Iminulat ni Regina ang kanyang mga mata at naramdaman nya ang makinis na balat ni Narda. Paggalaw nya nito ay may naramdaman syang mga nakaumbok, kaya naman napatingin sya rito.
"Omygosh." Mahinang sabi nya nang makita ang abs ni Narda.
Nakabra lang kase ito at nakakumot naman ang tyan dahil baka pasukan ito ng lamig.
Kinuha ni Regina ang cellphone nya at dali daling pinicturan ang abs nito. Dinamihan nya rin ang picture at pagkatapos nya ay agad naman nagsalita si Narda.
"Done?" Nakasmirk na sabi nito at nagulat naman si Regina.
"I-i'm just looking for signal."
"No need to lie, nakita ko na bago pa mag unang pindot hanggang sa naging anim."
Ngumiti naman si Regina habang ang kanyang pisngi ay namumula. "You have abs pala, you didn't tell me."
"At ano naman ang mangyayari kapag sinabi ko?"
"I won't be hungry."
Kumunot naman ang noo ni Narda. "Ano?"
"I won't be hungry kase you have pandesal." Sabi naman ni Regina habang naka-awkward smile.
"Ahh." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda. Hindi pala magugutom ha.
"U-uh, so, are they awake?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Hindi ko alam, kakagising ko lang." Sagot naman ni Narda at bumangon na. "Tignan kolang sila."
Pagtingin ni Narda ay gising na si Florence, kaya naman binuhat nya ito at hinalik-halikan ang tyan nito.
Tumawa naman si Florence at dinala na ito kay Regina, kaso, nang makuha na ni Regina si Florence ay narinig ni Narda na tinawag sya ni Maxine.
"Dada." Tawag nito Maxine dito na para bang paiyak na.
Ngumiti naman si Narda nang makita niya si Maxine, at ngumiti rin naman si Maxine habang ineextend na ang kamay nya para magpabuhat kay Narda.
"Talaga naman." Umiiling na sabi ni Narda nang ipatong agad ni Maxine ang ulo nya sa dibdib ni Narda. "Miss na agad ako ng baby."
"Dada." Tanging nasabi ni Maxine.
"Yes po, dada." Malambing na sabi ni Narda.
Pagbalik nila sa kama ay naglalaro na sina Regina at Florence.

"Mimi!" Masayang tawag ni Maxine kay Regina.
"Baby!" Pagbabati ni Regina dito.
"Bibi!" Masayang paggaya ni Florence kay Regina.
Pumalakpak naman si Maxine habang tumatawa. "Bibi!"
Napangiti nalang ang dalawa at naisipan ni Narda na ipost ang video ng kambal.
"Regina, pinost ko video nila." Sabi naman ni Narda habang nakangiti.
"Okay, go lang."
After one minute ay marami agad ang naglike sa post ni Narda.
"Huy grabe! One minute just passed and you already have 1k likes. Iba talaga ikaw, Bae." Nakangiting sabi ni Regina.
Namula naman ang pisngi ni Narda dahil sa tinawag ni Regina sa kanya. "May lakad pala ako mamaya, Regina."
"Okay, what time?"
"Mga 4, kaya baka late ako makauwi." Sabi ni Narda. "Baka umiyak si Maxine."
"Don't worry, she won't cry."
"Pano pag oo?" Tanong ni Narda.
Tumaas naman ang isang kilay ni Regina. "What if no?"
"Basta, bahala na mamaya kung ano man ang mangyari. Aagahan ko nalang para makapagpaalam pako kay Maxine at Florence."
"Okay. It's up to you, you're the one who will pasok naman eh." Sabi naman ni Regina.
"Pachok?" Tanong ni Florence.
Ngumiti naman ang dalawa.
"Yes po, dada will pachok." Sabi naman ni Narda at hinalikan ang noo ni Florence at Maxine.
"What about the mommy?" Nakapout na tanong ni Regina.
Hinalikan ni Narda ang noo ni Regina at ang tip ng ilong nito. Napangiti naman si Regina at niyakap ito.
"Ehh!!" Pilit na tulak ni Florence nang maipit sya sa gitna nila Regina at Narda.
Napatawa nalang si Narda. "Sorry baby."
"Bibi." Panggagaya naman ni Maxine habang nakahiga at kinakalikot ang mga daliri nito.
"Mga bisaya pala yang anak mo." Tumatawang sabi ni Narda.
Regina chuckled. "True, but they are so cute. I want them to learn tagalog more, ayaw ko silang itulad sa akin. Super conyo."
"That's good, maganda kapag marunong silang magtagalog and english din."
"I want them to speak in tagalog hindi yung katulad sakin. When I speak kase it's more on English diba? But I am trying to speak in tagalog naman." Sabi ni Regina.

"Kausapin natin sila in tagalog." Narda said while smiling.
"But I only know few."
"Okay lang, andito naman ako para turuan ka."
Regina smiled at Narda. "Thank you, Narda. For everything."
"No problem, don't worry."
Alas tres ng hapon nang mapagpasyahan nilang umalis na. Pinatawag nalang ni Narda ang driver nya para ihatid sya.
"Byebye, Max. Byebye Florence." Malambing na pagpapaalam nya at hinalikan sa noo ang dalawang bata.
Niyakap naman nya si Regina. "Bye, Regina. Please take care ha? Tawagan mo lang ako kapag may kailangan kayo or may nangyari sa inyo."
Tumango naman si Regina at ngumiti kay Narda. "I will."
Nagwave nalang si Narda at tuluyan nang lumabas ng condo. Paglabas nya ay andun na ang van na sasakyan nya.
Kumatok sya sa pintuan at narinig nyang may sumigaw ng, "Wait lang!!"
Napatawa naman sya at naisipang magvideo dahil miss na miss na nya talaga ang taong ito.
Pagbukas ng pinto ay vinideohan ni Narda ang nasa pinto na gulat na gulat.
"Hi Leslie, ako to, ang Gusion mo." Pagkasabi na pagkasabi ni Narda at niyakap agad sya ni Leslie.
"Narda!! I miss you so much, hindi ka manlang nagsabi na dadating ka." Irit na Leslie.
Tumawa naman si Narda. "Nasurprise ka ba?"
"Oo naman." Naluluhang sabi ni Leslie.
"Hala huy! Bakit ka umiiyak? Bakla ka." Tanong ni Narda nang makita nya ang luha sa mga mata ni Leslie.
"Namiss kita eh, alam mo bang last na kita natin eh nung nag-inom tayo ng beer."
"Yes, and that was 3 years ago." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda habang pinupunasan ang luha ni Leslie.
"Halika nga muna sa loob at magsakalan tayo. Nanggigigil ako sayo, di ka nagsabi ang gulo tuloy ng bahay." Inis na sabi ni Leslie.
"Hindi naman mahalaga kung magulo ang bahay mo, ang mas mahalaga, nagkita tayo ulit bakla."
Ngumiti naman si Leslie. "Bakla ka! Ano kamusta ka ha?"
"Eto, 3 days date with Regina tapos pagkatapos ng 3 days kapag may nararamdaman na sya sakin, hahayaan nya na akong manligaw." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda.
"Ha? Akala ko nakamove on kana bakla ka."
"Wala eh, bumalik yung feelings ko sa kanya nung bumalik ako sa condo."
Tumango naman si Leslie. "Basta, if ever na hindi magwork yung 3 days date nyo, andito lang ang mga balikat ko para iyakan mo."
"Salamat, Leslie. Anyways, ano may jowabels kana ba accling?"
Bigla namang kinilig si Leslie. "Wala pa teh, pero may crush ako. Jusmeyo ang pogi na ang ganda punyeta kinikilig ako."
"Hoy baliw, ano ba, sino bayan. Tingin nga." Curious na sabi ni Narda.
Nang ipakita ni Leslie kay Narda ay nagthumbs up naman si Narda.
"Ayos, she's beautiful and handsome like me."
"Narda, wait lang naman, nakaaircon na tayo ang hangin bigla oh." Sabi ni Leslie na ikinatawa ng dalawa.
Paguwi ni Narda ay may dala dala syang diaper, gatas, donut, takoyaki at milktea.
Pagdating nya sa pinto ay naririnig nya ang ingay ng mag-iina. Nagdoorbell sya at agad naman syang pinagbuksan ni Regina.
"Hi!" Masayang bati nya at ngumiti rin si Regina.
"Narda, let me help you with that."
Nakita nya naman ang tumatakbong si Maxine habang umiirit. "Dada!"
Niyakap nito ang tuhod ni Narda kaya naman agad na binuhat ni Narda si Maxine.
Nang makita sya ni Florence ay tumakbo rin ito sa kanya, kinuha nito ang diaper na hawak ni Narda sa isa nyang kamay kaya tumakbo itong natawa.
Hinabol naman sya ni Regina at ang bata ay tuwang tuwa. Nang mahuli sya ni Regina ay tinadtad nya ito ng halik na ikinatawa ni Florence ng malakas.
While Narda is watching them, she's smiling so wide.

Embers in the Ash
Four ordinary young people from four corners of the Earth wake up on a hill in another world. Here, their very presence is a crime against the Gods. On the fringes of civilization, life is often brief and always violent, but in the Empire's Heartland, implacable hunters seek to rectify their blasphemous existence with Blade and Fire. To return home, they will need to adapt to a place where their life will be earned in steel. But what will they be ready to sacrifice for their goal? Will their flame flicker out like so many others before them? Or will they thrive as Embers in the Ash? Hello, and welcome to my first fiction on this site! Embers in the Ash is an epic fantasy adventure story that aims to span quite a few chapters (I hope!). To set expectations, this isn't going to be a LitRPG or power fantasy-style story. I'm aiming for a fairly grounded story set in a fairly high-fantasy world. I hope you enjoy it! For this first month of publication, my aim is to give you, the reader, something to really bite into. I will be releasing a chapter every day at 9:15 AM EST (13:15 GMT), as well as the occasional double chapter (which will always be announced by a post-chapter author blurb). Check in fifteen minutes after the first chapter's release! After this first month of publication, the aim is to go for either a weekly or bi-weekly release schedule, depending on the sort of time I can reliably dedicate to writing. Either way, settle in for the long haul, and welcome to the story!

Blind Wastelands
[Royal Writathon April 2022 winner] (Support me on Patreon ) They say it was a war that blocked out the sun. They say it was poison bombs that reduced the land to rubble. The blind wastelands were what it was called now. Where there were once sprawling cities, farmlands, and crops that grew in the sun, sparkling waters that shone like diamonds, there was now darkness; a cloying, viscous darkness that filled men’s hearts with dread and sunk their bellies like stone. What remained of humanity scattered away from the darkness as much as they could, banding together in settlements lit with gas lamps and bonfires. A young man named Yunkef leaves his home at Settlement 41 to join a Scavenger team to bring back much-needed resources for his Settlement but finds there are much worse things in the darkness than just the beasts. He meets Lady Black.
