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"

Orc Lord
A young woman just starting out in life is killed tragically in a car accident. However, she soon regains consciousness as a baby in a fantasy world. But... she's an Orc?! It would be good if she could just enjoy her new life quietly, but she seems destined for war and carnage. How will she fare as a monster in a fantasy world? ________________ This story will have a total of three arcs: Arc 1, The Birth of Babylon: 571 pages (complete) Arc 2, The Baphomet War: 420 pages (complete) Arc 3, The Mad Queen of Carnage: (in progress) ________________ Ultimately, I'm writing this for enjoyment. If you enjoy it too, fantastic! Gore: Extremely infrequent, but moderately intense. Profanity: There are a few swear words here and there, as well as some more creative insults. Traumatizing Content: While I'm at it, there are some questionable morals displayed (mostly after chapter 77). So far we can check off slavery, brainwashing, war, and genocide. This story starts off very Light Novel-ish because I was reading a lot of them at the time. The writing style gradually matures as it goes. Sorry, but I don't have the stamina to go back and fix everything, even if I know it gets pretty roughshod at times. New readers, please keep in mind, I make use of "unreliable narrators" at times. My story accepts donations, but it is free to read and I've only uploaded it here. Lastly, Orc Lord is a member of the WriTEr's Pledge, which means I have sworn to see it through to a satisfying ending. One of my long breaks triggered a dishonor, but I'll redeem it someday when it's actually finished. I'm the ultimate necromancer author. ;P

8 156Spirits of Eternity(A cultivation story based on spirits)
There are many after Liv, for what she can do. Spirits flock to her and help her, while the rest of the world captures them and uses their power with abandon. Liv set forth to find the truth behind her parents’ death, after their final message. After hearing their voice, Liv was offered a decision. Live safely, or be the best. Just like someone from the past, Liv decided to step towards strength. The magic system in this world is based on a few types of energy: Note(for Songs), Will(for Thought), Mana(for ordinary magic, because I felt like it), what is referred to as 'energy' here(for talking to spirits), and Dominion(for Aura). This is still a work in progress. Any suggestions are welcomed. This and my other work, Monsters as Men, are set in the same world. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

"Hey, why don't you dance with us Peter, c'mon do a little dance." "It's just a petrification spell Peter, don't be down..." "Yeah, dude."
