Sacrifice of a mother
I feel like a ticking time bomb. This is what it really looks like having a high-risk, possibly life-threatening pregnancy in the middle of Covid-19 pandemic. I sit and wait for the maternal fetal specialist to call me in for testing and consultation. I have been waiting for over a month now. I put a smile on my face for my family so they can forget about the hardships during the holiday season. I smiled and opened gifts with them. We even opened a gift for Baby M, but during all of this all I could think of “what if we don’t make it”? The sad reality is our baby might not be here next year to open gifts. I might not be the same person next year. I guess I am a bit of a pessimist, because I always look at the worst possible outcomes. I want to prepare myself for what could happen, while still trusting the medical system: doctors and nurses. I know they will do their best to help us.

Eva was a young girl in her 20s who was nor outstandingly beautiful nor ugly. She was just an average girl with an average life in an average city. One day, as she was leaving her boring office job, as she came to call it, she decided to walk home instead of taking the train. She was longing for a better life; perhaps, she was longing for a more adventures existence and for someone whom she could discover the world with. In her mind, her life was boring. Maybe her spontaneous decision to walk home will be the key for a new life; a life that she has been imagining and dreaming of for a while now. Eva always fantasised about discovering something like people do in telenovelas.
