You know what kind of temper he has, always single-minded. In his letters, he always looked forward to finishing his military service and coming home to marry me. If I wanted a man with no ambition, why would I have pushed him to join the army?
So, I grew colder toward him, not wanting to reply to his letters. As long as he was attached to me, my mother couldn't make other plans, but who would have thought that I'd actually become a soldier myself.
You can never imagine how excited I was when I received the enlistment notice, not having to marry a man I didn't love, not being forced to be a cash cow, being able to work hard for the life I wanted. It was a dream come true, and it came so easily!
What I didn't expect was that not long after I arrived in the army, I met a man we both liked. He admired my resilience and looks; I liked his personality and the way he conducted himself.
