Episode 6 - Ungrateful Daughter

Last 4 years

In Singapore.

I was devastated and hurt when I retuned to Singapore. Not sure what to say to my parents especially my dad. Before I came here, I went to London, to my sister (Emilya Elizabeth Spencer). We are closed. I told her what’s happening to me. She was calm even though she knew it was wrong. But it happened and the unborn child in me is not wrong but what happen is wrong. She always care for me. She told me that she’ll be here for me whatever it takes. After two weeks in London, she said we need to go back to Singapore. My dad is asking about what has happened as the University called him that I’ve asked for a extension of my studies. I told him that I’ve a lot of things to sort out and I couldn’t concentrate on my studies with other things in my head.

“What’s more important than your studies?. You’ve been asking us to give a chance for you to further your studies in Seoul and now you telling me there was more important things that you need to sort out”. My father eyes was darkened as retorted the word to me. I do not know what to say and how to act. How can I just announced to my mum and dad that I’m pregnant. My sister mumbled beside me to just tell them ahead. I was scared at that time as I know what will happened thereafter.

I braced myself of what I was going to say next. “Mum..Dad, I’m pregnant”. They looked at me in shock. “ Then, “pang”, a slap on my cheek. My cheek felt the burn from it. My tears fall down to my cheek unchecked. My dad was furious. Mum was already crying the sofa. “Who are the bastard that doing that to you? And why are you letting this happened to you”. I stood there crying and nothing came out from my mouth. “You better aborted that child. I would never going to accept her/ him in this family”. My eyes widen at my dad words. “No..... I cant. This baby is not wrong. I was to blame. I couldn’t.... I won’t do any abortion. This is my baby and I want to carry this pregnancy”. My father looked at me like he was going to kill me. 

Then he put down the boom. “Fine... if you insisted on your decision, you can get out from my house. And your are no more my daughter. You can do whatever you want but don’t ever come back to this house again. GET OUT!!”.

I was shocked at what just happened. But I know that there was nothing anyone can see. I wept my eyes, went to my mum and hugged her as much as I can. Mum was crying. She hugged me as she don’t want to let me go but she couldn’t cross what has been said by my dad. I turned to dad to ask for his forgiveness, but with his stiff and hard face, he said to my sister, “ Get her out of here before I lost of temper”.

With that, my sister hold me and we were out from my home. 

A week after the incident, I was back in London with my sister. I’ve spent the pregnancy time at my sister’s house. She and my brother in law, Jason Winfred, took care of me during those overwhelming time for me. For the 1 trimester of the pregnancy, I had daily morning sickness. I couldn’t bear the smell of my sister cooking. At normal time I really loved her cooking. Most of the time, I’ve spent those time restlessly in bed. I would come out from my room only to eat. But my sister never nagged me over it. She even asked me to rest, not to worry about anything. Even she said, she would bear all the delivery expenses but I told her that I wanted to pay for the charges myself. I have savings. She have been taking care of me and for once I want to spent some of my own money on my unborn babies. She reluctantly agreed with that. My sister yet to have kids after 3 years of marriage, however, Jason was never thot that it as a shortcoming of their marriage. He always said that its not the time yet for God to give them kids. My sister was happy with that. But after 6 months given birth to Mady, my sister was  confirm with 4 weeks of pregnancy. Jason was the most happy person in the world. He kissed my sister and said that maybe they were blessed with the baby because they took care of me. And God had seen how my sister took care of me and my baby during the pregnancy and maternity time. I was grateful for all her love and definitely I couldn’t pay this debt until the day I die.
