AGAINST ALL ODDS

Hi! I'm Jade Nueva, 24F with two kids. I just wanna share the story of me and partner, kung paano nagsimula ang lahat sa amin. I was 19 years old when I met the father of my kids now. Niligawan nya ako. Sinagot ko sya. But the thing is, I have a very strict parents. I am already working at that time since I stopped studying nursing because of financial issues. My parents are very strict about me having boyfriend. Yes, I am not allowed to have one but I don't know what pushed me na sumuway sa mga magulang ko. Maybe, love? I gave all the love to my boyfriend since he is my first boyfriend ever. Same goes to him, I receive all his love too. He even understands me not letting him go to our house and introduce himself. Sobrang natatakot ako na ipahiwalay ako ng parents ko sa kanya. Until one day, hindi namin inaasahan na may mabuo sa aming pagmamahalan. Yes, I got pregnant. Buong tapang syang humarap sa pamilya ko para panindigan ako. Pero hindi 'yon ang gustong mangyari ng parents ko. Gusto nila na ipalaglag ko ang bata, maghiwalay kami at magpanggap na parang walang nangyari sa amin. But, he's strong enough to fight for us. Tinakas nya ko. Inuwi nya ako sa bahay nila, I met his family and they comfort me so much. I'm glad that his parents understand our situation and accept what decision we made. They supported us and guide us sa mga magiging desisyon pa namin sa binubuo naming pamilya. I thought everything was going to be okay. Everything is fine, we were happy together and enjoying my pregnancy as first time parents. Not until, malaman namin na against din sa amin ang mga kapatid ng partner ko, especially my sister-in-laws. I have four sister-in-laws by the way. They want us to broke up. My parents-in-law have nothing against us, its just my sister-in-laws. They said that they don't like me for their brother. My partner is the youngest and he is 23 years old at that time. Pilit nila kaming gusto paghiwalayin. Umabot din sa point na muntik na akong sumuko sa relasyon namin. Pero matibay sya. Ibinukod nya ako. Nilayo nya ako sa pamilya nya at pamilya ko. Sobrang hirap pero sobrang worth it. Ang swerte ko na may paninindigang lalaki ang napili kong maging ama ng mga anak ko. Sa ngayon, happy na kami sa buhay namin at hindi na namin pa pinilit na tanggapin ng mga tao ang relasyon namin. We just let things go. What matters to us is we are together, and getting stronger day by day. Thank you for reading! This might sound unreal but, its real and its true to life story. ------ Jade
