 A Day Before/Saturday 

 

 

 Williams POV 

My hands are shaking so vibrantly in a strange way that no one could ever imagine. I'm only metres away from Munchy's cell and to say that I'm nervous would be an understatement. It’s just one of those moments that I fear that I might say the wrong things you know. And I just want to let go of all the pain once and for all and move on with my life, but I can’t do that unless Munchy signs the divorce papers. Come to think of it she doesn’t need to know that it’s the divorce papers, until she finish signing them and since I'm desperate and I have a few tricks up my sleeves I don’t see why not, do you? 

That's what I thought, It would be fun seeing the expression on her face when my devious plans work, but we all have to take risks don't we? 

 

 End of Williams POV 

“Good Morning Mr Scott, can I see Munchy and afterwards can I file a restricting order and a complaint regarding her as well please," William asked as he reached the familiar front desk. 

“Good Morning Mr Brown good to see you. There's no problem with you doing all you asked, Munchy is right this way in room 042," Mr Scott replied back with a pleasant smile as he walked towards the familiar cell. 

“Thanks for what you did for my daughter Charlie. How can I repay you," William asked in a serious tone as he followed behind Mr.Scott. 

“It's my duty to serve and protect so you owe me nothing, but I do have one favour but it won't cause you a dine and it also has to do with your daughter as well," Mr Scott said softly. 

“What would this favor be," William asked hesitantly. 

“My daughter Bella wants to meet your daughter Charlie, I was telling her how much alike they both were. Long story short she got interested when I told her that Charlie helped me took some bad guys down. So, if you don’t mind my daughter giving your daughter this card, let charlie contact Bella," Mr Scott said as he stopped in front of Munchy's closed door with the number 042 in big and bold black ink. 

"It would be my pleasure, I'll give the card to my daughter and once again thank you," William said before turning the door knob to enter the room. 

 

 

 Munchy's POV 

I could hear faint voices at my cell door, I was curious as to what both persons were uttering but the thickness of the wall wouldn't allow it. But one thing for sure, was that I had a visitor and I wonder who it is. 

 

 End of Munchy's POV 

I sighed as I pulled my foot so that I could enter the room. 

"William is that you," Munchy asked with surprise evident in her voice. 

"Ugh yeah its me how are you doing," William asked as he sat down on a chair across from Munchy. 

"In here gives me the creep, I wish I did things differently you know. I messed things up big time you probably hate me but please forgive me. I know I blamed you for a lot of things you didn't do, I know I didn't treat my children as best as I should have but I can make things right as a family so what do you say will you give us another shot?" Munchy asked with hope in her eyes. 

"As you mentioned the kids, Charlie, Carter and I wrote a letter of some rules we all should follow and some lovely quotes to help motivate us all in keeping the family together and this time no lies, no secrets, nothing but the truth. We will all reunite as a family but if the rules and regulations are not followed then the plan will not work and the family will fall apart again, so we’ve all decided to print a copy of all the rules and quotes that we will all abide by and we’ve all signed our signatures to agree already, am sorry you can’t get to read them as yet because its quite a lot of information and time is against us, but you have to sign your signature more than once so that as a family we will see that you agree to this query and if you disagree it means that you regret everything we’ve ever created. And yes I forgive you, we all have somethings in the past we aren't proud of and if we could go back and change some of the decisions we make then we all would," William said with a knowing smile. 

"I'll sign right away, I can read the letter and quotes later am so happy you all took this into consideration," Munchy stated with a bright smile. 

"Good your making the right decision, now your make it clear that family matters," William said with patience. 

"Do you have a pen," Munchy asked with with her brows raised. 

"Yes I do dear," William said teasingly. 

 

 10 minutes later 

 

 Williams POV 

She signed the divorce papers, my plan worked oh my god, finally am free!!!!!!!! 

 

 End of Williams POV 

"I must get going now munch I have a meeting to attend to okay," William said as he stand up with the paper in his hand and about to walk towards the door but he was stopped by Munchy's question. 

"Aren't you going to leave the paper behind, you said I could read it after?" Munchy questioned completely confused. 

"Thanks for signing the divorce papers Munchy, you seriously think I would forgive you so easily after everything you put me through? You wanted me dead and if it wasn't for my secretary that called me I would be dead man right now, and what's shocking the most is that you cheated on me with my best friend and I had to find out by his phone. Do you just expect me to just forget and let go off what you did? Shouldn't you know better than to know that your kids hate your guts and can you blame them? You didn't just caused me pain you caused your children pain as well, Munchy you wanted to kidnap your own daughter and you expect her to get past that so quickly, I don't understand but were you planning on killing the whole family? And for the heads up everyone hates your guts. Am happy you signed the divorce papers cause your making me a free man. Now am gonna go find the love of my life that will appreciates me, I do hope you have a nice life and if you plan on filing for any of the kids I've already filed for them both and guess what there both stuck with me," William stated before he slammed the door.

    ° The Next Day, Ben Met Denin at the location, he will soon fin out alot °

"Good, your here, follow me" Denin said, as he brings Ben to the group

                      "HELLO!!!" said the group

"Yo" Ben said 

"Some of these kids are a different type of form, most of them are Exterbits" Denin said 

"Ok, What's the forms" Ben said 

"Ok, there are : "Deathforms", "Mircoforms", "Triforms", "Multiforms" "Subforms" and the best one, "Epiforms"

"What do each form do" Ben said

"I was getting to that" 

"The Deathforms are just like Exterbits, but, they are half god and half alien, The Mircoforms, have the power to  turn themselves small or big. They can also turn their enemy small or big. Triforms, can make clones of themselves to confuse their enemy. Multiforms are the same as Triforms, but they are stronger and they can make clones of themselves and their enemies.
Subforms are the weakest, they only have 25% alien DNA, thecrest is human. I saved the best for last, The Epiforms, Ben, me and you are Epiforms, including Ken. Epiforms can make planets and god weapons, Epiforms are not to be played with, they are the strongest in the group" Denin explained 

"One more thing, take this, it's legendary, it's my gods sword, that I found Damien with, it's now yours" Denin added

"Thanks" Ben said, as he takes the sword

 SEASON 2


P.S.

THIS IS A CONTINUATION FROM "In The End: The Outcast Rises", READ THAT BOOK FIRST, THEN COME BACK TO THIS ONE. 

 
 THANKS.

1925: London.

Rebirth. Such an amazing concept. 

It has been mentioned in almost every religion, and language alive. Punarjanm in Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, and a few other Indian Languages, Reincarnation in English, and Isekai in weeb.

But until recently, it was just that. A concept. With no proof, only speculations, and a lot of fantasies. Humans are.. weird.

What happened recently, you ask? Recently, I went to sleep as a 24 year old Indian man, and woke up as a 5 year old British kid. In 1924, London.

Well, I screamed a lot when I first woke up, and went to scratch my balls to find my dick an inch long, with the balls up my groin. It was.. a weird feeling.

But then, I got the memories of the body's previous owner. Mason Aves. 

An Orphan living in the Stockwell Orphanage, for boys and girls, Mason was a quiet kid. He used to stay alone, and either read books, or play with his toy soldiers. His father was unknown, while his mother's name was Marigold Aves. 

Marigold Aves, was a woman who came from nothing, raised in the same orphanage as him. She was brought there as a babe, by her father, who claimed he did not want to raise her. 

The older caretakers would tell him stories of her, to keep him at least a little bit social, and it worked. Mason began to listen to his mother's stories, and he began to love her image.

Marigold then went on to go to a finishing school, and became a nurse, to help out during the Great War. And then, after the war ended, she came back to the Orphanage, to take care of the young, like her caretakers took care of her.

Unfortunately, the good things ended there.

Marigold came home one day, crying, and then 9 months later, she died, giving birth to Mason. 28th of September, 1919, was the day Marigold Aves died, while giving birth to Mason Lucas Aves.

Mason did not realize what exactly happened, but I did. Marigold was either raped, or manipulated into having sex with someone she did not like, and I don't know which was worse.

And here begins the story of Mason Lucas Aves. He listened to his mother's stories, and decided to become like her. While he couldn't become a Nun like his mother was, he decided he needed to care for people. So he did it, in his own way.

He read stories for the babes, he played with those younger than him, saved them from the older bullies, or at least tried to, and got beat up by them. He was still a lonely boy, though. 

The kids, while playing with him readily, were also quick to push him aside while talking amongst each other. They just.. didn't connect, while talking. So he kept on reading the same story books, again and again. Hoping for friends, but getting only acquaintances. 

But he never gave up on trying to become like his mother. It was after one such beating, when Sister Agnes patched him up, he decided he wanted to become a doctor.

Unfortunately, he almost failed to live to see that day.

It was about a year ago when it happened. Mason was reading, sitting under the tree, while the older kids were playing football in the playing ground. Unfortunately, it was not his lucky day.

The football, kicked by a 13 year old boy, managed to swing through the air, and smack Mason right in the forehead. That wasn't it, though. Thanks to the fact that Mason was only barely 5, and that he was sitting leaning on the tree, the back of his head smacked to the knot of the tree, right behind him.

He was unconscious for 2 days, after which, he woke up with a headache. The headache persisted for a few days, until now.

When I woke up, with his memories added. If I'm actually the British Mason, or the Indian Chinmay, I don't know. I just know that I have memories of having lived through both of those lives, with the same intensity in both of them.

It's not like I know for a fact that I, THE ME, am Chinmay with Mason's memories, or that I'm definitely Mason with Chinmay's memories. But it is one of those two.

Fuck it, I'd rather be both, than just one of them.

Chinmay's story is boring, not even a bit exciting. He was 24, had completed his Master's in Physics, but was waiting on the results, which were delayed because of a virus called Covid-19. So, yup, he was jobless. (A/N: THAT'S ME!!!)

He had a satisfactory relationship with his family, while his friends would only occasionally talk. Frankly, he was a loner too. But that was by choice. He did not like people, least of all those that spoke at him.

So, yeah. Chinmay died. Mason died. And now I'm here. Both, yet none.

This year that I've been here, I've been living my life as I usually would. I played with the children, and even joined those my age in playing catch a bit. I helped out the Sisters, with cleaning dishes, making beds, and just generally helped around. And I also read stories, and talked with the babies.

Sure, living in 1924 London was not my ideal place to be reborn in, but I could manage. I had a Master's degree in Physics! Granted I failed 9 out of 16 subjects the first time, but still! I was going to pass this time, I know that!

So, yes. My reading level drastically improved. From nursery rhymes, I switched to small poem books, just so my jump is not too high, and unnatural. Then, I read Agatha Christie, the Man in the Brown suit, which had just come out, and I did like Detective Novels.

Thank God, for Orphanage Library. It was always being refilled, and new books added to it, once they get in the market.

Although, their single quotes did piss me off at first, I got used to it. While Indians, like normal people, use double quotes for dialogue, and single quotes for thoughts, and quote within quotes, the British are opposite. They use single for dialogue, and double for thoughts! Preposterous!

And I'm sounding like a Posh British person. Ahem, moving on. I got used to that shit soon enough.

From that, I moved on to other Agatha Christie books, which prompted me to "He's smart." From "He's cute." Then, I began reading Sherlock Holmes books, which were decidedly more entertaining than Agatha Christie, but don't tell her that.

Anyway, I spent my year reading many such fictional books, all the while assuming I was in my own world, in Chinmay's own past, preparing to take over the world with my Scientific innovations.

Boy was I wrong.

~~Food! That rat looks very tasty. I think it'll keep me full for days! That's it, stay there!~~

I hear a raspy voice, on the morning of my sixth birthday, and I turn to it, listening wide eyed, to the one sided dialogue, happening a couple feet left of me.

The dialogue carried by a snake, which was about to eat a small rat. To be fair, the snake was barely a foot long, so it might just fill it up for a few days. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!

I CAN HEAR THE SNAKE TALKING! AND I CAN UNDERSTAND IT?!

~~Oh, shit.~~ I whispered, still looking at the snake, who was now constricting the rat, after biting in it's neck.

The snake snaps it's head towards me, and drops the still alive rat. It slithers towards me, making me crawl back towards the tree, and says, ~~A SPEAKER! I so, so wished to meet one of your kind, when that weird snake told me about speakers! Nice to meet you, Speaker!~~

"Oh, shit." I whisper, again, looking at the honest to God, excited snake, which was talking to me, from the ground a foot away from me.

This cannot be happening. THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING! How the fuck? I thought it was just past! But no, it had to be the Harry Potter past! FUCK! Okay, calm yourself, and reply to the still talking snake.

~~...er! SPEAKER! Can you understand me? Maybe he's not a speaker after all. Well, better get out of here before he kills me~~ the snake says, and turns it's back to me, moving to go towards the suffering rat.

~~WAIT!~~ I whisper-shout, pointing my hand towards the snake, who immediately stops.

~~AH-HAH! So you are a speaker?~~The snake says, straightening up, and slithering back towards me. It raises it's head, and continues, ~~Did you not want to talk with me, Speaker? Is it because I'm young? No wait. It's because I'm black, isn't it? I knew it. That weird snake did say lighter humans don't like darker skins. I should have expected it applies to snakes too.~~

~~By God, do you ever shut up?~~ I finally say, stopping it's racism rant. Buddy, I'm from 2020, India. I'm already woke.

Shaking my head, I point towards the still barely alive poisoned rat, and say, ~~Finish your food, and then come here. We'll talk then.~~

The snake nods, and goes towards the rat, thankfully, silently.

Talking snake. Speaker. Parseltongue. Harry Potter. 1924! Holy shit, I was related to Voldemort! He could talk to snakes too!

Damnit, my memories! They're not as good as they used to be! What was that thing, they used to do with their minds? Occlude-mency? Occlumency! That's it! I need to learn that! ASAP!

Maybe that'll help me write some of the books I'd read as Chinmay, and even "discover" some new knowledge.

The snake finished it's eating, more like swallowing, within the minute I was overthinking, and trying not to be overwhelmed, and came and flicked it's tongue, licking the back of my hand.

I snap out of it, and pull my hand away. ~~Can you not, do that?~~ I ask, snapping at the snake.

The snake tilts it's head, and says, ~~You were dreaming. The others wake me up when I'm dreaming. I did too! Now, are we talking, or what?~~

I look at it in suspicion, and ask, ~~You're a weird snake, aren't you?~~

~~I'm a smart snake!~~ it corrects me. It says, ~~No other snake, other than the weird one that visits us sometimes, can talk as much as I can! I'm Magical, he said!~~

Again with that weird snake. I shake my head, and look around. No one was there in the ground, and it was still too early for the kids to come out to play.

I lay my hand down, and say, ~~Climb up, and hide near my stomach. We'll talk once we're inside.~~

It looks at me hand weirdly, and says, ~~You're one of those Perverts, aren't you?~~

~~FOR FUCK'S SAKE! JUST GET IN! I'M 6 YEARS OLD YOU DUMB SNAKE, AND PERVERTS ARE USUALLY OLDER~~ I shout, slapping my hand down, hard enough to make it hurt.

~~Usually! You just said, Usually! And that's not the kind of language I expect from a baby human.~~ the snake says, but still goes up my arm, and inside my shirt.

I stay silent, ignoring the talkative snake, and get up, walking towards my room.

Thank God for orphanage hand me down clothes. Or hiding the snake wouldn't have been possible.

Let's interrogate the snake now, and see what he knows. Maybe I'm just going crazy, and there's no wizards here. Hope so that they are, though.

~~~

A/N: Okay, hey guys! This is an idea I just had, and I just had to write it down! I have way too much time on my hands.

Anyway, the MC, which is me, is reborn as Mason Lucas Aves. Mason's birthday is 28th August, 1919, which is about 7 years before Tom Riddle. He'll join Hogwarts on 1st September, 1930, which is 8 years before Tom Riddle, so there'll be no contact between them. 

Literally each and every character in the story, at least in the beginning, will be OCs, except for the teachers, and a few well known families. Pairing is almost decided, but I'd still like to wait until the story gets there to announce.

MC won't prevent Voldemort, but he'll take advantage of it. Which side he'll be on? I think you already know.

Anyway, you might have already guessed who his Father is, given there's only two options, and one of them is old. His mother is simply a Nun, orphaned at birth by her father abandoning her.

No secret back story at all, no sir. Nope. I'm not telling and you can't make me!

This story is second priority to me, and the first priority will be my other story, "The Legend of Baldur." 

Anyway, Caio!

Summary: I was 6 years old, when I realized I was not simply reborn in the country that ruled over my own.. previous country, and in the time when said oppression was going on. Read on to find what I do in the Magical world of Harry Potter.

~~NO HAREM!~~

I won't focus much on his school life, as you might judge by the tags. But yes, I'll start in school, so don't worry.

SHOUT OUT TO MY OWN BOOK, "THE LEGENDS OF BALDUR!" READ IT IF YOU HAVEN'T!

The day after the storm, we are taking pictures of the demage for Mrs Penny, she called from the hospital that it needs to be done for insurance, that Mr Penny is now stable and resting after a rough night, a little to formiliar, may still be dealing emotionally with my mortality.

We took many photos to cover everything, we load them to the desktop in the study, load as a USB and email file, dad does some of his own research, sends photos in to websites for quotes, he gets 3 adds those to the photo file and emails Mrs Penny.

Amber jokes this is a full service family, a pit crew for a cause, that gave me a idea.

I don't know if I will fully run with the idea but what if we had a full time space for the youth to experience doing pit stops, not just for the sick ones but all of them at some affordable prices for different packages. 

I write down the idea will keep thinking about it, don't want to add to much too soon when there is still a few other things that are in planning.

Around super time Mrs Penny calls again to thank dad and all of us for our help and for permission to swing by some time tomorrow to discuss something dad invites her for super.

Maybe collium is bigger then yes but No's are biggest. The four women in my life are scrolling webpages making notes, checking prices and making some funny faces at products that really question some people following designers.

I am suggesting to have hot chocolate and cheese cake, it's been doley noted. 

"Slow head way is still head way",says Dad who also informs me that he is planning a feast for lunch tomorrow as he figures Mrs Penny is sick of the hospital food while staying with her husband and he would know. Feels lasagna and garlic bread and garden salad would be nice, so I got roped into shredding cheese duty. I think Dad was making a point of takes time and is layered for planning.

Tony and I end up playing some cards, crazy eights and he won twice.

I'm not sure why but that night I had a very hard time sleeping, although it could have been that they have been neighbors and friends of my parents before I was even born, they are like grandparents to me, Tony and I played with there kids but didn't really bond that well, but still almost all of the neighbors around us have been here as long as us maybe a few longer then that.

Breakfast was delicious, we all skipped the swim Nd got busy helping Dad in the kitchen, the girls cleaning and preparing the table nicely and they did do a good job on setting it, the ladies preparing the vegetables, chopping onions, celery, green pepper and tomatoes, they were also getting the salad ready, I was shredding cheese, lots of cheese, Tony preparing the beef and Dad the noodles, we all worked well together.

Amber asked how long we had known them so our whole conversation during meal preparation was a trip down memory lane. It started with me saying "all my life like extra grandparents" Tony added "I feel like they ended up the blocks extra grandparents, I mean there kids were what 5 years older then us? but it was just the way all of us got something from them at holidays and birthdays" dad also brought up the other side "the number of casseroles and baked goods when none of us felt like cooking with my wife's cancer, times we ate and cried together after she passed, bless their hearts, always there when needed".

"Sounds nice" Amber said she looked a bit sad, "My mom did that before we moved due to her treatment, we didn't really socialize outside of her treatments, just focused on making as many memories together as we could with balancing my work to afford all the payments, I need to decide about the house" we pause I break the silence " what do you mean sweetie?" she looks around at us all, "I don't know if you noticed but it's hard for me to be there, I am thinking of selling and with this families blessing move in here and look at a real physio gym location to operate with others".

I begin to wonder if I should have known that, the oven timer goes off all the food is ready and to our surprise a knock on the about 15 mins early but right on time food wise.

We all welcome her on and true to form for Mrs Penny she has little simple gifts for each of us even Amber, Dad had called her Christmas eve and told her of the engagement news, hand knitted items she made well sitting with her husband in hospital, hats, mitts and scarfs, we all went to sit at the table and you could see she appreciated this thoughtfulness.

"May I say the blessing" she asked, slightly choked up, so she prayed a beautiful blessing that included her appreciation for us as neighbors and we all said amen.

"Let me get right to the point, doctors are telling me that with my husband's health the way it is, a big house in disrepair like it is, isn't suitable for him to return home to, so...I have talked it over with him and thanks to Mr Mooses research and quotes and talking to insurance that inform me we would get lower then needed...I would like to discuss if Tony or Jonathan would be interested in buying the house to fix up for their families..no pressure to you of course... Jonathan and Amber no pressure on creating children just a option to consider." she takes a deep breath then continues "With how amazing you have all been through out the years I, we wanted to offer it to you first, we will be looking for something one floor and could still have our children and their families visit, we don't really want to leave the community or leave this area to far"

Cataleya POV:
    Mulan finally came downstairs and we all left out. We decided to take my big truck becuz Mia was coming with us and I needed her car seat. We arrived at the spa 20 mins later and decided to get an hour massage and a 30 min mud bath. 2 hours later we are pulling up to our favorite BBQ place. Hey mama Jones we say as we enter the building. Hey babies you all want the usual. Yes, mama Jones we say as we sit at our table. Girl that massage felt so damn good Imani say. I know right I did not want to leave. My body feels like I been relaxing for weeks. (Laughing) mama Jones brings our drinks and started playing with Mia. Ohh, mama Jones this is the newbie Nyla. Welcome to the family baby, call me mama Jones, let me go check on your food.
    She is so sweet Nyla says. Ya, she is basically like our mom. We been coming here since we were a Freshman in high school. We were just laughing and talking when mama Jones started bringing our food out. We were eating and talking when Desmond walked in. I see Mulan grip her fork as she seen him walked in with another female. Hey mama Jones he says smiling. Boy you do not have permission to call me that. She showed him the table and asked what he want and walked away rolling her eyes. We bust out laughing and the girl Desmond was with mean mugged us. That just set Mulan off. Bitch do not be mean mugging anyone with your ugly man looking ass. I started laughing so hard I thought I was about to pee on myself.
    I stopped laughing and we all jumped up when we heard the girl call Mulan a bitch and started charging at her. No ain't none of that in here, Desmond you and your little chicken head must go. I am sorry Mrs. Jones come on girl. Once we knew they was gone we all sat down. I cannot stand that bum ass nigga, mama Jones says. (Laughing) Mama Jones is so funny but she tells you like it is, she has no filter. Once we were done eating we decided to gone head and go to the mall while our food digest before we go to the escape room. We pulled up to the mall 30 mins later becuz we went to the mall where they have the name brand shit. I grabbed Mia stroller becuz I knew my baby was about to be sleep soon, and I do not want to carry her the whole time.
    I went to forever 21 to look for my outfit and Nyla came with me, while Mulan and Imani went to Gucci or Chanel. We all agreed to meet up at Victoria Secret in an hour. Ya'll are mad cool, Nyla tells me. I know right but we crazy too. (lol) Thank you for giving me a chance. Welcome us females must stick together. If you have our back we have your back. Thank you she says again hugging me, I got ya'll backs. Good now let us look for our outfits. We were looking around for like 15 mins when I finally seen the perfect outfit. I pick up the blue jean spaghetti strap jumpsuit that have emoji's and quotes all over. I grabbed my size then I saw a black jean jacket that had the emoji's and quotes, so I grabbed that too.
    Now that I had my outfit I went to look for Nyla and seen a man trying to talk to her and she kept telling him she not interested. She kept trying to walk away but he kept blocking her way. Hey girl you ready, I seen her breathe a sigh of relief. No, she not ready you see her talking to me, rude bitch. I walked up to him, what did you call me. Bitch who do you think you are? I moved my stuff out the way and I grabbed his arm and twisted that shit behind his back. He started screaming like a little bitch. Now let us try that again, what did you call me. Let me go bro he says screaming. Apologize first. He was quiet so I twisted his arm some more, he screamed again. Damn I am sorry, let me go please. I let him go learn how to talk to women.
  Nyla and I then went to Payless to look for some shoes. I found the perfect shoes they are laces wedges. I helped Nyla found some shoes since her outfit is a rainbow jumpsuit, we found some rainbow wedges. They are black on top and it got the tip of her feet out and the rainbow is on the wedges part of her shoes. We paid for our shoes and headed for bath and body works. We walked in and seen Imani and Mulan already in there. We walked over to them, what ya'll hoes doing? Fuck you hoe, Imani says. (lol) I went to look to see if they had my favorite set. I was just about to start whining when I see my Strawberry Lemonade body wash. lotion, and perfume.
  Once we were done in Bath and Body Work we went to Victoria Secret. I got 4 pair of boy shorts and 2 sets of lace panties and bras. I then got a couple pair of panties that is like swim panties. Once everyone was done we headed to the car. My baby was still knocked out, so I knew I was gone have to call her nanny. I put her in her car seat and put her stroller back in the trunk. Once we put our bags in the car, we headed to my house to put our stuff up. Once we pulled up to the house everyone went to go put they stuff in the room. I grabbed my bags and Mia and locked my car up. I finally got inside the house and went upstairs to put Mia in her crib. Once I laid her down I went to my room and put my stuff up. I then decided to get in the shower and put some joggers on becuz I hate being hot.
Kareem POV:
   I wake up to my phone ringing. I look at the caller ID to see it is my day 1 calling. Wassupp nigga, come open the door nigga I been knocking for 10 mins. I hang up and rush to the bathroom to brush my teeth before going to open the door. Wassupp nigga we say dapping and doing out handshake. Where your key at nigga? Shit in my other pocket at the house. Always leaving something anyways you ready for tomorrow night. Hell, Ya I hope it is some fine hoes there. You already know my nigga we say dapping up. I then hear my baby girl lil feet running downstairs yelling uncle Maine (short for Tremaine). 
   She jumped on him and this dumb fool gone start pouting and fake crying talking about she hurt him. She started pouting I am sorry uncle Maine. It is okay princess he says and started tickling her. Stop uncle Maine she says laughing to hard. Looking at them play my mind start to wonder. When Liyah (short for Aaliyah) was just 2 weeks old, her mother abandoned us for some broke drug dealer. How could she leave our beautiful kids? She was my first love so when she left I was broken but I had to stay strong for my kids. That was 2 years ago though and I am doing better but I have not dated since then. I just fuck and duck that way I do not get hurt again.
  I was interrupted from my daydream when I heard the doorbell. I got up to answer the door. When I opened the door, I stood their shock. Yo bro what are you doing here Keisha (kids' mother). I came to see my kids. (Laughing) What kids becuz you left my kids. I still have rights to them. Says who you lost your rights when you left remember that paper you signed. Look I am sorry my mind was just everywhere I just had a baby and I just felt like my life was over and boring. You could have told me that I would have done anything for you. I am sorry she says trying to touch me. 
  I backed away and I felt little hands go around my leg. Daddy who is that my baby asked mean mugging her. I wanted to laugh but I wanted her to respect her elders, so I told her to apologize. She said she was sorry and then hid behind my leg again. I am your mother Keisha says. I mean mugged her, no you are not you lost that title when you left. Dad can I get some juice my son came downstairs asking. When he saw who was at the door I knew he remember Keisha and I hated that becuz I saw the pain in his eyes. I cried almost every night when she left becuz my son always asked why his mother did not love them. 
   Dad what is she doing here. I do not know son; I say looking back at Keisha. I came to see my kids. We are not your kids you left us; Raheem says before taking off upstairs. Liyah go back in the living room with Uncle Maine for a min. Okay daddy she says before taking off into the living room. Look Keisha you cannot come here after 2 years and expect everything to be cool like you did not leave us. You did not come back for your kids so what is the real reason you here. I need a place to stay for a while Derrick left me and took everything I own. I do not feel sorry for you Karma is a bitch. 
   You cannot stay here but I will give you some money you can stay in a hotel until you get unto your feet. I gave her all the money that was in my pocket which was a few thousands. Once she got the money she just left no thank you or nothing. I am happy she is gone though. I went back in the house, I told Maine to watch her while I ran upstairs to check on Raheem. I open his door to see him in bed laying down crying. It broke my heart to see him like this. I sat on his bed and told him to come here. I got in my lap, but he would not let me see his face. 
   I just held him for a while until he stopped crying and he looked up to me and asked why  Keisha was here. She needed some money, but she is gone, and you do not have to worry about her again. So, she really did not come back for us, he says looking down. It broke my heart to see my kids like this. Hey, I say lifting his chin up do not ever look down. She just does not know how amazing you are and talented. I am so honored to be your father. You never have to worry about anything and if you ever need anything or need someone to talk to I am here. 
  My kids may be 4 and 2 but they are very mature and intelligent. My son is 4 but he is very smart since the day Keisha left it is like something clicked in him and he has been so helpful and loves his little sister. He is beyond his years he already knows 1st grade stuff. Come on get dressed let us go have some fun to get our mind off bad stuff. I left his room and asked Maine if he wanted to go to Incrediplex with us. Of course, his big kid ass started jumping up and down talking about Ya. Laughing at his dumb ass I grab Liyah to take her upstairs to put on some comfortable clothes. 
  Once everyone was dressed we get downstairs to see Maine doing tik tok. We bust out laughing at him scaring him which mad us laugh harder. Ya'll will not be laughing if I had a heart attack. Come on dummy I say while everybody walking towards the car. I lock up my house and we get in the car heading to Incrediplex. 30 mins later we are pulling up and we all started dancing. Laughing we all got out the car and went inside and paid and got some glowing socks. We were having so much fun when I saw Raheem looking somewhere with his fist balled. Looking where he was looking I saw Keisha with Derrick and 2 little girls and boys. I told everyone to come on we grabbed our stuff and left before I did something I would regret in front of my kids.

"I'm sorry what did you say again? Felix has what?"
"He's gone, reduced into atoms."
"Wow, very funny," I replied in sarcasm.
"Sounded funny to me. So as I've said, Felix is moving out tomorrow. The kid went on crack and decide to migrate to another country with Yyanne and Vincent."
"Oh, I see. Well, man. They sure are brave."
"Yeah, but those kids will be fine. They've got each other and it's not like they won't get any support from their parents."
"Hmm. So are they going to stay there for good?" I then asked while pouring myself some hot coffee.
"No idea. All they were they're going to finish their studies there."
"Is that so?" I said and gently blew my coffee before taking a sip. "Poor Jace, left alone by his siblings."
He laughed. "Nah! It's great actually. Now, I no longer need to stay in that freaking apartment. I have the whole house for me-self."
I shook my head. "Well, that's good. Your mom will still have some accompany."
"Yup, she was actually reluctant to let the kids go, especially Yyanne, but you know them. They'll always persist."
Hearing that brought me back to our childhood. I remember Jace and her siblings coming to our house to play with us. We would play until dawn on our little playground that dad had built us. Yyanne would even cry and insist to stay at our place when Mrs. Garcia comes to pick them up. Good old times. 
"So anyway, I got to go now," Jace said cutting me off from my thoughts. 
"Oh, sure."
"Say, you don't have any plans this afternoon, do you?"
I pondered for a bit and checked the calendar on the wall near me. April 4. "Nah, I don't. Why?"
"Perfect. I'll pick you up at your place at three. Let's hangout."
My eyebrows raised and my lips curved into a smile. "Ho-ho-ho. Hangout, huh? And just the two us?"
"Exactly. It's been a while since we last went out."
Well, now that I think about it. It sure has been quite a while now.
Knowing that I don't have anything worthwhile to do anyway, I said yes.
At school…
"Lenora."
I shuddered upon hearing someone call me by my full name. I quickly turned around and there I Ryan smiling at me.
"H-Hey," I stuttered. I don't know, hearing him say my name felt kind of different. Well, not in a bad way.
"So do you have the thing?"
I raised the folder I'm holding. "Right here." Today's the submission of the research thingy and I'm confident that we'll get a pretty high score, maybe even a perfect score actually.
He gave me a thumbs-up. "Great. Come on, let's get inside." He then went ahead and opened the door for me.
I went inside and secretly smiled because of his kind gesture. 
Almost twenty minutes passed and our teacher is still not popping out. After a while, the door creaked open.
Finally...
But I was wrong, it was not our teacher but Jace. He poked his head inside and his eyes immediately went on my way. I raised my eyebrows at him questioningly. He beckoned me to come over.

"Did your teacher leave?" he asked when I got close.
"Nope, he hasn't even entered yet," I answered and close the door behind me. "So what is it?"
He scratched the back of his head and looked bothered. "Well about our plan this afternoon…"
"What about it?" I asked, still clueless about what he wants to say.
"I—I'm afraid I can't come. They gave us a lot of work in the office so we had to work 'till noon."
Oh, I thought it was something else. I shrugged. "Well, it's okay. It's no big deal."
"Th-thanks, but I promise next time I'll treat you to a five-star restaurant."
I crossed my arms. "Are you sure about that?"
He raised his right hand and swore. "Yup. I solemnly swear."
"Fine, fine. I'll be looking forward to that. Now go, today's your defense, right?"
His eyes widened upon the sudden realization. "Shoot! I nearly forgot. I—'ll go ahead then. I'm really sorry about that, Laura."
"We're cool. Good luck with your defense!"
"Thanks, babe!" he said and laughed as he sprinted away leaving me speechless.
Babe. Sheesh.	

"Was that Jace?" asked Ryan when I got back inside.
"Yup, apparently our 'date' is canceled," I answered with air quotes.
He chuckled. "Oh."
"Uhm, what is your relationship with Jace if you don't mind me asking? Are you like just friends or do you have something—"
"Oh no, no, no," I snickered. "Me and Jace? We're just close friends."
"I—I see. That's good then." 
I don't know what he meant by that but anyway…
"I can't even imagine us actually going out together as a couple," I continued. The mere thought of it is enough to make me grimace. 
Though, now that I think about it. I wonder when will that guy plan to get himself a girl. I'm pretty sure he had already moved on from his ex by now.
"Hey, Ryan."
He turned around. "Yeah?"
"Do you have a girlfriend?" 
"Nope. I don't. Never had one yet," he immediately answered, more like eagerly actually.
I just nodded in response. "For you, what do you think is the right time or age to be in a relationship? 
"Sorry if I'm asking such things so suddenly. I'm just a little bored you see," I immediately explained after. It seems our teacher isn't coming anyway.
"Nah, it's fine. I'm a bit bored too actually," he answered. "Well, about that. I think there isn't really the right time. An appropriate age? Yes, there is. But the right time? I don't think so. I believe it just comes randomly."
"Fair point. But for me, I think the 'right time' does exist" I said making air quotes again. "I mean, as you've said it comes randomly, right?  That means the moment you met that person must be considered the right time then, right?"
"Fair point. But for me, I think the 'right time' does exist" I said making air quotes again. "I mean, as you've said it comes randomly. Then that means the moment you met that person must be considered the right time then, right?"
He nodded. "Makes sense. Though I think what you're talking about is when you'll be able to find the one," he said and I smiled when he also did the air quotes. "You wouldn't know if that person is actually the one you'll be settling with right away. Who knows, you'll eventually break-up because it turns out he or she is apparently not the one for you."
"Wow. You sure do know a lot about this stuff. Now I doubt if you really never had a girlfriend before?" 
"Nah. I swear, I never had any experience," he chuckled. "I just got those from books, films, and other stuff."
"Ah, no wonder." 
"You can learn a thing or two from them I guess."
"Well, that's the reason why they make them. They want to convey a message to their audience. It could be about life, school, work… love."
"Say, Laura?"
"Yes," I said, still staring in front.
"What would you feel if a guy tells you that he likes you?"
I faced him. "You mean like a friend?"
"No. As a woman.," he said. His eyes went on mine which made me froze for a second.
Feeling a little uneasy, I looked away. "A-as a woman, huh?"
"Yes."
"I… I don't know. I mean, naturally, I'd be shocked."
"Okay. Thanks for answering."
Hearing that gave me relief especially when he looked away. Sheesh. This guy sure caught me off guard with that one.
Though as I've said, I'd be shocked if a guy would confess in front of me. Not to mention it'll be my first time to experience such a thing if it does happen. 
Time went fast and it was finally time to go home. And Thanks God It's Friday. I can finally sleep without being disturbed by my 6:30 alarm in the morning.
I decided to find someplace first so I decided to take another exit that which is nearer to the food stalls and restos. 
I was on my way to the other building when I ran across two familiar faces. Well, well, well. If it isn't the nephews of the Academic Director.
A smile appeared on their face upon seeing me. 
"Sup, Laura," said Blane and beside him was Daniel waving his hand at me.
"Hi, I'm on my way to grab some lunch. I didn't know you have classes in the afternoon."
"Every Friday, yes," answered Robert.
"I see."
"By the way, who was that guy I saw with you before in the cafeteria yesterday, if you don't mind me asking?" asked Daniel.
Yesterday? Oh, it must have been Ryan.
"Uh some friend," I briefly answered. Blaine looks convinced but judging by the way Daniel grinned after hearing that, I already know what he is thinking. "Oh please Daniel, he is just a friend."
The jerk laughed. "What? I didn't say anything."
"Whatever. It's not like that."
"If you say so," he said but I can still see him grinning.
"But that's good. Make new friends too or else everyone will really think that something is going on between you and Jace again.
Ah, that indeed reminds me during the time everyone believed Jace and I were together, not to mention Mrs. Garcia had a lot to do about it because even she herself thought and told people that Jace was courting me. Rumors then spread like wildfire and voila! Everyone believed it. I can't even count how many times I had explained to people that we weren't especially to my parents. I received an earful from them because of that especially since were just like sixteen or seventeen during that time.
"That would be another hell of a pain in the neck if that happens." I then glared at them and pointed at their faces. Now don't go spreading rumors or else, especially you Daniel"
He quickly threw his hands in the air. "Yo chill, girl. We won't."
"Good."
After we said our goodbyes and gave them a couple of threats of mine, I went on my way. I picked up the pace when I was already near the exit for I am really starving now.
The warm sunlight greeted me as soon as I stepped out of the shadows of the building. It didn't take me long to choose where I want to eat. Fast food rule! While I was eating, I remembered my conversation with the two guys a while ago.
I wonder if Ryan has gone home already? He and his group should be finished with their presentation by now. 
Thankfully, I didn't have to wait for hours in line. After paying for my food, I went upstairs to go to my usual spot beside the glass wall. I was in luck because no one has occupied it yet, so I didn't waste any second and walked straight towards the spot. 
From here I can clearly see the people and vehicles going around the city as well as the well-known city park nearby. In the middle of the park was a lake where a lot of people can be seen rowing the colorful boats they rented. It seems the fountain isn't on though. I checked the time and it was still 12:30. 
No wonder, they close it at twelve and open it again at three in the afternoon. The lake could use a little bit of cleaning though. It's been a while since they did so.
After a while, I was in the middle of taking off a fiber of meat stuck between my teeth when my phone lying on the table notified me. I took a peek and it was a message from Ryan.
With a quick swipe, I unlocked the phone and read the message.
"WE GOT A PERFECT SCORE! LOLOLOLOL," it said.
"Okay…," I answered as If I wasn't impressed just to tease.
My phone chimed a few seconds after I sent that.
"Come on. A simple "Congratulation, you're so cool" would suffice."
Reading that put a smile on my face. "Okay…" I just answered again and then I received a sad emoji followed by an angry face which made me laugh.
I can already imagine that annoyed look on his face. "You angry?" I typed with an innocent face emoji.
"LOLOLOL NO. 
Where are you anyway?" he said.
"Take a guess."
"In the toilet, eating your lunch?"
"Eww, no way!"
"Haha. Just kidding. But seriously, where are you rn?"
"McWillie's. Was craving for their chicken. And if your fast enough, you could still get some fires."
"LOL No thanks. I'm already stuffed. Robert treated us for lunch."
"Is that so? Luck you then, that guy is filthy rich."
"Sure is. He ordered a lot of stuff. A little waste of money though, since we weren't able to eat everything they've placed on our table."
"Aww. Says the guy who spends a fortune for his fancy clothes."
"My clothes don't even look fancy at all," he answered and spammed some laughing emojis.
"But still expensive."
"Well, I can't lie about that."
"Anyway, I better get out of here already so…ttyl?"
"Sure, sure. Later," He answered with a flying kiss emoji which made me laugh.

[REWORKING]

"Hey Kaachan?" 8 year old Izuku asked while he and Katsuki were on one of their nature walks.

"What's up 'Zuku," He asked, throwing a stick out of the path.

"What are second genders? I know we were talking about them today in class but I kinda zoned out," The green haired child said. 

"Really Izuku? How did you 'zone out'?" He asked, doing air quotes. "That was like the one lesson that you needed to listen to. It's going to affect the rest of our lives!"

"I know, I'm sorry Kaachan," Izuku said, looking at the ground.

Sighing, Kacchan said, "Everyone at the age of 13 gets a second gender; Alpha, Beta, or Omega. Alpha's are the cool ones, they are the big guys that protect their Beta or Omega mate. Beta's are a mix of Alpha's and Omega's but the guys can't have kids. Omega's are the ones that need protecting and have the babies. Omegas never become heroes! Omega's go into heat 4 days a month. That's when they are in a lot of pain and need to be near someone that they love platonically or romantically. Everyone gets a mark that tells them of their mate's quirk and that's how we find them and what our second gender is. Omegas soul marks are on their wrists, Beta's are on their shoulder blades and Alphas are on their shoulder."

"Oh, that sound's cool," Izuku said, happily. "What do you think you will be?"

Bakugou grinned. "Obviously an Alpha! Have you seen my quirk? It's definitely Alpha material!"

"I wanna be an Alpha too!" He said, pumping a fist in the air and they continued on their journey happy. Little did they know this happiness wouldn't last…

Izuku and Katsuki were best friends until Katsuki found out that he was an Omega. He bullied Izuku thinking that he was an Alpha. But when he finds out that Izuku is an Omega too he falls into a depression and vows to make sure no one hurts Izuku again.

***Mentions of suicide***

Halos limang minuto na ang nagdaan pagkagising, pero nakatingin na naman ako sa kisame ng kwarto ko; iniisip ang mga kung anu-anong bagay na palaging bumabagabag sakin tulad ng ano nga ba ang 'kulay' ng mga kulay? Ga'no kaya ka pula ang pula? Na, pag tungtong ko ng highschool, do'n ko lang pala malalaman na 'di limitado sa green ang kulay ng mga dahon, nakakatawa sa iba, oo, pero sa kalagayan ko, imposible talaga 'to para maging isang 'common knowledge'.  Paano, ang common kasi sa mga paningin ko ay parang kung ano ang tawag ng mga 'normal' sa mga makalumang pelikula – Black and White.
      
      Natatawa ako sa sarili ko everytime na ang mga tao, agad-agad ang description sa isang black and white na palabas, ay 'for oldies'-makaluma.     

      Basta black and white, malamang, para sa kanila, makaluma na. Yun ang trip nila e. Hayaan na lang. Kalimutan na lang. Pero 'di ko inaasahang ipapaalala sa'kin 'to ulit nang may pina-panood akong pelikula sa mga estudyante kong mga bata kahapon. 'Di naman ako naba-bother, sadyang napapaisip lang ako kung may mag-iiba ba sa akin, sa buhay ko, kung matino ang mga mata ko? Kaya ba matured akong kumilos at mag-isip ay dahil 'for-oldies' ang paningin ko? For oldies na paningin equals for-oldies na ugali. In other words, Oo, naba-bother ako. Sobra. Mahirap kasi ang maging iba sa paningin ng iba. Lalo naman sigurong mas mahirap na iba ang panigin mo kaysa sa paningin ng iba. Teka ang gulo.
      
     Pangalawang taon ko na ring nagtuturo ngayon sa isang private elementary school kasama ang best friend ko, na kapwa ko teacher. Naisip ko kasi, bilang activity sa mga bago kong hahawakang students, ipapanood ko sa kanila ang isa sa mga bumuo sa childhood ko: The Wizard of Oz, y'ung 1939 version na pinagbidahan ni Judy Garland.  Wala pa rin kasing tatalo sa original version, alam mo 'yon?

     "Kids, we will watch an old movie today. And for your activity later, you will pass a drawing of your favorite scene of the movie. You know, this movie taught me a lot of things when I was your age. I hope this goes the same with you." sabi ko na may tonong handang makipaglaro at ma-engganyo.
 
      "Okay teacher!" sagot nila na mukha namang excited sa mga mangyayari. 
       Sabay kong nanonood ang mga estudyante ko at para bang bumalik din ako sa sariling kong kabataan. Pasulyap sulyap din ako minsan at tinitignan ang mga inosenteng reaksiyon ng mga batang 'to. Nakakatuwa.
     Maya maya, sa isang eksena kung saan si Dorothy, y'ung bidang character sa pelikula, ay nakarating na sa Oz; biglang nagtaas ng kamay ang isang student ko na parang may gustong ipalinaw sa mga nakikita niya at nalilito. Naalala ko, no'ng una ko namang napanood 'to, 'di naman ako nahirapan intindihin kung ano ang nangyayari sa pelikula. Specifically, sa parte na y'un. Malinaw pa sa tubig ulan, lumabas si Dorothy sa farmhouse nila, at nakita niya na siya ay napadpad na sa ibang lugar. Klaro. Pero mabuti na rin siguro 'yan, at least may curiousity ang batang 'to.
  
      "Yes Ethan?"

      "Teacher, I thought we're watching an old movie?" 

      "Oh, yes we are. This movie was released way back, even before I was born. Why did you ask?" 
 
      "Because teacher, it's now in colors." sagot naman ng isa ko pang studyante. 
 
      "What do you mean, Annie?" tanong ko muli.

      "A while ago po kasi teacher, it's for oldies, pero now po it's colorful like my crayons po." sabay taas ng crayon box niya.
 
      "For oldies? "bulong ko sa sarili ko. Mukhang ako ang may kailangang linawin.
 
      "Opo teacher, kaya it's confusing po" sagot ni Annie
 
      "Kids, just continue watching and I'll just clarify something outside." dagdag ko.
 
      "Yes teacher!"

        Dali-dali akong tumakbo palabas ng klase ko para hanapin si Paulo, best friend at co-teacher ko. Sinuwerte naman ako, at padaan rin siya sa hallway kung saan nakapwesto ang homeroom ko. May kagat pang siopao sa bunganga ang hayop.
 
       "Teacher Paulo! Tulong nga dito." sigaw ko na mukhang kakatapos lang mag-almusal.
       "O, napano ka 'tol? May batang nanghipo sa'yo? Ganito 'yan i-demanda mo yung parents. Siopao gusto mo?" 
       "Gago, hindi p'wede 'yun, ako pa-madedemanda diyan. Ilayo mo sa aking yan. Teka! About dun sa Wizard of Oz, may tanong kasi 'yung mga bata."
 "O ano nga?" pangungulit nito.
 
      "Dun kasi sa part na lumabas na ng farmhouse si Dorothy, yung nasa Oz na siya, nalito daw yung mga bata, nung una daw 'for oldies', tapos maya maya parang 'di naman daw." pagka sabi ko n'on, mukhang alam na ni Paulo kung ano ang tinutukoy ko. 
 
     "'Di ko ma-gets ano gustong i-point ng mga bata e." pagkukunwari kong tanong sa kanya.
     "Ahh, ganito kasi 'yan 'tol, sa umpisa kasi, grayscale 'yung mga eksena sa movie; medyo mukhang black and white, parang makaluma, pero sa part na tinukoy mo, nagka-kulay na siya, tulad ng sinabi nila. E alam mo naman –bata, pag black and white pang matanda para sa kanila. Weird nila no? Hahaha!" paliwanag niya na tunog kaawa-awa ang sitwasyon ko at binawi sa isang corny na joke.
      
     "Gago."

      Bata pa lang kami, alam na ni Paulo ang kondisyon kong 'to. Iilang beses na akong napahamak, napahiya at nalungkot dahil dito. At andun siya palagi para ibaling lahat ng yun sa ngiti. Kaso puro kalokohan naman alam nun. Sakit lang ng ulo inaabot ko.  

     "Ba't ka nag-sosorry? Wala yun 'tol. Ayos lang sa'kin. Halika nga dito ikaw mag-explain sa mga bata." pakiusap ko.
 
     "I'm on it chief." sabat ni Paulo na naka salute pa.
 
      Sa tinagal tagal na ng pinagsamahan namin ni Paulo, nasanay na rin ako sa mga maka-outer space at corny niyang mga hirit. Magkapatid na nga turingan namin sa isa't isa. Since, nu'ng araw na lumipat sila ng bahay na tapat s'amin, nag-click kami instantly, seryoso ako, clown siya. Tama nga, kailangan may isang kurimaw sa mag-kakaibigan. Halata namang 'di ako yun.

      Sabagay, 'di naman kasalanan ng mga bata na wala akong ideya ano ang mga kulay. Kung meron man, pamilya lang ng puti at itim ang nakikita ko. Bulag ako, pero 'di gaano. Bulag ako sa kulay, aside from that, maayos at wasto naman ang katawan ko. 

     Ata? Ewan.
  
     Sa kondisyong ito, limitado lang ang kayang makita ng mga mata ko. 'Di ko na – enjoy simula bata ako: ang mga ulap sa isang maliwanag na panahon; Ang mga parol na kislap at kutitap lang ang nagbibigay katangian sa kanila, ang naninilaw raw na pustiso ng lola ko, ang kulay ng medyo maduming kanal, kulay ng sipon ni Paulo, at kung ano pa. 'Di ko naman hinayaang malimitihan din nito ang potensyal ko bilang tao, bilang ako, 'diba? 'Di ako nagpadala sa bigat ng kawalan ng kulay sa buhay. Literal na kulay: asul, berde, pula, lahat. 

     At least sure ako, na itim ang blackboard. 
 
     Kaya, sa tuwing na-papaisip ako kung anong…

     *Toot…Toot…Toot…Toot…*

      Unti-unti kong narealize na kanina pa pala ako nag de-daydream, nag-iisip, at 'di ko namalayan na late na pala ako.

      "Ano'ng oras na?" Tumingin ako sa phone ko na nag-alarm.
      "7:30 a.m."
      "Ugh. Oras na. Kailangan mo nang tumayo. May pasok ka pa Ren." pagpipilit ko sa sarili.

      Agad na akong tumayo at humarap sa salamin, na nasa likod ng nakasarado ko pang pinto, at tinignan ang poster na nakasabit dito, na araw-araw ko nang nakagawiang gawin. Daily ritual kumbaga. Well, 'di naman talaga daily. 
      
      Ito ay kasing laki lang ng isang long bond paper pero matibay na karton 'to. Para siyang kalendaryo pero instead na mga araw o dates, e, mga life quotes ang nakadikit.  Nakasulat sa instruction nito sa bandang itaas ng poster, simple lang naman; Ipi-pikit ko lang ang mata ko, sabay turo ng hintuturo sa kung anumang parte ng poster na'yon. Kung ano ang maturo o madikit sa hintuturo ko, 'yon ang magiging life quote ko sa araw na 'yon.

     Life quote, in terms na p'wedeng d'un umikot ang buhay o 'yung pilosopiya mo pansamantala. At pagka-napili na ang life quote na 'yon, dapat itong tanggalin, at i-peel, kasi sticker lang naman siyang nakadikit sa poster, and life goes on.
 
     Nakita ko lang ito sa isang bookstore n'ung minsang bumibili ako ng materials para sa mga teaching materials ko. Halagang 22 pesos lang naman kaya binili ko na rin, wala namang mawawala.
 
     Ngayon, halos dalawa't kalahating buwan ko na itong ginagamit, kahit nakalaan lang siya para sa isang buwan. Trentang life quotes; isa para sa bawat araw ng isang tipikal na buwan. Napasobra sa dalawang buwan kasi, medyo… medyo tinatamad akong gumamit minsan. Kesyo late na ako. Kesyo 'di ko lang ramdam. At kung ano pang katamaran ko. 
 
     Nung unang beses nga, pagkadilat ko, wala na pala sa poster 'yung daliri ko kaya kung anong pinaka malapit na quote , e 'yun ang ginamit ko. Wala namang nakakakita e. 
 
     'The only constant thing in life, is change.'
       - Chinese Philosopher
 
    Ito lang ang nag-iisang quote na natatandaan ko sa lahat ng mga ginawa kong pag pikit-pili, sa mga lumipas na pagkakataon. Maliban d'un, wala na. Ni 'di ko nga rin matandaan kung may effect nga ba y'ung quote na 'yon sa buhay ko nung araw na 'yon. Nakalimutan ko. Nag-sayang lang ba ako ng 22 pesos? Pambili rin ng overpriced na siomai sa school canteen 'yun.  Masarap pa naman.
 
 Maliban din dun 'di ko na matandaan masyado ang mga napili kong life quotes. Maybe I just didn't give much care? Pero this time,'di na ako magdadalawang isip sa araw na'to. Last quote na rin naman ng poster na'to. Tatamarin pa ba ako? Naisipan ko na rin na h'wag pumikit dahil wala na rin sense kung pipikit pa. Sino ba niloloko ko. 
 
 'Be a rainbow, in someone else's cloud.' 
    - Maya Angelou
 
 Wow. Deep. As usual, hayahay lang nararamdaman ko sa nabunot ko. Siguro dapat 'yung siomai na lang binili ko. Pero kahit papano, nakaramdam naman ako ng sense of accomplishment. Achievement na rin, ata. Pero sa wakas, natapos din ang isang poster nato. Wala ng obligasyon para dito. Kung uulitin ko 'to, 'di ako sigurado. Para kasing nag-aksaya lang naman akong ng oras at pera dito e. Pero ito ang sigurado- malalate na ako.

Hindi magsisimula ang kuwento ko sa isang "noong nakita ko siya", dahil sa totoo lang, nagsimula ito noong nakakita na ako ng kulay.

"David, Start the car. The kids are ready." Dazzle shouted from her room to her husband, who was nervously looking around because the car wasn't starting or even responding to him.


David mumbled, "I am so dead." "Mom! What do you mean ready?" A teen girl with an all-black dress asked.

"shush! You don't want to make your dad mad, right? Dazzle asked sternly. "Mom, they rhyme. Dad and Mad." A young teen boy, with a cool dressing style, said.

The young teen girl grunted and immediately started to pack to her school quickly.

Dazzle chuckled and said, "Kaycee and Noah, take your lunch bags and school bags."

Kaycee is Dazzle's and David's first child. She is fifteen years old. While Noah is fourteen years old. They both have a totally different type of nature and style.

Dazzle hurriedly slipped in a candy bar inside both of their bags. "Mom! Here I am. Ready to be the popular boy in my new school." Noah said with a proud grin.

Dazzle hugged Noah and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "I am not a baby, mom," Noah said but kissed his mother's cheek. "But you are my baby mother."

Dazzle looked at Noah wearing all his nice dresses. Dazzle mumbled, "Your taste in dressing is so good. I am impressed."

Noah just smiled and said, "That is what every girl in my school says...

Dazzle chuckled and said, "Where is your sister?" 

Noah's expression suddenly turned to dull from bright. He said in a cold tone, "Who cares?" and walked away.

Dazzle sighed and called for Kaycee. Kaycee and Noah's different personality never let them get along, either in the home or in school.

Kaycee was in her room, listening to a song. She wore her headphones tightly and carried her bag to go to school.

She mumbled, "At least, I find more of my people at this school. I am done with the bullying shit."

Dazzle looked at Kaycee and said, "Hey, Sweetie-" she stopped in mid as she saw Kaycee dressed all in back.

Dazzle gulped and continued, "Have a good day. Love you, darling." Kaycee just nodded and walked towards their car.

Dazzle whispered to herself, "Her dressing..." Dazzle was thinking but she had to stop when she heard a loud squeal.

Dazzle immediately rushed out and looked at her husband hugging the car. 

Dazzle looked at David and mumbled, "Weird"

Noah laughed and said to his father, "Dad! I think I am getting more handsome...more than you." 

David smiled and said, "Don't brag too much. As I said, your name..." "is of someone who respects simplicity." Noah completed with a grin.

Dazzle chuckled and waved them goodbye. David and the kids got inside the car. Kaycee was closing her eyes and listening to her music while Noah was busy adjusting his hair.

Dazzle yelled, "HONEY! PICK LIAM FROM UNCLE'S HOME ON YOUR WAY BACK. He stayed there for two days."

Liam is Dazzle's and David's last and youngest son. Liam is ten years old. But Liam wasn't a normal kid, Liam was born with a mental disorder, paranoid schizophrenia.

He was diagnosed for the paranoid schizophrenia disorder, two years ago, after being informed from school that Liam has a habit of talking to someone who doesn't really exist and feeling touches and others presences.

Liam is homeschooled these days by one of their neighbours, who are retired teachers. He also goes to a psychiatrist for his therapy.

As it is a birth disorder, it can't be cured but can be reduced or contained.

Dazzle named both of her boy children Noah and Liam because she can never forget the help and support these two people gave her.

"They were loyal and gave love to her until their death." She says.

Dazzle sat down after seeing the car disappear. She sighed and went towards Kaycee's room.

Dazzle was always worried about Kaycee. Kaycee's interest and hobbies were always odd, well, not for Dazzle.

Kaycee loved dressing with loose t-shirts or black jackets. Her drawing was normally filled with blood and guts.

She likes fighting and listening to music.

The reason why Noah and Kaycee are going to a new school is only known to Dazzle and Kaycee. 

Kaycee had punched a boys noise, in her old school, because he called her a "whore." But being a rich ass boy, he almost expelled Kaycee.

Dazzle had to lie to David about the bad curriculum in their old school, to change the school. 

Dazzle can't tell the real reason to David because he is a strict father, who can get so angry and impulsive when he is mad.

Dazzle sighed again thinking about that incident. Dazzle sat down at Kaycee's bed and read her quotes that she was hanging around her bed. 

She has written to them with all her emotions. "Bestie? I have none. I don't need one. Cause I am the one who I need."

"He touches and I just nod? Fuck no! I will freaking kill him."

Dazzle gulped as she read those quotes. "Did I reincarnate again as my child? She has got both mine and David's scary side."

Dazzle and David cut loose their connections with the gangster world as their kids grew. 

It had been years since Dazzle even talked to Darwin, who now moved to India for his business. He chooses to be alone and independent until now.

Dazzle got up from the bed as she heard Liam's cry. Dazzle rushed out and saw David who was angry, while Liam was crying.

"What's the matter?" Dazzle asked David. David said, "Your parenting." Dazzle gulped as she saw how angry David was.

Dazzle asked, "Honey? What do you mean?" David chuckled sarcastically and said, "Did you tell Liam that he can go to school next year?"

Dazzle looked at Liam and said, "No. I meant the upcoming years." David looked at Liam and said, "Go to your room."

Liam immediately ran towards his room. David said gritting his teeth, "He doesn't want to return to our home. He says he wants to go to school.

He never said those things. It is all because you said to him about the school." Dazzle blinked to stop her tears and said, "I-"

David yelled at her face, "Shut up!" making her flinch. David walked away towards the door, outside the house.

Dazzle sat down on the floor, crying. Liam peeked in from the door and hugged her tightly. He asked, "Mom! You said you hate all the boys who hurt you, right? Do you hate dad too?"

Dazzle smiled in between her tears and said, "No! Things change after marriage. He is my husband, how will I hate him? I love him. He is the only man who can hurt me."

Dazzle said smiling and kissed Liam's pink cheeks. "Did he slap you?" Dazzle asked with her eye-widening.

Liam nodded and said, "He was so mad." Dazzle immediately got up from the ground and went out to see David.

She looked at David and walked towards him with fast steps. "How can you slap Liam?!" Dazzle shouted.

David said coldly, "He was throwing a tantrum." "So? You raise your hands on our child?" David nodded.

Dazzle shouted madly, "Fuck you! David." David looked at Dazzle, connecting his fuming eyes with her angry ones.

"Why can't I slap a child with bad behaviour?" David asked gritting his teeth. Dazzle said in a loud voice, "You can warn him but SLAPPING IS WRONG."

David had enough and without realising, he slapped Dazzle on her cheeks, making her fall down. Dazzle looked at David, holding her burning cheeks, with a teary eye.

Liam screamed and rushed towards Dazzle, hugging her. Dazzle said in a low tone, "Liam is having nightmares of someone hitting or touching him, that is why. You know about him. Right?"

David was shocked by his own actions. He said stammering, "Baby, I didn't mean too." Dazzle just stood up and went back inside their house.

She went inside her room and looked at Liam, standing on the entrance. She said smiling at Liam, "Go and sleep, my love."

Liam nodded with his tears brimming and went inside his room. Dazzle lied on her bed with a thud.

Dazzle curled herself as a ball on their bed and started crying.

David walked in drowning with guilt. He walked inside their room and pulled Dazzle towards his chest by force, grabbing her arms.

Dazzle tried her best to free herself from his grip. "Leave me." She said in a weak voice. Dazzle cupped her cheeks and caressed the cheek he just slapped.

It was bright pink with his hands marked on them. Dazzle cried more and said, "You even started raising your hands on me. I...I was not someone who was used to getting hit. I am sorry."

David hugged her but Dazzle didn't give in that easily. He kept her hands on his chest trying to maintain distance. 

David immediately grabbed her chin and softly kissed her on her lips with passion and love. "They taste the same. Delicious and addictive. You are still as hot as ever."


Dazzle is a young teen girl with a beautiful face and a kind heart. She is such a angel and a loyal friend but not the peoples around her.

Bullied by school mates, Harassed by her teachers, seeing all her friend being abused...Even after seeing all this, she couldn't do anything.

If a woman talks backs or rebels, it is her end. End of her life and dignity.

But not anymore. She has the power of karma by her side.

Going through continuous assaults and facing deaths of her loved ones, made her a heartless bitch.

"WOMAN'S AREN'T SUPPOSED TO UPSET A MEN? THEN WHY NOT KILL THEM INSTEAD?" Dazzle thought
