My Sweet Pianist

Chapter 2: Late for 4 years

Seychelle's POV

"Late ka na."

Ugghh... After 500 million lightyears. I heard the opening of the doors and of course, I wasn't surprised that it was him... Late... again.

"I'm not late. You said 7:30 exact, so here I am."

He spoke as he went inside and closed the studio doors and here I am standing up, reprimanding him and his tardiness.

"That's not what I meant. You should arrive early. Routine na namin 'yun ni Sir Migs."

"Well, I'm not him, okay? Dumating parin ako ng 7:30 sharp. So what's the big deal?" He asked reasonably.

"You're the big deal." Sagot ko nalang ng pabalang.

It's been a week since he started teaching me as the replacement to Sir Migs, pero talagang sinasagad niya ang pasensya ko. Pulos basics lang kasi ang tinuturo niya. He won't even let me play just one complete song without commenting. Pulos siya reklamo, kahit ginagawa ko ng tama ang mga tinuturo niya.

"I heard that." Seryoso niyang sabi.

"Buti naman."

"Ano bang problema mo? Isang linggo na tayong magkasama pero ganyan na kaagad ang ugali mo." He asked quite disappointed.

"Yun na nga e. ISANG LINGGO na ang nakakalipas." Pagdiin ko. "Isang linggo na nga tayong magkasama pero basics pa rin ang tinuturo mo sa akin. I'm not a beginner here. At isa pa, wala pa akong matino at natatapos na kanta dahil pulos ka reklamo."

"Wala palang matino ha? So look who's talking? And for your information, you need me more than I need you." He tediously leered.

"Sa totoo lang naman, hindi kita kailangan. I can learn by myself without help coming from you." I sneered at him.

"Such a greedy tigress." Pamimilosopo pa niya. He's such an arrogant hooligan and I'm really starting to lose my temper.

"Kung hindi ka seryoso sa pagturo sa akin, you better stay out of my way. May upcoming piano tour event ako at kailangan kong magseryoso."

"I am well aware of your piano tour event. I have all your schedules dahil binigyan ako ni Sir Migs ng copy."

"Naiinis na ako sa 'yo. Bakit ba kasi pulos basics palang ang tinuturo ma sa akin?! I've already mastered and memorized it for a billion times. And now I've been learning it again for days." Reklamo ko na.

"Gusto mo ng itigil ang pagpa-piano mo?" Pamimilosopo na naman niya.

"Gusto kong itigil mo na ang kalokohan mo."

"Hindi naman ako nagloloko. Importante lang kasi na hindi mo kalimutan ang basics."

"Sa tingin mo ba makakalimutan ko parin ang basics?"

"Well, you should've told me earlier." Tila may pang-iinis na sa tono ng pananalita niya.

Akma ko na sana siyang susugurin, nang kaagad din siyang nagsalita. "Chillax, Seychelle." He said as if mocking me.

"You really are getting on my nerves, Chris."

"Okay, okay. Hindi na kita tuturuan ng basics basta kumalma ka na." Biglang naging malambing ang pananalita niya.

"Calm? Now you want me to be calm?!" Singhal ko.

"Oo na, sige na. You're such a hard-headed pain in my--."
