I'm Aunt Liu, I'm 58 years old, and I've been living alone in a small house in the old town for 10 years.
"Mom, I just called you after work. The son's voice rang on the other end of the phone, and his tone was a little agitated.
"What's the matter, baby, are you too tired from work?" I hurriedly asked with concern, my voice full of love.
"It's nothing, it's just the same. The son's tone softened a little, "How are you lately?"
"I'm just a little lonely. I sighed softly, "If only you could come and see me often." "
"Mom, don't always think about what you have and don't have. The son's voice raised a few points again, "If you feel bored, it's better to make more money and make yourself more energetic." "
My son's words poured cold water on my heart like a basin of cold water, and a sudden wave of sourness and loss surged in my heart. I thought my son had finally understood my loneliness, but I didn't expect him to put money first. I lowered my gaze, my eyes moistened.
I held back the tears from coming out of my eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a harsh tone, "Okay, I see." Then don't be too tired, take care of yourself. "
"Well, you too. The son hurriedly answered and hung up the phone in a hurry.
I feebly threw my phone on the table and sat down on the couch with a mess in my mind. Of course I know my son is doing it for my good, but I really don't bother about money. I used to have a happy marriage and family, but now I am only left with this loneliness and emptiness.
"Mom!" A familiar voice pulled me back to reality.
"Xiao Ming, it's you. "I saw my son standing in the doorway, his face was gloomy.
"Are you in a daze again? How many times have I said that you just want to think about something you don't have!" The son was obviously still angry at the phone call.
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I hurriedly reassured, "Mom is just a little lonely and wants to find someone to be with." "
"You're still trying to find a partner at your age? The son's tone became even more excited, "If you feel bored, go out for a walk more, or find a part-time job or something, how can you have time to fall in love!"
When I heard my son's words, my eyes darkened, and my face was full of disappointment and frustration. I hung my head, pinched the corners of my shirt with both hands, and didn't speak for a while.
My son's reaction was beyond my expectations. I thought he was an adult and could understand his mother's loneliness. I didn't expect his thoughts to be so heavy on money and light on feelings. My heart was mixed, some grievances, and some self-blame, maybe there was something wrong with his education in the past.
"Okay, okay, don't be mad. In the end, I still opened my mouth to play a round, "Mom just wants to find someone to be with, and she doesn't mean anything else." "
"You'll have to wait until you're 80 years old!" The son said categorically, "You can stay at home in peace and don't think nonsense." "
After saying that, the son left without looking back. I stood there in a daze, not reacting for a long time. Outside the window, it was a twilight glow, but my mood was cloudy.
Could it be that I could only spend the rest of my life alone like this? My son cared about me, but he didn't understand my heart's desires. I don't have nothing, but I do really, really want a confidant, someone to snuggle up to.
At this moment, a familiar figure appeared in my sight. "Aunt Liu, it's really you! It's been a long time!"
"Oh, Aunt Wang, long time no see!" I hurriedly said hello and looked her up and down.
"You can look stupid about me, like the two of you just a few years ago!" Aunt Wang smiled and said, "It seems that you are living at ease." "
I was slightly stunned, and the smile on my face gradually froze. Aunt Wang is right, I do live very comfortably alone, but my heart is empty, and there is no laughter and laughter in the past.
Looking at Aunt Wang's radiant appearance, I couldn't help but think of her husband. They are a happy couple with both children and daughters, a happy family, and now have a small amount of savings after starting from scratch. I suddenly felt a pang of sourness and envy.
"What's wrong with you? Could it be that you've been having a bad time lately?" Aunt Wang saw my strangeness and asked with concern.
Aunt Wang nodded thoughtfully, as if she also realized my loneliness. We then chatted for a while, and then we took our leave.
Back home, I sat on the couch with a mess in my mind. I began to think back to the moments I had with my late husband, and those happy times seemed to be right around the corner.
I knew my son was doing it for my good, but he didn't understand my loneliness at all. I really need someone who can share the bits and pieces of my life with me and make me less lonely. But how do I look for it? The thought of this makes my heart even heavier.
Just as I was deep in thought, the phone suddenly rang and startled me. I picked up my phone and saw that the caller ID was my son's number.
"Hey, what's wrong baby?" I picked up the phone, my tone a little tired.
"Mom, I thought about it just now, and I felt that I was talking too heavily last time. The son's tone was a little apologetic, "If you really feel lonely, you can also go to the Internet and look at it, maybe you can find someone." "
Hearing my son's words, a warm current suddenly poured into my heart. I didn't expect my son to finally understand my thoughts. Although his approach was a bit awkward, I understood that this was already his biggest concession and support. An unprecedented sense of courage and hope rose in my heart.
"Okay, okay, Mom will definitely think about it. I nodded again and again, and the corners of my mouth finally raised a light smile.
After hanging up the phone, I immediately turned on my computer and searched for some blind date sites on the Internet. Although I was still nervous in my heart, I was also a little excited and looking forward to it.
I never thought about going on an online blind date at this age, but now it seems that it was a good choice. After all, my social circle is so small that it's hard to meet new people on my own. And online blind dates have opened a whole new door for me.
I signed up for a profile on a website that looked more formal, giving a brief introduction to my basic situation and expectations for my future partner. After doing all this, I breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling an unprecedented hesitation and anticipation surging in my heart.
Maybe it's on this site that I was able to meet the person I liked. What kind of person would he be? Will he be able to give me the same wholehearted love and care as my late husband did?
Just as I was about to close the computer, a new avatar suddenly caught my eye. It was an amiable-looking middle-aged man, his personal information read: 58 years old, divorced, former worker, hoping to find a soulmate to care for each other.
I ghostly opened his profile and began to look at his details. As I watched it, my heart gradually became attracted to his gentle and unpretentious character, and the feeling wonderfully reminded me of the shadow of my late husband.
"Hello, I also live alone, the children have already started a family, and I feel a little lonely. He said in the chat window.
"It couldn't be better. But after all, we met online, would you like to meet first?"
Seeing this message, my heart pounded, and a sense of excitement and tension surged through my body. When I finally see him, should I dress up beforehand?
In the end, I decided to keep my most modest appearance. After agreeing on the time and place to meet, I tidied up my appearance and couldn't wait to set out on the journey to meet this netizen.
Along the way, my heart was like a living sea, with rough waves and all kinds of thoughts churning in my mind. If this meeting is successful, will the two of us really start a relationship? Will my son object again? But even if he does, I must strive for my own happiness.
When I came to the café, I quickly saw the netizen waving. He was more energetic than he looked in the photo, smiling, with crooked eyes, and very kind.
"Hello, I'm the friend in the chat. He looked me up and down, and his tone was sincere.
"Hello, hello, I am glad to see you. I hurriedly returned the salute, a little reserved.
We looked at each other and smiled, and began to talk and laugh, gradually dispelling the initial strangeness. Chatting and chatting, I found that in addition to being simple and kind, this person is also quite humorous, which makes me feel very involved.
In this way, we talked happily over coffee, and only when it was completely dark did we reluctantly say goodbye. When he was leaving, he also offered to ask for my phone number, which made me feel very happy.
Maybe this time, I can really have a sweet relationship again. I walked briskly on the way home, and my heart was enveloped by the sunshine of happiness for the first time in a long time. Let's wait and see!
"Hey, baby, guess what Mommy did today?"
"What's so happy?" The son seemed to be a little confused.
"I met a very nice friend online and we met today. I said in a cheerful tone, "He is very good, don't worry, my mother will not mess around." "
There was silence for a while, and then his son's voice was a little anxious: "What are you talking about? You still go on an online blind date at your age?"
When I heard my son's words, my mood suddenly fell again. I thought my son would finally understand my thoughts, but I didn't expect him to be so negative and paranoid. An inexplicable grievance and loss surging in my heart.
"Don't say anything more, I have nothing to lose. I pretended to be free, but my tone was a little astringent.
"You're just too willful!" The son's tone was even more agitated, "Why don't you listen to persuasion?
"Son, can you understand my mother's feelings?" I reluctantly said, "Mom is really lonely, and she needs someone who can care for and take care of herself." Can't you support your mom once?"
"But what if someone cheats you?" The son's tone was full of worry, "Can't you just think twice?"
My son's words pierced my heart again. I knew he was doing it for my good, but he couldn't understand the loneliness and longing in my heart. How on earth am I going to make him understand? My eyes were moist and tears were rolling in my eyes.
Eventually, I took a deep breath, tried to suppress the sourness in my heart, and said in a firm tone, "Son, you just believe in your mother this time." Mom has already figured it out, she just wants someone to care for each other and give me some comfort. Bless me. "
Maybe I'm really a little headstrong and reckless, but I really need someone who can give me comfort and love. My son will never be able to understand the loneliness in my heart, he is simply worried that I will be deceived. But I really have nothing left to lose, I just want to try to make the last chance of happiness.
After more than an hour, the doorbell finally rang. I couldn't wait to open the door, only to see the friend standing outside, smiling and handing me a large bouquet of flowers.
"Hello, I'm here to visit you. He said, scratching his head a little embarrassedly.
"Oops, you're so polite. I hurriedly took the flowers, and my face was happy, "Please come in." "
I made him a cup of hot tea, and we chatted and laughed in the living room. As we chatted, we unconsciously got closer, as close as old friends.
Looking at the sincere and enthusiastic expressions of the other party, my heart was wrapped in an unprecedented warmth. Maybe this is the confidant that God is destined to give me. I secretly made up my mind that I must make the most of this opportunity and not let it slip away like this.
"Your home is so special. The friend looked around approvingly, and said in a sincere tone, "How do you think we can sit and chat here often in the future?"
"That's nature, I can't wait. I smiled and said, my eyes full of anticipation, "You can just make this your home, and come back more often in the future." "
And so we talked for more than an hour, until it was getting dark. When I was leaving, I kept him again and again, and then he reluctantly said goodbye and left. Standing in front of the window and watching his back, my heart was filled with warmth for the first time in a long time.
Maybe this time I can really have happiness again. As long as we maintain the enthusiasm and perseverance we have now, we will definitely be able to develop a sweet relationship. Let me wait and see and try to grasp this precious opportunity!
