Loving A Student-Athlete

Chapter Two

JJ's POV

"Hi mom, dad" bati ko sakanila habang kumakain ng almusal.

"Good morning Jay, lets eat" bati sakin ni mom at dad.

Naupo na ako at nung kukuha na ako ng pagkain ay biglang tumayo na si mom and dad.

"Baby, we need to go may meeting pa kami" sabi ni mom at hinalikan ako sa pisngi.

"Sorry Jay, we'll make it up to you" sabi naman ni dad at hinalikan ako sa ulo ko bago magmadali lumabas.

Everyday na lang di na kami nakumpleto kahit sa almusal lang. They are so busy with the firm at wala na silang time sa akin. They built the firm since its their dream. My mom is the engineer and my dad is the architect. College pa lang sila yan na ang dream nila.

I envy my friends, most of them kahit may mga business ang parents nila ay they see to it na sabay sabay silang kumakain, tapos ay kamustahan ng araw habang kumakain. Samantalang ako, wala. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at them, its just that there are times na ang dami kong gustong ikwento pero wala akong mapagkwentuhan. Its sad but they make up to me by buying me everything I want. Only child kasi ako eh.

Some of my friends want a life like mine. Bakit? Kasi I have everything, I have three different cars, a sedan, a pick up, and a van. I have my own house. Yes, you read it right. I have my own house inside our village, but my parents told me na magagamit ko lang yun pag may sarili na akong pamilya. Its just next door, so mababantayan ko pa rin sila when they get old.

They never failed to provide my needs, I am studying in one of the great schools here is QC. Whatever I want they always support me, I remember when I was still on high school, I asked them kung pwede ba ako matuto maggitara. Then the next day they got me a music tutor.

I learned to play piano, violin, saxophone, guitar, and drums. Then I want to learn how to drive, so as early as 16years old they gave me a car and asked our driver to teach me.

I want to play basketball so nagtry out ako at naging varsity player pa ng school, but after getting a championship for the school I quit.

I don't know pero pag magaling na ako sa isang bagay I easily got bored. But not in my acads, I love studying.

I let out a deep sigh remembering how lonely I am and how ironic my life is. Di lahat nabibili ng pera.

"Magisa na naman ako kakain" I said to myself.

I stood up and called all the maids that we have and our driver para may kasabay akong kumain.

Sila ang madalas na kasabay ko kumain. At least kahit papano may nakakasabay ako.

Breakfast went well, as the dining area was full of laughter. Makukulit kasi mga maid namin, mga kalog, karamihan ay dalaga pa. Pero si manang Cely ang tumatayong mayordoma namin. Si manong Fred naman ang driver namin na madalas kong kasama sa mga lakad ko.

Pagkatapos kumain ay naligo na ako at inayos na ang gamit ko sa pagpasok.

Its just our second week pero stressful na ang acads. Homeworks, paperworks, thesis, and reporting. Lahat yan halos sabay sabay ang deadline. Great, right? Maybe ganyan talaga pag graduating student ka.

I checked my phone.

Nothings new. No new notifications. No good morning messages.

I grabbed my car keys at nagpaalam na papasok na.

Few more minutes andito na ako sa school, pagbaba ko ng kotse maraming tao ang nagtitinginan. Bakit?

Kasi gwapo ako.
