For concern that she would be unable to provide enough care for her newborn child, a woman decides to leave him on a business aircraft seat. However, when her circumstances improve several years later, she decides to locate him and take him in in her care.

“ARE YOU PREGNANT?! “Rhonda, you must be completely insane!” When her father, David Harris, found out that she was becoming pregnant with her lover’s child, he became quite angry with her.

Rhonda, in contrast to Peter, came from a wealthy family; her father was the head of a very successful textile company. Unfortunately, her mother passed away when she was only two years old, leaving her father to raise her by himself.

In spite of the fact that Mr. Harris provided his daughter with the best of everything, including clothes, food, and education, he was also a highly controlling person who did not want her to disobey his wishes.

When Rhonda found out that she was pregnant, she made an effort to hide the fact from her father by wearing large clothes. However, as the baby bulge got more noticeable, she was unable to disguise it any longer. She disclosed to Mr. Harris that she was expecting a child, but he did not seem pleased. Rhonda, you are going to get rid of that kid by giving them up. Are you able to comprehend it?

“I’m sorry, dad,” Rhonda, who was 16 years old, vehemently said. “The pregnancy will not be terminated by me. It is too late; I am unable to abort the pregnancy at this time.

In such case, Mr. Harris said, “You will be responsible for determining how you are going to bring up that child on your own.” As far as our family is concerned, no one has ever taken the risk of marrying someone from a lower social level. Therefore, if you want to make that man’s blood boil, you should leave my home immediately!

During the little quiet that followed, Rhonda said, “Fine, dad,” as her eyes began to flood up with tears. There is a possibility that Mom would have supported me if she were still alive. However, it is not a problem. In order to demonstrate that you are wrong, I shall raise the kid by myself.

Once Rhonda had finished packing her belongings, she left that evening, therefore cutting off all communication with her father. Mrs. Harris was instructed to return only when she had either terminated the pregnancy or put the kid in an institution. Mr. Harris was adamant in his refusal to budge and slammed the door behind her.

During the time that she was planning to take an Uber to Peter’s house, Rhonda did not speak. When she arrived, she said that she had left her father’s home because he refused to accept their child and that she wanted to start a new life with him. However, he refused to accept their child. Peter, however, would not assume responsibility for the kid, which came as a significant surprise to her.

It was him who said, “Look, babe.” It’s not yet time for me to become a parent. For what reason did you decide to leave your father’s house? It is possible that he provided us with financial assistance when we got married and made the decision to begin a new life. You must get rid of that kid, Rhonda, or you will forget about me.

Upon hearing it, Rhonda was taken aback by the news. However, Peter, this is our little one.

As far as I am concerned, Rhonda, you and that infant are bringing me nothing but grief at the moment. What if I told you? Ignore us and go on! “Let it be over!”

It’s Peter! Rhonda shed tears. You couldn’t contain your excitement when you learned that you were expecting a child! What just took place?

“Because you are a nobody at this very moment, the baby.” As he slammed the door in her face, he said at her, “Your father kicked you out, and I can’t raise that child, so farewell.”

Within the span of a single night, Rhonda’s life was utterly upside down! Both her father and her boyfriend were completely unconcerned about her well-being, and she couldn’t believe that she was carrying such a heavy pregnancy. Unable to contain her tears, she stepped out of Peter’s home that evening and wandered about the neighborhood, pondering the destination that life would bring her.

She went into labor after experiencing a severe pain in her abdominal region. She continued to beg onlookers to help her, despite the fact that she was in a significant deal of agony. Rhonda was fortunate enough to be seen by a lady who, with the aid of her driver, assisted her in reaching her vehicle and then drove her to the hospital.

When Rhonda awoke the next morning, the lady who had assisted her in giving delivery, Angela Bamford, was sitting at her bedside. Rhonda had just given birth to a beautiful little boy.

Rhonda whispered, “I am extremely grateful to you for the assistance you provided.” “My child… he is safe, is that correct?”

The response that Mrs. Bamford gave her was, “He is doing fine.” “Are you a newcomer to this town?” I saw you were carrying several things with you.

Rhonda was unable to contain her feelings throughout the situation. She burst into tears and explained to Mrs. Bamford how she had arrived at that location. Rhonda sobbed, “I don’t want to live here any longer,” and she was right. “I would do everything to leave the state of Texas. But I’m not quite certain that I’ll be able to provide my kid a happy and fulfilling existence.

Not only did Mrs. Bamford feel sorry for Rhonda because she was a homeless mother who was wrestling with the decision of whether or not to raise her child, but she also felt sorry for Rhonda because she reminded her of her own daughter.

The reassurance that Mrs. Bamford gave her was, “Don’t say that, dear.” I used to have a kid who was around the same age as you. She was kicked out of the home when we found out that she was pregnant, which caused us to become really angry.

The fact that my husband is the owner of an aviation business meant that we were able to afford to retain our kid. We were not interested in having a pregnancy at such a young age. Would that I had been able to assist her. She made the decision to end her life since she was unable to take it all. Certainly, I do not want anybody else to have to go through that! There is no better place to be than here.”

In response to the news, Rhonda wiped away her tears and said, “I’m sorry to hear that.”

Mrs. Bamford elaborated, “I, too, feel sorry for her,” and she was right. On the other hand, it is already too late. Do not be concerned; I will assist you. I am able to make the reservation for you. Check to see if your child is able to lead a respectable life in their new setting.

Suddenly, Rhonda let out a gasp. There is a lot that you have already done for me. It’s my deepest concern that I won’t be able to return the favor.

“Would you kindly,” Mrs. Bamford pleaded. If I were to assist you, it would be the same as assisting my daughter. And I’ll be able to conquer my feelings of guilt.”

It was impossible for Rhonda to refuse Mrs. Bamford at that moment in time. She agreed to purchase the ticket, and some days later, she was on a business class aircraft from Australia to New York City, all set to begin a new chapter in her life.

However, while she sat on the airplane with her kid in her arms, she was constantly concerned about whether or not she would be able to give him with a pleasant existence.

When I am unable to provide care for my kid, what happens? What happens if he ends up choosing to live on the street with me? Rhonda’s mind was so preoccupied with these ideas that she failed to notice that the trip had come to an end and that the pilot had declared that they had arrived at John F. Kennedy International Airport.

Rhonda’s reaction was one of utter horror when she found out that she would be abandoned in a foreign location with a newborn child and no means of providing for him. Her heart was pounding with dread as she contemplated the future that lied ahead for both her and her kid. Her thoughts started to race and her heart stopped beating.

It was at this very time that she made a choice that was not easy to make. She made the decision to abandon her child on the airplane with the expectation that he would be accepted by someone and that he would be able to have a respectable life.

She waited for the people in the seats next to her to leave, and when she thought that no one was looking, she quickly fled the aircraft, placing her son on the seat, along with a note that she had written earlier, and then she rapidly left the plane. It took every ounce of her strength to keep from looking back and reclaiming her child, but she was certain that it was for the best.

Upon approaching the seat after the passengers had already left, Lincy, one of the stewardesses, was taken aback to discover the newborn sitting there. As she read the letter that Rhonda had left for the child, she couldn’t help but feel terrible for the child.

As a poor mother, I am unable to provide enough care for my kid. In the event that you find this letter, you should not spend any time looking for me. It is impossible for me to provide him with a life that is worthy of respect. I trust that you would accept and value him as if he were a member of your own family. If you were to give him the name Matthew, I would be overjoyed. This is Matt Harris. That was the name that I had chosen for him originally.

Thirteen years after that…

Rhonda had a successful profession and was doing well financially after over a decade of struggle. She was in a prosperous position. On the other hand, she never had a single day in which she did not feel sorrow for leaving her child on the airplane.

Nearly seven years had passed since she had relocated to New York City, during which time she had been without a house. She had spent the next seven years striving to get a stable income and rent a place to live. It turned out that everything had worked out for her in the end, and she was certain that she would be able to provide her child with all he desired.

Naturally, she felt guilty of the things she had done in the past, and she was certain that her child would never accept her. On the other hand, she made the decision to take a risk and see her son for the very first and maybe last time. The unfortunate reality is that she was correct in her prediction that something would go wrong.

Who is my mother? “You have got to be being serious!” It was when she first met Matthew that he became hostile toward her. When did you disappear for all of these years? It is not necessary for me to have you! “I am content with my adoptive parents.”

Upon hearing Matthew’s comments, Rhonda’s eyes welled up with tears. She went to the local police department and told them everything that had happened to her. Fortunately, one of the policemen was able to help her locate her kid. She had sought aid from the local police.

Since it was possible that Matthew may have been adopted by anybody in the world and given a new name, she believed that she would never be able to find him. It was a stroke of good luck that she started her search in New York and was able to locate him there using the alias that she had assigned to him.

After receiving a phone call, Matthew’s adoptive mother gave him the name Matthew Harris and explained the reasons why she had abandoned him. When it came down to it, the flight attendant, Lincy, and her husband decided to adopt the child. Given the circumstances surrounding her departure from Matthew, she was cautious about presenting Rhonda to him; nonetheless, in the end, she consented to provide her with the chance to explain herself after she had gained an appreciation of her story.

Matthew was the recipient of Rhonda’s apology. I am aware of the fact that you are unhappy and that you are reluctant to accept me; yet, would you be prepared to give me one more opportunity that you have been considering?

“There is no way!” the child said. “You are a cruel lady who has abandoned me,” she said. Currently, I would be living in an orphanage if my parents hadn’t chosen to adopt me.

“However, Matthew,” Rhonda said. “I had no desire to carry out the task. Will you not give me the opportunity to let you know why I left you?

Despite Matthew’s initial reluctance, his parents were able to persuade him to comply. The truth that Rhonda concealed regarding her early pregnancy and her forced departure when she was 13 years old was kept silent. On the other hand, she disclosed to him that she was living in abject poverty and that his father had abandoned her.

Lincy continued by saying that Rhonda was unable to provide him with a life that was suited for him, which is why she gave him up. Matthew, on the other hand, was adamant about not acknowledging Mary as his mother. It was possible that he may forgive you, he replied. “But I’m sorry, I can’t call you Mom.” One mother is all that I have.

The response that Rhonda gave was, “It’s okay, Matthew.” It would be great if I could see you at least on the weekends.

“Alright, I don’t mind,” the young man said.

Ten years had passed since that terrible day of the year. Matthew, who is 23 years old, is now employed in the field of data science in New York City. Rhonda’s misdeeds were forgiven by him over the course of time, and he came to accept her as his mother. He came to the realization that everything she did was a compulsion.

Rhonda and Andrew have been dating for a month now, and they first met at Rhonda’s place of employment. Rhonda is interested in marrying him, but before she does so, she wants to discuss the matter with Matthew. In addition, she saw Mrs. Bamford on her trip to Texas two years ago, and the elderly lady expressed her relief that things had worked out well for her.

Which lessons can we learn from this narrative?

In the end, time is the healer. After some time, Matthew came to the realization that Rhonda was not entirely to blame for the events that took place on the day that she left him. Reflecting on the past serves no use and should be avoided. Matthew had compassion for Rhonda and forgave her.
