I was born out of marriage. My father worked abroad as a seafarer and my mother was a cashier in a convenient store. They got married when I was in 2nd year high school. The relationship between my parents were like of the drama series shown in the television. Papa will always have an affair with different women at work and while in vacation. I once saw Mama crying and asked her how does she take it...Knowing that Papa had other girlfriends during their early relationship and had abandoned her during her pregnancy with me. " I thought what would I say to you if you ask where is your papa, I don't want to say that he is dead." That was her reply. Every time that they will fight because of Papa's affair and see how it hurts Mama, I wish that I have never been born, I say to myself that it is because of me that this woman is hurt and is abused.
