"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 120Mail Fox Tales
When trying to save an injured animal while drunk you don't really expect many consequences. If you were sober, you'd likely expect to be saddled with a few bills and some work finding the owner.In either case, being saddled with divine duties by an ancient animal spirit is probably not amongst the things you expect. Neither did Eva when she picked up an injured canine after an evening out drinking with a friend to celebrate their arrival in Tokyo.At least those duties are little more than a part time job as a delivery-fox. And they come with room and board, as well as making her life that much more interesting.
8 253Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will.
