THEODORE

There is something about games that erases the loneliness within me.

I grew up in a big family. Four big brothers and me, the laziest boy they ever had. I have a simple view in life. I get contented in every little thing that comes my way. I don't think there's a need to get busy and busy, when there are far easier and comfortable careers to pick.

Or maybe... I was just privilege to feel it.

My family aren't publicly known but they strive hard to be. They create connections as much as they can, store secrets as long as its needed and sell those information for influence and higher power. In the high dynasties of Salvallons and Villamors, my family also wanted a taste of that glory and fame.

Kaya naman malaki ang expectations ng magulang ko sa bawat anak niya. Terrence should be a lawyer, Travis must be a doctor, Thomas has to be a good and powerful business man! Then there's Theodore who...

"Talaga bang hihiga ka na lang diyan buong maghapon? Your brother is trying to make connections out there and you're going to play... stupid games?!"

I watched as Papa slap the controller out of my hand. Gumawa ng ingay ang pagtapon nito sa sahig bago nawasak sa may dingding. His disappointed look burned through me and I avoided it, opting to stare at the monitor where my character was being murdered.

"Nalaman ko pang nagskip ka sa isang klase mo! Kaklase mo pa sana doon ang panganay ng Salvallon! Dapat nakipag-usap ka sa kaniya, hindi na natutulog-tulog ka lang diyan!"

He only approaches me on times like this. He's only aware of his fifth son whenever it has something to do with the damned family's reputation. Most of the time, he doesn't even care I existed.

I've been skipping classes for a week. Maganda kasi ang shade doon sa may likod ng hardin kaya gusto kong matulog do'n. Nakakapasa naman ako sa mga exam at may okay na grado kahit hindi laging pumapasok kaya walang problema. Pero nagkaroon lang ng pakialam ang ama ko nang malamang kaklase ko ang Weston na 'yon.

Psh. Ni hindi nga laging nakikita 'yon kasi ang aga-aga umuwi. Mukhang okay naman siyang kaibigan pero napapagod ako 'pag nakikita ko si Dierran. Ako na 'yong gustong magpahinga sa dami ng ginagawa niya.

"Theo..."

Huminto ako sa pagbabasa nang marinig ang boses ni Kuya Travis. He's the second child who has to appeal to the Salvallon family. He looks exhausted and I know he badly wants to sleep if not for Papa's weekly family dinner which will be posted in sites after in order to boost our image.

"Papa needs you down there. The photographers are coming in a while."

"Kuya, marami pa po akong pictures," humikab ako at uminat sa kama. "Pinadelete din po ni Papa social accounts ko kaya 'di ako pwede magpalit profile picture."
