Iminulat ni Regina ang kanyang mga mata at naramdaman nya ang makinis na balat ni Narda. Paggalaw nya nito ay may naramdaman syang mga nakaumbok, kaya naman napatingin sya rito.
"Omygosh." Mahinang sabi nya nang makita ang abs ni Narda.
Nakabra lang kase ito at nakakumot naman ang tyan dahil baka pasukan ito ng lamig.
Kinuha ni Regina ang cellphone nya at dali daling pinicturan ang abs nito. Dinamihan nya rin ang picture at pagkatapos nya ay agad naman nagsalita si Narda.
"Done?" Nakasmirk na sabi nito at nagulat naman si Regina.
"I-i'm just looking for signal."
"No need to lie, nakita ko na bago pa mag unang pindot hanggang sa naging anim."
Ngumiti naman si Regina habang ang kanyang pisngi ay namumula. "You have abs pala, you didn't tell me."
"At ano naman ang mangyayari kapag sinabi ko?"
"I won't be hungry."
Kumunot naman ang noo ni Narda. "Ano?"
"I won't be hungry kase you have pandesal." Sabi naman ni Regina habang naka-awkward smile.
"Ahh." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda. Hindi pala magugutom ha.
"U-uh, so, are they awake?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Hindi ko alam, kakagising ko lang." Sagot naman ni Narda at bumangon na. "Tignan kolang sila."
Pagtingin ni Narda ay gising na si Florence, kaya naman binuhat nya ito at hinalik-halikan ang tyan nito.
Tumawa naman si Florence at dinala na ito kay Regina, kaso, nang makuha na ni Regina si Florence ay narinig ni Narda na tinawag sya ni Maxine.
"Dada." Tawag nito Maxine dito na para bang paiyak na.
Ngumiti naman si Narda nang makita niya si Maxine, at ngumiti rin naman si Maxine habang ineextend na ang kamay nya para magpabuhat kay Narda.
"Talaga naman." Umiiling na sabi ni Narda nang ipatong agad ni Maxine ang ulo nya sa dibdib ni Narda. "Miss na agad ako ng baby."
"Dada." Tanging nasabi ni Maxine.
"Yes po, dada." Malambing na sabi ni Narda.
Pagbalik nila sa kama ay naglalaro na sina Regina at Florence.

"Mimi!" Masayang tawag ni Maxine kay Regina.
"Baby!" Pagbabati ni Regina dito.
"Bibi!" Masayang paggaya ni Florence kay Regina.
Pumalakpak naman si Maxine habang tumatawa. "Bibi!"
Napangiti nalang ang dalawa at naisipan ni Narda na ipost ang video ng kambal.
"Regina, pinost ko video nila." Sabi naman ni Narda habang nakangiti.
"Okay, go lang."
After one minute ay marami agad ang naglike sa post ni Narda.
"Huy grabe! One minute just passed and you already have 1k likes. Iba talaga ikaw, Bae." Nakangiting sabi ni Regina.
Namula naman ang pisngi ni Narda dahil sa tinawag ni Regina sa kanya. "May lakad pala ako mamaya, Regina."
"Okay, what time?"
"Mga 4, kaya baka late ako makauwi." Sabi ni Narda. "Baka umiyak si Maxine."
"Don't worry, she won't cry."
"Pano pag oo?" Tanong ni Narda.
Tumaas naman ang isang kilay ni Regina. "What if no?"
"Basta, bahala na mamaya kung ano man ang mangyari. Aagahan ko nalang para makapagpaalam pako kay Maxine at Florence."
"Okay. It's up to you, you're the one who will pasok naman eh." Sabi naman ni Regina.
"Pachok?" Tanong ni Florence.
Ngumiti naman ang dalawa.
"Yes po, dada will pachok." Sabi naman ni Narda at hinalikan ang noo ni Florence at Maxine.
"What about the mommy?" Nakapout na tanong ni Regina.
Hinalikan ni Narda ang noo ni Regina at ang tip ng ilong nito. Napangiti naman si Regina at niyakap ito.
"Ehh!!" Pilit na tulak ni Florence nang maipit sya sa gitna nila Regina at Narda.
Napatawa nalang si Narda. "Sorry baby."
"Bibi." Panggagaya naman ni Maxine habang nakahiga at kinakalikot ang mga daliri nito.
"Mga bisaya pala yang anak mo." Tumatawang sabi ni Narda.
Regina chuckled. "True, but they are so cute. I want them to learn tagalog more, ayaw ko silang itulad sa akin. Super conyo."
"That's good, maganda kapag marunong silang magtagalog and english din."
"I want them to speak in tagalog hindi yung katulad sakin. When I speak kase it's more on English diba? But I am trying to speak in tagalog naman." Sabi ni Regina.

"Kausapin natin sila in tagalog." Narda said while smiling.
"But I only know few."
"Okay lang, andito naman ako para turuan ka."
Regina smiled at Narda. "Thank you, Narda. For everything."
"No problem, don't worry."
Alas tres ng hapon nang mapagpasyahan nilang umalis na. Pinatawag nalang ni Narda ang driver nya para ihatid sya.
"Byebye, Max. Byebye Florence." Malambing na pagpapaalam nya at hinalikan sa noo ang dalawang bata.
Niyakap naman nya si Regina. "Bye, Regina. Please take care ha? Tawagan mo lang ako kapag may kailangan kayo or may nangyari sa inyo."
Tumango naman si Regina at ngumiti kay Narda. "I will."
Nagwave nalang si Narda at tuluyan nang lumabas ng condo. Paglabas nya ay andun na ang van na sasakyan nya.
Kumatok sya sa pintuan at narinig nyang may sumigaw ng, "Wait lang!!"
Napatawa naman sya at naisipang magvideo dahil miss na miss na nya talaga ang taong ito.
Pagbukas ng pinto ay vinideohan ni Narda ang nasa pinto na gulat na gulat.
"Hi Leslie, ako to, ang Gusion mo." Pagkasabi na pagkasabi ni Narda at niyakap agad sya ni Leslie.
"Narda!! I miss you so much, hindi ka manlang nagsabi na dadating ka." Irit na Leslie.
Tumawa naman si Narda. "Nasurprise ka ba?"
"Oo naman." Naluluhang sabi ni Leslie.
"Hala huy! Bakit ka umiiyak? Bakla ka." Tanong ni Narda nang makita nya ang luha sa mga mata ni Leslie.
"Namiss kita eh, alam mo bang last na kita natin eh nung nag-inom tayo ng beer."
"Yes, and that was 3 years ago." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda habang pinupunasan ang luha ni Leslie.
"Halika nga muna sa loob at magsakalan tayo. Nanggigigil ako sayo, di ka nagsabi ang gulo tuloy ng bahay." Inis na sabi ni Leslie.
"Hindi naman mahalaga kung magulo ang bahay mo, ang mas mahalaga, nagkita tayo ulit bakla."
Ngumiti naman si Leslie. "Bakla ka! Ano kamusta ka ha?"
"Eto, 3 days date with Regina tapos pagkatapos ng 3 days kapag may nararamdaman na sya sakin, hahayaan nya na akong manligaw." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda.
"Ha? Akala ko nakamove on kana bakla ka."
"Wala eh, bumalik yung feelings ko sa kanya nung bumalik ako sa condo."
Tumango naman si Leslie. "Basta, if ever na hindi magwork yung 3 days date nyo, andito lang ang mga balikat ko para iyakan mo."
"Salamat, Leslie. Anyways, ano may jowabels kana ba accling?"
Bigla namang kinilig si Leslie. "Wala pa teh, pero may crush ako. Jusmeyo ang pogi na ang ganda punyeta kinikilig ako."
"Hoy baliw, ano ba, sino bayan. Tingin nga." Curious na sabi ni Narda.
Nang ipakita ni Leslie kay Narda ay nagthumbs up naman si Narda.
"Ayos, she's beautiful and handsome like me."
"Narda, wait lang naman, nakaaircon na tayo ang hangin bigla oh." Sabi ni Leslie na ikinatawa ng dalawa.
Paguwi ni Narda ay may dala dala syang diaper, gatas, donut, takoyaki at milktea.
Pagdating nya sa pinto ay naririnig nya ang ingay ng mag-iina. Nagdoorbell sya at agad naman syang pinagbuksan ni Regina.
"Hi!" Masayang bati nya at ngumiti rin si Regina.
"Narda, let me help you with that."
Nakita nya naman ang tumatakbong si Maxine habang umiirit. "Dada!"
Niyakap nito ang tuhod ni Narda kaya naman agad na binuhat ni Narda si Maxine.
Nang makita sya ni Florence ay tumakbo rin ito sa kanya, kinuha nito ang diaper na hawak ni Narda sa isa nyang kamay kaya tumakbo itong natawa.
Hinabol naman sya ni Regina at ang bata ay tuwang tuwa. Nang mahuli sya ni Regina ay tinadtad nya ito ng halik na ikinatawa ni Florence ng malakas.
While Narda is watching them, she's smiling so wide.

A loose thread
The goddess picked him up. He tried to struggle free, but her grip only tightened. Eventually her thumb caught his head, pulling it backwards. He stared helplessly as she brought her free hand closer, revealing a small vial in her massive hand. She pressed it to his lips, and he felt the contents flow into him. He tried not to drink it, but his body would not listen. Despite his revulsion, his body ignored him by drinking deeply. "Drink and forget. I will give you everything you ever wanted. A loving family. A comfortable home. And then, " Her grip tightened, and forcing the air out his lungs. He coughed up the strange liquid and caused more to spill. “And then, you will pay for your defiance. On your twentieth birthday you will remember.” She pulled the vial away and turned him to look at her. “You will remember, just as everything you love is taken from you, right before your eyes…” Her voice trailed off and his world went dark. .... The above leads right into the story. The first chapter is a bit rough as the MC (a child at the time), hurts himself rather badly. I will try to include similar warnings on chapters as the story goes on, but I want to be up front that I may miss or forget things. Many of the tags are included so I can have flexibility writing the story. I am posting this largely to hold myself accountable to keep writing. Chapters will be short, but I am planning to post weekly. This is the first thing I have written (you've been warned). I am enjoying the story and I hope you will too. Please feel free to let me know what you think of the story as it progresses.
