Life at "Fifteen"

I have experiences in life. I could say it's the most unexpected to happen. In my whole life I didn't expect with this kind of scenarios would happen to me but I am so much grateful that I experience with those kind of scenes in life.

When I was in highschool, my parents decided to transfer us with my siblings in another school. I was really hurt since I don't want to but I don't have a choice because it was my parents decision. I was really sad that time because I will miss my relatives, friends and I will miss our house. It was a heavy days that time.

When it was the day of our travel, my aunt assisted and accompanied us for waiting the bus. I couldn't understand what I felt. I saw my aunt reaction, she was really sad. When the bus was already there, I saw my aunt crying. She was deeply hurt but she didn't have a choice because it was my father's decision. He wanted us to live in his place.

It took 2 days before we arrived in their province. It was the time, we met our grandparents for the first time at father's side then my aunt's and uncles. They were all kind and they welcome us. I like them but at first I felt shy. We didn't have our own house that time so we decided to live in the house of our grandparents. The one I was shocked because there was no neighbor. It was only their house built there that's why if it was already 5 pm, we must already inside in their house since it was really dangerous for us.

It was the time also that my parents started to built our own house, 30 steps from my grandparents house. When it was done except inside the house, we started to pack our things and transfered to our newly built house. We were all excited that time. We arranged all the things there. We were so happy and our life there was very simple unlike the place of my mom. We don't have a neighbors also.

After 2 weeks, our parents decided to work in Manila, both of them. They said, they should work both for us and to save for our house so that it will finished fastly. At first I have a lot of hesitations but I realized that I need to be strong for our studies and for my siblings too since I am the eldest. My parents told us that during night, one of my aunt will accompany for us then I was calm when I heard it.

When they travelled already to Manila, I cried and full of sadness. It was my first time that my mom leaving us for work since my father was only working far away from us. At the first time, it was really hard. I was a second year highschool that time. I was fifteen. I was the one who budget for our expenses and for the allowances in our studies. My second sister that time was 1st year highschool, my youngest was Grade 1.

At school days, I always wake up early to cook our breakfast then my second sister was the one who accompanied my youngest sister to took a bath. When they finished already, they were wearing their uniforms and ate their breakfast then it was the time for me to took a bath. After I was done, I will ate and prepared for school. We took first our youngest sister in her school.

When it was already 4 pm, I will wait my second sister and went home. We will fetch first my youngest sister. If we were already at home, I will change my clothes and walked to the kitchen to start cooking rice and our viands. My second sister will be the one who washed the dishes then after we will rest a bit then took a half bath. After it was the time doing our assignments and studied our lessons. I always teach my youngest sister and assisted her. We were also helping with her projects. Sometimes we watched also at television. I remember our favorite that time was GMA Kapuso. After that, it was time for bed. We pray always to our almighty God before we sleep.🙏

To be continue...
