《Winning Her Back in My Arms》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Nang makabawi ako sa pagkabigla ay agad akong napaupo.
"What was that?!" Mahina pero may diin kong tanong, at alam kong bakas duon ang galit.
"Ace you are already awake?" Gulat na napatingin sa gawi ko ang aking mahal na kaptid.
"Hindi ka naman siguro bulag kapatid. Now tell me what was that?" Sarkastiko kong saad at sinabayan rin iyon ng sarkastikong ngiti.
"A greeting." Sagot nito na para bang hindi man lang nakapa ang galit sa tono nang boses ko. Masigla pa itong lumapit sa akin at tinapik ng bahagya ang ulo ko.
"I am glad you are already awake."
"A greeting? What kind of greeting is that brother?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong niya sa kapatid na ang pinapatungkulan ay ang naging sagot nito sa tanong niya.
"A kiss, napinta kasi bro. Good morning kiss, hello kiss, I miss you kiss, uhhmmm ano pa ba? Uhuh? I love you kiss nga rin pala. Tsk." Masayang sagot ng kapatid ko, nakikita ko ang saya sa mga mata niya, at kakaiba ang sigla sa tono ng mga boses niya. Ibang iba sa Ryker na kilala ko'ng masyadong seryoso sa lahat ng bagay.
"He don't know Ryker." Napalingon ako sa gawi ni Jelene ng magsalita siya, nakayuko ito.
"Ah, I am so sorry I almost forget brother. But we're getting married." Nagulat ako nang kinuha nito ang kamay ni Jelene at ipinakita ang isang kumikinang na diamond ring, isa lang ang nasisiguro ko isa iyong engagement ring.
Nakita ko ang kinang sa mga mata ni Ryker matapos niyang sabihin ang bagay na iyon, nakita ko rin ang ngiti sa mga labi ni Jelene.
"You are unfair." Ang nasabi ko na lang.
"I just thought you'll wait for me to be awake before you'll decide. You tell me to fight for you and yet when I wake up I will just find out that you are already getting married? That is not fair Jelene." Tinitigan ko siya ng maigi, yung titig na parang binabasa ang laman ng isip niya.

Hindi nagsalita si Jelene, she's just there looking at the floor. As if it was a precious gem she adored a lot.
"It was a fair fight brother, she was once yours yet you let her slip off your finger. You let her go, no you push her away so you can let go. Now you don't have the right to say that it is not fair. I am having the chance you once pushed away Ace and I promise I wont let it slip off my finger." Napayuko ako sa narinig, dahil tama. Tamang tama ang mga sinabi niya, tamang tama ang lahat. Ako mismo ang nagtulak kay Jelene palayo, at ngayon anong karapatan kong bawiin siyang muli.
Ngunit siya mismo ang nagsabing kailangan kong mabuhay para mabawi sila! Hindi man iyon direkta ngunit pinanghawakan ko iyon. May chance pa ako at si Jelene mismo ng nagsabi nun. Sasagot pa sana ako nang sumabat si Jelene.
"Ryker I almost forgot but he need to be checked. He just wake up. Hon please call the doctors outside." Malambing na pakiusap ni Jelene kay Ryker at nagdulot iyon ng kakaibang sakit sa dibdib ko.
"Wala akong napansin na doktor sa labas pagpasok ko dito Jelene."
"Uhmm hon can you find his doctor pretty please?!" Pakiusap ni Jelene sabay yakap kay Ryker, naibaling ko ang paningin sa ibang dereksiyon. Parang piniga ang dibdib ko sa sakit.
Agad namang lumabas si Ryker.
"You hate me yet magkapareho lang rin pala tayo, parehong mapanakit. Ang pinagkaiba hindi kita pinaasa." Hindi ko mapigilang sumbat dahil masyadong masakit ang nakita ko at narinig.
"Ang pinagkaiba, pinaasa kita para mabuhay ka. Isa pa, nasasaktan kita ngunit hindi iyon ang intensiyon ko Ace."
"Hindi ko rin naman intensiyong saktan ka ha? Hindi ko intensiyong magmahal ng iba para masaktan ka. Matagal ko na siyang mahal bago ka pa man dumating at bago pa man kita nakilala." Napatingin siya sa akin ng deretso. At hindi ako nagkakamali nakita ko ang sakit na bumalatay sa mga mata niya.

Omnicrafter (A Crafting Adventure LitRPG)
Countless twenty-something-year-olds around the world wish every day for a chance to go back in time to start practicing their passions sooner in life. Tabitha is one such woman. With all of her youth spent playing online games where crafting was as simple as gathering materials and clicking a "craft" button to put them together, she never gained any actual experience in making things. Every attempt to create something in the real world is met with disaster. Her heart yearns for being the master crafter of her virtual youth, but she's the type who burns water when trying to cook. That changes when she wakes up and finds herself in a game-like fantasy world where crafting comes as naturally to her as breathing. She still has to put in the hard work of crafting herself, but the system helps her out to make what was once impossible for her possible. She gets all the fun of making things and flexing her creative spirit while not needing any years of training nor study to build her skill up! While she might not have any idea how she got to this strange world, she does know that she's not going to waste her chance and is going to make the most out of this new opportunity to craft everything! An "Omnicrafter" was what they called people in the MMORPGs she played who maxed out every single crafting class, and that is exactly what Tabitha plans on doing with her new life! The crafting side of this series is heavily inspired by games like the Atelier series and the critically-acclaimed Final Fantasy XIV (which has a free trial, you know!)*. If there's a problem, it can be solved by crafting. Also, in case the title and synopsis didn't make it obvious enough, this series is going to focus on crafting all the things. Wooden spears and protective cuirasses? You got it! Healing tonics and farming equipment? Sure! Elaborate cupcakes and customizable fantasy golems? Darn straight! Weapons with a broken amount of different buffs applied to them due to the crafting process and materials used? You know it! The most amazing fishing rod to ever exist? Well, obviously. Fishing is the true endgame only after crafting, after all! So, if you like alchemy, blacksmithing, carpentry, cooking, leatherworking, tailoring, engineering, rune forging, magical enchanting, or basically any other type of crafting found in RPGs, come check the story out! An omnicrafter doesn't just focus on one specific type of crafting. A true omnicrafter is the best at all types of crafting! *This is a meme, I'm not sponsored by FFXIV, please don't hate me.
