"Hello friends,297Please respect copyright.PENANACo0IwR8U8j
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.297Please respect copyright.PENANAVIeW6ZZZav

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.297Please respect copyright.PENANALl1qyAXOYA

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.297Please respect copyright.PENANAAv1827xEZP

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!”297Please respect copyright.PENANAwwnf2muTBB

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.297Please respect copyright.PENANAHIS7GEseco

Two days later, the boy made his Instagram public. When I saw his pictures properly for the first time… I froze.297Please respect copyright.PENANAlrGnGcsw5p

“Is this boy really the right one for me?”297Please respect copyright.PENANAyjAAzXXvl2
“Should I look at other proposals?”297Please respect copyright.PENANA6HOgT7cCDw
“Are we even a good match?”297Please respect copyright.PENANAa8I7XjtAJC
297Please respect copyright.PENANAlQfRGlbMwQ
Suddenly, I found myself torn between my heart and my mind.297Please respect copyright.PENANAL0tlsKIf88
A quiet storm had started inside me — one I didn’t know how to stop."297Please respect copyright.PENANAtr3xHXgSBP
