YEAR 2013
( Nazi Germany )
ELLIEZ's POV
Me and my mother decided to move here in Nazi Germany for a reason. Germany is where my mother's descendants, so I chose this place to live.
My father was against about it but end up agreeing because IT'S ME WHO'S ASKING FOR IT.
We moved here since 2009, I was 11 years old, months after my elementary graduation.
I really miss my life in Davao City but I have to be away. I chose to be away.
My siblings never forgets to visit me, every important events of my life, they come to visit with my father.
But of course, I also visits them during long school breaks. I love Davao City so much. It's my first home.
My mother's friend who is a film director from the Philippines came to Germany to visit. My mother invited him a dinner to welcome him here in Germany.
" Sabeth, it's such a long time since we've seen each other. How's my inaanak? " - a very excited Jerry Lopez Sineneng (Jerry S.) exclaimed while looking at me.
" She's fine, very smart and strong like her father " - Mama (My parents relationship was civil, they continue being friends after getting divorced. Which is good I guess?)
" I'm okay naman po Tito " I respectfully showed my smile.
" Very beautiful talaga like her mother " Tito Jerry said.
I met my mother's eyes and smiled awkwardly ... really? (My Mama is way hell gorgeous)
" really po? Thank you po " I replied.
"Ay yes, so magalang Sabeth ha very far from an image of a Duterte " - he rebutted.
"Ay wag mo lang susubukan, lumalabas din " My mom jokingly replied. Aba'y binulgar pa ako HAHA
Well, I'm good naman to people who are also mabait. But of course, I am my father's daughter after all hehe.
"Anak, I've heard you're into theater? " Tito Jerry asks.
"Ay yes po but I do no longer doing theater since last year po. " I replied shyly.
" Why naman? I've watched some of your performance ha! You're good " he said " thanks to your mother who consistently updating me " he continued.
" Hehe thank you po Tito but I don't think it fits me well po kasi eh " looked at my Mom asking for help. I don't feel like talking about it HAHA.
Our conversation continues until it gets dark outside and its time for them to go back to their rented house. Actually, my mother offered our house but they already paid for their rents until their last days here in Germany.
"Anak, are you okay? " Mama asks.
" Yes Ma, I just can't help think of it " I replied.
" Shrug that off, it doesn't matter anyways " she hugs me as she comforts me. " Okay, prepare yourself to bed na. Maaga pa tayo bukas " she continues.
" Why? " I curiously asked.
" You're Tito Jerry asked if we could join them tomorrow and I said yes? " she informed me.
" Oww, okay. Good night Ma, love you " and went up in my room to prepare myself to sleep.
My life here in Germany is freer than in Philippines, I must admit.
I don't need securities here , no death threats and toxicity. No pressure of becoming who I want to be.
I'm just a teenager who's enjoying my life very well.
I'm in the middle of my skin care routine when my phone rings.
It's a group chat video call.
As I saw the group name I immediately answered it.
"DUTERTE's LIVING LEGACY" haha we are indeed his legacy.
" Bunsooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, how are you na? I miss you na jud " Ate Sara.
I laugh with his welcoming remarks. HAHA
" trueeeeeeeeee! Can't wait to see you na bunso in the next 2 months, Did you miss your gwapong Kuya Bast " Kuya Baste. (mimicking conyo pips)
Well, one thing I'm really grateful for, are these people. They never left me after all the dramas in our lives. They continue being my loving Kuyas and Ate.
" Hay nako, dili kamo ang na miss ana. Ako ang namiss ana, diba bunso? " haysst Kuya Pulong doesn't stop making asar with his younger siblings. That's what Kuyas are made for, inisin ang mga nakakabatang kapatid.
I just watched and listen them as they argue whom did I miss very much ( siblings is life but skin care is lifer HAHA )
Well, I missed all of them SO MUCH. It was 5 months ago when we last saw each other on my gallery exhibit here in our school. Very supportive sibling diba?
" I miss all of you po anubaaaaaa! All are equal, no worries HAHA " I finally said as I finished my night routine.
" thank you for ca --- " I was cut off when someone joined the call, it was my father. Rodrigo Roa Duterte, with Tito Bong Go on his side always.
My mood suddenly changed when I saw his face in the frame. My siblings usually call me at this hour because they know our father is already sleeping by this time around.
After my sudden decision of coming here in Germany, my relationship with Papa changes. I am no longer called "Papa's girl" in our family.
Since my departure in the Philippines, no one knows where I am now. My family kept it very private as much as possible, it was my last request before I moved here ( No posting and tagging of my photos, my social media accounts are private and my username is different HAHA ). Every time I would visit them in Davao, it's always in an intimate gathering, just us and I love it that way. I want to be out of politics. Periodt.
" Hi! Miss you darling " he greeted.
" Hello! Good evening Papa " and there's an awkward silence ... " uhmm sibs, gotta go. We are maaga pa bukas eh, love you and miss you, Byeieeeeeeee " showing a big smile and immediate ended the call without waiting for their response.
" I missed you too, Pa " before finally turned off the phone and sleep.
Papa I'm so sorry but I'm not ready yet.
