Narda Custodio is a smart talented woman working in Emergency Medical Team or known as EMT, hindi nya natapos ang kolehiyo dahil sya nalamang ang inaasahan ng kayang kapatid matapos mamatay ang kayang ina sa isang pangyayare na hanggang ngayon ay hindi nya mataggap.

She seems like an ordinary girl but she keeps a secret that not everybody was ready about. Sya lang naman ang nagmamay-ari ng bato, at sya na ngayon si Darna o mas kilala ng lahat na babaeng lumilipad. Ang tagapagtanggol ng bayan at ang inaasahang magliligtas sa sanlibutan.

Hindi pa man sya handa sa kayang responsibilidad ay unti-unti na nya itong tinatanggap.

Not until one night on her way home an accident happened and what her eyes witnessed creep her out. She felt horror when she saw that eyes, the eyes of a woman with a hair that looks like snakes.

She thought she's looking right into a devils eyes...

Matapos ang gabing iyon tila bangungot ito Kay Narda. Sa tuwing naaalala nya ang babaeng ahas ay nanginginig sya sa takot.

Nakaupo lamang sya sa kanyang upuan na tila malalim ang iniisip. She suddenly felt something touched her shoulder that made her flinched thinking it was the creepy woman —but what she saw was an endearing eyes that made her feel at ease.

"Relax, it's just me. Are you okay?" Regina, her boss asked in concern. She noticed somethings bothering Narda since it's very visible in her eyes.

"Is it about what happened last night? I know how traumatizing it was for you. Why don't you take a leave first?" Regina added after sitting in front of Narda's table.

"Ma'am okay lang po ako. W-wag na po kayong mag-alala."

*furrowed. "Are you sure?"

Narda suddenly becomes silent for a second.

"Kasi ma'am may aaminin po sana ako sainyo... Naalala ko parin po kasi yung babaeng ahas eh. Natatakot po kasi ako sa mga....mata nya. Eh—pero ma'am nung nakatingin na po ako sa mga mata nyo guminhawa na po yung pakiramdam ko. E-eh ang bait nyo po kasing tumingin eh. "she said while awkwardly smiling.

*smile" Ganito nalang, sa tuwing naaalala mo ang babaeng ahas. Just think of me. Isipin mo hindi ka nya magagalaw dahil andito ako —oh wait—*Pose*—pwedeng-pwede na akong superhero diba? " *giggles.

Narda stood up from her seat while they were both giggling without knowing the other employees were watching them—confused.

" Salamat maam Regina huh... "

" Ai don't call me ma'am. Magkaibigan tayo, call me Regina nalang. "she suggested.

" Si-sige po... Re-regina. "Narda hesitantly utter.

" Oh basta kapag naaalala mo ang babaeng ahas. Just look into my eyes. "*do puppy eyes.

They both giggles.

Chineck ko yung relo ko lunch time na pala hindi ko na napansin.

Inayos ko muna yung nga gamit sa table ko bago ako umalis. Sa labas nalang siguro ako kakain.

" Narda? " sabay lapit ng secretary ni maam Regina. "Tawag ka ni maam Regina sa office."

"Huh? —s-sige susunod nalang ako." sabi ko nalang saka sya umalis. Siguro may iuutos pa.

"Feeling close..." rinig ko sa kabilang table, hinayaan ko nalang at dumiretsyo sa office ni Regina.

Kumatok muna ako saka pumasok.

"Oh hi! I was waiting for you Narda." sabay tayo nya sa kinauupuan.

"B-bakit po ma'am? —ay este Regina?"

*smiled. "I heard hindi ka pa naglulunch so I ordered our foods. Hindi pa naman ako kumakain, sabay ka na sakin."

Nakita ko nga yung boxes ng foods sa isang table ng office nya. Kahit naman magkaibigan kami nakakahiya parin kasi boss ko parin sya.

"Ayaw mo ba?" tanong nya na may tunong lungkot.

Sige na nga...

"U-uhm salamat Regina. Pero hindi mo naman po kailangang gawin, eh nakakahiya parin." sabi ko sabay upo sa sofa habang piniprepare nya yung pagkain namin.

"I know but... I have to. I just wanted to console you, kanina kasi ramdam ko yung takot mo and I think what you need right now is company... and me." sabay tingin nya sakin. Bigla syang tumawa ng unti kaya kahit ako natawa narin sa biro nya. Di ko naman Inexpect na mapag biro pala sya.

"Here..." sabay abot nya ng Plato ng pagkain sakin. "Kuha ka nalang ng rice." she added saka naupo sa tabi ko.

Sumubo nalang din ako.

"Hmm... Alam mo Narda hindi talaga ako sanay na may kasabay kumain." sabi nya kaya natigilan ako sa nginunguya ko.

"T-talaga?"

"I usually eat alone, it's my first time na may kasabay kumain. Mas masaya pala...kaso baka masanay ako. " ramdam ko yung lungkot sa tono ng boses nya but she ended her words with a smile. Kaso napansin ko may kanin sa tabi ng labi nya kaya ibinaba ko muna yung Plato ko sa lamesa saka inalis yung kanin.

" Pwede ka namang masanay sakin." seryosong sabi ko habang inaalis yung kanin kaso napansin kong nakatitig sya sakin kaya umupo ako ng maayos. " So-sorry, may kanin kasi. "I awkwardly utter sabay harap sa Plato ko.

" N-no, thankyou... Uhm, nagulat lang ako siguro dahil hindi ako sanay. "sabay tawa nya.

This afternoon my mind started to space out, something is bothering me.

" Ma'am Regina, okay ka lang? Kanina ka pa tahimik. "Aly asked while he's driving.

Sighed*" Wala naman. I'm just tired I think. "I answered then look outside the window—a familiar figure caught my eyes. She's walking alone at the middle of the night.

" A-ally wait. Stop the car first. "I told him that he obeyed. I opened the door then step outside the car.

" Narda why are you walking alone? Wala ka bang masakyan? "

" Ah eh ma'am—I mean Regina. Kaya ko naman lakarin malapit lang din naman. "she answered.

" Kahit na. Narda this place isn't safe and what if makasalubong mo yung babaeng ahas? "I seriously said." Cmon ihahatid na kita pauwi. "

I waited for her to come and get inside the car saka ako sumakay. Ally started the engine and drives.

" Next time if wala kang masakyan just tell me. Okay? "I strictly said then faced her.

She just nodded but I saw her gulp. I take a deep breath calming my nerves.

Suddenly her phone vibrates. She checked it then type something.

" Sino yan? "I asked.

" Si Brian. Tinatanong nya kung naka uwi na ako."she replied while looking at her phone.

I wanna ask if boyfriend nya si Brian but nevermind.

" ATE!! "a teenage boy called saka lumapit.

" Ding! Si Ma'am Regina."narda introduced me.

" Hello po. "

I smiled.

" Ah ate ako na, dalhin ko na gamit mo sa loob."he insisted then take Narda's bag inside.

"Uhm Salamat sa pag hatid. "Narda faced me smiling.

" It's nothing basta next time wag ka ng maglalakad ng mag isa. "

" Huwag na po kayong mag-alala, next time sasabay nalang ho ako kay Brian. Nagagalit din kasi yun kapag nag lalakad akong mag isa. "she awkwardly laughed.

Brian...

" Okay. If you say so Narda. Sige, I have to go. "I utter then turn my feet around.

" Ingat Regina! "

I get inside my car. After closing the door I look outside the close window, Narda was waving.

" Ally let's go. "I coldy said then looked away.
