"Have you heard? Xiaohong, that slut, actually got along with someone else behind her husband's back!" Ali said indignantly.
"It's shameless, a good family is not satisfied, and dares to do such a thing!" Xiaomei chimed in.
I covered my mouth and frowned. Tears rolled in my eyes, and I tried hard to push them back. What a nice person Xiaohong's husband is, and how he dotes on her. Every time they meet, they are inseparable and full of happiness. Now that I think about it, is that just a good disguise for Red? I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists tightly. A feeble anger churned within me.
"Xiaohong, do you have anything else to explain?" I asked, disappointed and angry in my tone.
"You don't know, you know what you're doing!" I interrupted her, "How can you hurt your husband and children like this? Have you ever thought about how sad they will be?"
I remembered how much her husband loved her. How he held her in the palm of his hand and regarded her as the pearl of his palm. At every party, their loving appearance makes us singles envious. Now that I think about it, is that just a good disguise for Xiaohong? How did she deceive us all? My heart was full of mixed feelings, pain, anger, and disappointment came rushing over, and my eyes were hot for a while.
I stared at Red tightly, my eyes full of accusations. My fists rattled and cracked so hard that my knuckles turned white. I gritted my teeth, my throat felt like I was choking on something, and I had trouble breathing.
Xiaohong still lowered her head, her hands twisting the corners of her clothes incessantly, as if she was hiding something. Her eyes were filled with tears, and drops fell to the ground, blurring small water stains. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't speak.
I stared at her, waiting for her explanation. However, she just didn't say a word, and let the tears slide freely. My heart ached more and more, and I was almost overwhelmed by this feeling of powerlessness. As her best friend, I loved and trusted her so much, but I didn't expect her to break my heart.
"Xiaohong, do you have anything to say?" I finally couldn't help but speak, my voice full of choked up, "Our friendship for so many years, did you abandon it so easily?"
I frowned and looked at her puzzled: "What do you mean to be too tired? What do you have to be tired of? Your husband spoils you so much, you live a carefree life, what else is there to complain about?"
Xiaohong raised her head, her eyes full of helplessness and exhaustion: "You don't understand, you are not me." My life seems to be a happy one, but in fact it is a cage. He controlled everything about me, and I couldn't even breathe a breath of it. "
I was shocked by Xiaohong's words. It turned out that her married life was not as happy as we see, but like a cage that imprisoned her. It dawned on me that we, the friends, had only seen the surface of her life, but had never really entered her inner world. We have been so simplistic in judging and defining her situation that we have not put ourselves in her shoes.
Xiaohong's parents' divorce left a deep shadow on her, and she longs for a complete and warm family, which is her lifelong wish. But when she got her wish, her husband controlled everything about her in a strict way, leaving her breathless. It occurred to me that there had been times when she had looked tired and helpless, and we had just laughed and thought she was tired. It turned out that she had been suppressing her inner cry, and no one heard her voice.
My heart suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness and guilt. As her best friend, how could I be so blind? How could I not see the pain in her heart? No wonder she would do that kind of thing, it was a kind of rebellion and breakthrough in this oppressive life.
I had my mouth open, speechless. Xiaohong's words hit me hard in the heart like a heavy blow. I looked into her tired eyes and suddenly realized how real the helplessness and pain were.
Xiaohong's eyes were dull, and her whole person seemed to be crushed by the weight of life. Her hair was unkempt and her clothes were disheveled, as if she hadn't taken good care of herself in a long time. When tears finally welled up in my eyes, I stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
Little Red's body trembled gently in my arms, and she seemed to be sobbing too. We embraced each other like this, tears soaking each other's clothes.
"I don't know what to do anymore. After a long while, Xiaohong finally spoke, her voice weak, "I used to want a complete family so much, but when I got my wish, it became my cage. Everything about me was controlled by him, and my life was deprived of autonomy. I was in a lot of pain, but I had nowhere to talk. "
"However, cheating is not the solution to the problem. I said softly, "You're only going to put yourself in more pain by doing this." "
Xiaohong nodded, her eyes darkened: "I know, but I'm desperate." I tried to communicate with him, but he didn't listen, he just wanted to treat me like his vassal. My life is controlled by him in the palm of his hand, and everything about me no longer belongs to me. "
I hugged Xiaohong tightly, and I was distressed. It turns out that she has been suffering like this, and none of us have found out. We, the so-called good friends, only care about our own lives, and don't really get into her heart at all.
"And what are you going to do?" I asked softly, "Are you still going to stay in this house?"
My heart was pierced by her despair. I hugged her tightly, hoping to use my warmth to dispel the gloom in her heart. As her best friend, I vowed to help her regain her meaning and courage in life.
"Xiaohong, I'm sorry, we were too selfish. I finally spoke, my voice choked, "We only see your happiness on the surface, but we never get to know your true feelings. I'm sorry that you've been in such pain, and we don't know it. "
Xiaohong raised her head, her eyes gloomy: "No, it's not your fault. It's me who is too good at disguising and hiding my pain deep in my heart. You're my best friend, and it's my fault that I've never told you about my troubles. "
Xiaohong smiled weakly: "Actually, I also fantasized about divorce. However, to do so would be to admit that I had made the wrong choice. You know, how much I longed for a complete family, and what a shadow my parents' divorce left on me. So, how happy I was when I married him. I thought I had finally found my own paradise. "
Her eyes darkened, and her tone became weak: "However, I soon discovered that this is not the paradise I imagined at all, but a cage. He controls everything about me, and I can't even breathe a breath on my own. I tried to communicate with him, but he didn't listen, he just wanted to treat me like a vassal to him. "
I looked at her sadly, tears welling up in my eyes again. It turned out that she had been suffering like this, and none of us found out. We, the so-called good friends, only care about our own lives, and don't really get into her heart at all.
"And what are you going to do now?" I asked softly, "Are you still going to stay in this house?"
Xiaohong was silent for a moment, then slowly shook her head: "I don't know, I really don't know what to do." My heart was broken, and I didn't have the courage to face it all. "
Hearing her words of desperation pierced my heart deeply. I hugged her tightly, hoping to use my warmth to dispel the gloom in her heart. As her best friend, I vowed to help her regain her meaning and courage in life.
"Xiaohong, don't give up. I said firmly, "You and our friends, we will definitely accompany and support you through this difficult time." You're not fighting alone, we're all going to fight alongside you. "
Xiaohong nodded slightly, but her eyes were still dim. I know it won't happen overnight to regain her confidence, but we have to work hard to help her get out of the gloom one step at a time.
Just then, my phone rang, and it was Ali calling.
"Hey, Ali, what's the matter?" I picked up the phone, my voice a little choked.
"Have you talked to Xiaohong? What the hell is going on with her? Her husband is too a bastard, he actually forced her to be like this!" Ali's voice was filled with anger.
I looked at Xiaohong, who was looking gloomy with her head down. I know that the last thing she needs right now is to be blamed and condemned. So I said, "Ali, the most important thing now is to support Xiaohong through the difficult time, instead of blaming who is right and who is wrong." She is in a difficult situation right now, and we as friends should give her the help and love we can. "
"Ali, I know you have good intentions, but the most important thing now is to be considerate of Xiaohong's feelings. She is at a low point in her life, and if we blame her again, it will only make her more desperate. We should embrace her with love and empathy, not hurt her with condemnation. "
Ali was silent for a while, and finally sighed: "Okay, I see. You're right, the most important thing now is to support Xiaohong through the difficulties. No matter what happens, we will always be there for her. "
"Thank you for your understanding, Ali. I said gratefully, "With these good friends by my side, Xiaohong will definitely be able to regain her courage and hope." "
I hung up the phone, turned around and hugged Red tightly. Her body trembled slightly in my arms, but I knew that with our support and love, she would be able to rekindle her desire and love for life.
