Fading Memories - Jungkook

Pairing: Jungkook (non-idol) x female OC

Genre: angst, hurt

Warnings: illness, mental health

Word count: 730

Another shift ended. When Jungkook checked his phone, the clock read 2:13am. With a sigh, he left the building, tired and weary, after changing out of the ugly dark blue uniform he had to wear every night. Outside, he was greeted by the cool night breeze. The bright light of the big "GS Self" logo blinded him for a few seconds. Slowly, he made his way to the bus stop. The streets were empty. Who in their right mind would be awake at this hour, thought Jungkook. Since the bus had a few more minutes, he sat on the bench. He shivered slightly, even though it was mid-May. The temperature of the night was not the only reason for his shivering. He felt uncomfortable here. Every minute he had to spend here brought back unwanted memories. He didn't know what they would have done to him or where he would have ended up if the bus hadn't arrived on time back then. He was pulled out of his deep thoughts by the engine of the bus. He entered the bus with heavy steps. His seat was free, as it was every night.

During the ride, he began to think again. Why was he doing this? Why was he working himself to exhaustion every night while others in their twenties were enjoying their lives and having fun? What was his purpose in life? He asked himself these questions every night. The bus passed a park. The depressing thoughts were quickly replaced by happy memories. Then remembered. He had to stay strong for her now. She stayed at home again today. Her symptoms were getting worse. He couldn't imagine the pain she was going through. He could barely afford the necessary medication, but he had to. He had to keep going for her. The female voice of the bus announced that he had reached his destination, "Guryon Village".

He got off and looked around. He was so tired that he felt it all over his body. His studio apartment was located in a less populated and poor neighborhood. He was glad that the landlady, a nice old lady, was not too strict. This was now the third time Jungkook couldn't pay the rent on time. Mrs. Chen told him he had another week and Jungkook was grateful for that. He walked slowly in the direction of his apartment building. On the way there, he saw the small 24/7 store. He decided to buy some food because he couldn't remember his last proper meal. He pushed the door open and entered the store. The cashier, who was on his phone behind the cash register, was alerted by the ringing of the doorbell. He chose the cheapest sandwich. At the checkout, he saw red roses. They were her favorite flowers. He took them too. After paying for his food and the roses, he left the store and walked home.

With his feet aching, Jungkook climbed the stairs of the apartment building. He unlocked the door and entered her apartment. It was quiet and dark. He put his bag on the floor and moved to the kitchen. He put water in a pot to boil. In the dark, he ate the sandwich he had bought earlier. His gaze fell on the photo hanging on the refrigerator. He thought about how happy he looked in the photo. But he wasn't anymore. She looked stunning as always. She's such a pretty girl with an amazing personality. He loves her so much. Suddenly, he became angry again. Why couldn't the doctors just help him? Why does he have to carry so much responsibility now? The boiling of the water distracted him from his thoughts. It was no use being angry, he thought to himself. He made himself a cup of tea and went out to the balcony. The sun was beginning to rise. He took a cigarette and lit it. As the smoke enveloped his lungs, he felt two tender arms snuggle up to him. "Go back to bed," he said to her. No answer. "Have you taken your medication?" he tried again. Once again, he received no answer. Slowly, the arms that once embraced him disappeared. "She's probably gone back to sleep," he muttered to himself. He threw away the cigarette and went into the bedroom they shared. But as he entered the room, he saw that the bed was empty and made, just as he had left it in the morning.

My opinion on Gotchard

I said this months ago and it stayed true. If they wanted us to care about the Chemies they needed to cut the number. Having over 100 of them and only having most show up for a glorified attack? How are we supposed to care about them? Make it like 20 or something 50 max. Have them be around even not in battle. And for the love of god don't just have it be the card art moving. Give them forms! Dolls, plushies, CGI, people in costumes! Give us a reason to care about them! They failed that and therefore we had no reason to care about their plight. All this said, the heroes were their own worst enemy. The Alchemist Union may not have truly been "evil" but their methods screwed them over hard. Mind wiping the problem away only alienated potential allies and gave people a reason to distrust you. As for the Riders, Hotaro is the usual "I have a dream!" Riders and he managed to fail at it so hard he literally had to create a new planet to salvage his plan. Rinne, dear god I hope it was some behind the scenes stuff with the actress because like has been pointed out multiple times. They treated her dirty. Benching her immediately after her debut which happened in the movie? Barely giving her forms? Benching her even more near the end? After getting her final form?! Spanner. dear god Spanner. I honestly think he was the worst Rider in the history of the show when it comes to win/loss. Like his only wins were early on or whenever he got a new form. Hell Lach was stronger than him in his WEAKER form. On the subject of the villains, I swear it was stated or implied that they were ancient beings, at least a century or so old, so the whole "we based them on people, including Rinne" felt out of nowhere and an excuse to give them a face turn. Guryon was literally just Goldmember from Austin Powers. He wanted to make everything Gold because he loved Gold. That's it. That's the motive. Minato was a moron whose plan to save his students was to beat up his students.

Ellas que esperan

I.

Tayo noong araw kay hilig magmasid Ng nagliliparang ibong maririlag Sa’ting panonood, napag-isip-isip Ang tularan sila’y maaari kayâ?

Tila mga maya tayo sa simbahan Nakadungaw mula sa pugad na kubli Sinusubaybayan ang mga kasalan At itinatago ang pintig ng dibdib

Hindi ko pa lubos maisip kung bakit Ikaw ay sumakay sa hangin ng sigwa Pugad ay nilisan nang walang pasabi Naging paraluman ay pakikidigma

Kung ang kalapati’y marunong bumalik Kapag ang palakpak ay kan’yang narinig Ang hibik ko kayâ ay mapakikinggan Nang pangungulila’y tuluyang maibsan?

(Nakikinita kong sa iyong pag-uwi Ako’y babalutin ng iyong alampay At bibigyang init sa gabing kay lamig Tulad ng inahin sa kan’yang inakay)

————

II.

Ikaw noong minsa’y napuno ng inggit Sa iyong namasdang mga ibong pipit Sila’y nagsasama sa iisang pugad Bulong mo sa akin sabay sa pagyakap

Ngunit kailangang sa yakap kumalas Sapagkat ang laban ay hindi pa tapos Mga pakpak nati’y dapat nang ibuka At h’wag nang pumayag mabilanggong lubos

(Binitbit ko lamang ay panyong seda Ang iyong pangalan dito’y nakaborda Itatapal sa aking pusong punyalada Maghihilom lamang sa tahanang sinta)

Nakaalpas tayo sa kapit ng leon Ngunit ang agila’y agarang sumilà Sa'ting mga leeg, kuko’y ibinaon Hinihintay tayong tuluyang manghina

Kunwang agila pa sila pumostura Subalit sa tapang sila ay kinapos Pagkat ang totoo ay b’witreng sugabang At sa mahihina sila naghahabol

Sa kawalang-dangal tayo’y isinadlak Panay ang kahig, walang natutuka At sa paghihintay na bunga’y mahinog Baya’y ginugutom, lubhang binubulok

Babád na sa dugo at nanlilimahid Ang nagtatawanang mga b’witreng ganid Tila ‘di pa sapat ating pagkadusta Pinagsasabong pa ang dukha at dukha

Hindi kalapati o maya ang saksi Walang nakikinig sa bawat pag-ingit Gayong wala na ngang iba pang tutugon Krus ay balikatin; Ito’y ating Pasyon

Kung hindi aalma ay mananatili Tayong mga guryon, mumunti’t kay hunâ Buto’t balat lamang, kay daling mabali Matapos hangini’y babagsak sa lupa

Huwag mong hayaang pakpak mo’y mapunit, O kayâ sa dingding mariing ipako Sa halip ay dapat maputol ang pisì Na kapit ng among mas hayop sa hayop

Ang ginhawang huwad ay s’ya nang iwanan Magtungo kung saan ang lahat ay pantay Giliw, ang lugar mo’y ‘di sa isang hawla Kay lawak ng langit, sa’yo’y naghihintay!

Nawa’y piliin mong huwag magpagipit Aking hihintayin ang ‘yong pag-alagwa Sa digma ay tunay nating makakamit Sinisintang laya’t laya ng pagsinta

————

III.

‘Katapos ng digma, tayo’y magsasayaw Sa kumpas ng himig ng ating pahinga Waring mga sisneng nangagtatampisaw Sa payapang sapa at nagsusuyuan

Sa tabi ng ilog na lumalagaslas Tayo’y magdiriwang, o, aking kabiyak Animo ay pakpak na pumapagaspas Balabal na manton sa ating pag-indak

Puting kalapati ang s’yang maghuhudyat Sintang kalayaan ay napasaatin At ikaw, giliw ko’t pinakamumutya Sa ginhawa’t hirap ay makakapiling

Para sa writing challenge namin ng isa kong kaibigan. Nagroleta kami ng mga topic na hiningi mula sa mga kakilala, pagkatapos ay binigyan namin ang isa't isa ng susunding tema. It was a fun experience, pampagana ng brain cells. Gusto ko pang ulitin kahit may kabagalan akong sumulat ng tula.

Random facts about the Rogue Diamein

Kawan

Is actually a half Androka, his father was a magic user. Usually, those with different types of magical parents take after one or the other. However, there are some, like Kawan, who get a mix of both. As such he is capable of very low-level earth magic and has a mental connection to his wolf, but instead of him shifting like most Andr, his wolf is made of earth magic and can appear at his side.

Zale 

As the pacifist of the group, she really doesn’t like fighting and she is committed to bringing peace back to Thrae. However, she quickly comes to realize that sometimes you have to fight and she reconciles this thought with her own pacifism. She gains the title Zale the Brave for her actions and unwillingness to stand down for what she knows is right no matter the adversity. 

Percy

She was born deaf in a fairly poor village and was unable to get a set of complete hearing aids until she was sixteen, whereas many receive them far earlier. Because of this, her first language is sign language and those she isn’t comfortable around may think her to be a quiet individual if they don’t understand sign language. She can be very talkative in sign and if she is comfortable spoken words, but she can sometimes get tripped up on pronunciation (though she is getting better) and she hates getting laughed at by strangers. The Rogue Diamein all worked hard to learn basic sign and they will often communicate using it.

Guryon

Later known as Guryon the Fierce, he is always the first to jump into a fight and the last to leave, usually dragged away by one of the others. He and Zale were childhood friends and he views her as a sister. He can be hot-headed but he rarely holds a grudge. Most think he would be the strongest, however that honor goes to Percy, and he is always challenging her to play fights and tests of strength. He respects her greatly though and will be the first to tear into a person if anyone tries to deny her strength, or just says anything rude about any of them. Especially Anton though, aka the love of his life.

Anton

The one in charge when Kawan has to go out. He is the older brother of Kaine and actually appears very early in the story to help Z to the train station. A firm believer in the phrase ‘if you have nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all’ he rarely has a mean word towards anyone. Don’t mistake this as him being a pushover though, he has a quick mind and a calm demeanor that lets him think up plans on the spot. He might not be the fighter of the group but he is the strategist and diplomat. He will, along with all the others fight when needed.

Villians and heroes with an overly adventurous s/o

Crow: Bro he is just as adventurous as you, you wanna go scout out a haunted mansion and get attacked by ghosts so you have to s u c c them up with a vacuum cleaner? Done. You wanna go to the bottom of the ocean and fight a shark? Of course! No idea is stupid to him because he's 65% a himbo, just lacking the buff requirement

Mack: You know what? He's down for it most of the time when it's not dangerous to you, he's got a bunch of lives but you don't. He plays it pretty safe most of the time but not when it comes to ghosts. "FUCK YOU GOATMAN"

Mayapple: She'd love to go with you when she isn't busy with work! There are a few things that scare her about the places you'll go but that's what her sword and power armor is for.

Becky: What_the_fuck.jpeg She doesn't even remotely understand why you want to go to certain places. But she'll go with you anyway to make sure you don't get killed out there. She has no clue about how you're remotely alive right now.

Malice: She finds it kinda cute how you wanna go all these dangerous places. She doesn't go with you most of the time because it's not her style, but she'll make exceptions for you! She's casted a few protections spells on you so she wouldn't be worried about you getting hurt.

Scorpior: "Scorpior does not understand this form of entertainment but will go with (y/n) anyway!!!" They're armed with an arm cannon so they aren't too worried about something bad happening. They are Scorpior! They will only protect their small s/o!

Dash: oh HELL yeah adventure time, come on grab your bee. He loves going on these adventures with you! Its right up his alley, being dumb after midnight with some packed sandwiches.

Mechano: He just kinda looks at you weirdly when you tell him where you're going. But hey, he's not one to judge, he just wants you to be careful out there.

Guryon: He also would give you a weird look, but would go with you if he feels it's too dangerous for you to go alone. He cares a lot about your safety!!!

Tephra: She did NOT like the idea of you going out to a dangerous place all alone at all. She's too busy with work to ever go with you, so she just sends Kaptain Man and a few guards to look out for you if things get dicey. She would never try to restrict you from leaving, because it's not her choice if you want to go out or not.

Kaptain Man: Why must you keep giving this man heart attacks? He's Kaptain Man! The manliest hero in Sukochi! But he absolutely hates it when you put yourself at risk like that. He's got a job to do, so he's always got the tough decision to either keep working or go with you to make sure you're safe.

[fairiesherefairiesthere]

The five proposals Freed Justine rejected and the one he did accept.

Fraxusweek by @fuckyeahfraxus day 7, with the prompt being  :  Proposal/Wedding/Engagement

1. A girl who's confused, but has got the spirit.

It's a precarious situation and Laxus doesn't know how to solve it. They've got the bad guy of the day cornered, but instead of going along willingly, the man thought it a good idea to get civilians involved. Quickly, the perpetrator had seen that there was no way to get out of his situation, with Laxus, Bickslow and Evergreen trapping him against the side of a building. So he had wrangled a little girl out of her screaming mother's grip and now, he has his one hand wrapped around her throat while he waves a weapon around with the other one.

To her credit, the little girl isn't going down without a fight, kicking and screaming as the situation keeps escalating. If the man wasn't wearing a mask, Bickslow probably could've done something about it. Brainwashing the girl herself is out of the question, as she's more likely to injure than save herself. Opening fire upon the man is completely out of the question, so now they're all stuck.

Rest of the fic under the cut!

The answer comes in the form of their ever so dependable captain kicking down the door from the inside, effectively smashing it into the man who had unwittingly been shielding the little girl from stray doors suddenly opening. With a dull thud, the man falls to the floor, unconscious.

As Bickslow and Evergreen cheer their captain on for a job well done, Laxus catches the surprise in his eyes and the 'oops' he silently mouths before looking around. When Freed comes to the conclusion that his habit of tresspassing for fun has not gotten him into trouble for once, he smiles at his teammates while telling them of the importance of 'seeing all the options' amongst other things. Later, in private, he'll tell the little shit that he knows he's full of bull, but for now Laxus will let him gloat.

Starry-eyed, the now saved little girl tugs on Freed's jacket, narrowly avoiding getting clocked by his sword. "Mister, you saved me!" she says and Freed nods with more confidence than he should have, considering his heroic act was one of mere coincidence.

"That means you have to marry me", she says in a matter of fact voice that throws all of them off. "That's what my books say", she continues before throwing a hopeful glance at Freed.

Behind his back, Freed makes a tiny gesture with his hand and with a bit of magic, he hurls a rather concerningly large rock at Laxus. Swiftly, he moves between Laxus and the rock, fending it off with his rapier. "Well young lady", he says, turning to the girl. "Now I have saved this man as well and now I have to marry him too. I hope you don't mind sharing."

With all the huffy- and puffyness girls that age usually possess, she turns her head harrumphs. "No, I don't like sharing. I'm not settling for trash", she continues, giving Freed the stinkeye. "So our engagement is called off, goodbye my sweet prince", she dramatically sighs before joining her mom. She does wave them all goodbye though, so that's a nice bonus.

2. A girl who isn't confused and hasn't got the spirit.

The second time Freed gets proposed to, it isn't even done by the bride to be. No, the bride to be stands there somberly, as her father tries to offer Freed her hand. "Surely", the man says, "A handsome young man such as yourself wouldn't refuse a gorgeous young lady. She knows how to cook and keep quiet, what else do you want?"

There's a quick flash of anger in the daughter's eyes and anger radiates off Freed as well, although he's more apt at hiding it. It's only because Laxus knows him so well that he knows how the other man really feels.

"What else I want?" Freed asks, voice carefully leveled before throwing on the biggest of smiles. "Why, your son would be a good place to start. He's gorgeous as well and I bet he's a fast learner, we could make our dinner together before having a ménage à trois in our kitchen."

The words immediately hit home and before they know it, the four of them are hightailing it out of there, but not before Freed has pressed a vial with suspicious liquid into the girl's hand with a whisper of: "Please feel free to use this however you want."

3. The spirit.

As far as Laxus knows, the party gathered in front of him is reaching the peak of their little roleplay game. He has no idea what they're actually prattling about, but Freed looks happy playing whatever it is, so of course he's there too. Although he isn't participating and merely laying his head down on Freed's lap, as he's done the past few session, he can kind of tell what's going on based on observations and little comments Freed gives now and then.

Wendy is narrating the story and honestly, her youthful spirit adds a gentle touch to it. Levy, Lucy, Mira, Freed and for some reason, Gray and Loke are the nerds participating and rolling dice. Throughout the story, familial bonds have been formed and right now, they're on the cusp on something more than just familial.

Loke and Freed's characters have been flirting since pretty much the first session. Laxus really doesn't mind, because he trusts Freed and also because both men are making a competition out of it. It keeps Freed sharp, so to speak and he only becomes better at flirting with Laxus in return. It's ridiculous how smooth he is sometimes.

In-game, Loke has proposed to Freed and the whole group is hollering and shouting until Loke rolls the dice. Then they fall silent, so naturally, Laxus presumes something bad has happened. Calmly Wendy shoots the group a warm smile before saying: "Alberion (the name of Freed's character) panics, thinking he's gotten too close to the enemy. He shoots Guryon (Loke) and flees, back to the dark castle where he was born and raised!"

A series of whats and hows raises from the group while Freed and Wendy bump fists. Seeing the indignant expression on the rest of the players' faces, Wendy merely shrugs. "It was on his character background sheet", she explains and leaves the group to deal with the betrayal.

4. A man who's had too much spirit.

"Justine, marry me", Hibiki Lates sobs into Freed's shoulder as Laxus watches in amusement. His boyfriend is looking mildly annoyed at the overly intoxicated man, but there's a hint of fondness in the set of his lips.

"Now why would I do that?" he asks with a sigh and Hibiki immediately straightens his back before putting a USB-stick into Freed's hand.

"There's a powerpoint on there", he explains before starting to list his good qualities. "I'll start with the main reason why you should marry me: I'm really, really cute."

"That's what you're going with? Not our 1 week relationship when we were both fifteen?"

"No, because we broke up you dumbass", Hibiki says before headbutting Freed harder than probably intended. "You're not good at providing comfort, I'm gonna look for someone else", he mopes before stalking off. Before disappearing from view completely, he turns around to yell at Freed. "This is why our teenage romance didn't last!" Both of them end up snorting and laughing about it.

5. A man who's lost his spirit.

To say he's nervous is a serious understatement. Laxus has been planning this proposal for months now, has lost a significant amount of sleep over it and will probably cry if even the littlest of details goes wrong. He's stressed beyond belief.

For now, everything seems to be moving in the right direction. His reservation at the expensive seaside restaurant hasn't magically been cancelled and the clothes he'd set aside for today still fit nicely. Freed has also been going along with Laxus' plans without demanding to know what they're doing. Seemingly sensing Laxus nervousity, he simply follows wherever Laxus directs him to be.

The first thing that nearly goes wrong, is transportation and Laxus really has no idea how that even happened. He planned this whole thing while giving his own weaknesses no thought. As the carriage had pulled up, Freed had commented how nice it looked before giving Laxus a teasing smile, while telling him how good it was that that carriage wasn't for them, as Laxus would've puked all over it.

Immediatle, he blanches and Freed, bless his heart picks up on it. He waves the carriage off, which isn't a problem since Laxus already paid for it and then sets up some transportation runes. "Just imagine the place where we need to be and we'll be taken there", he instructs Laxus.

The seaside view is luckily just as gorgeous as in the pictures and Laxus feels the repeated crashing of the waves soothing his mind. Maybe it would go alright after all. The two of them settle in their chairs and look at the menu, commenting on some of the stranger recipes. Swiftly Laxus decides what he wants to eat and puts the menu down to ask Freed for his choice.

It's then that he catches Freed drumming his fingers on the table while biting his lip. He's also tapping his feet, so Laxus knows that he's essentially screwed. "Is there something wrong?" he asks, nervousity returning in full swing.

"Ah...It's just a little something that hasn't really been brought up." Catching Laxus' questioning gaze, Freed winces a little bit. "I'm allergic to seafood. Deathly allergic actually", he admits sheepishly and Laxus wants to dig a hole in the ground and take a nap in it. "Don't make that face", Freed gently chastises him. "This trip isn't wasted." With a grin, he browses through the menu until he's found what he's looking for. Triumphantly he turns the booklet around to show Laxus the dessert section. "You best believe I am testing out as much of these bad boys as I can. I don't believe they'll put fish in there."

After something that could be counted as some form of a meal, the two of them want to take a walk on the beach. They are however dressed to the nines and after a brief moment of consideration, they come to the conclusion that neither of them wants to clean all the sand out of these clothes, so they let a walk on the sand itself drift from their minds for today. Instead they walk on the pavement until the sun sets.

During their walk, Laxus thinks that now would be a good time to propose. The setting sun is the perfect background and he bets it'd look really romantic if he were to pop out the rings right about now. Right about then, is when he realises he left the rings at home. After vehemently checking each and every one of his pockets, it's clear that a proposal isn't going to happen. To highlight this fact, the wind starts picking up and Laxus knows a gathering storm when he sees one. Defeated, he sits down on the sidewalk.

With more pep than Laxus'll probably feel for the rest of the week, Freed plops down next to him and lays his head on Laxus' shoulder. "My dear, do you want to cry about it?" he asks and honestly, he wants to but they're in public. Crying in front of Freed is one thing, crying in front of a crowd is another thing. "It's good that it's going to rain then", he adds gently before taking his head of Laxus' shoulder and opening his arms. "Get over here sweetheart."

It's a bit embarrassing, sitting there in the now full-on storm and crying while his boyfriend cradles him in his arms. But it feels too good to pass on, so he doesn't let go until he feels somewhat placated.

"My dear Laxus", Freed says softly but still audible over the storm, "You could ask me to marry you in the back of a dumpster and I'd wholeheartedly say yes. But you worked hard on this, didn't you? I'll keep that effort in mind. So ask me another day, when your nerves have calmed down. I just want to tell you now, I love you and I always will."

6. Two spirits, a shared love.

This time around, there are no theatrics or outrageously expensive restaurants. It's a simple breakfast prepared by Laxus, one he knows Freed'll like. After sliding the last egg on a plate, he goes upstairs to try to coax Freed out of bed for the third time this morning. A few languid kisses follow and reluctantly Freed follows, sticking close to Laxus because he is so very warm and comfortable.

"It's time for food, don't use me as your human blanket", Laxus softly admonishes him and Freed grumbles in return. With droopy eyes, Freed starts nibbling on his toast and although Laxus is very used to the sight of his boyfriend in the morning, it still elicits a smile from him.

"Yesterday I spent the day with Bix and he learned me some magic tricks", Laxus says and produces a set of cards out of his pocket. "Wanna see some?"

Vaguely interested, Freed hums and nods. Dutifully he picks out a card when Laxus asks him to and when Laxus asks him if he picked out Freed's card, the man shakes his head drowsily. "That isn't even a card Laxus, that's a box...", he complains quietly, yawning a bit afterwards.

"There is an accompanying card though", Laxus grins as he shoves the little box and the card to Freed side of the table. Predictably, Freed picks up the card first, reading the message and silently forming the words with his mouth.

Immediately the sleepiness seems to evaporate from his system as he quickly opens the box as well, revealing the rune-ingraved ring. Before even answering, he throws his arms around Laxus, planting a big, fat smooch on his lips before peppering a thousand little ones all over his face. "I love you", he gushes before collecting his thoughts a little bit. "And of course I'll marry you." They exchange some more kisses until Freed pulls back with a huge grin. "I'm going to brag to everyone. The guild, the lady at the grocer's, they'll be hearing it for months."

With a gentle tug, Laxus witholds the man from running out of the door in his bathrobe. "If they're going to hear about it for months, then you've got time to finish your breakfast, silly", he says warmly and Freed shoots him a cheeky smile and a wink in return.

guryon

ako’y nasa langit, palayo nang palayo. pataas nang pataas, di alam sa’n patungo. ladlad ang mga kamay na puno ng mga kulay. sa agos at galaw, ako ay sumasabay. wala mang kausap, ang hangin ay nilalasap. inabot ang mga pangarap, lumagpas pa sa alapaap. buong akala’y malaya na, lubid pala’y pilit humihila. nagpupumiglas man, alam kong ako’y pababa na. bumagsak ako sa lupa, at idinilat ang mga mata. salubong sakin ay isang ina– “anak, gising ka na pala.”

guryon ng emosyon

Isang guryon ang nabuo sa salitang guryon. Naisip kong magandang pagsasanay ang saranggola dahil maraming salita ang puwedeng iugnay sa kabataan at nostalgia.
