Lidwina had never known a father figure since she was a child. All the men in her grandmother's house were referred to as uncles. Her peers and schoolmates refer to her as an illegitimate child. These words were first spoken to Lidwina when she was in the first grade of elementary school. Despite her lack of comprehension, she felt a twinge of mockery at her companions' exclamations. "Mama, what does the term illegitimate child mean?" she inquired cautiously. "Where did you get that information? Mama warned you not to hang out with those bad kids "said her mother, who did not respond. Lidwina had been thinking about her friends' jokes for days. They also inquire as to "where is your father?" and "you don't have a father do you?” The words have bothered her and kept her awake at night. She felt like she was carrying a big secret in her chest until she couldn't anymore. Lidwina once asked her mother, "Do I have a father?" "Where has my father gone?" Her mother's face became pale, and her lips trembled. "Of course you have a father; all children do." She said firmly, her teeth clenched. "Where, then, is my father?" "Why isn't he at home like the other daddies?" Sophia couldn't hold back her tears, so she sat down and sobbed without responding to Lidwina. When Lidwina saw her mother sobbing, she felt guilty for making her mother sad. "I'm sorry, Mom, don't cry, Nana won't ask about Dad..anymore..." Lidwina, too, wept. Lidwina has never asked Sophia since. She didn't want to upset her mother. Her only hope is that one day she will discover where her father is. "Perhaps he is my father," she imagines and fantasizes every time she meets a man. Her imagination ran wild until Lidwina formed a distinct image, the figure she referred to as the father. Her heart felt certain when she had grown up and met a middle-aged man. " Certainly, this is my father!" She passed out right away.
