DROWNING DESTINY

"When will you be gathering your self together?" Naizen pretends that he didn't see anyone, didn't hear anything and just walk his ass all the way upstairs to avoid the next words of his nagging mother. "Naizen Alvarez! Will you listen to me for once?!" He again heared his mom shouted from above but he is not the Naizen Alvarez if he will turn his head to see his mom. He was been called the hard headed member of this family and everyone in this house despises him — well not his mother. However, when he was about to lay his hand in his room's doorknob, a flying shoe landed in his hand that made him looked behind. And there, he saw his mother with her hand in her waist looking at him like she was so done of him. "Ouch!.. Hey, mom! Why did you do that? It hurts," he dramatically said but his so done of a mother didn't give a damn. His mother just grabbed and pinched his ear without even having a second thought of doing it. Naizen is groaning and complaining because of the pain yet his mom pretended like she didn't hear anything. Damn! He is not a kid, he can even make a kid — what? What the f*ck is he thinking? "I was talking the sh*t out of you and you acted like I was invisible. Now, I will show you I am not a freaking invisible!" He almost choke himself while holding his self not to let his laugh out loud after hearing his mother cursing the sh*t ouf of him. He was always making fun of his mother and his mom always fell in his trap. "Mom, you know I am a well respected instructor and I do martial arts. Why would you even do this to me?" he begged. His 5ft and 2 inches mother is now enjoying her life pulling his 6ft ass down the stairs with his ear that he felt like anytime it would get snatched successfully. "How can you even be respected when you personally do not know what is respect?!" He laughed and that was his mother's queue to pinch his ear even harder and kick him to sit his ass on the chair. He held his ear when the moment his mother released it, it gets even more painful and sored. "Mom, it was painful," he said dramatically. "Do you even realize that you, acting such that is cringing the hell out of me?" his mother said and that made him laughed. He f*cking didn't expect that. "Mom, I didn't know you would look great saying such thing," he said while laughing his ass loud. "A-ouch!" groans after receiving a hard kick in his leg from his angry mother. His mother was always been his protecting him when he was a kid. He was always close to her but she is not always that strong. Because there are tons of time that she would turn the table that sometimes made him question the care his mother had for him. "When will you be pulling yourself together, Naizen?" Naizen stopped laughing the moment his mother's voice softened. It just means she is no longer messing up with him and she is saying anything serious. He pouted before making his eyes and face serious. He leaned his back and crossed his leg, rested his arm in the top back rest of couch. He is clearly hearing his mother saying thing but he is not listening. That's a different thing. "Your father can only ask you to take over the chair because ----" "Mom, I don't think I didn't tell you this, I am not interested with the business. I don't like business, why not ask Harry to be in that chair instead of me? Why are you guys bothering me about that? I have already made this thing clear to all of you," he said calmly but deeply. His mother is asking him because his father asked her too. He never liked it. He had training in their company yet he still don't like it and he knew he won't perform well if they will just force him to sit in his father's chair as the director of their company. "And I bet you already know what is the consequences of your words." He blinked when he heard that voice. That is the voice he always don't want to hear when he was a kid. That is the voice that always shivers his knee before but now, that is only a voice that can remove the only meaning of respect he knew. He turned his head around and saw his father in his busin suit. He indeed is looking intimidating, well, to other people perhaps and to the little Naizen. But he is way too far and different from the little coward Naizen his father always made to follow what he want. "You don't need to tell me the consequences because for the nth time, I will tell you this, I don't f*cking care." He looked at his father's eyes while saying such words without even blinking. He gulped when his mother's hand wrapped his arm. He looked away and caught his father shrugging a shoulder and a ghost smile appeared in his lips. This old man really think he can use his mother to change his mind. "I don't know what kind of life you are getting by being an instructor. Do you even earn enough with that kind of job? Oh. Is that even a job?" His father mumbled, shaking his head in disappointment and turned his back from them. But he spoke and that made his father stopped and looked at them intensely. "I got the life with no pressure, I got peace. Sure, I'm not making much like how I would possibly make in your field but I'm fine with it. At least I am not depressed." "What did you just said?" "Why didn't you just asked ---" "Gonzalo, will you let me talk to my son, please?" his mother interrupted him. "The offer is still on. I'm giving you 1 month, or else, you will be seeing that academy sinking in the ocean because of bankruptcy. You won't like it when I'm provoked, young Alvarez." Naizen gritted his teeth watching his father's back stepping the stairs up there. "You can't mess up my life. You didn't even bother to ask Harry about that. He is older than me, he was supposed to take over your chair!" he shouted but his father didn't mind his voice echoing the whole damn house. "Harry is having his profession and he is making a name -----" "And you think I won't make my own name in the field that I chose, mom?"
