Ang dalawa ay napaisip nang marinig nilang may nagdoorbell. Wala naman kasi silang pinapunta pero may pumunta.
"Ako na ang magbubukas." Sabi ni Narda at tumango naman si Regina.
Pagbukas ni Narda ng pinto ay tumambad sa kanya ang pinakamamahal nyang kapatid na nakangiti kasama ang girlfriend nito.
"Hi ate!" Masayang bati ni Ding.
"Ding!!"
Nagyakapan naman ang magkapatid at inakbayan naman ni Narda ang girlfrien niyakap den ni Narda ang girlfriend nito.
"Pumasok muna kayo." Sabi naman ni Narda.
Pagpasok nila ay agad na binati ni Regina si Ding at ang girlfriend nito.
"Hi ang ganda mo naman, anong name mo?" Tanong ni Narda sa girlfriend ni Ding.
Ngumiti ito bago sumagot. "Carmela po."
Nagkatinginan ang si Narda at Regina.
"Nice to meet you, Carmela." Sabi ni Regina
"Me too." Sabi naman ni Narda at nakita nilang ngumiti si Carmela sa kanila.
"Nice to meet you two po." Namumulang sabi ni Carmela.
"Ah, ate Regina at Ate, andito kami para sabihin sa inyo na kami muna ang mag-aalaga sa kambal dahil gusto namin na makapagpahinga kayo. Lalo ka na ate Regina." Sabi ni Ding.
"Oo nga po, alam po naming dalawa na mahirap maging isang ina. Kaya eto naisipan namin na bantayan muna sila." Sabi ni Carmela.
Napangiti naman si Regina at Narda.
"Salamat sa inyong dalawa." Sabi ni Regina at niyakap ang dalawa.
"Group hug!" Sigaw ni Narda at nagyakapan na silang lahat.
"Go na ate Regina at ate, gusto nyo kami pipili ng damit nyo?" Tanong ni Ding at nagkatinginan ang dalawa.
"Ako pipili ng kay ate Regina." Sabi ni Carmela, habang si Ding naman ay naisipan na si Narda nalang ang magii-style kay Narda.
"Ate, mukha kayong mag-asawa pagpasok namin, promise." Sabi ni Ding na may halong pang-aasar.

Napatawa naman si Narda. "Ang ingay mo, baka marinig tayo."
"Nako, dadaldalin ni Carmela si ate Regina kaya hindi nila tayo maririnig."
"Huy grabe ka! Parang mahiyain nga eh." Sabi naman ni Narda.
"Medyo mahiyain nga sya, pero mabilis molang sya makakaclose, kaya feeling ko eh mamaya magkachikahan na sila ni ate Regina."
Narda laughed. "Eh bakit nyo ba naisipan na damitan kami?"
"Kase date nyo to. First ever dat-"
"Hoy Ding! Alam mo naman na hindi nya ako gusto diba?" Sabi ni Narda, pero ngumiti lang si Ding.
"Soon." Bulong ni Ding habang nakangiti ng sobra.
"Hoy ano? Jusmeyo magsasalita nalang ang hina pa."
"Ahhh!!!!" Sigaw ni Ding na ikinagulat ni Narda ng sobra sobra.
Narinig naman nila na may sumigaw sa kabilang kwarto.
"Love! Ang ingay mo, tulog yung mga bata. Lagot ka sakin pag nagising yan." Sigaw ni Carmela at agad na napatawa si Narda at Regina.
"Sorry po." Sabi ni Ding.
Tapos na nilang pilian ng isusuot ang dalawa kaya naman, pinalabas na nila ang dalawa at para bang nag-slow mo ang paligid nila nang makita nila ang isa't isa.
Kitang kita sa mga mata ni Narda ang pagkinang nito, at ang tibok ng puso ni Regina ay mabilis na para bang sasabog na ito sa kanyang dibdib.
"You're so beautiful, Regina." Sabi ni Narda habang nakatitig sa kanya.
"You're hot." Bulong ni Regina, pero hindi ito masyado narinig ni Narda dahil sobrang hina nito.
Napag-isipan ni Ding at Carmela na bigyan sila ng privacy at pumunta muna kila Maxine at Florence.
"Ang tindi ng mga mommy nyo, parang bigla silang nag ss tapos naginvisible kami bigla." Nagrereklamong sabi ni Ding sa kambal habang hinampas naman sya ni Carmela.

Paglabas nila Regina at Narda sa condo ay pumunta na sila kung nasaan ang sasakyan ni Regina. Agad na pinagbuksan ng pinto ni Narda si Regina, medyo namula naman ang pisngi ni Regina dahil sa ginawa ni Narda.
Nang makapasok na sila ay binuksan ni Narda ang radio para naman makahanap ng maganda kanta, pag bukas nya ang kantang bumungad ay ang kanta ni Olivia Rodrigo na, deja vu.
Agad namang pinatay ni Narda ang kanta at ikinonnect nalang ang cellphone nya sa radio ng sasakyan nito.
"Tek It, my favorite." Sigaw ni Regina nang tumugtog na ang kanta.
Where did you learn what it means to reciprocate?
And how much can I be expected to tolerate? Uh
They vibed and sang along.
Narda suddenly looked at Regina while singing, nakared pa kasi ang traffic light at medyo matagal pa bago mag-green.
Suddenly, Regina looked back while singing these lines.
"That song is on a different level." Sabi ni Regina.
"Agreed." Sabi naman ni Narda. "Alam mo ba kung saan yung Tagaytay?"
"Tagaytay? Is that a place?"
Tumango naman si Narda. "Pupunta tayo dun! Kahit na malayo, sabi kasi ni Leslie nakakarelax daw doon eh."
"Saan ba yun?"
"Cavite. Ang layo diba? From Manila to Cavite."
"Oo nga, but you said it's relaxing there so for me it's okay." Sabi naman ni Regina habang nakangiti.
"Are you sure? Baka mamaya gusto mo sa ibang place tayo?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Narda. Iniisip nya kasi baka hindi bet ni Regina na pumunta doon, since nakikita nyang hindi sya masyadong familliar dun.
But Regina just smiled at her and held her hand. "We can go anywhere, as long as you're with me."
And just by that, their heartbeats are beating fast, wide smiles on their faces, Narda's sparkling eyes and Regina's butterflies on her stomach. Everything just feels perfectly fine.

An Unwavering Craftsman
Given the hereditary nature of classes, everyone expects Damien—the child of two high-tiered adventurers—to be granted a high-tier combat class of his own. Expectations are betrayed, however, when Damien finds himself instead saddled with a crafting class of the lowest possible tier: [Neophyte Tailor]. Left practically crippled compared to those with better classes, Damien wants to avoid becoming a pawn in the machinations of the nobility, desiring only to grind his level in peace while wondering why the usual rules of inheritance were broken. Was it his desire to excel by his own effort, rather than an unearned blessing from a god? Did the Five take offence at his opinions on the unfairness of hereditary classes? Or maybe it was something to do with the alien voice that intruded on his ceremony? A voice that offers great power, and freedom from the tyranny of the Five, but that never names its price. This story is litRPG-lite. While the class someone possesses controls most of their lives, people don't get dinged at for every level they gain, nor can they see their status without undergoing a special ritual. The MC has no romantic interest. Crafting is merely a way to game the system, and doesn't feature heavily in the story, aside from a few descriptions on how they're carrying out the system abuse. There is, on one unfortunate occasion, maths. The pace is quick. This was a participant in the Spring 2022 writathon. (i.e. it was posted as-written at high speed. I may give it another editing pass in the future.)
