My Sweet Pianist

Chapter 18: Visitor at the studio

I'm on my way to the studio since Chris won't be able to attend... AGAIN. He said he'll do some catch ups with his friends, the 12th P.S. Is that the reason why we're not seeing each other lately?  I almost thought they're a gang but Chris clarified that they're not. Although they're into fights from time to time as mostly their leisure time.

So if they're into fights, Chris is the one who's leading it? That's why he's almost unavailable to our studio hours?  Nung magkapasa't sugat siya sa labi dahil sa nasuntok siya ni Keon sa mall, mga ilang araw lang nawala naman din. Ang kaso, naalala ko ung pagganti ni Chris sa ginawa ni Keon. Sanay na siguro siya na mapasok sa labanan. But it's not proper for a man to be always a war freak.

But speaking of their brotherhood, they don't look like a brotherhood not until Chris introduced me to his friends. They said 12th P.S is an ancient Chinese kinship meant to protect China's eminence and culture.  But if they do, then why are they here in the Philippines? Aren't they're supposed to serve their purpose in China? I guess they're taking a long break? After all, they're still young. Men in their age should be having fun and not to be so serious in their lives.

By the way, Chris smacked those two knuckle heads  who almost made their moves on me, especially when they ate the whole Adobo that was supposed to be for him.

I parked my car and went to the studio.

"Ate Seychelle's here!" Bati sa kin ng isang student sa studio pagkapasok ko palang.

Nagsilapitan na ang mga bata sa akin. Mga nasa 7-15 years old ang mga batang ito. Karamihan sa kanila aspirants with pure talent. Nakakainggit nga lang kasi sa tuwing tapos na ang training, sinusundo sila ng mga parents nila. I wonder how it feels like to have my real parents supporting my career. But I'm still thankful that I'm blessed with a second family.

"Ate, where's Kuya Chris?" A nine year old girl in her pigtails asked me.

"Hindi siya makakapunta ngayon, Lacy e. But he'll promise that he will make it up to all of you and me as well." Ngiti ko naman.

"Asan na po ba si Kuya Chris? We miss him already." Aww.. ang sweet naman nila. May kaagaw na pala ako sa Twinkie ko. Haha!

"Aww... That's so sweet of you. I miss him too already."

"Ate Seychelle, I heard what happened on the mall. Kayo na po ba talaga ni Kuya Chris?"

Medyo nagulat ako sa tinanong nya. But I don't blame her since Lara is thirteen years old, romantic stuffs will likely excite her.

"Ah yun ba? I didn't know na umabot na rin pala yun dito. Haha. But yes, Lara. Kami na po ni Kuya Chris."

They all seem thrilled about it which I quite expected.

"Ate we're so happy for you! Sana next time nandito na siya!"

"Ate Seychelle and Kuya Chris fits perfectly for each other! Aayyiiieee!"

"Naku! Ang ku-cute ninyong lahat! Di bale, kukulitin ko si Kuya Chris niyo na pumunta dito."

"Yehey!" Sigaw nilang lahat.

"Ate Seychelle's here already???"

Lumingon kaming lahat sa nagsalitang lalaki. Tumakbo kaagad palapit ang mga bata sa kanya.
