My Distant Star

Chapter 4

After ng iyakan session namin ni Mamo pumunta kami sa may garden area ng bahay niya at kasalukuyan kami nag aaway ni Chocnut sa pwet ng manok.

"Akina yan Ate mo ako!" sabi ko habang pilit ko inaabot yung tinidor dahil doon naka tusok yung manok. Potek kailan pa siya tumangkad ng ganito parang dati lang ang liit niya pa at ang payat niya ngayo ma muscle na siya tas ang tangkad na pag iiwanan ako. Eto naman si Mamo busy mag vlog. Feeling bagets pa si Mamo.

"Hay naku kayo talaga mga bata kayo. Mga darling tignan niyo etong dalawang ito parang bumalik sa pagka bata."

"Stop it Ma patigilin mo etong si Ate!"

"No! Mamo si Chocnut pag sabihan mo ibigay sa akin yung manok and please stop vlogging!" sabi ko pilit ko pa din inaabot ung manok. At bigla kong na alala mo may kiliti nga pa la si Chocnut kaya ayun na bitawan niya kaya dali dali ko eto pinulot sa damohan. Wala pa three seconds kaya pinagpag ko ng unti tsaka isinubo ng buo.

"Oh my gosh Avieryl ang dugyot mong bata ka! Wala ba nag papakain sayo?" gulantang na sabi ni Mamo habang nag vlog tas yung iba niyang katulong natatawa while Chocnut looks horrified by my action.

"Wala pa three seconds." sabi ko habang na nguya and I heard a familiar laugh; thus, I am stunned on my position. It's Eathan ang taong pilit ko iniiwasan and suddenly memories comes back.

"That's dirty. Bakit mo pa kinain?" I just ignored and mind my own business since he will never understand my situation. He was born with a golden spoon. Para sa taong katulad ko na mahirap bawat butil ay mahalaga na kahit madumi na kakainin ko pa din sabi nga nila beggars can't be choosy.

He sat beside me and offered me a bar of chocolate. "Gusto mo?" He said and because I was still famished I just accepted it. I heard him chuckle but I just ignored him.

Buong araw kami pumila ni nanay para mag audition kaya gutom na gutom ako but unfortunately hindi ako na pili. Umalis saglit si Nanay para umutang at magkaroon kami ng pamasahe sa pauwi. Hindi ko miawasan tumingin sa kanya he was just busy playing. Sana ganyan din ako wala ako kailngan problemahin yung pwede ako mag laro. Masaya naman ako kasama si Nanay kaso dahil sugarol at lasingero tatay ko na pilitan kami ni Nanay mag trabaho. Kada may audition pinapatulan namin ni Nanay para may pang kain kami. Kung tatanongin niyo ako bakit gusto ko mag artista dahil frustration ito ni Nanay. Muntik na siya maging artista pero na buntis siya ni Tatay. Model si Tatay dati kaya sila nagka kilala ni Nanay but because of his vices everything vanish just like the perfect world he has promised to Nanay. I just took a deep breathe kada maiisip ko kasi sumasakit lang ulo ko.

Nagulat ako nung biglang kinuha niya yung kamay ko "Here." He said at tsaka pinatong sa kamay ang mga lukot lukot na pera na mukhang galing pa sa alkansiya.

" Para saan it?" tanong ko sa kanya habang nakatitg sa kanya at na pa kamot na lang ito ulo.

"Well I heard your Mom borrowing money from the ate's and kuya here and I decided to smash my piggy bank at my Mom's office to give it to you."

Napayuko at na pa hawak ako ng mahigpit sa perang binigay niya. Pinipigilan kong ang mga luha ko bumagsak.

"Hey, are you ok?" He asked innocently. I calmed myself before answering him. After calming myself I look straight into his eyes.

"I'll pay pag sikat na ko." I said and his worried face immediately changed and he smiled brightly at me. Somehow I feel something strange in my stomach. His smile is like a light at the end of the tunnel.

"Yes! That's the spirit. We will be famous someday!" he said happily,

"Eathan, we have to go." His mom said and he immediately stand up.

"Bye, I have to go!" Tsaka tumakbo sa mama at papa niya kumuway ito bago ito tuluyan mawala sa paningin ko.

Tsaka biglang dumating si Nanay " Naku Avieryl paano ito may audition pa naman bukas. Wala ako mahiraman ng pera." Malungkot na sabi ni Nanay.

"It's ok Nanay someone lends me money."

I did not know that kid will change my life because of the money I was able to attend the audition and that project became my major break as a child actress. I grew up in front of the cameras and when I reached teenage I was fortunately paired with him at kababalik lang niya noon galing England since Eathan's family-owned my home network.

I woke up from my reverie nung biglang may dumamba sa akin bago ako bumagsak sa damohan naibuga ko yung buto ng manok at narinig ko isigaw ni Chocnut. I tried to dodge the attacks of this fluffy beast since he's trying to lick me. It's Spunky! Anak namin ni Eathan joke! Spunky is a golden retriver na ni regalo ko kay Eathan months before kami nag hiwalay ni Eathan sabi ko para may mag bantay sa kanya.

"Spunky stop! Sira skin care ko sayo!" Natatawa kong sabi habang patuloy niya dinidilaan. Tumigil lang ito nung hinatak ito ni Eathan at tsaka lumapit sa akin he offered his hand. I tried to look at his face pero na silaw lang and suddenly I felt a suffocating feeling. Kaya tinapik ko palayo yung kamay ni Eathan. Everyone was surprised by my action. I heard gasps from the rest of the people. Bakit sino ba naman ako para tanggihan ang isang Eathan Lurn Sorenser? Just like his mother said I am just a no body.

Dali daling tumayo at kinuha yung mga gamit ko. "I'm sorry I need to go." I said at tsaka tumakbo palayo. I heard Mamo at Chocnut calling me but I ignored  them and I immediately drive away from that place.
