1// The Family of the Star

When I was born, people already expect me to be a star that will give them hope. My mom is one of the outstanding citizens in our nation while my dad is the president of our country. They both do their ways in excellence and brilliance.

Even my elder siblings already made a name in the nation. My brothers are the leader of each of our company. They made a big profit to our companies's name. While my sister is the head influencer of all of the celebrities having a TF beyond average.

So, when the eight child was born, me, of course, my environment already expect me to make a name in such a young age. Like what our family's relationship with no failing record, I am already in between in their expectations even have no critical thinking is involved.

When I reached my seven age, I raised the star manor of my middle school in science and math subject. I am smart. Not a pretentious ideal but inborn attributes. I always ace in every subject, in every class.

"How many friends did you made?" My mom asked me as I reached our doorway. " Beyond the limitations of my hand."

"Woah, that's wonderful, lil sis. " Brother Migo said who stayed beside mom.

"Well, they want to get involved with me, so, who I am to reject them? Having a lot of friends is more awesome than being alone. " I really meant to raise my voice so that the first brother behind me could hear, waiting for me to enter first.

He just tsk-ed and never bothered to restrain me. Mom just laughed at us. "Come, the dinner is ready. "

In our dining hall, we, with my five brothers and my sister laughed while eating. While our first brother, didn't bother to laugh with us. He is just the silent type. "Purple, the music agency already called and they said you are ready to shoot tomorrow. " My mom said to me.

"Wait mom, she's just seven? She should have focused her study more than doing music. " My sister objected the idea of me, as a singer.

"Sweetie, Purple love to sing. And she's not even afraid of the camera. She'll be okay. "

"I am already smart, sweetie. I don't need those children stuff, I already mastered all the lesson that the teacher discussed. "

"Oh expected from the family's bloodline. "

"But, I don't want her to be exposed in her young age. I know camera gives a good vibes in her character but you know how bad it turns out to those people who became lovers to the camera. "

"I'm not like them, Sweetie. I am way more different. "

"Yeah, like you sweetie, you still have the spotlight. " Kuya Kiyan said and Kuya Harry teased her. ( Kuya means Brother). "Oh, are you scared she'll get your spotlight? "

"I'm not. " Sister said annoyingly. "It's just that, I want her to be academically stable, having friends in the school, enjoying her teenage and childhood life. "

"She's just a worry wart,Purple. Understand her. " Kuya Gabby said. "It is base on her experience. "

"But I love showing off in the camera. " I plead. "Well, both of you have points, though different perspective, it is still your life. Your life, your choice. It will be your decision. And you need to face the risk of your choice. " Kuya Ion said while muching the crunchy fried yolk.

"Mom, why are you crying? " We heard Kuya Rojan, our first brother spoke for the first time in the dining hall. He was so worried, so we are. "Mom, is there something wrong?" Ate Mary asked.

My mom shook her head, "I am just happy to see you worried about your sister. "

"Mom, she's our sister. Family is always the first priority, right? Of course I will not let anything ruin our family. " Sister proudly said.

"Wow, you tone like a man now. " He was almost hit by the fork sister threw at him. "Damn, Chill. "

"Mom, how about you? Are you agree of Purple entering the world of celebrities? " Kuya Migo asked.

"Migo, she's in music not some acting. " Harry said.

And before could mom utter a word, they already engulfed the spaces for her.

"But that's the first stepping tone of her before becoming a wide known actress.

"Well, the majority vote will decide. "

"I'm not in. " Sister firmly said.

"Then I'm not." Kuya Gabby said.

I looked at Kuya Migo. " I agree. "

"Approved." Kuya Harry said with a smile.

Kuya Ion gave a clap before he said "I agree. "

"Na—I might chose ate Mary, she's too pity having no one to side with her. So, I don't agree. "—kuya Kiyan said with empathetic look at Mary and he earned a warning fist from my sister. "Am I invisible to you? " Kuya Gabby sarcastically said.

"I remained neutral. I love you all equally. Period, no further phrases. " Kuya Harry

I gave him a pout. " Both of you and kuya Kiyan are really the weird guy. "

Kuya Kiyan's Forehead creased. "That's not good, I'm not the weird. It's Rojan! He's the weirdest."

"When did the silent type and shy type of person became the weirdest? He just doesn't like your word 'exposure'" I said with a raised eyebrows.

I switched my gazed at Kuya Rojan, he just enjoying his meal, having no care of our arguments. And he seemed feel the air, when all of us looked at him. "Mom, I'm done. I'm going to my room. "

Before kuya could leave the table, all of us are ready to capture him. We grabbed him and put him on his seat. "You should vote. " I said.

"And why should I? "

"Hello? Your our brother. "

"But I'm not the one who is making the decision here. "

"But I need your vote. "

"And why should I? "

"You're annoying. This is sibling matter. Just give us your vote. "

"I'm going to my room. "

"Just a vote will you? " I raised my eyebrow at him.

Kuya Rojan grabbed my hand and pulled me closed to him, then he let go of my hand and patted my shoulder, " Are you a kid? "

My jaw dropped. He just smiled for the first time, yet, a smile with a devil aura but at the same time, it is a captivating smile.
