[Tears]
"Wake up Bryan, someone is at the door." Mother was shouting away at the kitchen. "Yawn, Yawn. Yes mother, I’ll open the door in a minute time." I replied to her. Ding Dong, Ding Dong. “Yes, coming right away." irritated by doorbell. Wow, a pretty lady, must be on my best behavior. “It took you long enough to open the door, I was waiting for…" she continue on and on for a few minutes. She was one pretty but also a person who loves to nag a lot. I invited her in and we chatted along. Then my mother has to interrupt, "son, help me in the kitchen, there are many things to prepare." So this pretty lady is actually my girlfriend, she is from Hong Kong and it is the holiday season, so she came over and visits me. We usually contact each another through internet or phone and our relationship remained the same for one year.

"Dinner is ready, come over and eat." Mother announces it to us. This is the first time she met my mother due to the fact that she lives in Hong Kong. The purpose of the meet is to discuss about our marriage. "So, when are you all going to get married, on which day?" Mother starts with the ice breaker. So, we continue with dinner and the discussion was very successful.

In a blink of eye, we were married together for two years. And so coincident, it was our anniversary. I have prepared a lot of surprises for her. Waiting patiently at home for her, she calls home and tells me that she is very busy so she may come back very late. Many thoughts were running through my mind. Has she forgotten that today is the big day, how could she just give me such an excuse? I decided to spend this big occasion with my daughter who was staying with my mother. We sat at the sofa at the night and I played the video tape on our married day for her to see. She was exhilarated, she was laughing away. But for me, tears were rolling down my cheeks, tears of joy. This tape lets me remember how happy I was during the marriage. But even though I was happy, my mind just cannot help but think that our marriage is on the rocks.

After that day, we quarreled over many petty problems until we could stand each another. We decided to have a cold war but to put it nicely is to let both of us cool down. We did not talk to each another at all. One day, she look me up at my office and brought a brown envelop with her. She slammed the document on my table and say that she wants a divorce. She cannot stand a petty man like me and she informs me that the daughter is following her and if I want the custody, then we shall meet each other at court.

I was taken aback at what she said. I could not believe it, I suddenly just cannot control my body and most importantly, tears again was rolling down my cheeks. Not tears of joy but tears of disappointment. I just did not know that she was such an unreasonable woman. “She couldn’t have changed so fast there must be a reason.” this thought was going through my mind. I hired a PI to check for me her traces. After one month, the PI responded and showed me all her photos. I was buried my fire. I ran out and look for her. Not to my amazement, she was sitting at the café. I confronted and her and suddenly, this guy from the back shouted at me. "So he is the reason you want a divorce." I shouted at her. "Yes, you are a stupid fool. I was with him even before I got married with you. It is just that you did not discover it." She argued with me. My hands just waved over her face. I gave her a slap. "Tears were also rolling down her cheeks, her eyes turned red and she scolded, "Ok, after this slap, we are quits. Please sign the divorce papers." pretending to be strong. I went home after that, reflecting on what I did what right or wrong. I feel so stupid not to discover her change. My eyes began to turn red and I was about to cry soon. How could I cry so many times in one week? I just never felt like this before. She must be with her lover together, smirking everyday about how foolish I am to be with her.

The day after, my pay was in so I went to the bank to withdraw money. To my horror, my bank account was left with $200. That evil woman must be the one who cheated away all my money. I just cannot believe again that I did not think about the fact that she was with me is to cheat my money. I call her, but she did not answer my calls. After trying for 1hour but still to no avail, I decided to give up and woke up for my wonderland. I hope that all these will not happen but what has happen has happen. The first problem to solve is my daughter. I cannot let her follow my ex-wife. I resigned from my job so that I can put all my focus on wining my daughter’s custody.

Luckily, heaven did not give up on me. I finally win the lawsuit and her dirty act was exposed. It all happened when we were fighting for the custody and she accidentally spur out that she took away all the money in the bank for our daughter. And after rounds of investigation, it was found out that she was involved in many series of cheating.

After all this, it was not a disheartening matter. It was a very good lesson. I learned that the good will be repaid and the evil will get their desserts. The most important thing I learn is about tears. Tears follow us even when we are happy and even if we are sad. I will never forget how happy was my daughter when she was following back home and she was so joyful till she shed tears and seeing her, I believe what I have done is right. So tears are something we express to let people know our feelings. Even males have feelings so even if they cry is no different to the females. So the next time males cry, please do not laugh at them or it will be the same as laughing at yourself of not having feelings.
