Remarriage

Ten years passed between my marriage and divorce. I devoted the most important ten years of a woman's life to my ex-husband.

After the divorce, I swore that in this life, I would never trust or depend on another man. As long as I worked hard to give my daughter a comfortable life and be her pillar of support, that would be enough.

Who knew that one day my daughter would say to me, "Mom, I need a father's love, too!"

I looked at the men around me, only to realize that he was the one still standing where he was, smiling at me. "Big Sis, when are you going to agree to be my girlfriend?"

Marriage is a city wall: those outside want to get in, while those inside want to get out. People outside envy the married couples inside, living in harmony and having someone to rely on. Those inside envy the freedom of the people outside, unbound by the shackles of life.

I tried life inside the walls. When I stepped outside again, I no longer had any desire or passion to go back in.

But, as fate would have it, someone just wouldn't leave me alone!
