Chapter 36 – Reminiscing my Childhood

The sunshine woke me up in the morning. Caleb opened the window curtain last night. He never get tired to play games on me. This is why, we don’t have an actual conversations on things because we do a lot of silly things even kids don’t really enjoy and we do enjoy our bonding together. It feels like I have a brother that I can play with and annoy more often than he annoys me. “He’s unbelievable” I sigh and stretch and got ready to move. Caleb knew I have a schedule early so he does this kinds of things to not really get me late. Caleb has this habit of getting everything ready and be early.

I prepared myself to go to work because in a moment he’s going to barge in here and cause a lot of annoying stuff and I’ll be late because of him. I am currently eating my eat and browsing some feed on my iPad about the latest news on entertainment world right now. Mlope is trending again for his DUI case. He’s not gonna drive in the future if he keeps on doing this for that I should really look out for my future drinking habits but since Jona is literally everywhere I go when duty calls, I don’t really need to worry about my driving incidents frequently.

“Ariel Lone in dispute with Raven’s Business Company for Copyright Issues”. I can’t take my eyes of the article title about Ariel. I read all the statements regarding this articles and search about the recent business articles about Raven Publishing Company. I was reading it thoroughly when Caleb barged into my room and he showed me the article that I was reading. “Have you seen this? This is trash, you know” Caleb complained and sat down on the chair near the door. “I’m actually reading it. Have you talk to Ariel about this?”. he shrugged and that gave me the answer that he didn’t talk to her about this. “You’re worried about her. Just call her, bro” I said pushing him to call Ariel. “She left us. I don’t care if she goes to jail or not. She’s on her own” he said pouting but kept reading the article and I can hear him watching Ariel’s latest interviews. “Really? Is that the reason you can’t get your eyes on that interview?” I teased. He looked at me so seriously that I got goosebumps. “Chill, bro” I commented.

When he finished reading and watching all case related to her, he suddenly asked me “Why do you think she left us? I’m not angry or anything but I am so disappointed to hear that she left us because she wanted to focus more on gathering inspirations for her book. I mean, What kind of a mother are you to just throw your family behind for a book inspiration?” Caleb continued saying all the things he was disappointed for but he was crying. “You know, people have their own reasons. I don’t really know why though?” I replied. Eli knocked on the door and entered without waiting for my reply. “It’s time to go, you ready?” I smiled and she looks at Caleb asking him if he’s coming with us later this afternoon for an interview with Having a life Entertainment (HALE). Caleb looked at her still crying and said “No!” and continued crying. I gave Eli and eye “Bug him later”.

I arrived in “Just Hope for Life” studios for the December cover shoot. I am thankful that not many people came here and I like how few of the people only gathered here for this photoshoot. I told Eli to keep the staff controlled though many people are outside the studio to see me. I thought this was an orphanage or a church because of the name. We tried different outfits for today and everything turns out great and they are having a conversation on what should they do with the pictures because they are all fit for the magazine cover. In the end, they chose everything and made another copy of magazine for all my December looks. I agreed and Eli have another long conversation about business related and I just chill on my waiting room for now. After the shoot was over, I asked the photographer why the name sounded like different. He told me that the owner of this studio almost got hit by a lightning so he made a studio that is almost like a flash of lighting and said that he was thankful he didn’t get to see the other side that day. “That’s touchin” I commented.

Thoughts are piling over about that story. People are thankful that they are alive from a near death situation but why didn’t I thanked the god for rescuing me that day. My worst life scenario is, again, opens up like a movie scene and I feel like it’s coming back. That night was the hardest and the coldest of all the night I spent outside my house. I don’t know if it’s a trauma or something but that is the memory I am so afraid to let go because whenever I think about it, it reminds me of my cousin. “Stop the car!” I am barely breathing. My chest were so tight, I can feel my heart tightening. Eli asked me if I’m okay but she soon realized what condition I am in and asked the driver to drive us straight to the hotel. I can’t remember what she was doing after she asked the driver to drop us in the hotel fast because all I can see was entirely dark and I realized after that I collapsed again.
