note: supriseee! i feel like we all need this so here you go hehe have fun readinggg! i love you all so muuuch!! :>
"Ouch, ouch!"
Nagising ako nang makarinig ng sumisigaw mula sa kitchen. Hindi 'yon gasinong malakas pero mabilis akong magising kahit sa konting tunog lang.
Dahan dahan akong tumayo at paglabas ko ay agad kong sinilip si Y/N sa sala.
Pero nang tingnan ko ay wala siya ron, naiwan lang doon ang nakatupi niyang kumot na nakapatas kasama ng unan niya.
Nasaan 'yon?
Nang marating ko ang kitchen namin, there I saw Y/N trying to cook.
Nakatalikod siya sa akin kaya hindi niya ako nakita agad.
Nakangiti akong sumandal sa may gilid ng pinto at pinagmasdan s'ya habang nagluluto. Ayoko siyang abalahin sa ginagawa niya dahil mukhang focus na focus siya ron.
"Ang sunod naman nating ilalagay ay ang itlog.."
Nagulat ako nang marinig 'yon galing doon. Sumilip ako nang bahagya at natawa sa nakita ko.
Y/N's cooking habang nakalagay sa phone stand and cellphone niya sa gilid at nagplaplay 'yong video kung papano mag luto ng sinangag.
"Ano 'yon, teka wait! Dumidikit na saglit, paano 'to!?" nagpapanic na saad niya pero halata rin na pinipigilan niyang sumigaw.
Tatawa tawa akong lumapit sa kaniya at niyakap siya mula sa likuran.
He/she flinched a bit but when he/she saw that it's me, agad siyang nag relax.
"Ah, you're awake na," malungkot na sabi niya at humarap sa akin. He/she tried to smile and kissed my lips. "Good morning, gorgeous,"
"Good morning, lovie," bati ko pabalik. "What are you doing?"
He/she tried to cover the thing na ginagawa niya. I know he/she is shy because nag fail 'yong plano niyang lutuan ako.
"Nothing.." sagot niya at kinamot ang likod ng ulo.
"Come on, lovie nakita ko na kanina, I was there watching you," natatawang sabi ko at tinuro 'yong pwesto ko sa may pinto kanina.
"Fine," sagot niya at huminga ng malalim. "Look, lovie you know that cooking is not my thing.."
"Because palaging si Inay ang nagluluto, yes I know that very well, lovie," asar ko.
Sumimangot niya and I just kissed his/her lips.
"But I want to cook for you," yumuko siya. "So, I tried watching sa youtube and sinunod ko lang 'yong mga sinabi.. but hindi pala ganoon kadali. How come it's still hirap kahit sinunod ko naman lahat?" iritang reklamo niya.
Natawa ako sa itsura niya, para siyang batang napagkaitan ng pagkain.
"What's funny, Patricia?" tanong niya at tinaasan ako ng kilay.
"You're cute," I answered and pinched his/her nose. "I appreciate your effort tho,"
Nang mapatingin ako sa kamay niya, mukhang natalsikan siya ng mantika kasi puro mapupula 'yon.
"Is it sakit?" tanong ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya.
"Okay lang 'yan," sagot niya. "I'll buy you breakfast na lang, what do you want?"
"Hmm, the sinangag. E, saan naman makakabili non?"
"Oo nga," he/she agreed.
Pareho kaming nagiisip nang bigla siyang tumingin sa akin.
A naughty look.
"Or.." lumapit siya sa akin. "Puwede namang ako na lang 'yong almusal?"

"Lovie!" saway ko at hinampas ang dibdib niya.
Patuloy lang siya sa paglapit hanggang sa maramdaman ko na sa likod ko 'yong countertop.
"I know my birthday is already done, pero puwede bang ngayon ko makuha 'yong gift ko?"
He/she looks so serious right now which made me gulped.
Y/N was about to kiss me when we heard someone from the door.
"Anong ginagawa niyo po?"
Agad kong itinulak palayo si Y/N at nag kunwari naman siyang nagaayos nung mga pinggan.
I looked at Keith who's standing sa may pinto habang kinukusot ang mata.
"Ah, nagaayos lang kami rito, Keith," sagot ko at natawa nang bahagya. "Bakit ang aga mo?"
Was that an awkward laugh? I want to slap myself right now.
"Nauhaw po ako," she said at dumiretso sa ref. "Kayo po? Nagutom po ba kayo?"
"H-Huh?"
"Mukha pong magkakainan kayo, e."
Naubo si Y/N nang marinig 'yon at agad ko namang hinampas ang likod niya.
"Arki, okay lang po kayo?" nagaalalang tanong ni Keith. Hindi pa siya ganoon kahyper ngayon dahil kagigising lang niya.
"Anong magkakainan?" Y/N asked.
"Ang ibig ko pong sabihin, Arki e sabi po kasi ni Doc Tricia nagaayos po kayo, so akala ko po kakain kayo ng almusal?"
"Ah, yes yes!" ako na ang sumagot. "Oo, nagutom ako pero okay na pala ngayon, nakainom na rin ako tubig," palusot ko at hinila siya palabas ng kitchen. "Balik na tayo sa tulog, Keith maaga pa,"
I secretly signaled Y/N to clean 'yong mga gamit na pinaglutuan niya.
The dumbass just smiled and winked at me.
Nang maihatid ko si Keith sa kwartong tinutulugan niya ay agad kong sinarhan ang pinto at sumandal doon.
Muntik na 'yon.
"Ate Trish," I slowly opened my eyes when I heard someone calling me. "Gising na raw,"
Nang tuluyan kong mabuksan ang mata ko ay agad kong inilibot ang paningin ko, dito na pala ako sa sala nakatulog.
"Where's Y/N?"
"Nandoon sa dining, pinaghahanda ka ng makakain,"
"Sinong nag luto?" tanong ko dahil ang huling alala ko ay nag fail siya sa ginagawa niya kanina.
"I saw him/her struggling kanina and mukhang gusto ka talaga ipagluto," sagot niya. "So, tinulungan ko na,"
Napangiti ako nang marinig 'yon. Kahit na pagod siya at sugat sugat na ang kamay, itinuloy pa rin talaga niya.
Sabay kaming nag punta sa dining at naabutan ko ron si Y/N na busy sa pagaayos ng lamesa with Ate Aiks, Mama and Keith.
"Hi, love." bati niya at lumapit sa akin bago hinalikan ang noo ko. "Sit down,"
Pinaupo niya ako at tumabi siya sa akin.
"Anong gusto mo rito?" tanong niya habang tinuturo 'yong mga pagkain.
I smiled, mula noon ay kahit sabay kaming kumakain, never siya nanguna sa paglalagay ng pagkain sa pinggan ko. Palagi niya munang tinatanong kung gusto ko ba 'yon o anong gusto ko sa mga nakahain.
Masaya kaming nagsalo salo sa niluto nina Jill habang nag kwekwentuhan. When suddenly, tumunog 'yong cellphone ko.
"Right now?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. "Alright, I'll be there,"

Binilisan ko ang pagkain ko at mukhang napansin 'yon ni Y/N. Hinawakan niya ang likod ko at tumingin sa akin.
"You alright, lovie?" malumanay na tanong niya.
"The new intern is in trouble," sagot ko. "Pinapatawag ako,"
"Sige, ihatid na kita," aniya habang hinahaplos ang likod ko.
"Huwag na,"
"I insist, lovie."
"Huwag na nga," iritang sagot ko. "Aalis na nga ako, pati ba naman ikaw? Dito ka na lang with them,"
Napatigil siya saglit bago tumingin sa akin at ngumiti.
"You don't have to be mad, lovie," he/she said. "If you don't want me to hatid you, then ako na lang susundo sayo, deal?"
Wala akong nagawa kung hindi tumango at pumayag sa gusto niya. Nagsisimula pa lang ang araw ko, stressed na. At sa kaniya ko nababaling 'yong pagkastress ko.
"Ako na mag tutupi nito, maligo ka na,"
Matapos kumain ay dumiretso ako sa kwarto at nang akmang tutupiin ko 'yong maruruming damit ko ay inagaw sa akin 'yon ni Y/N at siya ang gumawa.
Kahit sa kaniya ko naibaling 'yong stress ko kanina, hindi siya nagpaapekto ron at patuloy pa rin sa pag ngiti at pag aalaga sa'kin.
Nang matapos ako sa pagaayos ay nagpaalam na ako kay Mama.
"Ma, alis na po ako," I said as I hugged her.
"Mag ingat, anak. Text me once you're there,"
"Ingat, Ate Trish!" Jill said at kumaway sa akin. "Sana hindi ka na masungit mamaya!"
"Huy, Jill!" saway ni Ate Aiks sa kaniya bago tumingin sa akin. "Bye, Patty! In Jesus name, good mood ka na mamaya!"
Inirapan ko lang silang dalawa at saka ako hinatid ni Y/N sa parking.
It's gonna be a long day for you again, Tricia.
—•—
"Where are you going?"
I asked Jill nang mapansin kong nagaayos siya, mukhang may lakad.
"Hiniram ko si Natalia and Afo kay Ate Gaile," sagot niya habang iniipitan ang buhok. "May duty din naman s'ya so ilalabas ko sila,"
Inagaw ko sa kaniya 'yong pang tali sa buhok at ako ang nag ayos non.
"Sama ako, okay lang ba?"
"Hindi ka ba kasama kina Mama?" tanong niya.
Lalabas din sina Tita with Ate Aiks and Keith, they said sumama ako pero dahil mag isa lang si Jill with Natalia and Afo, I decided na sa kaniya na sumama.
"Para may kasama kayo nina Natalia," sagot ko. "I wanna bond with them too,"
Jill was about to answer nang mag vibrate 'yong phone ko na nakapatong sa lamesa at text mula kay Tricia ang bumungad.
"Let's go?" aya ko kay Jill.
Sabay sabay kaming umalis ng condo. Sina Tita ay dumiretso sa mall while kami ni Jill ay dumiretso kina Ate Gaile.
Pagpasok pa lang namin ay sinalubong na kami nung dalawang bata.
"Arki!" Natalia shouted as she ran papunta sa akin at sinalubong ako ng yakap.
"Hello, pretty," bati ko. "How are you?"
"This is unfair," reklamo ni Jill habang hawak hawak si Afo. "Hindi na ako favorite,"
"I'm good, Arki! I miss you so much!" Natalia answered me, ignoring Jill. I sticked my tongue out kay Jill. "Are you gonna go out with us?"
I nodded and patted her head. "Uhuh, but we need to paalam to your Mom first, alright?" she nodded. "Where's your Mommy?"
Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at hinila ako papunta sa room niya kung nasaan si Ate Gaile. Nakasunod lang sa amin si Jill and Afo.
"Ate Gaile," kumatok ako sa pinto bago tuluyang pumasok.
Nagaayos siya ng bag nung dalawang bata.
"Oh, nandito na pala kayo," she said at tumayo para yakapin kami ni Jill. "I thought si Jill lang?"
"Kawawa naman, walang kasama," asar ko.
Jill slapped my arms at umirap.
"Where's your girlfriend?" tanong niya.
"Oh, Tricia.. may duty po siya ngayon, tho I already told her na lalabas kami with Natalia and Afo,"
After our quick kamustahan, dumiretso na rin kami sa mall.
And of course, since mga bata ang kasama namin, sa toy kingdom sila dumiretso. And kami ni Jill, nakasunod lang sa kanila.
"Arki! Arki!" Afo called me. Patakbo akong lumapit sa kaniya at lumuhod sa harap niya para maabot siya. "Can we buy this?"
"Both of you get whatever you want," I said at lumapit sa tenga nila bago bumulong. "Arki will pay,"
Pareho silang napangiti at bumalik sa paghahanap ng laruan na gusto nila.
Naramdaman kong nag vibrate ang cellphone ko.
Pagkatapos namin magusap ni Tricia ay tiningnan ko nang masama si Jill.
"What?" tanong niya at nag cross arms habang nakataas ang kilay.
"Why did you sumbong me!?" pabirong tanong ko at inakbayan siya, pareho kaming tumatawang nakasunod doon sa dalawang bata.
Nang matapos sa toy kingdom, dumiretso kami ron sa bilihan ng mga damit.
"Look at this," I said nang may makitang matchy na damit. "Perfect for Natalia and Afo, right?"
"Oo, tapos tingnan mo price," Jill said.
"Ikaw naman magbabayad," depensa ko.
"Ako?" nagtatakang tanong niya at lumapit kay Natalia. "Diba, Arki said he/she will pay?"
"Yes, you said that Arki!" Natalia answered and giggled.
Mayabang na ngumiti si Jill bago kinuha sa akin 'yong damit at inilahad ang kamay.
Waiting for me na ibigay ang credit card ko.
Inilahad din ni Natalia at Afo ang kamay nila sa harap ko while smiling, mocking what Jill is doing right now.
I sighed at walang nagawa kung hindi ibigay ang card ko.
Patalon talon silang tatlong naglalakad papunta sa cashier habang magkakahawak ang kamay.
"Kukunin niyo na po ba 'to?" tanong nung isang staff. "Nako, bagay na bagay po 'yan sa mga anak niyo!"
Napatigil kami sa paglalakad at nagkatinginan ni Jill.
Pareho kaming sasagot sana pero walang lumalabas na salita mula sa bibig namin.
"HAHAHAHA ATE, HINDI PO NILA ANAK 'YAN!" napalingon ako sa tabi ko nang biglang sumulpot si Keith na halos mamatay na katatawa at tinapik ang balikat ko. "ARKI, ANAK NIYO RAW HAHAHAHA LAGOT KA KAY DOC, SA SOFA KA MATUTULOG MAMAYA,"
"Siraulo ka ba? Tumahimik ka nga d'yan!" saway ko at kinurot ang tagiliran niya.
"Mag ex po ya—"

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown. Release Schedule The schedule is subject to change, particularly if enough readers end up loving it. All chapters are already written, thus there is enough freedom to modify them.
