Pagkamulat na pagkamulat ng mga mata ni Narda ay nakita nyang nagce-cellphone si Regina.
Inunat nya ang kanyang mga kamay at napatingin si Rehina sa kanya.
"You're drunk last night?"
"Medyo." Sagot ni Narda na husky pa ang boses.
"Why? Do you have a problem?"
"Wala naman." Antok na sagot ni Narda ag tumalikod kay Regina.
Niyakap naman sya ni Regina at unti-unting tumulo ang mga luha ni Narda.
"Hey." Malambing na tawag ni Regina at iniharap sa kanya si Narda.
Hinalikan nya ang noo nito at hinagod ang likod. Hinayaan nyalang umiyak si Narda hanggang sa kumalma ito.
"Now, why are you crying?" Tanong ni Regina.
Gustong-gustong sabihin ni Narda ang tunay na rason kung bakit, pero naghihintay pa sya ng tamang panahon para rito.
"Wala lang, nagugutom nako eh." Dahilan ni Narda.
"No, Narda, Tell me the reason why."
"May itatanong ako sayo, sagutin mo ng maayos ah?"
"Hmmkay!"
"What if you like someone but, nakikita mo na masaya na sya sa iba?" Narda asked.
Regina thinks. "Then, I think I will let that someone go."
"Kahit na masakit?"
"Yes, kasi if you really love that person you will choose their happiness instead of ruining it." Regina explained. Bigla naman syang napaisip. "Are you liking someone right now?"
"I can say, yes."
"Hoy! Sino yan? Ikaw ah, di mo sinasabi sakin na may gusto kana." Regina said.
Tumawa naman si Narda. "You will know that person soon."
"I miss our gala with your bike." Sabi ni Regina habang nakapout.
"Same, may gagawin ka ba mamaya?"
"Wala naman."
"Then, gala tayo mamaya!" Masayang sabi ni Narda.
"Osige, kiss muna sa kili kili ko."
"Sige ba!" Ilalapit na ni Narda ang nguso nya nang kilitiin nya ito.
"AAHHH! Narda— it's tickling me!" Tawang-tawang sabi ni Regina.
Bigla naman nagring ang cellphone ni Regina. Kitang-kita ni Narda kung paano ito ngumiti, alam na nya kung sino yun.
"Hello, Brian?"
Nag-excuse muna si Regina kay Narda at nakita ni Regina na lumungkot at mukha nito.
"Regina, free ka ba mamaya?" Tanong ni Brian.
"Uh, yes, why?"
"Labas tayo?" Masayang alok ni Brian.
Naalala naman bigla ni Regina na gagala nga din pala sila ni Narda. "Uhm, di ako sure Brian eh. Chat nalang kita mamaya okay?"

"Osige."
Nagpaalam na sila sa isa't isa at nakita ni Narda na may pa-flying kiss pa ang dalawa.
"Pwede ka naman sumama sa kanya eh." Narda said.
Once again, hindi mabasa ni Regina ang mga mata nito.
"But you said we will gala later with your bike." Regina said and pouts.
"May next time pa naman."
Bumuntong hininga naman si Regina. "Do you want me be with him para makainom ka ulit?"
"Hindi noh! Kahit naman kasi ikaw ang papipiliin, sa kanya ka parin sasama pero okay lang naman yun. Hindi naman sa hindi na tayo makakagala diba?"
Nalungkot naman si Regina sa narinig nya. "I'm sorry, Narda."
Nginitian sya ni Narda. "Okay lang yun, sige na sabihin mo na sa kanya na sasama ka. I'll be alright."
"Sure ka ba?"
Tumango naman si Narda at nagcr. Narinig nya ang masayang boses ni Regina habang kausap si Brian.
Tanghali na nang sinundo ni Brian si Regina. Nginitian nya nalang ang dalawa habang pinapanood na maglakad pababa.
Pagkaalis naman nila ay umalis narin si Narda. Gamit naman nya ang kanyang bike, bumili sya ng donut at pumunta sa apartment ni Ding.
"Oh ate!" Masayang tawag ni Ding at niyakap ang ate nya. "Pasok ka muna ate."
Pumasok na si Narda at humiga sa sofa. "Ang lambot naman nito tol."
"Syempre, magaling ako pumili noh!"
"Edi ikaw na magaling." Sabi ni Narda at inirapan ito.
Natawa naman si Ding. "Musta ka na ate? Mukhang ang lungkot mo ah?"
"Hindi naman."
"Weh? Kilala kita ate, di ka makakapagsinungaling sakin."
Well, Ding knows when Narda is sad, happy, mad and etc.
"Hula ko, kay ate Regina yan noh?" Tanong ni Ding.
"Pano mo nalaman?"
"Kumikinang kaya yung mga mata mo kapag nakikita mo sya. Tapos kapag binanggit ko yung pangalan ni ate Regina napapangiti ka, o di kaya kumikinang mata mo."
Nagulat naman si Narda sa sinabi ni Ding. Hindi nya alam na masyado pala syang obvious, or baka dahil observant lang si Ding?
Bumuntong hininga naman si Narda.
"Ay ang baho ate ah?"
Hinampas nya naman ito. "Ang sama mo talaga sakin kahit kailan. Isusumbong kita kay—"
"Wag! Joke lang eh."
Natawa naman silang dalawa.

"Ewan ko, Ding. Mukhang nagkakamabutihan na sila ni Brian." Malungkot na sabi ni Narda.
"Aminin mo na kaya ate? Malay mo may may gusto rin sayo si ate Regina tapos di mo alam kase di mo naman inamin."
Narda knows that Ding has a point, pero sa ngayon ay hindi pa nya kayang aminin yun kay Regina.
"Hindi ko pa kaya, Ding. Naghihintay pa ako ng tamang panahon para sabihin sa kanya."
"Basta wag mo patagalin ate, baka pagsisihan mo yan sa huli."
Tumango naman si Narda at nagngitian sila. Nagkuwentuhan pa sila hanggang sa maggagabi na. Nagpaalam na si Narda na uuwi na sya at nagyakapan ulit ang magkapatid dahil mamimiss nila ang isa't isa.
Sumakay na ng bike si Narda at pumunta sa Manila bay.
Isang malamig na hangin ang sumalubong sa kanya. Ang mga alon na naguunahan at ang isang barko na makikita sa di kalayuan.
Narda feels peace. Nakaupo lang sya habang pinapanood ang sunset. Yun ang lagi nyang ginagawa noong hindi pa nya kilala si Regina.
Mula sa paglubog ng araw at hanggang madaling araw, nandoon lang si Narda, minsan ay nagpapatugtog sya o di kaya naman ay kumakain kapag nagugutom sya. Pinapanood nya lang ang araw at ang buwan pati narin ang mga kumikinang na bituin sa kalangitan.
Pero dahil kailangan nyang umuwi sa condo nya, hanggang sa paglubog lang ng araw nya kayang manood.
Tahimik lang syang nakaupo at paglingon nya sa kanan nya sy nakita nya sila Brian at Regina.
Ang ulo ni Regina ay nakapatong sa balikat ni Brian habang nanonood sila ng sunset.
"Bakit dito pa?" Bulong nya. Nagsuot sya ng mask, sumbrero at jacket para hindi sya makilala.
Hindi na sya makapagfocus dahil ang mga mata nya ay laging pumupunta sa kanilang dalawa.
Nakita nyang biglang inangat ni Regina ang ulo nya kay Brian at unti-unting naglalapit ang kanilang mga mukha.
Nararamdaman ni Regina ang mabilis na pagtibok ng kanyang puso. Papalapit na nang papalapit ang kanilang mukha at naramdaman nya ang mga labi ni Brian.
Mabilis na sumakay si Narda sa bike nya at naguunahan sa pagbagsak ang kanyang mga luha.
Pumunta sya sa seven eleven at bumili ng limang beer. Napagdesisyunan nyang hindi muna umuwi sa condo at magstay muna sa apartment ni Ding.
Kita nya ang gulat sa mga mukha ni Ding nang magpakita sya rito na umiiyak.
"Ate." Hinila ni Ding si Narda papasok sa kanilang bahay at niyakap ito ng mahigpit.
Nakarating na sila Brian at Regina sa pinto ng condo ni Narda.
"Thank you for making this day special, Brian." Nakangiting sabi ni Regina.
"And thank you for letting me court you."
"Gabi na, Brian. Mabuti pa siguro kung umuwi kana sa inyo." Nag-aalalang sabi ni Regina.
"Oo nga, I'll see you next time?"
"See you next time."
Nagyakapan silang dalawa at umalis na si Brian nang may ngiti sa kanyang mga labi.
Binuksan ni Regina ang pinto at hinanap si Narda.
"Narda, are you there?" Tanong nya pero walang sumagot.
"Baka gumala."
Naligo muna sya bago humiga sa kama. Pagtingin nya sa oras ay 10pm na, nagtataka sya kung bakit wala parin si Narda.
Naghintay pa sya ng isang oras ngunit wala parin ito. Tinry nyang tawagan si Narda pero hindi ito sumasagot.
Naghintay ulit sya ng isang oras pero wala parin si Narda.
Tinawagan nya ito ng tinawagan hanggang sa panghuling tawag nya ay sinagot na ito ni Narda.
"Finally! Narda where the heck are you?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Regina.
"Si-sino ka?" Narda drunkly asked.
Bumuntong hininga naman si Regina.
"It's me, Regina. Lasing ka nanaman, akala ko ba hindi ka iinom?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Regina? Ah!! Okay kilala na kita. Bakit ka tumawag?" Lasing na sabi ni Narda, halos di na ito maintindihan ni Regina.
"Akala ko ba hindi ka iinom? Asan ka?"
"Andito ako oh!" Nagbukas naman ng camera si Narda at nakita ito ni Regina na papikit pikit na.
"Saan yan?"
"Sa apartment."
"Apartment nino?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Secret." Sabi ni Narda at dinilaan ito.
"Narda!!"
"Matutulog na ako, Regina." Sabi ni Narda at nakatulog na nga agad.
Regina sighed at umiling-iling nalang. "Goodnight, Narda."
Sya na ang nagend ng call since tulog na si Narda.
What the heck is happening to you, Narda?

The Badboy Prince Just Can't Resist
"Why are you so nervous?" "I'm not.""Your pupils dilate every time you look at me. What are you so worried about, sweetheart?" He asks me, his warm breath fanning my ear. I rolled my eyes, and he took that as a response. "Why are you so afraid of me, Annalise?""I'm not," I repeated in a firm tone, trying to stop my body's temptation of leaning into his touch. "Then why can't you think properly while so close to me?" Damien's lips were now grazing my ear. His strong arms expertly pull me in, arms crossed around my waist ready to spin me back out. I despised the way he made me feel when we would dance, as if I liked being under his lead- it infuriated me. "I can think just fine." I spin myself back out, trying to take control. He chuckled,"This is why I find you so intriguing. You want to resist me, and I haven't found somebody like that before. It's quite frustrating, having someone who doesn't bend to my will."The nerve of this man!I scowled,"I'm not just going to follow your every command. Being a Prince doesn't mean you gain-""I could give you anything. A title or land, and any other girl-""I'm not just 'another girl' who will bend to your standards. I don't have time to pamper your ego as if you own the school.""In fact, I do. Thank you for reminding me sweetheart, sometimes I forget." Arrogance laced his tone, sending my fury into overdrive."I am nobody's sweetheart, especially not yours."His laugh sent vibrations through my body,"You have never failed to amuse me. I think we should get to know each other better." I felt his lips against my ear curl into a sly smirk.~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Cover by @afranticdreamer#4 romance #1 royal 9-29-2020#1 kingdom 3-30-2020#3 king 4-3-2020#1 princess 4-13-2020#1 new 5-14-2020-All rights reserved -Kick back and enjoy a book with a little bit of mystery, magic, humor, and don't forget romance
