I don’t know about you
but I have been following up the Royals story. Ever since Kate got engaged with
Prince William, I have been living on fantasy world. I mean, how many females
can have so much luck like Kate? A simple commoner ending up with the Prince
just as we have been dreaming of ever since we were little girls from reading
fairy tales. They got married almost two years ago and seemed to have the best
of marriages.
Last week, they were
blessed with a beautiful baby boy and the media has gone crazy with the
news. I mean, who wouldn’t? I know
sometimes the attention can be too much but what the hell? Who cares? It was on
a Saturday reading one of those tabloid magazines which is filled with pictures
from the day William and Kate went to the hospital to the presentation of the
baby to the world. The pictures were really beautiful.
“Hey, so what’s new with
the celebrities?” Fred asked sitting next to me. He was from the barbers.
“Same old…but there are
pictures of the new baby William and Kate had.” I replied showing him the
magazine.
“Oh, let me see.” He said
taking the magazine and scrutinizing the pictures.
“Has Kate already had the
baby in this one?” he asked pointing to one showing them holding the baby on
the steps of the hospital.
“Yes, can’t you see the
child?” I replied.
“And how comes she has a
big tummy?” he asked looking confused.
I laughed. Fred cannot be
this shallow.
“The stomach does not
immediately go ‘flat’ once you give birth. It takes time.” I explained to him.
“Huh? But the baby is
already out, what is in there?”
“Fred, really?” I said
getting tired of his silly questions.
“But..” he started.
“You won’t understand. It’s
a bit complicated.” I said.
My phone buzzed. It was
my mother on the line. I answered the phone and talked to her. She was checking
up on me since it has been weeks since my surgery. I assured her I was better
and had even gone for a follow up and everything was fine. She was doing fine
too and she had finally moved to the city. Although I had reservations on her
moving her, it was going to do her good as she would be busy and be able to
connect with her relatives more easily.
