Tamod Ng Binata Novels & Stories

Nang mga sandaling 'yon ay inilabas na n'ya si Tobie na mas nagpalaki ng ngiti ko. Hinimas himas ko pa 'to bago ko sinakyan. Duon muling nanumbalik ang mga alaala naming dalawa. "Sige na pumunta kana sa paraiso. Alam kong naghahanap ka pa din ng sagot sa mga oras na 'to." masayang sabi ni Manong. "Ahh Manong. I mean Tropang Bert. Pwedeng makahingi ng request? Maari bang ikaw ang magsuot ng bracelet sa kamay ko?" sambit ko na kinagulat n'ya.

Hindi pa rin tumitigil sa pagtatawa ang damuho bagay na mas ikinaiinis ko pa lalo. "Ito naman, galit agad. Gusto ko lang naman puntahan ang mga kaibigan mo. Alam mo naman na fan na fan nila ako. At saka, nakita ko sa isang post mo na ang saya-saya niyo kapag magkakasama. Baka naman pwede akong maki-jamming sa tropahan niyo," sambit ni Cason bago nag-pout na animo'y isang bata.

Tumango ako. At pagbalik namin... Andun si Jin... Pumwesto din... Di bale napagitnaan ako. Halatang di nagkikibuan ang dalawa. "Guys...ito na ang subject niyo." Bumukas ang kurtina... At halos takpan ko ang mga mata ko. Ang laswa eh! Isang babaeng h***d...hawak ang isang mansanas... at yung lalaki naman nakayakap dito.

While the others landed on the ground. “The bird on your shoulder is a Tigmamanukan bird,” Amansinaya explained. I looked at the bird, with its shining eyes that have the same shade from the green particles glowing from its black wings. Its slate blue body perfectly fits the color of its wings. I looked at the other birds on the ground; they were now playing with Orlene. “It is the same species of bird that was ordered by Bathala to crack the bamboo, where Malakas and Maganda could be found.” She continued. I have some knowledge about that myth, but I didn’t know that it would exist in this world!

No one talk or make a noise until we stop on a shabby tavern. Bang! Tumama sa dingding ang mabigat na pinto ng tavern na pinangalanang Moranda nang bigla itong bumukas ng may malupit na puwersa. Biglang tumahimik ang mga nagbubulung-bulungan na mga lasenggo, nagyayabang na pakikipagsapalaran at nagsisigawang mga mersenaryo na nakikisaya sa kilalang inihaw na karne ng baka.

“See? Alam mo kung gaano kapanganib sa Lake Benvista, balik ka pa rin nang balik doon! Paano pag katawan mo na ang nabalitaan naming palutang lutang doon, ha? Mumultuhin kami ni Tito at Tita!” “Wow, salamat sa concern ha? Mas takot ka pa palang multuhin ng Mom at Dad ko kaysa makitang lumulutang ako sa lawa.” “Duh? Balak ko kasing agawin ang hacienda at bank account mo. Mangyayari lang ‘yon pag nawala ka sa landas ko.” “Tarantado ka!” binatukan ko siya at nagtawanan kami.

Banta ko kay Venom. "Ayoko nga, sino ka ba para sundin ko?" Napaawang ang bibig ko, ah gano'n? "Joke lang! Ito naman hindi mabiro!" "Tara, tambay ka rito bago klase niyo." Suggestion nito bigla, "Ano gagawin ko diyan?" "Travel tayo sa abiility domain hehe!" "Ha? Anong ability domain?" I confusedly uttered to my mind, "Basta, 'wag ka nang magtanong!"

Nysaa took another sip of her whiskey, her eyes dancing with mischief. "I suppose it's better than the time I thought I saw Bigfoot in the woods. I swear, he was out there, lurking with those big, furry feet." Mike laughed again. "Bigfoot, huh? Did you manage to snap a picture?" Nysaa shook her head, her tone exaggeratedly disappointed. "No, he was too fast. Bigfoot's got some serious moves. But I'm telling you, he's real." Their playful conversation continued, the warmth of the bar and the alcohol further loosening Nysaa's tongue.

“You’re not in any condition to leave, Tamara. Like I said, my aunt is a nurse, she can help take care of you. Stay, at least until you’re healed enough to walk properly.” I let out a heavy sigh as I weighed my options- like I actually had an option. “Fine.” He nodded his head triumphantly as he reached for the tv remote off of the coffee table. He turned it on and a random news station played. The news woman was reporting on the massive mudslide that swept through the area last night. Elliot left me to rest and watch tv while he fucked off to some other part of his house I hadn’t seen yet. I ended up dozing off again, no weird dream this time, thankfully.

Ang Binondo ay tila isang maze ng naglalakihang mga karatula, amoy ng insenso, at makipot na mga eskinita. Sa ilalim ng ulan, naglakad si Liam na nakasuot lamang ng isang itim na hoodie. Iniwan niya ang kanyang mga bodyguard at maging ang kanyang GPS tracker sa shipyard. Alam niyang kung mahuhuli siya ni Xander, tiyak na malalagot siya, pero kailangan niyang malaman kung sino si "V."
