Small Town Girl Story

3 years later

A lot has occurred during these 3 years, my aunt and her husband help me a lot during those times, now I am in 2nd year in college. When I first get here, I get a job and save money, like almost 1 year after I got here, I get admitted into college, I study business management/Accounting. After 6 months I get admitted into College my Aunt and her family relocate because of work, they suggest that I should follow them that they will get a transfer letter from the College but I told them that they should not worry about me that I will manage myself. After a lot of discussions, I was able to convince them.

Here am I today, I am going to school and after that, I will go to work in the afternoon and on weekend I do 2 jobs a full day with shifting times, along the line I meet my boyfriend his name is Jack Thompson, he is from Arizona and he is 28 years, he works as a Marketing Manager in one good company, he is a very caring and lovely man. I met him when I am in the first year in college like 2 months after my Aunt left, I told my Aunt and my parent about him, and sometimes he calls them and they talk. I sometimes spent the weekend in his house or pass the night at his house.

2 years later, today is my graduation day, we celebrate and everything went well. In the night my boyfriend said he has a surprise for me. He told me to come and meet him at one restaurant. As soon as I get there I enter the restaurant the decoration of the restaurant is so amazing I am thinking maybe there is some occasion or the restaurant is always like that. A waiter come to me and show me to our table but I am surprised because I did not say anything to him or say my name or who I am looking for, I get to our table, I saw my boyfriend and he pulls out a chair for me to sit, he orders food as soon as we finish our dinner, the waiter bring cake I think the cake is to celebrate my graduation but as soon as the waiter opens the cake the word written on the cake "Please will marry me" make me happy before I could face him to say something I already find him on his knee with a nice ring and said he word again and I said yes. After the proposal, he said I should move in with him and I accept. I call my Aunt and my parent and told them about the proposal and they are so happy for us. One month after the proposal we went to visit my family and I am so happy to meet them.

2 months after, I get a good job as one of the staff in the accounting department in a good company. I am so happy right now that my life is to go the way I want not knowing that my struggle or lets my battle just begin.

I am working and everything is fine until one day Jack called me that he has something to discuss with me after dinner then I said ok.

"Bella I am thinking that we should plan our wedding and I want to tell you when we get married you will have to stop working so you can take care of the house and our kids," Jack said looking serious because he knows how I love working, am thinking that why will be getting married and having kids going to disturb my work because I don’t understand

"It is good we should start planning our wedding but how will that one disturb my work," I asked

that I should stop working because it is what you want, at least give me a good reason for me

I said that is because I don’t want the work to be

said that is when I am in 3rd year in College, sometimes my school mate come to my house for homework or just to hang out. I should have suspect that he will demand more. The only best friend that I have in school and traveled out of the country

I am still at work and I am feeling tired right now, I don’t know why maybe because I have not eaten lunch but I don’t have any appetite for eating. I am cut of my thought with the ringing of

miss

about what Jack said and she

home what will I be doing all day? How will I be able to send money to my parent, it is not that they ask but at least

other things, hey babe don’t let this bother your mind because I can see that in your voice, sit him down and talk to him, I will just advise you to sort everything out before you proceed for the wedding preparation,"

reply and we said our

that it is Jack, I went out of the kitchen and greet him, he made his way to the bedroom

it that you want

I should resign from work, first how will you manage the bill alone with your salary? Second, how will I send money to my parent? Third, when we have kids, some bills will increase and we will need to buy baby stuff like diapers, baby cloth, baby food, toys, and so on.
