"Dela Cruz, Oscar J."
When my name was called, dali-dali akong naglakad papuntang stage. I received a plaque and some medals for my achievements.
Nakangiti akong tumingin kay Mariz na nagpipicture sa akin ngayon. She was all smiles as I saw her camera flash.
Matapos ang awarding at program namin for graduation ay mabilis ko siyang pinuntahan at niyakap ng mahigpit. Ginilid niya na muna ang camera niya at niyakap din ako pabalik.
"Congratulations, baby. You did it." She said proudly. I don't have my parents with me anymore at siya na lang ang meron sa akin. And I'm genuinely happy for everything because of her. Hindi ko kailanman naramdamang mag-isa ako kaya nagpursigi rin akong mag-aral para sa future namin.
"Hindi ko magagawa kung wala ka sa tabi ko, Mariz. Thank you for everything." Napaiyak na ako ng tuluyan sa balikat niya. Hinaplos niya naman ang ulo ko at nang maghiwalay ang katawan naming pareho ay tumulo na rin ang mga luha niya.
I held both of her hands. I held her hand like it is the only thing that will keep me going. That it is the only hope that I have.
"I fulfil the thing that you did not experience before, and that is to graduate. But I cannot do this all without you. You deserve all of this achievements, baby." Sabay tingin ko sa mga medals ko sa isang upuan kung saan niya rin nilapag ang camera niya. Kaunti na lang ang tao sa paligid naming dahil tapos naman na iyong ceremony.
She cried even more so I decided to kiss her forehead. Nagtagal iyon ng ilang segundo hanggang sa itapat ko ang tingin ko sa kanya.
"Ikaw ang tunay na ligaya, tanging ikaw sinta." Then I caressed her cheeks lightly.
"You're the true hope, love, and family that I have. I want to be with you until the last day of our lives. I love you so, so much Mariz Vega." Then I kneeled in front of her Nakita ko ang paglaki ng mga mapupungay niyang mga mata. I am still holding her hands at tinanggal ko muna ang hawak ko sa isa niyang kamay para kunin sa bulsa ko ang isang bagay na gusto kong isuot niya habang buhay.

"Mariz, baby. Will you marry me?" I asked her nervously. We stayed like that for a minute when she suddenly levelled herself with me and took the ring with her. She placed it in her finger and showed it to me.
"Yes, baby. I love you too, so much." She replied. I cried once again as we both embrace and enjoyed that very moment.
I don't want to lose her. I want to spend my life with the woman who made me feel loved and a woman who has a big heart to value someone like me. I love her because I just love her.
Siya ang tunay na ligaya ko.
---
spend your life
with someone
who'll value you
when no one else
does.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

My guild was transported to another world, but I'm just the Illusionist Enchanter
Skyforge, the virtual reality game of the 22nd century. The NPCs were mostly boring cookie cutter characters, but at least the political and military aspects were amazing. A great guild could build their base any way they wished, take over territories by converting the landstones and lead great armies in massive wars - or wager everything in the great arena. Well, but I'm just an enchanter with a secondary illusion skill tree. In other words, I'm totally dependent on my guild. But since thanks to this guild I could play the way I wish I don't mind. After we were all sent to another world I kind of regretted not being able to play god with the others.

A longstanding peace has descended to Orbis. Yet, to spite the efforts of the saviours of yore, a progenitor of this calamity has been invited back by ritual. It seeks the return of these very ancient events. A silent peril is on the way.
