MOTHER'S LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL. Do you agree with this statement?I bet all of us will definitely say yes.No doubt,our mother is the best,their love is eternal and unconditional.Their love is not for sold and you can't buy their love even with the gold.So here we look at these two stories;A Great Injustice by Heah Chwee Sian and The Merry Maid by Jayakaran Mukundan.Hey,that's Dr Jaya! :)
What is uncondtional,people? It means to love someone regardless of their actions or qualities.In this context,it shows a mother's love for her newborn.Besides that,unconditional love is to describe love between parents and children,family members,friends in highly committed relationship.Mother's love places no limits or boundaries,expects nothing back and last but not least,does not set any terms and conditions on what it should be.Hey,it's free and pure!
Lets take a look at The Merry Maid story.The love shown by Lakshmi,a mother who had
abandoned her own daughter but actually she did not have the intention to "throw" away her
daughter.She has strong reason why she decided to give away the baby because at that
time,her boyfriend went to prison and she is poor and still studying.Therefore,she had nobody to
depend on and take care the baby.In my opinion,she did not do something that can harm the
daughter and she was willing to give away the baby to Johan's family.

She had registered herself at the maid employment agency so that she can meet with her
daughter after she had left her about 17 years ago.It shows that she never forgets her
daughter and did anything that would be so that she can meet her.Lakshmi is a rational
woman.After she had worked at Johan’s family,at first she had decided to take back her
daughter,Sakinah@Savitri.However,she did not do that.It would be the most selfish thing a
mother could do if she took the daughter back.It was not unfair for Datin.A caring,loving
and kind-hearted woman who had raised her daughter so well.
When Ah Nya told her mother about the pregnancy,she did not get angry like her husband.She
defended her daughter to be calm.For her,”Everyone makes mistakes.What done is done”.
She is supportive eventhough Ah Nya had committed a big mistake.Besides,she had promised
to take care of the baby together.
