《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 6
Advertisement
Papasok na si Narda sa condo nya nang may narinig syang ingay, ingay na hindi masakit sa tenga. Nakakapag pabilis pa nga ng tibok ng puso nya eh.
It's Regina, singing one of her favorite song from IV of Spades, Come inside of my heart, using Narda's acoustic guitar.
I love you
But I don't really show you
I'd call you
But only if you want me to
Oh, don't you let it stop
Oh, I won't let it happen, baby
I will never stop
But only if you listen to me
Hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin nagbabago ang heart beat ni Narda. Regina's angelic voice just captured her.
"Gosh, her voice." Narda whispered while smiling like an idiot.
Narda sat on the door while still listening to Regina's angelic voice. Mas lalong na-inlove si Narda.
With the last strum, natapos na ang kanta and Narda stood up with a wide grin. Pinilit nyang magpoker face at pumasok na sa condo.
Pagpasok nya ay nakita nyang magkavideo call si Regina at Brian. Para namang sinaksak sya ng isang libong beses sa nasaksihan nya.
Does that mean, kinantahan ni Regina si Brian? Pagiisip ni Narda.
"Hi! You're home." Masayang bati ni Regina kay Narda.
Narda tiredly smiled and placed her bag at the nearest chair that she saw.
"Uh, Brian, mamaya nalang ulit ah?" Regina said to Brian.
"Oh sige sige, walang problema."
Natapos ang tawag nang may malawak na ngiti si Regina. Pansin na pansin yon ni Narda dahil hindi sya bulag para hindi makita ang mga nangyayari.
"Are you hungry?" Malambing na tanong ni Regina.
"Nope."
"Do you want me to order you a pizza?" Tanong ulit ni Regina, pero umiling lang si Narda at nahiga sa kama.
"Narda, are you okay?"
Tumango naman si Narda. "Why?"

"Are you sure ba?"
Narda raised her eyebrows.
"Tell me what's going on." Nag-aalalang sabi ni Regina.
"Nothing is going on, I am fine, Regina. I think I'm just tired." Sagot ni Narda at ipinikit ang kanyang mga mata.
"Oh, okay. Rest well." Malungkot na sabi ni Regina.
She honestly don't know what's happening to Narda. The girl seems sad, hindi nya mabasa ang mga mata nito.
"Aalis lang ako." Paalam ni Narda.
"Pero kakarating molang."
"Yeah, may pupuntahan pako."
"Eat first." Alok ni Regina.
"I'm fine, baka dun na ako kakain." Sabi ni Narda at umalis na.
Malungkot naman si Regina dahil hinihintay nya si Narda umuwi para sabay silang kumain. Unfortunately, what she imagined, didn't turn out well.
Nagring ang phone nya at nakitang tumatawag si Brian.
"Brian, bakit ka tumawag?"
"Kumain ka na ba?" Tanong ni Brian.
"Eh, hindi pa nga eh."
"Hindi pa ba umuuwi si Narda?"
Regina sighed. "Umuwi na, pero umalis ulit eh sabi dun nadaw kakain sa pupuntahan nya."
"So wala kang kasama ngayon dyan?"
"Wala eh."
Medyo napatahimik naman si Brian ng ilang sandali bago ito magsalita.
"Magbihis ka, hindi naman bongga. Kain tayo sa labas." Nakangiting sabi ni Brian.
"Okay!" Masayang sabi ni Regina.
Sinuot ni Regina ang isang hoodie ni Narda dahil gustong gusto nya ang amoy nito. Inintay nya si Brian na dumating at maya maya pa narinig nyang may bumusina sa harap nya.
"Brian!"
"Regina!"
They hugged each other for a minute and then Brian opened the door for Regina.
Namula naman ang buong mukha ni Regina sa ginawa ni Brian.
Masaya silang umalis at kumain sa labas without knowing that Narda is watching them.
She smiled sadly as she went back to her condo. Regina's scent welcomed her, the scent that she got addicted to.

"Grabe yung scene nayun, ang sakit, sobra. Ang galing nila." Narda said.
Umiinom ngayon si Narda ng beer. Nakailang can narin sya at medyo lasing na sya.
Pumunta sya sa higaan at tumingin sa bintana.
"The moon is shining." Narda said. "Maybe the moon is happy, happy with someone else."
"While I am the sun, kasi ang hot ko. Naks iba ka talaga, Narda." Sabi nya ulit at tumawa.
Bumuntong hininga sya at napagpasyahang magcover at iupload ito sa kanyang youtube channel.
"This one is for you, Regina. This song is something that I can relate, because it's confirmed that I like you after a months of being confused." Narda said before filming.
She strum the guitar and sang.
I don't really give a damn about the way you touch me
When we're alone
You can hold my hand
If no one's home
Do you like it when I'm away?
If I went and hurt my body, baby
Would you love me the same?
I can feel all my bones coming back
And I'm craving motion
Mama never really learns how to live by herself
It's a curse
And it's growing
You're a pond and I'm an ocean
Oh, all my emotions
Feel like explosions when you are around
And I've found a way to kill the sounds, oh
Oh, baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
I need you here to stay
I broke all my bones that day I found you
Crying at the lake
Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden?
Oh, and if I could take it all back
I swear that I would pull you from the tide
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
I said no (I said no), I said no (I said no)
Listen close, it's a no
The wind is a-pounding on my back
And I found hope in a heart attack
Oh at last, it is past
Now I've got it, and you can't have it
Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
I need you here to stay
I broke all my bones that day I found you
Crying at the lake
Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh
And if I could take it all back
I swear that I would pull you from the tide
Darling, when I'm fast asleep
I've seen this person watching me
Saying, "Is it worth it? Is it worth it? Tell me, is it worth it?" Oh
Punong-puno ng emosyon na kanta ni Narda. She's feeling it, she can relate.
Guess there is something, and there is nothing
There is nothing in between
And in my eyes, there is a tiny dancer
Watching over me, he's singing
"She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a boy"
He's singing, "She's a, she's a lady, and I am just a line without a hook"
Baby, I am a wreck when I'm without you
I need you here to stay
I broke all my bones that day I found you
Crying at the lake
Was it something I said to make you feel like you're a burden, oh
And if I could take it all back
I swear that I would pull you from the tide
With the last strum, Narda ended. Pinatay nya na ang camera at inilagay ang gitara sa lalagyan nito.
Pagupo na pagupo nya sa kama ay bumagsak na ang mga luha na pinipigilan nya kanina pa.
"Ilang buwan na simula nung magkakilala tayo, we share each other's secrets but this." Pagturo nya sa kanyang dibdib.
"What's inside this is the secret that I can't share to you. Hind ko kaya. Ayokong matapos lahat nang to nang dahil lang sakin." Humihikbing sabi nya.
Pinunasan nya ang kanyang mga luha at sabay sabing, "You are inlove with someone that will never be me."

Bookworld Online: Marsh Man
Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online! Your name is David Drake and you are a 10 year old slave to the Marsh Hag. You were bought from your parents when you were only a small child at two years old. You don't really remember your old family at all. That's a good thing, since you would hate them on sight for selling you to her. All you've know for your whole life is pain. You are usually quickly healed and receive a lot of training and experience as her unofficial apprentice. It's unofficial because she would never pay to have you registered as an actual apprentice. To everyone else, you are just the boy she took pity on and brought into her home. What they don't know is that you are much more than that. So much more. You are her food. She uses you as her own personal buffet and she indulges herself quite often. You even have the permanent scars to prove it. You have learned many things from her, mostly without her knowing, since you have been helping more and more with her spell work the last few years and her potion making. The only parts you can't do are the magic condensing rituals that her potions require and the mana infusions that a lot of her other creations need. Do you wish to initiate the Main Storyline with these parameters? Please Note: I publish daily.Second Note: I changed this story to a fan fiction. It is based on Swamp Boy. The old story is about 4 years old and was dropped after 19 long chapters. The author hasn't been online since then, so I figured it was safe to do my own take on it.

Nowhere to Run
Nina is a young priestess that just started her journeys in the Highlands, in a faraway land. But everything falls apart when greater forces are scheming and unknown men are suddenly after her. She will have no choice but to resort to her wits, make unexpected allies, and navigate her way through unforgiving lands in order to survive. Will she be up to the task? Greetings, reader! First of all, thank you for taking an interest and read my story. This is a story I've been working through all my life. But since I'm a first-time writer, I wanted to start with something small. This is just a small part of something much greater that hopefully one day I'll be able to translate into words as well. I will try to make it interesting as possible but please bear with me. Please understand that English is not my native language, I worked really hard to write in English the best I could. So please if you find any typos and grammar errors let me know. I'll try to upload new chapters as soon as I can. Although I had originally planned to deliver a chapter a MONTH, I think the real estimate would be a chapter EVERY 3 MONTHS since I also have to earn the daily bread. Cover picture made by me. The background picture is from Google but I modified it enough from the original. The story is also available on Wattpad, Inkitt, Scribblehub, and Webnovel.

The Sister In The Forest(Cancelled)
What do you do when you have a missing sister? Cry for the eternity of your lifeline and do nothing until you die? Or do you take a perfect opportunity of your childhood to explain the explanations of why your sister went missing in the first place? Follow a 16-year-old boy named Aaron Duncan, he is a muted teenager by choice who had lost his sister at a young age. He was five when his sister, Althea, went missing with no explanation. Aaron couldn't do anything, he couldn't prescribe a search until he was sixteen. So, he made it a struggle for the world and went mute, he refused to speak a single word until he finds his sister. And he finally got a chance, his school invited him to a multi-school camp trip to The Kielder Forest, a very recognisable memory for Aaron as it was that forest he and his sister made memories in. No chances were wasted, he agreed and went on the camp trip with his chubby best friend, George. When he arrived at the forest, he felt off. Aaron knew something was entirely eerie about the forest that never felt this way ever before, but he was the only one who felt this way so he shrugged it off and went into the forest with multiple different schools from all around the UK. Meeting Lia Ann kept Aaron thinking about his sister as they had similar personalities. One night, adrenaline was high for Aaron and he decided to go to the cave he made memories with deep in the forest. Everything was intact and his friendship with Lia grew when they both encountered each other. So, normally, Aaron thought nothing of it and continued going back to the cave until one day he was ambushed by a liquid entity that wasn't human. It almost murdered him before he was saved by an unexpected guest, his sister, in pure flesh, was finally in front of him. Aaron wanted to know everything, he asked everything until one question did it for Aaron as he found himself passed out from the help of Althea's distant eyes and woke up in his tent by George. "Was it a dream?" He asks himself dreadfully. A question that will have him explore his character, his purpose, his beliefs, his trust, and his friendships. Will a dream break Aaron down and destroy him? Or will it build him up to be even stronger to find out how his sister went missing? And possibly, what or who may have murdered her?

Delicate as Glass
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Nuri, an [Assistant Glassworker], only has a single Skill. It’s really not fair. He’s worked in the hot shop his entire life, following in his father’s footsteps after his parents passed away, but he’s stuck. Despite possessing above-average talent as an artisan, he still hasn’t shed his [Assistant] status, gained a second Skill, or even leveled enough to reach the first Threshold. Besides, he’s bored; most days he daydreams of adventure and becoming a hero, or pines for the renown that’s sure to be his if he evolves his Class into a [Master Glass Smith], but nothing ever changes—until suddenly, fate strikes, and nothing is ever the same again. These days, Nuri sees more magic, prestige, and adventure than he can handle as he gets swept up in realm-shaking conspiracies and desperate fights for his life. Maybe a boring life wasn’t so bad after all. Disclaimers: 1) Names were mostly chosen through random generators and aren’t necessarily final. If they seem derivative or boring, blame RNG. 2) Skills, Classes, levels, and the entire system is currently a work in progress; please be kind if it’s not very well fleshed out yet. 3) This is the first full-length novel I've set out to write without a single plot point ready. I had nothing in mind other than a recent visit to a hot shop. Molten glass is pretty awesome. 4) Related, I know much less about glass than I’d like. I did some research, but mistakes are bound to happen. If you have a correction, thanks! Please be polite about it. 5) The prose is my experimental attempt at first-person, present tense. I realize it may not be everyone’s preference, but I hope you’ll give it a try anyway!
