Mamaya Na Novels & Stories

“As long as you keep doing a good job for the king, I’m sure it will.” I hesitate for a moment, thinking about what I wanted to tell her about what Mystica told me the day before. I don’t want to upset her, but I have to know. “Mom, have you ever heard of an island called… Maatua?” My mom is quiet for a moment before she repeats the word. “Maatua? Uh… why do you ask?”

Passing workers nod their greetings as I make my way through. Entering the living room, I find Maama pacing energetically, while Amanda lounges on the sofa, absorbed in her phone. Typical Amanda—detached and self-absorbed. "My sweet boy," Maama exclaims, swooping in for a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "How're you doing, Maama?" I inquire as she pulls away. "Oh, you know how it is," she responds with a shrug. "Life's a rollercoaster—ups and downs galore!"

Though she tried to hide it, she too was feeling some kind of uncertainty. "Mara I saw your picture" her mum let out a deep breath. "Mum you have my pictures everywhere in the house" Mara shook her head as if her mother just said something very silly. "No, I am not talking about that. I saw your picture somewhere else…I saw your picture in the least place I expected" her mum continued to speak and this time she had gotten her daughter's attention. "And where could that possibly be. If it's on a billboard then we have to go and get our money from them. It isn't easy being famous yuuno?" Mara kept on blabbing and her mum just shook her head horizontally at the gullibility of her daughter.

Even her gentle voice makes me want to cry right now. She knows. Yea, what's the point of having me with her for years of growing up if she doesn't know? I calm myself and just smile at her. And when she hugs me, I close my eyes and I thank her for being with me through times like this. "Thank you, Na!" I sincerely whisper to her "And here we go again. Nana, we're just going to the Capital. I'm not going to get her away from you, so stop acting like you two will be apart forever," as soon as we hear him say that, we break from the hug and laugh together.

Immediately her mother sighted her, she was struck with a statement she never wished to hear Ma'am Kyl : Rainbow I don't ever wanna see you close to ma'am Nina and her daughter ever again! Do u hear me? STAY AWAY FROM BLUE

Gulf didn't gave up continue argued: "But why me??" Mew got ran out of patience and said "Don't you see all here with their Luna??" Gulf got confused and said, "But." Mew cut his sentence with a frown and said "What But. Don't you remember you are my Mate"

I knew her too well — the more annoyed I got, the more she’d push. “Maya, babe, you seriously need to live a little,” she continued. “Look at you. You’re twenty-seven, drop-dead gorgeous with a body that could make men beg… and you’re still a virgin? You’re letting that tight little pussy go to waste, girl. I’m telling you, those fictional men in your spicy books can’t eat you out, finger you, or fuck you the way a real guy can.” My face burned crimson. “What the hell are you talking about?!”

Maya skipped beside Sam, her small hand in his. Her other hand held a melting ice cream cone, pink and dripping. She had already licked half of it, but the rest was sliding down the sides, threatening to ruin her dress. "Papa Sam, Mama is so brilliant!" she said, her voice bright with excitement. "She showed the judge the video and the bad people's faces went all white! Like ghosts!" Sam laughed. "Your mama is very brilliant." "And my Father!" Maya continued, swinging their joined hands. "He never even flinched! Not once! He just stared at them with his scary eyes and they all got scared!"

Something wasn’t right in this house. Something didn’t seem right in this house, Maya wishing I never came home and mum? Calling me “tomada” like an item that was taken, claimed. Something didn’t seem right.

Absorbing all the details of my current surrounding. The fact that this party had been held just for me sinking in deeper. I had totally forgotten that today was my birthday. I had been so overwhelmed with the grief of loosing my mother, that I had forgotten what true happiness felt like. From the corner of my eye, I could see Mira move closer to me. Before crouching down to my level, in front of me. She opens her mouth to speak, but is interrupted by the sound of clicking heels. Which I hate to say, was drawing nearer.
