POV
Living in a new environment wasn't easy, harder because I'm living with no one but my little angel by my side.
No one's there to helpwhen she won't stop crying because of something | couldn't figure out. No one would
carry her once my arms were numb and hurting already. No one would offer to take care of her at night
whenever she wakes up and cries.
Those things were done by Pierce when | was with him but then | decided to leave and | won't regret anything
"Please take care of her while I'm at work. | will do my best to go hearly."
The nanny | hired for my daughter smiled and nodded at me, She's a middle-aged woman living in the next
apartment I'm renting. She offered help when we had a conversation one tand | mentioned to her that I'm
searching for a nanny.
I've been living in this apartment for almost 4 months now and my savings were about to run off. | need to start
working now so | would be able to save for my baby.
"Don't worry about anything Elle. | will take care of Yuki"
Obviously, | had to hide my real identity so | named myself Elle and Yuki for Snow which also means snow in
Japanese.
"It's hard to raise a kid especially if you're a single mom. So you have to work really hard and save for the future
of your daughter. However, you can always count on me. I'll be very willing to help and support you."
I smiled at her. "Thank you, Martha. | don't know what I'd do without you."
True to Martha's words, it wasn't easy. And because I'm hiding behind a fake name, | can only apply for jobs that
don't need my legal documents.
I'm currently working as a dishwasher in a restaurant It's a very exhausting job but | have to work hard. There
was even a tthat | went to work while sick. | almost passed out but thinking about my baby makes me
strong. Snow is the only strength | can hold on to now. As long as she's with me, | can move mountains.
"The expenses of living are rising. So | had to raise the rent fee. I'm sorry about this, Elle. If it's just me, | would
spare you but you know that | have three little childrens I'm feeding."
| smiled at the owner of the apartment as | handed her my rent for the current month.
"It's okay, Perry. | understand. We're all just trying to live fairly, so don't worry. And I'm working very hard so | can
pay my rent."
Truly, being a mother isn't easy. | had to give up on myself and just offer all of myself to my baby's future.
Nothing is easy. Even living isn't.
"Shh! Baby, why won't you stop crying?" | asked while almost crying too.
It's already r midnight when Snow interrupted my uncomfortable sleep after working all day. | tried feeding her

1 felt tears rolling down my cheeks as | bit my bottom lip, stopping myself from crying too.
| don't know what to do. I'm scared. | tried checking her temperature but she's normal, so | don't know what's
wrong.
Cutch At Shawd
Someone knocked on the door, followed by a hoarse voice. "Hey! Stop your child's crying. We need to
sleep too!"
My lips trembled. | don't know what to do.
"B-Baby, please, hush. Mommy is here. Please, what does my baby want?"
"Hey! Don't say such things to her! She has no control over it because her daughter is still an infant!" That was
Martha's voice.
| immediately opened the door when she knocked.
""M-Martha..."
"What's wrong, Elle?"
"S-She won't stop crying. | don't know why."
"Letcarry her."
She's more experienced than me, so | carefully gave Snow to her.
"Oh! She's teething, that's why."
| blinked. "Huh? But she's just four months old."
She smiled as she carefully danced, comforting Snow.
"Sbaby starts teething early."
"What should | do? She must be in pain, that's why she's crying nonstop."
"For now, use your clean finger to gently massage her swollen gums. Tomorrow, buy a teething ring. It will help
her."
| quickly nodded. "Thank you, Martha."
She gave Snow back to me. "Do it so you can sleep again. You look exhausted, Elle. You should take care of
yourself too."
Martha has been a great help to me.

And yes, it's true. All of my hardwork has paid off eventually. All of my sacrifices as a mother, all of the tears |
shed and all of the sleepless night were paid off when | first heard my little angel talk. When | first saw her laugh
and walk. It was beyond happiness "Mma....mmm..my..."
She w
was just cooing and babbling this past few months but now that she's 12 months old, she's starting to say
something while looking atand clapping her little hands, Cho was trying to
stand on her feet and | felt tears rolling down my cheeks when she did.
| clapped my hands and she pointed atwhen she looked at me.
"Mmmmy...mmmy..."
| nodded as | chuckled, eyes full of tears. "Yes, baby. This is mommy. This is mommy and mommy loves you so
much."

true. | felt so rewarded. | felt so proud.
