《The Typhoon’s Wife》The Typhoon's Wife

Staring at her incredulously,Ryu said,"You do not know how to play and still claim you are going to win.How do you figure that?"
With a big smile,Alicia said,"that is because there is one simple rule which is mandatory and applicable in all future games as well.This is,I win-I win.You win-I win."
Ryu smacked himself and told himself not be shocked in the future whenever she utters such amazing things ."So the rule is, if you win,you win and if I win then also you win?"Ryu confirmed.
A vigorous nod of the head was the answer he received."Missus isn't that unfair to me?"
"How?"A genuinely perplexed Alicia asked.Shaking his head,Ryu explained the rules of blackjack to Alicia and soon they were playing.
After a couple of rounds,where Alicia lost pretty badly,Alicia whined,"Hubby let me win please.This time we will add some stakes."
Ryu laughed and said,"Missus,you are winning. Isn't the rule I win,you win."
Pouting,Alicia collected the cards and shuffled them forcefully.This time she was going to win!
Picking up a card,she dealt one card to Ryu face up and one to herself.Then shuffled and dealt again.After a few minutes,Ryu stopped her and asked,"What do you want to bet?"
"Anything.Not like I am winning.",came the sulky reply.
"Are you sure?Anything?"
"Yes!",Alicia snapped back at him.
They continued playing in to the wee hours of dawn where Alicia lost innumerable games and kept on cursing Ryu.
"You are cheating,right?How can you be so good?You must definitely be doing something!Hmm...were you counting cards?Why are you smiling?Is it because you got caught.?"

Ryu laughed at that,placed the deck of cards back in the box,folded the table and then coming to Alicia said,"I am smiling because you,missus,are a sore loser."With that he kissed the tip of her nose and lightly tousled her hair.
Aggrieved at the insult ALicia replied,"Loser?You are the loser and you are sore!You won by cheating."
Alicia had just finished speaking when Ryu's face appeared before her face.So close that she could see the light stubble,he was now sporting.She immediately moved back and he came closer.Finally when there was no space behind Alicia and she was lying straight on the bed,Ryu went close to her ear and whispered,"Missus,I am not averse to cheating.But not in a deck of cards.I wasn't counting cards because I was counting the number of kisses you are going to give me when I win.Now you need to worry about me cheating...How many games...i mean kissed did you lose tonight?" With this,Ryu turned his head,lightly held her earlobe between his teeth and tugged.Then blowing slowly on it,he moved back.
Moving back,he saw Alicia had closed her eyes tightly.She was pretending to be asleep but the fast rise and fall of her chest were proof of her agitation.Lightly smoothing her hair from her forehead,Ryu turned to sleep on his bed when his wrist was caught.With her eyes still closed,Alicia said,"Sleep here.I seem to sleep better when you are around."
Hearing the soft pleading in her tone,Ryu moved to the other side of the huge hospital bed.Being careful of her injured leg and shoulder,Ryu moved in behind her and lightly kept a hand at her waist.They both fell asleep with only his hand touching her waist.

Young bloods (WIP)
" So-called leaders prostituted their people to wars and abuse. They destroyed families, culture and economies; their hands dyed red by the blood of the children, the families trampled by their lecherous motivations and diabolical war machines. Trained and taught by the Revenants or rather “young bloods” from their war-torn world, we were going to build a better world for us and for the later generations, a world when there shall be no more wars waged over territory, a world where boys and girls can frolic around for all of eternity." -Sasha, Terutan regular army cadet. ‘History is determined by the victors, and here we stand transcended over those who abused us. History is filled with liars, broken promises of eternal prosperity and peace. The more things change, the more things stayed the same: ideology change, location shift but power will always find a place to rest its head. We fought and bled for the adults, the grown men and women who preached of us being their future, preached us of the freedom from tyranny and slavery; no wonder why we hated them so. History is determined by the victor, and there shall be no victors when we’re done.’- Yulia Bronskavya, Red Army Homeguard.
