Behind her smile
Introduction
Her smile complimented with her beautiful stunning face, outside her life reflected a woman to admire for her achievement.She had a good career, beautiful children and a solid family.
Behind her smile is a story of a broken woman who had undergone so much turmoil growing up, getting married at a very tender age, struggled between building her career, family and raising her children.
Behind her smile are tears and pain which she chose to turn into art.
Part 1... Young Mother.
After filling an informed consent,I handed the piece of paper to the nurse sitting next to me and walked slowly to the operating table.I had had labor pains for more than twelve hours and the gynaecologist had made a decision for surgery due to poor progress of labor.All I wanted was to have the baby born to ease the overwhelming pain I was going through.
All this time I was praying silently for the surgery to be successful and my baby to be okay,I wanted to ask so many questions to the theater team but I didn't like the way they were referring to me as a young mother so I decided to be quiet to avoid being a nag.
The cry and the image of my little boy send shivers over my wrecked body,he was so tiny and I forget my pain and treasured and celebrated that moment.This was a dream come true and my face gleamed in excitement.I forgot about the surgery and just like any mother, my son was now my responsibility.
Aim was in the jungle, He was in a war and I just prayed silently that one day he will come and hold our gift.My apartment was small, nurses had been very helpful with my son back in the hospital, and now I was all alone just has I had been called before in the hospital,I was a young mother with no experience but I carried out with the grace of a woman.
My son was growing up so fast, his life actually became my journey too,I was learning everyday from him.I became soo responsible and even thrilled in my career and got a promotion.something that helped me settle all my bills with
less struggle.
