Shocks happen all the time in life, and sometimes they can make everything different. My name is Jonathan, and Mary has been my wonderful wife for six years. Our sweet girl Jazmin makes our lives so much better. But I just recently learnt a secret that will completely change the way we relate to each other.
Jazmin started to dress and use makeup like her mother, which was the start of everything. What interested me, though, was that Mary never wore shoes or makeup. She always liked things to be natural and simple. I had to ask Jazmin where she got these thoughts.
I was first interested, but as the days went by, I became suspicious. I saw that Mary always left the house in the same casual clothes, which caught my attention. But Jazmin told me that when her mom dropped her off at her aunt’s house, she wore heels and makeup. I didn’t understand and was worried. What was going on?
I chose to follow Mary one morning to find out where she was going. Following her, I saw her walk into a building with a sign that said “Radiance Modelling Agency.” It broke my heart. Why did my wife come here?
I stood there for a while, trying to think about what I had seen. So, I sneaked inside to find out what was going on. I couldn’t say anything about what I saw. Mary changed completely. She put on a beautiful red dress and walked down a runway like a professional model. I was shocked.
It made me feel angry, confused, and hurt all at the same time as I watched. Why did Mary not tell me this secret? But there was something in her eyes that made me stop and think. It was weakness, fear, and a strong desire to follow her dreams.
Before I talked to Mary, I waited until the picture shoot was over. Even though she looked shocked and scared, I could tell that she had been keeping this secret out of fear, not because she wanted to hurt me. She was afraid that I would judge her and love her less because she was following her dreams.
I knew I had to make a choice at that point. I could give in to my pain and anger or protect and love my wife, even if it meant accepting a part of her I didn’t know existed. I picked the second one.
I felt a weight lift off my shoulders as we hugged. I knew that our love was strong enough to get past any secret, worry, or question. With our hands linked as we left the modelling agency, I knew that our relationship was about to start a new phase of openness, trust, and help for each other.
