A Journey Called Life Episode 19

The saddest episode of A Journey Called Life ever. It caused me to cry buckets. Linda Chung really does a good job with her crying scenes. It made me feel for her. The saddest thing was that 2 babies were killed in this episode. Not going to post my views on abortions cos this is not a political blog. =)

Stephen & Helena went home to visit his mother and offered her the tea like in the traditional wedding ceremony. The whole family finally makes up.

Fala meets Raymond and tells him that the baby is his. He promises to be responsible but she is adamant on aborting it. Raymond calls Steven for help but they cannot get through to her phone.

By the time they had found her, she had already aborted the baby. Raymond & Steven both get mad at her but she does not realise her mistake and instead say that she is doing it all for her own good. Steven leaves angrily and tells her she is no longer his younger sister.

Fala returns home and is beaten up by Cheng Tse Shing for aborting the baby and for cheating on him. She leaves in fear and drives the car out. She calls Steven and the home phone but no one would take her call as they were still angry at her for aborting the child. She drowns her sorrow in alcohol.

Steven meets her by chance on the streets and she apologises profusely for her mistakes. He doesn't forgive her and she drives the car away even though she was drunk. Tragedy is about to strike as Linda and the family approaches the road where a very drunk Fala is drink driving.

A pedestrian crosses the street and Fala swerves to avoid him and ends up hitting Linda instead!

Steven and the family is waiting outside for the doctor and Fala started to be concern over Linda. Steven doesn't want her concern and the doctor comes out to inform them that Linda is ok. Suddenly, a nurse comes out to inform that something is wrong with Linda and they sent her to the operating theatre immediately.

Linda starts to worry when she realises the baby hasn't kicked her since the accident. Steven consoles her saying that their baby is asleep. The doctor then informs them that the baby's heart has stopped beating and has died. !!!!!!!! Oh no! Linda gets really agitated but the doctor insists that the baby has to be removed immediatey or she would die too.

Linda gives birth to her baby naturally and Steven asks the doctor to let them see the baby one last time. My heart crashed the moment I heard that the baby was dead. I didn't really expect it. Imagine the pain Linda must be feeling after so much difficulty just to have a baby only to realise it was dead. Worse still was that she still had to give birth to it and see that it wasn't crying. =(

Steven tells the family is dead and gets really agitated upon seeing Fala. He tells Fala why must she kill his baby after she had killed hers. It was such a depressing scene. I didn't know whether to feel sorry for Steven for losing his baby or for Fala for having to bear such a deep regret in future.

Steven spends some time with some of the baby's items with his mother. It was such a soft sentimental scene that I felt so depressed after watching it. It was really such a pity that the baby couldn't come home with them.

Steven blames himself for causing his sister to become a failure and for not protecting his nephew/neice and his daugther. Kent tries to console him but Steven was in no mood to listen to him and even starts to holler at Kent. I thought that Steven really needed somewhere to scream and shout his frustrations out. He really looked like he was about to burst anytime.

The family goes to cremate the baby while Fala peaks at them secretly from behind. Now I finally know who this scene was for. From the 1st episode, I just kept guessing who was the one who died but now I finally knew the answer. =(

Prepare lots of tissues for this episode. It made me so depress I kept thinking about it.. =(
