《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.

Queer Tales From A Street Nominally Associated With Your Reality
The street is not from your world, and yet it's attached, clinging like a shadowy limpet to the edge of your London, your city skyline stabbing into it from above. Or well that's what we tell ourselves, no one who lives here really knows. We are after all just regular folk displaced from our original realities. Just a bunch of folks with queer tales from a street nominally associated with your reality. What to expect: - A series of interlinked short stories gradually unpacking the lives, complications and mysteries associated with those who live in the street - A weird pseudo-British setting where physics works inconsistently, and houses move position regularly - Stories filled with LGBTQ+ characters, and in particular ones on the trans/nonbinary spectrum - Potentially iffy grammar, I'm new to publishing my work online, so whilst I am checking things before posting it’s a near certainty that some things will slip through - A schedule of one chapter every two weeks.
