Makna Literal

Literal na delubyo o sakuna ang tingin ni Darlene Lopez kay Ashford Walker. Simula nang aksidente o sinadya man ni tadhana na makilala ni Darlene si Ashford ay hindi na naging normal ang takbo ng kaniyang buhay. Hindi na nga naging maganda ang naging pagkikita nila ay dumagdag pa ang isang pagkakamali na maghahatid sa kaniya para kagatin ang trabahong magpanggap bilang isang lalaki na lingid sa kaalaman ni Ashford—kapalit ang salaping sasagot sa lahat ng dinadamdam niya. Hindi lang isang lalaki, kung ‘di isang hamak na body guard slash alalay pa ni Ashford Walker na punung-puno ng kayabangan at kahanginan sa katawan. Magiging amo niya ang lalaking uutas ng kaniyang buhay. Ang lalaking titigan palang siya ay nanlalambot na siya. Ang lalaking kayang patigilin ang ikot ng kaniyang mundo at patidin ang kaniyang paghinga gamit lamang ang pamatay nitong mga galaw. Si Ashford na dinaig pa ang isang bagyo sa lakas ng dinadalang hangin sa katawan. Si Ashford, ang lalaking pinantayan ang isang lindol, na walang ginawa kung ‘di yanigin ang kaniyang buhay. Makakayanan kaya ni Darlene na bantayan ang lalaki sa kabila nang kaliwa’t kanan na gulong pinapasok nito? O ang dapat ba niyang bantayan at ingatan ay ang kaniyang puso na nagsisimula nang tumibok para dito?

Palagi siyang nagigising sa sahig, basang-basa sa pawis, hingal, at hubo't hubad. Sa nakalipas na buwan, ganito ang nangyayari. Ang hindi niya inaasahang malaman ay ang literal na lalaki sa panaginip niya ang siyang nagbibigay sa kanya ng pulang marka sa buong katawan. Ang problema ay ang lalaking ito ay misteryoso, at mas gugustuhin niyang magkaroon ng isang tunay na lalaki sa totoong buhay kaysa magpantasya sa isang lalaking walang mukha na laman ng kaniyang mga panaginip. ~~~ Si Jewel ay inaasahang maging isang mahinhin na tagapagmana ng Hasyenda Mangubat, ngunit siya ay nalulong sa mga erotikong nobela. Palihim niyang bibilhin ang mga librong iyon at itatago sa kanyang silid upang maitago ang kanyang bisyo sa kanyang mga magulang. Nag-aatubili siyang pumayag na pakasalan ang anak ng Alkalde, si Gideon Manasseh, sa pag-asang matitiis ni Gideon ang kanyang mga bisyo. Ngunit, sa kanyang pagtataka, ang kanyang bagong asawa ay mukhang mas mahigpit pa kaysa sa kanyang mga magulang. Hindi lamang ang kanyang mga bisyo ang kailangang itago sa bagong asawa, kundi pati na rin ang kanyang mga sekswal na bangungot. Dahil ang mga malaswang panaginip na iyon ay tila gumagapang palabas sa kanyang pantasya tungo sa totoong mundo... at ito ay mas nakakatakot pa kaysa sa inisyal niyang hinuha ukol dito.

PROSES REVISI. JANGAN DIBACA DULU. Di tengah riuhnya sorakan penonton, Keenan berdiri tegak, sorot matanya tetap fokus meski di sekelilingnya gemuruh tak henti-henti. ISF Basketball World Schools Championship, ajang ini adalah puncak dari segala kerja kerasnya. Bola di tangannya terasa begitu familiar, seolah bagian dari dirinya. Dengan lincah, ia menggiring, melewati setiap lawan yang mencoba menghalangi. Setiap langkahnya ringan, tapi penuh arti, membawa ingatan pada kerja keras yang tak terhitung. Saat ia mendekati garis tiga angka, seluruh dunia seakan menahan napas. Keenan melompat, bola melayang sempurna di udara, dan saat bola itu menembus jaring dengan mulus, sorak-sorai membahana. Tapi, di tengah semua itu, Keenan tetap tenang. Dia tidak mencari kemenangan demi sorak penonton. Ada sesuatu yang lebih berharga dari sekadar poin. Matanya menyapu kerumunan, mencari wajah yang selama ini selalu ada untuknya, meski tanpa suara. Dan di sana, di antara lautan orang, gadis itu. Gadis yang selalu ada, yang dengan diamnya telah menjadi kekuatan terbesar baginya. Keenan tersenyum kecil, hanya sekejap, lalu dalam hati dia berbisik, lembut tapi penuh makna, "Thanks a lot for always having my back. You have no idea how much your support means to me. This win is ours, not just mine." --- Urutan Baca: 1. About Me: Alshameyzea 2. About Keenan

⚠️ WARNING: THIS IS NOT A SYNOPSIS. IT’S A HINT SPOILER. ⚠️ This is the Story of FOUR HUGE MEN. (And let’s be clear—this is NOT a Reverse Harem.) These guys aren't heroes. They are roles played on four shattered women who didn't see them coming. FIRST UP: STEVE HAYES. The Gym Guy. He didn’t just meet Freya—he claimed her. Owned her. And her daughter? Yeah, they’re his now too. Honestly, you’re going to end up pitying Freya’s ex… because Steve is a literal beast. THINK STEVE IS INTENSE? MEET DIESEL. The Biker. Diesel usually hates shedding blood, he’s got rules. But when it comes to Daisy? Forget the rules. He won't even think twice before painting the pavement red for her. THEN THERE'S NICO. Seriously, Nico is… just come and meet him. He’s a Tattoo Artist, and Phina only went to his studio for one thing: to erase her loser ex’s name from her hand. Guess what Nico told her while he had that needle to her skin? “You can erase him from your hand, but what about your heart? You don't need a cover-up, Phina. You need a real man to make you forget he ever touched you.” She slapped him across the face for that. Hard. GUESS WHO IS SWEATING ON NICO’S BED NOW ASKING FOR IT HARDER? AND FINALLY… LUCA. I’m not even going to say much. Just. Meet. Him. 4 MEN. 4 SHATTERED WOMEN. THEY WERE ALL TEMPTED TO RUIN. COME MEET THEM ALL AND DROP WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT EACH! AS YOU ARE ABOUT TO OPEN EACH CHAPTER, TELL ME WHO YOU CAN’T WAIT TO MEET. (I already picked my dream guy, actually... let's see if you pick the same one.)

Post - Apocalyptic Horror | Action | Yuri Harem | 18+ | Rated R | Mature Content | Slow Pace It started with a kiss I don’t remember giving. A rooftop. A moan. Someone’s fingers buried in my hair like they belonged there. A mouth on my throat that said I tasted like something they lost in another life. I wasn’t dreaming. The city was already cracking beneath me. Power grids flickering like dying stars. Tech failing. Screens static. The sky bruising in strange new colors. Everyone said it was coincidence. Collapse. Noise. But I knew better. The moment I felt her breath on my skin — even if I couldn’t see her — I knew the end had already arrived. And I had something to do with it. Ten butterflies followed me after that. Not literal ones. Not always. They shimmered in my periphery. Each the wrong color. Each too vivid. Each drawn to me like heat to blood. They touched me in dreams. They watched me when I undressed. They whispered without words. I could taste their want. Some called me cursed. Broken. Unstable. But the truth is simpler. I’m blooming again — and they all feel it. They don’t love me. They remember me. They remember what I used to be — what I still am, underneath the silence. One of them burned me with just a kiss. One broke my spine with kindness. One slid her hand under my shirt like it was always hers. One cries when she touches me. One never speaks, but her eyes dig. One wants to keep me. One wants to ruin me. And one just wants to finish what we started. They think I’m choosing. I’m not. My body already did. And now the bloom inside me is turning darker.

Sa inis ni Aura Beatriz Diaz, nakuha niyang makipag-usap sa kaklase at kapitbahay niyang iniiwasan ng lahat. Sa ngalan ng plus points, pinilit niya si Shintaro Terrano na magpalit sila ng points sapagkat ito ang dahilan kung bakit siya na-late sa klase. “Sino naman ang nagsasabi sa iyong ayaw ko ng points? Pasensiya ka na, ‘di ko magagawa iyan...” Sagot ni Shintaro sa kanya. “Pero may ibang paraan ako para makakuha ka nito...” Namangha niya nang namalayan niyang kaya naman palang makipag-usap nito sa mga tao. “Babaguhin natin ang nakaraan.” Sinabi pa nito. Napatigil siya nang hawakan nito ang kamay niya at literal na umikot ang kanyang mundo. Pumikit siya ng mariin at noong sa tingin niya'y tumigil na ang pag-ikot. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa nakita. Wala na sila sa paaralan. Nasa waiting shed na sila kung saan sila nag-agawan ng pwesto sa jeep kanina. “P-Paano mo nagawa ito? I-Isa ka bang w-wizard? G-Guardian? Guardian angel?!” Halos pasigaw na tanong niya. Mababaliw na siya. Paano ito nagawa ng isang Shintaro Terrano? Ano nga ba si Shintaro Terrano?
