Xiaohong and I can be said to be childhood sweethearts, and we have been lovers since high school. The glue-like high school life was fleeting, and we were successfully admitted to the same university. I often joke that it must have been arranged by God so that we could spend four years of college together.
In the four years of college, we had a very stable relationship, and after graduation, we stepped into the society. I got a good job in a foreign company, and Xiaohong also went to work as an administrative receptionist in a large company. The two of us had successful careers and gradually became more affluent, so we began to prepare to get married and buy a house.
When I discussed marriage with my mother, her face was not very good-looking. I know in my heart that she has always felt that Xiaohong's conditions are not good enough and she is not worthy of being our wife. But I insisted on my choice, and I still registered my marriage with Xiaohong under my mother's cold face. After we got married, we rented a house and saved up for a year to buy a second-hand house. When my mother found out about this, her face became even more gloomy, and she didn't contact me for months.
A few days ago, my mother suddenly called ** and said in a very calm tone, she finally agreed to divorce me and Xiaohong, but asked Xiaohong to leave the house she bought to my house and leave the house by herself. When I heard this request, I was stunned and angry. I replied bluntly, "Xiaohong and I don't plan to divorce", and hung up on my mother's **.
I was so aggrieved that I quickly told Xiaohong about it. As soon as she heard this, her hands began to tremble, and she choked up and asked me, "What do you mean by that, Mom?"She forced us to divorce?I saw that Xiaohong was so sad, so I hurriedly hugged her and comforted: "Mom, that's just a momentary brain fever, let's not take it to heart." ”
Xiaohong sobbed and said, "But after so many years of marriage, your mother has always opposed me so much, and now she wants to force us to divorce, I am really worried that there will be more trouble in the future." ”
I sighed: "I understand your worries, and I know my mother's temper. But the two of us have such a good relationship, and we have lived in the house we just bought for more than a year, just because the old ** people have different views, we can't just give up this home, right?”
Xiaohong lowered her head, as if in deep thought. After a long while, she raised her head, there were no tears in her eyes, and said in a resolute tone: "Husband, I have thought clearly, let's agree to divorce." Anyway, your mother is a very prejudiced person, and she has always looked at me unpleasantly all these years since I got married. If you are really divorced as she said, you will live in this house by yourself, and I will rent a house to live, which is better than seeing her and getting tired of each other in the future. ”
I wanted to speak and stopped, and my heart was very uncomfortable. Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiaohong persuaded me softly: "Don't feel indebted to me, I don't leave this family alone." We can be friends in the future, we can eat and go shopping together or something. Just return to your free body and find someone more suitable to marry and have a baby. ”
My heart was like a knife, and I tried hard to persuade: "Xiaohong, I really can't live without you." Our relationship has been tested for so long before we finally come to this point. Just for my mother's vexatious thoughts, should we give up easily?I promise that no matter what means she uses in the future, I will protect you and preserve our marriage. You have to trust me!”
Xiaohong sighed helplessly and gently pushed my hand away: "Then so be it." I compromised your mom once, but this is the last time. Take care of yourself. With that, she turned around and entered the bedroom with red eyes, slamming the door shut.
I slammed my fist against the wall, holding back the tears that I wanted to run. After pacing back and forth a few steps, I put on my coat and drove alone to a nearby bar, trying to dilute this changed life with alcohol. I drank at the bar until late at night before driving home exhausted. As soon as I entered the door, I saw that the living room was messy, and Xiaohong's things were gone. I hurried into the bedroom, and there was still little red, only the cold big bed and a letter she left behind.
I opened the letter with trembling hands, and there were only a few short sentences inside: "I'm sorry, I'm really leaving." We will all find our own happiness. Don't come to me. Little Red".
I slammed my fist on the bedside table, so incompetent!I will never be able to protect the people I love the most!
Mom, I'm back. What the hell do you want?Do you have to divorce Xiaohong?I looked at my mom and couldn't help but raise my voice.
But I only love Xiaohong!I interrupted my mother excitedly, "We have been in love for so many years, how can you judge that she is not worthy of me?"”
The best?The best one is Little Red!I yelled with red eyes. After a pause, I whispered again, "Mom, what if I'm leaving?"Anyway, I won't sign the divorce agreement. With that, I turned around and left as if I had lost my soul, and returned to the old house where Xiaohong and I had lived.
It's too uncomfortable to live alone. From time to time, I can still smell the fragrance of Xiaohong's body, and this longing is like a fish in my throat, reminding me of the great lack in my life. I wonder if she'll be better off than I am, because she has the courage to make the decision to leave. Will she be reminded of our past in the dead of night?As the days passed, there was no hope in my life. After working for so many years, I thought that I had a successful career and was financially wealthy, and I could give Xiaohong a comfortable and happy life. Who knew that a divorce agreement could keep us apart forever. I began to question the meaning of life and felt deeply guilty about my powerlessness.
