"Rediscovering the Forgotten Legacy: The Daughter of One of History's Greatest Pianists."
"The Talented Girlfriend..."
"The Heir of the Enriquez Legacy..."
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!
Napabangon ako sa kama ko nang mabasa ang sinend ni Cana sa akin... oh my ghad... Nagkalat sa internet yung performances ko, tapos yung mukha ko, tapos yung mukha ng papa ko... oh my God! Anong nangyayari?!
Tumakbo ako pababa para magpunta sa dining hall dahil alam kong nandon si lolo.
"Lolo!" agad kong sabi nang makita ko sya. He was reading a newspaper... at yun din ang headline!
"Look at you... you're famous!" sabi ni lolo sakin tapos tumatawa-tawa pa.
"Lolo..."
"These are good news my dear..." itinabi niya ang newspaper at saka naglakad patungo sakin at dinala ako sa upuan ko para makapag-breakfast.
"Pero lolo... the names of my parents will surface... I..."
"They were in the news even before you were born... it's just that their prime has long gone, then you came... it's now your turn." sabi ni lolo sakin. Pinagsandukan naman niya ako ng fried rice. "I am so proud of you, seeing you on that stage, playing violin and piano... parang pinababalik mo ang kabataan ko nung mga panahong nagj-judge pa ako sa mga contest. I still do... but not all the time, I had to refuse them... I have important matters to do."
"Lolo... hindi na matatahimik ang buhay ko niyan."
"Bakit mo kase ginalingan? Piano department ka ba? Hindi diba? Nag-volunteer ka, and that was an open space where everyone sees your talent..."
"Hindi ko naman po ginalingan..."
"See, you think you're being humble? Nagyayabang ka sakin ngayon!" Napanganga naman ako sa mga rason sakin ni lolo... Tunog mayabang ba yun?
"Lolo! This is soooo wrong! Kasalanan ko bang may natural talent ako?" Parang ito yung part na mayabang?
"This kid, now you sound like your mom!" Napakamot naman ako sa ulo ko. Silence came between us then he started laughing... his laugh echoed around the house. Nagkatinginan naman ang mga maids... pati ako, question mark yung utak ko. "Oh... I miss this... na para bang nagkakaroon na uli ng kulay ang bahay na ito."
He must've miss my mom, his daughters. He looked at me.
"This is an opportunity... if you want to have something that only you can possess, grab it... I know you still feel guilty about enjoying everything while they're six feet under... but my dear... they support you from wherever they are, just enjoy the journey that was given to you. Embrace it."
I got confuse, I knew. I'm stuck between having everything with my own gain tapos ngayong nasa harap ko na, tinatanggihan ko naman. Tama si lolo... he's right, he sees right through me... baka nga guilty lang ako sa mga nangyayari... I should do this because they inspire me... they're the reason and will always be the reason why I was able to achieve everything... they're my very first stepping stone...
I nodded.
"You're right lolo... thank you at nandyan kayo to guide me... you're right..."
"I'm always here..." sabi niya. We continue to eat our breakfast and talked about the things that matters.
Pumasok ako sa school at as usual hinatid ako ng driver, bumaba ako sa normal kong binababaan since hindi naman ako nagpapahatid sa loob dahil medyo flashy nga tong kotse kahit na sedan lang to... Pagkababa ko ng sasakyan ay may mga lumapit sakin na reporters...
