I am Novie Duwiz the youngest daughter of 8 siblings, we live in the province of Negros Occidental, and our life is simple. We ate 3 times a day but when my dad was transferred from a different place and mom and us the 8 siblings left in our Province, our lives became horrible. we don't know what happened but sometimes we don't have food to eat on our table. Mommy didn't know where to get food for us, so she went to look for our father. a month ago, our elder siblings decided to work while studying. for them, it was tough to look for food while studying and taking care of us. I didn't understand all of these struggles at that moment because I was just so tiny. all I know is to play and eat.
my other siblings stopped studying and continue working they just finished high school graduate. for them, it is enough so they could look for a penny to feed us. some siblings got married at a younger age so they ran for the responsibility. Maybe they were tired.
When we transferred to Manila, my mommy worked so hard. She became a housekeeper, cooked, and a helper to a family. so she gave us food to eat and send us to school too. It was not easy for me to stay in that house, because the children of her boss mistreated me. I was rejected many times and bullied. I cannot say it directly to the owner of the house because they were nice to my mommy and me. but suddenly, they accidentally noticed it when they bullied me and harassed me, we all thought that they left already to work, my mommy is not there too, but working in a kitchen. the first time, they forgot the key to their car so they returned, and they saw me crying and being bullied by their children.
they were shocked and felt sorry for me. so the big boss hugged me. my mom decided to leave that place and looked for another place to work but she send my other elder siblings to work for her.
My Ate Nasha took care of me while all are away with my younger brother Ben. I was also bullied by them, threatened and beaten if i don't want to sleep in the afternoon or i don't want to eat, or slowly eat. My life was really miserable. I was so helpless. when I grow older and became a teenager. I need to protect myself from harm, I secretly studied martial arts so I can defend myself from strangers. At home, I make sure my brother was not there before I came out to my room. I don't want to interfere with them.
I became aloft. Then my dad returned, He promised me to go to school for college. so choose the school for me it was a beautiful university. I met friends there, but not all are good, they were just pretentious. My mom doesn't want me to have a boyfriend, so I keep my promise until 26 years old not to have a boyfriend. even though they were a lot of men longing for me at school. when I enter 27, I got so bored and accidentally bumped into a man that i don't know
