《Book 1: Falling for Ricci Rivero (COMPLETED)》Chapter 24: Unang gabi, batangas.
Advertisement
Palubog na ang araw ng dumating si aling mameng sa bahay.
Magiliw na sinalubong ni lai lai ang kanyang lola.
Tumulog naman si ricci sa mga bitbitin ni aling mameng, may dala syang dahon ng saging, isda, kangkong at bagoong.
"Pasensya na kayo iha at iho, ngayon laang ako nauwi. Naging matrabaho kase ang pagsasaka."
"Nako wala po iyon, tulungan napo namin kayo ni ricci sa mga dala nyo."
Agad ngumiti si aling mameng, "salamat iha, lilinisin lang natin itong mga isdang binili ko ng maiihaw na at papakuluan lang ang kangkong. Batid kong nagugutom na kayo sa haba at pagod nyo sa inyong biyahe papunta rito."
Matapos ilapag ni ricci ang pinamili ay agad na kameng tumungo sa kusina nila lai lai, maliit at may kadiliman din dito tanging iisang lampara lamang ang nagbibigay ilaw sa bahay na ito.
"Pasensya na po aling mameng pero gusto ko lang po sanang tanungin kung, papaano po ang buhay ng walang kuryente at malayo sa kabihasnan? Hindi nyo po ba naisip na manirahan sa maynila?" Dali daling tanong ni ricci halatang nagulat ang matanda.
Kung ako ang tatanungin marahil hindi nga ako magtatagal sa ganto, kung bakasyon siguro oo pero napakalayo neto sa kinagisnan nating lahat. Walang wifi walang kuryente walang signal walang malalapit na mall o ano mang gusali.
Puno ng taniman bentahan ng iba't ibang mga isda buko at kung ano ano pa. Napaka lamig ng simoy ng hangin, napaka layo sa maynila na ating kinalakihan.
"Sa makatuwid anak, hindi ako naninirahan dito sa batangas noon..." pareho kameng nagulat ni ricci, "tiga maynila rin ako kagaya nyo, napadpad lamang ako dito ng minsang isama ako ng aking tiyahin para bumisita sa aming mga kamaganak dito."
"Paano po kayo nanirahan dito?" Hindi ko napigilang magtanong ang buong akala ko ay dito na tumanda si aling mameng.
"Alam nyo na..."
"Pagibig." Matawa tawa pa nitong sabi.
"Ng minsnag mapadpad ako dito inutusan ako ng tiyahin kong bumili ng buko sa palengke. Hindi sinasadyang manakawan ako, agad kong hinabol yung lalake syempre dahil malilintikan ako sa tiyahin ko. Ng bigla kong nakasalubong ang lolo nyo, inakala kong sya ang nagnakaw ng pitakang hawak hawak ko dahil kapareho ng kanyang suot ang naaninag kong kumuha. Nagkamabutihan kame, at pinangako kong babalikan ko sya sa tamang panahon. 5 taon ang inintay namin na puro lamang liham ng bawat isa ang kasama namin. 5 taon at bumalik ako sa batangas iniwana ng buhay na kinagisnan ko at sumama sa taong mahal ko. At dun na nagsimula ang pagibig na hanggang ngayon ay kasama ko." Napangiti si aling mameng pagkatapos ay tinuloy na ang kanyang ginagawa.

"Hindi po ba kayo nagsisi? Na paano kung nagstay po kayo sa maynila?" Tanong ko.
"Hindi iha, sa pagibig ang lahat ay sugal. Mamimili ka lang, susugal ka o hindi ka iibig. Kaya ako, pinili kong sumugal. Hindi ko kakayaning makita ang taong mahal ko na magmahal ng iba kaya pinangako ko sa sarili kong babalikan ko sya. Kahit na napaka tagal ng limang taon pinangako kong babalik ako."
Bilib ako sa pagiibigan ni aling mame at ni lolo.
Sa panahon ngayon bilang nalang ang taong kaya kang hintayin kahit gaano pa katagal.
Yung taong magpaparamdam sayong special ka at magpapatunay na amy pagibig.
Salamat ricci, natagpuan kita.
RICCI'S POV
natapos na kaming kumain.
Malalim narin ang gabi, kailangan narin naming kumuha ng mangilang larawan o video para sa pinunta namin dito. Ang vlog o documentation.
I saw loyre looking up there, mukhang malalik ang iniisp.
Kinuhaan ko ng litrato ang babaeng ito, I can captureillions of photo as long as she is the subject.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Lumingon sya sakin.
"Ricci..." tumambad ang napaka gandang ngiti sakanyang mga labi, ang ngiti na pumapawi ng pighati.
"Yes babe?" Hindi ko napigilang ipatong ang aking mga braso sakanyang balikat.
"Wala lang, hindi ko maiwasang titigan ang langit. Ang ganda, nakakahalina." Ngiti pa neto.
Only if she know that she is beyond beautiful compare to the sky.
"Oo nga, ang ganda. Nakakahalina." Bigkas ko habang nakatingin sakanya.
I found my sadness and my happiness in her.
She keeps me alive, knowing she could be my death, susugal ako.
"Ricci... my babe, pinakikilig mo naman ako eh."
"Hindi ko alam na kapag naglahad ka ng katotohanan ngayon eh nakakakilig na pala. Loyre, my babe. You look so wonderful, ayokong maging buwan ka natatakot ako. Na baka pagdating ng araw ay iwan mo ko, hindi ko kakayanin. Not now okay?"
Kaya kong matalo ng ilamg beses sa basketball pero hindi sa babaeng kaharap ko ngayon, the famous rivero they all know cries and adores one girl. Stephani loyre.
"Sino bang nagsasabing nawawala ako sayo pagdating ng araw? Ricci, I will always be here for you no matter what lalaban ako, dahil ukaw hindi ka sumuko. I can't wait to introduce you to our family. I'm sure that mom and dad would love to meet you babe."

Nawala ang matamis kong ngiti, may kung anong kaba ang dumapo sa akin.
Only if...
Hindi ko hinayaang talunin ako ng pangambang ito hondi ko pinahalata ang pait.
I'll promise to fight, I won't accept defeat this time.
Even if... they won't allow us.
"Can I ask you a thing babe?" Tanong ni loyre.
"Anything for my princess."
"Can you please... sing me a song while we go our way back to the house?"
"Your wish is my command."
Now playing Little things
"Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me" I held her hand, my princess my babe. How could you be so perfect?
"But bear this mind it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me" regardless of who you are or who am I to your life... lalaban ako, babe you give me million reasons to stay to fight.
"I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly" your dimples or sometimes pimples doesnt make you anything less than beautiful in my eyes, Stephanie Loyre I can't see my future without you.
"I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you, oh it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things"
"You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
Maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me" I still screenshots those cute conversations we had, and smile like an idiot everytime I read it. Babe you make me crazy and fuck I love that shit.
"I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh
You still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me"
"I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you and all these little things"
"You never love yourself half as much as I love you
You'll never treat yourself right darling but I want you to
If I let you know, I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you oh"
"I've just let these little things slip out of my mouth
Because it's you, oh it's you, it's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you (all these little things)
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if it's true, it's you, it's you they add up to
I'm in love with you, and all your little things"

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.

A Step Behind Death
Please share your thoughts about the story! Feedback and criticism is welcome, it'll help me improve my writing. "The final year of high school is the most difficult." This statement has never been truer for Damis, a student attending one of the many schools in the City of Sundridge. He never wanted anything more than to live a peaceful life, going so far as to avoid having large group of friends, indulging in dragged out conversations, or being involved in any other activity that requires him to invest a large amount of effort to accomplish. Instead, he poured all of his efforts into studying, dwelling in his internal monologues, and complaining about the things that annoy him to his one and only friend, Noah. Before long, he ended up as one of the best students in his class. As far as he was concerned, he was content with how he lived. But, after a confrontation with an eccentric girl named May, one of his classmates since the first year of high school, things have suddenly gotten out of hand. And as a result, his life became a lot more hectic than it used to be. Bound by a deal he could not refuse, his life as May's assistant began. At this rate, can he still spend the final days of his high school life in peace? Welcome to the life of Damis, the boy who's always A Step Behind Death. The cover art is made by friend of mine. I plan on making this novel into a webtoon once it becomes the best it can be. English isn't my first language, so expect some grammar bumps along the way.
