《THE CONGRESSMAN ┇ SANDRO MARCOS》19
Advertisement
ARABELLA's POV:
bati ko sa kanya.
naluha ako habang pinagmamasdan ang unti-unti kong namamayat na anak.
Bigla kong naalala ang huling araw kung saan umuwi siyang basang basa ng ulan at umalis ng bahay dala an kanyang mga gamit, dalawang taong nawalay sa aking tabi at nang makabalik siya ay 2 gabi lamang nakapiling.
Naaawa ako sa sinapit ng anak ko, pero ano pa nga bang magagawa ko? Diyos nalang ang nakakaalam ng susunod na mangyayari.
Ipinikit ko ang aking mga mata para manalangin nang biglang tumunog ang machine na para bang may masamang nangyayari. Agad na pumasok ang mga nurse at doctor tsaka nila ako inilabas ng kwarto ni Naomi.
tanong sa akin ni Sandro.
Galit ako, galit ako sa kanya dahi sa ginawa niya sa anak ko pero alam kong hindi magugustuhan ng anak ko kapag nalaman niyang nagalit ako sa taong mahal at pinapahalagahan niya.
nanghina ako at akmang tutumba nang isang lalaki ang sumalo sa akin sa likod ko.
wika ni Sandro.
Agad nila akong inalalayan na makaupo sa waiting area habang inaantabayanan ang paglabas ng doctor ni Naomi.
Ilang sandali pa ay lumabas na sila, akmang tatayo ako nang pigilan ako ni Simon dahil baka matumba pa daw ako sa sasabihin ng doctor.
ngiti nito.
Lumapit si Sandro at Vincent sa doctor na nagsasalita at ipinapaliwanag ang kalagayn ng anak ko.
Hindi ko marinig ang sinabi niya pero malinaw sa akin ang huling katagang iniwan nito.
sambit nito na ikinawala n lakas ko.
Bigla akong nanghina, biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. Ayoko. Hindi. Hindi ako handa. Ayokong mawala ang anak ko. Ayokon mawala si Naomi.
sigaw ko.
Agad na lumapit sa akin sina Sandro at Vincent na pinapakalma ako.
sigaw ko.
pagpapagaang ni Vincent sa nararamdaman ko.
si Simon.
Hindi umiimik si Sandro at nakatingin lang ito sa pintuan ng kwarto ni Naomi habang hinihimas ang likod ko. Maya-maya pa nang kumalma na ako ay dumating na si Sir BBM at Atty. Liza.

bati nito sa akin
Tumango ako at tipid na ngumiti, ngiting mapait at ngiting may halo ng kalungkutan. Ayokong mawala ang anak ko at ganon din sila. Ayaw nilang mawa si Naomi.
tanong ni Sir BBM sa akin.
Magsasalita na sana ako nang sumingit si Simon.
pinutol ni Simon ang sasabihin ko sa paraan ng pagsingit at pagiba ng usapan.
ngiti ni Simon dito.
ngiti nito
boses ng lalaki ang narinig namin at pamilyar ito sa akin.
Nakita ko ang asawa ko sa hindi kalayuan habang umiiyak. Mabilis itong naglakad papalapit sa akin at niyakap ako.
tanong nito nang umiiyak.
tanong ko habang pinipigilan ang luhang nangingilid sa mata ko.
si Alfred
Pumasok ito sa kwarto ni Naomi at tinignan ang anak namin, lumabas ito nang umiiyak bago ako niyakap.
Ilang sandali pa...
Pumunta ang doctor papalapit sa amin at ang mga kanyang sinabi ang nagpatigil sa mundo ng aming anim.

Four story anthology
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] [participant in #NaNoWriMo] Preface: This fiction will contain four different stories set up as a challenge for myself and to get better at writing. The challenge for royal road writathon is a 55.555 word goal while the nanowrimo challenge is 50.000 words. Reader suggestions is turned on, feel free to point out errors I missed and I'll fix them up! Chasing sun, napping softly: Cultivation/Xianxia genre. Some parts will poke at the ridiculousness of the Xianxia gerne. We follow the life of a magical fox monster, who doesn't like how the cultivation world works. Said beast seems to have more knowledge than is usual for normal magical beasts. In it's infinite wisdom it decided to search for the main character of the cultivation world to have a cozy and safe place beside him. Our fox will act as a "wise beast" to coast along on the main characters rise to greatness, all for peace, happiness and that amazing napping spot in the sun. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing in first person. Comedic effect between talking vaguely and sounding wise. The cost of heroism: A story more centered around fights and mental health of hired mercenaries/heroes. The world is infected with an eldritch corruption. Humans are trying their best to explore and clear out wilderness and the dungeons hiding in them to establish new cities. Lords seek for hired hands to do the professional work. Thanks to the setting, the story will show how awful pasts are the norm and how pragmatic people became thanks to that. People exchange their sanity for riches, fame and gods acceptance. Interpersonal relationships change drastically and quickly. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing grim scenes/imparting a feeling of how grim the world is. Writing fight scenes. Showing different mental states. Describing their influence on people during fights, walks or even after successful or failed campaigns. Who will be the next powerhouse? : A story about a gaming show, it's host Staan and the different participants. Stereotype characters, stereotype backstories, silly challenges and quizzes. The winner of those challenges gets powerups for their power system. Be it magic, ki, psychic power or anything else imaginable and unimaginable to reach the power of gods. The challenges for myself with this story: A softer tone for storytelling. Making the reader smile and enjoy themselves. A different try at slice of life story. I was left behind on earth as my family conquered another world and enjoys riches, but that's okey because I got a cheat too! : Stereotypical Isekai story parody twisted into an Urban Fantasy story. The challenges for myself with this story: Writing over the top and overdramatic scenarios/scenes Writing in first person. Walking into stereotypical scenarios and making them more dramatic/giving them a twist. Different type of humor.
