I am atypical guy.

I'm not a circle of attention. I am incognito.
I love music, I love watching sunset.

Habang tinitingnan nila ang mga magagandang bagay sa paligid nila, I am watching the different side of the world.

They used to identify views around them because of those vile and simply appreciated them while I knew how to see imperfect things and quite value them.

Kumatok muna ako sa study room bago pinihit ang door knob para buksan ang pinto.

"What's the urgent, Dad? "

Bungad ko tapos maupo sa upuan na kaharap ni kuya Chase.

"We're going to held a family gathering the next month. I invited some of my friends in media"."Hunt(Chase) shall stand next to me because I'm going to announce it to everyone that he's going to be the next president".

Pahayag niya.
"That's it? "

Naka-cross arms na tanong ni Haze. "And as the 'head' of this family no one has the right to question me".
Matigas ang tonong turan ni Dad na puno ng awtoridad.

Well, obviously he's a man full of power.

Nanatili lang akong walang imik sa inuupuan kong silya.There's no use of speaking up by the way, para saan pa bang napasali ako sa pamilyang ito even if everyone knows that I'd never had a place in here.

Binalingan ako ni Dad.

"I wat you to follow Hunt in every step of his way. Make me proud so that I can introduce you to everyone as a Don Valle".

Ironic-gusto niya akong maging anino ng paborito nyang anak. Hindi ako umimik, besides I have no right to.

"Sabagay, ano nga naman ang aasahan ko sa katulad mo? ".He taunted.

"You're weakling, mahina ka para maging isang Don Valle at hindi ko kailangan ng mahinang katulad mo".

I know, I barely know at hindi nya na kailangan pang sabihin yun because he had said that too much na yun na ang naka-ukit sa bawat himaymay ng sistema ko.
If I could not be a Don Valle then I couldn't be his son.

Naikuyom ko na lang ang kamao sa gigil, I released a deep sigh as I tried to compose myself.
Tumikhim muna ako bago tumayo.

"Kung tapos na po kayo,aalis na po ako".
Marahas nyang naihampas ang kamay sa mesa na nasa kanyang harapan.

"How many times do I have to remind you? As long as you're living in this house which I-I owned, you have to prove yourself to me".
"I keep this family tact so all you need to do is be a Don Valle"

Mariin nyang pahayag, pinikit ko ang mga mata para pakalmahin ang sarili. This arguments never ends,his words pierced my every breathing.

Parang sinasabi n'yang wala ng ibang dahilan ng existence ko sa mundong ito but to be a Don Valle.

Why being his son always need an approval?

"That makes no sense , Dad. After all, kuya Rhyme ain't using our surname so ironically he is an Elivarro".

Singit ni Misty, our younger sibling. My princess.
