“I was dating this guy during the MCO. One thing led to another; I got pregnant. He didn’t want to have the baby, but I wanted to keep it. I offered him the choice of whether he wanted to stay or leave.
I told him that it’s not the kid’s fault; it was our fault that we created this mess. After one night, he told me he would keep the baby with me, but I didn’t know then that he was already with another girl.
One week after I delivered (my baby), I managed to guess his phone’s password. I was like, “Damn girl, you pandai siot”. It was his IC number.
But it broke my heart when I found out he was cheating on me. There was a video of him having sex with another girl who worked with him. He used to work as a barista, and she worked at a juice bar – that’s how they met.
There was a video of them having sex in her car, and when I checked the date of the video, it was created on the day I was delivering my baby.
It was a video in the “recently deleted” folder, and I was praying to God that it was a random sex tape he had downloaded or an old video. But he was wearing my sweater. I was in bed when I was going through his phone, and I went ‘Ah shit’, as he was sleeping right next to me while breastfeeding his baby.
I was shattered.
We got into a physical fight, and he even asked why didn’t she forgive him.
I had looked up to him as my father and respected him as a father; I loved him, I took care of him, and during that time, he didn’t have a job; I supported him. I was on maternity leave, earning RM2,000 a month, and we lived on that.
We slept in separate places for the next three days, and I could not bear to see his face. I saw that he still had not blocked her. Eventually, I got tired and told him to leave me if he wanted to continue with that other girl.
Eventually, he managed to improve, tried to support us and got a job. I still don’t trust him 1000%; right now, I’m only with him because of the baby. It’s all for the baby.
My apartment back then was on level 38, and I wanted to commit suicide. But what he would do was bring my baby right in front of me to remind me to live for her.
I told him I was going to leave. “I’ve already changed since the birth of our daughter. You have never changed,” I said.
I am terrified he might cheat on me; I am frightened he might mistreat me again. I am not the same person anymore.
And I’m still here, living for my baby. And still with him.”
