"Hello friends,36Please respect copyright.PENANAkPsZ0tWNKB
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.36Please respect copyright.PENANAJRJ0z87zQH

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.36Please respect copyright.PENANAGVXoYSSERH

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.36Please respect copyright.PENANAYtGHUkNTK8

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!”36Please respect copyright.PENANAW6flUHyF8g

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.36Please respect copyright.PENANAJeRF0U87EP

Two days later, the boy made his Instagram public. When I saw his pictures properly for the first time… I froze.36Please respect copyright.PENANA3PxNoOL960

“Is this boy really the right one for me?”36Please respect copyright.PENANA0irNkakEqO
“Should I look at other proposals?”36Please respect copyright.PENANAot1e3gjtxW
“Are we even a good match?”36Please respect copyright.PENANAbiDrzsj7RJ
36Please respect copyright.PENANAVJYFyjxcxQ
Suddenly, I found myself torn between my heart and my mind.36Please respect copyright.PENANANvgBqPciXJ
A quiet storm had started inside me — one I didn’t know how to stop."36Please respect copyright.PENANAHhEBq5MybQ
