MOMENT OF HAPPINESS

In the middle of January 24, 1989 while the full moon is watching the peaceful night. Suddenly, it witnesses the birth of a lovely girl. Despite the hard and painful labor of Mrs. Diamona Hadji Noor, it was all gone when she finally saw her baby and it was a healthy and a strong baby girl. Diamona named the baby girl “Lynah” which is a baby powder brand and the reason why she gave this name is that because the girl has a fair and white skin and it is also the powder brand she is using.

Lynah is the second daughter of Mr.Ibrahim and Mrs. Diamona Hadji Noor. Ibrahim is from Wato and Pantao a Ragat while Diamona is from Bayang and Marugong. But they are not living in either of the places mentioned. They are currently living at MSU-SPDE. SPDE is an agricultural firm and where Ibrahim work as security guard.

Lynah’s development is so fast. The expected skills in her age are met. The couple is so much happy seeing that their child is growing strong and healthy. As early as two years old, Lynah is already exposed in the farm and the life here. She was brought by her mother at the farm and where she is playing with her older sister and with the small animals such as chicks, ducklings,etc. she loves watching the fishes in the fish pond, run after the chickens, ride at the back of horse with her father, imitating the sounds of animals such as goats, cows and carabaos and especially having fun or playing with frogs in the rice pond. She loves catching the frogs and run after them, she also imitating its sound and act as a frog.

When the time of harvesting has come, they have lots of oats or “pinipi” and they love eating the new rice. Sometimes their relative visits them such as her uncles and aunts and they are so much happy seeing each other. When they come, Lynah has always a pasalubong from them such as toys, clothes or foods that make her happy. The house will be full of louder laughs and conversations. During night Lynah cannot sleep because of their endless conversation and it will continue again tomorrow in the dining while eating or in any place they were; and most of the time when they are complete they have a picnic outside door and that makes the bond of the family strongly tight.

They have a happy life at this place. They live peacefully and harmoniously far-away from the people who did nothing but to destroy her or his fellow.
