"Narda, are you sure that you're not mad at me?" Regina asked Narda.
Tumango naman si Narda at nilaro laro si Florence. Tuwang tuwa naman si Florence kaya napangiti nalang si Regina habang pinapanood sila.
"She's happy with you."
Napatingin naman si Narda kay Regina at ngumiti ng malawak.
"Ang cute nya nga eh."
"Mamamamam." Irit naman ni Florence dahilan para matawa silang dalawa.
Lumapit naman si Maxine kay Narda at niyakap si Narda.
"Aww." Sabay na sabi ni Regina at Narda.
Lumapit naman si Florence kay Regina at niyakap si Regina.
"Aww." Sabay ulit na sabi nila at napatawa. Bigla rin naman tumawa si Florence kaya napatawa rin sila lalo.
Napatingin naman si Narda kay Maxine at kamukhang kamukha ito ni Regina, lalong lalo na ang mata nito.
"She looks like you, really. Everything about your face, nakuha nya." Manghang sabi ni Narda.
"I am also shocked to be honest. Yung attitude din medyo nakuha sa akin, pero ayokong makuha nya yun." Sabi naman ni Regina.
"Hindi ka naman masamang tao ah?"
"Nah! Masama rin akong tao."
"No, you're not." Sabi naman ni Narda.
"I-"
"Aaahhhhh!!" Biglang irit naman ni Maxine kaya hindi na natuloy ni Regina ang sasabihin nya.
"Ingay mo daw kasi mommy." Sabi ni Narda.
Napatawa naman si Regina. "Ikaw kaya nagsimula."
"Hindi kaya, ikaw kaya." Sabi naman ni Narda.
Kumunot naman ang noo ni Regina. "It's you, Narda."
"Ikaw!"
"Mamamamamam!" Malakas na sabi ni Florence at tumawa.
"Oh sabi sayo eh, ikaw daw nagsimula." Sabi naman ni Regina at niyakap si Florence.
"Ikaw kaya."
Biglang umalis si Maxine at Florence sa dalawang nagtatalo at nagyakapan.
"Aww! Ang cute!" Sabay na sabi nila Narda at Regina.

"I guess, ayaw nila tayo magtalo." Sabi ni Narda.
"True."
Nakarinig sila ng katok at sabi naman ni Regina ay sya na ang magbubukas. Gulat na gulat si Regina nang makita nya si Brian, feeling nya ay nagflashback lahat ng nangyari sa kanya kaya kusa nalang tumulo ang kanyang mga luha.
"U-uh." Pagsisira ng katahimikan ni Brian.
"D-don't touch me, p-please." Natatakot na sabi ni Regina at unti-unting nags-step pabalik. "Don't g-get c-close."
Lumingon naman si Narda sa likod nya at nakita si Regina na humahakbang paatras habang si Brian ay lumalapit sa kanya.
Agad syang tumayo sa harap ni Regina at pinoprotektahan sya.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito? Bakit ka pa nagpakita?" Galit na tanong ni Narda.
Tumingin si Brian sa kanya at galit ang makikita mo sa mga mata nito. "Umalis ka remember? Hindi mo alam ang nangyari, hindi ka dapat maki-alam sa buhay namin ng asawa ko!"
Narda scoffed. "Ikaw dapat ang hindi maki-alam sa buhay ni Regina. Gusto mo pala ng anak, eh bakit sa maling paraan mo pa ginawa?"
"Regina, bantayan mo ang kambal, takpan mo ang tenga nila. Kapag ayaw ni Brian lumayo kami at sa ibang lugar mag-usap." Bulong ni Narda.
"Answer me." Sabi naman ni Narda kay Brian.
"Hindi mo na dapat malaman kaya umalis ka na!" Sigaw ni Brian.
"Excuse me? This place you're stepping in is mine, incase you forgot."
"Wala na akong paki-alam don, basta, umalis ka dito!" Sigaw ulit ni Brian.
"Sige, umalis kana dito." Sabi ni Narda at tinawagan ang guard sa telepono. "Guard, this is Narda Custodio and there's someone na nanggugulo dito."
"Okay mam, coming po." Sabi naman ng guard.
Ngumiti ng peke si Narda at saka sinara ang pinto. Narinig nya ang mga sigaw ni Brian at napa-iling nalang sya.

"Regina?" Malambing na tawag ni Narda.
"N-narda." Umiiyak na tawag ni Regina.
Agad namang niyakap ni Narda si Regina at hinanap ang mga bata. Nakita nya ito na naglalaro sa kuna, kaya tinayo nya si Regina at pumunta kung nasaan ang mga bata.
"Don't think about him, I am now here don't worry." Sabi ni Narda at hinalikan ang noo ni Regina.
"You're making me cry even more." Sabi naman ni Regina and fresh set of tears rolled down to her cheeks.
"Hey! Though everyone said that if you cry, you'll become ugly. Pero ikaw, umiiyak na hottie paren."
Napatawa naman si Regina at hinarap si Narda. "Grabe ka talaga mambola noh?"
"Huy totoo yun, no lies yun."
Regina rolled her eyes and smiled. "Sus! Sige nga prove mo nga."
"Sige!" Nakasmirk na sabi ni Narda at tinawag ang dalawa. "Maxine, Florence."
"Diba maganda si mommy?" Tanong nya dito at ngumiti naman ng malawak si Florence habang si Maxine naman ay poker face lang. "Manang mana sa nanay."
Natawa naman si Regina dahil nakita rin nya ang mukha ni Maxine. "Hindi naman ako ganyan ah."
"Sus, di ko naman sasabihin kung hindi ka ganon."
"Eh hindi naman talaga."
Kumunot naman ang noo ni Narda. "Hoy! Nung magkasama tayo tapos si Leslie nagtitinda ng ice cream sa Manila Bay diba nakapoker face ka lang nun habang natawa kami."
"Yeah whatever." Sabi naman ni Regina at umirap.
Ginaya naman sya ni Narda at biglang umaray sa hampas ni Regina sa kanya.
"Regina bumakat oh! Namumula tuloy." Nakapout na sabi ni Narda.
"Boom bakla deserve!"
Bumuntong hininga naman si Narda. "Hindi na ikaw yung dating Regina na kilala ko."
"Bakit, paano mo nasabing hindi na ako?"
"Char! You got krissed!" Sabi naman ni Narda at nagsayaw sa tuwa.
Napailing-iling nalang si Regina at tinapik ang balikat ni Narda.
"Okay lang yan, ang mahalaga, naandito ka na."
Tumawa naman si Narda sa sobrang random nito.
"Ang random mo mommy." Sabi naman ni Narda.
Napa-iling nanaman si Regina. "Narda, gutom lang yan. Gusto mo gatas?"
"Yes!"
"Pwes, gusto rin ni Maxine at Florence. Halika na at tulungan moko magtimpla." Sabi naman ni Regina.
"Gusto kong timplahan si Florence tapos timplahan mo si Maxine, kapag mamaya ulit, ako naman kay Maxine tas ikaw kay Florence."
"Okay, do whatever you want." Sagot naman ni Regina.
Nagsimula nang turuan ni Regina kung paano timplahin ang gatas nila Maxine at Florence. When they both succesfully did, they now gave it to the twins and they received cute smiles.
"Thank you for helping me." Sabi ni Regina habang nakahiga na sila sa kama. Tulog na kasi ang dalawa kaya napagdesisyunan na nilang matulog narin.
"No problem, I am here for you."
Regina looked at Narda. "I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." Narda said.
"Goodnight."
Narda smiled. "Goodnight."
Nagkatinginan naman sila at ngumiti sa isa't isa, bago sila nagyakapan at natulog.

8 374The 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.
