Night Rose

“I don't want you to suffer at work. Just stay home and do the things you enjoy,” her husband said affectionately.

“No, I want to work. It'll be hard for you to support us on your own.”

“As long as you're happy every day, I'll be happy too.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

So she stayed home as a housewife, seeing her husband off to work and welcoming him home each day, happily watching him eat the meals she had made…

She thought she would go on being happy like this forever, until one day her mother-in-law pointed at her and yelled, “Name one thing in this house you bought with your own money!”

Then her husband started taking his mother's side more and more, until he said, “So what if I hit you?”

Only then did she finally wake up.

She didn't want to be a freeloader, so she found a job and started studying again. She worked several times harder than everyone else, because she wanted to prove to her nasty mother-in-law that she, too, could earn money and buy all the things she wanted.

Five years of hard work finally paid off. She had become a vice president, and had a BMW and a house spanning more than 200 square meters… She had it all, except the courage to fight for love.
