Huling Na-update:
2024-10-29 19:42:56HINARAP 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

PAGKABABA KO SA sala kasama ng mga bata na nabihisan ko na ay nakaayos na rin si Roma at handa nang umalis. “Bye, kids,” paalam niya sa mga batang agad namang lumapit sa kanya. “Bye, maddy. Ingat ka po. We love you,” the twins chorused and kissed their father on the both sides of his cheek. After kissing them one-by-one, Roma stood up properly and looked at me. Hindi ko na siya pinahirapan pa at lumapit na ako sa kanya. He gave me a smack on the lips, and I then caressed his arm. “Mag-iingat ka. Ako na ang bahala sa kambal,” I assured him. “Mauna na kayong magdinner mamaya. Lock the doors carefully because I think I will be going home late.” “Bakit?” “Peyton invited us for dinner,” sagot niya. I blinked, tore my eyes of him, and slowly nodded. Si Peyton na naman. Napapadalas na ‘tong pag-uwi ni Roma nang late dahil

SUMAMA AKO KINA Ate Vina at Rosella papunta sa presinto. Iniwan ko naman muna kay Roma ang kambal. Xiao Mei or the Chinese man who got scammed asked Tommy to return his money, the 400, 000 pesos. Nanghingi rin ito ng karadagdang 100, 000 para sa danyos. Kapag naibigay ng Pamilya Gainza iyon ay saka pa lamang siya magpapa-areglo at iaatras ang kaso. Florence can only offer 250, 000. Iyon lang daw ang huling mayro'n sila na maibibigay niya para tubusin ang asawa niya. Nagtulong-tulong na rin sina Ate Vina at Rosella para mag-ambagan. We will be needing a total of 500, 000, and I offered to pay them all. Gagamitin ko ang perang naitabi ko at napatubo mula sa isang milyong dolyar na ibinigay sa akin ni Roma noon. At first, Rosella and Ate Vina were hesitant to accept it because they were aware of the drift between me and Florence recently. I honestly told them that I didn't think of that when extending my h

NILAPAG KO ANG heart-shaped brownies na ka-be-bake ko lang sa ibabaw ng patio table namin. Nandoon si Roma at may ginagawa sa MacBook niya samantalang ang mga bata naman ay nasa playhouse nila at naglalaro. Mari was playing with her Barbie dolls, combing their hair while dressing them up. Tapos si Maki naman ang talagang naglililikot nang todo. Mayroong sasakay siya sa kotse-kotsehan niya tapos a-acting na magda-drive na naman pabalik sa playhouse nila kasi nakalimutan niya iyong niluluto niya. Ang kulit lang talaga... “Mawi, Mawi, gutom na ba kayo? Pauwi na ako,” Maki informed Mari through their toy phones. “Oo, Maki. Hindi luto ‘yong rice natin. Hindi mo kasi in-on ang rice cooker...” Natawa na ako nang marinig iyon. Si Roma naman ay nagtakip ng mukha niya at tila ba ay hiyang-hiya sa pwesto niya. Ginagaya kasi ng mga bata iyong huling beses na napagsabihan ko si Roma kasi hindi niya pala pinundot pa-

ROMA HAD BEEN busy the following weeks. Minsanan na lang din siya kung sumabay sa aming kumain dahil lagi silang overtime ni Peyton. Konting-konti na lang talaga at i-re-real talk ko na siya kasi lagi na lang malungkot ang kambal kapag hindi namin siya kasama sa hapag. Siyempre ay ako na rin. “Oh, kape mo,” matabang na saad ko at nilapag ang tasa ng kapeng ginawa ko para sa kanya pag-upo niya sa dining table. Kunot-noong napatingala naman siya sa akin. I maintained a straight face as I prepared the breakfast table. “Bish, is there a problem?” he asked. “Wala man lang good motherfuckin' morning d'yan, bish? Talagang kape agad?” Ewan ko sa ‘yo! “Wala,” simpleng sagot ko at tinalikuran na siya para ipagbalot ng baon nila ang kambal. He groaned and stood up from his seat then began tailing me. “Julie, akala ko ba nag-usap na tayo?”

DAHAN-DAHAN KONG IMINULAT ang mga mata ko pagkarinig ko sa tunog ng alarm clock ko. Ang nakangiting mukha agad ni Roma ang nabungaran ko. He crouched to peck on my lips before he propped his left elbow on the bed while his head was resting on his palm. “Good motherfuckin' morning, bish!” he greeted. “And happy motherfuckin' birthday, too!” Doon na ako tuluyang napangiti. He remembered that today was my birthday and that already made my morning special. “Thank you...” tugon ko at umusod palapit sa kanya para yakapin siya nang mahigpit. He also hugged me back as I felt him slowly caress my hair. “Huwag ka nang maghanda mamayang gabi. I will prepare a special dinner for you and our kids at Tommy's restaurant. I have already asked Tyra to reserve the whole place for us for the special occasion. We are going to celebrate it there. You can also invite and bring the entire M

I WAS DRAWING invisible circles on Roma's bare chest while we were still lying naked under the sheets. Nakahiga ako sa balikat niya habang talagang nakatulog na siya matapos ang makailang beses naming ginawa. I couldn't sleep yet. I felt like I was in full bliss because of his confession earlier. Mahal niya ako... Sa wakas ay mahal na ako ng taong buong buhay kong pinag-alayan ng katawan, puso, at kaluluwa ko. I looked up at him and gently caressed his face. Mas clear skin pa siguro siya kaysa sa akin, but Roma was Roma, and I love him with all of my heart, life, and soul. Nagulat ako nang biglang hinuli niya ang kamay kong nasa pisngi niya dahil buong akala ko ay talagang tulog na siya. He held my hand and placed a soft kiss there before he laid it atop his chest, just right above the location of his heart. Ipinikit na niyang muli ang mga mata niya habang mahigpit na kapit pa rin ang kamay kong nasa ma

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

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.

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

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

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
