2021-08-04 20:49:11NASA SECOND FLOOR kami ng mga anak ko at tinuturuan ko silang gumawa ng assignment nila. This was an empty space just across the twins' rooms which we turned into a little corner for them to rest and study. May mababang study table roon na nakapatong sa carpet. May sofa bed din saka isang cabinet at telang duyan na madali lang ligpitin. Pero ang pinakamagandang parte no'n ay ang horizontal and rectangular glass window kung saan namin natatanaw ang overlooking view ng downtown. This part of our house looked so calming.
Nakaupo lang kami sa sahig habang tinutulungan ko silang mag-aral dahil mababa lang din iyong lamesa namin. Si Mari ay dire-diretso ang pagsagot ng assignment nila. Nagtatanong lang siya kapag may gusto siyang linawin. Ang pinaka-challenge talaga rito ay si Maki.
“If I take three zebras out of five, how many are still there?” tanong ko ulit sa kanya at tinakpan pa ang tatlong zebra sa picture para mabilang

WHEN I LOOKED at our wall clock and found that it was already time for Roma's interview, I hurried to the living room and turned on the television. The twins were still in school. Kahahatid ko lang sa kanila roon at susunduin ko na naman ulit sila mamaya bago pa mag-alas dose. Umupo agad ako sa couch at hinintay ang kamerang ituon na sa kanya. I smiled when he smiled brightly at the camera. He was wearing a white tweed vest with a Chanel brooch pinned on his right chest part, and it was paired with black palazzo pants then black Chelsea boots. Iyong vest niya ay walang undershirt kaya kitang-kita iyong muscles at tattoo niya. He was also wearing a makeup and regular size hoop earrings. “Let us all welcome the fashion designer, model, and beauty mogul, Roma Buendia!” announced the host. I was all ears when the interview commenced. It was mostly about Roma being successful in fashion and

ALIW NA ALIW ako habang nagsasayaw sa pang-umagang zumba session ni Klarissa sa may plaza. Roma was left with the sleeping twins at home. I was with Rosella and Florence. Nandito rin ang mga La Vista at iba pang mga taga-ibang block para makisali sa libreng pa-zumba ngayong Sabado. Ang sarap at ang saya lang talagang umindak sa saliw ng tugtog ng kantang ‘Bongga Ka ‘day’ ng Hotdogs. “Walk to the left, then punch. Walk to the right, then punch,” malakas na turo ni Klarissa ng steppings habang nasa harap namin. “Hands on your hips and move it!” Patuloy lang kami sa pagsunod sa mga tinuturo niya. We followed her lead until we were finally finished for today. I was wearing a pink terno Adidas jacket and track pants over my white tank top. Malamig kasi madaling araw pa at nasa elevated area ang location ng Maharlika Village kaya mas pinili kong iyon ang suotin. This was also the re

INAALALAYAN NAMIN NI Roma ang mga bata palabas sa backyard habang takip-takip ng mga palad namin ang mga mata nila. We prepared a surprise for them which we were sure they will really love. “Maddy, what is it?” excited na tanong ni Maki habang sinusubukang tanggalin ang mga palad ng maddy niya. “We'll get there, baby.” Roma was covering his son's eyes while I was the one in charge for Mari. Huminto kami sa tapat ng surprisa namin sa kanila. Ponkan was barking loudly too while wagging his tail happily. Nagkatinginan kami ni Roma at nagkangitian. He slowly nodded, cuing me for the countdown. “In three, two, one...” sabay naming bilang at inalis na ang pagkakatakip sa mga mata ng mga bata. “Surprise!” “Wow!” the twins cheerfully chorused the moment they saw our gift. Nagtilian silang dalawa at napapalakpak pa sa tuwa at excitement. Mak

PAGKATAPOS KONG MAGHANDA ng almusal ay umakyat na ako sa second floor at pumasok sa kwarto ng mga bata. “Rise and shine, sweetheart,” I said as I kissed Maki on his forehead and woke him up. Nang mag-inat na siya ay pumatong ako sa may kama niya para hawiin ang kurtina ng bintana niya. Sunod ko namang pinasok ang kwarto ni Mari at isa-isang binuksan ang mga bintana roon. “Wake up, baby sleepyhead,” I called sweetly as I bent down to kiss her chubby cheek. Nag-inat si Mari at bumangon na. Kaya hindi ako nahihirapang mag-ayos sa pinagtulugan niya kasi bumabangon agad ang mutya ko. “Mama, tulungan na po kita,” alok naman niya sabay abot sa dulo ng kumot na hawak ko rin. Napangiti ako at yumuko upang halikan siya sa pisngi niya. “Ang sweet naman ng mutya ko... pero si mama na ang bahala rito. Bumaba na kayo ni Maki to eat your breakfast. Maddy's wa

NAGBABA AKO NG tingin sa mga brasong nakapulupot sa beywang ko at malaking palad na nasa tiyan ko na masuyo akong hinahaplos doon. It was Roma hugging me from the back while I was doing the dishes. His lips were also grazing my shoulder. “Wala pa rin bang baby number three rito?” he asked. “Are you still on pills?” Umiling naman ako. “I stopped intaking it.” “Good. The twins are already asleep,” makahulugang saad niya sa mapaglarong tono. Nangingiting napailing na lamang ako. He already pulled down the ruffle sleeveless of my dress. “Mauna ka na sa kwarto. Susunod ako,” I told him. “Nah, let's do it here.” “Ha?” Naguguluhang bumaling ako sa kanya. Nginisihan naman

NGINITIAN KO AGAD si Klarissa pagkabukas ko sa pinto ng bahay namin. “Good morning, Julie,” she greeted smilingly. “Good morning din, Klarissa. May maitutulong ba ako?” “Magso-solicit sana ako para sa simbahan kasi iyong sponsor na block sa darating na misa ngayong Linggo ay ang Mahogany. Ayos lang ba sa ‘yo? Kahit magkano lang,” paliwanag niya sabay pakita sa akin nang dala niyang puting sobre. Klarissa was very active in church just like her parents. Nasabi na nga sa akin noon nina Florence at Rosella na kung hindi raw siya choreographer at walang raket sa pagsasayaw-sayaw ay tumutulong at nagtatrabaho sa simbahan si Klarissa. Aaminin kong nakakagaan sa loob na malamang hindi siya kagaya ni Tito Ramon na masyadong nakadepende ang buong paniniwala sa lahat-lahat nang itinuturo ng relihiyon namin. I mean, there was really nothing wrong with it. The concept of religion

HINARAP KO ANG flash card na may malaki at maliit na letrang ‘R’ kay Maki. Nasa may study area nila kami ngayon ni Mari at sinasamahan ko silang mag-aral. “R,” turo ko kay Maki kung paano ang tamang bigkas. “Aw,” sagot naman niya. “Maki, it's ‘ar’. Ulitin mo ang sinasabi ni mama, ‘ar’.” “A...” panimula niya. Ngumanga naman ako para sundan siya. “Aw...” Ang tigas talaga ng ‘R’ niya, ayaw pang lumabas. “Maki, it's ‘ar’, ‘ar’, ‘ar’.” “Aw, aw, aw,” sunod-sunod niyang sagot, unti-unti nang nawawalan ng pasensya. I pursed my lips and blinked quickly. Naging aso na ang anak ko. Inulit-ulit ko sa kanya iyon. Napapakamot pa siya ng pisngi kasi mukhang nawawalan na naman ng gana. “Ar.” “Aw.”

NAKANGIWING INABOT SA akin ni Roma ang box ng tissue na agad ko namang tinanggap. We were watching Pixar's Coco at the living room with the twins. “Seriously, Julie?” Pagkatapos kong magpunas ng luha at suminga sa tissue na kinuha ko ay nilingon ko siya. “What? My parents don't approve of my career plan, too. It hits close to home,” giit ko pa. That was in the past but I can still relate to Miguel for wanting to pursue his passion for music in which his family would always disapprove. Sunod naman kaming napatingin kay Maki na sumisinghot-singhot din sa pwesto niya sa tabi ni Roma. “And you too?” panunukso pa ni Roma sa anak naming umiyak na talaga. Mari and I chuckled. Hinampas ko naman nang marahan si Roma sa balikat niya para magtigil na sa kakakulit sa anak niya. “Aw, my baby's touched...” pambawi niya sabay yakap at nanggigigil

Julie Tearjerky (Eraserheads Series #2) Special Chapter 03
This is a very special chapter and announcement because the next two installments under Eraserheads Series will be led by Mutyang Marikit or ‘Mari’ and Maliksing Makisig or ‘Maki’, respectively. Pag-iisipan ko pa kung anong story naman ang ibibigay ko for Kundimang Bahaghari or ‘Hari’. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you with all my heart and soul for your gems, reviews, and ratings. I hope you could give me one as it will help me in promoting this story and in sharing my advocacy regarding gender and sexuality with a bigger and greater audience here on GoodNovel. Thank you, thank you so much! I wouldn't make it this far without all of you. This will be the last part for Julie Tearjerky but see you in my upcoming stories under the Eraserheads Series. I hop
Julie Tearjerky (Eraserheads Series #2) Special Chapter 02
This special chapter will chronicle the Buendia Twins' experiences while growing up. This will be told in third person point of view. MATINGKAD ANG SIKAT ng araw ng umagang iyon. Nagtipon-tipon ang mga preschool student sa gymnasium ng pribadong paaralan ng Roosevelt para sa isang espeyal na parangal. Tak... Tak... Tak... Iyan ang tunog na nililikha ng mga sapatos ni Maki na sadyang pinakintab ng kanyang ina para sa selebrasyon na iyon at sa tuwing ito ay tumatama sa sahig ng gymnasium kada padyak niya ng kanyang mga paa habang naghihintay na matawag ang pangalan niya. Ang kanyang mga kamay ay nakatuko pa sa may kandungan niya. Agad niyang tinaas ang mga iyon upang pumalakpak nang matawag na ang pangalan ng kakambal niyang siyang nangunguna sa buong klase nila. “Buendia, Mutyang Marikit D. First Honors.”

NASA MAY PATIO dining area kami at nagtipon-tipon nina Rosella at Florence kasama ng mga batang naglalaro sa may backyard. Pinagsasaluhan namin ang gawang merienda ni Rosella habang nag-uusap. “Valentine's Day na bukas!” masayang bulalas ni Rosella. “Saan ang lakad niyong mag-asawa, mga mars?” “Sa bahay lang pero sigurado akong may pa-flowers at chocolates na naman si Tommy. Kayo ba?” “May date kami ni Marvin. He said he doesn't want to make a surprise for me this year. Sinabi niya na sa akin iyong plano niya para makapaghanda na ako kasi ang pangit kong magulat, e, nananapak nang bongga. Mukhang pagod na rin si Marvin na masapak ko.” We all laughed at that and when it died down, they both turned to me. “Ikaw ba, Julie?” asked Florence. “Hindi ko alam, e. Pero gusto ko sana this year, ako naman ang sumurprisa sa kay Roma.” That was
Julie Tearjerky (Eraserheads Series #2) 03 Roma
HINDI MAGAWANG ALISIN ni Roma ang titig sa susunod na aplikanteng pumasok sa opisina niya na sasalang sa interview at upang mag-apply bilang isa sa mga chemical engineer niya. “How are you? It's been a long time.” “Prince...” ang tanging nausal ni Roma. “I thought you joined the Philippine Military,” dugtong naman niya nang makabawi. Prince gave him his small boyish smile. “I didn't push through it. That's not what I want. This... is what I want.” Nakatitig lang si Roma sa mukha ni Prince. It's really been a long time since they last saw each other. They didn't even have a proper breakup. They were just taken away from each other. The changes in him were noticeable as well. He grew taller, had some stubbles, and gained more muscles, very similar to Roma right now except for the facial hair. His skin was maintained clear, smooth, and pristine. Skincare was life for Rom
Julie Tearjerky (Eraserheads Series #2) 02 Roma
ROME KNEW IN his heart that he really loved Prince, but he also couldn't deny the immense care he had for Julie. Handa siyang magpabugbog at masaksak masigurong ligtas at ayos lang ito na siyang naging dahilan nang pagkakaratay niya ngayon sa ospital. “Diyos ko, salamat Po...” usal agad ng mommy niya ang narinig niya pagdilat niya. Hawak-hawak pa nito ang rosaryong ginamit sa pagdadasal nang lumapit ito sa kanya saka hinaplos ang ulo niya. “Anak, kumusta ka na? Ano nang pakiramdam mo? Dalawang araw ka nang n-natutulog...” “My, tatawag ako ng nurse,” paalam naman ng kuya niyang si Philip bago lumabas ng kwarto nila. “T-Tubig po...” “Nauuhaw ka ba? Sandali lang. Heto na, heto na.” Agad-agad naman siyang pinaupo saka inalalayan ng ina niya sa pag-inom ng tubig. “Anak, huwag mo na ulit gawin iyon, please.”

This is the first part of the epilogue, and this will be told in Roma's point of view in third person. Words are not enough to express how grateful I am that you have stumbled and have became an important part of Julie and Roma's adventures and misadventures since high school to their lives overseas and back to the Philippines where they raised their own modern unconventional family and sort out what they truly mean to each other. I hope you bring with you the lessons you have gotten from here about life, love, faith, and most especially about gender and sexuality. Respect everyone and never lose faith. God bless!♡ BATA PA LAMANG si Rome, ang junior ng OFW na si Borromeo Buendia, ay alam at ramdam na niyang may espesyal sa kanya. He was also very vocal with it towards his family who never failed to support him in anyway they can. Tumunog ang bell, hudyat nang pagsisimula ng unang klase. Mabibilis na yapak ng mga

WARNING: This chapter contains scenes not suitable for readers under 18 years of age. Reader discretion is advised. I JUST FOUND Roma and I in our bed sharing another round of intimate moment. Patagilid at parehong hubad kaming dalawa na nakahiga ngayon sa kama. He was hugging me tightly with his left arm while he was also moving quickly in and out of me. Nakatanday naman ang isang binti niya sa akin habang patuloy siya sa mabilis na paggalaw. I kept meeting him, too. Ginalaw niya iyong kanang braso niyang inuunan ko upang igiya ako palingon sa kanya sa likuran ko. When I turned to face him, he instantly sealed my mouth with his tongue and hot kisses. “Ah...” I moaned in between our kisses, especially when I felt his thumb and index fingers toying with my already hard nipples. Mula sa pagkakayakap sa akin ay binaba niya ang kaliwang braso niya at kamay sa mas

PINUNTAHAN NAMIN NI Roma ang Pamilya Escobar sa ospital nang makapag-ayos na kami. We left the kids under Lilo's watch. Tumayo agad si Klarissa pagkakita niya sa aming papalapit sa kanya saka kami sinalubong. “Kumusta na si Tito Mon?” I asked. “Ayos na siya sa awa ng Diyos.” She turned to Roma, her eyes were now tearful. “Roma, maraming-maraming salamat talaga sa pagliligtas sa kanya.” Roma caressed her arm to soothe her as he gave her one thoughtful smile. “It's okay, Issa. Huwag ka nang mag-alala sa mga gagastusin niyo. I already contacted Marvin's construction company as well to fix your house as soon as possible.” “Roma, maraming-maraming salamat talaga sa lahat pero... matatagalan pa siguro bago kami makapagbayad sa iyo...” “Huwag kang mag-aalala sa bayad. It can always wait but I'm not asking you to pay me for it, okay? I just really wanted to

THE MAHOGANY GANG clapped, cheered, and teased us because we were making such a scene on stage. Agad kong pinunasan ang mga luha ko habang marahang naghahalakhakan kami ni Roma. I called Klarissa next because I was her secret Santa. Tuwang-tuwa naman siya nang hindi lang ang regalo ko ang binigay ko kundi pati na rin iyong mamahaling sapatos na props ni Roma para sa surprise niyang ito. When everything was said and done, we proceeded and feasted on the banquet. Maganang-magana ang kain ng mga anak namin ni Roma. Pagkatapos nila ay nagpaalam naman silang maglalaro lang sa may stage. Alexa and Gelo promised and assured us that they will be watching out for all of the Mahogany kids. Sinamahan na rin sila ni Nicolette na mukhang gusto ring makipaglaro sa mga bata. Naiwan sa mahabang table kaming mga matatanda. Dylan was with us as well. Napatingin kami kay Tito Ramon nang biglang tumayo siya at tinaas ang c
