《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Pumasok si Regina sa bahay nang walang ka emo-emosyon ang kanyang mukha.
Napatayo naman ang nobyo nito na si Kevin.
"Regina, please, I am sorry for what I did."
"Sinaktan mo ako, Kevin. Hindi lang physically, my inner also. Akala mo ba hindi ko alam na nakikipagkita ka sa mga babae mo?" Galit pero kalmadong sabi ni Regina.
"What do you mean by babae? Regina, alam mo naman na ikaw lang. Ikaw lang ang babaeng minamahal ko."
Regina scoffed. "Hindi mo na ako madadala sa mga ganyan, Kevin."
"Oh please believe me. Don't you have trust on me?"
"Before I have, pero after ng ginawa mo sakin. Hindi ko na kayang pagkatiwalaan ka pa." She looked at Kevin's eyes. "Break na tayo."
Kevin looked at her angrily and suddenly held Regina's wrist tightly.
"Ano ba Kevin bitawan mo ako!!" Pilit na inaalis ni Regina ang kamay nya, pero masyadong malakas si Kevin.
"Akin ka lang." Madiin na sabi ni Kevin at ngumiti na parang demonyo.
Hinila sya pataas ni Kevin, kung saan, nandoon ang kwarto nilang dalawa.
"Kevin! Bitawan mo ako ano ba!"
Ginamit nya ang isa nyang kamay para matawagan ang taong alam nyang matutulungan sya.
"Narda." She whispered.
Hindi naman ito napansin ni Kevin dahil nakatalikod nyang hinihila si Regina.
Sinagot ni Narda ang tawag kaya naman sumigaw si Regina.
"Ano ba Kevin, bitawan mo ako! San mo ba ako dadalhin."
Ngumiti si Kevin sa kanya. "Magsasaya lang tayo, mahal ko."
Puno ng takot ang nararamdaman ngayon ni Regina. Naluluha na sya dahil sa takot na nararamdaman nya.
"Narda please be here." Bulong nya.
Nakarating na sila sa kwarto at sinarado ni Kevin ang pinto. Napansin naman ni Regina na hindi ito nilock ni Kevin kaya medyo nakahinga sya ng maluwag.

Hinalikan sya ni Kevin at pinipilit nya itong itulak, pero mas diniin lang ni Kevin ang halik.
Umaagos na ang mga luha sa kanyang mga mata. Kevin broke the kiss and wiped her tears.
"I love you so much." Bulong ni Kevin.
Hindi na sumagot pa si Regina at pinaagos lang ang mga luha nya sa kanyang mukha.
Tinulak sya ni Kevin sa kama at tumayo agad sya. Sinubukan nyang tumakbo palabas pero nahawakan agad ni Kevin ang braso nya at tinulak ulit sya sa kama.
Hinawakan ni Kevin ang dalawa nyang kamay at hinalikan ang leeg nito. Nagpapakawala nalang ng malalakas na hikbi si Regina, dahil hindi nya kayang labanan si Kevin.
Bababa na sana ang mga halik ni Kevin nang may humampas sa kanya ng sobrang lakas na napahiga sya sa sakit.
"Narda!" Tumakbo si Regina dito at niyakap ito.
Nakita nyang tumayo si Kevin kaya naman pinababa nya si Regina.
"Regina, kailangan mong bumaba."
Dahil sa pag-aalala kay Narda ay hindi sya pumayag.
"Narda no, please, I will just be here with you I don't want to leave you."
"Sundin mo nalang ang sinasabi ko, Regina please. Para ito sayo, nawawalan na tayo ng oras kaya gawin mo na please. Babalik ako ng buhay promise."
Regina looked at her worriedly. "Okay fine, please take care Narda."
Tumango na lamang si Narda at hinarap si Kevin.
"Asan si Regina? Bakit ka nandito? Bakit nakikialam kang babae ka?!"
"Eh ikaw? Bakit ang dami mong tanong?" Sagot ni Narda nang kalmado, at unti-unting ginigitna ang paa nya sa dalawang binti ni Kevin.
Kevin clenched his jaw and looked at her angrily. "Wag mo akong ginagalit! Isa kalang babae at wala kang laban sakin na lalaki. Isa kang mahinang nilalan-"
She kicked his balls with her feet in the middle of his two legs and smirked.

"Oh? Bakit parang umiiyak kana agad? Masakit ba? Ay mahinang nilalang."
Pumalakpak si Narda at umakyat na ang kanyang kaibigang pulis na si Brian.
"Arestuhin." Utos ni Brian sa kanyang mga kasamahan.
"Ang angas mo don pre." Sabi ni Brian sa kanya at nakipag high five.
"Syempre. Tara baba na tayo."
Bumaba na sila at nakita ni Narda si Regina na alalang-alala. Medyo lumapit sya dito at nginitian.
"Narda, thank God you're safe."
Narda broke the hug and faced Regina.
"Diba sabi ko sayo na babalik akong buhay?"
Tumango naman si Regina at niyakap ulit si Narda.
"Okay ka lang ba? Hindi ka naman nya sinaktan?" Tanong ni Narda at chineck ang mga parts ng body ni Regina.
"Wala naman, pero buti nalang dumating ka agad. Sobra na akong nadidiri sa mga pinaggagawa nya. Ayoko nang maalala."
Narda cupped her cheeks and approached Brian.
"Brian!" Tawag niya. "May ipapakilala ako sayo dali."
"Oh, sino naman?"
Lumapit sila kay Regina. "Uh, Regina, si Brian nga pala. Brian, si Regina."
"Hi! Nice to meet you, Regina."
"Nice to meet you too, Brian."
Naghandshake ang dalawa at may kakaibang naramdaman si Narda habang nagkakamayan ang dalawa at nakatingin sa isa't isa.
Bigla naman syang nabulunan at napaubo.
"Oh, okay kalang?" Tanong ni Brian.
"Here, water." Binigay ni Regina ang tubig at ininom naman ito ni Narda.
Hinimas himas naman ni Brian ang likod ni Narda habang nainom at umiwas ng tingin si Regina sa kanila.
Maya maya pa ay nagpaalam na sila Brian sa kanila. Naiwan naman silang dalawa sa labas ng bahay.
"Should we go somewhere?" Tanong ni Narda.
"Yeah, I think we should."
Sumakay na sila sa bike ni Narda at pumunta sila kung saan sila unang nagkita, Manila bay.
Ibinaba na ni Narda si Regina at nagpaalam na iaayos nya lang ang bike nya.
Umupo si Regina sa sahig ng tahimik lang sya na para bang may iniisip. Umupo naman si Narda sa tabi nya at napansin na malalim ang iniisip nito.
Tanging mga alon lang ang naririnig dito dahil sa baba nila ay puro tubig na. Mas lalong nakakarelax ang mga tunog nito.
"Ang ganda ng mga bituin no?"
"Oo nga eh." Pagsang-ayon ni Regina.
Napatitig si Narda sa side profile ni Regina at nagandahan sya dito. She thinks that Regina is perfect, for her, she's perfect.
"Ang ganda talaga." Sabi nya at napatingin si Regina sa kanya.
Nakita ni Regina kung paano nagsparkle ang mga mata ni Narda.
"Thank you so much for saving me for the second time, Narda."
"You're always welcome, alam mo naman, andito lang ako lagi sa tabi mo if ever need mo ako. I'm here to listen to your rants, your pains at lahat lahat ng mga gusto mong ishare."
Napangiti naman si Regina at pinatong ang ulo nya sa balikat ni Narda.
"I feel comfortable." Regina said.
Narda smiled. "I feel comfortable too. Are you cold?"
"Slight."
Hinubad ni Narda ang jacket nya at isinuot ito kay Regina. Amoy na amoy ni Regina ang scent ni Narda na bagong nyang kaaadikan. Ipinatong na ulit ni Regina ang ulo nya sa balikat ni Narda.
"Can we stay like this for a while?" Regina asked.
"No problem. Just tell me if you need something."
"Okay, thank you." Regina said and they both smiled.

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.

Regarding The Life of A Certain Fallen Noble

In days long past, several Mage Kings cut a path of destruction everywhere they went.

These, along with his personal status, make him desired by many. After a young Lyle begins a relationship with one Sophia Alderton, two years pass by. Then a lack of trust coupled with a certain misunderstanding leave the two estranged and left on a sour note. But Lyle even still retains his friendship with Cecelia, Sophia's sister. With Cecelia, his loving sister Iris and Melanie--A young woman who recieved his aid some time ago--Lyle is content to pass the days in peace and idleness. Well, when he's not completing harsh missions from his combat instructor, that is. But this peace is ruined when Lyle's father tells of a mysterious group hell-bent on causing war between the human and demon continents. Later, when his father involves him and his sister in an incident resulting in Iris being put in mortal danger, Lyle makes a decision which could very well cost him not his life... but instead his soul. His status, his loved ones, his dignity as a human being... All these may soon be lost. His life isn't his own. Not anymore. He can only brace himself for the things to come and hope he makes it out with his sanity intact. ******************* EDIT- Author Note: Another thing, the cover photo is not mine. Obviously. It's just a picture I found one day at DeviantArt and thought that the two shown in the picture looked like how I imagined Lyle and another character to be. Simply put, it was convenient in various way and I also loved the art. From my understanding is is from a collaboration between artists Chocobikies and Pinlin. Here is a link to where I found the original http://pinlin.deviantart.com/art/Linked-456655669
