4- The First Crack In My Walls
I couldn't believe him in the very beginning
But that word hit something inside me
Ria : FL
💭Like he didn't say it...
Ria : FL
💭Like "intentions " was another word for forever
Ria : FL
💭but I learned-- some men use soft words to hide sharp knives
Ria : FL
Still...those words kept echoing inside my head
Nixon
"I want to marry to propose to your family"
Nixon
"To marry you....soon."
Those words left a bitter heartache in me
Ria : Months Ago
💭What if....he's the right guy?
Ria : Months Ago
💭The man Mama always dreamed of for me?
Ria : Months Ago
💭What if he disappears because I keep ignoring him...and I'll regret it my whole life?
Guilt started pressing down on my chest--- especially when I remembered my mother
She has been working day and night to raise me
putting me through the best college in the country
Even when she was tired, sick, or in pain-- she never complained
But I still heard her.....
Ria's mother
(that night, crying)...😭God, don't take me before I see her in a good man's home
Ria's mother
She has no one but me...
Ria's mother
Please, give me the strength to go on
Ria's mother
To keep working...
Ria's mother
To keep providing her everything until that day
Ria's mother
I'm running out of strength
Ria's mother
But I don't want her to feel she's lacking of anything...*Sobbing
After that night, she was hospitalized more than once
And every time I visited her, she still smiled
Ria's mother
I'm not going anywhere
Ria's mother
Not utill I hand you to the man you deserve
Ria's mother
A man who'll protect you...like your father and l always did
Ria : Months Ago
💭She never wanted me to work and help her
Ria : Months Ago
💭Not just to protect me from harassment because of my beauty
Ria : Months Ago
💭But because she wanted me to focus on my dreams
Ria : Months Ago
💭So marrying a rich, respectful guy...might be her lifeboat
Ria : Months Ago
💭Maybe the only thing I can do in return for all her sacrifice
Ria : Months Ago
💭And although I've always hated rich guys-- maybe this one time... I could do it for her..*sacrifices her happiness for her mother
So, I decided to send him a message
but the second I held my phone to do it
And I paused for few seconds.....
Staring at his messages and asking myself
Ria : Months Ago
Should I text him back?...
Ria : Months Ago
Should I take this step for her?
Ria : Months Ago
I'm too afraid
Ria : Months Ago
Too worried
Ria : Months Ago
Too confused....
Ria : Months Ago
my heart pounding hard
What do you expect Ria to do?
