Imee Marcos Duterte, the first born daughter of former president Ferdinand Marcos and former first lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos, a mother of three boys and the newly wedded wife of former president Rodrigo Roa Duterte.
"Hon, I told you mabilis lang naman ako sa Malacañang eh, besides kasama ko si liza kaya wag ka na mag-alala" Imee said to her husband, "sige na nga, ingat ka ha" Rodrigo said to his wife as he peck her in the lips "ehem, wala kayo sa kwarto nyo ha, wag kayo mag hasik ng lagim dito" Irene said to her sister and brother in law
"Tsk inggit ka lang, wala kayong bebe time ni Greggy" Imee retorted, Irene rolled her eyes and sat beside her husband, "anyway Liza did Celestine told you where she's going" Imelda asked her daughter in law "yes mama, she told me that she'll go to Clarisse and Tia sa Batac" Liza said "Clarisse and Tia Lapuz?" Greggy asked her cousin
"Yes that's what she told me earlier" Liza said "imposible, kasi nasa France sila ngayon" Greggy said to his cousin "alam nyo yung anak nyo, hindi na makausap ng matino sa totoo lang, she's scared to something but she can't or should I say she have no courage to say it" Aimee Marcos said to the couple, Liza and Imee decided to leave because they don't want to be late in their destination
"Alam mo tita ako din, I noticed it too, kasi one time diba yesterday nag punta kami sa Batac, I saw her sleeves kahapon it's full of fresh bloods" Carla said and Cara is just uncomfortable
"Cara do you know something about this" Bongbong asked his niece in law "p-po" Cara stuttered and Carla just looked at her "I believe you knew something hija tell me, what's going on with her" Greggy asked her
"Fine but please don't tell her that I tell you" Cara said to them as Imelda get her bucket of popcorn so she can have a snack while listening
"It all started when she got home from Laguna, I was about to call her when I saw her crying in the bathroom full of blood in her body and in the floor, that's all I'm going to say, because that's the only thing I know" Cara admitted it and everyone gasp in shock
"Does she have a problem" Rodrigo asked his daughter in law "all she said to me is that she's disgusted to herself" Cara said Greggy excuse himself leaving everyone alone
On the other hand, Imee and Liza already arrived in Malacañang of the north and they saw a familiar figure near the lake "is that Celestine" Imee asked her sister in law "I believe kasi, Celestine is the only person that I know who would wear longsleeve in this time of the year" Liza said
"Did I do something bad on my past for you to punish and torture me like this" Celestine shouted "First I don't have a mother's love, second I'm almost kidnapped when I was 11 years old, third I was almost abducted when I was 16, forth I'm almost raped last week and now this, I have a disease" Celestine said while crying
Both Imee and liza is shocked after her revelation "Celestine" Imee said and Celestine immediately wiped her tears before turning around
"Are they all true" Liza asked in shock "what you're probably hallucinating mama" Celestine lied "please Celestine be honest, kahit ngayon lang kasi hindi lang ikaw yung nahihirapan dito, pati kami, nahihirapan kami kakaisip kung ano na ang nangyayari sayo" Imee said to her niece and Celestine can't help but to breakdown
"I-i c-cant take it anymore" Celestine cried on Imee's embrace "I am tired of forgiving someone who's just abusing my kindness" Celestine said to her auntie "I'm tired of loving someone who don't even see my hardwork and efforts" Celestine admitted
"I don't want this anymore, I want to give up but I can't, I'm tired of receiving this kind of treatment, I'm almost raped" Celestine said and Imee and Liza can't help but to cry on Celestine's situation, they kept on thinking about their own problem forgetting the fact that Celestine is carrying a lot bigger one
"We'll talked about this at home" Liza said to her niece as they walked back in the car, the whole ride is so quiet only sobs can be heard as Celestine cried on Imee's embrace
They arrived at the house and they're shock that the whole family is present in the area, Irene immediately stand up and slap Celestine
"IRENE" everyone shouted "How could you Bully Sofia" Irene said to Celestine "what do you mean" Celestine asked her mother "sofia called me earlier she said that you're bullying her since last month" Irene shouted
"And you're believing that brat" Celestine shouted back, it made everyone shock, because Celestine would never fight back at Irene "so nasagot kana ngayon" Irene shouted while Greggy hugged Celestine
"Yes because why would I not if I'm just defending myself" Celestine cried while everyone remain silent "you are nothing but a mistake" Irene shouted at Celestine making shock "I wish you weren't my daughter" Irene shouted at Celestine "all of my dreams are ruin because of you" she added while Celestine cried on her father's embrace
"Do you really think I wanted a mother like you, who's selfish and ignorant" Celestine gathered all of her strength to fight back, she received a harsh slap from Irene after her remarks
"If you're blaming me because your dreams got ruined, it's not my fault if you and daddy made me at the first place" Celestine shouted "if you really wanted to get rid of me eversince the day you found out that you're pregnant with me, you could've aborted me so this problem is not happening right now" Celestine said to her mom
"Do you really think I never thought of it, Mommy and your father force me to keep you even tho I wanted to get rid of you" Irene said to Celestine "I wish that I have a daughter like Sofia who's perfect in everything" Irene compared Celestine again
"I'm sorry… I'm sorry that I'm not the best daughter that you wish to have, but you must admit that you weren't the best too, you must admit that you're not the best mother that every kid wish to have" Celestine cried as Irene remain silent
"Anak" Greggy said as he rubbed Celestine's back "you must admit that you've became a terrible mother" Celestine said "but did I complain or compared you to mama Liza, No, I love you so much despite your terrible parenthood" Celestine added
"Those anger is not about you being busy, those anger is not about you hurting me, those anger are from your absence as my mother" Celestine cried as she says those words
"Those anger are about you not being there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on, you weren't there for me when I needed you, I cry myself to sleep everytime I see you so happy with your students in PYSB or with sofia" Celestine cried "pero mommy, anak mo din ako, hindi mo ba naisip na yung mga panahon na yun lalo na nung muntikan na ako na-rape dahil sa irresponsibility mo, hindi mo ba naisip na mas kailangan kita nun" Celestine cried
"You know it's also my fault" Celestine said as Irene looked at Celestine, despite everything she have done, her daughter still managed not to blame her "It's my fault that I love you so much, that I forgot to love myself too, I forgot that I don't need you anymore, because you're the one who taught me not to hope that I'll ever receive the love that I needed" Celestine said coldly as she wiped her tears from her face
Irene looked at her daughter, all she could see was a person that she wasted after all those years, a person who never got tired of understanding her, a person that she knew that's strong was a soft and fragile girl, a person that's supposed be her daughter
Celestine leave everyone alone in the leaving room, Irene was petrified of what happened, her family including her husband left her alone to go to Celestine.
To be continue
