《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 4
Advertisement
As day goes by, mas naging close pa sila Narda at Regina. Mas marami pa silang nalaman about sa isa't isa.
Kung nung first time palang nila matulog ng magkatabi ay may unan pa sa pagitan nila, ngayon naman ay halos magdikit na sila sa sobrang yakap nila sa isa't isa.
Lagi namang nagiistay si Regina sa condo ni Narda and they always bicker.
"Narda, nakita mo ba yung mask ko?" Tanong ni Regina kay Narda na nagluluto.
"Hindi, baka nahiya sayo, ang ganda daw kasi ng gagamit."
Regina laughed. "Sira! Baka mamaya nasa pwetan na bulsa mo nayan ha."
"Pano kung oo? Susuutin mo pa ba?"
"Yuck! Hindi na no!"
This time, si Narda naman ang natawa. "Ginawa mo kaya yan sa mask ko, hindi ko ba sinuot?"
"Sinuot."
"Edi suutin mo rin yung mask mo na nakalagay sa bulsa ko sa pwetan."
Regina's eyebrows furrowed. "Aba, mabango naman ang pwet ko."
"True."
"Narda!!" Inis na tawag nya, pero nakarinig lang sya ng tawa mula sa kusina.
"Malay ko ba kung nasaan ang mask mo. Hindi naman ako ang nagamit nyan."
Nagpatuloy sa paghahanap si Regina pero di nya talaga makita.
"Argh! Narda hindi ko makita, baka kinuha mo."
Napatingin naman si Narda kay Regina. "Grabe ka, hindi ko yon kinuha noh!"
Nilibot na ni Regina ang buong condo ni Narda pero hindi nya parin ito mahanap.
"Ilabas mo na kasi Narda!!"
"Ang alin ba? Wala nga sakin."
At dahil kita na ni Narda na naiinis na si Regina ay tumulong narin syang maghanap. Wala naman talaga sa kanya eh, sadyang napalagay lang sa hindi makikita.
Hinalungkat ni Narda ang bag ni Regina at nakita nito ang mask na kanina pa hinahanap ni Regina.

"Andito naman pala eh." Kalmadong sabi ni Narda.
"Saan mo nakita?"
"Aba edi sa bag mo."
Kinuha ni Regina ang mask nya kay Narda at tumingin kay Narda.
"Sorry." Paghingi nya ng tawad at niyakap si Narda. "Sorry for blaming you."
"It's okay. Let's eat?" Tanong ni Narda at tumango na lamang si Regina.
Sarap na sarap naman si Regina sa luto ni Narda. Lagi sya nitong nilulutuan at para sa kanya, yun ang pinakamasarap na pagkain na nakain nya.
Umiinom na ngayon si Narda ng tubig, hindi naman mapigilang mapansin ni Regina ang Adam's apple or whatever you call it ni Narda habang lumulunok ng tubig.
Tumingin sya kay Regina at nagtanong. "Ayos lang ba suot ko?"
Ayos na ayos sagot ni Regina sa isip nya.
"A-ah, oo ayos, mukha ka ngang tao eh."
Tumaas naman ang isang kilay ni Narda habang napakagat ng labi si Regina dahil pinipigilan nitong tumawa.
"Ano?" Tanong nya kay Narda.
Bumuntong hininga naman si Narda. "Ang ayos naman kasi ng sagot mo. Alam mo yun, parang bibigay na yung kausap mo na kausapin ka."
Napangiti naman silang dalawa at pilit na pinipigilan ang tawa.
"Bat ba natin pinipigilan tawa natin, mukha tayong engot eh." Natatawang sabi ni Narda.
"I'm too pretty to be called engot noh!"
Umarte naman si Narda na para bang tinatangay sya ng hangin na malakas.
"Ay hala grabe Regina oh, tinatangay na ako ng hangin."
"Deserve."
Hinampas naman ng mahina ni Narda si Regina. "Grabe ka talaga sakin noh? Una, ang ganda ganda ng sagot mo sa maayos na tanong ko. Pangalawa—"
"Ang maingay pangit." Random na sabi ni Regina.
Bigla namang napatahimik si Narda dahil sa sinabi ni Regina. Bumuntong hininga na lamang sya at umiling-iling.

"Anyways—" Pagputol ni Regina sa katahimikan.
"Oh wala na, sabi ko na nga ba ang ganda ganda ko eh." Confident na sabi ni Narda at rumampa sa harap ni Regina. "Narda moments nga naman."
Hinampas naman sya ni Regina at binigyan ng di makapaniwalang tingin.
"Ang pogi ko talaga." Biglang sabi ni Narda at biglang nagpapogi.
"Narda, tama ka na."
Napatawa naman silang dalawa at napagpasyahang umalis na at mag-grocery.
"Hey, sino pala ang magdadrive?" Tanong ni Narda since gagamitin nila ang kotse ni Regina.
Napaisip naman si Regina at tinignan si Narda. "You're wearing rubber shoes, so ikaw ang magd-drive today."
"Ano naman ang kinalaman non?"
Tinignan sya ni Regina ng seryoso. "Ikaw kaya magdrive ng nakaheels. Ewan ko nalang kung ano ang mangyari sayo nan."
"Pwede naman."
Regina rolled her eyes at binigay ang susi kay Narda. "Ewan ko sayo!"
Tumawa nalang si Narda at pinagbuksan ng pinto si Regina.
"Thank you." Ngumiti si Regina dito at agad naman itong nginitian pabalik ni Narda.
"Alright, wala kabang naiwan?" Tanong ni Narda after nyang makaupo sa driver's seat.
Regina checked her bag and feeling nya ay wala naman syang naiwan.
"Wala naman. Let's go na."
Narda nodded and started driving. When they reached the mall ay biglang naexcite si Narda.
"Yes! Finally, makakabili na ako ng donut." Narda said with full of exciteness on her voice.
Bumuntong hininga naman si Regina at nagpatuloy lang sa paglalakad.
"Nasayo ba yung list?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Uh, wala eh. Ang alam ko ay inilagay ko yun sa bag mo."
"Really? Bakit wala dito."
"Ayan ka nanaman, baka naman andyan lang yan tapos—"
"Narda, I saw it on the car. Ako nalang ang kukuha, kaya ko naman eh." Sabi ni Regina, pero mukhang against si Narda sa gagawin nya.
"Ano ka ba, Regina. Hindi safe ang mag-isa ka lang noh! Let me go with you."
Regina stopped her. "Please, kaya ko naman eh."
"Still—"
Tumingin si Regina kay Narda with her puppy eyes. Begging for her to say yes.
Narda sighed. "Alright, basta bilisan mo lang."
"Okay!" Sigaw ni Regina na nagmamadali nang lumakad papunya kotse.
Ilang minuto na ang nakalipas at hindi parin bumabalik si Regina. Nagtataka na si Narda dahil dapat mabilis lang ito kasi nakita na nya ang list kanina.
Nag-hintay pa ulit ng dalawang minuto si Narda para hintayin si Regina. Pero sa dalawang minuto na yon ay hindi pa rin bumalik si Regina.
Nag-aalala na ito ng sobra kaya naman sinubukan nyang puntahan si Regina para ma make sure na okay lang ito at walang nangyayaring kababalaghan.
Pag kita nya sa kotse ni Regina ay nakita nya ito na hinahatak na ng isang lalaki.
"Hoy! Pakawalan mo sya!" Sigaw nya at tumakbo kung saan dinadala ng lalaki si Regina.
Lumingon ang lalaki sa kanya at nagsmirk. Bigla namang kumulo ang dugo nito dahil ang lalaking humihila ngayon kay Regina ay walang iba kundi ang ex nyang si Kevin.

Between Worlds
(This is a reupload of Sexy Space Babes, as it's easier for me to reupload the series in a new format rather than go back and re-insert the old chapters that were taken down while the first book was on Kindle Unlimited.) Jason had thought about punching a Shil’vati. Who hadn’t? Not only had the aliens conquered Earth with almost trivial ease, the seven-foot purple amazons also had the audacity to start running the planet better than Humanity ever had. He'd never do it though. He was a reasonable guy, just trying to get by under his new feminine overlords. Wasn't he?

The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody
[participant in the 2018 NaNoWriMo Royal Road challenge] The Ordinary Life of Tom Nobody is a LitRPG system story where each person transitions into the system, or SCHEMA as this system is known, innocent and unaware of his former life. Following the tutorial, memories return, but by this point, each person has a better chance of accepting their new world. It also gives them an opportunity to start from scratch, fresh without all the baggage of their former lives dictating their decisions in the early stages of the process. I don’t expect this will necessarily turn into an action-packed heroic tale, my intent is to create a character who wants to have just an ordinary, but reasonably comfortable life. I don’t know myself how well he will succeed, there may be twists and Tom may discover some heroism hidden deep inside. I guess we’ll find out together. This is my first writing attempt. I’ve wanted to write all my life, but I’ve never been able to develop the proper discipline to put in the work. I hope I complete the challenge and work my way past this hump. I am writing this as part of the NaNoWriMo Royal Road Challenge. While I will try to self-edit as I go, the challenge requires close to 2,000 words a day, so parts of the story may be rough, and things like plot lines may not make as much sense as any of us would like. If all goes well, and I complete the challenge, I plan on going back through everything and trying to polish it up. In the meanwhile, thank you for reading and I hope I don’t disappoint.

Vanisher
Joshua Hall is an intelligent and promising college sophomore. But when he accidentally witnesses Sara Wilder, a new and quirky acquaintance, receive an eldritch mark of possibility from her mother, everything changes. Josh can now see marks, eldritch symbols of power brought from another plane of existence that empower the weak and the futureless, that are invisible to most. But that's not the only thing that he's seeing, as strange dreams haunt Josh's sleep and threaten to destroy his sanity. With his mind and body struggling to handle the impossible things he can now perceive, Josh has to decide: accept a mark himself, or attempt to forget everything. This is a bit of an experimental project for me, as it isn't my norm in genre or topic. Expect: -Slow build storytelling -Character details -Foreshadowing -Dialogue driven narrative -Dynamic action scenes -Some mild graphic descriptions of injury -Sexuality is a factor -No explicit content (at least not directly) -Mild body horror -Light cosmic horror Reviews and critique are highly encouraged. I am a civil and fair responder, don't be afraid to initiate a conversation. If you see this story posted anywhere outside of RoyalRoad or Inkitt, please let me know as those are the only sites I currently host on. [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
