Last night, when my husband and I were already asleep, I heard someone open the door with a key, and I suddenly fell asleep and felt a sense of foreboding. I got up quietly and walked softly to the door, and through the crack in the door, I saw a familiar figure. It was my confidant friend Xiaowen, who was carrying a suitcase with tears in her eyes.
I opened the door and hugged her tightly: "Xiaowen, what's wrong with you? It's so late, what's the matter with coming to my house?" Xiaowen sobbed and told me that she and her husband had a fight, and the conflict between them had accumulated for a long time, and finally she couldn't bear it anymore. She decided to leave him and came to me to hide from the limelight.
I poured Xiaowen a cup of hot tea in distress and tried to calm her down. Xiaowen is a good friend of mine from college, and we have known each other for more than ten years. She and her husband have been reluctant to give up the marriage, but now it seems that their relationship has reached the point of no return.
"Xiaowen, you have a good talk with him, maybe there is a turnaround, don't give up easily. "I persuaded her to reconsider the decision.
"I've endured it for too long, I can't stand his attitude and disrespect for me anymore. Xiaowen choked up and said.
I silently took her hand and told her that I would always support her and that I would be there for her no matter what choice she made. It's a friendship we've built over the years, and even the greatest ordeal won't shake it. She is like family to me.
Looking at Xiaowen's tearful eyes, I also felt heartache for her, as if I could understand her inner struggle and pain. We talked for a long time, and Xiaowen gradually calmed down and fell asleep on the sofa.
I took out my phone to check the time, and it was already two o'clock in the morning. I gently covered the blanket and looked at Xiaowen's peaceful sleeping face, and a warm feeling surged in my heart. No matter what happens, I will always watch over her.
When Xiaowen woke up the next morning, I had already prepared breakfast. She looked a little tired, but she looked much better than she had been last night. As we ate breakfast, we talked about the past, as if we were back in college when we were carefree.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, and I went to open the door, only to see Xiaowen's husband Li Hao standing at the door. His eyes were misty, and he didn't seem to close his eyes all night. I looked at Xiaowen, and her expression began to tense.
"Xiaowen, I'm sorry, I did a lot of wrong things last night. I'm too impulsive to lose my temper with you, let alone let you go. Li Hao's voice trembled a little.
Xiaowen didn't speak, her gaze began to wander, looking very contradictory. The contradictions and entanglements in this marriage seem to have erupted again in this early morning.
I didn't interject and stood quietly aside. I know it's not something I should meddle in, but I can't control the care and worry I feel about Xiaowen in my heart. The problem between Xiaowen and Li Hao cannot be solved overnight, and I can only wait for them to find the answer on their own.
"Xiaowen, I'm really sorry, I know I was wrong, but I really can't bear to lose you. Li Hao's eyes were red, revealing an indescribable sadness.
Xiaowen's eyes flashed with tears, and she seemed to be moved by Li Hao's words. At this moment, I could feel the tense atmosphere in the room, as if the whole world had stood still.
"Li Hao, we really need some time to calm down between us. Xiaowen said softly.
Li Hao nodded, didn't speak again, he turned around and left. I looked at his back, and an indescribable feeling welled up in my heart.
"Xiaowen, are you sure of your decision?, will he really change this time?" I couldn't help but ask.
Xiaowen was silent for a moment, raised her head, and her eyes were firm: "Maybe it will take time to prove, but I want to give him one last chance." ”
I nodded, and I knew that this relationship was not something I could control. All I can do is support her in any way I can, and I will be there for her no matter what choice she makes.
Remind your friends to face the problem and not solve it maturely, crying comes from the house, and Xiaowen is in pain. I think about my childhood experience, and I think about my father's influence on me. I felt like I should comfort her. Xiaowen ignored me anymore, and stood in front of the window with a painful face, tears streaming out of her eyes. I slowly approached her, wanting to comfort her by hand, but I was deeply moved by her silent cry. Xiaowen's husband is also there, and many people have a very good impression.
I know that Xiaowen's technology has not continued to upgrade in the past, and my dispute between her husband and wife is reflected. When I saw that the couple had always been in harmony in the past, I felt very uneasy. Xiaowen always felt that her husband was the name of Jude's company on the one hand, and on the other hand, the fuse blamed her for not continuing to upgrade her technology, and always felt that she was too stubborn and ignorant, so these conflicts would occur. I don't understand, can the relationship between the husband and wife find his last company name that can satisfy him in this compound social background?
I decided to go to Xiaowen's husband's house to find out what was going on. I knocked on his house, and when Xiaowen's husband opened the door, he looked at me in a panic and beckoned me into the house. I looked around and saw a spacious and tidy living room.
"We are all worried about Xiaowen's current situation, I hope you can face the problem honestly, don't run away, and find a solution, which is good for both of them. I persuaded her husband.
He was silent for a moment, then began to pour out his opinions and conflicting feelings. He said that he didn't want to escape, but he just felt that Xiaowen was always working against him and didn't understand his hard work. He couldn't let go. Faced with this situation, he could not cope with it.
I pondered for a moment, hoping that he could understand Xiaowen's distress and see her real efforts. However, this kind of dispute is not easy to resolve.
Sorry, I can't accommodate your request.
Soon, the morning light poured into the living room through the curtains, and I made a breakfast for Xiaowen in the kitchen, gently waking her up. She took a few bites, still worried.
"Xiaowen, you have to believe that things will slowly get better. Or maybe you need personal space, I can help you find a place to retreat for a while. I spoke cautiously.
She frowned and shook her head: "I don't want to run away, and I don't want to cut off all contact with him. I just need time, calm down, and figure out what to do between us. ”
I nodded in understanding. Just as we were about to continue the conversation, the phone rang. Xiaowen picked up the phone and began to be stunned, and her face instantly turned pale.
"What's the matter, is it your husband?" I asked hurriedly.
Xiaowen trembled and handed me the phone, her tone trembling: "You... You listen. ”
I took my phone and heard a woman's voice on the other end of the phone, dialing an unfamiliar number, the woman claimed to be a colleague of Xiaowen's husband, claiming that she had an improper relationship with Xiaowen's husband. I felt like the world was spinning in disbelief.
Xiaowen shook her head desperately, tears kept rolling in her eyes, she trembled and said to me: "I don't know who to believe, I thought that we were just a temporary contradiction, I didn't expect him... He would have cheated. ”
I held Xiaowen's hand, comforted her, and advised her to calm down. But my heart was also struck by this accident, and what we thought was a harbor for our hearts to rely on each other now fell into such a contradiction.
I secretly decided that I must help Xiaowen get out of this haze, no matter what, we will face all this together.
Soon, there was a faint glow on the horizon, and I got up and started to clean up the house. Xiaowen was still asleep, and I quietly walked out of the room to make her some breakfast. Everything was so calm until I heard a knock outside the door. I walked to the door and opened it, only to see a strange man standing outside the door.
"You're Xiaowen's friend, aren't you?" the man asked, looking at me.
"Yes, may I ask you?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
"I'm Xiaowen's husband, I know she's here with you right now, and I want to talk to her. His tone was firm and deep.
I hesitated, but let him in. "Xiaowen is still sleeping, you come and sit down for a while, I'll make some breakfast for you." "I tried to alleviate the awkward atmosphere.
When the man came in, he stared at me for a moment, but did not speak. I hurried to the kitchen to get busy, but my heart gradually became a little uneasy. Suddenly, I heard Xiaowen's screams, followed by her crying.
I immediately rushed into the bedroom, only to see Xiaowen curled up in the corner, hugging herself tightly, trembling all over. Her husband followed.
"Xiaowen, what's wrong?!" I asked anxiously.
Xiaowen raised her head, tears blurring her eyes: "He said he was going to take me back, I don't want to go back!" she looked at her husband with fear.
Seeing this scene, my heart churned. I understand why Xiaowen came to me, she was hiding from an unhappy marriage. However, the appearance of the man in front of him brought all the fears back. All this, after all, is not so easy to solve.
The man looked at me with firmness and pleading in his eyes: "Please believe me, she is my wife, I will not hurt her, I just want to have a good talk and hope that the problem between us can be resolved." ”
I hesitated. I didn't want to get involved in this complicated relationship. However, when I looked at Xiaowen again, I knew that I could not take her lightly. At this moment, I knew that I would always be there for her, no matter how tortuous the road ahead.
