Book 2: Rivero Has Fallen

Chapter 2: Find her

I pushed my chair and stood up, as I immediately held my phone and dialed my personal investigator's number.

"Hello Sir." he answered.

"Hi mendel, I have a task for you."

"What task is it sir?"

"I'll send you the picture, after I end this call, all you have to do is find her. Search where she lives, what does she do for a living..." bukod sa manguha ng wallet. "send her personal informations to me as soon as you can okay?"

"Copy Sir aldridge." I ended the call.

I went to my favorite milktea house.

"One winter melon milk tea full sugar large."

"Okay sir." titig na titig sya sakin. Ricci's presence again I think.

She gave me my receipt as I sit near at the window.

She came and gave me my drink, one thing that caught my attention was the name written on my drink.

"Ricci?" Actually hindi ito ang unang beses na akalain ng ibang tao na ako si Ricci.

I met hundreds of people and they also called me Ricci, hindi ko sila masisi. Ricci and I are Identical twins. So we really do look a like.

Ricci lived with my whole family while me? I was left alone at the stateswith my grandmother for some reasons.

sabi kase nila mom, sakitin ako nung bata so wala silang nagawa kung hindi iwanan ako kay grandma para matutukan ako ng mga doctor sa ibang bansa.

Flashback...

"Mom I'm home!" I told mom and kissed her.

"Oh, Kids baba na. Ric-- Aldridge is already here!" She tried to hide her shockness.

"Mom, do you still miss Ricci?" I asked her.

Ricci died exactly 1 year ago at this day, this is the first time I saw them after I went to a very serious accident.

Luckily I survived... but Ricci? Didn't.

Mom said Ricci and I used to bond when we are younger, we also loved to play basketball daw.

I don't have this memory, since I had serious accident. I lost my memory. Basta ang sbai ni mom noon bago pa ako tumira sa ibang bansa kasama si lola sobrang inseparable daw kame ni ricci.

magkahiwalay ang aksidente namin ni Ricci, sya sa pinas naaksidente while ako sa ibang bansa.

2 months after that accident atsaka lang ako nagising.

sabi ni mom akala daw nya dalawang anak nya ang mawawala. hindi ko manlang naabutan ang libing ni Ricci.

it took me a while bago mapalagay ang loob ko sakanila since lahat ng alaala ko ay nawala.

1 year din ang inabot, to somehow accept the fact that I am not going to fully remember them anymore, or At least I can but it will take me a very long time to.

"Of course, I do. Sahia will always be in our hearts..." she wiped her tear and started to put plates.

nagpasya si mom na dito nalang daw ako tumira, hindi na nya ako pinabalik kay lola.

since that day, nakilala ko si chezca sabi nya sakin sya daw ang fiance ko.

when I asked mom she said chezca and I have our own baby, she showed me khalib.

from that moment chezca and I decided to live in the same house, hindi ko man sya maalala completely kailangan kong maging mabuting ama kay khalib.
