ILLUSTRATED BY BRANDO P. BANGA
In a small tribal community nestled amidst rolling hills and ancient traditions, lived two sisters: Soleng, the younger sister, often felt overshadowed by her Ate, who was revered as the keeper of their tribe's stories. Ate's role meant she couldn't touch the ground or engage in everyday activities like attending school or playing freely. At first, Soleng harbored jealousy towards her elder sister's status and the attention she received, believing her own life to be mundane in comparison.
However, as time passed, Soleng began to grasp the weight of her Ate's responsibilities and the sacrifices she made for their community. She realized that while her Ate held a special role, she yearned for the simple joys of a normal life, envying Soleng's freedom. This newfound understanding bridged the gap between them, fostering empathy and mutual respect.
In a heartfelt conversation, Soleng and her Ate shared their deepest desires and dreams. They made a promise to support each other in achieving their individual aspirations – Soleng in pursuing her education and exploring the world beyond their tribe, and her Ate in finding moments of freedom and joy despite her duties. Their bond strengthened through honesty and acceptance, illuminating the power of sibling love and the importance of embracing one's unique path in life.
