THE UNLUCKY CALDERON (COMPLETED)

27

ANTHONY POV

Pila ko ka oras nag bantay kay Nikko sa hospital kay gipa uli sa nako si Antonio ug Veronica to fix their selves.

Para ma presentable pud sila. Last night pa daw sila diria sa hospital.

Nikko is fine now. But he still needs to be monitor by the doctors.

I stare at the baby, naa syas incubator. He was delivered healthy by Veronica 2 months ago pero still, Nikko is premature baby. Naa gihapoy possibility nga naay failure sa iyang organs.

The doctor said, Nikko is already safe, it's just that he needs to be more secured and away from danger that might happen.

My nephew is so cute, katunga guro sa akong bukton iyang ka dak-on. As a tito, I'm really happy having a nephew as cute and handsome as Nikko.

Calderon kaayo sya ug di jud na madeny.

“I wonder how does it feel to have your own child.” I suddenly whisper.

Niabot ug kalit si Antonio,

“He's a blessing for us. Nikko and Veronica is my treasure. I'm afraid how to leave alone if I lose them again” he said starring at his infant.

“I'm happy for you. Bilib na jud ko, naunahan pako nimo” I answer

We both laugh at each other.

“You know kuya, woman is hard to handle but you still have to handle them with care. They're the most fragile human being I've met but the braviest” seryoso niya nga sulti.

I keep myself silent. Because right now, I want to have this moment for Antonio to share his experience.

“I've never thought of committing before. We both hate commitments diba? cause it sucks. We thought woman is just a medicine for a man's erection. But, Anthony, I'm telling you. Once cupid hit you, he will hit you deep and hard” he added.

He then tapped my shoulder, “I guess you still have things to do or people to meet today, you can go now. Ako na mag bantay diria.” ingon pa niya.

Mao pa say pagka hinumdom nako kang Pal nga akong gibiyaan sa mansion..

“Shit! Thankyou for reminding me. Update me when Nikko's awake” sulti nako ug nigawas na sa private room ni Nikko.

Pag gawas nako sa hospital, naka realize ko nga hapon na. Wala man lang ko naka paniudto.

Wala sad ko kabatig gutom. And the sun is setting down.

I checked my wrist watch and it's already 5:48

Pag abot nako sa mansion I let the guard to park my car sa among garahe. Then nag dali dali kog sulod sa mansion.

Only to hear my maids saying,

“She have appointments daw, Sir. Salamat nalang daw sa tanan”

Atay! Murag lahi namay pasabot sa gi sulti sa maids.

Nisaka kos 2nd floor para tan awn akong kwarto.

Wala koy Pal nga nakita sa akong kwarto. Even her things, wala koy makita. She left without any lead.

Pal is really good at driving me crazy.

Mura kog nag damgo ra sa iyaha tapos pagmata nako, wala na syas akong tapad.

I tried to contact her using her phone number I have, but it's unattended.

I frustratedly face the bathroom mirror, starring at my idiot self.

“Why did you left her?! Why did you forget about her?” I asked my self on the mirror.

How can I find her again now? Just fvck this!

As I stare at myself longer, I realized more.

She'll always left because I'm not doing anything. For the nth time, she left.

What should I do? Where could I find her?

Shit this!
