There are so many "what ifs" in my mind. I am not ready to be a single mother. This is making me feel anxious! I don't want my dreams to fade just because of a man.
Okay, this is the time I'll confess to my parents. I hope they will understand my situation. I was blinded by love.
.
I'm sorry for disappointing you, Mom, Dad. I am pregnant with Diego's child.
Yes, Dad. He promised that he would love me forever, but it turns out that promise was all a big lie.
Love turned me into this. I am a smart person, but Diego became the reason why I neglected my studies.
Honey, you know that we, Muslims, are very protective. You can't be pregnant! You must face the consequences for your actions.
What? Who's Diego? This is unacceptable! Our religion is conservative, and we follow certain protocols. This is a disgrace to our clan!
We need to put your dreams of being a doctor aside first. We just don't want anyone to say something bad behind your back.
We will find someone who can marry you, Dear. You will also drop out from school temporarily.
Thank you, Mom, Dad. I am ready to sacrifice my dreams for now. I need to be stronger for my child. Now, I have realized my mistakes. Love can wait, so there is no need to rush love. I will be prepared for further challenges as a teen mom.
What? How about my dreams of becoming a doctor?
Dear, we are just doing this to protect you. You need to face the consequences of your actions. We are still here to guide you. We are still your parents. Nothing will change. We will keep guiding you to the right path. Consequently, you will have to sacrifice for what you did.
