《Line without a hook || Darlentina》Chapter 13
Advertisement
The last three days na meron si Narda ay naisip nyang ispend with Regina.
Pag-uwi nya sa condo ay nakita nya ito na nagce-cellphone. Napangiti sya at dahan dahang pumasok.
"Regina, may dala ako para sayo!" Masayang sabi nya.
Regina's face lit up and smiled. "What is it?"
"Takoyaki and Milktea!"
Napangiti naman si Narda nang makita ang malawak na ngiti ni Regina.
"One of my favorite!" Masayang masaya na sabi ni Regina. "You're the best talaga."
Tumawa nalang si Narda dito at humiga sa kama. "Hay! Kapagod."
"Pagod sa pagpaparty?"
"Party?" Takang tanong ni Narda.
"Yeah, I thought nagparty kayo ni Leslie? Bumili ka pa nga ng beers. I think it's 7 beers." Sabi ni Regina habang kumakain.
"Ah yeah, uminom lang kami at medyo nagsaya."
"Masaya ka naman?"
Kumunot naman ang noo ni Narda. "Oo naman, nagsaya lang kami kahapon."
"That's good." Tanging nasabi ni Regina at uminom ng milktea. "By the way, are you free later?"
"Yes, why?"
"Maybe we can gala na with your bike." Nakangiting sabi ni Regina.
"Hindi ba kayo magdedate ni Brian ngayon?"
"No, he said he's on duty." Seryosong sabi ni Regina.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, and if ever na tawagan nya ako, I will say that I will go with you muna. I know he will understand it because you're his bestfriend too." Paliwanag nito.
"Okay, anong oras tayo aalis?" Tanong ni Narda habang nakapikit, medyo masakit kasi ang ulo nito.
"Maybe hapon? Para hindi mahapdi sa skin yung init."
"Sige, tulog muna ako."
"Why? Is your head aching?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Regina.
"Medyo."
"Hangover yan. Siguro madami kang nainom kagabi?" Tumabi si Regina kay Narda sa kama at patuloy na iniinom ang milktea nya.
Pagbukas ng mga mata ni Narda ay nagtagpo ang kanilang mga mata. Kitang kita ni Regina kung paano nagningning ang mga mata nito, at nakakita sya bigla ng pain.
"Are you okay?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Yes, why?" Sagot ni Narda at iniwas ang kanyang mga tingin.
"Are you sure? You can tell me, it's okay."

Ngumiti naman si Narda. "No, I am fine don't worry. Hangover lang siguro."
Regina looked at her worriedly. "We can gala naman next time, Narda. Just tell me if you're not feeling well."
"No, it's fine. Tuloy tayo mamaya okay? Wag kang mag-alala, itutulog ko lang to."
"Okay, sabi mo eh."
Ngumiti naman si Narda at ipinikit na ang kanyang mga mata. Ipinatong nya ang ulo nya sa lap ni Regina at niyakap ito.
"Wait." Inalis ni Regina ang ulo nya at ipinatong ito sa braso nya for short they are cuddling.
Regina and Narda knows how they miss doing this. Naging busy na kasi sila lately and hindi na nila nagagawang magcuddle ulit.
Ala-una na ng hapon nang magising silang dalawa. Nakatulog din kasi si Regina habang nagcecellphone.
"Are you hungry?" Tanong ni Regina.
"Medyo." Sagot ni Narda at medyo husky pa ang boses nito.
"I will fix myself muna and then kain tayo sa labas." Sabi naman ni Regina.
Tumango nalang si Narda at nagcellphone. Paglabas ni Regina ng cr ay naaayos na ito, simple lang naman ang suot nya. She's wearing white croptop, baggy jeans, white shoes and a sun glasses.
Feeling naman ni Narda ay nagslowmo ang paligid. "You look so good, Regina."
"Thank you, Narda! Now, your turn." Sabi ni Regina at kinindatan ito.
Namula naman ang mga pisngi ni Narda at dali daling naligo.
Nagsuot naman si Narda white cargo pants at oversized t-shirt na black.
"Pogi!" Nakangiting sabi ni Regina at sinuot na ang bag nya.
"Always pogi syempre." Narda said while smirking.
"Tama ka na."
Tumawa nalang si Narda at inangkas na si Regina. Yumakap naman si Regina sa kanya at kinakabahan sya dahil baka biglang mapunta sa dibdib nya ang kamay nito at mapansin na mabilis ang tibok ng kanyang puso.
"Ang lakas ng hangin, my sunglasses is holding for its dear life." Natatawang sabi ni Regina.
"Kumapit lang kamo sya dahil medyo mainit ngayon, binibilisan ko na nga pagpapatakbo." Nakangiting sabi ni Narda. "Mcdo nalang tayo."
"Sige go, anywhere, basta makakainan."
Tumango nalang si Narda at mabilis na nagpark.

"Ila-lock ko lang ang bike ko, mauna ka na at mainit." Sabi ni Narda.
"Okay."
Pagdating ni Narda ay agad syang tinanong ni Regina.
"I want rice." Narda said while pouting. "I want rice with spicy chicken, coffee and fries."
"Okay, asan yung pambayad?" Pagbibiro ni Regina.
"Hala, akala ko treat mo?"
"Joke! Go and find us a seat." Sabi ni Regina at umorder na.
Pagkalipas ng ilang minuto ay tinawag sya ni Regina para magpatulong.
"Wow! Ang bango, gusto ko na kumain." Masayang sabi ni Narda.
Pagdating nila sa table nila ay agad na nagalcohol si Narda at akmang kukuha na sana nang bigla syang tignan ni Regina ng seryoso.
"B-bakit?" Tanong ni Narda.
"Wait lang, magpipicture pa eh." Natatawang sabi ni Regina.
"Jusko naman." Sabi naman nya, pero bigla nyang naalala na malapit na dalawang araw nalang at malapit na syang umalis. "Sige na nga."
Nagselfie sila at pasimple narin kinuhanan ni Narda si Regina habang kumakain.
"Alright! Gutom na gutom na ako grabe." Sabi ni Narda.
"Eat."
Kumain na sila at pagkatapos ay nagikot lang sila. Ang balak kasi ni Narda ay magsha-shopping sila sa sabado dahil yun na ang last day na magkakasama sila ni Regina. Bibilhan nya ito ng mga gusto nya para naman matuwa si Regina bago sya umalis.
At magcoconfess pa sya sa gabi. Yun ang isa sa mga nagpapakaba sa kanya.
"Ang sarap ng hangin!" Sabi ni Regina.
"Anong lasa?"
"Jollibee." Sagot ni Regina at napatawa si Narda.
"Loko! Mcdo kinain natin tapos nalalasahan mo Jollibee?"
"Oo nga noh?" Natatawang sabi ni Regina.
Natapos na silang maglibot at nakauwi na sila ngayon sa condo. Hapon lang nang makauwi sila.
"Narda, pupunta si Brian." Masayang sabi ni Regina.
"Ah okay."
Agad na tumayo si Regina para magluto, habang si Narda ay nakahiga sa kama.
Naghahanda na ng plato si Regina nang marinig nilang nagring na ang doorbell.
"Ako na." Sabi naman ni Regina, tumango naman si Narda at sya na ang nagpatuloy sa paghahanda ng plato, kutsara at tinidor sa lamesa.
"Hii!!" Sigaw ni Regina at agad na niyakap si Brian.
"Kain muna kayo." Sabi ni Narda na may pilit na ngiti.
Agad na pumunta ang dalawa sa lamesa at kumain na.
"Wow! Ang sarap naman nito." Sabi ni Brian.
"Syempre, luto ko yan eh." Sabi naman ni Regina. "Narda, hindi ka pa kakain?"
"Kakain na." Sagot nito. Agad syang pumunta sa lamesa at kumuha ng kanin ag ulam, pero doon sya sa sofa kumain habang nanonood ng msa.
Sumapit ang gabi at nakatulog na si Regina sa sobrang pagod.
"Narda." Tawag ni Brian kay Narda. "Pre namiss kita."
"Namiss rin kita pre." Sabi ni Narda at umupo sa tabi ni Brian. Nasa sofa kasi ito. "Musta ka na?"
"Okay lang, ikaw ba?"
"Okay lang din, may sasabihin pala ako. Pero wag mo sanang sabihin kay Regina."
"Sige, ano ba yun?"
Bumuntong hininga si Narda. "Mag-iibang bansa ako, sa linggo na ang alis ko. Kung pwede sana eh dito muna kayo ni Regina magstay."
"Sige ba. Noted yan, ilang taon ka naman magstay dun?"
"Mga ilang taon rin, hindi pa ako sure. Pero baka higit dalawang taon."
"Ingat ka, Narda. Alam mo naman na medyo delikado sa ibang bansa lalo na't hindi ka pa sanay dun." Seryosong sabi ni Brian.
"Oo naman, kailangan kong makabalik dito ng buhay dahil wala nang pogi pag namatay ako." Nakasmirk na sabi ni Narda.
"Nako, baka nga pagdating mo dun pagkaguluhan ka ng mga tao dun."
"Totoo yan, wala eh, ako lang to. Hays, people nowadays." Umiiling na sabi ni Narda.
"Grabe ka na, tulog na nga ako. Lakad tabihan mo na si Regina dun." Sabi ni Brian.
"Dito na ako sa sofa, lakad tabihan mo na pre."
"Hindi—"
"Lakad na, Brian. Tabihan mo na dun." Sabi naman ni Narda, wala nang nagawa si Brian kundi tumabi nalang.
Ilang araw nalang at wala nang manggugulo sayo, Regina. Konting tiis nalang din para sa sakit na nararamdaman ko.

Delve
Summary – Level 1: Delve is an isekai litrpg that follows an average guy who just happened to wake up in a forest one day. He wasn’t summoned to defeat the demon lord or to save the world or anything like that, at least as far as he can tell. The only creature there to greet him was a regular old squirrel. Soon enough, he meets other people, only to discover that he can’t speak the language, and that not everybody immediately trusts random pajama-wearing strangers they met in the middle of the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It’s about avoiding death, figuring out what the heck is going on, and trying to make some friends along the way. It’s not about getting home, so much as finding a new one. Did I mention that there will be math? Summary – Level 2: Okay, but what are you in for, really? Well, this story is supposed to be realistic, or at least, as realistic as a fantasy litrpg can be. The main character doesn’t instantly become an all-powerful god and murder-hobo his way across the universe. Delve is, at its heart, a progression fantasy, but that progression is meant to feel earned. The numbers in this story actually mean something. Everything is calculated, and if you find a rounding error, I expect you to tell me about it. That said, if math isn’t your cup of tea, there is plenty more that the story has to offer. Characters are meant to feel real, and progression isn’t only about personal power; it’s also about allies, connections, and above all, knowledge. Figuring out how the system works is a significant theme. ... What, you want more details? Okay, fine, but this is going to get a bit spoiler-y. Are you sure? Yes! Really sure? I mean, this summary is practically half as long as the first chap– Now! Okay, okay! The main character becomes a magic user, but he takes a route that is not very popular in adventurer culture, namely that of a support. There is a full magic system with various spells, skills, and abilities, but our MC decides that aura magic is the way to go, and that the only stat worth investing in is mana regeneration. Most people at the Adventurer’s Guild think that this makes him a bit of a dumbass, but he’s playing the long game. We’ll see how that works out for him, won’t we? Because of his build, the MC levels up fast, at least compared to normal people. There are no cheats, though, and he is limited in other ways. There are some clear and pretty obvious downsides to his build. That’s what makes it fun, no? Morals? Our MC has them. Again, we’ll see how that works out for him. Realism, remember? Would you be okay with killing someone and looting their body? I sure hope not. POV? The focus is on the main character, but there will be occasional varying perspectives from people around him, or involved in the events related to the main plot. It isn’t going to jump all over the place. Tech is standard medieval stasis. No smartphones, but the MC does have a technical background. Computers and their programming might be involved. There might even be a bit of uplifting down the road, who knows? Anyway, it isn’t the focus. He isn’t going to invent the gun in chapter 1 and change the face of warfare. Romance is not a major focus. Friendships are more the name of the game, though there will be some characters in romantic relationships. There is exploration, though not as much of the geographical nature as you might expect. It is more about exploration of the system and the culture. The pace is slow and detailed, sometimes verging on slice-of-life. The action is meant to be realistic and grounded in the numbers, and it is intended to have meaning beyond simply punching things until they stop moving. The general tone of the story is grey, and some parts can get quite dark. People die. Sometimes, people with names, but not anywhere near GoT level. There is plenty of light, too, though, to balance the darkness. The world is dangerous, but overcoming that danger is why we’re all here, isn’t it? Anyway, if you’ve made it this far through the summary, you clearly like words. I hope you enjoy the story! Cover by Miha Brumec Summary Updated: 2020-06-14

The Wild Touch
The world of Delmathar has many conflicts and plots that span over the whole world and even into the war torn oceans. That’s not even taking into account that the world is a candidate in the Realm wars… but that’s a story for another day. Instead we will follow the story of how a goddess’s botched attempt of using a weak earth soul to make powerful Grafter for her mother, ends up empowering an unsuspecting little boy. The boy who is called Nosal Brownwhisker, who happens to be a peaceful little buttonless-shirt loving little Capyban. And as the Brownwhisker family tries to juggle their everyday lives on their monster ranch and hiding little Nosal’s secret, more and more developments keep popping up in the village of Pancreedy that makes life more.. interesting. Author’s notes:This is my first fiction and I understand it will suck. Hopefully you will find it to be enjoyable enough to hang around. There’s not going to be any epic world-ending fights or any stuff like that, just some shenanigans generally with the story progressing very slowly as it changes from many viewpoints. The world of Delmathar may seem funky for now so I will promise a glossary every 15 chapters. The wild touch will be updated at least twice a week, with me having no backlog of chapters. So if I get mobbed at work or get sick I will let you know in my notes on a short chapter. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for the people who support me, give me encouragement and pointers.
