Bless the Broken Road (Part 3)
Rinig ko ang ganda ng huni ng mga ibon sa kalangitan.
Nandito ako ngayon sa park na malapit lang sa bahay namin. Nakasubsob ako sa aking mga tuhod habang walang tigil na umiiyak.
Questions were running all over my mind.
Bakit pa siya bumalik?
Bakit kailangan kong masaktan ng todo?
Bakit ang hina ko?
Napapadyak na lamang ako sa damuhan. Mababaliw na ako.
"Why are you crying, ate?" napa-angat ako ng tingin ng may marinig akong boses ng batang babae sa aking harap. Naka-puti itong dress habang may hawak na mabukadkad na sunflower.
"It's nothing, little girl." sabi ko sa kanya pero kumunot lamang ang noo niya.
"Nothing lang po? Eh, wala naman pong nakakaiyak sa wala, ah?" sabi 'nung bata kaya mahina akong humalakhak.
Ginulo ko ang buhok niya at bigla siyang ngumuso. Humalakhak akong muli at nakita ko namang hindi na siya nakanguso kundi nakangiti na siya sa akin.
"Yehey! Ngumiti na si ate! Alam mo ate, may nagsabi sa akin na lalaki kanina, nandito rin po siya pero 'nung umaga pa po, na dapat hindi umiiyak ang isang babae kasi nakakawala raw po 'yun ng ganda. Tapos kinwento niya rin po sa akin na sana raw po ay hindi umiyak 'yung babaeng iniwan niya kasi raw po masasaktan din daw siya ng sobra." pagkukwento 'nung bata at napatitig na lamang ako sa batang nasa harap ko.
"T-Talaga? Eh bakit daw u-umalis 'yung kuya at bakit ayaw niyang makitang umiiyak 'yung babaeng iniwan niya?" tanong ko sa kanya pero ngumiti lang ito sa akin at nilagay ang dala niyang sunflower sa gilid ng tenga ko at bigla na lang umalis.
I sigh. Pati bata pinagtatanungan ko na ng mga bakit ko. Nababaliw na nga talaga ako.
"Kailangang umalis 'nung kuya kasi gusto niyang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral para pakasalan niya 'yung babaeng iniwan niya kapag lumaki na sila. Ayaw niya ring makikitang umiiyak 'yung babae kasi mahal na mahal niya ito. Hindi siya nagpaalam na aalis patungong ibang bansa para hindi niya makikitang umiiyak 'yung babae." Narinig ko ang kanyang boses mula sa aking likuran at napatingin na lamang ako sa kanya.

He heard my question and he even answered it. He look at me with a simple smile. Now I know his reasons.
"Alam mo rin ba kung bakit umiiyak 'yung babae ngayon sa harap 'nung lalaki?" may halong hikbing tanong ko sa kanya at umiling naman siya.
"Kasi nasaktan siya 'nung umalis 'yung lalaki. Mahal na mahal na kasi niya ito. Pero umiiyak siya ngayon hindi na dahil sa sakit, alam mo kung bakit?" tanong ko.
"Bakit?" tanong ni Kaesley at tipid akong ngumiti. "Kasi sa wakas, nandito na ulit 'yung lalaki. Nandito na ulit 'yung pinakamamahal niya simula bata pa sila. Nandito ka na ulit." sabi ko at bigla siyang yumakap sa akin ng mahigpit.
Tumulo pa ng todo ang mga luha ko dahil sa nag-uumapaw na saya. "At hindi na aalis pa 'yung lalaki kasi ayaw na niyang umalis at iwan ulit 'yung pinakamamahal niyang babae." sabi ni Kaesley at kumalas na sa yakapan namin.
Hinawakan niya ang pisngi ko at lumapit siya sa akin. Pinagdikit niya ang aming mga noo saka niya hinagkan ang bulaklak na nasa tenga ko.
"Don't worry, Shilly, dahil mas marami pang bulaklak ang hahawakan mo papunta sa akin. When our wedding comes, the flowers will witness how my love for you never faded nor leave. It stay."

The Ancient Core: A Progression Fantasy
The title of [The Ancient One] is bestowed upon an unassuming, forgotten Core. Hidden deep underground, it lies in wait, biding its time as it learns the rules of its surroundings. Roaming beasts and unknown threats surely threaten the little rock as it sticks to the darkness, its one true refuge. This is a slow-burning Dungeon-Core fiction with a LitRPG-System. You can expect an extreme amount of kingdom-building, an more in-depth Mana-System, and a Evolution-System. Chapters are between the length of 2-4k words, though the first 50 will likely be closer to 4k. Anything after will have the average be 2.5k. I personally like explaining how things work a lot, so do have that in mind if you decide to read this fiction. Cover is credited to [Asviloka] who can be found on this thread:https://www.royalroad.com/forums/thread/110578 [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Dark Seas Leading Demise
Having awakened within a forest with little to no memories of her past and being left with the sole task of surviving…what will Kaltyr do?-----------------------------------If when you're reading this there are only 49 chapters, then for all intents and purposes it's completed. The first 49 chapters are just a prologue, giving a long (135,000+ words) introduction to the main character, the power system, and how she obtained her powers--all within the forest she awoke within. You will not learn why the novel has its name.There are only 5 characters, 1 of which is the MC and only another of which is recurring for a time.I do have plans for future books of the series, but they aren't getting written for a long time because this was just a side project to practice the basics of storytelling and whatnot. I will instead be working on my real projects.This is a slow story that doesn't pander to the audience, but I hope you enjoy it, nonetheless.
