It is a small but clean room,in the middle of it is a table,on the table is a television.A sofa is in the corner,seated in it is she.It has already one o’clock in the dawn.On the screen of the television is just “GOODBYE”.She is still in the sofa,nobody else,just herself.He has not been home yet.Her husband,may not be back tonight,just as what he did before. She is staring at a photo of them,with a feeling beyond expression.In fact,after marriage,he has become so stange to her.Seldom is he back on time,seldom does he make any explanation or ask about her thoughts.Between them,no quarrels,no laughs,even no craziness,everything is in horrible silence. It is raining so heavily outside,some of the rain drops are knocking at the window now and then,making the window so wet.Maybe there exits a sad guy in the heaven just like her.The guy is crying so loudly and using her window as his handkerchief.But she does not need that cloth,for she has no tears now,which is the pitiest thing to a lady. She did make effort,she did try her best to talk with him,but in vain.She did not know why untill that day------ It was a sunny day,she was preparing to wash his coat.Suddenly a photo was flying out from the inner pocket of the coat.It was a photo of a lady,strange but modern,wearing a sweet smile on her face.On the back of it were some words:”Darling,I need you,kiss you!—your lover forever.”All had come to the surface.She knew all but nearly faint. She is falling into thoughts.After marriage,she has been a domestic woman,no job,but just endless housework.She cooks,he eats;she cleans,he rests;she washes,he reads.She is so naïve that she hopes to hold this so-called love in this way.SHE IS WRONG. Every woman is like a bird.Before marriage,she is free,happy and nice,singing her songs and flying here and there,she can attract man because of her freedom and joy.After marriage,woman always tends to shut herself indoors,like a bird in cage.As time goes by,she loses her beautiful appearance and voice,but what is more,she loses her freedom,she will become dull and boring with only housework.But man is a creature who is always seeking freedom and freshness.Once he finds that his woman loses what he appreciates most---freedom,independence,wisdom,joy and so on,he will leave,looking for another lady on whom he can find passion to life.It is just a strange cycle. She opens the window and feel so fresh air and so cold rain.She gets a deep breath and is shocked.She has not had the feeling for a long time.She has been missing herself so much.She has an impulse to go out,out of this cage,to the sky,to the rain and wind,to the fresh air.Why?Why can not she do this.She smiles,so nice,she nearly forgets herself,but now she is awake. She writes a letter to him: My darling, Could I call you like this?I did love you,so much that I nearly missed myself. You are a man who lets me learn so much.Even now you have betrayed me,I do not hate you.That is true.On the contrary,I should thank you.After all,you used to love me,or you could not have married me. I have decided to go,even though I do not know where to go,but I really do not want to be here any more.Perhaps I will turn to my friend or somebody else,so do not worry about me—if you still care about me. I saw the photo of that girl,it is just the reason that you do not go back,right?Be good to her,you bad guy! Now goodbye,my baby.Your milk is in the fridge cause you like cold drinking.Everything is in order,I have listed them on another piece of paper under the vase. Take good care,you lazy pig.It will not be long for you to wait for divorce with me.At that time I will let you know. Your little pig
After that,she leaves.It is still raining and cold,but she believes it will be sunny and warm tomorrow.
