《Book 1: Falling for Ricci Rivero (COMPLETED)》Chapter 4: Right beside you
Advertisement
"napatunganga nung bigla kitang makita pagkalipas ng mahabang panahon." 🎧
bumagal ang paligid... pero ang puso ko? hindi. ang bilis ng pagtibok neto, na para bang any moment eh lalabas na sya sa aking dibdib dahil hindi normal ang bilis neto kumapara sa nakasanayang tibok.
nasa harap kita ngayon.
nakatayo, nakatingin sa akin.
agad akong umiwas ng tingin.
ramdam ang inis ni prof, hindi ko kase alam kung matagal na syang nakatayo hindi ko na napansin yun. ito nanaman ang kakaibang pakiramdam, nakalimutan ko nanaman ang mundo nung nakita kita. hindi, hindi maari rivero.
agad kang umupo sa tabi ko, nakita ko ang marahan mong pagsulyap pabalik sa akin.
bulong mo.
hindi ko pinansin ang pagtawag mo, ikaw lang ang tumatawag sa akin nyan. ikaw lang.
I do, however I choose not to care about it. Dahil minsan mo naring ginawa sa akin yan hindi ba?
hindi ko na nahintay matapos ang law class, masyadong mahaba ang 2 oras para makasama at makatabi kita rivero, masyadong mahaba.
nagpasya akong magpaalam kay kleise, sabi ko hindi maganda ang aking pakiramdam at mauuna nakong umuwi.
nagpaalam din naman ako sa prof pumayag naman ito.
Nakaramdam ako ng parang may kung sino ang sumusunod sa akin, agad akong lumingon para makita kung sino iyon.
at sa paglingon ko, nakita kita...
malamig kong sabi sayo. ngayon mo pako hinabol?
ano paba ang paguusapan natin? Ano paba ricci? eh matagal naman ng tapos.
patuloy lang aking paglalakad, sakto. nakita ko ang ilan sa mga schoolmates natin at alam kong ilan lang sila sa mga nagkakandarapa sayo.
kaya nakaisip ako agad ng magandang Idea, naglakad ako papalapit sakanila para naman makita ka nila at di mo na ko sundan pa.
samot saring hiyawan ang narinig ko. narinig ko din ang pagtawag mong paulit ulit sa pangalan ko hindi ko iyon pinansin.

agad akong nagtungo sa kung saan ako madalas pumunta, sa lumang park.
umupo ako dun habang pinagmamasdan ang dating kinatatayuan ng puno na lagi kong inuupuan.
ang dami ng nagbago sa lugar na ito...
di gaya dati na mapuno at maraming namamasyal.
Parang tayo lang pala ang park na ito...
parati akong nagagawi dito, kumbaga ito ang lugar kung saan ako naglalabas ng sama ng loob o nagiisip ng mga bagay bagay.
Alam kong magtatagpo tayong muli,
alam kong darating ang araw na makakasalubong nanaman kita...
hinanda ko na ang sarili ko para dito.
pero bakit ganun? parang, parang hindi parin sapat ang naging paghahanda ko?
mag gagabi napala, hindi ko pa sana mapapansin ang oras kung hindi tumunog ang cellphone ko.
nag text pala si kleise.
agad kong sinagot ang text ni kleise.
nakakatawang isipin, bumili ng gamot? may gamot ba ang pusong nasaktan, at patuloy nanasasaktan?
bago pa man ako pumasok ng condo, sinabi ko agad sa sarili kong hindi maaring maramdaman ni kleise o malaman nyang may itinatago ako sakanya.
pagbukas ko palang ng pinto nakita ko kaagad si kleise na nag aayos ng kanyang mga pinamili.
meron kleise, itong puso ko.
kinailangan ko pang magsinungaling sayo kleise, hindi pa ito ang tamang panahon. patawad
kahit naman malaman ko pa yan, hindi parin ako manonood.
casual kong sagot.
ramdam ang pagtataka ni kleise.
maikli kong sagot, para saan ang panonood ko kung ang bawat shoot nya ay di naman para sa akin.
I know.
no, I really do like basketball however. hindi ko gusto ang maglalaro, expected ng mananalo sila. magkaron ba naman sila ng isang teammate na mapaglaro di ba?
ang swerte ko nga naman no, isang ricci rivero na ang nakatabi ko. ang swerte swerte ko naman, dahil kada law class madudyrog ang puso ko. answete ko nga naman kleise.
" buti nga ako nagpaalam na magpapahinga eh, eh yung isa jan? nagpaalam ba?
I need to calm myself at hindi pwedeng mahalata ni kleise or ng kahit sino ang lahat.
hindi pwedeng maramdaman ng riverong to na affected pako.
nagsisimula palang ang lahat.
pero gusto ko na agad tapusin.

Magical Girl Gunslinger
“Would you like to make a contract?” When eldritch horrors known as the Anathema began tearing through reality to invade Earth, aliens calling themselves the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity. Individuals were chosen and gifted with the ability to use magic and advanced technologies to combat the existential threat. Over twenty-one years later, the so-called “Magical Guardians” are still hard at work keeping the peace. With their flashy outfits, superhuman abilities, and reality-defying spells, they are the part-time heroes and full-time idols of modern society. But none of that really matters to Mai, whose biggest problems are dealing with her family, classmates, and the ever growing dread of her imminent future. As far as Mai is concerned, mundane problems are more than enough to worry about, and the idea of magic and monsters might as well be nothing more than daydreams. At least, they were until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion… A Dark Magical Girl LitRPG with sci-fi elements. Note: Slow burn and gradual introduction of LitRPG mechanics that become a focal point once introduced. Please be aware this story contains intense violence, gore, traumatic situations, and other potentially unsettling content. Chapter One and Two are considered the first “episode” and introduction into the book. As such, they are mega length to allow for uninterrupted reading. Enjoy! Inspired by Stray Cat Strut, by RavensDagger.

With the help of his doctor, it looks like Jericho finally hit a breakthrough, and after a few years of being powerless, things might start looking up for him. Join Jericho and others as they interact in this world where everyone has extraordinary abilities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ HIATUS NOTE (Please read): Starting June, I will be going on a summer hiatus (around 3 months) to focus on my future career and set myself up to succeed in school. I will still be writing in the meantime and creating a backlog, but I won't be posting chapters. I apologize for this. I wish there was another way. Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less). The content warning tags are mostly for flexible writing, but do expect it or something of the sort. This is a story suitable for older teens and adults. Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).
