On a hot summer day, I sat on the balcony with a glass of cold juice in my hand, staring at the scenery in front of me, but my heart was desolate.
I am an ordinary office worker, and a seemingly ordinary family. I have a husband, a son, and a mundane but stable job. However, the peace of all was shattered two years ago.
It was an ordinary weekend, and when I casually looked through my husband's phone, I found some information that shocked me. It turned out that he had an unusual connection with a woman named Xiaoya. At first, I chose to believe his explanation, thinking it might just be a misunderstanding. However, as time went on, I began to find more clues.
Xiaoya, a young and beautiful woman, became a thorn in my heart. She lived with my husband for two years and I didn't know anything about it. I imagined the picture of them together, and my heart was filled with pain and anger. However, I chose to remain silent.
I chose to endure and choose to suffer this pain silently by myself. I didn't do anything, I just accepted it all silently. I told myself that maybe it was just a momentary loss, maybe he would turn back.
However, fate doesn't seem to favor me. During these two years, I watched my husband and Xiaoya live together the life I once dreamed of. They traveled, went shopping, and even renovated a house together. And I, on the other hand, can only bear all this silently at home.
Until one day, I received a letter from a lawyer. The letter said that my husband had transferred five houses in my name to his and Xiaoya's names. I was struck like a bolt from the blue, and my heart was filled with anger and despair.
However, just as I was about to challenge him, he took the initiative to find me. He looked at me with guilt and guilt in his eyes. He said he knew he was wrong, he knew he was sorry for me. He begged me to forgive him and give him a chance to start over.
I looked at him with a heart full of contradictions and struggles. I don't know how to face him, I don't know how to deal with all this. However, when I saw the tears in his eyes, I was suddenly relieved.
Perhaps, this is the arrangement of fate. Perhaps, all this is a test of heaven for me. I knew I couldn't stay with him anymore. I need to give myself a chance to start over, I need to regain my dignity and self-confidence.
So, I decided to leave him and start a new life. I won't be suffering anymore about him and Xiaoya, I will tell myself that this is just an episode in my life. I would tell myself that I deserved better happiness.
I stood up and faced the scenery in front of me, but there was a sense of peace in my heart. I know that although there is still a long way to go, I will strive to move forward and meet every challenge in life. Because I believe that as long as I persevere, happiness awaits me not far away.
