Resumen

Kenneth and Sam were best friends. Pero lingid sa kaalaman nilang dalawa, unti-unti na pala silang nagkakagusto sa isa't isa. Fate has other plans, though. Kenneth fell for Kristine, and Sam left, thinking na iyon na ang tadhanang nakaukit sa kanilang mga palad. Na hindi sila ang magkatadhana kailan pa man. But after 15 years, bumalik ng Pilipinas si Sam. Wala na si Kristine, at kahit na meron silang anak ni Kenneth ay hindi na ito makakahadlang pa sa kung ano man ang pwedeng mangyari sa pagitan nina Kenneth at Sam. Ito na nga ba ang magiging simula ng kanilang pag-iibigan na nag-ugat pa 15 years ago? Pero bago natin tunghayan ang kwento sa kasalukuyan, balikan muna natin ang kanilang naging kwento sa nakaraan. This is the primer to Moonville Series 2: Maybe This Time. Ito ang kwento kung paano nagkakilala sina Kenneth at Sam, kung paano sila naging magkaibigan, kung paanong nabago ang kanilang nararamdaman sa isa't sa, at kung paano sila nagkalayong dalawa. This is the story of how they were way back then.

𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟗𝟗𝟒

First day of class ngayon sa Carlos P. Romulo University. Maaga pa lang ay nagsisidatingan na ang mga estudyante. Ang iba ay kasama pa ang kanilang mga magulang, lalo na ang mga grade one at first year students sa high school. Ang ibang parents naman ay inihahatid lamang ang kanilang mga anak at pagkatapos noon ay aalis na at pupunta sa kani-kaniyang trabaho o negosyo.

Isa sa mga iyon si Samantha de Vera. Inihatid siya ng kanyang amang si Sebastian de Vera, na kilala rin sa tawag na Don Baste. Ang usapan ay ihahatid siya ng kanyang daddy hanggang sa university lamang, pero parang gusto niyang pahatid pa dito hanggang sa classroom nila mismo.

"Excited?" tanong ng kanyang daddy.

Mukhang naitanong iyon ni Don Baste dahil hindi nito nakikita ang nakasimangot niyang mukha. Nakatingin kasi siya sa labas ng bintana ng kanilang dark green Toyota Corolla.

"Scared, actually," aniya sabay ismid.

"Scared? Bakit naman?"

Napatingin si Sam sa ama. "Dad, ayoko na yata. Pwede bang bumalik na lang ako sa elementary? Grade five na lang ako. Iyon naman ang dapat, hindi ba?"

"Hindi ba ikaw rin naman ang gustong ma-accelerate ka?" ani Don Baste sa bunso. "Ginusto mo rin na tumalon mula grade four papuntang first year high school."

"Oo pero…" Paano ba niya ipapaliwanag sa ama ang pangambang nararamdaman niya?

"Natatakot ka kasi matanda ng dalawang taon sa iyo iyong magiging classmates mo, ano?"

Tumango siya sa sinabi ng ama.

"What's the big deal if your classmates are older than you? Ang mahalaga, kaya mong makipagsabayan sa kanila pagdating sa studies mo. Hindi ka naman ia-accelerate kung hindi ka pumasa sa mga exams na ibinigay sa iyo, hindi ba? I'm sure you'll be okay."

"Hindi naman po iyon ang ikinakatakot ko, eh."

"Eh ano pala?"

"Eh kasi, for sure iyong mga kaklase ko kilala na nila ang isa't isa. For sure, sila-sila rin lang ang classmates sa elementary. Tapos bigla akong masasali sa kanila…"

"Oh! So you're scared na wala kang maging kaibigan sa kanila?"

Tumango siya.

Hinawakan siya ni Don Baste sa ulo. "Huwag mong isipin iyan. For sure kaagad kang magkakaroon ng kaibigan. Ang bait mo kaya!"

Lalo siyang napasimangot sa sinabing iyon ng kanyang ama. Pinisil na lamang ng natatawang si Don Baste ang pisngi niya.

"Come on. You don't want to be late on your first day."

Kahit medyo tutol pa ang kalooban ay wala na ring nagawa pa si Sam kundi ang kunin na lamang ang kanyang asul na backpack.

"I'm sure you'll be fine. Aren't you excited? High school ka na!"

Isang buntong-hininga ang isinagot niya dito.

"Sige na... See you later."

Humalik siya sa ama at saka nagpaalam na dito. Saka na siya lumabas ng kotse at pumasok na sa tarangkahan ng CPRU.

Sa totoo lang, excited din naman siya na pumasok ngayon. Sino ba ang hindi na-excite sa first day ng high school life niya? Ang kaso, feeling niya ay hindi pa siya ready na pumasok sa kabanatang iyon ng buhay niya. Pero, gaya nga ng sabi ng daddy niya, ginusto rin naman niya ang ganoon. Ginusto rin naman niyang ma-accelerate para mapadali ang pag-aaral niya at makapag-Med school na kaagad siya.

Nine years old pa lang siya, turning tem that December, at dapat ay grade five pa lang siya sa pasukang iyon. Iyon nga lang, overqualified na daw siya pagdating sa academic skills at pwede na niyang lampasan hindi lang ang isang taon kundi ang dalawang taong natitira pa sa kanyang elementary life. Kaya naman binigyan siya ng series of exams at sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ay nag-accelerate ang CPRU ng isang estudyante. Kaya siya naging high school bigla.

Pagpasok niya sa classroom nila ay naramdaman kaagad niya ang pagtingin ng lahat sa kanya. Ganoon naman siguro sa lahat ng pumapasok ang mga iyon, pero hindi pa rin niya maiwasang ma-conscious dahil nga sa hindi naman siya ordinaryong estudyante. Bukod kasi sa hindi naman niya ka-batch ang mga ito ay hindi rin siya masyadong nag-aattend ng mga social gatherings sa social circle nila. Sa mga event lang nila sa Tarlac General Hospital siya pumupunta at pili lang din ang mga dinadaluhan niya. Iyong mga importante lang talaga at kailangang nandoon siya.

Mukha ngang totoo ang hinala niya na kilala ng mga kaklase niya ang isa't isa. Mukha ngang magkakaklase ang mga ito noong elementary. May kanya-kanyang grupo pa nga ang mga ito. Pero kahit isang grupo ay walang nag-abalang i-approach at kausapin siya.

Isang estudyanteng lalaki ang pumasok sa kanilang classroom. Naupo ito sa may gilid ng classroom malapit sa may pintuan. Pagpasok nito ay dito napukol ang usap-usapan ng kanyang mga kaklase. Mukhang katulad niya ay wala ring nakakakilala sa bagong dating nilang kaklase.

Pansin ni Sam na parang napakapayak ng suot ng lalaki. Puting t-shirt lang at maong na pantalon ang suot nito. Hindi tulad ng iba niyang kaklaseng lalaki na sobrang porma ng suot. Kagaya na lamang noong isang kaklase nila na lalaki. Hindi maiwasan ni Sam na mapansin ito dahil sobrang ingay nito. Ang dinig niya ay kabilang ito sa mga Arcilla na may-ari ng pinakamalaking patahian sa Tarlac.

Samantala, ang bagong dating na lalaki ay napaka-plain ng suot. Tingin pa nga ni Sam ay medyo kupas na ang suot nitong maong. Ang t-shirt na suot nito ay halatang luma din. Pero ganoon pa man ay maayos naman ang itsura ng lalaki. 

Ilang sandali pa ay dumating na rin ang kanilang guro. At siyempre, dahil unang araw ng klase ay ipapakilala muna nila ang kanilang mga sarili kahit pa nga halos magkakakilala na ang mga kaklase niya dahil magkakasama na ang mga ito since elementary. Siya nga lang ang napasama sa kanila. 

At pati pala iyong lalaki. 

"Okay, para maiba naman, sa likuran natin simulan," ang sabi ng teacher nila. 

Biglang kinabahan si Sam. Nasa may likuran kasi siya at siya ang isa sa unang magpapakilala sa klase. Actually, panglima siya mula doon sa kaklase nilang unang nagpakilala. 

Nadoble ang kabang iyon nang siya na ang magpapakilala. Pero tumayo pa rin siya at ginawa ang utos ng kanilang guro. 

"Good morning. I'm Sam. I'm from CPRU Elementary School… Nice to meet you all."

Alam niyang napakaikli ng sinabi niya, pero wala na siyang gusto pang sabihin. Tumingin na lamang siya sa kanilang guro to indicate na tapos na siyang magpakilala.

"That's all?" tanong ng guro sa kanya.

Tumango siya.

"Hindi mo ba sasabihin sa amin iyong apelyido mo?" napapangiting tanong ng guro niya.

Alam niyang wala namang masamang intensiyon ang guro nila, pero feeling niya ay lalo siyang napahiya sa nangyari. Gusto tuloy niyang umupo na lamang ulit, o kaya ay pwede rin namang maglaho na lang siya bigla sa kanyang kinatatayuan. Kung pwede lang sana.

Still, sinagot pa rin niya ang tanong ng teacher.

"De Vera… I'm Samantha de Vera."

Nakita ni Sam na napatingin sa kanya halos lahat ng mga kaklase niya. Mukhang alam na ng mga ito kung sino siya. Malamang na nabalitaan na ng lahat na ang bunsong anak ni Don Baste na si Samantha de Vera ay na-accelerate mula grade four papuntang first year high school. Hindi malayo iyon dahil isa lang naman ang social circle na ginagalawan ng mga ito.

Ang tanging iba ang reaksiyon ay iyong lalaking naka-puting t-shirt at kupas na maong. Parang random information lamang iyong sinabi niya at poker faced itong nakatingin lamang sa kanya.

"Oh! So you're the accelerated student," ang sabi naman ng teacher nila. Parang bigla itong na-excite sa narinig nito.

At iyon na nga ang ayaw ni Sam. Ang ma-mention ang obvious. Kasi feeling niya lalong nae-emphasize ang kaibahan niya sa kanyang mga kaklase. Lalo tuloy siyang nahihiya. Iyon namang lalaking naka-white t-shirt, parang na-amaze sa narinig. Full of curiosity na tuloy itong nakatingin sa kanya ngayon.

"Wow! Nice to meet you too, Sam," ang sabi ng guro nila.

Nginitian na lamang niya ang guro at saka na siya umupo na ulit. Pakiramdam niya at nadako ang tingin ng lahat ng kanyang mga kaklase sa kanya. Siguro feeling ng mga ito ay napaka-weird niyang tao. Sana naman ay huwag siyang layuan ng mga ito at baka lalo siyang mawalan ng kaibigan.

Nagpatuloy sa pagpapakilala ang buong klase. Lahat ng mga ito ay mula sa mga prominenteng pamilya sa Tarlac. And then, there's the guy in white shirt and faded jeans. Mukhang lahat ng mga nandoon ay nakinig sa pagpapakilala nito sa sarili.

"Magandang umaga po. I'm Kenneth Oliveros. I'm thirteen years old. I live in Brgy. Bato-bato, Gerona, Tarlac. I graduated from Bato-bato Elementary School."

Si Sam naman ang namangha sa narinig. Now she knows who this guy is. Hindi dahil sa narinig niya ang pangalan nito. Nalaman niya kung sino ang lalaki dahil sa sinabi nitong pinanggalingan nitong eskwelahan.

"Oh! So you're the scholar," anang teacher nila sa lalaki. "Class, for those of you who do not know, meron nang scholarship program ngayon ang CPRU high school. Dati kasi sa college lang iyon. And your classmate here, si Kenneth, is one of the recipients. Actually, siya lang ang nakapasok this school year. So, I hope you welcome Mr. Oliveros since this is his first time in CPRU."

Hindi naiwasang ma-amaze ni Sam sa narinig. Alam niyang hindi madali ang requirements para maging scholar sa CPRU. Hula niya ay valedictorian ng kanilang batch si Kenneth. Isa kasi iyon sa requirement pati na ang mataas na final average. Na-curious tuloy siya sa bago nilang kaklase. Higit sa lahat ng naroon ay ito ang gusto niyang makilala ng husto.

The Villain's Wife

-COMPLETED- WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Like almost every dramatic romance novel, Lily Qin’s story began with an evil stepmother, a scheming stepsister, and a dumb ex-fiance. At twenty, she fell prey to their grand scheme and became the laughingstock of the country. In despair, she left. Seven years later, Lily Qin rose from the ashes. She was labeled as an empress, an iron lady, a genius, and a prodigy. She was Miss Tycoon. Now, at twenty-seven, Lily Qin was an established businesswoman who was single-handedly controlling her multinational company abroad. She was beautiful, smart, and successful. Women envied her while men couldn’t help but worship her ethereal beauty. With her devastating past, everyone had assumed that Lily would exact revenge on the people who had wronged her. Who would have guessed that behind that beaming smile of hers was a numb heart that aimed only to make more profit? "You got it wrong." Lily elegantly propped her chin on the back of her hand. "I am seeing you today because we have something in common. We're both villains in somebody else's eyes. And I think it's time for us villains to get our own happy ending. Don't you think so?" --- Zhuo Jingren’s love for Lily Qin was something that only he knew. Ever since they were children, he had his eyes on her. Yet, every time he had tried to confess, he would end up fainting from nervousness. So when Lily Qin promised to marry him if he became richer than her, Zhou Jingren did not hesitate to leave the orphanage and work his way up just to become her man. Who would have thought that years later, when he was successful and feared by many, he would come back to an engaged Lily Qin? Then she mistook him for an escort after eating his tofu? Preposterous! The worst thing was, she seemed to have forgotten everything about him. Hadn’t she promised to marry him the moment he became more prominent than her family? Now, after taking advantage of him, she dared to run away? This woman was a liar! He gritted his teeth as he watched her approach him. He was about to say something mean when she suddenly spoke. “Are you my new bodyguard?” She did not even wait for him to answer before tossing her car keys at him. “Drive. Let’s go wreak some havoc.” Thus, the mafia’s big boss became Lily Qin’s bodyguard. --- "So? What do you want as a compensation?" Zhuo Jingren asked her once again before laying down next to her. His elbow was resting on the ground and his palm was supporting his head as he looked at her intently.  The first thing that Lily noticed about Zhuo Jingren when he laid next to her was his exposed tanned chest. This made him look more casual… and hot. She didn't even realize she was staring at the latter. "Why are you staring at me like that?" He smirked at her. "Do you want me to compensate you with my body?" Lily immediately rolled her eyes at the latter. "Who wants your body? Hmp! I want money!" "Your mind is always thinking of money but your body actually betrays you. Am I right to say that I have a shameless wife?" "Hah! I am a strong and independent woman of the 21st century. I know what I want. But if you insist on giving your body, I will take it too!" Lily shamelessly said, taking off her stilettos. However, just when Lily was about to lie down beside Zhuo Jingren, he suddenly pulled her on top of him. With her body on top of his, their faces were really close and they could even feel each other's breath.  "What a shameless woman," he noted, the smile on his face only deepened. .... Cover is mine. There is no RAPE or MAJOR MISUNDERSTANDINGS. WARNING: FL is scheming and evil. Discord: https://discord.gg/Jw2Yjfr Instagram: @blips01 Editor: Swaning, Ocelot
