“When do you plan to get married? You don’t even have a Partner. You know, your younger sibling will Get a child first than you. I might even die without seeing and having a grandchild from you”. Said by Tatay Florencio
Tatay Florencio has been begging his son to find a partner and have a child for a while now since he believes that he won’t last that long in this world.
“Father, I have told you a lot of times that I don’t find any girl attractive and interesting at the moment”. Although Mateo is a attractive, kind and smart man, he unfortunately still hasn’t found someone yet despite his age.
“But I don’t know what kind of woman you can date, son! Didn’t I introduce you to my friend’s very beautiful child, don’t you like him ?.” Mateo was just clacked by what his father had said.
“Still, it’s not about the goodwill of the woman I want to be with as I get older, but about her inner goodness and personality.” His Father smiled slightly at what his son had said, perhaps realizing to himself that it was right for him and his wife to raise Mateo.
“Right, son. That’s what I want to hear from you. But I hope you also consider that I am old and weak already, there is no one to take care of me , because your mother is gone. I want someone to take care of you at least like your mom took care of you before I left. ” Matthew smiled slightly at what his Father had said. So he wondered how he could fulfill his Father’s request to make him happy.
“Tomorrow I will leave, I will go to university, I will meet my former classmates when I was still studying. Stay Here, I’ll just call Ate Myrna to watch over you while I’m gone. ” Said Matthew. “Finish reading the newspaper so you can go to sleep right away. I’ll take care of the upstairs, and I’ll be able to sleep, too. ”
“Yes, all right, thank you. When I’m done here, I’ll just call Alexa.”
The Young Man nodded at His Father’s Answer.
“Carl?, Hey Man, How you doin?. It’s been a while.” Mateo Greeted his old classmate.
He saw a Girl beside him, assuming that was his girlfriend and turned out that it’s his
classmate’s wife.
“ Yeah, It’s Really Been A While, By the way, This is Lauren, My Wife.” Carl Introduced
The lady to Mateo.
“ Nice to meet you. “ Mateo Greeted her.
“ By the way, I noticed you don’t have anyone accompanying you. Don’t tell me , you still haven’t found a future spouse?.” He Jokingly said but Mateo Wasn’t having it.
“ Aside Jokes, But I Haven’t really found someone yet. I know. I know I’m 1 year close to my thirties
But things like love shouldn’t be rushed. I just really need to find someone who can be a wife and
A mother. It’s that simple. .”
Mateo Explained his side, While Sighing at every idea because of the frustration.
“ Yeah, That’s What I Thought. But Really? Dude? Girls Right Now? At this time?. I don’t think
That would be possibly possible that you can easily find someone like that, to be honest.”
