My only dream was simple — to help my family, save money for a small shop, and find a peaceful life. So when I was accepted as a housekeeper by a wealthy family in Taguig, I was very grateful. I was treated well, especially by Ma’am Linda who treated me like a mother.
What I didn't expect was Kevin, Ma'am's son. He was kind, always smiling, and often talked to me whenever he came home from work. At first, I thought it was normal — just kindness. But as time went on, I felt something different. Simple looks and smiles became special. Until he admitted… he liked me.
And that's where it all started. We would meet secretly outside, watch movies or just have coffee. I ignored my feelings for a while, but it was too late when I realized that I loved him too. Until one night, we gave in to those feelings. And just a few weeks later, I found out I was pregnant.
I was nervous. I didn't know how to tell Ma'am Linda. To be honest, I was very scared. But Kevin, he didn't hesitate. He said he would stand by me and the child. He also told me that I was not alone. I wanted to believe it right away, but I knew that everything wouldn't be easy.
When we confessed to Ma’am, I will never forget her reaction. She was quiet at first, but later, she cried. She said she didn’t expect this, especially from someone like me. But in the end, I saw the understanding in her eyes. It was difficult for her, but she chose to accept the situation.
Now, Kevin and I have a baby. We are not married yet, but we are a complete family. Even though this was not my plan back then, I am happy that I accepted the love that came. Our story is not perfect, but it is true and full of hope. I am happy that Kevin saw my worth even though we are not equal in life.
Sometimes, life is really full of surprises. I never thought that my simple job would lead to a story of love and family. And even though there were challenges, we chose to fight. Because in the end, what matters is love and the new life that came to us.
