Alive At The Womb
by: Genesis A. Canoy
It was mid of June when the couples Aya and Geb finally exchanged their bows. They were lovers since college in the school they both attended. After eight long years they decided to get married, It was true love circulates in their relationship, undeniably no one could ever break their love to each other, its like a synergy, both of them combined together which has resulted to perfect and a firm relationship. But life is not always on top. Its like a wheel, sometimes you stays on top, unfortunately you turn to the bottom. In a relationship there is ups and downs, there are challenges that are so mean which will really test the perseverance of the couple.
Aya and Geb were so excited to have a baby, but God did not immediately provide to them. They are longing and very eager to cradle their own baby, they've waited for ten long years. Finally! The time came Aya got pregnant. Its unexplainable how happy they were, its like a very big blessing came into their lives. Hence, everyday they went to an Obgyne to have Aya's daily check-up. They went to malls for shopping and bought clothes for baby boy and a baby girl. But the truth is that they don’t know yet whether their baby is a boy or a girl, that shows how excited they were. The doctor finally knew, its a girl! They've unanimously made the name of their baby
“Genelyn is the name”.
Amazingly that’s what they wist to have, a baby girl. God is really good to them!
On her 7th month of pregnancy. A very big challenge had tested their strength and faith to God. The doctor detected something, there is a conflict on her pregnancy, not just a mild one but its too serious to handle and accept. He summoned Aya and Geb to have a private conversation about them. He is very sad to inform to the couple the bad news. The doctor persist and he said it in vagueness, he said
“if Aya continue to deliver the baby, there's a possibility she will die”.
The was stumbled to what they heard, they think the world is playing games with them. But its now a playful game at all. Apparently they are carrying the world and carried all the weight. A weight that measured how strong they are.
They cant accept the fact, they questioned God, why did God gave such a devastating problem. For somehow, they even think that God is not existing at all. But God has a purpose to everything happens to us. But sad to think, Aya and Geb decided to deliver the baby. She will sacrifice herself for the live of baby Genelyn, even if death is the equivalent.
The time came Aya was rushed to the hospital because she's about to deliver the baby, Geb and Aya felt mixed of emotions, they both felt paranoid, like unseen fears, yet they don't know how to deal with it. Geb did not leave Aya alone, he stayed along by her side.
Just about in time Genelyn was normally delivered, Aya died. The last words Geb heard from Aya was
“Promise me Geb that you will take good care and love Genelyn as much the way you care and loved me”
Geb was sobbing and answered
“yes, I will Aya, I love you so much”
Aya showed how much she loved Geb and Genelyn, Aya took her chances and forget whatever the consequence, she dive right in with no regrets. Inevitably there is
“life and death”.
Don't be afraid! This is just your call to arms, so take in all your desire, don't hold back. And the most important of all don’t lose hope and instead increase your faith to God. God has planned everything that happens to us, He wants us to hold His hands and never detach. There's no point to keep your head face down when all we see and know and feel is temporary, spread your arms and keep your head held high because the good thing are better taken in the less you notice. If you are in the state of sorrow and agony, just trust God. Hold back the tears there's little reprieve, if you show you are weak you're accepting defeat. In the eye of our mighty savior
“we are always a winner”.
Pick up the pieces and dust yourself off and banner away!
