Let's Get Married

Thomas' words hit her like rocks. She thought although she was not a perfect sister, she could at least score 8 out of 10. She is surprised to know that is how he thinks of her.

He is right. She has been repressing her emotions every day. It was painful at first. But over time, she can't remember what freedom feels like. Therefore, she can't tell if she is free. She is accustomed to running around the hospital and workplaces every day. She has forgotten she used to be the president of the student union. She has forgotten the ambition she wrote down in her sophomore year. After leaving school for two years, she has lost hope for life. For a girl like her who comes from a poor family and has no connections, only knowledge can change her fate, but she has lost that last straw.

For this family, she has given up her college life. She has tried to numb herself, but Thomas, who is a bystander, sees everything.

"Sister, I know you've been doing this for me and Mom. I've thought about it. When I have more free time next semester, I'll work part-time. This way, I can share your burden. I don't want to see you sacrifice yourself for me."

Eunice chuckles and says, "Thomas, I'm not a good example. You're right."

She feels she was ridiculous when she lectured Thomas. Her life is colorless, and her mind is slave to all kinds of stereotypes that she sets up herself. Now, she wants Thomas to fall under them, too.

"I'm ridiculous."

"Sister, don't say that!" Thomas says emotionally, "If it weren't for you, this family would have been finished long ago. I just love you and want to tell you that I'm not what you think. I will be responsible for what I do, but I want you to be bolder and not so depressed."

"I understand," Eunice stands up from the sofa and says, "I am tired. I should take a rest."
