Chapter 1: The Time I Waited for You
Hi! I am Ryzen, an ordinary child and student, I am at my last years of study and is ready to work soon. By the way, I study at the "University of Sepora Colleges", I have my dad, my mom, my sister and my brother. We're the Perfect Family.....sort of.
Back in Sevum City:
Daddy? Daddy....Ryzen slowly opens the door that leads to his Fathers room, Daddy I had a bad dream can I sleep with yo-, Ryzen asked, D-Daddy who is that? A-and where is Mommy? Ryzen asked with a soft voice which seemed polite because he was still very sleepy, Ah th-this is Mommy, so go now my boy and sleep with your brother, me and mom~ (dad said in sarcasm as if he was truly hiding something) is doing something private okay kid? Now go, shoo! Ryzen left his dad's room, wondering if his Mother changed its hair color from blonde to black.
Ryzen: I was 5 at that time, not knowing stuff like that. I can't forgive myself for what happened, about why i believed what Dad had said, which made mom leave us when I was 7. Yeah, you can say that! Why didn't Ryzen tell his mom about it? Even a five-year-old can tell that to a parent! Then people will tell you more and more and more, for your information, I tried to do it, but dad's excuse seemed believable because even my mother didn't show any sign of suspicion towards Father, which dragged me to the question "Why?" why did she leave me all alone? It always hurts....
Days passed and Mom never came back, due to this Ryzen felt alone, he often cries in his room telling himself "Mom i want you to hug me", Ryzen always wished for her Mom to come back because what his Dad explained to him is that his Mom went off to work on a very far away land and might never come back, since Ryzen loved his Mother so much he often fantasizes about his Mom beside him giving him a warm hug.
After Years of Learning in Ryzen's High School Days he finished!
September 5, 2003, at this date Ryzen was about to Graduate High School, he wished and wished and wished for his Mom to be there at the School ready to surprise him on the stage but after the countless hours he waited for...his mom never came back to visit him or to congratulate him, When Ryzen got home, he ran to his room hiding the tears falling down from his eyes to his cheecks fearing that his Fathers Maids and Servants bully him and judge him once again, he cried and cried in his room saying;
¡Mom!
¡Mom!
¡Mom!
Mom why did you do this, you never even came back for me, i thought you might come back because you love me even though the others said you would not!!
I can't Believe you (he dragged materials and appliances at his room throwing them everywhere) Mom (sobbing) why!? why!?
After some time he fell asleep with a heart burning with rage inside of him.
The next Morning!
Ryzen woke up with a loud scream of a woman, it was a maid at their place, he rushed to the room where he heard the scream and found out that it was his father's room, he got in the room and saw the wet floor, his brother asked him not to go in without a slipper because there are broken glass on the floor due to the shocked maid. He got down the stairs and took his slippers and got up quickly thinking what might have happened to his father for a maid to act like that....
Ryzen: Did father do something wrong again with the maid? Is that the reason that left her shocked?
Ryzen entered the room and saw his father calmly sleeping and the maid lying down, he asked his brother about what happened because it seemed like everything is fine except for the maid, his brother didn't answer because even he didn't know what just happened, the maid talked and said g-get doctor, y-your father s-seems d-d-dead.
Ryzen and his brother was left shocked and asked the maid why she said such things about their father, but she can't answer due to shock, so Ryzen got down the stairs and got to the kitchen, opened their refridgerator and took a cold pitcher, he placed it to the glass and brought the glass of water to the maid making her drink and made her sat down properly, due to that action the maid got better, and told them about things she does that others don't see in the morning.
Maid: Thank you for the water Sir Ryzen, to tell you both I always come up here since I am a personal maid of your father Sir, I usually get to his room when he is awake but at this hour he should already be awake, I thought he was just tired so I left and came back to wake him up later, b-but when I came back he didn't change his sleeping position, so I got a little off about it, i tired to make him up calmly but when he is not waking up I literally froze and the tray with a glass of water in my hands fell osf, it slided off my hands, thinking that boss, your father sir, might be d-d-dead, so I shouted to grab everyones attention to come up here and take care of him, but with that kind of loud voice he should have woken up already, but he didn't.
Ryzen's Brother took his phone and called his Dad's personal Doctor, he was shiverring with fear and nervousness but still managed to call the doctor.
Ryzen immediately got down the stairs and asked some other maids to open their gate for the doctor. When the Doctor arrvied they quickly checked up on their father.
Hours Passed!
The Doctor came out of the room and said that they need a personal nurse in their house because their father is not in a good condition, he told them slowly that their father had "Coma", the smiles became frowns , they thought their father was just alright but it tuned out it was the other way around, they all sat in the couch with disbelief.
The Doctor came forward to Ryzens brother and asked him if they can talk privately, his brother said yes and left.
Ryzen was shocked but still continued what he is doing, because he didn't know what else he can do.
Years Passed After that Incident!
When Ryzen was sleeping he dreamt of his Mom one last time.
Ryzen woke up with a "Wet Eye" reminding himself about his personal goals in life, it's the day for his college, Ryzen already finished his vacation life and is prepared to study harder now in his college life thinking that he could be greater than he was before, forgetting about his Mom he packed up his things got to bath and wore his uniform, he visited his Dad's room finding out that the nurse just finished checking up on his father so he sat down beside his dad and said to him, Dad it's my first day of college, I hope that you have a good and healthy body in my graduation, many people missed you, but maybe I don't (ryzen mumbled) but please wake up already, be healthy while you are at rest and don't leave us this early, you still need to see....M-Mom, he sighed and left the house.
While Ryzen is waiting for the bus he suddenly saw a beautiful young woman struggling with the short skirt she had worn. Because of Ryzen's kindness he applied chivalry and helped the young woman, he placed on his jacket in the waist of the young woman telling her to be comfortable with it, The young woman smiled and said thank you, Ryzen was pleased and told the young woman his name....
Ryzen: You're Welcome Ma'am. By the way my name is Ryzen and you are?
Young Woman: I am Sheena
Ryzen: That's good to know
Sheena: Uhm, how could i give you back this jacket?
Ryzen: Oh no it's fine actually, you should keep it, it doesn't matter much.
Sheena: No, No, i can't possibly do that, this is yours and i just borrowed it.
Ryzen: I told you Ma'am it is just fine, you don't need to worry
(On Ryzen's Mind: She's so pretty, but I am out of her league....should i just get her number so she could bring me back my jacket or....)
Sheena: How about your number? Can i have it so I can give this back to you! If it's okay with you
When Ryzen heard what sheena asked, his brain jumped with excitement, asking himself if this was just a dream or if is really true, and then his thinking started to get corny and pretty weird......should i give her flowers when she brings my jacket back, what about chocolates? Girls love chocolates, ack! a girl liked me.
Sheena: Uhm Hello?? Sir Ryzen?? (Starts waving her hands in front of Ryzen's eyes)
Ryzen: Oh uh yes, yes, you can have my number, it is uh, wait oh no i forgot! Let me get my phone in my pocket....wait what!? my phone isn't here either. I'll use my books to maybe list your number.
Sheena: Oh ah my number? It's 677. I like you...
Ryzen: Y-You like m-me? (Ryzen's Book fell to the ground and got wet)
Sheena: No silly, that was my number. It's 6774 545 3968, which follows up the letter i like you hahaha
Ryzen: Oh right, I see, sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought for a while that yo- ahh nevermind forget it.
Ryzen got to school afterward and sat on his chair beside the window and started reading his favorite Stary Writing Novel. While he was reading, he saw a familiar face swoop in the door of their classroom, he looked up and got shocked, it was the girl in the bus stop at his school, at the door of his classroom on the first day of school in the University he is in, Ryzen quickly hid his face and made himself stuck on the windows curtain, Ryzen was so embarrassed because of the number incident which is his reason for hiding.
With all of these happening in Ryzen's Life he decided to focus more on the real deal, the real life!
