Here's your story, adapted into a Western context with localized names, foods, and customs:

Upstairs, in her bedroom, Rebecca White was asleep.

But even in sleep, her brow was deeply furrowed-her rest was anything but peaceful.

Outside, the sky was overcast. Gray clouds hung low, casting a dull light into the

room.

Rebecca lay on a gently rocking chair, her pregnant belly rounding out her faded pajamas. Her mother, Jacquetta, sat beside her with a steaming bowl of chicken noodle soup. She scooped up a spoonful, blew on it to cool it down, then held it up to Rebecca's lips.

"It's not too hot now, honey. Here, have some."

Rebecca shifted her gaze from the window to her mother. "Why bother? We're not even keeping this baby... Why drink chicken soup?"

Jacquetta winced, her heart aching. "Don't say that. No matter what happens with the baby, your body is still your own. You need to stay strong."

"Come on now. Take care of yourself, okay? Open up."

Rebecca sighed, defeated by her mother's gentle persistence, and took a sip. After a moment, she said quietly, "Mom, Eddy hasn't called me in six months..." Jacquetta's hand trembled. Her eyes filled with tears, but she pretended not to hear.
