Unforeseen Handsel

“Congratulations Sheena! You’re now a mommy”. It was actually said to me and to my mama by an ob-gynecologist, I was then lying in that clinical bed having a consultation because of some physical changes they made noticed. I sighed that was one of unforgettable moment in my 20 years of existence. Due to my surprise, I didn’t know what to feel. First, it’s because it was an unexpected pregnancy, secondly, I was too young to have a child. Lastly, I’m still studying at PLMar then. My parents including my Lola and my older brother, expect me to finish my study without any problems because I managed my basic education with academic excellence. And during my highschool years, I make them proud by presenting my certificates that noted me as a good student in school especially in social studies subjects. But because of my impetuosity, they forget those achievements. I dismayed them all, especially my Mama and my Papa. There comes a time that I haven’t recognized as if I wasn’t existing. But my Lola was there to make me strong by telling me some courageous words, though she managed to hide her rancor.

               

         She seriously told me and to the father of my child, that since we now have a child. We should automatically prepare ourselves, to be matured enough to face some circumstances on parenthood, though were too young and too afraid to experience those. Actually, it was a very, very hard task for both of us, why? Simply because we didn't imagine that we will become parents. We live our lives only for ourselves; we wake up each morning for our own sake. Can you imagine that? Those things will be vanish because of that inabstinence. And As a woman, take note, a pregnant woman, I was still surprise that I will carry a life inside my womb. Hard isn't it? But thanks for the people around us, to my parents, to my Lola, to my in-laws and for all of them who helps us. Every time I got chance I always thanked them for what they have done, not just for me, but for us, three. I will never forget those goodness. They still give unconditional love onto us, though I and my boyfriend did a mistake.

                I’m so thankful to God that He blessed me with those people. All of them act as a guide: if we need to correct misdeeds, a teacher: if we have to know something about being a parent that we still didn't know, and to those things we need to know, a counselor: if we do have some sort of misunderstanding when it comes on running a family relation. From my viewing lenses, this life-changing event of mine was filled with excitement, struggles, conflicts and happiness.
