HE IS A DISAPPOINTMENT

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-29 19:42:56

My parents' forever home now appears deserted. I haven't been a good son, neglecting my parents and failing to appreciate their watch over me. I have been cheated by the time all these months, but I'm here, standing before their abandoned dwelling, hoping to reunite with them.

I gently place the bouquet of white roses I brought for my mother on the ground and lean down, offering it to her. "Hello, Mum. I hope you've been well. I know, I've missed you too. These are freshly picked flowers for you, I hope you like them." I swept the dust off her concreted plate, "it's hard to find turnips nowadays, hope you love them."

Mum's favorite flower was white roses. I couldn't find them at the florist shop, and I bought the readily available ones. Thankfully, they are still white.

"Hey, Dad. How have you been? I haven't had a chance to go fishing yet, but I'll try it out soon. And guess what? I promise I'll grill the entire lake on my next visit, you'll have to prepare to eat a bunch." He had a

  • HIM ALL ALONG   END OF HEARTBREAK

    NICHOLAS:I rode back to Vain's place, unable to shake off the anger in my chest. He shouldn't have filled my heart with so much pain. All I wanted was proof of his decency and dedication. I had almost entrusted my heart to him, but he shattered it completely.Upon reaching his room, I walked over to the wardrobe and quickly began gathering the few things I have. If I knew Vain even a little, he is hasting down here to stop me from leaving. I dropped the leather bag he bought for me on the bed and I began to fling my clothes from the wardrobe. I could leave these things, but not only do I not want to be stupid to leave things I need behind, but I also want anything that could define me to be out of Vain's house and life. "Nico!" He screamed across the building and I hurried to the door to get it locked, but he burst into the room before I could, crashing the door to my face. "Nico…," he made to bring his hand to my forehead, but I ignored him and returned to the wardrobe to get my t

  • HIM ALL ALONG   HAPPY BEGINNING

    It has been three days since I arrived in the city, and it is truly beautiful. Such a good decision to arrive a few days early before officially starting classes to familiarize myself with the surroundings.The journey to the city was quite a distance. I arrived here after about six hours of traveling from home. I had promised my parents and Elena, when I visited them to announce my admission and relocation, that I would ride smoothly and at a leisurely pace. I also stopped at intervals at gas stations to refill my tank and grab quick refreshments and replenish my wary body.I have never ventured far from home, with my farthest journey being to Vain's. Now, I find myself miles away, and it feels like an exciting adventure. The city is stunning, and I am thrilled about the fun that awaits me at school. I never imagined I would be accepted into D'Caprias, of all schools. I took my time researching the school and discovered that it is no ordinary place for someone like me.I gave up on usi

  • HIM ALL ALONG   HOLIDAY IS OVER

    GREG:After returning from my vacation, James insisted that I make up for my absence by spending the remaining days I have before classes to hang out with him and play his wandering games. One of our outings included attending a clothing runway show, where James splurged thousands of dollars on a swim brief designed by his crush, Amigos Percille. James was infatuated with her, evident from the way he looked at her and the huge collections he accumulated from her store. Poor James, Percille sees nothing but his patronage and aggressive donations. She keeps her smile professional while my brother convulses on it, insisting she is taking a slight liking of him. I had accompanied him to the massive show, on the deed he will lay low and avoid provoking the crowd with his influence. Yet, throughout the event, James was the center of attraction and every camera bestowed its flashes on him. Grateful to my mask, I hid behind it and survived the commotion.Just until yesterday, James and I ha

  • HIM ALL ALONG   WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL

    "Wrong Pack!"Park and Wendy, the popular, richest, and most arrogant students in the school, are getting acquainted with Nicholas, and it is not going to turn out well for me or anyone who is already admiring him. He is presently bound by the wild wolves, and those two can never make decent company.The untold truth is that their fathers are my Dad's business partners. My father has multiple shares in Wendy's father's company, and Park's father, who is separated from his famous wife, Cereet Lake, has my dad as a top investor in his textile company. Although Park lives with his mother, he has a cordial relationship with his father and often accompanies him to my home for business gatherings. Wendy's father attends too, but from my observation, I don't think he has a good relationship with his son. They both attend the gatherings at different times and in different cars and barely stand in as a family.They are unaware of my presence and relationship with the Waldeen. They mostly roam

  • HIM ALL ALONG   I AM LOVING IT HERE

    NICHOLAS:I reneged on my decision to have no friends once I realized how helpful Park and Wendy could be. They provided me with valuable information about the school and its scholars. Things are done differently in D'Caprias, I learned. Most actions are based on personal choices. While extracurricular activities were compulsory in my previous school, students here have the freedom to decide how and where they want to spend their free time.Joining a preferred club is a challenge due to the numerous interesting options available. There is the art club whose room contains vibrant colors and creative energy spilling out into the hallway. The melodious sounds of music wafting from the music club room, entices anyone with a passion for rhythm and melody. There are clubs for drama, debate, and even a community service club dedicated to making a positive impact on the local community.However, swimming seems to be the best fit for me, and coincidentally, my newfound famous friends are also

  • HIM ALL ALONG   SUSPENDED FEELINGS

    NICHOLAS:Park has to be kidding me!I looked at him in a baffle. He couldn't hold his laugh over the expression on my face."Cereet Lake, the Guinness World Record holder, Ms. Drown, is my mom," Park proudly announced.I couldn't believe it. Cereet Lake, the award-winner fastest swimmer? The fit and attractive woman that graces every social screen is his mother and the eccentric announcer?I am still on the scale of disbelief when Cereet Lake walked in, and dear lord! it is her for real.Her long dark hair flows with every step she takes, and her smooth long legs glide effortlessly over the grounds as she matches forward to us. She looks stunning, exactly the way billboards and the internet portray her. Clad in a swimsuit, her slender hips uniquely form under the silky scarf tied around it, that I gape without realizing I am.I wasn't the only one taken aback. All the new students had the same wide-eyed expression. We all see how unbelievable it is for such a person to be here, and

  • HIM ALL ALONG   I LOST INTEREST; LIES

    NICHOLAS:I strain from regrets of renting an apartment too far from school. Living in the city is expensive, and riding through the city every day added to my expense. The bill slate on petrol is one I have come to keep a record of, and it urgently demands a need to be cut, otherwise, I will drain out on its purchase and be forced to walk my way to school in a few more weeks.The school, well, has become adjustable. D'Caprias' scale of activities has been learned, and I have advanced from being called the 'new boy' by most of the students to the 'hot boy' title.Initially, I didn't plan on getting close to anyone, but after getting to know Wendy and Park, I also adjusted to accepting friends and gradually, we formed a circle of three friends.They aren't as bad as I thought. It's not their fault they were born into a life of luxury. They've merely grown up believing the world is an easy ride, which truly, is to them.I bonded with them though. And within a month of joining their frie

  • HIM ALL ALONG   I AM A MESS

    NICHOLAS:Larozo's unadulterated tenacity is his charm and strength, except I am too blind to see and welcome it for a second time or get myself involved with it again.Perhaps, I shouldn't have allowed my urges to take the best of me last night, or admit to him how good it was this morning. I have fueled his confidence that he now thinks he can flirt with me.With Larozo's continuous ogling, I pray Greg Bolt hasn't taken notice of us. He provoked the situation by leaning in to stand dangerously before my face, and at a regular timing, moving his gaze to devour my sweaty body. His lustful eyes were impossible to ignore. Uncomfortable with the intensity of his stare, I averted my eyes, and he took the moment to take back the towel. I glared in confusion and alerted for his next unknown intended action. Fondling the towel, he keeps smiling and teasing my patient. I became irritated and made a move to reclaim the towel, but Larozo is quite stubborn; he lightly smacked my palm and advan

  • HIM ALL ALONG   EPILOGUE

    Nicholas spent the entire night pleasing Greg and trying not to say anything that had Rahul in it. Greg refused to stop talking about it anyway. He complained about how Nicholas couldn’t stop looking at and admiring Rahul. “You should have hugged and kissed him since you missed him so much,” he nagged. “Babe, I can’t kiss and hug your brother’s boyfriend.” “What if he wasn’t my brother’s boyfriend?” “Then he wouldn’t have appeared to make my fiance so jealous.” “I am not jealous. I am angry!” “Why?” Greg rolled his eyes and thought of the reason he was angry, and when he couldn’t confirm any, he shook funnily, went into the bathroom, and banged the door. "My love..." Nicholas knocked at the door. "Let me join you, okay?" "Go away, and prepare the couch! You will sleep there tonight!" "Sweedy..." "Two nights!" Nicholas couldn’t raise the topic of their tomorrow's supposed wedding. Instead, he waited for weeks until Greg came to terms that Rahul would only be his

    GREG: “Attention, ladies and gentlemen,” Nicholas’ voice erupted through the speakers and everyone unleashed their attention to him. “Thank you." “What is he doing?” I asked Frederick. “I hope it is not what I am thinking.” “My name is Nicholas,” he echoed. “Ehh, I am not a public talker; stage fright is real, so please, reduce the attentiveness.” Everyone laughed at his silly humor. “It is happening,” Frederick blurted out. “Yeah, and it is going to be fun.” “Greg…" “Just listen.” Damn it! Frederick is disturbing. “First, I want to thank Mrs. Crown, Mrs. Freyet, Mr. Sam. Ms. Cecilia, Janie, and everyone for coming out today to celebrate the graduates. And congratulations to you all in that deserving gown; you did it!” The graduates cheered and clapped, including me. “Are you seriously clapping?” Frederick asked. “I am a graduate, Freddie.” I twisted to face him. “Okay, what is it?” “We should stop him.” “Why? he is doing fine.” “Wendy said something

  • HIM ALL ALONG   MY WORTHY MAN

    GREG: Time flies. A two-week stay-in vacation came and ended in a day. I rolled on every day wishing it would last a lifetime, yet, it didn’t. Each day with Nicholas is an unforgettable experience, and it hurts to see it over. It is alright, I will ask him to marry me. I am graduating soon and will propose then; waiting a few more days to own him forever won’t hurt too much. Nicholas is everything but the one to ask me to marry him. I have insisted on not moving in with him until we are married in the guise of knotting and pushing up his actions, but nothing has happened. He thinks it doesn’t matter. I spend nearly every day with him; what difference does it make? But I want it official. I am dying to upgrade from the boyfriend title, and it is clear the manifestation is my call. I make huge proposals in our relationship anyway; I asked him to be my boyfriend, and since he is waiting I ask him to marry me as well; I will. And I will do it before everyone. Meanwhile, I need t

    (FOUR YEARS LATER) NICHOLAS: “You ditched me.” Greg cried. “Is that even possible?” I missed his calls in an early queue for coffee. Getting back to the car, and seeing the notification, I decided to call him after dealing with the morning rush, but here I am, facing a trial of loving him less. “How do you explain missing my calls and still breathing fine?” “I didn’t survive. You are talking to my ghost.” “No jokes.” “Sweedy…” “You do care only about your clinic.” “Tell me to close down this fuvking clinic and I will. Just a word and it is over.” He chuckled at the other end of the phone. “No more fuvking word, Babe.” “I am fuvking trying.” “Fuvking try harder.” I laugh out loud, having a few nurses turn to me in admiration. I am a dentist, a successful one, in my magnificent clinic. I owe this achievement to the Waldeens and Lansey, who have in the past years, become a bosom friend. Despite returning to his country, we kept the communication nourished. My clinic didn’

  • HIM ALL ALONG   WHEN DID WE GROW UP?

    GREG: Preparation for Granny's late husband’s memorial went on. Since I didn't intend to embark on the trip, Mr. Ben would drive her to the countryside and return to the city. “He should stay all through, Dad.” I pleaded. I couldn’t have her alone in her home. With Nicholas in the city, attending his therapy, and Elena living with the doctors, Granny will have her enormous yard lonely and deserted. “Ben will be needed.” The last trip kept Mr. Ben in the countryside, and whereby I decided to use this holiday for a personal plot, Dad saw no reason Mr. Ben should stay back. “It is a remote area, Dad. Please, she shouldn’t be alone.” “Jerome would be helpful.” “But…” “Assign more help to her.” “Thank you.” I let it be. I comprehend Dad’s choices. Mr. Ben remains his most trusted and cherished driver; sharing him was for me. Dad also knows Mr. Ben has been more than a driver, and for such development, he’d prefer he patrol within my reach rather than away. Jerome dro

  • HIM ALL ALONG   TO EVERY CHANCES AND CHANGES

    NICHOLAS: My joy was evident. It had me doing extraordinary things. I wrote beyond the class lessons and every read textbook and marked my final paper as the best. Last night created that effect; having accessed Greg’s hole more than I hoped for was a grand experience — He was nothing like my past encounters. In addition to the news about Elena, my spirit elevated and circulated the air. Wendy and Park caught up on it and offered to join my visit to her. Greg climbed behind me, with Park and Frederick riding in Wendy’s car, we went to the hospital at the end of the examination. Everyone abandoned the students’ celebration to partake in my life. They chose to participate only in tomorrow’s graduation ceremony for the call to see Elena. We arrived at the hospital, eyes on us. Neatly uniformed D’caprias representatives alongside Greg Waldeen, is a topic and rouse. We got into the exclusive elevator together, against everyone’s curiosity, and ascended to the twelfth floor of the hospi

  • HIM ALL ALONG   HOME TREAT

    GREG: “Right now?!” “Hmmm." “We can stay here.” “Do you not want me in your room?” How do I explain his photos on my wall and every corner of my room? “I…” “We can stay here,” he said sadly. “Can I use the bathroom? Your father made me sweaty.” He tried to joke and appear cool, but I saw his disappointment. “I have a towel in my room. Would you like to use it?” “Yes, please.” That is it! Nothing beyond existence can happen. Finding out my obsession will only give me a moment of embarrassment. I turned to Nicholas and tried to warn him again. “Come on, Greg, open the door already.” “You must promise not to laugh or make a mock of me.” “What do you have in there? Nude postcards?” I opened the door to him and as Nicholas saw himself all over my life, he stood speechless. I knew it! He would see me as creepy and obsessive. He walked into the room, looking at the pictures with wide eyes and a mix of admiration. “Say something.” He ogled at me and went

  • HIM ALL ALONG   ALL I EVER WANTED IS YOU

    NICHOLAS: My face bleached at the curt reflection of sunlight, and I put out an arm for a shade, yawned, and rose from the pillow. “Arise and Shrink!” Park came loud and disturbing. He lifted the curtains to my face. I didn’t see but could hear in his voice all he had done. “Damn it…” I groaned and held my head from collapsing as I tried to open my eyes but felt them heavy. “Do you need some water?” Park isn’t asking out of care. He is threatening. He is ready to assist my waking with a bowl of water, and if I do not kick out this dizziness, I will have myself drenched and dripping. “Are you alright?” Wendy resonated deeper and consoling yet I was unimpressed. His voice lifted my drowsiness; I opened my eyes to him, leaning against the wall with arms and legs crossed, doubling my incertitude. “What is happening?” I stretched for better sight. “What is this ambush all about?” “Do you feel better?” “Why? Is something wrong with me?” I remember nothing except getti

  • HIM ALL ALONG   LOVE TILL THE END OF TIME

    GREG: Nothing is more satisfying than having Nicholas with me. He has proven his repentance, and if I were to choose, I see no reason for any discussion. All I want is to get back with him. Bringing him to school is secondary; I am not ashamed to voice it. “Where are we going?” I asked as we left the elevator to the building's car park. I know where we should go. We should be in his apartment, making up for the days apart rather than doing a bulky head of talk. “Anywhere.” He said. “Are you sure I can choose?” We indeed needed to talk. But that doesn’t mean we can’t after what I had in mind. If only he agrees I decide, I will lead us to a perfect location. “Greg, please.” Too bad, Nicholas is having it grim and strict. “Okay, serious head, we can drive to D’caprias if all you want to be is focused and determined.” “Shit!” He exclaimed and turned to me in horror. “Stop the car!” “What?!” “Pull over.” “What now?” I pulled to a pathway and Nicholas loosened his seat belt. “W
