When Everything Is Broken And Torn

In the dead silence,the sound of my mobile phone vibrating was particularly clear.

The message from my daughter-in-law popped up.

[I’m sorry,Mom.The store sent me a text message about the dress.I was so excited this morning that I didn’t check my phone.I apologize to you on behalf of Dad.He was a bit harsh this time.You haven’t worked for so many years.How can you remember the knowledge you learned before?You don’t have to buy food tonight.We’ll pack some food for you after dinner.What about the food in a five-star hotel?You’ve been saving for half your life.You probably haven’t eaten it.Consider it as an apology from your daughter-in-law.]

It wasn’t bright yet,it was gray.

There was only a bright light from the phone screen in the house,which stung my eyes and made me cry uncontrollably.

I swallowed all the pain and suffering of twenty years by myself.Everyone took my efforts for granted and everyone despised me for enjoying myself at home.

I wanted to end it all.

At five in the morning,I got up despite the pain and fell asleep on the bed.

I woke up naturally at eleven o’clock.I packed up everyone’s things except me in the house,put them in a suitcase and threw them downstairs.

I changed the password of the password lock at home,printed out the divorce agreement I had prepared a few days ago,signed it and sent it to Bernard’s company.

This house was left to me by my mother who died young and it was my pre-marital property.

Now that I was divorced from Bernard,I naturally wanted to take it back.

After doing all this,I made an appointment with a well-known photographer to take wedding photos for myself.

Wedding dresses were every woman’s dream,but getting married was not.

I would compensate myself little by little for the twenty years I was owed.

Looking at the empty house,I breathed a sigh of relief.

I always felt that the house was full,but in fact,there were very few things that belonged to me.

I prayed for my eldest daughter as I did in previous years.

After so many years,it seemed that I was the only one who remembered her.

Then I handed their luggage to the doorman,packed my luggage and embarked on my dream-chasing journey.

From now on,my life belonged only to me.
