My Mama said that "It was Okay!"

First, I didn't expected that I'll be hooked, again, on watching an anime yesterday. It was entitled, "Jujutsu Kaisen". Second, my papa just suddenly asked me a favor and used my phone for our another kind of family bonding, which was a videoke session. Perhaps, he was really in a mood to do so. Lastly, I didn't expected the rain to poured out so heavily. That's the reasons why I didn't able to publish an article yesterday.

Good day my read.cash family!☺️👋 How's life in the midst of pandemic? Are you been able to make it productive as what it used to be? How's your health and financial status then? Does its still going on its peak despite our current situation? Anyways, I hoped you still find ways to be happy and like what I said, "Please do take care of yourselves!"

Let's not make this introduction any longer, you may find it boring. Lol. "What's with the title?"

For this blog, actually another story of mine in relation to the previous article I wrote and published, with the title, "I Can Decide for Myself!"

For those who haven't read it yet, here's the link; https://read.cash/@renren16/i-can-decide-for-myself-22a1afd1 .

Just feel free to click on that, but of course, I am not forcing anyone of you to do that, its just, if and only if you have the will to do so.

In that article, I talked about those people that seemed bothered about my engagement to my current boyfriend, which is MGD. They talked all about their negative thoughts about it which triggered my anger and made me felt frustrated. Its quite a disapproval, I think, but what frustrated me was they talked about it behind my back. They just kept on bothering my mama about. And what's worst, was these people I talked about was really close to me, actually they are my family.

For you to be able to understand a bit more about it, let me share to you some flashback story on how this "engagement thing" became the hot-contested issue.

STORY TIME!!!

Flashback...

MGD proposed to me during my 23rd Birthday Celebration last October 04, 2021. Right after that, I informed my mama about the said proposal. The next day, she kept on asking me about it. As for my papa, he was drunk at that time, but maybe he was informed by my mama the following day then. So, as it being decided, my mama didn't have any choice but to accept it. Lol. Seriously, I was a bit worried about what my papa will say, but fortunately, he still didn't confront me about it. As what my mama said, she was the one, which my papa being talked to.

I didn't bother myself on posting it in social media because I knew that it will triggered the "Mga Marites" out there. Last October 23, 2021, I attended the Confirmation Rites together with my cousin, and the following they, I made a photo as my temporary DP. And I then decided to change my cover photo using the picture of the ring which was given to me during the proposal. Actually, I asked MGD's permission before I posted it on facebook. I didn't expected that it will gained a lot of comments or reactions because I used to have small counts of likes or hearts in my previous cover photos.

Fast Forward...

I had a cousin who celebrated his birthday. And it was being practiced that everytime a family member will celebrate his or her birthday, we will have a small gathering as to his or her kind of celebration. We had our dinner in their house at that time. After eating, I chose not to join them on doing their chitchat session, ("Chismisan") and went into my cousin's room, just scrolling to my cellphone. The next day, my mama shared to me what they have talked about that night. She said that, my Aunts seems bothered and quite disapproved our engagement. That they kept on asking her, why she didn't talk to me, advice me to do this and that first, and anything, all negative thoughts about it.

Two days after that, my Tito celebrated his birthday. So, we then have another family gathering at that time. After the dinner, I sent my pet "Iking" home, because he was uncomfortable with many dogs and he also had a fight with a cat. Haha.XD. Like what my mama said, they talked again, about my engagement. "Duh! Ka-stress ba!" I went back in there, and still they talked about it. Some of them were a friends of ours. Some shown their disapproval, some of them approved it and my mama rescued me out the pit.

The next day, I had a heart-to-heart talk with my mama. ("Charriiisabble!"XD) I mean, we had a serious talk about the issue. She said that,

"As for me and your papa, we will not disagree your decisions anymore."

"You are old enough to think about it, and decide for yourself."

"It is okay!"

"We didn't obliged you to support us, your papa and I, in our needs because we can still work for it."

"We didn't sent you to school, for you to pay us back for what we have given to you, most of all about your financial needs during that time."

"We are happy enough to see that you are then been able to finished your studies. Even though, you don't have a stable job just yet, we knew that you can now support for yourself. That MGD, will help you out. That if ever, you will decided to really get married, you can survive even without our help."

(Shed Tears...T_T... "I am not like what you think I am mama. I also looked out for you. Both you and papa are so precious to me. I am not numb to think of neglecting your sacrifices for me.")

She added;

"Don't mind those negative opinions and thoughts being thrown at you."

"Focus on how you are going to achieve what you want."

She laugh a bit when she think about my Aunts and other people had talked about me. And then she said,

"Wala nga'ng imik yung papa mo, ang dami nilang kuda."

"Di man lang inisip yung mga ginawa din nila dati."

"Tas hindi din nila inisip na may anak silang babae."

"Mga tao nga naman." (We just laugh, but actually, I felt in my heart din naman that my mama was bothered too. I am not manhid nga kasi. ^_^)

________________________________________________

I am very happy to know that even though I was thrown out with lots of disagreements, I still have a reason to fight back. What matters to me right now was that, I have my mama and papa behind my back even in this kind of situation. ("Papa, ano na? Hehe...Mag-uusap na din ba tayo?")

("MGD, galaw-galaw na. XD") My mama said,

"Before you go on further, MGD should talk to us first."

"We want to know about his side, his sincerity to you, and see to it that he really is sincere on this matter."

"We don't want you to have a broken family in the future."

Baka daw kasi mambabae...Ang Nega mo Mother. But, I knew what you meant by that. (Secret nalang kasi yun. XD)
