[3rd Person POV]
April 12, 2020, the second month of the COVID-19 Pandemic, in the land called the Philippines, in one of its largest hospital Intensive Care Units, the blipping sounds of the heart rate monitor can be heard in a white-walled room in which a man is drowning in his breath despite him being supported by a breathing device and a giant tank of oxygen.
The COVID-19 patient has a handsome appearance, those appearances of men who laid their hands with numerous women, yet he is as innocent as he gets for he is just ten years of age, though if an adult woman who is well versed in looks is to see him, she will immediately see the bright and women filled future of the child
But unfortunately, this bright future, he will never reach.
He calmed his breathing, though wheezing sounds coming from his lungs can still be heard, he just stared at the ceiling ignoring the strange sound coming from his chest, knowing that he is beyond salvation, knowing that this day will be his last.
He stared at nothingness as he started to think about his past.
The genius of the Segundo Orphanage.
The reincarnation of Rizal.
The Promised Child.
Those titles and praises among many others have rained down on the life of Emilio, who seem to just able to master anything and everything that is thrown into him, literature, academic, sports, online gaming, you name it all.
However, even in his childhood the people around him already knew that he is special, for Emilio, no matter how much it sounds farfetched, hell this occurrence was portrayed in a Japanese fiction manga, it is the truth.
Emilio, at the age of three months of age, an age for a newborn, very far away to be independent, let alone utter a word, said the word "Father"(As in the priest). At this moment, the whole orphanage knew that he will be a genius growing up, and alas he did become one.
He became the top of everything he did, he got accelerated from grade to grade every year and became the youngest sixth grade in his country, became a champion in UN letter writing completion that earned him a UP scholarship by which he excelled, became a Math Olympiad competitor in a very young age of eight and become a high school student two years later, the reason two years has passed before he became one is that, a child in the single digit of age cannot enter high school.
He is a generational talent, some people even said that Emilio is a "bug in the system", a person of immense talent that should never exist, but then again, Filipinos have a great fondness for achievements (Author is saying this based on personal experience) and thus cannot just hate him because he is more talented than normal people
He is the ideal child, any mother would crave this kind of son that will bring them the glory of raising such a prodigious child.
But then, here comes a question, a question that every person in the world who are in the field that Emilio ever participated in and dominated who knows him, personally or competitively has in their minds.
Why is Emilio still an orphan?
Why he still doesn't have an adoptive mother despite him being the best prospect for it?
He is very famous, he is intelligent beyond imagination, he is athletic for his age, and more importantly, despite him being showered by ocean waves of praise, he remained courteous, respectful, and humble.
It is simply just unimaginable that anyone won't desire such a child, but no, it's as if no one wanted him and in all of his competition only his first name "Emilio" is present and he doesn't have a surname, signifying that Emilio doesn't have parents and still an orphan.
