Advertisement
Biyernes na ngayon at bukas na ang huling araw para makapagbonding sila ni Regina. Kahit pa sya ay nalulungkot, hindi nya ito pwede ipakita kay Regina dahil makakahalata ito.
"Regina?" Sabi ni Narda at tinapik tapik ang braso nito para magising. "Gising na bebe girl, nagluto ako."
"Hmm." Sabi ni Regina at napangiti naman si Narda dito.
"Gising na o kikiss kita."
Pero hindi parin minumulat ni Regina ang kanyang mga mata.
"Awsus, ayaw pang sabihin na gusto ng kiss ko." Pang-aasar ni Narda dito.
"Shut up."
"Oh tignan mo, sumagot agad. Ibig sabihin gusto talaga ng kiss ng isang Narda Custodio." Natatawang sabi ni Narda.
"Manahimik ka nga, lumalakas yung hangin."
Napailing-iling nalang si Narda at tumabi dito. Niyakap naman nya si Regina at kiss ang ulo nito.
"Bangon na! Si Brian pala umalis na kanina kase may pasok daw sya."
"Hmm." Antok na sagot ni Regina.
"Osige, tulog nalang din ako ulit."
"Anong pagkain dyan?" Tanong ni Regina at humikab.
"Nagluto ako ng sinangag, itlog, hotdog at bacon."
"Ang dami naman."
"Edi akin na lahat." Sabi ni Narda at bigla naman syang hinampas ni Regina. "Grabe ka talaga sakin, tinotorture mo ako."
"Tsk! Eh kasi kinakausap ka nang maayos tapos hindi ka sumasagot ng ayos." Naiinis na sabi ni Regina.
"Maayos naman ako sumagot ah? Aga aga naman highblood ka, porket umalis na si Brian." Sabi nama ni Narda at ngumuso.
"Tss, iniinis mo ako eh."
"Meron ka ba?" Tanong ni Narda.
"Wala."
"Eh bat ang highblood mo?" Nakangiting tanong ni Narda.
"Ulit ulit ka girl?" Sagot ni Regina at umirap.
Tumalikod naman si Narda at nanahimik nalang. Kinuha nya ang phone nya at naglaro nalang.

"Regina, tignan mo, ang ganda ng bahay ko!" Masayang sabi ni Narda at ipinakita ang bahay nya sa roblox, pero hindi sya pinansin ni Regina. Bumuntong hininga nalang sya at nagpatuloy sa paglalaro.
Tumawag naman bigla si Leslie at agad nya itong sinagot.
"Leslie! Laro tayo." Masayang aya nya kay Leslie.
"Nako, wala na akong storage eh. Anong oras pala ali—"
Hindi na natapos ang sasabihin ni Leslie nang patayin agad ni Narda ang tawag. Bigla naman syang pinawisan at chinat si Leslie.
Narda : Bonak! Katabi kolang si Regina, hindi ko pa nasasabi.
Leslie : Ay sorry, hindi ko naman alam eh. Anyways, ano ngang oras?
Narda : Madaling araw eh, 3 am.
Leslie : Sino maghahatid sayo?
Narda : Ikaw, sino pa ba.
Leslie : Akala ko ihahatid ka ni crushie mo?
Narda : Mukhang hindi kasi magcoconfess na ang lola mo.
Leslie : Goodluck accling! Mahal na mahal kita pogi.
Narda : Crush mo nanaman ako, hays, grabe ka na talaga.
Leslie : HAHAHA dyan ka na nga baka masapak pa kita.
"Aalis ka?" Tanong ni Regina.
"A-ah." Nag-iisip si Narda ng pwedeng sabihin pero walang pumapasok sa isip nya. "M-mamaya."
"With who?"
"A-ako lang." Bigla namang pinagpapawisan si Narda. "Bibili lang ako ice cream."
"Okay." Sabi naman ni Regina at bumangon na para kumain. "Tayo ka na dyan at kakain na tayo."
"Lagi nalang tayo kumakain ah?"
"Eh anong gusto mo? Wag nang kumain at uminom nalang?" Sabi ni Regina at umirap.
"Init talaga ng ulo." Bulong ni Narda.
"Are you saying something?" Tanong ni Regina at nakataas pa ang isang kilay.
"Huh? Wala noh!"
Kumain na silang dalawa at hindi parin pinapansin ni Regina si Narda. Kaya nanahimik nalang si Narda hanggang sa natapos silang kumain.
"Galit ka ba sakin?" Narda said while pouting.

"No."
"Bakit hindi mo ako pinapansin?"
Regina lookes at Narda's eyes and she can see the sadness in it. Bigla tuloy syang naguilt.
"Wala lang siguro ako sa mood, I am sorry." Sagot nya.
"Okay lang." Sabi naman ni Narda at ngumiti pero hindi abot sa kanyang mga mata.
"I am really sorry, Narda."
Ngumiti naman ulit si Narda but still, hindi parin ito abot sa kanyang mga mata. "Okay lang, Regina. May pupuntahan pala ako."
"Where?"
"Seven eleven, bibili lang ako ng ice cream." Sabi nya at umalis na agad ng condo.
"Argh! What did you do Regina?" Naiinis na sabi ni Regina sa sarili nya.
Pagbaba ni Narda ay agad syang sumakay sa bike nya. Pagdating nya sa seven eleven ay binili nya ang favorite flavor ng ice cream ni Regina pati narin ang brand nito.
Nakita nyang may dalawang lalaking nagsusuntukan, kaya naman inawat nya ito, paglapit nya ay ginawa syang shield ng isang lalaki at nasuntok tuloy sya sa nguso nya.
Andaming nakakita ng nangyari kaya agad tumakbo ang mga tao para umawat. Dali dalinh sumakay si Narda ng bike at naghanap ng mask dahil hindi ito pwedeng makita ni Regina.
"Dapat kasi hindi na ako nangialam, pero ayos na yun atleast naawat na ang dalawang lalaki." Inis na sabi nya at nagsuot na ng mask.
Pag bukas nya ng pinto ay niyakap sya agad ni Regina. Niyakap nya naman ito pabalik.
"Kainan na ulit!" Masayang sabi ni Narda, pero pag ngiti nya ay medyo sumakit ang sugat nya sa labi.
Nako, paano na ako kakain nito? Sabi ni Narda sa kanyang sarili.
"Why are you wearing a mask?" Takang tanong ni Regina.
"Wala lang, style lang sya."
"Remove that now and eat." Sabi naman ni Regina, pero hindi parin tinatanggal ni Narda.
Ngayon ay kinakabahan na si Narda, bigla syang pinagpapawisan kahit may aircon naman.
"Aalisin mo yan o ako ang mag-aalis dyan?" Seryosong sabi ni Regina, pero again, hindi parin tinatanggal ni Narda ang mask.
Dali dali syang lumapit at hahablutin na sana ni Regina ang mask nang pigilan ito ni Narda.
"Isa! Narda!" Regina gave her a cold stare. Napatigil naman si Narda at hinayaan na lang si Regina.
Pag-alis ni Regina ng mask nya ay nakita nya ang labi nito na medyo dumudugo pa.
"What the heck? Anong nangyari dito?" Tanonf ni Regina.
"U-umaawat lang kasi ako, tapos b-bigla akong ginawang shield ng lalaki. T-tapos ako yung nasuntok." Kinakabahang paliwanag ni Narda.
Ibinaba ni Regina ang ice cream nya at yung nasa tupperware ay inilagay nya sa freezer. Kinuha nya ang kit at lumapit kay Narda.
"Dapat kasi sa susunod ay hindi kana mangialam." Pagsesermon nya dito at kinuha ang bulak. "Yan tuloy napahamak ka pa."
"Atleast naawat na yung away nila, yun ang mahalaga."
Bigla namang napadiin ang bulak na may gamot kaya naman napa-aray si Narda.
"Oh tignan mo? Ayan ang nakuha mo sa ginawa mo." Bumuntong hininga sya at patuloy na ginamot ang sugat.
Magkalapit naman ang mukha nila at bumibilis nanaman ang tibok ng puso ni Narda. Tumingin sya sa mga mata ni Regina hanggang sa kanyang mga labi. Napalunok naman sya at doon na lumayo si Regina.
"Oh ayan, maayos na ang sugat mo."
"Salamat." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda.
Sana lagi akong may sugat sa labi.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

A Step Behind Death
Please share your thoughts about the story! Feedback and criticism is welcome, it'll help me improve my writing. "The final year of high school is the most difficult." This statement has never been truer for Damis, a student attending one of the many schools in the City of Sundridge. He never wanted anything more than to live a peaceful life, going so far as to avoid having large group of friends, indulging in dragged out conversations, or being involved in any other activity that requires him to invest a large amount of effort to accomplish. Instead, he poured all of his efforts into studying, dwelling in his internal monologues, and complaining about the things that annoy him to his one and only friend, Noah. Before long, he ended up as one of the best students in his class. As far as he was concerned, he was content with how he lived. But, after a confrontation with an eccentric girl named May, one of his classmates since the first year of high school, things have suddenly gotten out of hand. And as a result, his life became a lot more hectic than it used to be. Bound by a deal he could not refuse, his life as May's assistant began. At this rate, can he still spend the final days of his high school life in peace? Welcome to the life of Damis, the boy who's always A Step Behind Death. The cover art is made by friend of mine. I plan on making this novel into a webtoon once it becomes the best it can be. English isn't my first language, so expect some grammar bumps along the way.
