Phobia
Tala's Point of view.
2 week has been past after what happen, I still remember how much Vince tried to protect me for the person who molested me at bar.
Here I am, quietly sitting on the side bench at mall. I'd contact Vince at morning, I ask him if he's going to allowed me if ever na gusto ko pumunta sa kung saang lugar.
And thankfully he said yes. It's already 1 at the afternoon ng makita ko siya na kapapasok lang sa mall. Dahil bungad lang ang bench na kinauupuan ko sa main door ng mall ay mabilis niya akong nakita.
Kumaway siya sa akin at ganun din ako. He looks so handsome, I admit it. Gwapo naman talaga Vince, siya yung taong makikitaan mo na may mga tattoo sa bandang leeg at paa but his tattoo makes women chase after him.
"Kanina ka pa?" anang tanong niya ng tuluyan makalapit.
"Yeah, here!" aniya ko at mabilis na binigay ang hawak kung paper bag.
"What is this?" aniya agkatapos ay takhang tinignan ang laman nito.
"It's your Jacket. Kakakuha ko lang niyan sa laundry shop kaya ang bango pa." natatawang aniya ko pagtapos ay sabay namin tinungo ang supermarket.
Gusto ko kase makakain ng mas maayos since matagal na naman akong hindi nakakain ng matinong pagkain.
"Lahat iyan bibilhin mo?" agad na tanong ni Vince sa likod ko kaya agaran na hinarap ko siya at tumango.
"Kailangan talaga may alcohol drinks na kasama?" takhang tanong niya kaya tumango ulit ako.
"That is my stress reliever syaka para maayos ako makatulog. Look at my eyebag." aniya ko at tinuro ang ilalim ng mata ko.
"Ang laki na dahil wala akong matinong tulog these last two weeks." dagdag ko pa dahilan para pakatitigan niya ako.

"You don't have eyebags. I can't see it." aniya na natatawa pa dahilan para taasan ko siya ng kilay. He just chuckles at inunahan na ko makapunta sa counter habang tinutulak ang pushcart na siyang inagaw niya sa akin.
After the grocery, we decided to eat in jollibee. Ang daming pwedeng pagkainin pero mas pinili niyang dito dahil hindi rin naman siya nagugutom. Nang dumating ang order namin ay agad akong kumain habang si Vince naiiling at natatawang tumingin sa akin.
"What?" aniya ko.
"Nothing. Just continue." pagtapos nun ay kumain din siya.
Tahimik kaming kumain parehas hanggang sa matapos. Nagpahinga kami saglit syaka napagpasyahan na umalis at pumunta sa arcade.
Hindi ko alam na mahilig pala dito sa Vince dahil malaki ang ngiti sa labi niya ng tuluyan kaming makapasok. Agad siyang nagpapalit ng token samantalang ako ay doon sa machine nag-papalit.
Sinundan ko lang si Vince hanggang sa huminto siya sa harap ng basketball. Agad siyang naghulog ng token pagtapos ay sunod-sunod na binato ang bola na siya din' lagi niyang pagkakashoot.
Nakailang round pa si Vince, mukhang gustong-gusto talaga niya ang Basketball. Habang naglalaro siya ay naisipan kong maglakad-lakad muna, pumayag din naman siya nung nagpaalam ako kaya heto ako ngayon.
Nakatingin sa batang pilit na inaabot ang manika sa loob ng machine na hinuhulugan ng token. Mukhang umiiyak ang bata at nanghihingi sa mama niya ng another token na mukhang wala na dahil umiiling ito habang pilit na binubuhat ang anak.
"Hey, little kiddo!" aniya ko ng lapitan ko siya. Parehas silang napatingin sa akin na siyang nginitian ko lang.
"Bakit po?" mabilis siyang nagpunas ng luha at nakangiting hinarap ako kaya nakita ko yung tatlong ipin niyang sira pero kahit ganun maganda ito at ang puti.
"Do you want this toy, baby?" anang tanong ko, nakita ko kung paano kumunot ang noo ng bata.

"Ano po?" takhang tanong niya kaya napangiti ako.
"I mean, gusto mo ba itong manika?" agad na tanong ko kaya mabilis na tumango ang batang babae habang nagtatatalon.
Nakita kung ngumiti ang nanay ng bata.
"Sorry." she mouthed.
Tumango lang ako pagtapos ay naghulog ng token para kunin ang manikang gusto ng bata. Wala pang ilang minuto ng mabilis ko itong nakuha na siyang nagbigay ng malakas na tawa sa bata at niyakap ako sa paa.
"Salamat po ateng maganda! Mama, ang galing po ni ate!" masiglang sabi niya sa ina na inang-ayunan din nito.
"Ano pong pangalan ninyo ate?" aniya pagtapos ay nagpabuhat sa ina.
"Tala, that is my name." tumango naman ang nanay ng bata pero ang bata ay nakakunot. Marahil ay hindi siya nakakaintindi pa ng english.
Nakangiting nagpaalam ako sa kanina. Kumaway sa akin ang bata bago sila tuluyan makaalis.
Nakita ko si Vince na nakatingin lumapit sa akin at marahang ginulo ang buhok ko.
"Tapos ka na?" aniya ko pagtapos ay kuwaring inis na inayos ang buhok na ginulo niya.
"Yeah! Tara na?" anyaya niya kaya tumango ako. Sayang yung token ko!
Nang makalabas kami sa arcade ay mabilis namin tinahak ang daan papunta sa elevator. Saktong pagdating namin ay ang pagbukas din ng elevator.
Mabilis na nawala ang ngiti ko ng makilla ko yung dalawang tao sa gilid na nagkukulitan.
"Ayos ka lang?" agad na tanong ni Vince dahilan para mapukaw ang tingin sa amin ni Allen at Liam.
"Y-Yeah!" utal na sabi ko at pumwesto sa gilid ng elevator. Parehas na nawalan ng imik sila Allen habang si Liam ay taas kilay na nakatingin sa akin. Mukhang napansin iyon ni Vince dahil mabilis siyang humarap sa akin at ngumiti.
"Nanginginig ka, okay ka lang?" aniya pagtapos ay pilit akong pinakalma.
Narinig kong napamura si Allen at mabilis na tinulak si Vince daholan para magulat ito.
"What the fuck, dude?" aniya pagtapos ay takhang tumingin ay Allen na mabilis na pinindot ang next floor.
"Alam mong may phobia ka sa elevator, sumakay ka pa." sermon niya sa akin ng makalabas.
"Alam mong may-asawa ka humaharot ka pa!" sigaw ko pero sa isip lang. Kaya kong sabihin iyan pero nandito kami sa mall mamaya maiskandalo kami.
"Bakit hindi mo sinabi?" agad n tanong ni Vince na ngayon ay nag-aalalang tumingin sa akin.
Ngumiti lang ako sa kanya.
"Boyfriend ka ba niyan?" bigla kaming napatingin ni Allen kay Liam na ngayon ay nataas ang kilay na pasalit-salit ang tingin sa akin at kay Vince.
Bakit parang kinabahan ako?

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!

Neophyte: Common Route
A story about self-discovery, interpersonal relationships, magic and magical creatures-- and a silent war. Marsha is about seven years past adulthood and still feels like a scared child in her parents' home. This is exacerbated when she discovers her father has apparently keyed up his destructive, sadistic habits-- leading to a mad dash out of the house with precious cargo in tow and only one idea where to go. This begins her journey, leading to a discovery that will change her life forever. And she never wants to go back. (Warnings: Lots of descriptions of abusive, sadistic and otherwise traumatizing and triggering behavior that a parent perpetuated toward a child or multiple children. Descriptions of violence, a main character with emotional issues that will be dealt with, and a whole lot of the 'aftermath' of battles in a war. Even a few descriptions of some of those battles. Things of that nature. If you can't handle one of those, please do not read.) {I had this idea to write a 'common route' and then 'romance routes' like they do in otomes? Book 1 is the common route, and then at book 2, you choose your love interest. Each of which is encased in their own book.}
