Born

'How long have I been here?' Roro thought. She felt a gentle warmth and a rhythmic heartbeat around her. She was floating in a dark and cozy space, surrounded by a soft cushion of fluid. She knew she was in a womb, but not her own. She was in the womb of her new mother, the woman who would give birth to her in this life.

Roro remembered everything from her previous life. She remembered her name, her family, her friends, her hobbies, her dreams, her achievements, and her failures. She remembered how she died in a car accident, on her way to her house. She remembered the pain, the fear, the regret, and the shock. She remembered the moment when she saw a bright light and heard a voice saying 'You have been given a second chance. You will be reborn as a baby girl. You will retain all your memories and skills from your previous life. You will have the opportunity to change everything in your new life. Use it wisely.'

Roro was stunned by the voice and the message. She didn't know who or what it was, or why it chose her. She didn't know if it was a god, an angel, a demon, or something else. She didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse. She didn't know what to expect from her new life.

She had so many questions, but no answers. She had so many hopes, but also fears. She had so many plans, but also doubts.

She wondered who her new parents were, where they lived, what they did, how they met, and how they felt about having a baby. She wondered if they would love her, accept her, support her, and protect her. She wondered if she would love them back, respect them, trust them, and obey them.

She wondered who she would be in this life, what she would look like, what she would sound like, what she would act like, and what she would think like. She wondered if she would be happy, healthy, smart, beautiful, talented, and successful. She wondered if she would make friends, find love, pursue passions, achieve goals, and fulfill dreams.

She wondered how different this world was from the one she left behind. She wondered if there were any major changes in history, culture, technology, politics, religion, or society. She wondered if there were any familiar faces or places that she could recognize or relate to.

She wondered how she could use her memories and skills from her previous life to improve her new life. She wondered if she could avoid the mistakes she made before and make better choices this time. She wondered if she could change the fate of herself and others for the better.

She wondered how long she had been in the womb and how long she had to wait until she was born. She wondered what kind of birth she would have and how painful it would be. She wondered what kind of world she would see and how ready she was to face it.

She wondered so much that sometimes she forgot that she was still a fetus.

But then something would remind her of her reality.

Sometimes it was a kick or a punch from inside that made her feel alive and active.

Sometimes it was a hiccup or a yawn that made her feel sleepy and bored.

Sometimes it was a hunger or a thirst that made her feel needy and dependent.

Sometimes it was a sound or a touch that made her feel curious and excited.

Sometimes it was a movement or a contraction that made her feel nervous and anxious.

Sometimes it was nothing at all that made her feel lonely and scared.

Roro experienced all these sensations and emotions in the womb. They were part of the wonders and challenges of pregnancy and birth. They were part of the process of growing and developing as a human being.

<Aah....aah...huft....huft...Aah!>, came the sound of pain coming from outside, which was the voice of Roro's mother who had been carrying her.

On the way to birth, Roro undergoes a series of changes to face the new world that awaits her. This preparation process involves Roro's changing position, lowering her head to be ready to launch into the outside world. She also feels the contractions of her uterus getting more intense, signalling that the time for birth has come.

<Aah...Aah!>, the woman screamed louder and louder with each passing moment.

Roro who was currently in the womb could only hear every scream and the sound of a racing heart coming from the woman who would become his mother when she was born.

In the tense darkness, Roro felt the vibrations of tension that flashed around her. Every scream that came out of her mother's mouth pierced the peace of the night, sending waves of worry through Roro's heart. She could feel the strength and determination emanating from her mother in an attempt to bring her into the new world.

The sound of her mother's cries and sighs became a tragic symphony-like chant that filled the dark room. Roro felt her heart torn apart, saddened and fearful of the suffering her mother had endured to give birth to her. She sent prayers in the silence of the womb, hoping that her mother would be able to pass through this struggle with great strength.

As each of her mother's movements grew harder and more intense, Roro felt as if they were both in a battle of life and death. She could feel the tension in her mother's muscles, the tremors of discomfort, and the scent of sweat filling the air. Roro became a silent witness to the incredible struggle her mother went through to bring her into this world.

In the darkness and uncertainty, Roro thought of all the possibilities that might happen. She prayed that her mother would be given strength and safety, so that she could meet a world full of wonders. Those thoughts echoed in Roro's mind, creating an unstoppable wave of emotions.

However, amidst the anxiety that shackled her heart, Roro felt a miracle happening.

She felt that she was able to withstand everything that was going to happen, able to face all the trials that lay before her.

<Huft....huft...Argh....Arght!> Her mother screamed loudly, struggling to give birth to her child.

In a delivery room filled with the sound of gurgling water and hustle and bustle, Roro's mother continued to struggle with all the strength she had. Her face was covered with sweat and an expression of unwavering determination. Every breath she took sounded like a cry of courage, inspiring everyone present in the room.

Time seemed to stand still as Roro mother went through unspeakable pain. Her cries echoed throughout the room, but she did not give up. She kept pushing, showing incredible strength in the face of this ordeal.

Everyone present around her provided support and caring guidance. They knew that behind every pain, a new life would emerge. Every cry of pain that came out of Roro's Mother mouth symbolised her courage and determination to give birth to her child.

The night passed in hustle and bustle and tension. With every breath, Roro mother felt the power building within her. She knew that soon, all her efforts and struggles would yield beautiful results.

"Uaaa....uaa", the first cry that Roro let out post-birth.

The sound of the baby's fragile cry broke the silence of the night. In that second, all fears and worries vanished instantly. Roro was born into this world, a true testament to his mother's love and fortitude.

<Praise Lord, congratulations Madam, your child is a girl> The old woman took Genevieve in her arms.

Finally, among the cheers that filled the room, came the sound of a baby's heartfelt cry. The light of hope illuminated every corner, and everyone felt the miracle created before their eyes.

The old woman who seemed to be the midwife. Carrying Roro with a warm smile. She showed Roro's face to the woman who was lying on the bed because she was exhausted after giving birth.

<Huft..Huft..., is she pretty> The woman was so exhausted that she couldn't move her head.

She wanted to see the face of her child who was currently being held by the midwife, but she was currently having a hard time moving, she couldn't even lift her own head.

<She is very beautiful, madam, just like you!> said the midwife.

In the silence after the baby's cries subsided, everyone in the room felt an indescribable warmth. That cry had bound them all in an irreplaceable bond of love and happiness.

The sound of a baby crying when it is first born will always be a moment that thrills the heart and gives new hope. It is a priceless welcome to the new life that comes into this world, giving the message that every life has infinite meaning and value.

<Put her next to me, I want to feel her life> she whispered.

<Of course, Madam> the midwife nodded.

She carefully placed Roro next to her mother, who had just endured the most painful and miraculous experience of her life. Her body was exhausted, her face wet with sweat and tears. But she felt a surge of joy and love as she wrapped her arms around Roro.

Roro felt a warm embrace, a gentle pressure that made her feel secure. She heard a steady rhythm, a soothing sound that calmed her down. She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful face, with wavy hair that shone like gold and green eyes that sparkled like jewels.

She saw her mother's face, the face that had given her life. She saw the smile that lit up her features, the eyes that gazed at her with wonder and admiration. She felt her soft touch, a tender kiss on her forehead, and a sweet voice that whispered, "Hello, my precious daughter."

The woman held Roro's hand gently, stroking her cheek softly. She spoke to her in a language she did not understand yet, but she sensed the warmth and affection in every word and gesture. She felt safe in her arms, as if she had found her home in this strange world.

Roro felt an infinite sense of wonder and courage. She understood how precious every second of her mother's struggle was. With a heart full of courage, Roro entered this new world with an open mind and an overflowing spirit.

Roro was happy to be in her mother's care. She felt comfortable and safe. She knew that her mother would always be there for her, no matter what. Roro was excited to see what the future held for her. She knew that there would be challenges along the way, but she was ready to face them head-on.

Roro looked up at her mother and smiled. She knew that everything was going to be okay.

She was really very happy because after a long time, Roro was finally able to feel her mother's love once again. In this life, she is determined to never let herself feel the loss of her mother again.

As she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep, Roro couldn't help but wonder what adventures awaited her in this new world. She knew that there would be challenges along the way, but she was ready to face them head-on.
