Chapter 9
Eric and some of their teammates from the sea games had passed by to his house to pick him up.
He felt happy because despite his condition, his team was there for him. They were trying their best to cheer him up.
He never thought that he would be doing this effort just for him to be able to join them for the interview.
Levi was happy because he felt that despite his situation, the team made him feel that he still belongs with them. Though he knew that he couldn’t join the competition anymore because of the accident he had, the team never made him feel that way.
He chose to wear the jacket he had for the SEA games and then he paired it with a blue jean. He was glad that he had loving parents that were always there for him. They helped him with everything that he was doing though he must admit that sometimes, he felt frustrated, and he hated his situation. He was feeling that he was giving his parents a hard time, especially his mother who was always next to him.
It looked like he was back being a baby because he had to have someone to assist him in everything that he was doing.
Maybe, if he had a girlfriend or a wife, there might be someone who can help him aside from his mother to take care of him.
He shook his head. What kind of woman would agree to take care of him? No one would want him except for his mother. No one would like to take care a crippled person like him. They would think that they like got a stone and they hit their own head.
Just like how Cameron abandoned him right after she learned what happened to him.
It was only his mother who had that big heart and patience who would like to take care of him. It was true that no one can replace a mother’s love for their children.
It had proven that now because his mother had been so patient with him even if there were a lot of times that he was being grumpy. He seemed to have less patience about everything. Sometimes, he couldn’t help but feel bad because this had happened to him.
What did he do wrong for him to suffer like this? He only wanted his parents proud of him and he wanted their country to shine. So, was this the exchange for the success that he had achieved?
He couldn’t believe that his life could be this sweet quickly and then it could turn into a bitter one in just a blink of an eye.
They were now in front of the media personnel who were taking photos non-stop as soon as they saw them. When they started to walk, he knew that they would be asking them questions. He had an idea that most of the questions would be thrown at him. The questions would be about him and his situation right now. Well, he should also add the incident that was involving Cameron. He knew that the media people were hungry to know his side. He knew that they were curious about his reaction with Cameron’s interview.
Levi’s heart was pounding so fast like it never did before. Even during his competition, he never felt his heart beat this fast. Just only today.
He knew that he was going to face people who were so different from the athletes that he was facing in the game.
This time, he would be facing people who would be throwing questions at him to address the issues where he was involved. The things that should have never been an issue of Cameron kept quiet and she didn’t make any stories.
He couldn’t even figure out why the woman needed to do that. He didn’t know what she was thinking to even say those things about him. They both knew how much he loved her that he didn’t even sometimes think about himself. He had always put her first even with the decision that he was making. He always considered women. So, he couldn’t understand what exactly was happening to her.
He knew that she had her reasons but even if that’s the case, it was just so unreasonable.
“Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,” the host of the program started to speak. She was smiling widely as she projected the camera. She looked at them and then she looked back at the camera which was in front of her. “Today, we have our SEA Games participants as our guests. The people who brought honor to our beloved country. They brought us a great achievement for the past events of the SEA games that were held in South Korea. Please let us welcome our dear athletes that were in front of us. They will be answering all our questions about their experiences in SEA games and how they won and of course, what pushes them to win the gold. We will soon know what inspired our athletes to get this honor for our country,” the host added with still a smile on her face.
The questions started. The host was asking them one after another. And, in the end most of the questions were for him. He was not mistaken, he was right to think that the host would be asking him a lot of questions in regards with the night that the accident happened and the hot topic, the interview of Cameron in the morning show of Ms. Georgia.
“I know that you are already aware about the interview that your fiancée had with Ms. Georgia’s show. So, what’s your take on it? Is everything that she said true?” The host boldly asked him.
Levi was unable to answer right away. There were a lot of things that were running inside his head, and he felt a bit uncomfortable. He must admit that he was not used to being in the limelight.
