Motherhood Statement นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Wilfred ako na ang kakausap! Iniwan sila ng ama kaya nakalapit siya sa mommy. "Masakit ba?" "Okay lang ako Ma, kumusta?" "Okay naman, malapit na siguro." "Mommy!" "Anak we need to accept that, we need to let go. Alam niyang hindi lang sa sitwasyon ng babae ang tinutukoy nito kundi maging ang pinagdadaanan niya at tama ang ama dahil naging makasarili siya.

' I just sigh and show Mama Mosang a bright smile. You're probably wondering who Mama Mosang is? Well she's my mama "I wish" but unfortunately she is not, she's our manager. Mama Mosang is nice, too nice actually she always takes care of us and treats us like her own kids. I heard she has her own kids but they're mad at her, "want to know why?" well that's because of our wonderful job, it's sad isn't it? because "how can you be mad at someone who carried you for nine freaking months? How can you be mad at someone who feeds you, takes care of you, and clothes you?" I guess we never know a person’s struggle without looking closely at them.

Pero hindi pa rin napigilan noon ang unti- unting pamumuo ng galit ko sa kanya. Being a mother is not all about sending gifts and presents. Being a mother is being a mother itself. Hindi kailangan ng kahit ano, gaano man kalaki ang halaga, para maging ganap na ina. Ang presensiya at pagmamahal lang ay sobra na. Pero kahit ganoon ay naisip kong bigyan pa rin siya ng pagkakataon. Nangako kasi siya na babalik siya. So I waited and sit still patiently.

It was comforting na hindi ako nape-pressure. "Ma naman," napasapo na lang ako ng noo ko, memories of Mama catching hints of young me dating, "hindi na ako bata." "Alam ko, pero habang-buhay kitang baby. Kahit na may anak ka pa.” I nodded. Completely getting what she means. Noon, hindi ko pa iyon maintindihan and thought that such sentiments were cheesy and old-fashioned but it's meant to be like that. Being a parent is forever. Whatever my child will choose in his life, I'll always be someone he can come back to. I'll always be Jeremy's mother.

He looked at me. "No, don't say that." He caressed my tummy. "When this one is born, I will not be the only one who will prove to you that you are relevant in this world, Jothea. You are not a mistake. You would be the mother of men who would be the line of gentlemen who respect and treat women just like I treat you. If our parents failed to be parents to us, then at least we shouldn't be like them, right?"

She gracefully navigated single motherhood, embodying purity. Two remarkable women occupied special places in my heart – my mother and Celeste. Their resilience as single mothers, facing the challenges of parenthood head-on, shaped the person I am today. The sacrifices they made, from the dangers of childbirth to the daily struggles of parenting, were nothing short of awe-inspiring.

I must say that, you need a lot of patience to survive each day of being a mother. Pero sa lahat ng pagod, puyat o ano pa mang sakripisyo ay hindi naman matatawaran ang sayang dala n'ya sa aming lahat. My baby is growing too fast! Sana ay wala akong mapag-iwanan sa paglaki n'ya. Gusto kong ako ang unang maka-saksi sa lahat ng mga bagay na magagawa n'ya. Mula sa monthly miles stone n'ya. Pagdapa, paggapang, paglalakad at pagsasalita. Hanggang sa lumaki s'ya at maging sa mga future achievements na makukuha n'ya.

They give your life a new meaning, a new purpose, a new foundation to be strong. So yes, you lose parts of yourself when you become a mother... but you also discover a deeper kind of love and strength you never knew you had. "Sorry I was late, did you wait long here? There was a near accident that's why." Napagawi agad ang tingin ko sa kanya bago pa man ako makasagot. Hindi ko namalayan na dumating na pala siya—sobrang lalim ng iniisip ko kanina na parang lumutang ako saglit sa sarili kong mundo.

Marahan siyang tumango at inayos ang sarili. Tumingin ako sa kambal at bahagya akong ngumiti sa kanila. Mahal na mahal ko ang mga anak ko, na kahit nasaktan ako sa ginawa ng ama nila sa akin hindi ko pa rin kayang ipagdamot ang kaligayahan makilala at makasama nila ito. Maybe that's what motherhood thought me, to be matured. Kakayanin kong isantabi kong anuman ang issue namin dalawa para sa mga bata. My kids happiness is my happiness too, yun ang mahalaga.

I'm still not sure how to reassure them that they will not feel too much hurt and disappointment. "And don't worry about what other people think about you and your pregnancy. You are a beautiful, successful, and wealthy woman who is capable of handling motherhood effortlessly. Besides, those mosang aren't going to provide for my future inaanak's basic needs or fulfill your parental duties. Their words are useless, from poop to puke."
