My friend Diana has long longed for a child. Married close to 20 years, she tried everything. The gynae, traditional methods, year in, year out, still in vain.
Turning forty on November 4th, she threw a big party. A milestone in her life she said. Balloons everywhere.
She has a good marriage, a long standing career at A&W and a nice house that she loves to decorate.
She resigns to the fact that if she still cannot conceive since her biological clock is running out of time, she would accepts her lot with an open heart.
Until Allah gave her her 40th birthday gift. Surprisingly and unsuspectingly and finally, Diana found herself pregnant. Mimi and I could only shout.
Only that, her womb is weak and some complication has occurred. She was instructed by the doctor to rest and not to do anything vigorous.
She said Allah heard her prayers to have a child like everyone else. I controlled my tears. Knowing how hard she tried to conceive, I told her that we will all pray for the baby to survive. I pray that the baby is a survivor, like its Mommy, Diana. Ya Allah, selamatkan lah dan sihatkan lah baby Na yang sekian lama kami semua nanti-nantikan. Ameen.
