PENANAWHGMD4y3Jd
“Should I look at other proposals?”45Please respect copyright.PENANAnCx4dU6h5o
“Are we even a good match?”45Please respect copyright.PENANA3DOUhf28Ln
45Please respect copyright.PENANAzjhHZBnc9W
Suddenly, I found myself torn between my heart and my mind.45Please respect copyright.PENANAth4tkLzB8b
A quiet storm had started inside me — one I didn’t know how to stop."45Please respect copyright.PENANAysy1paHkTb
