Episode 5: Jig

Jig P. O. V

I went to my father's office before entering I saw two people hugging each other the person whose back is facing me seems to be crying, but I just ignore it and enter my father's office.

Dr Jacob Montero is my father, our family had a reputation of being a doctor almost all of my relatives our doctors or nurses.

A lot of people compare me to my father, they said that I look like my father because even though my father is in his forties he still looks good, but a lot of people also said that I'm different from my father.

My father is a great doctor but me. I always refused to be like him because I really want to be a photographer/ painter, but they always tell me that photography and painting are not really a great job and being a doctor is good for me. We always had an argument about it, and he just didn't listen to me.

He sent me to a medical school even though I don't want it. As the oldest son he told me that I have to be a Doctor for our family history. I tried to follow him and study, but after I graduated I pursued photography and painting, but he is mad about it.

Today I received a message that I'm disqualified in the competition I joined and the School I applied to study art and design but they put me out of the list. I am mad, and I rush to see my father to ask if he is the one who did it. I saw him on the phone when I entered the room. He is talking to someone else on the phone. I waited for him to finish the call.

Alfonso don't be shocked about this news. My father said.

What is it? The person on the phone asked.

Klein has a Bone Cancer, he has leukemia stage 3. My father said.

The person's name is kinda familiar I think I heard this name before but where. Well, I felt sorry for this person. Having cancer is really bad news. They talked for a long time and the call ended.

What is it again? My father asked me.

It's you. I said.

Me? What did I do this time? He asked.

You block my name on the School I applied to and you blocked my entree in the competition I joined. I said.

What nonsense are you saying about? My father asked. The door suddenly opens, my grandfather enters the room with my Mother.

It's not your father it's me. My grandfather said.

He sat on the chair and looked at me.

Can't you see what you look like now, you look like a rubbish person. Your clothes and everything looks like sh*t. My grandfather said.

Then what are you grandpa? , you always block everything I do. I replied and can see that he is mad at what i have said.

What did you say? You boorish man, how dear you speak to me like that. He said angrily.

James stop! My father told me.

You guys, all of you, why on earth do you keep insisting that I have to be a Doctor when you already know that I don't want to. Isn't enough that I study. I said while looking at them one by one.

Yes, you study medicine, but you are not using it. My father said.

Because I don't want to. I thought if I have a diploma you will stop interfering in my life but you guys always want to control me. I'm a person, a human. Not only that, but I am not a robot for you guys to tell me what to do. I said and when I was about to walk out my mother held my hand.

Son, where are you going? Stay here. She said.

No Mom, I can't stay here with you anymore. I said.

If you go out of this room don't blame me if I hold everything I gave you. My grandpa said.

I don't ask for it. I said and looked at him.

Everything you have is because of us, it's from us and if you don't follow us then I'll take everything back. My grandpa said.

Go on. Take everything from me, money and everything but just don't interfere with my work. I said and walked out.
