Hi. I am Yelena Montero. 23 years old. Slim, tall, intelligent, quiet, shy, and kind. A fresh Fine Arts graduate. Cum laude.
Many say I am perfect. Some of my classmates even openly say they wish they were me.
I just smile at them everytime. They don't know anything. They don't know that behind the intelligence and beauty they envy, hides a sad heart.
I am an only child. My mother is a single mom. According to her story, she met my father in the city, and he pretended to be single. They fell in love, and I was the result. But that's when my mother found out he already had a family— a real family with five children. So I am an illegitimate child.
My mother left my father. Since then, I have never seen him.
From then on, my mother's two siblings, my Aunt Ediza, who is very stern, and my Uncle Jimmy, who is very strict, helped raise me.
My mother worked for me while I stayed under the care of my aunt and uncle. Even though they pitied me, I could feel their animosity. I experienced bullying. They often said that one day, I would become like my mother— a mistress.
They looked down on me.
That hurt me. Especially since my mother kept having boyfriends, different ones.
I, who had nothing to do, got involved in her actions. Still, I love her. I love her so much. That's why I studied hard. I made sure I was always at the top. I obeyed my aunt and uncle's rules— I didn't have vices, didn't hang out, didn't court anyone, and dressed neatly like a proper young lady. I limited myself, with a routine of home-school-church only so that even if others said my mother was a bad woman, she was still a good mother because she raised me properly.
I was happy. I knew what I was doing was right. But somehow, it felt like something was wrong.
I have many friends, but I don't get to see them in person. I don't attend school events. I haven't tried smoking or drinking. I don't know what it feels like to be courted or to hold hands. I haven't experienced going out. While others have many stories, I have none.
Am I even human?
Am I normal?
It seems not. In everything, I think about what my aunt and uncle will say. In their eyes, I must not make mistakes.
But sometimes, being good is tiring. I want to experience making mistakes too.
I'm not serious, but I want to do these things without thinking about what my relatives and others will say.
A list of a woman who wants to rebel.
1. Try a tattoo
2. Wear a sexy dress
3. Go to a far place
4. Enter a bar
5. Experience "walwal" (partying hard)
6. Dance with a stranger
7. Kiss that stranger
8. Let the stranger kiss you back
9. Be wild
10. Make love

(An excerpt from ROOT OF REBELLION chapter)
Rebellion is normal for teenagers as part of early development. Even children who were raised in the church will go through rebellious stage. I thought I will not be included, but here I am. I'm not an exemption. Even good girls have shortcomings like everybody else.
I have so many issues . . . no one cares.
I think I'm missing something . . . no one understands.
I want to try a lot of things . . . no one's there to help me out.
