Hindi na namin namamalayan ang oras dahil sa dinami-dami ng mga basahin.Basa dito basa doon.
"Sara,ikaw na muna mag-bukas"Sigaw ni Sam habang abala sa ginagawa niya.
Agad naman akong tumayo para buksan ang pinto,pagka-bukas ko ay agad na bumungad sa akin ang mabangong pabango ni Bong at malawak niyang ngiti.
"May binabasa ka pa?"Tanong niya ng yakapin niya ako na agad ko namang ginantihan.
"K'unti na lang"Sagot ko naman habang bumitaw na sa yakap."Bakit?"
Bumuntong hininga muna siya bago sumagot"Let's go out,I miss you"
"Anong I miss you?eh kaka celebrate lang natin ng 3rd monthsary kahapon"Natatawang sagot ko naman.
Nataw naman siya ng tipid"Plsssss"pagpupumilit niya pa"Sa condo ko na lang or dito mag-babasa na lang tayo"
"Sa condo mo na lang maiirita lang 'yong dalawa"Natatawang sabi ko.
3rd monthsary na pala namin kahapon.Sa isang private resort lang kami ng celebrate,we spend their for 2 days and one night.
"Pasok ka muna"Sabi ko sa kan'ya at agad naman siyang sumunod.
"Hi Bong,gutom daw si Sara"Bungad ni Rye kay Bong kaya agad akong tinignan ni Bong gamit ang nagtatakang mata.
"'wag kang maniwala 'jan,kakakain ko lang"Depensa ko ka agad."Tsaka kay Martin ka manghingi"
Tumawa lang si Rye habang si Sam ay busy pa din parang walang pakialam kung may pumasok ba o wala.
Kinuha ko na agad ang mga kailangan ko,dali dali naman akong tinulungan ni Bong sa pagbitbit ng mga kailangan ko.
"Oh, sa'n kayo pupunta?"Nagtatakang tanong ni Rye.
"Sa unit niya"maikling sagot ko naman.
Binigyan niya lang ako ng makahulugang tingin ganoon din si Sam kaya iniripan ko lang ang dalawa.
Pina-una ko nang lumabas si Bong dahil naiihi pa ako.Pagka-labas ko ng CR ay agad akong kinurot ni Sam.
"Ano ba!?"Iritadong tanong ko.

"Ikaw ha,baka sa OB-Gyne ka na magpa-basa sa susunod na linggo ah"nanunuksong sabi ni Sam.
Agad ko siyang hinampas pero tumawa lang silang dalawa.
"An'dumi ng isip n'yo"Sabi ko ng talikuran ko sila.Narining ko pa ang mga tawa nila bago isirado ang pinto.
"Love,Mom wants to met you"Sabi ni Bong ng pumasok na kami ng elevator na agad kong kinagulat."Lalo na si Manang,are you free next week?"
Kahit kinakabahan tumango ako ng marahan"Siguro?"alanganing sagot ko.
Ewan ko ba at bigla akong kinabahan do'n,I already met lot of people,'di nga mga basta bastang mga tao eh.Naranasan ko na ding maipakilala sa mga magulang,itong kay Bong lang talaga ako kinabahan.Sa pagkaka-alam ko kase ay botong boto ang parents ni Bong kay Liza and guess what?ang yaman ng pamilya ni Liza lalo na sila Bong.
May pera naman kami,isang lawyer din ang tatay ko.Pero malayo pa din sa pamilya ng dalawa.
"Hey, don't worry.Kilala ka na ni Mom"Naka-ngiting sabi sa akin ni Bong bago ako halikan sa noo.
Pagpasok namin sa loob ay agad kong nasinghap ang panlalaking pabango ni Bong.
Wala namang masyadong nag-bago sa unit niya bukod sa mga litrato namin na halos lahat ng pader ay mapuno na.
"Wait lang,Love.Kunin ko lang ang libro ko"pagpapa-alam niya na agad ko namang tinanguan.
Mauupo na sana ako kaso nahagip ng mga mata ko ang isang medyo bukas na drawer sa gilid ng malaking TV.Binuksan ko 'yon no'ng una akala ko ay mga CD lang ang laman no'n pero no'ng isasara ko na sana ay napansin kong mga lukot na litrato.Litrato 'yon ni Bong at Liza kasama ang pamilya ng dalawa.Kitang kita sa mga mata nila kung gaano sila ka saya.
Agad kong iyong binalik sa drawer at dali daling sinarado ng marinig ko ang pag-sarado ni Bong sa pinto ng kwarto niya.

Nauna akong maupo sa may sofa at agad niya naman akong dinaluhan.At umaktong parang walang pinake-alaman.
"Love"tawag niya sa akin.
"Hmnnn?"
"Kahapon ko sana to ibibigay kaso ...naiwan ko dito"awkward na sabi niya habang pinapakita sa akin ang isang mamahaling bracelet.
Hindi pa man ako nakaka-sagot ay agad na niya iyong kinabit sa kanan kong kamay."Mahal na mahal kita"sabi niya bigla sa akin habang ini-lock ang bracelet.
"Mahal"'yon lang lumabas sa bibig ko at niyakap niya na ako bigla.
Halo-halo ang naging reaksyon ko habang magka-yakap kami.Marami ding tanong ang naglalaro sa isipan ko.Bumalik na naman ang mga tanong ko no'ng panahong nililigawan pa lang ako ni Bong.Na pa'no kung ginagamit niya nga lang ako?
Napabalik lang ako sa realidad ng punasan ni Bong ang mata ko gamit ang hinlalaki niya.
"Shhhhh,'wag ka na umiyak."Pag-aalalo niya sa akin bago ako pinasandal sa matigas niyang dibdib."My baby is still a cry baby"natatawang sabi niya.
"Thank you"wika ko habang pilit ina-alis sa isipan ko ang mga bagay na naging dahilan para pumatak ang luha ko.
"Shhhh,you don't need to thank me.I should be the one to thank you."Malambing na sabi niya sa akin dahilan para tignan ko siya gamit ang nagtatakang mata"Tinaggap mo ako kahit ang pangit ng nakaraan ko,kahit halos linggo ay napapalit ako ng babae.But you still gave me a chance.I promise I won't waste it"

Divinity
“Let an old warrior caution you, there are parts of every tale that are not told. The part where none of those mighty champions died peacefully in their beds. The part where the hero meets their end surrounded by the enemy and in horrible agony. They were alone in their final moments and unsure if their sacrifice would bear fruit. I do not want that for you.” The Heavens created the Realm of Man and saved it from the eternal silence of the Void - once. Centuries later, humanity’s unity has fractured beneath the weight of time and the whims of man. Raegn Edelgard fights on in his home of Bastion, one of two everlasting fortifications to protect the Realm from the remnants of the darkness that still persist. Raegn hoped to be written into legend alongside the stories that inspired him since childhood, yet the scouting skirmishes and small battles that have been fought since the time of his forefathers offer little chance at glory. When the Void wakes once more the Realm questions if the first war was ever really won…and if they might be saved again. Raegn is left searching for purpose and must navigate through a world teetering on the brink of extinction. Dire times create the greatest heroes, but tales that stand the test of time are written twice - in blood before ink.Divinity is a fantasy series about Raegn Edelgard, a young man who must make his way through a world that is struggling to realize it is, for the second time in its history, teetering on the brink of extinction.

A Suspicious Lack of Horses
World: The framework of reality. The rules which govern interaction. The dimensions within which existence takes place. Soul: Mind. The source of thought, of consciousness. The means by which reality is observed. Body: Form. The means by which one interacts with the World. The substance from which reality is formed. Spirit: Life. The connection between Soul and Body. The anchor to the World. What happens when these foundational forces are given human form? When they're confronted with the truths of human nature, of human frailty? When the evils of reality are thrown in their face and the question is asked: What are you going to do about it? Why did anyone ever think they'd need horses? I upload ~30k word chunks at the beginning of every month, rotating through each character in order. I have at least four extra chunks on my Patreon. I suggest setting your reading preferences to indent and 30 pt paragraph spacing for the best reading experience.
