    Sonya voiced out, “Your thoughts put me at ease Nowadays, women are bing more and more


    independent. They are exposed to a greater variety of experiences, and there is also a growing number


    of people choosing not to marry or have children. I’ve started to think that we should respect


    everyone’s choices, whether they choose to marry or not.”


    To which Abigail replied, “Mom, justst week you were on the phone nagging me to hurry up and get


    married and have kids. But now you’re saying whether I get married or not doesn’t matter, so which


    one am I supposed to listen to?”


    Sonya responded with a smile, “Well, I’m thinking from both angles. On one hand, I hope you guys can


    settle down and start a family soon. On the other hand, I’m. worried that marnage will tie you down and


    hinder your career, causing you to miss out on the wider world”


    Abigail reassured her, “Don’t worry, mom. Even if Nelly and I get married and have kids, we’ll continue


    to work and not be housewives. We still have dreams to


    pursue


    Cornelia chimed in, “You might not know this. Our studio is doing better and better. With a little more


    effort, we’ll be able to pay off the mortgage.”


    As the conversation turned to their new house, Cornelia thought of the room she had specially


    renovated for her grandmother, who sadly, could no longer move in. The lights were off, so no one


    noticed her feelings.


    Sonya and Tanisha were also happy to hear that the studio was doing well, “You chose this industry


    right after graduation. After all these years of hard work, it’s finally paying off.”


    Abigail suggested, “Why don’t you alle to Riverton for Christmas this year? It’s not as cold as


    Rosenberg in the winter.”


    Both mothers agreed, “Sure, just don’t get sick of us by then”


    Cornelia joked, “Not a chance. We’ll take you to try the local delicacies in Riverton.”


    Sonya said joyfully. “Sounds great.”


    Tanisha then shifted the topic, “I haven’t finished. Once you’re married, you must have your own job.


    Only when you can earn your own money can you have a say. Don’t be blinded by so–called love. Most


    men in this world are the same, and they don’t keep their promises. There are good men, but they’re


    few and far between.”


    Abigail responded, “But I think Roy treats you really well.”


    Tanisha replied, “You only see what’s on the surface, and the reality of the marriage is only clear to


    those involved.”


    Sonya added, “Yes, you definitely don’t want to end up like that poor woman from block six.”


    Both Cornelia and Abigail remembered the woman Sonya was referring to. When they were about 18,


    the womanmitted suicide by jumping into the river with her three–year–old and one–year–old kids.


    The catalyst was an argument she had with her husband about asking money for groceries.


    Her husband tossed her some coins, while using her of only eating and doing nothing to contribute


    to the household. She was alone taking care of two young kids, one three and one less than a year old.


    Anyone who’d been through it knew how tough it was.


    Besides taking care of the kids, she also had to buy groceries, cook, and do housework. All these tasks


    were already exhausting, and on top of that, her husband gave her money while using her of doing


    nothing.


    The pressures of life left her breathless, and the only person she could rely on had be so cold and


    heartless. It was the straw that broke the camel’s back, and she ended up killing herself and her two


    daughters.

    The woman used to have a good job, but after getting married, she was pressured by both her family


    and her husband’s family to have kids. She had two daughters in session, and her family still


    wanted her to have a son.
