NEVER FELT SO OFFENDED

As a first time mom at 24, i am always excited to wake up every moment para lang kausapin sa tiyan ko yung baby ko. 22 weeks as of the moment, and I believe and i have faith in God that our baby is doing fine, kasi active naman siya everyday and normal lagi heartbeat niya sa check ups namin. There are times that i feel off a bit kapag may sisita sakin na "AY? BUNTIS KA? PARANG HINDI, LIIT NG TIYAN MO" they kept on saying na maliit daw eh 6 months na, but i met and witnessed a lot of moms naman na before na kasing katawan ko na di naman super.big ang bump, specially if slim ang fig gaya ko. I asked naman my OB before and wala naman kaos duon. BUT HERE'S WHAT OFFENDED ME ALONG THE WAY JUST RECENTLY, I went out with my younger sis otw to Manila City Hall para kumuha ng Cedula and to renew my Police ID, sumakay kami ng LRT at sumakay ako sa first area ng bagon where they prioritize PWDs, Pregnant women and mag Senior Citizens, from Monumento, nasa D.JOSE Station palang kami at naka upo ako sa dulo near sa door habang naka tayo sister ko since maluwag naman but student siya so kaya niya naman, a Gay came in and stood in front of me, naka hawak siya sa bakal, and i dont mind, suppsoed to be yata tatabi sya sakin maybe Senior na siya BUT malaki body built niya i swear, naunahan siya ng isang Lola maupo but along the way habang kausap ko sister ko i heard him nag sa Lola na "EH BAKIT ILANG TAON NA BA KAYO?" may tono pa na parang galit kasi nauna yung Lola sa upuan like wth then give way ang laki laki ng katawan mo at babae yan. Di ko pinansin masiyado, kausap ko sister ko, but he caught my attention when he made parinig? like "YUNG IBA KASI, DI NAMAN DAPAT NANDITO, UMUUPO PA" I swear to God may guts ako na ako yung pinopoint niya, but diko binig deal kasi i dont owe him an explanation and statement na Im there kasi buntis ako. Napaka luwag ng bagon around 11AM, Friday. Pag dating namin sa Central Station duon din pala sya bababa, but pag tayo ko imbis na paraanin ako, Pilit nyang hinigpitan hawak sa bakal making me excuse myself at yumuko ako at akala ko ayaw lang ako padaanin, but bago ako tumapak sa labas ng bagon dinuro niya ko at sister ko specially me dahil ako ang naka upo, nilakasan niya boses niya so many can hear him, "ETO KASI OH! OH ITONG DALAWANG TO DITO PA SUMASAKAY DI NAAMN DAPAT NANDITO" I swear to God diko alam saan ako naka kuha ng pag titimpi at pasensiya, all i said back sa sama ng loob ko is i pointed out my tummy, para makita niya sabi ko "BUNTIS AKO OH!" sumagot siya "AH BUNTIS KA PALA? (using an irritated tone) MUKA KAISNG HINDE!" sorry not sorry but as a mom and a woman i feel disrespwcyed dahil lang di ako mukang buntis at first glance sa kaniya? nasagot ko siya na "ANG TANDA MO NA PERO RESPETO DI MO YATA NAKUHANG ISAMA SA PAG TANDA MO? PANO KA RERESPETUHIN NIYAN?!" whole day i felt bad, i feel insecure all of a sudden dahil lang duon, but one thing is for sure, SMALL OR BIG BUMP, I will never be ashamed na iapgtanghol right ko as a woman and as a Mom, IF I HAVE TO. Please if somone out there did the same sa inyo, fight fo ryour rights also specially if you did nothing wrong. In private or public places. God bless
