A Glimpse Of Us

Chapter 10: Wonderbitch's concern

Claudio

I marched to the cemetery unknowingly. I came to kneel in front of my father's tombstone. I bit my lip, stopping my urge to cry in front of my very successful father. My father won most of the things in his life, he had a loving family, he had a wonderful wife, a son like me taking his steps. He may had issues, but chose to fix it for his son, and a company he worked his ass off.

"Dad" He silently whispered, unknown to what he wants to say next.

"Was I a bad person?" He asks as he cried.

Flashback

"Son, you don't have to close your heart just because the love you regain just passed" He says.

"Pero dad, I don't see any reason to love anyone anymore" Claudio says depressingly.

"I heard kay Yves na you've drastically changed" He jokes.

"Yves is just kidding, at kung may marinig ka kay Calisto, walang kwenta iyan"

"Well my son, we have something in common naman" He says.

"I lost my wife, and you lost your boyfriend. Pero that's the only thing we have in common" He smiled.

"What do you mean?"

"I lost my wife, pero I still smile. You know why? Because I have you to remind myself that my wife loved me as much as she loved her son" He held his shoulders.

"And you? You lost Lucas like you lost a big gamble. You are always sad and depressed in your own account. And that's what Lucas despise" He says.

"Lucas loved you not because you were pushing away your feelings, he loved you because you are deserved to be loved. Walang taong hindi makakaranas ng isang totoong pag-ibig. If you ever meet someone just like Lucas, then learn how to love him as well"

"Pero Lucas is one of a kind dad, I can't just find someone like him na parang nagbibisita ako sa doll factories"

"That's the wrong point you have, you are looking for HIM. And not someone LIKE him. There's a difference" Claudio sighed.

"It's like your love for a person you saw on TV or a book you read. You became interested with this person, and imagined a life with someone who acts like that person. Everyone has their standards in books, and that's why Gods are picky with our destiny. Because we search for what we read in books, instead we should know that person by their uniaue personalities"

"People don't happen to be Javier Ezekiel or your typical Jung Hoseok. You want to find someone LIKE Javier or Hoseok. You are just too stuck into the physical standards. Who knows, someone can be a mix of Heeseung and a Jungkook all together. They exist because they rose your standards high, so now you get my point?"

Claudio stares at his dad as he nods.

"Good, now, I want you to know that you deserve to be happy, and that you deserve love"

End of Flashback

"Mom died, pero you had me. Lucas died, pero who do I have?" He asks himself as the wind gushes pass him.

"I had... No one" He silently says

Suddenly a text came to his phone as he sniffed out. It was a message from Callum

"Callum..." He silently whispered as he looks around and clears his throat.

"I should be going na dad, and uhhh, thank you for the sign and talk" He smiled.

"Iho, may nakikita ka bang salamin dito?" A elderly woman asks.

"Oh uhmm, ahh ito" he picks it up and dusted it and gave it to her.
