Being a mother is a difficult job

Maze is standing outside the baby's ward, watching her children through the transparent glass wall. Allison is with her. Standing beside her.

Her tears trickle out by itself as she is smiling upon looking at how innocent her babies are. Sometimes, she saw babies being carried by the parents. They look so cute and cheeky, but she didn't expect that she would be comparative. She thought, her babies were way more adorable and cuter than others.

No one is eligible to compete with her babies in her eyes and her heart because they are both precious and irreplaceable to her.

"They're adorable..." She mumbled and planted her hands on the glass wall wanting to touch them in her vision.

"Babies are always adorable. They are also sensitive and soft. You're like holding a soft teddy when you get to feel their thin skin." Allison shared happily.

She turned her attention to Allison, and Allison saw how adorable Mia is. Just like its babies. "Can I carry them out?"

Maze can't wait to touch and feel them. She's always been excited about their arrival, and now that they have come...

"We can. Besides, it's been a week too since you have admitted here. You're also allowed to go home with them."

She rejoices upon hearing the good news from Allison. "Mommy is here to get you now my little angels." She said to herself while Allison excused to call the nurse.

And so before leaving the hospital, Maze was taught how to carry the baby, how to change diapers, how to breast feed them, how to change and also the do's and don'ts.

Maze kept the reminders and the lessons well in her mind. Don't have plans to forget any single detail from it.

They're heading to the hospital's exit. When Khairro also entered the hospital. Khairro did not notice her, but Maze does. She stiffens when she gets to familiarize his face.

There's no way she could forget him because she's her baby's father.

After months of not seeing each other again. The guy still appear hot and attractive. All of him looks perfect yet simple. She can't even tell if he's rich or poor.

"What's wrong, Mia? You alright?" Allison who walks by her side asked when noticing her unmoved.

Maze didn't hear Allison, and Allison wondered why she became bothered. 'Does Mia have seen someone who made her stop so suddenly?'

She felt like everyone around her was gone and that she and Khairro were the ones who was there. He's coming and nearing...

Her heartbeat went rapid as well as her breathing was taken aback for a few minutes.

She can't even blink her eyes because she's afraid that he might snatch the baby she's holding.

Her knees trembled.

Everything seems not right to her. Nervousness is killing her. Even though she has nothing to worry about the guy because what happened between them was none of his business.

He's just a tool she's done using and acquired what she dreamt.

"Mia? Hello?" Allison called her again. But Maze's silence told her that she didn't hear her.

Until Khairro passes by on her, like he didn't know her. Just like a stranger.

Why did her heart tightened and cause her a bit pain upon knowing that he didn't notice her? Why does it have to affect her? She can't understand...

"Mia! Mia! Mia! Earth to you?? Notice me??" Maze took her senses back and saw Allison in front of her.

"Oh... what did you say?" She was really spacing out. Allison sigh for the hopelessly looking lady in front of her.

"You stopped walking when we're opt to exit. Are you bothered with something?"

Now that wakes her up. "Uhm, I thought I saw someone I know... It seems like I mistook that person. Let's go?"

Allison did not bother to ask for more and exited the hospital and escort her patient to its house.

"You're also alone here?" As expected, Allison would be surprise.

She nodded, and showed Allison that being alone doesn't matter to her. "Yes, I'm alone."

"Why didn't you inform me?" and Allison looks upset.

She opened the door first before answering her. Putting the bag she carried on the sofa. "I did told you before, you even compliment me for being strong. Here sit first, you must be tired from taking the responsibility to take care of me and my babies."

"I meant for you who comes alone at my clinic that time and not being alone here, Mia." Allison then rested herself to the sofa. While Maze is putting her son on the crib at her room.

The room's door is open, so Allison can still see her.

"Oh... I thought you mean about my household." They both misunderstood each other.

She took her daughter from Allison and place it on the crib, beside her son. "Let's forget about it. The deal now is... How will you take care them alone? You told me that you have a class right?"

That was her problem too. And she thought of an idea about that a month before her due date. "It's fine. I informed my teacher about my situation and asked to withdraw classes..."

"Wait, what? Why did you do that?"

She just shrugged. "I want to prioritize my babies than studying. I want to become a hands on mommy to them." It's true. Even Maze did not regret anything. She believe, she can pursue studying for some other time.

"Are you sure with that? You might waste the time and the opportunity to level up next year."

She sigh heavily. To be honest, she felt sad with what Allison said. She thinks of that too. "My teacher told me the same thing... she doesn't want me to stop as well..."

Allison's worries towards her was like embracing her, in behalf of her situation... there's someone who cares for her. She's grateful. If it's not because of Allison... She wouldn't know where she and her babies now.

"What did she say? Does she have any ways to keep you?"

Maze smiled and turned to hug Allison. Allison was surprised but recovers fast and embraces her back. "She told me that she cannot let go of me and that she will adjust for me. She even offers home service with no payment..." She cried beneath telling the heartfelt words from her teacher.

"It was so shameful of me to take advantage of my situation and my teacher's. I don't know if I should accept Allison..."

Somehow, it made Allison chuckles. "Silly woman. In this case of yours, opportunity like that should be accepted. Don't think about the person's kindness to negativity. And you know what? Your teacher offers you that because she saw the credibility, and the ability from you. She wants to help you because you are worth risking. All you have to do is give your best shot to inspire your teacher more. That'll be enough payment for her hardwork..."

Maze is like a baby, hard to console. But Allison likes that side of her. She is like a little sister to her. "Don't worry, Mia. The road might be rocky for you, but I will be glad to lend my hands to you for you to lessen the roughness. Believe me, you can do it. Just trust yourself and everything will be alright. Not now, but soon. Just hang in there and show the world that you are deserving of obtaining the fruit of success."

Maze reflect herself as a successful designer. Somehow it boost her confidence. Allison is right, in order to survive... she has to be strong enough to conquer the cruel circumstances of this world.

That's what she desires right before she left the mansion. How could it slipped in her mind and turn herself down?

By any means, she has to prove herself to those people who bullied her that she can stand by her own without depending on her parent's wealth.

When she achieve it all. She no longer have to hide and let everyone meet her as her and not the billionaire's daughter in distressed.

Seven in the evening, Maze is cooking her dinner when one of her twins cried. She turned off the gas and rushed towards her room.

She's hungry, but the baby needs her. She took her daughter out from the crib, and breastfeed her.

Isabel her daughter was console through breastfeeding. Looks like her daughter is just hungry.

Maze stomach crumbles, but she chooses to endure and drink her milk to give some proteins to her child. After an hour of consoling... Isabel went back to sleep and she put her back to the crib.

Maze is just wearing a loose shirt, with no bra for better access when her babies will ask for milk. She doesn't bother about her appearance and even forgot to comb her hair. It's messy.

She run back to the kitchen and continue cooking her dish. When done, the other baby bombarded the house with loud cries.

She took a spoonful of rice, and sipped nutritious soup on the bowl itself before dashing back to her room. This time it was her son who's crying. He was named after Isaac. She wiped her hands first before taking the baby into her arms.

"Sshhh baby, mommy is here..." She said and breastfeed him while singing him a lullaby as well.

During her breastfeeding with her son, her daughter cried. It was giving her a hard time because it's hard to console two babies at a time. All she could do for her daughter is to caressed and taptap lightly on the leg.

She's having bullets of sweat, especially that they have no aircon and using an electric fan only. Mosquitoes are her rivals too, urging her to stay awake all night. To watch for mosquitoes of biting her babies.

Another has come, and Maze is exhausted real bad. Allison visited at noon and brought them an aircon with a worker to apply it. Also a breast pump for her.

Gladly, Allison came and substitute her from taking care of the twins even just for a few hours and get some rest.

It's alright night when she wakes up. Allison have to leave again and left her alone with the twins again. Like yesterday, her job is repeatitive. But even though it drains her, she did not think about giving up. She likes it, she made it so she will be responsible for it. Besides, by just looking at her little angels... Her tiredness vanishes.

She just introduced from that feeling. She did not know that babies had the power to steal her tiredness away.

To avoid the last night's situation to happen again. Maze followed Allison's advice. She saves milk by pumping it out of her breast and containing the babylon with her own milk.

When the other cried and doesn't want to drink milk. She checked the baby's diapers and finds out that her son pooped! Using the wipes, she cleaned her son's ass very carefully. Afraid to hurt him. When done, she take him in her arms and dance lightly. Helping to send her son back to sleep.

After a few minutes, she saw her baby girl awake. She's not crying but observing the place. She's also raising her little hands as if asking her mom to play with her.

Maze smiled at her little Isabel and touched her cute hand. Maze's heart was touched just by a simple gesture she received from her daughter.

Each day, her job keeps going. A full time mom to her children.

But when her babies reached five months old they got sick which she was introduced to fear of losing them. She got nervous even just for a simple fever. She would asked Allison or her teacher to come and help her because she doesn't know how to take the sickness away.

There are times that she will cry all night just because her children suffered a terrible illness for a very young age. She also blames herself for being a careless mother, although she has always been careful to them.

In terms of her studies, she didn't stop and pursue it. With the help of her teacher, things turned easier for her. Just like what Allison said and Allison's promise to support her along the process.

Until, Maze gets to use of all and adjusted. Her babies grow healthy and chubby. Which gives them the unsolicited pleasure.
