˜"*° ALITAPTAP.
•'¯'•
Makalipas nang ilang araw, lagi pa rin bumibisita si Goyong para kamustahin ako, minsan nga dinadalhan pa ako ng regalo.
Hindi ako makatulog, hindi ko alam kung bakit. Ilang beses ko na pinipikit ang aking mga mata pero ayaw talaga, nagsinidi nalang ako ng kandila at nagsulat sa aking taalarawan.
Habang nagsusulat ako at may narinig akong ingay mula sa aking bintana, mahina ang boses pero rinig ko. Parang tinatawag ang aking pangalan, agad akong tumungo doon kung may tao.
Si Goyong pala. Kinuha ko agad ang aking balabal at isinoot ito.
"Goyong? Gabi na ah, anong ginagawa mo dito?"
"Hindi ako makatulog kaya pumunta ako dito. Sama ka sakin, mayroon akong nakita sigurado akong magugustuhan mo iyon."
"Ha? Pano ako bababa? Hindi naman pwede sa pinto andun si Itay."
"Dito nalang. Wag kang mag-alala, aalayan kita."
"Sige na nga."
Sinubukan kong umakyat sa bintana at inapakan ang pwede kong maapakan pero nadulas ako. Ano bayan, Floribeth. Ayun na nga lang ang gagawin mo nadulas ka pa, tsk. Nasalo agad ako ni Goyong.
"Ayos ka lang ba? May masakit?" Taranta niyang tanong.
"Ang saya! Akalain mo yun." Tawa kong sabi.
"Pinakaba mo naman ako. May masakit ba?" tanong niya muli at umiling naman ako.
Nagsimula na kaming maglakad. "Saan ba tayo pupunta?"
"Basta."
Pinabayaan ko nalang at sinundan ko siya. Nagulat nalang ako 'bat parang ang liwanag sa may bandang kanan kaya kumapit ako sa kaniya.
"Wag kang mag-alala. Mga alitaptap yan at diyan tayo pupunta." Sabi nya sa akim. Aalisin ko na sana ang aking kamay na nakasabit sa kaniya ngunit nagsalita siya.
"Huwag mong bitawan ang aking kamay. Komportable na ako" Namula ako sa sinabi niya, mabuti nalang madalim pa.
Nakarating na kami kung nasaan ang mga alitaptap. Manghang-mangha ako sa aking nakita tinignan ko si Goyo na nakangiti at humuli siya ng isa, siguro may hihilingin siya. Ginaya ko naman ang ginawa niya at humiling 'Sana matapos na ang digmaang ito para wala nang gulo at sana si Goyong ang tamang lalaki para sa akin. Ayokong aminin pero napamahal na ako sa kaniya.' At binuksan ko na ang aking palad at lumipad na ito.

"Ano ang hiniling mo?" Tanong niya.
"Di ko sasabihin sayo. Baka hindi pa matupad eh."
"Pwede ba kitang mayakap?" Tumango naman ako. "Ang pagyakap ay isang tahimik na paraan ng pagsasabi... mahalaga ka sa akin." Sabi niya sa akin.
"Ang tatamis naman nang sinabi mo sa akin, totoo ba yan?"
"Oo naman."
Hindi pa kami kumulas sa yakap. Mga ilang minuto ay nagsalita si Goyong.
"Kailangan kong pumunta sa Nueva Ecija. Pero, babalik ako dito pagkatapos..."
"Ha? Bakit?"
"Magkakaroon ng labanan at kahit ayokong mahiwalay sa iyo, kailangan talaga akong pumunta doon."
"Ayos lang. Dapat kang maka-uwi dito malalagot ka sa akin kapag hindi makabalik."
"Pangako."
"Tsaka nga pala. Pag uwi mo hanapin mo ako at doon ko sasabihin ang aking sagot"
"Sige, lalo tuloy akong nasabik."

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.

I'm just a Side Character
Ataashi Hitoka is your basic average high-schooler with above average perception and deduction skills. Basically, he can read the room better than an average person. We get a third-person view on an actual main character as well as a first-person view on what being a background character feels like. This story is all about romance, expected clichés, a totally basic romcom slice of life story (with a whole lot of plot twists).
