I am not A Virgin Anymore

I am Amanda. I have no siblings. I am the only daughter my parents have. Many people looked down on me because I haven’t got married yet. Many women got married at a young age. It’s too late for women to get married after 25 years old. Women usually get married when they are 18 years old. Even some women get married at 16 years old.

I am a career woman. I have been working for more than 5 years. I am 27 years old now, it’s considered too late to get married. My parents never give, keep trying to find a man for me. Almost every day they asked me to get married soon. But, I’m afraid no men would accept me because I am not a virgin anymore. Almost all unmarried men don’t want to marry women who were not virgins. But, it doesn’t mean all men never sleep with women before marriage.

It was four years ago a young man fell in love with me. I loved him too. I liked him. But, one day he asked me to sleep together. It was forbidden in my culture. I refused it. “So, you don’t love me?!” He forced me to prove my love by sleeping with him. I didn’t want him to leave me. I loved him so much, then I did it. He got everything.

However, after six months, I saw him hung out with an old woman. I didn’t think that woman was his new girlfriend. I thought she was his uncle. But, another day, I saw him rounded his arm on her neck and their faces were very closed. It was strange. I was so curious. I approached them. I was so sure that was the reason he didn’t keep in touch with me anymore.

The woman was shocked and asked him about me. He kissed her in front of me. I left them and cried. I never thought before. After all, I thought there was no true love on this planet. I thought all men were like him. But, gradually, I changed. I should live on my life and make it better.

"Would you be a single forever?" he asked me.

"Maybe... one day..."

Herman was my colleague. He was a good man. I knew him well. He told me many times that he really loved me. But, I am sure he didn't want to marry me if he knew that I am not a virgin. Last month Herman gave me an invitation letter. He married a widow.
