《Questionable Love》6
Advertisement
Medyo naiilang ako sa byahe namin dahil sa nakakabinging katahimikan.Walang may balak mag-open ng topic,busina lang nga sasakyang nasa labas ang tangi kong naririnig.
Naglalaro din ang isipan ko sa sinabi niya kani-kanina lang.Is that how he flirt?Is he planting something?Or he just really wants to compliment me?
I already received lot of compliments from other people, it's not new to me.But I don't know the reason why my heart is beating so fast,as if like it wants to get out of the cage.
"Is there something wrong?"Tanong niya bigla sa 'kin na labis kong ikina-gulat.Awtomatiko din akong napalingon sa gawi niya dahil sa tanong niya.
"Uh,y-yeah."Utal kong sagot.
"Is there something bothering you?Kanina ka pa kase tahimik"tanong niya ulit habang naka-tingin sa akin,sakto kaseng red light pa.
Tumango ako sa kanya at binigyan siya ng assuring smile."Don't worry, I'm fine"
Pinatakbo na niya ulit ang sasakyan at parang siya pa ang may ini-isip.He keep tapping the steering wheel and keep glancing at me.
Tumaas ang dalawa kong kilay at ngumisi sa kaniya"What's wrong?"
Bumuntong hininga siya at bahagyang ibinalik ang tingin sa daan bago sumagot"Kanina pa kase umaandar tong sasakyan,Wala akong maisip na lugar na gusto mong puntahan."
Natawa naman ako sa sinabi niya,Oo nga pala kanina pa kaming nasa loob ng sasakyan at parang wala kaming balak na ihinto ito.
"I already I ask you earlier where do you want to go,but you're spacing out"Dugtong niya pa.
Kaya niya siguro ako tinanong kung nay iniisip ba daw ako.
"Oh, I'm sorry for that.Tsaka ikaw na bahala kung saan mo gusto.Pambawi ko naman to eh"
"I already booked a lunch for us but mamaya pang 11:00 'yon.So ikaw na bahalang pumili kung saan mo muna gusto pumunta"
"No,Ikaw na"Wala din kase akong ka ide-ideya kung saan niya gusto pumunta or ano ang nga hilig niya.
We haven't talk thing like that,kumustahan lang tsaka about school ang mga nagiging topic namin.But look at us now it looks like we're going on a date!Dahil sa sout namin!

"Ako ang pumili kung saan tayo kakain diba?So ikaw na ang pumili kung saan mo gustong patayin ang oras"Kitang kita ko pa kung pa'no siya ngumisi na parang panalo na naman siya.
"What's your hobbies?"
"I don't care if we are going to do or go somewhere that I don't want,All matters to me right now is where do you want to go"Seryosong sabi niya habang tinitignan ako sa mata.
Those words gave my heart the reason to keep pounding again!I don't like what I'm feeling,I hate this.Maybe takot akong mahulog sa bitag niya kung meron man.
"L-lets go to mall, instead"Wala na akong maisip na ibang lugar,alangan naman kung mag amusement park or mag-arcade, we'll just look weird because of our outfits.Sakto din naman kaseng may bibilhin ako.
"Copy"Pangisi-ngisi pa siya ng sinabi niya 'yon.
Naiilang na talaga ako ng sobra dahil sa mga salitang binibitawan niya.Isa na talaga siyang biterano sa mga gan'to.This would be the last day na magkikita kami at nag-uusap.I want to protect my heart ayaw kong masaktan sa isang katulad niya.
Alam kong wala siyang sinabi na gusto niya ako but base on his words it's already giving me those idea.He exactly knew how to give me butterflies and how to make my heart to skip a beat for a moment.I already knew his history of how he treat girls madali siyang magsawa at ayaw kong gamitin niya ako para makalimutan ang babaeng nang-iwan sa kan'ya.
Nabalik lang ako sa realidad ng huminto na ang sasakyan"We're here"masiglang sabi niya.
Agad naman akong bumaba at hinintay siya.
"So what are you planning to buy?"Tanong niya habang nakapamulsa ang isang kamay.
"Ikaw?baka may gusto kang bilhin"
Natawa siya sa sinabi ko bago nag-salita"It was your idea na dito tayo pumunta"
Nauna na lang akong maglakad at agad naman siyang sumunod.Naririnig ako pa ang bulungan ng ibang tao habang naka-tingin sa 'min.
"They look cute"
"Aw,matchy matchy"
"Ang pogi ng lalaki"
"Swerte ni girl"
I didn't mind those words,diretso lang ang lakad ko hanggang maka-rating sa book store.
Nang makita ko na ang librong hinahanap ko agad ko na 'yong dinampot at binayaran.Pagka-lingon ko kay Bong nakita ko siyang nay binabasang libro.

Ng tapos na akong mag-bayad umupo na lang muna ako sa may bakanteng upuan dahil abala pa din siya sa libro.
Malipas ang ilang segundo inilibot niya ang tingin niya sa loob hanggang sa mag-tama na ang mga mata namin.
Agad na din siyang lumapit dahilan para tumayo na din ako"Kanina ka pa ba nag-hihintay?Sana tinawag mo na ako"
"You look busy and interested with that book so that's why ayaw kitang istorbuhin"Pagpapaliwanag ko.
"'Di ka naman istorbo"Mahinang sambit niya pero dinig ko pa din.
"Why don't you buy that book, I'll pay for it"Suggestion ko sa kan'ya,he really looks like he's interested with it earlier.
"No need, where else do you want to go"?Tanong niya sa akin habang pinipilit na agawin ang bitbit kong paper bag.
"Wag na,ang gaan gaan lang nito.Tsaka you're not my guard or I'm not your responsibility"
I didn't wait for his reaction at tuloy pa din ang lakad.Para akong na kuryente ng bigla na lang niya akong hawakan sa kanang kamay ko.
Agad akong umiwas at tinignan siya"What?May gusto kang puntahan?
Tumango lang siya at hinawakan ako sa palapulsuhan at nagsimulang mag-lakad.Pilit kong binabawi 'yon pero nagmamatigas siya.
Taka ko siyang tinignan ng huminto kami sa harap ng isang pambabaeng clothing shop.
"Mamili ka ng komportableng masusuot"Sabi niya sa akin na labis kong ipinag-taka.
"H-huh?Why?"Okay naman ang damit ko ah,hindi naman to isang revealing dress or what.
"Pagkatapos nating kumain may pupuntahan tayo"
Kahit nagtataka pa din ako namili ng lang ako ng jeans at simpleng polo shirt.Agad din niya 'yong kinuha at binayaran.
"What's wrong with you?That was mine,ako dapat ang mag-bayad niyan!"Inis kong sabi sa kan'ya habang tinuturo ang bitbit niya pero tinawanan niya lang ako.
"It was my idea to buy those,so dapat lang na ako"Natatawang sabi niya habang ina-ayos ang sarili niyang buhok.
"Kahit na,ako kaya ang gagamit"
"Wala ka ng ibang bibilhin?"Pag-iiba niya sa usapan.
Inirapan ko siya at umiling-iling.Kaya naglakad na agad kami pabalik sa kotse.
"Let's have lunch na"May nalalaman pa siyang pag-tango-tango,co'z he was vibing with the song inside the mall.
Nang maka-rating na kami sa kotse pinag-buksan niya pa ako ng pinto at binigyan ako ng matamis na ngiti.Agad naman akong umupo roon at umikot na man siya papuntang drivers seat.
Tahimik lang ulit ang naging biyahe namin papunta sa lugar kung saan siya nakapag-booked.
Mga ilang minuto lang ang naging biyahe namin at ini-hinto na niya ang kotse sa parking lot ng mamahaling restaurant.
Ang mahal dito!Buti na lang at nakapag-withdraw ako kanina!
Agad kaming inasikaso ng waiter ng makita si Bong,madalas na siguro siya dito dahil close din sila ng waiter.
Nang ma-upo kami 'di na ako nakapag-pigil na mag-tanong"Madalas ka dito?"
"Hindi,minsan lang"Sagot niya habang itinulak ang buhok niya patalikod.
Minsan pero close na sila ng waiter?
Maya maya pa ay dumating na ang ini-order niya.Amoy pa lang ang sarap na ang ganda pa ng pagka-lagay.
It was a steak,some London delicacies and shake.
"Hope you'll like it, nag-order na kase ako kagabi,medyo matagal kase ang proseso ng pagluluto dito."Pagpalaliwanag niya sa akin.
"It looks delicious"Sabi ko bago sinimulang kumain.
No words can explain how I loved the food,it was more than delicious!
"Glad you like it"Biglang wika niya dahilan para tignan ko siya do'n ko din napansin na 'di pa nagagalaw ang pagkaing nasa plato niya.Nasabi niya siguro 'yon base on my expression.
"Sino naman ang hindi to magugustuhan"Natatawang sabi ko habang kumukuha ng bagong pagkain.
Natawa lang siya at nag-simula ng kumain nag-kwentuhan lang kami tungkol sa inuman nila kagabi at napapalitan din ng tanong.
Nang matapos na akong kumain tinawag ko na ka agad ang waiter para hingin ang bill.
"Can I have the bill?"Tanong ko dito.
"It's already paid ma'am,binayaran na po ni Sir Bong"Sabi niya sa akin kaya pina-alis ko na siya agad .
"What the, ang usapan babawi ako.Ba't mo binayaran?"Gigil na tanong ko sa kan'ya.
He gave me a sweet smile again before answering"It already looks like a date, it's weird if ikaw ang magbabayad sa una nating date"Sagot niya habang kinindatan ako at pinunasan ang bibig.

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

8 192Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
8 90The Cycler Gangs of Beta Fornax
A thousand years after humanity colonized the stars, society is split between the Academics and the Hipsters. When Juno saves Fern from a rival bicycle gang, they are thrust into the middle of the struggle between their two rigid societies—one which believes in culture and tradition above all else, and the other which strictly adheres to the pursuit of scientific knowledge. With Juno raised as a hipster bicycle gang member, and Fern as a scientist, the two become friends and learn to work together to seek a path that neither society condones. When Fern detects a mysterious signal from deep in space, Juno joins her on her quest to uncover its origin before the angry biker gangs and vengeful scientists catch up to them. They discover a third society that neither of the others had known about which might just solve all their problems.
