"Pakidala sa bahay 'yong mga hindi ko pa tapos, doon ko na ituloy,"
Inutos ko na lang na dalhin sa bahay 'yong iba pang kailangan kong pirmahan. Gutom na si Tricia at ako rin naman.
Nang makasakay kami sa elevator ay sasara na sana ang pinto nito nang biglang may kamay na humarang. The door opened again at bumungad samin si Miguel.
Ito na naman?
What if paalisin ko 'to rito? Nakakairita. Kung hindi lang mahalaga samin 'yong tatay niya.
Sa laki ng free space sa elevator ay sa side pa siya ni Tricia tumabi.
Inilapit ko ang mukha ko sa tenga ni Tricia at bumulong. "Let's palit,"
"Huh?"
She looked at me, confused pero hindi ko na ito pinansin. Dumaan ako sa likod niya at ako ang tumabi ron sa lalaki. Si Tricia na ngayon ang nasa dulo at nasa gitna ako.
"Hi, Architect," bati niya at ibinaling ang tingin kay Tricia. "Doc, hello po,"
Aba, ano ba 'to? Pacute, amp. Kala mo naman pogi.
Tricia just smiled at him at inalis din agad ang tingin.
Dasurb.
"Doc, kakain po ako. Baka po gusto niyo sumabay,"
The disrespect of this bit—Lord, pahingi po pasensya.
"Ah, no na but thank you for the offer. Kakain kami ni Architect n'yo," sagot ni Tricia at tumingin sakin.
Oh, pak! Uwi, Miguel.

"Saan po kayo? Baka doon din ako,"
"You can ask Architect, nandito rin naman s'ya."
I smirked. Tricia Robredo everyone. I love her answer. Kahit na alam kong iniiwasan ni Tricia ang makipagaway lalo na't inaalagaan niya rin ang pangalan ng Mama Leni niya at wala sa nature n'ya ang ganon talaga. I do like how she answered Miguel this time.
Ano ba naman kasi 'yon? Nandito rin ako pero si Tricia lang kinakausap? Papansin yorn?
"Arki?" Tawag sakin ni Miguel.
"Nag pareserve ako, for two lang."
"I think we can ask them for an extra, Arki,"
"I think no, can't you eat alone?" Irita kong tanong dahil pinipilit n'ya talaga.
I felt Tricia's hand sa likod ko. Slowly rubbing it. When I looked at her, she's looking at me softly. It's like her eyes are saying na I should calm down.
And I did. I sighed to let it all out.
Ano ba 'tong elevator na 'to? Ang tagal.
Tahimik kaming nag iintay na makababa dahil nasa pinakamataas na floor kami nang biglang umakto na parang may masakit 'yong Miguel.
Agad na napatingin si Tricia at nilapitan ito. Trying to check what's happening.
Hinayaan kong gawin ni Tricia ang kailangan niyang gawin bilang doctor. But when I saw Miguel smiling, I didn't hesitate to stop Tricia's hand from touching him.
"Tricia, stop it, there's nothing wrong with that guy,"
Hindi nag dalawang isip si Tricia at binitawan naman ito dahil tumigil din sa pag arte si Miguel. Nang makabalik siya sa tabi ko, I slowly wrapped my hands around her waist. She flinched a bit but eventually, I felt her body relaxed.
I saw Miguel looked at my hands na nakahawak sa waist ni Tricia. Tiningnan niya ako ng masama pero hindi ko pinansin 'yon. At sa wakas ay nag bukas na 'yong pinto.
Sabay kaming nag lakad ni Tricia palabas but when I remembered something, I stopped and looked back at Miguel.

"Don't you dare lay your hands or come near Tricia again, o sa kung sino mang taong mahalaga sakin. I swear to God, Miguel hindi lang ikaw ang babagsak," I looked sharply at him. "Pati tatay mo."
After I said that, I walked away, holding Tricia's hand.
"Anak 'yon nung ka-meeting mo kanina, diba?"
I nodded.
"Baka i-sumbong ka non sa tatay n'ya,"
"So what? As if hindi ko kayang wala 'yong tatay niya."
"Bakit ba ang init ng dugo mo ron? I heard he likes me raw,"
Napatingin ako sa kaniya. Paano nalaman nito?
"Your secretary told me kanina," she answered na as if naririnig niya 'yong tanong ko. Then she suddenly smiled. "Are you jealous?"
"What kind of question is that?"
"A yes or no question lang naman,"
"No."
"No?"
"Hindi, Tricia. Don't talk and just walk. Akala ko ba gutom ka na?" Sagot ko. Trying to change the topic.
Nang makalabas kami sa building, didiretso sana si Tricia sa parking nang bigla akong tumigil at nahila rin s'ya dahil hawak ko ang kamay niya.
"Why?"
"Let's not use kotse, mag lakad na lang tayo,"
I saw Tricia immediately smiled while nodding her head.
"Tara?"
We continued walking and she's swaying our hands while jumping like a happy kid.
"Nabigyan ka ba ng candy?" Asar ko.
"Huh?"
"Wala, you look excited,"
"I am! Kakain na tayo, plus nag walk pa tayo!"
Hinayaan ko lang s'yang gawin ang gusto niya. Binabati siya ng mga tao na nakakasalubong namin and she's doing the same. Kahit na may ibang nag papapicture pa, hindi n'ya binitawan ang kamay ko. Minsan pa ay isinasama n'ya ako.
Nang sa wakas ay nakarating kami sa kakainan namin, I saw how pawis Tricia is. Ikaw ba naman salubungin ng maraming tao sa labas at nag tatatalon pa s'ya, sinong hindi papawisan? Mukhang maling idea na mag lakad.
Kinuha ko 'yong panyo ko sa bulsa ko and I gently wiped her sweat sa noo. She looked at me, shocked pero hinayaan niya lang akong gawin 'yon.
Umupo kami sa pinareserve kong pwesto and looked at the menu.
"You can order whatever you want, I'll pay." I said while scanning the menu.
Wala akong natanggap na sagot. When I looked up to see anong ginagawa niya, I saw her very focused sa menu. Napangiti ako.
She's really hungry.
Nang makaorder kami ay nag papicture pa 'yong waiter kay Tricia at sakin. Hindi ko alam bakit nasama na naman ako na isang camera shy pero hindi na lang ako tumanggi.
"You are really famous," I said right after makaalis nung waiter.
"Hindi naman, I think it's because ngayon lang din nila ako nakita. Usually kasi it's always Ate Aiks and Jill, diba?"
"Hmm, yeah I see. You have the looks also, e."
"Sus, so maganda na ba ako sayo n'yan?"
"Oo."
Natahimik s'ya sa sagot ko. I mean, why do I need to deny that fact?
Parang halos lahat naman ay nagagandahan sa kaniya.
"Can I ask you something, Tricia?"
She nodded and waited na mag salita ako ulit.
I guess this is the right time to ask her this one.
"Have you.. ever been inlove?"
"Wow, pang showbiz ang tanungan," she said at natawa. "But seriously speaking, yes. With many things, especially my work and of course my family,"
"No, like sa isang tao. Naranasan mo na bang mag mahal at mahalin pabalik?"
"Hmm, yes. I have one ex," she admitted. "Why so random naman ng tanong mo?"
"Nothing, just a random question na nag pop sa head ko,"
"I see, how about you then?"
"Ako?"
"Yes, have you ever been in love, Architect?" She asked, showing interest sa isasagot ko.
One thing about Tricia, kapag kausap mo s'ya hindi mo mararamdaman na hindi siya interesado sa sinasabi mo. Palagi niyang pinapakita na interesado s'ya sayo, sa sinasabi mo, at sa isasagot mo.
I nodded slowly.
"You loved her naman?"
"And how about her? She loved you?"

A Generic Dungeon Core Story
When one falls… what happens? Do they just disappear into an endless abyss? Do they got to a final resting place to lay forever? Do they get to look down proudly upon the world from the clouds or look up in regret as they are burned and tortured? One man… person found out the hard way as he fell into a dark abyss after having surely died only to found himself awake again with most of his memories and knowledge blocked of as he was reincarnated into a 10ft cube as a small glowing sky blue orb…. This is my first actual foray to the world of webnovels as I’ve never wrote any stories before… *cough cough * edgy horny filled teenage fanfics do not count whatsoever *cough cough*. I am very new to the world of novels and I am not a native English speaker so expect a lot of grammar mistakes. The story will update on weekends on Saturday or whenever I feel like uploading as I do not have much free time and this is only a novel I write to improve my writing skills. What can you expect from the story? - Dungeons? Of course, this is the main theme of the story. - Multiple leads? Yes, there will be multiple perspectives from many different characters with at least 4 main characters. - Gamelit? The world is ruled by a system… that does absolutely nothing other than a way to view your stats and progression. - Murder hole? No, the lead character has a challenging yet fair view on how dungeons should operate, don’t get me wrong as he will still kill people if they are evil, careless or overestimate their abilities but don’t expect too much death as I feel that most adventurers would be smart enough to know their abilities especially when they have to do it themselves instead on relying on skills or the system. - Cultivation? No, the ability to gain power from sitting still and breathing never made any sense to me and it will be completely broken if the MC gets their hands on it so… no. - Non-human MC? Yes, they are a dungeon after all and yes, dungeons do get avatars but it is a specialized procedure that many choose not to do. Also, if the dungeon gets an avatar, no he will not be some wish giving demigod or whatever. - Magic? Yes, but it is very limited and down to the ground... from my notes... which means nothing - Art? Yes, I’m a hobbyist-artists so expect some art sketches here and there… I am poor so I do not have line art pens or tablets or adobe photoshop… also no scanners so… pictures of pencil-sketches it is, no coloring though since I am terrible at coloring. - Comedy? Yes, if you can call my bad attempts at humor comedy. - Likeable characters? Hopefully… especially since I accidentally made like... 60 characters … how I made 6 originals into 60?… I have no idea whatsoever… - Adventurers/invaders/delvers/etc…? Yes! My favorite part about dungeon core novels are when delvers delve into the dungeon and reading how they react, I will definitely flesh out the delvers and show how they operate more than usual hopefully. Hopefully you like the story, I will not have a patreon or paypal or whatever mostly because I’m under 18, thanks for at least reading this far and I hope that my writing is at least passable and you enjoy the story… if not then at least I got some writing practice in English.
