The pregnancy was difficult, and I had to stay bedridden for months. Pieter stayed by my side, taking care of me and our seven year old Putu." "During this time, we grew even closer, finding strength and solace in each other's love. We talked about our hopes and dreams for the future, imagining a world where Dutch and Balinese cultures could coexist in harmony." "After a long and arduous labour, I finally gave birth to our second child, a beautiful baby girl with a head full of jet-black hair. Pieter could hardly contain his joy and love for me and our new bundle of joy, Ni Made Putri." "We each gazed down at our daughter, Ni Made Putri Isabella. As we did, we felt a renewed sense of commitment to each other and our family. Pieter vowed to always protect and care for me and our children. I appreciated this, but reminded him that this changed nothing. I would continue fighting for my people's rights and freedom."
