00:00 Okay, so the story I uploaded yesterday is a recent incident.
00:04 I just went to Osaka this week.
00:07 When I arrived at Osaka, I received a message from my mum.
00:10 She said, "Just to let you know, 3 years ago, your dad went to Japan and he changed the white paper in your birth certificate."
00:17 I was shocked.
00:18 So I asked my mum if I could see the birth certificate.
00:21 She said she didn't have the birth certificate, so I asked her.
00:24 "Hello, Usman. My dad. When I saw it, the birth certificate was changed."
00:29 That's when I was shocked.
00:33 I was heartbroken.
00:36 Because until now, the birth certificate was empty.
00:41 It means that the birth certificate has my name and my mum's name, but my dad's name is not in it.
00:49 So it's empty.
00:50 So when we saw a birth certificate that was changed after 27 or 28 years,
00:56 I didn't understand why it had to be changed.
01:01 If he was sincere about his good intentions, why didn't he tell me earlier?
01:06 Why did he have to hide it from me?
01:08 For me, when the name was changed, it violated my personal rights.
01:12 Because as humans, we have our names.
01:16 Our names represent who we are.
01:18 So even though my name was not changed, when we changed it to my birth certificate,
01:23 it became different. I felt like my rights as a human being were violated.
01:28 And the saddest thing is that since I was a kid, the person who took care of me wasn't my dad.
01:32 It was a Chinese man, my godfather, who took care of me since I was a kid.
01:37 So when I saw this new birth certificate, it had the information of the baby, the mother, the father.
01:43 And below it, there was a witness.
01:45 A witness who gave the permission to change or a witness who validated the birth certificate.
01:52 And the name of the baby was the name of the father who took care of me.
01:55 Even though he didn't know anything.
01:57 So when he was suddenly harassed in this story, and when we saw the name of the person who took care of us
02:03 as a witness who gave the information, it was just too much.
02:08 It was like a violation.
02:09 We were patient, we accepted what he did.
02:11 But when it comes to hurting people that I love so much, it was a violation of my name.
02:17 Okay, at first, I didn't want to ask. I wanted to attack.
02:21 But then my friend said, "No, you have to ask him what his motive was, why he did that."
02:26 So I WhatsApped him and asked, "Why is your name on my birth certificate? Who allowed you to do so?"
02:31 So we were hoping for an explanation.
02:33 "Oh, I have a good intention, I want this."
02:35 We were hoping for an explanation, but what I got was a very painful statement.
02:41 He said, "My call. Without my genes, you won't be here. So be thankful."
02:47 Oh, he said, "Without my genes, you won't exist."
02:49 He meant that without his genes, I wouldn't exist.
02:53 So it was like, is this how a father should answer questions to his daughter?
02:58 Okay, when did you start to complain? I mean, last year or last two years, right?
03:02 For 27 years, I complained every day.
03:05 He didn't tell anyone, "You're my dad."
03:07 Complaining, asking for my consent.
03:09 "No, no, no."
03:10 But when we got our name, we had our own name in the industry, he was also open-minded.
03:16 I think we respected that. We were so happy.
03:18 He tried. He tried so hard to be a father.
03:21 But the truth is, he never was a father in my life.
03:25 So, for example, today you're 30 years old, and you suddenly have a career,
03:29 you want to be a father, you must be feeling uncomfortable.
03:32 So, after we finished the statements we gave, we went on talk shows and everything,
03:38 after that, it was over.
03:39 Our relationship ended there, and then we didn't talk.
03:41 From 2020 until this week, we didn't talk at all.
03:45 We didn't go to parties. That's it.
03:49 We went out to eat for a meal, that's all.
03:53 That's it.
03:55 Before I asked for his explanation, I asked my mum,
04:02 "Why did you let him do this?"
04:04 She said, "Oh, maybe he had good intentions."
04:06 For me, if he had good intentions, he would have discussed it with us.
04:09 If he had good intentions, he would have told us at that time,
04:11 not just kept it a secret for years.
04:14 For example, if I didn't tell him this week, I would never know forever.
04:17 Until when would I not know?
04:19 If he didn't want to explain, at least he would have talked to my mum,
04:22 told her why he did that.
04:23 So, he didn't give my mum any explanation.
04:26 When I asked him, he said, "My mum is at fault too, because she knows."
04:29 So, if the whole world wants to be blamed, my mum must be blamed too.
04:32 So, I didn't understand.
04:34 I just wanted to know why he did that, and all I wanted was an apology.
04:39 I asked my mum, I said, "I'll give him one week to apologise to me,
04:42 and explain to me."
04:43 When my mum said she didn't want to apologise, she didn't want to explain.
04:45 She said, "It's all in the past now."
04:47 That's how it is.
04:48 [silence]
