《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 12
Advertisement
Napagpasyahan ni Narda na mag-ibang bansa para magbagong buhay. Naiisip nya na isang way yun para makamove on kay Regina.
Since nagstay muna sya sa apartment ni Ding after nya kumanta nung naging official na ang relasyon ni Brian at ni Regina, sinabi nya na ito kay Ding.
Mukhang tatanggi pa si Ding pero hinayaan nya nalang ang ate nya dahil nasasaktan ito, at kapag nagstay pa dito ay baka masaktan pa lalo.
May one week pa sya para magpaalam sa mga kaibigan nya at sa mga relatives nya. Gusto nyang pumunta sa America para magtrabaho at manirahan dun temporarily.
Nagbook na sya ng flight at naisipang pumunta sa bahay ng lola nya. Sumama naman si Ding sa kanya, since gusto rin ng kapatid nya na dalawin ito.
"Lola!!" Sigaw nilang dalawa at niyakap ang lola nila.
"Mga apo ko! Buti naman at naisipan nyong dumalaw dito." Masayang sabi ng lola nila.
"Eh lola, pupunta po kasi ako sa ibang bansa. Dun muna ako maninirahan ng ilang taon." Sabi ni Narda.
"Mag-iingat ka doon ha? Lalo pa't medyo delikado ngayon dun."
"Opo lola." Nakangiting sagot nito at niyakap ulit ang lola nya.
"Ikaw naman batang makulit, anong pumasok sa isip mo at dumalaw ka rito?" Tanong ng lola nila kay Ding.
"Pagod na po kasi ako maging pogi sa apartment, gusto ko po makakita ng maganda."
"Nako! Eh ayan naman ang ate mo ah?" Napailing na sabi ng lola nila.
"Dyan nga po ako nagmana ng kapogian, kaya gusto namin maganda naman ang makita namin. Diba ate?"
"Oo naman, si Lola yung pinakamaganda ngayon dito sa bahay." Pagsang-ayon ni Narda.
"Alam nyo, nagugutom lang yata kayo eh. Tara na at kumain." Natatawang sabi ng lola nila.
Buong maghapon silang masayang nagkwentuhan at napagpasyahan ng dalawa na magpalipas ng gabi don.
Habang nakahiga si Narda ay nagring ang phone nya.
"Hello, Regina?"
"Narda, where are you?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Regina.
"Here."
"Where?"
"Bahay ni lola." Wala sa mood na sagot ni Narda.
"You're not going home?"
"Yeah, you can let brian sleep there, mawawala ako for 5 days." Sabi ni Narda kay Regina.

"Ang tagal naman yata?"
"Hindi pa matagal yan, Regina." Sabi nya at pilit na pinipigilan ang sarili na sabihin ang about sa pag-alis nya ng bansa.
"5 days ay matagal na, Narda. So sa saturday ka uuwi?"
"Yeah." Sagot ni Narda.
"Okay then, take care. Goodnight."
"Goodnight." Sabay patay na ni Narda sa call nilang dalawa.
"Should I confess my feelings for her before I leave this country?" Tanong nya sa kanyang sarili.
"Alright, may karapatan syang malaman." Bumuntong hininga nalang sya at natulog na.
Paggising nya ay nakaamoy agad sya ng mabango. Paglabas nya ay nakita nya ang kanyang lola na nakangiti habang naglalagay ng plato sa lamesa.
"Goodmorning, la." Masayang bati nya rito.
"Goodmorning, apo. Gisingin mo na ang kapatid mo, sabihin mo ay kakain na."
Tumango naman sya at ginising na si Ding.
"Ding, gising na, kakain na." Sabi nya habang tinatapik ang braso nito.
"5 minutes."
"Anong 5 minutes, uubusan kita ng ulam."
Bigla namang napaupo si Ding at kinusot ang kanyang mga mata. "Tara kain na."
Tumawa na lang si Narda at pumunta na sa lamesa para kumain.
"Yehey! Namiss ko ito, parang naaalala ko ang pagkabata ko dito." Masayang sabi ni Narda.
"Parang kanina lang eh bata pa kayo at palaro laro lang sa labas, ngayon baka ang mga anak nyo na ang maglaro sa labas." Sabi ng lola nila at agad na nabulunan ang dalawa.
"Oh eto tubig, ayaw kasing magdahan dahan sa pagkain eh." Sermon ng lola nila sa kanila.
"La, ang aga pa yata masyado para mag-anak si Ding."
"Hala bat ako? Ikaw rin naman ah, malay mo sa America makahanap ka ng true love." Pang-aasar ni Ding sa kanya.
"Tumigil ka nga, di ako papatol sa mga amerikano noh!"
"Oh tama na yan, kumakain kayo." Pagsaway naman ng lola nila sa kanila.
"Sorry la." Sabay nilang sabi.
Pagkatapos nilang kumain ay naligo na sila at nagpaalam na para umalis.
"Alis na kami la, mamimiss ka namin." Malungkot na sabi ni Narda at niyakap ang lola nila.
"Mag-iingat ka sa America apo." Sabi ng lola nila sa kanya. "At ikaw, Ding. Mag-iingat ka rin ah? Wag nyong pabababayaan ang mga sarili ninyo."

"Opo la." Sabay nilang sabi at nagpaalam na sa lola nila.
"Namiss ko si Lola." Sabi ni Narda nang makarating na sila sa bus.
"Ako rin, parang naging bata ulit yung pakiramdam ko."
"Same. Ang saya lang kagabi." Bumuntong hininga naman sya.
"Ate, mag-iingat ka sa America. Lagi mo akong tawagan okay?" Sabi ni Ding.
"Oo, Ding." Sagot naman ni Narda at hinalikan ang ulo ng kanyang kapatid.
Nakauwi na si Ding, habang si Narda naman ay papunta na kila Leslie.
"Narda?" Gulat na sabi ni Leslie.
"Leslie."
Nagyakapan silang dalawa at pinapasok ni Leslie si Narda sa kanyang apartment.
"Kamusta ka?" Tanong ni Narda rito.
"Okay lang, ikaw ba? Okay ka lang?"
"Oo, may sasabihin pala ako." Seryosong sabi ni Narda.
"Ano yun?"
"Pupunta ako sa ibang bansa, maninirahan ako don temporarily." Sabi ni Narda.
"Hala! Mamimiss kita bakla." Sabi ni Leslie at niyakap ito ng mahigpit. "Mag-iingat ka don ah?"
"Oo naman, since aalis na ako sa sunday. Pwede bang dito muna matulog?"
"Sure! No problem." Masayang sabi ni Leslie.
Napagpasyahan nilang umorder ng mga pagkain at magvideoke.
Nagvideo naman si Narda kasama si Leslie ay inistory nya ito sa instagram.
"Ang cute natin dito bakla." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda at ipinakita kay Leslie.
"Ang pogi mo naman tol!"
"Ako lang to! Kung hindi ako pumunta dito baka wala kang makitang pogi." Nakasmirk na sabi ni Narda.
"Wait, parang lumakas ang aircon."
"Loko loko!" Natatawang sabi ni Narda at hinampas ng mahina si Leslie. "Men samahan mo akong bumili ng beer sa pito labing-isa."
"Walang magbabantay dito."
"Sige, ako nalang. Peram ako bike mo men."
"Sige lang." Sabi naman ni Leslie.
Nagsimula nang magbike si Narda papunta seven eleven. Pagpasok nya ay agad syang kumuha ng pitong beer. Balak nya kasing painumin din si Leslie, dahil minsan lang naman ito.
Habang sya ay nakapila, nakita nya na parang familliar ang amoy ng nasa harapan nya. Bigla naman syang kinabahan dahil kilala na nya kung sino ito.
Naghanap sya ng mask sa mga bulsa nya pero wala syang nakita.
"Nako, patay, bakit dito pa." Bulong nya.
Pagalis ng babaeng nasa harap nya ay tumingin ulit ito sa cashier, agad na tumalikod si Narda sa kanya at nang tawagin sya ng cashier ay wala na syang takas.
"A-ah, eto po." Kinakabahang sabi ni Narda at kinuha ang sukli, pati narin ang mga beer na binili nya.
Nagmamadali syang umalis nang may tumawag sa kanya.
"Eto na nga ba ang sinasabi ko." Bulong nya at bumuntong hininga.
"R-regina."
"Ang dami mo naman yata ng binili mong beer?" Nakataas na kilay na sabi ni Regina.
"A-ah kase iinom k-kami ni Leslie."
Tumango naman si Regina at ngumiti, pero hindi abot sa kanyang mga mata.
"Okay, enjoy." Sabi ni Regina at pumasok na sa kotse nya.
Nakahinga naman sya ng maluwag at inilagay na sa basket ang beer na binili nya.
"Buti nalang." Sabi nya at pumunta na sa apartment ni Leslie.
"Bakla, ang tagal mo yata?"
"Nakita ako ni Regina na bumibili ng beer."
Natawa naman si Leslie. "Bakla ka, sesermonan ka nanaman nun pag-uwi mo. Ayaw nyang nag-iinom ka diba?"
"Oo, eh kaso nakita nya ako na umiinom. At nasabi ko pa na kasama ka sa iinom."
"Well, iinon naman din ako eh." Nakangiting sabi ni Leslie.
"Ayos! Yes!"
"Minsan lang to noh! Hindi na ulit to mauulit agad dahil pupunta kana ng ibang bansa."
"True, kaya sulitin na natin." Masayang sabi ni Narda.
Buong gabi ay nagsaya lamang sila. Nagpatugtog sila ng masasayang kanta at sila ay sumayaw, tumalon at kumanta.
Hanggang sa naubos na ang beer nila at pulutan. Doon na natigil ang pagpaparty party nila.
"Salamat, Leslie ah?" Sabi ni Narda.
"Salamat rin. Mamimiss kita, Narda."
"Mamimiss din kita, Leslie."
Ilang sandali din silang nagiyakan at nagyakapan, hanggang sa nagdecide na silang matulog.
"Kailangan na nating matulog, Leslie." Sabi ni Narda.
"Goodnight." Sabi ni Leslie.
"Goodnight."
Nagyakapan ulit sila ng sandali at pumunta na sa kani-kanilang mga higaan at natulog.

Lineage Saga (Kingdom Building Fantasy)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The continent of Erdenia is in flux, nations large and small move to swallow their neighbors. Roving bands of marauders pillage the countryside, and the seas are choked with piracy. Against this backdrop upon the central island of Syroneika exists the Mercan League, an alliance of city states ruled by the Archon from his seat in the Capital, Merlabria. Yet all is not well beneath the surface. The Archon’s health is waning, while the House of Mercan appears on the verge of conflict. Both princes vie for the Archonship, with the aristocracy close behind looking to settle old scores. In the immediate west the Althai Federation is in a state of civil war, the conflict spilling over the border into the League, while nobles’ squabble over petty slights. In this time of growing conflict, the Archon has summoned the warlord of the southern frontier, bulwark against the horrors of the dark forest, and former Grand Scholar of the court. Behind the scenes pieces are in play, and the Scholar possesses numerous enemies, many still envious of his meteoric rise to power. A simple trip to the capital may be more than it appears. However, the branches of fate are fickle things, a single encounter could change the course of history. Or perhaps that is simply the will of fate, and nothing has changed at all, who could know? Could the meeting between a simple slave and a warlord truly be fate’s bough? And if so, where could that lead?

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
