Chapter 2

Alexander Alfresco POV

"What's wrong with your face", My dad asked as he took a seat on a couch next to me.

"You look.. hungry", My dad continue taking his reading glasses on the coffee table in front of him.

"Evelyn!", My dad called my mom. I heard loud footsteps from the stairs. I stare at the stairs and saw my mom running down the stairs, catching her breath.

"What?! What's wrong?!", My mom walk slowly towards my dad. Still panting for breath.

"What happened to your son? Did you feed him this morning?", I glared at my dad. That awkward moment when your dad try to make a joke but it is not funny at all.

"Are you serious?", My mom rolled her eyes at her lovely husband.

"I thought something bad happen to Alex.", My mom fall on the couch tiredly, sighing.

My mom is not acting so extra or whatsoever. She becomes like this because of me. I have heart disease. That's why she always worried about me. Whenever my dad yelled for her, it's always about me.

"What's wrong dear?", My mom put her hand on my lap.

"Don't know.. I just feel.. um.. empty?", I leaned on the couch with my eyes fixed on the TV screen.

"Do what you love...", My dad said, flipping thorough the newspaper's page. "Like eating.", He continued.

My mom punched my dad's shoulder making him groaned in pain, rubbing his shoulder. "We both know it is not funny, Adrian."

"Mom!", I shoot up. My mom jumped a little.

"What?! What?!", She grabbed my thigh.

"I wanna play piano...", I looked at my hands, playing with my fingers, letting out a long breath.

"But you don't know how to play piano.", My dad said while putting down the newspaper on the coffee table.

"That's why! I wanna learn how to play."

"My friend knows how to play piano. His daughter is a brilliant pianist. Maybe he can help you" My dad folded his arms against his chest, smiling.

"That's good! At least now you can spend your time doing something beneficial. Not just sleep then eat then sleep again", My mom clapped her hands together, jumping a little in excitement.

I laughed at her comments. It's true. The first thing I do after waking up and taking shower is eat. Then I will go to the living room, watching TV, laying on the couch then I fell asleep. When I wake up, it's already lunch time.

After lunch I will watch movies or maybe korean drama. Don't get me wrong. I'm not gay but I need to admit, korean dramas are good. I will watch it with my mom. She is a big fan of Song Jong Ki, Park Bo Gum, Kim So Hyun and Lee Min Ho.

"So when can I start?", I looked at my dad, grinning like an idiot.

"I will call him at lunch time. He's busy right now.", My dad replied, tapping on his phone.

"Cool!"

I grabbed my backpack from my mom and hopped in inside of the car. "Be careful, dear." My mom waved at me before closing the door for me.

I smile widely and wave at her. "Shall we go, young master?" My chauffeur said to me. I nod slightly as a reply. And we drove to Mr. Francisco's house.

It was not a long ride. It takes about 5 minutes to go to Mr. Francisco's house. I can just walk to his house but since it's raining outside, my mom wants the chauffeur to sent me there.
