《Fangirl Turns To His Girl | Ricci Rivero Fanfic》#THIRTY EIGHT: WEAK
Advertisement
Marupok. Iyan ang unang napagtanto ni Khaira nang agad niyang napatawad ang kanyang nobyong si Ricci.
Napakarupok na sa isang mahigpit na yakap lamang ay bumigay agad siya. Na kahit sobrang nasaktan sa ginawang pagtalikod sa kanya ni Ricci ay nabalewa ito sa isang iglap lamang.
Kasalukuyang nakasandal ang dalawa sa sasakyan ni Ricci, kapwa tahimik at tila nakikiramdam sa isa't-isa.
"I saw you smile. I saw laugh. I should be happy since you are. But-" he looked up at sky and sigh, slowly glancing at Khaira who's beside him. "I'm not the one who makes you smile that night. Seems like you're really enjoying with him. You're happy with him and it hurts."
Marahan tumingin si Khaira sa kanyang nobyong ang mga mata'y nakatingin na naman sa kung saan. Hirap 'man niyang basahin ang iniisip nito ay hindi pa din alintana sa boses nitong nasasaktan din siya. Hinintay niyang tumingin ito sa kanya ngunit bigo siyang napayuko.
Alam niyang nasaktan nito ang binata ngunit maging siya'y nasaktan din.
"I know" aniya, pinaglalaruan ang kaniyang mga daliri na tila ba kinakabahan. "Alam kong nasaktan ka pero mali ang pagkaunawa mo. I don't smile because I'm with Harris. Masaya ako that time, oo pero hindi dahil sa kanya. Its be because I saw one of my idols in volleyball. We talked about her. Hindi ako makapaniwalang nakita ko yung iniidolo kaya laking tuwa ko talaga ng mga oras na iyon." nakangiti ngunit malungkot na saad ni Khaira.
Sumulyap siya sa kaniyang nobyong nawalan na ng imik at nakatingin sa kawalan na para bang mag-isa lamang ito sa mga oras na iyon.
"Hindi ka naniniwala?" namamaos na tanong ng dalaga, pilit nilalabanan ang mga luhang nagbabadya sa kanyang mga mata.
Pinakalma niya ang kanyang sarili at humarap sa nobyo. Lakas loob niyang hinuli ang mga mata nito at hindi naman siya nabigo. Blangko, walang mababasang emosyon sa mga mata ni Ricci dahilan para mangilid na naman ng luha ang kanyang mga mata. Ilang segundo niyang pilit tinitigan ang binata na siya rin mismo ang kumalas at yumuko na lamang ulit.
"Ganitong oras um-umuuwe si mama. You should... go now. Baka matraffic ka na naman pauwe. Sa susunod na lang tayo ulit mag-usap." malungkot niyang saad bago humakbang papalayo kay Ricci.

Tuluyan nang bumagsak ang mga luhang kanina pa niya pinipigilan nang wala siyang maramdamang kamay na pipigil sa kanya. Lakad takbo, hanggang sa makapasok siya ng bahay. Hindi niya na din batid kung naisara ba niya ang kanilang gate.
"Lynn you're here! Bakit ka---" hindi niya pinansin ang pagsalubong ng kanyang ate Khaila at basta na lang dumiretso sa hagdan paakyat sa kwarto niya.
Kunot-noong pinanuod ni Khaila ang kanyang kapatid na paakyat at hindi maitatangging umiiyak ito. Sumulyap siya sa bukas na pinto at natanaw si Ricci na tulalang nakamasid sa bukas na gate nila.
Isang linggo akong subsob sa pag-aaral. Isang linggo na puro papel at libro ang kaharap ko. Finals na namin kaya kailangan kong magfocus. Lutang man ang sarili ko minsan ay nakaya ko pa din naman magreview para sa finals.
"Mga baaaks ano na?!" bati ni Charlotte habang papalapit sa amin.
"Uy paaaks ano na haha!" salubong naman ni Jenny.
"Paaaks you too Jen!" sagot ni Char sa irap kay Jen.
"Mga bunganga niyo naman. Nadudumihan ang pandinig ni Aliya haha" singit ni Dallia.
Sinulyapan namin si Aliya na tila walang narinig dahil tutok na tutok sa binabasa niyang libro.
"Tss. Shut up na us guys. Baka 'pag bumagsak 'yan sa exam tayo ang sisihin." pabulong na saad ni Char.
"Loko loko talaga kayo" nakangiting saad habang umiiling.
"Uy Lynn, nandito ka din pala. Kanina ka pa ba dito?" pabirong tanong ni Dallia.
"Sinasabi ko sayo Lynn, matapos lang 'tong finals natin kami na mismo ang pupunta kay Ricc-- oops sarrey!" kamot ulong napayuko si Char.
"Hindi na kailangan. A---"
"Bakit naman?" biglang singit ni Aliya na kahit gustuhing matawa ng mga kaibigan namin sa kanya ay pinili na lamang na makinig sa sasabihin ko.
"Ako mismo ang pupunta sa kanya after finals."
"Bakit ikaw? Ikaw na ang nasaktan, ikaw pa ang lalapit?"
Napasulyap ako kay Dal. May point naman siya.
Maraming tanong ang pumapasok sa isip ko. Ang akala ko makikipag-ayos siya kaya niya ako pinuntahan sa bahay ni kuya at inihatid pauwe. Para saan 'yung yakap niya? 'Yung pag-iyak? At paghingi niya ng sorry kung sa huli ay 'di rin naman niya ako kakausapin.

Hindi ko namalayan ang sarili kong nakatulog sa kaiiyak at katatanong ng bakit. Nagising ako sa gitna ng madaling araw dahil nakaramdam ako ng pananakit ng aking ulo at panunuyo ng aking lalamunan.
Bumangon ako at nakapikit na tinahak ang hagdan pababa at pumuntang kusina. Nasilaw ako sa liwanag nang imulat ko ang aking mga mata. Patay ang lahat ng ilawan sa buong bahay liban dito sa kusina.
Agad naman akong kumuha ng gamot sa kit at ininom iyon. Umupo ako sa tapat ng kitchen counter at doon ilang minutong yumuko at nagpahinga.
Hindi ko namalayan ang mga pangyayari dahil nagising na lamang ako na buhat buhat ako ng isang pamilyar na lalaki. Kunot noo 'kong pilit inaaninagan ang kanyang mukha kahit nahihirapan akong kilalanin ito dahil sa dilim. Ngunit hindi ako pwedeng magkamali, siya lamang ang taong kabisado ko ang galaw at maging ang mabagong amoy nito.
Pumasok kami sa isang kwarto na sa palagay ko ay ang aking silid. Marahan at ingat na ingat niya akong inihiga sa kama kaya muli akong nagtulog-tulugan. Umupo siya sa tabi ko at marahan akong kinumutan. Naramdaman kong hinawi niya ilang hibla ng buhok ko at inipit iyon sa likod ng aking tainga. Ilang segundo lamang siyang naupo sa tabi ko at dahan-dahang tumayo. Ngunit bago pa siya tuluyang makalayo ay hinawakan ko ang kanyang kamay na sa tingin ko ay ikinagulat niya.
Tanging liwanag lamang na nagmumula sa lampara sa gilid ng kama ko ang nagsisilbing ilaw ko sa gabi kaya naman hindi ko makita ang kanyang mukha. Gustuhin ko mang makita ang kanyang mukha ay hindi ko magawa dahil hindi niya ako nagawang lingunin. Humigpit ang pagkakahawak ko sa kamay niya na tila nagmamakaawa sa kanyang atensyon.
bulong ko, nanatakot na tuluyan na naman niya akong talikuran.
Habang hawak hawak pa rin ang kamay niya ay bumangon ako at niyakap siya mula sa likuran niya.
I sigh between my words.pagsusumamo ko. "Kailangan ko magpokus sa mga susunod na araw at kung hindi tayo magkakaayos ay baka bumagsak ako sa finals. Let's talk after my final exam. Kung okay lang sayo ay pupuntahan na lang kita." I paused.
Bumagsak ang traydor kong mga luha ngunit agad ko iyong pinunasan nang kalasin ni Ricci ang mga kamay kong nakayakap sa kanya. Humarap siya sa akin at dahan dahan ko siyang tinignan. Seryoso ang kanyang mukha pero hindi niya maitatago ang lungkot na nakikita ko sa kanyang mga mata.
Ilang segundo kaming magkatitigan bago siya magsalita.
he paused and then continue.
Hindi ko mahimigan kung totoo ba ang sinasabi niya o nagdadahilan lang siya para iwasan ako.
I said.
"No, of course she will kapag nalaman niya." seryoso pa ring saad niya.
"Then sa sala na lang din ako matutulog. Sa baba na lang---"
"Lynn" mahina ngunit may diin niyang sabi.
Yumuko ako at tuluyang sumuko.Lynn na naman.
I dont' get him. Kanina lang ay galit siya, ngayon naman ay hindi ko malaman kung concern siya o talagang tinataboy niya lang ako.
I failed again.
Kasabay noon ay ang pagpatak ng aking mga luha.
Tinalikuran ko siya at humiga sa kama. Binalot ko ng kumot ang aking katawan. Hindi ko na mapigilan ang mga likidong lumalabas sa aking mga mata kaya balewala ang pagpupunas ko sa mga iyon.
"Tapos anong nangyari? Did he stay or not?" tanong ni Jenny.
"He did. He did stay." I half smiled. "Sabi ni ate naabutan daw niyang tulog si Ricci sa kwarto ko. Sa sofa siya natulog."
"Ang rupok mo girl. Sa bagay, si Ricci Rivero 'yun. Every girls' dream." pailing-iling na saad ni Charlotte.
"Sasamahan kita. Sabihan mo ko kapag makikipagkita ka na sa kanya." seryosong saad ni Dallia kaya lahat kami ay napatingin sa kanya. "I can't let my weak friend talk to an asshole like him alone." pagpapatuloy niya.
"I'm not weak." nasasaktang tugon ko kay Dallia.
"Of course you are! How can you beg him to stay when in the first place he's the one who hurt you? You're weak Lynn." mahina ngunit may diin ang bawat salitang binitawan ng aking kaibigan.
Masakit ngunit totoo ang mga sinabi ni Dallia. Mahina ako. Marupok ako. Ganito pala talaga kapag nagmamahal. Love gives us happiness and inspiration. However, it makes us weak.
To be continue....

8 259Galactic Fist of Legend
In the year 2018 a bright star appeared near Earth. Humanity as a whole was briefly introduced to a race of beings far beyond their understanding. During that brief interaction a proclamation was made, Defeat the Grand Emissary or become the eternal slaves of those who had arrived at Earth. The only chance for victory was for people all across the globe to make a choice. When prompted to become a champion and a play a bizarre game of life or death they could choose yes or no. Those who chose no, went about their lives afterward. All memory of the event was lost despite the fact that their very existence as a free species hung by a single thread. Will those who said yes manage to survive the horror of the game and become strong enough to defeat the Grand Emissary. Can one of them become... The Galactic Fist of Legend. Also, it's a comedy. Pretty obvious, right? Notes: This story will contain graphic violence, stupid humor, nudity, sexiness, and maybe I'll give the main character a pet cat or something. I don't know yet. Still, you need to be pretty mature to properly take care of a pet. Notes2: This story is my answer to stories such as Gantz, Terror Infinity, Battle Royale, Btoom!, and strangely enough... Captain N: The Video Game Master. It is an original story, but it does seek to give a similar vibe to some of those tales of legend. However, it is not meant to be an overly serious tale as I have decided that the new stories that I release in the coming year will be mostly comedies.
8 216Leftover Apocalypse
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] This is a story about the newly-adult Calliope Smith having a terrible day that ends in her getting mysteriously teleported from Phoenix, Arizona to a fantasy world where her life is in constant danger. She considers this an upgrade. Someone evil is looking for her, and she doesn't know why. Someone who seems to know a lot about her has promised they'll help her, but she doesn't know who they are. All that matters to Callie is that magic is real and one way or another she's going to learn it. The end of the world is coming up, sure, but Callie won't need to worry about that. In fact, by the time she even finds out about it one of the doomsday devices will already be destroyed, and the authorities will be well on the way to dealing with the other one. It's fine. Everything will be smooth sailing. Almost certainly. Probably. Chapters are usually about 2500-3500 words, and the goal is to post 2-3 per week but I sometimes get busy or have some writers block. It's your standard portal fantasy / Isekai premise, but unlike some the main character's time on Earth and how she got pulled into another world will (eventually) be explored. Some slight GameLit-feeling stuff later, no menus or level-ups but there's something suspiciously like a skill tree when the magic system gets going. No number crunching, and while the main character will get to do some silly stuff she won't be a god like in some fics (and will in fact spend a lot of time being badly outclassed by her enemies). Some reader interaction, ranging from adding to the worldbuilding to occasionally making big important decisions about skill progression. Please note that the main character is flawed and impulsive, and will make some stupid decisions. That's part of the story, but I get that it's not for everyone. Trigger Warnings: Foster care system references, crappy parenting. Some mental health adjacent stuff, specifically the main character has some issues where she experiences varying levels of empathy and emotional vulnerability depending on the day (it's complicated and not meant to portray any real-world conditions). Occasional violence including mention of death and grievous bodily harm, but no detailed descriptions of gore.

Why is his mother’s former life shrouded in mystery? Only time will tell…
8 133A Student...Like You
Fighting over the most ridiculous stuff, trying to escape punishments using all sorts of tricks, bemoaning the non-existent cafeteria or perhaps, the soaring price of the food there. Arguing like mad with friends but then going back to them only, when loneliness sets in.

This is my first Web Novel. I'll upload one episode every Monday. Constructive criticism is most welcome! I hope you all enjoy reading the story! Thank You!!
