Their love story

Wayback in the 1950's mama(mother in law)meet tatay(my father in law)in mama's place because of her couzin who is the girlfriend of tatay.Mama was known that time in their place because she just came home from manila,she was working there as a house maid and in province kasi ,once you came from a big cities,you became well known of your place after your glow up ,its different kasi when you are in province compare to living at the cities and had a work ,your skin will be brighter,you can wear the new trends outfit .And because mama was known at their place,many boys was courting her but she don't have a plan for it since she still 19 and she really wanted to help her family.

But tatay decided to broke up with his girlfriend who was a couzin of mama,and he started courting mama but she don't like him aside of he is the boyfriend of mama's couzin he is also 8 year older than mama,she even called tatay as manoy or kuya in other term (we called it as a sign of respect to the older boys than us).Tatay started giving gifts to mama,he even gave her rice,fish for viand ,fruits and bread .Tatay was working before as a caretaker of a rich family in our place now,he is a caretaker of a farm owned by a chinesse family .

Mama does'nt like the way tatay showed her by giving gifts ,she was thinking of having an indebtedness.

Bayle was very known at their time,it was an activity especially when the fiesta is coming for the barangay to earn money.Bayle is dance with sweet music and the boys who wanted to dance with the girls must be going to pay of how much the amount of that music ,for example the host will say "okay this music is for $1,if you wanted to dance with the girl who joined the bayle ,you can dance with that girl and paid that amount.And there was also the so called "selling flowers"they will get one girl as a flower and sell it to the boys,like bidding of whoever can paid the highest amount can dance with that flower they said.And mama was became a flower that time since she was known ,the bidding was started and tatay was trying to gave a higher amount but one boy got the highest amount and tatay was'nt able to dance with mama ,and felt mad at mama like he owned mama ,he don't want that mama will dance with another guy and said not joined again hahha.

To make the story short,tatay continue courting to mama and still giving gifts everytime he visited mama and because mama wanted to help her parents ,she decided to go back to manila for a job but tatay wanted to accompany her and he left his job at the province .They went to manila but tatay does'nt like his job coz his salary was only 15pesos,and in province his salary was 25 pesos per month ,it was a huge amount in their time .So tatay decided to back to province and bring mama but mama insisted that she will be working and not ready for a married life.The time came that mama having a vacation ,tatay was always visiting her with many gifts andshe was shocked when tatay bring some of his clothes and did a sleep over in mama's home ,so they started to living together and,she was thinking maybe one day ,she will be teaching her self to love tatay ,she does'nt love tatay ,only because of indebtedness,she was forcing her self to live with tatay without a love.

A month after they are living together,tatay's brother courted mama and told her that he is the one get first inlove to mama but he don'nt have the strength to tell mama but its too late na coz tatay and was living together.

Mama get pregnant and they married,a church wedding was happend.When they are on their first year of being married ,everything was changed,mama never expected how the attitude of tatay was changed,he always get drunk and never gave mama his salary from his work ,and because of that mama was finding some ways on how to have her own money and tried to sell everything like ,vegetables and fruits .Many things was happend on their marriage and it came to the point that mama wanted to have a break up with tatay but she was thinking their kids ,she don't want to give their kids a broken family ,so mama did everything ,sacrificed everything for their kids .She said a big regrets she had ,but she can't go back to the time,she already in that situation,all she need it to accept.And until now ,there are many times that they are fighting and tatay had his own little house now but he take his meal at my sister in laws house where mama was living.

My say

In choosing our life time partner,we must be fair ,we will not forced someone who does'nt love us,or forcing our selves to love that person ,coz in the end of day someone will be suffering.

I know that many times I was thinking bad to my mother in law because of our different ways of raising kids,many times we argued but one thing I really admire her was her uncoditionally love to her children ,even if she was suffering ,she sacrificed her self just to give her kids a complete family even if she was broken.A mother's love indeed.I admire her for being a strong woman ,a strong woman that ready to sacrificed everything without thinking her own happiness just to give a better lives of her kids.

And that's all for tonight ,thank you for your time ,stay safe and God Bless.

Good night my beautiful read cash fam❤️
