THE UNLUCKY CALDERON (COMPLETED)

20

ANTHONY POV

“Veronica is yours, I have mine already. Even though my woman won't like me back, I'm forever owned by her.” ingon nako sa akong igsuon.

8 months na. Walo na ka bulan ang miagi ug wa na nako usab nakita si Pal Ringcon but my love for her didn't left me.

It's still there. Inside me, growing even more.

I am here in Italy. My parents called a meeting about the supposed wedding of me and Veronica.

But I know Veronica and my brother have the things already. They deserve to marry each other, plus they already have Nikko Ricardo Calderon.

They'll make a prefect family. I won't be a burden. Di na nako damayon akong igsuon sa akong problema.

They deserve the happiness they have right now.

“Anthony” it's my dad's voice.

I look at him with no emotion in my eyes. As long as I can, I'll hide my pain from them.

“I am your dad, Anthony. You came from me, before your mother got you. As a father, it's my duty to memorize my son's happiness and sadness.” he tapped my shoulder.

“And I can see those sad souls in you Anthony Ignacio. Why are you sad?” his voice were worried.

I breath hard as I felt my heart tightened. I want to burst out.

I'm really in pain right now.

I received a hug from the man in front of me. Dad hug me tight like how he hug me before, evertime I cry.

“Cry it out, son. It will help” he keep on tapping my back while I'm crying on his shoulder.

Mura kog nibalik ug pagka bata nga kanang nadagma ko tapos si papa dayun ang mag-alo sa akoa.

Antonio is a momma's boy, while ako kay Papa jud ko close kaayo. That's why he knows me well.

I continue crying ug wa nakoy pake kung kinsa ang makakita sa akoang mo hilak.

I just can't take it anymore.

The woman who gave me headache before is now giving me the heartache. A long lasting heartache.

“She hurt me, but I can't hate her. I won't blame her because it's my fault that I fell for her. I love her, dad. She's the pain I want to love forever.” I said between my cries.

“I understand you. Just like your mom, the bad medicine I want to take. Remember my love story with your mom? Just don't give up easily. Maybe she's the right person, but came at the wrong time.” my dad stated.

I wiped out my tears and fix myself.

“There's still the right time for a love story to be perfect, Anthony” he added.

I nod, “You're right, dad. Love have the right time for everyone. And this time, naa pakoy flight paulig pilipinas kay daghan pakog trabahuon. I should just focus on our business.”

Gikataw-an ko ni papa. Nagka storyahanay pa mi before ko nag desisyon nga mo biya na sa penthouse ni Veronica.

Some realization hit me up.

Halos tanan na sa akong barkada nag minyo na. Akong igsuon mag minyo na sad.

Ang business nalang guro namo akong minyoan.

"Lord, duha nalang ka bulan mag 31 years old nako. I know nga lami gihapon kaayo ko, pero tigulang najud akong edad lord. Maminyo pa ba ko?"

I laughed at my own thoughts. Trying to lift up my mood.

This pain in my chest will be gone soon. I hope so.

And if that happens, I promise not to fall in love again.

I'm so done being the Unlucky Calderon.
