The sun had just risen, casting its gentle rays through the small window of the old wooden house. Hhafa Ctusty, a first-year university student, sat at the dining table, her gaze fixed on her half-finished bubble tea. As she stared into the cup, her mind drifted back to the past- a past told through the stories of her parents, blended with fragments of her own memories:
THE CHANCE MEETING OF CTUSTY'S PARENTS
Once upon a time, after finishing her university entrance exams, her mother, Hofang Tihan, was overjoyed, certain she had passed and would be accepted into the school of her dreams. She quickly asked her parents for permission to travel and enjoy herself before diving into the grind of studies. But just as she was preparing to embrace freedom, her phone vibrated in her pocket. The voice on the other end - was her father's angry, furious: "Come home right now! You failed the exam! Get back here, or you will regret it! Her hands trembled, and she could not believe what she was hearing. Unable to face him, she decided not to return home, and instead, she wandered alone in the unfamiliar city, searching for a job.
It was there that she found a position at a small company, a place where she also found the love of her life-Hhafa Tang. He was the one who rekindled the light of hope and love in her heart. He helped her clean her apartment, drove her to work, comforted her when she was sad, and even traveled back to her hometown to beg her parents for forgiveness over her exam failure.
And as fate would have it, a beautiful wedding took place, uniting two families in joy.
WHAT DID CTUSTY EXPERIENCE WHILE SHE WAS STILL IN HER MOTHER'S WOMB?
On Valentine's Day...
Hhafa Tang: "Tihan, I have a gift for you."
Hofang Tihan: "I am so nervous... What is it?"
Hhafa Tang did not answer her question. Instead, he simply gazed deeply into her eyes. He moved closer to her, his eyes slowly closing, the light in the room dimming, and strange sounds seemed to fill the air around them.
Hofang Tihan: "Oh... I... I like this feeling..."
And so, the night unfolded in quiet passion...
One week later...
Hofang Tihan began to show signs of pregnancy, and she couldn't contain her joy. She rushed to share the news with her husband, and the two of them went to the hospital for a check-up. But to their shock, the doctor told them she was not pregnant, diagnosing her with a false pregnancy. The couple left the office with a prescription, their hearts heavy with sadness. But then, a strange thing happened: after taking the medication for over a week, the symptoms did not go away. Tihan's intuition told her she was indeed pregnant, so she stopped taking the medicine. Hhafa Tang trusted his wife completely, and together they went to a different hospital. This time, the news was exactly what they had hoped for: Tihan was carrying a tiny life inside her, and with her love and determination, she vowed to protect the baby at all costs.
Two months later...
As they were driving home from work, Tihan suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and sensed something was wrong. She talked to Tang, her voice trembling, asking him to take her straight to the nearest hospital. Without hesitation, Tang obeyed her wish and drove as quickly as he could. The doctors quickly diagnosed her with a threatened miscarriage and advised her to rest for the coming weeks.
A few months later...
Hhafa Tang: "Oh my god, our daughter is so beautiful..."
He marveled, holding the tiny baby in his arms - no one else but Hhafa Ctusty, the little girl who had defied death not once, but twice. Meanwhile, Hhafa Tihan rested quietly after childbirth. As Tang played with their daughter for a few moments, a nurse entered the room, gently lifting the baby to take her to the newborn care unit.
After a period of recovery, both Tihan and little Ctusty were finally strong enough to return home, ready to begin their new life together.
