Pregnant

Last day was full of loneliness. Boredom was killing me. I had many things to do but I had decided to stay on my room. I always do this when I feel boring. I think of my future and my plans for family. I want to finish my study with flying colors and land on a good job. I will buy things that I want.

When the night was came. I watched television. I don’t felt any happiness or joy on that night. I went to the computer shop to make myself busy and a little bit happy. On my way to the internet café I saw a pregnant beggar. That time something made me cried. I could felt the tears falling down on my face. I thought she was not on her mind I mean that the beggar was crazy. She was talking on her baby while holding her tummy. I played Farmville but I cannot concentrate with it because the pregnant beggar was still on my mind.

After an hour I went home and for the second time around I saw again the pregnant beggar sleeping on the side walk. She doesn’t even mind the coldness of the night that might be dangerous to the health of the baby on her womb. I bought water and biscuit for the pregnant. I gave it to her and she said “salamat”. When I turned back and walk away I almost cry again. I realized that the pregnant beggar was on her mind.

In writing this experience, I’m just thinking if what kind of and Christmas that the pregnant beggar will have. What kind of life does the baby will have? I hope every Filipino will help each other whether it’s a small or big thing. For those wealthy and privilege family I think you should share your blessing for those who are unfortunate like the pregnant sleeping on the sidewalk.
