《Darlentina | Darna x Valentina》Chapter 8
Advertisement
Habang walang nagbabantay Kay Brian si Narda na muna ang naiwan sa kwarto nito. Hindi na nga nito namalayan na nakatulog na sya.
Brian woke up and noticed that Narda was sleeping next to her bed.
Nakangiti nya itong pinagmasdan.
"Uhm!" he clears his throat. But she seems deeply sleeping —he tapped her arms lightly to wake her up.
"Ano ba yan, akala ko ba naman si Darna makikita ko ikaw lang pala." pabirong sabi nito. —Narda woke up.
"BRIAN!!" she happily hugged him without consent.
"A-ah—kung makayakap ka naman. Naligo ka na ba??"
Narda sat next to him.
"Okay ka na nga—nang aasar ka na ulit eh."
He smiled.
"Nga pala si lolo Ernie ko, dumaan sya pero umalis din agad kasi may pupuntahan daw sya." she said.
"Alam mo buti nga na andun sya para kahit pa papano may kakampi ako sa departmento."
"Dapat lang noh! Alam mo bang sobra kaming nag-aalala sayo... Akala nga namin eh matutuluyan ka na."
"Grabe naman." he laughed.
"Oo kaya! Hoy ikaw lagi mo akong sinasabihan na mag ingat tapos ikaw hindi ka nag iingat—pasaway ka eh!"
"Pulis ako, parte na yun ng buhay ko ang naka ambang panganib. Eh ikaw hindi ka naman pulis pero lagi kang nasa kapahamakan." natatawang sabi nito. Natawa naman si Narda.
"Alam mo pasaway ka! Kakagising mo lang ako nanaman nakita mo!" she laughed —suddenly her facial expression changes that paused him.
She became serious while looking at him. —suddenly she laughed. Nagtawanan nalang silang dalawa —she's playfully shaking his arms.
" OH oh—"
*Door opened.
Narda hurriedly stood up mula sa pagkakaupo pagkakita Kay Regina.
Regina was carrying a basket of fruits —she throw them both a confused—serious look.
"A-ahm Regina sakto kakagising lang ni Brian." Narda said after stepping back.
Regina just pursed a smile then put the basket at the desk next to his bed.
She look at Brian. "How are you feeling??"
"Ahm okay - okay na. Salamat sa pag bisita." he utter pursing a smile.
"Of course, andito lang kami palagi ni Narda."
"Uhm.. Si Alex pala?" Brian curiously asked.
Regina throw Narda a look.
"Si Alex? Patay na sya eh." she sadly utter.

*sigh "nakakalungkot lang. Kilala ko sya eh, alam kong ginawa nya lang yun dahil sa tatay nya. Gusto nya lang bigyan ng hustisya ang AMA nya pero nauwi sa paghihigante." he utter.
"Lahat naman ng ginagawa natin dahil sa pamilya natin eh, pero hindi naman yun dahilan para gumawa tayo ng masama. Hindi naman nila ginusto yun." Narda seriously said that affect Regina deep inside.
Nagpaalam na ako kay Brian kasi may trabaho pa ako, ganun din si Regina kaya sabay na kaming Lumabas ng kwarto.
Nauna syang lumabas tapos sumunod ako.
" Narda if pupunta ka na ng office sumabay ka na." sabi nya tapos tumalikod na.
Sinabayan ko naman sya.
"Maliligo na muna siguro ako, uwi muna ako para magpalit. Hindi pa kasi ako nakaka uwi eh."
Huminto sya sa paglakad tapos tinitigan ako. "What do you mean? Hindi ka umuwi kagabi?"
"Eh ako nagbantay Kay Brian eh."
*sighed. "Kaya pala hindi ka pa sumabay... Wala ka bang dalang damit?"
"Wala eh... Wag kang mag alala madali lang ako."
Tumango nalang sya tapos nag lakad ulit. Parang malalim ang iniisip nya kaya nanahimik nalang ako.
"What you were laughing at? Ang saya-saya nyo nga, not until I came in the room..." tanong nya bigla habang diretsyo ang tingin.
"Huh? Wala yun, nagkatuwaan lang kami. Nang-aasar nanaman kasi SI Brian." natatawang sabi ko.
"Hm..." sabay tango nya.
"O-okay ka lang??"
"I'm fine..." ngumiti lang sya ng kunti.
"Nagseselos ka ba??" diretsyonh tanong ko kaya natigilan sya.
"H-huh??"
"Regina mag kaibigan lang kami ni Brian,... K-kung nagseselos ka dahil sakin, wala namang dahilan. Eh... Pansin ko naman noon pa na may gusto ka sakanya."
"WHAT??" medyo tumaas yung tono ng boses nya. Tumawa sya saka tumingin sa malayo.
Hindi sya sumagot at natatawa lang sa sinabi ko.
"So nagkagusto ka nga?"
Tumingin sya sakin. "Can we not talk about him?.... Sige na Narda, mag palit ka muna. I'll be at my office.."sagot nya saka nagpa tuloy sa pag lakad.
"Ali Tara na?" tawag NI Regina KAY Ali na naghihintay sa labas.
"Narda ikaw hindi ka sasabay?" tanong nito.
"Ah hindi eh uuwi pa ako."
Tumango lang si Ali.

"Sige Narda ingat.—Ali c'mon." sabi nya bago pumasok ng sasakyan.
Umalis na sya at ni hindi manlang sinagot ang tanong ko.
_____
Bakit ba ako naguguluhan? Hyssst!
Paano kung may gusto talaga si Regina kay Brian?
Aaminin ko naman na... May gusto ako kay Brian, di ko lang alam kung gaano pero kinilig din naman ako sakanya.
*sighed
Pero nung dumating SI Regina naguguluhan na ako. SI Regina kasi kung ano-anong pinag-gagawa, kung ano-ano pinag sasabi... Eh sa sobrang close namin minsan—one time nakalimot ako...
Nung hinalikan nya ako dun ako nakaramdam ng kakaiba. Yung feeling na ni minsan hindi ko naman naramdaman Kay Brian...
Pero ganun lang talaga yun SI Regina, hanggat maaari ayukong makalimot na mag kaibigan kami. Ayuko syang mawala....
"Ayuko...."
"Edi wag, inaya nalang kumain eh." narinig kong sagot ni Ding.
Huh??
Natigilan ako saka ko napansin na nasa bahay na pala ako tapos kumakain na ng almusal sila lola.
"Okay ka lang apo?"
"Iniisip nanaman nyan si Kuya Brian—dire-diretsyo pag pasok ng pinto parang robot eh nakatulala pa. Check mo nga lola baka extra na yan si ate." sabi ni Ding.
"Baka gutom lang yan. Kumain ka na, bat ngayon ka lang?" tanong ni lola. "Si Brian, kumusta?"
Umupo naman ako sa silya.
"Ah eh okay na naman po. Kakagising lang actually, sakto nga pagdating ni Regina. Nagdala sya ng prutas para Kay Brian. "
" Nakakatuwa naman, kahit na nagtatrabaho para kay Mayor si Brian eh mag kaibigan parin sila ni Regina."
"Eh hindi naman po kasi ganung klaseng tao si Regina. Sa totoo nga ho sobra syang nag-aalala Kay Brian."
"Feeling ko ate may gusto yan Kay Kuya Brian." sabat ni Ding.
Talaga ba??
"Ayieeee selos si ate!"
Pssh!
"Tigil-tigilan mo ako Ding ha."
"Asuss.... Aminin mo na." sabi nya kaya tinitigan ko sya ng masama.
"Psst! Ding tigilan mo na ate mo—hindi na natutuwa oh."
"Sorry naaa... Joke lang eh. —oh eto, ketchup ate baka eto gusto mo." sabi ni Ding sabay abot sakin ng bote ng ketchup.
Inabot ko naman —Kaso narealize ko naman na sinigang na isda yung ulam namin.
Eto talaga si Ding pinagloloko ako.
I was browsing my phone when I saw myself on the newsfeed and this issue is circulating online right now. The result of what Mayor Vallesteros has done and people are attacking me.
Mga tao nga naman...
"Ano nalang sasabihin ni dad because of this issue..." I utter after turning my phone off.
After several minutes I received a text message. Nung binuksan ko it was from dad.
"Dad sent a blank message... Ano wala syang sasabihin??" I faced him.
"That is worst than what I expected." I added then sat on my table grabbing my glass of wine.
Ngayon palang stress na stress na ako... I can imagine what my dad was thinking right now.
*sighed
I sip my wine.
"Lilipas din ang issue mo Regina, wag mo ng masyadong isipin." he said.
"Ali I don't care about my issue, iniisip ko lang yung sasabihin ni Dad. You know how I hate to dissapoint him..."
*sighed
"Pero... At some point Ali i realized whatever this people are saying it doesn't matter. As long as someone is believing in me...Wala akong pakealam sa sasabihin ng iba, si dad lang talaga. " I added while staring at my glass.
"S-si... Narda?. "he said that make me look at him.
"Si Narda??—Ali she's so genuine and sincere.I never found someone as good as her.Kapag down na down ako sya yung hahawak sa mga kamay ko. You know what....Although I'm not a fond of people with superpowers I think si Narda is an exception to all, because she's my hero. "
" S-si... Narda?. "I asked. And when I mentioned that name she automatically smiled.
"Si Narda??—Ali she's so genuine and sincere.I never found someone as good as her.Kapag down na down ako sya yung hahawak sa mga kamay ko."
"You know what....Although I'm not a fond of people with superpowers I think si Narda is an exception to all, because she's my hero. "she finished her words na hindi manlang nabura ang ngiti sa mga mata at labi nya.
Hindi ko lang alam kung napapansin ba nya....

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
