"Being normal is boring. I want my mind be satisfied. Yet I cant find anything to suffice this need."

"Pag inlove ka, para kang nasa pelikula, minsan bida pero minsan kontrabida, pero anuman estado ng lovelife mo, lagi tandaan, ikaw pa rin ang bida sa pelikula ng buhay mo. Hawak mo ang script at camera at libre sumigaw ng "Cut" pag handa ng bumitaw."

Bata pa lang ako ay hopeless romantic na ako. As early as 8 years old, alam ko na yung gusto ko at hanap ko sa isang guy to be my partner, at dahil paborito ko ang mga Disney Princess at Prince, nangarap ako na magkaroon ng partner na malaprinsipe tulad sa fairy tales, mga knight in shining armor ika nga. Yung lalaki na handa ako ipagtanggol kapag may umapi o umaway sa akin, yung kahit ano mangyari, hindi ako iiwan.

I remember noong elementary years namin, uso ang slumbook, iikot yun sa buong klase at sasagutan mo. Isa sa tanong na paborito kong sagutin ay ang "What is your ideal guy/man?" Tapos excited akong isulat doon yung ideal man ko na "maputi, matangkad, smiling eyes, singkit na mata na kapag ngumiti wala ng makitang mata, killer smile, matalino, gwapo, mabait, at higit sa lahat maka-Diyos." Tapos lahat ng classmates ko alam agad sino crush ko kasi meron kaming classmate na lahat ng gusto ko sa guy ay andun sa katangian nya.

Nung nasa high school naman ako, same lang, uso pa rin ang slumbook, kaya pareho lang ng sinusulat ko dun, pero dahil nagdadalaga na ako noon, may isang guy na school heartthrob ang nahagip ng mata ko. Sa apat na taon ko sa high school, sya ung ultimate crush ko na naging first heart ache ko. Sobrang sakit nya. Hindi ko sya boyfriend pero sya naging unang heartaches ko, bakit? Kasi ang gusto nya ay ung close friend kong babae. Sakit no!

​So ayun nga, dahil naheartbroken, sinabi ko na "Cut" yung para akong director na gumawa ng script, akala ko ako at sya ang bida, pero ako pa pala naging kontrabida, kaya ayun, tinapos ko ung script sabay sigaw sa puso ko ng "Cut, move on."

​Hanggang sa graduation, then move to college, excited ako kasi malaking university, makakamove on ako, at nangyari nga, ginusto ko mag excel sa lahat ng bagay at dahil gusto ko ung course ko sa college, inenjoy ko, hindi ko namamalayan, andyan na naman si kupido. Ang makulit na pana.

​At first, natuwa ako sa guy, pareho kami ng hilig ang film, cinematography kaya naman sya ang partner ko at nagtuturo sa akin ng techniques sa filmmaking. Ahead sya ng batch pero naging close friend ko sya, pero dahil nahuhulog na puso ko sa kanya, bigla ko agad naisip ung heartbreaks ko noong high school kaya naman, bago pa ako tuluyang mahulog sa taong ito, tinawag ko na syang "kuya". Kuya ang naiisip kong itawag sa mga guys na nagugustuhan ko para maprotect ko ang heart ko sa upcoming dangers of heartaches. Hanggang isang araw, bigla syang nagtapat na he likes me raw, sa sobrang takot ko masaktan, pinanindigan ko ung tawag kong kuya sa kanya. Sabi nga nya "Kuya ba ung magic word mo sa pambabasted ng guy?"

​Then one day, I saw him with someone and introduced to me as his girlfriend. Ouch! Ang sakit beshy. Pero kailangan panindigan na kuya ko sya kasi hindi pwede ang pakikipagrelasyon noon dahil nag aaral pa ako.

​Many girls will probably relate to my stories while studying. Hindi naman kasi namimili ang pana ni kupido at ang pagiging broken hearted, kahit wala kang boyfriend o girlfriend, pwede tayo maheartbroken. Ang tanong lang eh kung kailan tayo pwede sumigaw ng "Cut"!

​Ang magmahal ay hindi masama, pero dapat alam natin yung boundaries para maiwasan ang broken hearted. Tayong mga girls, may mga standards, packages tayo na naiisip para sa relationships natin, even sa paghanap ng friends may package deal madalas. Pero ano nga ba ang mga package deals na ito? Eto kasi yung parang script guide natin sa relasyon. Alamin natin kung ano nga ba ang mga ito.

PACKAGE DEAL:  MY OWN IDEAL STANDARDS

​When I was young, I remember doing check list for my ideal man. May paborito akong kanta dati yung "Stay Forever" ni Joey Lawrence na lyrics na "I wanna stay forever with you, Feeling every heartbeat so close to mine, I wanna stay forever with you, Holding on to every breath, Stay forever with you" (grabe ang old na ng kanta, '90's song) pero yung kantang ito ung pinaghugutan ng standard ko sa quest for love.

​Isa sa standard or ideal character ko sa isang guy ay ung hindi ako iiwanan kahit ano mangyari. Sa kanta na iyan, feeling ko super kilig ako na para bang may prinsipeng hindi ako iiwan kailanman. Feeling ko lang naman na ganun dapat ang relationship, walang iwanan ika nga ng marami. Even sa mga friends ko, ayoko na may nawawala sa circle of friends ko. Ewan ko ba pero dahil siguro takot ako mapag isa. Ayoko ng walang group, I fear being alone. I'm scared of being left behind. So ang tendency, gusto ko nasa paligid ko lang sila. Ang selfish di ba?

Checklist #1: The Stay Forever Package

​Sino ba ang ayaw sa perfect relationship? Wala naman di ba? Ang gusto ko lang naman ay walang iwanan pero bakit kabaligtaran nangyayari. Marahil totoo ang kasabihan na "people come and go." Pero bakit nga ba? Siguro kasi need natin mag grow as an individual human being, hindi natin pwede ikahon sa mundo natin ang isang tao kasi may buhay silang dapat harapin din tulad natin.

​Madalas natin sinasabi "walang forever" pero sa totoo lang, hindi naman talaga nawawala ung mga taong minahal natin, nandyan lang sila, in fact, sa liit nga ng mundo, pwedeng nasa kabilang dulo lang pala sya. Nasasabi natin na walang forever everytime we broke up with someone, pero sa totoo lang, need lang naman huminga para makita ang iba pang ganda ng mundo. Ang forever kasi ay yung mga memories na nasa puso at isip natin.

​Hindi man sila bumalik sa atin after break up, yung memories na iniwan nila ang magsisilbing lesson natin para tayo maggrow pa. At yung memories un ang nag-sstay forever sa puso at isipan natin. Minsan may mga masasakit na memories pero anuman yan, sigurado, naging matatag tayo after. Mahirap minsan maintindihan kung bakit kailangan natin umasa tayo sa staying forever idea nay an pero ganoon ang buhay, sabi nga dapat may pinanghahawakan tayo.

​Naalala ko may isang guy ang lagi nyang sinasabi sa akin na "I will be with you forever." Nakakakilig marinig pero eto ung isang line ng lalaki na hindi ko pinaniniwalaan kasi meron at meron time sa life natin ang need natin maging mag-isa kasi need natin maggrow, madevelop sa iba pang aspeto ng buhay. Madalas nga may nauuna pa sa death di ba? Tulad ng guy na nagsabi sa akin nyan, ayun nauna pa syang bumitiw kasi nauna syang mahanap ung right one for him and I'm happy for him, imagine close friend ko pa sya ngayon. Pero yung memories na nabuo, minsan matatawa na lang kami kasi minsan sa buhay namin, pinangarap buuin yung forever.

A Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard once said; "Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."  

It is true enough that we can only understand things after it happened like sa nangyari, minsan after break up, saka natin marerealized na tama lang na bumitiw kasi kung hindi, wala tayo sa journey na meron ang present life natin.

Checklist #2: The Bestfriend Package

​'When you need a friend, that you can depend, you can count on me because, you're my best friend." One of my favorite songs about friendship. It's actually my song for my bestfriend. After my first heartbreaks, naisip ko ishield at protektahan ung heart ko, para bang ayaw ko nang masaktan. Kaya naman sa bawat crush ko na guy, kapag nahuhulog na loob ko, tatawagin ko na syang kuya. Malaki respeto ko sa kuya, kasi wala ako nun, naging panganay ako at walang kuyang kinagisnan kasi maaga sila kinuha ni God so ang tendency, I wanted to have an older brother. I longed to have someone na magtatanggol sa akin kapag inaway ako. A brother that can be a bestfriend to me.

​Noong college ako, may isang guy na sobrang close kami, as in walang araw na hindi kami nag usap, we treat each other as bestfriend, minsan, may report ako gagawin sa Philosophy class, habang nagrereport dumugo ilong ko, (well normal naman na nagdurugo ilong ko lalo kapag mainit), so my classmates were worried, at dahil kilala ng isang classmate si guy, nagdrop call sila (uso ang drop call dati sa cellphone). "Drop call ang tawag sa tawag na malatelegramang," So nang matanggap nya ang tawag, kahit nasa bahay sya kasi wala syang pasok nun, halos liparin ang byahe makapunta lang sa akin, he made sure na okay ako, dinala sa clinic, binantayan at hinatid pa sa bahay. Nakakakilig di ba?

​Eto yung time na naging crush ko sya at presto malapit na mahulog loob ko kaya isang araw nagtapat naman sya, mutual feelings ika nga, kaso tinawag ko syang "kuya". Syempre nasaktan ko sya. Pero buti na lang understanding sya at super bait, until now kaibigan ko pa sya. Sya kasi ung taong ayaw kong masaktan at itake risk ang friendship kaya I made him as my bestfriend.

​What I mean when I say Bestfriend Package? Isa sa standard or checklist na madalas magustuhan natin ay ung parang bestfriend lang natin si guy. Yung comfortable tayo na iexpress ang sarili natin sa kung anuman ang sitwasyon. Hindi tayo nahihiya sa harap nya. Tulad sa magbestfriend, Malaya kang maging ikaw kasi tanggap ka nya.
​Sa paghahanap ng makakasama habambuhay, kailangan natin maging bestfriend sa partner natin. We should learn that we can be a friend to him or her. Sabi nga di ba, special friend mo dapat yung taong mahal mo.

​Ang bestfriend hindi ka iiwanan nyan. My favorite classic author William Shakespeare once said, "A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been, accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow." So same thing with partner, someone who accepts me, understands me, knows me well, and allows me to grow individually. Parang hashtag sweetheart ko, bestfriend ko.
Speaking of having a bestfriend and being with forever idea, it means there is an unspoken bond with the person who knows us better than anyone in the world. The one you call on the phone at 3AM during a crisis; someone who knows what we are thinking before we say it; the only person who really, truly, 'gets' us. Everyone hears what you say. Friends listen to what you say. Best friends listen to what you don't say.

​Aminin natin na minsan sa sobrang dali ng standards natin mahirap mahanap. Siguro marahil madalas ang standards na meron tayo ay iba sa standard ng mundo at ng Maykapal.

"He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened." -Lao Tzu
 
Checklist #3: The Prince Package

​As I said earlier, I grew up na ang idea about relationships ay malafairy tales. Yung ideal man ko since elementary ako until now na nasa late 30's na ako, yun pa rin sa checklist ko. Ewan ko kung weird ba yun?

​Bago pa man ako nahilig sa mga Korean drama at KPop, espesyal na sa puso ko ang mga may smiling eyes o chinito eyes, gusting gusto ko yung mata na nakangiti kahit hindi pa ngumiti ang tao. Yung mga killer smile na kapag ngumiti wala ng mata at super sweet ang ngiti, pati na rin ung kapag matalino at talented ung tao.  Mabilis makakuha ng attention ko ang mga guys na smart, matalino at super talented lalo sa music and arts plus factor kapag smiling eyes at may killer smile. Lalo na kung ang ugali ay malaprinsipe pa.

​Madalas sabihin sa akin, mahirap mahanap ung ganyan. I remember, may nagtanong sa Facebook ko kung sino ang guy na hanap ko. Sa sobrang kababawan, sinagot ko sya ng "utak ni Albert Einstein, tangkad at katawan ni Paul Walker, smiling eyes ni Song Joong Ki, killer smile ni Kim Rae Won, talented like Vincent Willem van Gogh and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart at ung faith like David and Peter sa Bible." After I posted that, bigla trending ng comment na 'mahirap hanapin un at pagsama-samahin sa iisang tao, clone ba gusto mo?" Natawa ako at oo nga mahirap hanapin pero napaisip ako ng mahirap ba talaga hanapin at kung may nageexist ba talaga na ganung tao?

​Minsan nakakahon tayo sa idea na gusto natin pero paano kung hindi nageexist yung ideal na ganun kasi di ba nga may kasabihan "Nobody is perfect." Eh sabi ng iba, napakaperpekto naman ng hanap mo. Weh di nga? Perfect na ba un?

​May takot tuloy ako na parang what if hindi sya nageexist? Ano na mangyayari beshies?

"Love is a beautiful thing, yet it can be a monster that can break you. They say that when you love someone you never want to let them go and you will do anything to stay with them." Sabi nila "true love waits" pero paano kung matagal ang paghihintay? Or paano kung nakita mo na pero hindi tama ang tugtugin at tibok ng puso nyo? Ang sakit di ba? Minsan naitatanong mo kung maganda ka ba kasi parang walang nagkakagusto sayo.


At my age of 38 years old, most of my batchmates are all married and have their families na, dakilang ninang na nga ako ng iba sa mga anak nila. Madalas ayoko na tuloy pumunta sa mga okasyon kasi iisa ang tanong nila, "kailan k aba mag-aasawa?" "Wala ka bang boyfriend?" At madalas ko lang sagutin ng "Wait lang, darating din 'yan."


​Minsan tuloy napapaisip ako ng "Nasaan na nga ba si Mr. Right?" "Sobrang traffic na ba at hindi ako makita?" Pero kung nakita mo nga pero hindi naman pwede maging kami.


Being single is sometimes a controversial issue in our young professional society. Always remember that true love waits. Every woman is worth the wait. We don't need to rush things. It will come. Everything has its own perfect time.


Maybe God is still busy writing my love story.

Jo is working as an event coordinator, in a Commercial and Advertising Company. It deals with newly established buildings, restaurant and hotels, etc. The Company promotes and advertised the places by organizing an event and introducing it the new buyers and investors or something similar to that.



She is fully in-charge with respect of organizing parties, meetings and weddings. Just imagine how frustrating it is to organize a wedding event in her situation. She's always present in the wedding and sometimes gets to be the bride's maid but never had the chance to be the bride. Oh, but not for so long. At least we all have to be positive. Kapit lang mga kapatid at tiwala lang!



Jo is obsessive compulsive. She well organized and everything needs to be in proper order. Everything needs to be planned and what better way to start the Project of "Finding Big-O but to create a checklist. The Ultimate Guide in Finding Big "O" este Mr. RIGHT pala.



I: LOCATION - where to find Mr. RIGHT?



1. The GYM - before anything else lets begin with the OPLAN BALIK ALINDOG paano ka makakahanap ng ka-date kung walang alindog? At habang abala ka magpa-sexy at magpaganda samantalahing ang pagkakataon na maghanap ng potential boyfriend. Kung hindi niyo naitatanong madami ang naglipanang Fafa sa GYM. Malaking ang chance at possibility na makita si Mr. RIGHT.  Aside from physically fit, eh health conscious pa. Oha! Double purpose.



2. DATING Applications - with the modern age and new technology lahat pwede mo makuha online, trending ang social media nowadays. Kung wala ka mahanap na ka-date in real world why not try it in the virtual world. All you have to do is  just register or create an account. Fill in the blanks, update your profile, upload your photo, typed in your likes and dislikes, even your ideal man and in an instant the dating application will look for your perfect match your Mr. RIGHT. No sweat. Just one click away.



3. The BAR - a classic way in meeting someone is by going to the bar, coffee shop or any crowded places. You'd be surprise kung gaano karami ang katulad mo na naghahanap ng forever in those kind of places. Just sitting and waiting.. literally FOREVER..



4. OUTDOOR activities - theme park, malls, camping, sports complex, beach and ressort at kung saan-saan ewan ko na lang kung hindi ka pa naman makahanap ng ka-date.



5. ARRANGED MARRIAGE and blind dates - kung desperado ka nang talaga at kapit na sa patalim. Ito na ang last resort, kung hindi makuha sa santong dasalan daanin na lang sa santong paspasan. Classic pero still applicable pa rin naman ang ganitong style.



Habang abalang-abala sa  paggawa ng checklist si Jo, little did she know that Alex was behind her. He is watching her the entire time, curious and wondering why she is so fixated and focused on what she is doing.



Alex was a close friend of Jo since college. They graduated in the same school and now working in the same company. Dahil dala ng sobrang ka-chismosohan hindi niya maiwasan ang hindi magtanong kung ano ba talaga ang pinagkakaabalahan ng kaibigan.



"Uy, bising-bisi ah. Ano yan?" pilit na sinisilip ni Alex ang notebook kung saan sinusulat ni Jo ang kaniyang checklist.



 "Andiyan ka pala," gulat na sagot ni Jo. Sabay pasimpleng tinakpan ang notebook ng ibang dokumento sa trabaho.



"Anong  list iyong Big"O", bagong event ba natin 'yan?" kunot noong nagtanong si Alex habang pilit pa rin sinisilip ang tinagong notebook.



"Bagong project ko," iritang sagot ni Jo. Mabilis naman nakahalata si Alex sa kaibigan kaya minabuti na lang niya tapusin ang usapan.



"Ayos  iyan bagong raket! Sige pagbutihan mo at  inform mo na lang ako kung kailan natin sisimulan. Let me know if you need my help, since tapos na ako sa last project assignment ko," nakangiting sinabi ni Alex sabay kindat niya kay Jo.



Then Alex left and went back to his office table. Meanwhile, back to the checklist. Since she already finished the list for the places where she can find her potential date, the first part of the plan was now completed.  She then now proceed with the next part of the checklist.



II: THE TO DO LIST.. these are the possible things you need to consider when on a DATE...



1. The Looks -  the most essential part of preparing the looks is the hair sabi nga nila ito ang crowning glory ng mga babae. Lakas maka-mukhang mayaman kung nakapagpa-rebond ka ng buhok. Next is the make up, dito maitatago ang mga flaws sa mukha. Biglang lumilitaw ang gandang hindi inaakala.  Manicure and pedicure, ilibing ang mga patay na kuko it's time for you to move on.  Kung pwede magpa-derma at body massage na rin to relax the muscles and lessen wrinkles and the pores.



2. The Attire - next thing to consider is the attire. Of course you need to choose the appropriate clothes depending on the occasion. Mahirap naman na mag heels ka kung mag-mountain climbing ka or naka-corporate look naman kapag nasa beach.. It's a no no!



3. The Menu - while on a date, as much as possible iwasan ang pag-order ng pagkain na kinakailangang mag-kamay and avoid eating raw onions, garlic, seafood and anything with a strong smell or malalansang pagkain. You may never know when you will have your first kiss so always be prepared.



4. DATING KIT -  and speaking of being prepared, you must have a Dating Kit for dummies. It consist of toothbrush, toothpaste, lipstick and foundation for make up re-touch, brush or comb in case mahangin sa labas or mapasabak sa labanan, perfume or cologne, a box of condom. Well, it is better to be safe than sorry and emergency contact number.



And since the TO DO LIST for the DATE has been covered... The last part of the List is the...



III: PREPARATION FOR THE BIG "O". It's like playing baseball, you have to hit the ball then run through all the bases..



1. First base - kissing -  there are different categories of kisses. Kiss on the forehead sign of respect, kiss on the cheeks sign of friendship and kiss on lips sign of love or lust . Of course there are types of kiss on lips...for starter is the smack a short gentle kiss.. dampi lang muna, applicable sa first date. There is also lips to lips, french kiss and torrid no need to elaborate they are the intimate and passionate types of kisses... In short alam na this!



2. Second base - is direct physical contact on the upper portion of the body. It also includes other forms of petting, touching and groping. Papisil-pisil at patapik-tapik. Kung libre ang tsansing dapat lubisin at itodo na! 



3. Third base - may include manual or oral sex for either partner. Also known as otso-otso, you 8 him and she 8 you! 



4. Home run -  is also known as the sexual intercourse or the BIG "O".



Now that the checklist has been completed... Let the dating begin!

This is the story of Josefina 39, late bloomer. Never been touched. Never been kissed and her quest in finding the BIG "O" or should I say the Big OoooHhhhh... Ang tubig para sa natutuyong lupa na nagcracked na at natitigang na lupa dahil salat sa dilig.. Is it too late for her? Will she find love or lust??

"Well since your officially a spirit master now Ryan you can register with the spirit hall for a stipend and receive 10 gold a month. Each rank you raise you'll be able to earn more money up to grand master level where you get 1000 gold a month. So rank 10 is 10 gold rank 20 is 100 and rank 30 is 1000. After that you receive a cut off and have to fend for yourself.  by either bringing in spirit beast materials or doing some other kind of work." Grandmaster explains to me and Xiao Wu.

"Honestly I'm not a big fan of spirit hall so any reason I can use to successfully rob them of money is good to me. I don't have to do anything for them do i? I don't feel like being their dancing monkey for 10 gold." I ask just to make sure.

"No you aren't required to do anything but go back in once you reach level 20 for the upgrade. You'll be issued a state ID aknowledging that you are indeed a spirit master and that's about it. This I'd let's you get discounts at certain shops and you gain the ability to fight at the arena." he slowly explains.

I look over at Xiao Wu I figure that my trunk can hide her enough from any prying eyes but it would be better to have double protection.

"Well before that I would like to have my other mother help us draw on some training seals and in Xiao Wus case Anti-Detection seals to prevent people from noticing her." I suggest before summoning out a beautiful red headed kushina who happily snatches me up.

"Oooh my little baby how are you doing in your new world have you made any new friends and how is school." the hyper active woman starts blabbering off questions while swinging me around like a rag doll.

"I'm good mom would you mind helping me with some seals for these two I need special ones for the small girl as her body is a bit unique." Explaining what I need to the happy woman she quickly draws up some test seals we go over a couple of times before perfecting it.

She takes Xiao Wu into the bedroom to help apply them while I give grandmaster a hand who is fascinated by all the uses for seals and it reading up on a book I brought out.

I give him basic training seals and some storage seals hidden on his arms for emergency use. 

After it's all done and over with he starts flexing his body getting used to the new resistance weights and letting it all calibrate.

"We will be doing daily training and combat in this trunk I have my stuff all set up for us. I'll be bringing in specialized teachers for each of us and we will be having other people train and spar with us aswell. Honestly we are kind of stuck here for a while until we reach level 20 and pass our basic tests. It won't be too hard as you guys are going to be eating foods filled with rich spiritual energy and training hard. You can give us extra tutor lessons to speed things up a bit I have special items for that." I talk about the plans with grandmaster while being passed back and forth between the two happy mothers. one rattling away and the other babbling up a storm. life is good. of course Xiao wu receives some doting from the mothers aswell as she's soft and adorable.

Grandmaster happily goes along with my plans adding in special classes which I can invite some people along to attend as azazel is always interested in new things so is minato.

Grandmaster offers to turn one of his spare rooms into a lecture hall for us. which I agree to before getting to work filling it up with desks a white board comfy chairs and teaching materials. 

I add in bookshelves stocked with some newly acquired books from the library I had already made more copies for my personal library and the kingdom library so I was free to give grandmaster all the extras I had made.

All in all it looked like a respectable college classroom. 

finally I figured it was time to head off to the spirit hall and get my free money. Dragging along a slightly still worried Xiao Wu we make our way to the big fancy building.

Making our way inside we head up to the reception desk and ask for the standard spirit master test. Of course the girl at the counter is shocked by how young we are and thinks we are playing until we hand over the papers we got from grandmaster. 

She quickly apologizes rushing off to find the spirit masters in charge of testing. Soon out comes to elderly men looking rather excited.

"So it's you two youngsters who have come to register?" He asks picking up the letters and reading them.

"six years old and both spirit masters already. oh? Blue silver grass? That's rare for someone to be able to become a spirit master with that useless spirit let alone one so young. hmm Ah full inate spirit power." he starts mumbling and talking to himself.

shaking his head in pity he continues "Well come along you two let's get you tested and your ID sorted out.

Xiao wu is hiding behind me the whole time grabbing the back of my shirt as we walk off towards the testing area.

"First place your hand on the stones and push in some of your spirit power." He says passing us some blue stones.

We put our spirit power inside and numbers pop up 12 for Xiao Wu and 16 for me.

"Spirit level 12 and 16 acceptable spirit master levels." he says ticking off some things on his checklist.

"Next up please release your spirits and rings for confirmation." he says looking at us again.

out of my hand sprouts a blue vine like grass and behind my back a purple spirit ring floats into existence. "Th..thh.thousand year spirit ring? and for a first ring aswell?!? impossible!" he sputters out.

Xiao Wu also releases her spirit and grows some magnificent soft white bunny ears I quickly pounce at patting and rubbing making her face go red.

I have a weakness for soft things.

"Hundred year spirit ring soft boned rabbit." He says still shakily checking stuff off on his list. Most people only have the basic ten year spirit ring as having a 100 year old ring is for clans as geniuses or the rich. A 1000 year spirit ring is unheard of as the amount of spirit shock would kill people after about 400 years old spirit rings.

"Both of you have passed the tests. if you wouldn't mind following me we can get your ID stamped out and your stipend going." he says nervously walking away thinking we are from some big clan as we are now wearing much nicer clothes than what we had on before. I don't feeling like wearing whatever the hell I had on in the village. it must have been burlap or something.

Now it's just fruit of the loom but it still looks fancy to him.

Of course Xiao Wu got a clothing upgrade aswell being from the forest she didn't have many real clothes or things so I had to spoil her.

or forms were all turned in and we were handed little soul hall identity plates with our rank and such printed on them along with our ages and names.

Quickly making our escape from the crowd of old men trying to ask us questions and make us their disciples we headed out for a nice meal in the town before heading back to the school.

Reincarnation? Wishes? A System? Magic? Harem? Pudding? This story has all of those. Multiverse travel, kingdom building, fan boy dreams come true in this wild story starting in the Harry Potter world. Instantly op character? nope. sharingan at the start? nope. shameless Mc? yep. shameless comedy? yep. NTR. nope. 

Just to let everyone know this is my first story English is my native language I planned 0 chapters in this whole book and I literally started writing it because I simple wanted to read it myself. It contains parts from bringing the farm to another world, shadow hack, and supreme Anime system. leave any advice you want I read all comments and try to take them into account.


(disclaimer I only own my characters I personally make) also there will be some grammar errors and some plot holes think of this as a rough draft I'm just winging it basically at this point lol doing well so far tho I plan to go back later to fix small things like speech and paragraphs sometimes I miss things. be gentle it's my first time.

Thea noticed how Jeru was in a good mood lately. It was as though he was the one with the symptoms of the first trimester of pregnancy. He had mood swings. Sometimes he was hot, and sometimes he was cold.
She also received a call from Jeru's assistant who inquired about her preferred color and design for the room she would share with Jeru. She was happy to know that Jeru had put effort into making sure that the new bedroom was according to her liking.
However, she was a bit nervous about meeting her father-in-law soon. She did not buy anything special as gifts at all. According to Chin, in all of his interviews, whenever he was asked about what kind of present he would like to receive from others, Senior Liu always maintained the principle of 'It's the thought that counts.' He preferred to receive simple gifts as long as it came from the giver's heart. 
For instance, he would appreciate to eat a good meal that someone specially cooked for him instead of receiving an expensive yet thoughtless gifts. He already had everything he needed, so why would he need, for example, another pricey wristwatch?
He always answered this kind of interview question lightheartedly, but Jeru confirmed that his dad indeed admired those with excellent cooking skills. Thea saw this as a good opportunity for her to please her father-in-law because if there was one thing that she could be proud of, it was her natural-born cooking skill, as Auntie Sheila had always told her. On top of that, she learned a lot of great recipes from her. 
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a message notification from her phone. She smiled to see it was Jeru.
[I have instructed them to transform the other room into a nursery. Tell me when you're free, so we can go and buy baby things together.]
She let out a soft laugh. 'Already? But we don't even know the gender of our baby yet...' she thought. But the message made her excited, and she was feeling that familiar tingling sensation in her heart again. It made her smile from ear to ear.
She contemplated whether to tease him because it seemed like he was in a hurry to shop for some stuff for their baby. But in the end, she only sent him her schedule.
"Oh, then I should already start making a baby checklist…" she beamed with a broad smile plastered on her face. She looked around and saw her buddy Gavin and decided to pester him about some baby things for her checklist.
"Huh? How would I know? I'm a bachelor, Thea, and I don't have a secret baby stashed away somewhere. You should ask one of the married women here..." Gavin grumbled.
Thea laughed and said, "But you're the only one who knows my secret… By the way, how come you and Brione haven't talked yet?"
Thea also knew Gavin's secret, and just like him to her, she had also become his counsel lately.
"Listen, I know a better idea for you, and I'm sure it will help you with your problem right now," Thea offered, with a teasing smile. Gavin's eyes widened and answered, "Alright, I'll ask my aunt about some baby stuff for your checklist. I'll send it to you later."
Thea laughed while Gavin sighed and rolled his eyes, "Why are women so complicated and meddlesome?"
...............….
Torin felt a bit awkward because even though Sheila said she was going to stay at Zach's place, but she had been staying in his apartment most of her waking time. He was not complaining at all because Sheila pampered him a lot. However, Torin knew that she was doing this on purpose to prevent Lyra and him from being left alone together.
"Mom, you look a bit sleepy… Why don't you go rest in the room first?" Lyra suggested when she noticed the sluggish expression on her mom's face while she was watching a TV-series.
They had just finished lunch at Torin's place, and Sheila decided to watch her soap over there instead. Her reason was simple; So that she could tend to all of Torin's needs efficiently.
Torin signaled Lyra not to continue, as he interrupted and said, "It's okay, mom, you can sleep on the couch. It's big enough, or I can carry you to the room later."
Sheila sighed and remained silent, but she kept her eyes wide open to focus on the television. She was actually enjoying the frustrated looks on the couple's faces.
She tried her best to suppress her laughter, 'Let's see how long these too can put up with my bullying.'
She was a light sleeper, so the slightest movement could wake her up with ease. Last night, she had felt Lyra move, and as soon as she had heard the clicking of the door, she had immediately instructed, "Get back in here…"
Lyra didn't have any excuse since the restroom was inside the room, and they had bottled water in the room. She couldn't say she was hungry either because Sheila knew how attentive her daughter was when it comes to her diet to maintain a pretty figure.
Sheila had almost burst out laughing when she had felt Lyra go back inside the comforter and hug her instead.
She did not plan to bully them long. Maybe just a few more days. 
"Torin, let me ask you something…" Sheila murmured in a sleepy voice.
"Yes, mom?" Torin answered, as politely as possible. He enjoyed calling Sheila 'Mom' very much. So his smile never faded whenever he called her by that name.
"If you ever come across a situation where both Zach and Lyra are in danger, and you could only save one. Whom would you save?" Sheila probed all of a sudden. 
"What is this, mom? Are you testing Torin or what?" Lyra was confused by the sudden question.
"Hmm, not really but I still want to know what he would do, just in case," Sheila said while yawning.
"Sorry, mom, but I would save Lyra first," Torin asserted. 
"Hmm, I guess most people would do the same for their lover. I should ask Zach whom he would save, Keira or Lyra," Sheila mumbled as she got up.
"Alright, you two, I'm going to take a nap for a bit. Don't you dare do anything naughty," Sheila whispered, to which Torin and Lyra's ears perked up.


She fell in love at first sight and did everything to conquer the man of her dreams... Her General...
---

Zacharias Lim was a loyal, diligent and persevering soldier. Despite his poor background, he had managed to rise steadily from the lowest rank of a Private to the youngest and one of the most respected Generals in his country. He was a principled man who always acted by the book and followed every rule. Because he had grown up in a poverty-stricken condition and having had to work extremely hard to get to where he was now, he detested people who didn't appreciate life just because they were lucky enough to have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth. 

That was until he met Keira Chan...

Keira Chan was a beautiful, bright, mischievous and confident young woman who always knew what she wanted. Having been born as the only daughter of one of the richest and most prominent families in the country, where gold was treated as sand, she had always led a carefree life and she could always get what she wanted without having to exert much effort. 

That was until she met Zacharias Lim...

It just so happened that she fell in love with the young General at first sight and was set to win his heart. And thus her laborious but hilarious journey to get him to be her man ensued...

======
Excerpt:

His forehead creased as his face darkened. Then he whispered, "Keira Chan! What are you doing to me?! Do you think I'm a toy you can play with any time you want to?"

"Huh?" Keira gasped as her lips slightly opened, she looked confused as she stared into Zach's eyes. She felt like his eyes were piercing deep into her bones.

She tried to open her mouth to say something but nothing came up. Zach lowered his gaze down to her slightly opened lips. Those lips had been haunting him and giving him sleepless nights…

Unconsciously, Keira bit her lip and heard Zach curse. Before she knew it, Zach abruptly pulled her towards him and kissed her lips. Her eyes widened and at that same time, she saw a falling star shining brightly in the sky.

fyi, cover is mine (commissioned work by ShanArt)

"Welcome to Dock 5. Please pick out the car assigned to you by swiping your card here."
	A door on Dock 5 opened.
	"Please proceed and drive your car home or to the home supply office. Proceed to Desk 17. If you need to gas up your car, just swipe your card a local gas station. The fuel is for free."
	Is this a dream? Everything's for free?
	"Thank you."
	"Stay here and I will get the car." Arodelf told me.
	"Hey,  give me the bag. It may inconvenience you while setting things up." He ran towards it.
	"Okay." A few moments later, the car was already near the dock. The car was a shiny blue with tinted glass. I thanked the man and I quickly opened the car door.
	He smiled at me with a debonair look and wicked smile, "Come on in." He licked his lips and revved up the engine. 
	"Supplies?" I demanded.
	"Yes ma'am." He sped up his driving.

	We were silent. The car aircon is cold. The whole car is squeaky and new. I could smell the leather and upholstery. I can assume that this is not a normal car.
	"This car is a..."
	"Maserati."
	"Yes." Inside my mind,  what I was about to say was bribe.
	"Ella."
	"Yes?"
	"What are your plans tonight? Are we?" He freed his other hand and held my hand.
	"I don't know yet. I'm pretty scared about that."
	"Are you still a virgin?"
	"You asked that before. Do you have memory gap or something?" I sighed, "I'm a virgin." I think the world stopped as I said those words because I could feel the tension between us getting too strong. I saw a little smile spread across his face as he continued to drive. He faintly whispered something. Just a fraction would render it silent, I heard it. I can hear it well. I heard it clearly.
	"Don't be scared about that." Arodelf looked at me and gestured me to lean on him.
	"Okay."
	We got to the supplies office.
	We parked the car outside and we got inside the office. We got to Desk 17 and the woman gave us a card to a storage room numbered 978 where all of our monthly supplies are located. The room is filled with unnamed boxes. These could be worth a fortune.
	"Are we going to check them one by one?"
	Arodelf asked while picking up the smallest box.
	"Yes. We have a checklist here."
	He opened it and gasped.
	"What is that?"
	"Nothing."
	"What is it?"
	"No."
	He showed it to me eventually.
	I felt my face flush red and asked him, "Are those things used for...?"
	"Yes. I don't think we need them. It's not like I'm and your are uhm... nevermind. Mark that out in the checklist already!" He was frantic, you can see it in his eyes.
	Arodelf put the box in the corner and started checking the contents of other boxes. He said proudly, "If these are just for a month, I think we cannot consume these stuff. Hand me the checklist." He started ticking off what's in the box he had opened.
	He handed me the checklist. "They told us that this ration is just for the two of us." I started ticking the boxes of the checklist.
	We checked the boxes and ticked all the things in the list. Some of the ration are not present in the room and there is a paper slip within the box stating that it will be given next week.
	"We don't need to go to the grocery with this heap. Okay, these are 27 boxes in total." He carried three large boxes in one lift and I carried two small ones. "Lead me so I won't stumble on anything okay."
	We placed some of the boxes one by one inside the car and I helped him put all of it inside. We left some of the boxes in the room since it will not fit inside the car.
	The first trip towards our designated home is a bit scary. I'm so filled with excitement and my smile would not budge. The Suppliea Office is not that far from our home.
	"What's with the smile?" Arodelf asked me. He may be creeped out since we know that this would eventually come with a price we have to pay.
	"I'm excited to see the house."
	He sighed and told me, "Get used to calling it Home, 136-1." His tone was furious.
	"What's with the..." We paused. His eyes were staring at something. I can see the little camera that is in the middle of the rear-view mirror. "Yes. I'm excited to finally see our home!" I leaned on his shoulder and he manuevered and stopped his driving. We were in the middle of the by-pass road.
	Arodelf quickly cupped my face, avoiding the scars of my operation, and kissed my lips gently. Two gentle streams rushed from his eyes and I felt them drop to my thighs. I quivered in his kiss as his hands reached the back of my ears and nape. He let go of the kiss once he felt it was too much to handle and kissed my forehead. He kissed both of my hands and wiped his tears away. He composed himself and started driving again like nothing happened. We were silent. It was just too fast.
	We got to the home designated for us. It's a two story house. In an awkward manner, I opened the car door and closed it as I got out. I immediately swiped the card and used the key to unlock the door. With no time to check the house,  we unloaded the boxes from the car.
	"Let's rest for a bit." Arodelf sat on the doorstep and told me, "I'm really not used to this kind of work you know."
	"Yes. I know." I smiled. We rested for a bit to look at the surroundings.
	It was very warm in this area but everything in this place seemed lonely. It's located far from neighbors.
	"This is very isolated you know." I saw him looking at the surroundings with a huge frown. His eyes were tensed. His body slightly quivered in an imagining.
	"I am getting scared already." I spoke out of the blue. He turned to look at me with a huge smile.
	"Don't be afraid of that." I get it, Arodelf.
	I smiled in return. I listened to his words, not missing anything. It was vivid and clear.
	"Crime rates are very low in our country. Don't be scared, there are things that are much scarier than that."
	A paradox.
	"I thought so too. You know what's scarier than that, Arodelf?"
	"What is that?" He stood up and leaned on the already closed door.
	"I don't want to lose you."

Vicerra and Aldred find themselves in a pinch. Will we detest the new world to have freedom? Will we detest our freedom for the safety of our family and friends?

A perfect world has a price to pay -- wait until it gets dark and twisted.

Su Chuanli, Su Rushi and Han Lixue came running out of the room and into the reception hall. Seeing them, Gu Meili put her checklist aside and walked up to them, wondering what made her three children run that much.

 " What happened? Did you see someone suspicious? What is the security department doing when the people they work for are obviously running away from something?!" Gu Meili frowned as she saw them and made a mental note to check in with her husband. Su Chuanli calmed down first and stepped towards his mother.

 " Mummy…" 
 " Hush child. Xiao Shi? Xue'er? Are you two okay?" Gu Meili walked past Su Chuanli and helped the two girls up. The son looked at his mother's back and suddenly felt like slapping his high school teachers. Didn't they say that boys were more favored in ancient families? Didn't they say that the fact still applied today? Wasn't the Su Clan ancient? Then why the hell was he being treated like the unfavored concubine here?! Was he even their son?! Su Chuanli was pretty sure that if it wasn't for the fact that he was born earlier, Su Rushi would have been made the heir, regardless of her gender. In fact, the Su matriarch and patriarch didn't want to part with her so much, that they basically set up a college in the Su Mansion for her!
 The girls had long gotten up and sat down to drink water when Su Chuanli came back to his senses. 

 "Now tell me, who did you get scared of? Is something wrong with security? Why did they not even ask when the Su children were running around with obvious fear?" Gu Meili was determined to get to the bottom of this. Especially since Han Lixue looked especially spooked. Poor girl. She just had to deal with all this stressful business of dealing with the media, and now she looked like her soul left her body.


 " Mama Su, We just ran from the room down the hallway. I doubt any of the security would see us." Han Lixue had pulled out her hair from her ponytail and again put it in a neat bun. With her blazer off and her white tucked shirt, she looked just as professional as she had been on stage. She slowly removed her earrings and switched them out for others. It's best to take as many precautions as she can to avoid recognition. She would change later, in the Su's room. "We weren't running away from something dangerous. Just someone acting very weird" Before Gu Meili could warn them about carrying proper protection from perverts, Su Chuanli spoke out in a pissed tone.

 " It was Yan Weizhe". Gu Meili looked at Han Lixue and inferred that she was probably hurt by Yan Weizhe's harsh attitude.

 "It's okay darling, he probably doesn't know who you are. Plus, why should you worry about a minor character like him?" Gu Meili thought about what she said. He was no minor character. But if he hurt her kids, he would be a minor character in any mother's view.

 Su Rushi felt that sometimes her mother's views needed a good shock. " Mummy, That sadist knows her. Like her real identity. Xue didn't recognise him, I mean why would she remember someone who she's never met? But, that's not the most shocking part. He actually bowed to her, called her my lady and said it was his honor to meet her! Honor? Bowing? He actually looked like he was possessed! That's not all. He kissed her hand, Mummy! If it wasn't for Lady Li beside him, I would have thought that someone was impersonating him!" Gu Meili felt light-headed. She had thought wrong about that boy. He was a bigger headache than those ignorant ones. These kinds of boys wanted to separate their kids from their mothers. Who would like them!

 " He didn't kiss my hand. He lightly brushed it! That's nothing compared to those stuck-up Cerranians who like slobbering their saliva on people. Do u remember that freak who looked like he was trying to tongue my hand? I washed it straight for half an hour! He was more English. Polite and not disgusting at all. What's so weird about it? Charles has done that a thousand times and you've never reacted this way, Rushi." Han Lixue spoke when she found the mother-daughter pair almost fainting.

 "...Hah?" Gu Meili felt a headache coming on. She had just assumed Rushi exaggerated when she talked about the kiss. So it actually happened?! Haizz… And did this Charles character think too much of himself?! Thousands of times? Didn't he have some limit. She should have a good talk with that useless Vice President later... 

The kids had made themselves at home in their usual meeting place- Han Lixue's house in the hills. Su Chuanli sat in the drawing room upstairs and scrolled through his phone, casually laying across the sofa. Su Rushi walked in with water and sat next to Su Chuabli, casually resting her head on his shoulder. Han Lixue came in right after and used a towel to dry her hair, standing in front of the both of them. Su Chuanli looked at her and smiled.
 
 "Today's events were interesting, weren't they, Xue?" Su Chuanli obviously meant the press conference, at least that's what he thought.

 " Right?! Can you believe Yan Weizhe was related to Lady Li? And who knew he was actually okay, like he knew how to respect his superiors?" Han Lixue said quite energetically. Su Chuanli and Su Rushi froze. The smile slowly dropped off their faces. 

" Xue, Yan Weizhe isn't something anyone should mess with. Power is not the issue, obviously. He has this aura that suppresses everyone. He's never acted like that before, bowing and talking nicely. Xue, watch out" Su Rushi talked in a low voice, a frown adorning her face. Su Chuanli cut in.

" He's obviously never interacted with you before, so he probably won't act like that on the first meeting. Xue, The Yan family is powerful. Even the Sus aren't a match for them. Nobody in Bylyn is."

Han Lixue considered what they were saying. If that fool tried anything, she could have him removed within a day. Even with the Yan family.
 " I know, but so far he hasn't tried anything, right? Plus, He was hot. Extremely hot." The moment Han Lixue said that Su Chuanli grabbed the accent pillows and threw them all at Han Lixue, trying to shut her up.

 " Xue! Stop saying that! He isn't normal. If someone you don't know heard you say that, they would probably either kill you or themselves!" Su Chuanli always worried about Han Lixue's stupid mouth. For some things, she was quite frank. 
Su Rushi sat and remembered the latest incident, eyes dead.
The last time they were at an award show, The three of them attended as the future CEO, the Su princess and Lady Rose. When the 'Best Actor' winner came and talked to them, Han Lixue had directly told him that he looked amazing and had an amazing body. Arthur Knox looked quite uncomfortable until she laughed and said she admired handsome men, but didn't get involved. Those two laughed for a while and Han Lixue left with a new number in her phone. That's it. She admired them. And sometimes liked looking at them, but that's it! It didn't mean that she was coming onto them! But still, if you didn't know her well enough, you would never know that! After finally convincing her not to say stuff like that, they all settled down to watch one of Han Lixue's favorite movies, E.T.  After all, their lives were about to get a whole lot busier...

She raised the greatest Business empire from the ground and controls half the world with her fingertips

He is the CEO of one of the  most established companies, passed down for generations in one of the greatest clans in history

Meeting in an odd and memorable way,
 Their story starts off weird, right from the start. 

What does Fate have in store for the two most powerful individuals in history?

"Let's head back to the building." He said pulling me up carefully to stand.


Suddenly, thoughts came evading my calmed mind one by one. My jaw dropped as realization dawned on me.



◘---------------◘


The gorillas' checklist!


First, you know you are in love with the person when you cannot stand his gaze. Minimum is ten seconds.


Check. I did blink at the last second. Didn't I? It was the beast fault because he told me it was like I wanted to plant love bites on him again.


Second, there will be an electrifying feeling whenever you touch that person.


Check again. I thought at first that this test failed, but I was wrong. I felt it, can't deny that!


Third. If that person calls your name, your heart will jump. 


Check. My heart didn't only jump, it was leaping endlessly.


Fourth. Whether you close or open your eyes, you will continually see his face.


Check, remember when I looked for soda and end up mumbling in one corner instead? He even caught me!


The fifth and the last. If you will not be able to see that person again, you will surely cry out of loneliness. 


Check again for the nth time. I did cry wildly when I thought he died. Heck!


Am I possibly in love with the beast?


◘------------◘


"OH NOOOO!" I screamed in hysteria. 


The boys checklist —all results were affirmative! I expelled a shaky breath and shook my head continuously. I wanted to drop right through the floor as I suffered from thorough disbelief. I was acting like a blithering idiot in front of the beast. I didn't know what to do right at that moment.


 I dazed over my thoughts in panic!


Suddenly...


I felt an embrace oozing all the confusion and negative emotions away. I landed on a hard chest, it was warm and had me absolutely mesmerized. I breathed in only to realize the hard chest belonged to the beast. He put one of his hands behind my neck, the other hand landed gently on my lower back. He then buried me deep in his arms squeezing me tightly. I took a deep breath inhaling his luscious scent forgetting where we were.


My body that had been so tense from all what happened earlier has a sense of tranquility now. I became composed under his warm and loving embrace. It was so enchanting I wanted to stay there all day.


Hearing footsteps close by, I was brought to reality.


Uhhh, what was he doing out here in this open place?


I was about to push him away but then decided not to since his embrace was so comforting. He then uttered something in almost a whisper.


"Hey what's happening with you by the way?" He said while still holding me in his arms. 


 "You were acting so weird since this morning and.... I feel so stupid... for not knowing what to do." He sounded worried.


His words brought me into wonderland once more. So he had been worried about me all day long? Really worried, I could tell by the tone of his voice. At the moment his embrace was so affectionate. I felt like I was some treasure which was about to be taken and he was savoring the moment while I was still in his hands.


But then again, the boy's checklist pop into my head again, reminding me of the most complicated predicament I had ever encountered in my entire life.


"Darryl" I called, my voice was shaking.


"Yes?" 


"I think I'm in love with you—crap!" I cupped my mouth to stop the words that were spilling out and looked up to see his face.


"Why did I say those? Holy cow!" I mumbled and cursed in front of him with so much regret. Colors were flooding back to my cheeks; red was the most dominant.


Another stupid move! I can't eat strawberry now, can I? I did bet strawberry earlier, right?


What was I doing? Even when those words were unconsciously and impulsively spoken, I was fervently wishing I left them unsaid.


He was shocked by my sudden revelation and didn't say a word. He just smiled. His expressions were unreadable.


 "What did you say? Say that again." There was unmistakable mischief in his gorgeous hazel eyes. His smile turned wide making his face look devilishly handsome.


I looked away flustered. I just blurted this out, how can I say it again! In the corner of my eyes, I saw his hazel eyes looking down at me trying to capture my reaction.


Heck the jerk was picking on me again!


Don't look him in the eye Xhem!


According to Greek Mythology, there is a monster they call Medussa. If he catches your gaze you will turn into a stone! 


Afraid of his mischievous gaze turning you to stone? Don't let the beast capture your eyes! I thought to myself.


"Ehhh…what I said a while ago was... Let's head back to the building, I think they will announce the winners now!" I said as I tried to find an excuse to avoid him. I turned around a second after and quickly  walked straight ahead.


I left the beast where we were standing and walked away hurriedly. I sighed deeply. Somehow I was relieved I had escaped the beast's instigation. I walked farther and farther away from the beast, then I realized something.


"Oh crap!" I clasped my head and turn back to where the beast was.


He was standing on the same spot, laughing hard when he saw me coming back.


"You are lost, right?" He asked. Yeah I was indeed lost.


 I did tell you earlier that I just ran randomly away, right? I needed the beast's help to get me back to the competition area. I am pretty sure he knew where we were right now since he was the one who found me here.


He stopped laughing when he was satisfied with how embarrassed I was.


"Give me your hand!" He commanded.


"Huh?" Before I could react, he grabbed my hand in his and started walking.


We were holding hands. Imagine the feeling that came with it, I couldn't even begin to describe! My eyes grew bigger and I bit my lower lip but walked obediently with him.


My heart was so happy I could die right now!


We walked under the scorching sun, as buildings along the busy streets towered over our shadows. I walked with my hands in his. He tightly held onto my fingers which were intertwined in his long and rough fingers. It felt like he was clinging to the only hands he cared about in the entire world. 


I let him hold my hand, not bothering to make a sound. I quietly attempted to breath in and out, afraid he could hear my heart screaming from warmth and excitement. My heart was beating frantically against my left boob. It felt as if it was calling his name over and over again. I'm really in love with him. The boy's checklist was not useless after all, I thought smiling to myself.


We headed back to the building after we arrived and spent the rest of the afternoon receiving our evaluations. We got back to the university circle around four in the afternoon. I immediately hopped out the bus first and ran fast toward the quarters. I was so happy. I was also excited to see the boys after this long eventful day. Honestly, I did miss them throughout the whole afternoon.


A few minutes after arriving, I found myself in the quarters.


"Hey, you are here already." Huzey smiled as soon as he saw me.


"Huzey!" I clung into his arms like a happy kid. I was really in a good mood.


"Hey, little thug why are you so happy? You are so happy that we abandoned you today? Or wait…" Ziggy said scrutinizing me from head to foot. " …. Did you successfully seduced that Lagdameo coach this time?"


I just ignored Ziggy and went in a daze thinking about the beast still clinging onto Huzey's arm. Huzey didn't withdraw his arm, instead he smiled at me and asked, "What's with you?"


"Nothing!" I responded happily ignoring his prying eyes.


"If it's anything about that Lagdameo coach, I suggest you drop it right away. Why don't you go and pack your things instead of clinging onto Huzey's arm like a tarsier." Ziggy exclaimed, seemingly unpleased.


"Huh?" I frowned, not getting what he was talking about.


"We are leaving tomorrow after the awarding." Huzey said tonelessly while glancing at me.


Wait.


What?


Today is the sixth day of the conference, so we are indeed leaving tomorrow. How could I forget that? I was so preoccupied with my sparkling new romance I didn't even notice it was going to end tomorrow.


That fast?


Is this the end of Xhemin's and Darryl's love story? Tomorrow, Eh?


"You okay?" Huzey asked when he noticed that my mood suddenly changed. All the brightness in my face disappeared in an instant.


''Ummm… I'm fine." l answered flatly almost close to tears.


"Liar!" Huzey retorted an accusatory tone. 


"I ain't lying." 


"C'mon what's wrong?" he repeated.


"I said its nothing...I'll go and pack up." I answered trying to brush off their suspicions.


"Really?" Ziggy asked as if he wasn't convinced. He glared at me with raised eyebrows.


Ziggy ran to my bed and snatched my animal stuff toy Cryzer. Remember my lamb stuff toy given by grandpa?


He went to the hallways' mezzanine and stood there. He held Cryzer in one of his hand and moved it toward the stairs as if he was going to let it fall over.


"What are you doing to my stuff?" I went out to ask him. How was I supposed to pack up when he was messing with my things?


"If you are not going to answer our questions I'm going to throw Cryzer down the stairs." He started threatening me.


"Then the headlines tomorrow will be— Cryzer committed suicide." Huzey said unfeelingly. He was now slumped against the wall beside the entrance of the quarters, watching over the scene that Ziggy started.


I frowned. I think the two were on gorilla behavior mode again.


"Give me Cryzer back!" I demanded as I ran toward him ready for an attack. Before I reached Ziggy, Huzey held me and put my two hands on my back. He locked me under his grip. I tried to escape but knowing how strong Huzey was, I probably will die out of fatigue.

 

Oh great, just great. The two were teaming up again against me again. Well, I hope they were enjoying themselves at my expense.


"Tell us the truth or he will be dead!"


"Let him go!" I yelled at him.


"Tell us the truth first, why were you acting weird earlier? Happy turned sad in an instant." Ziggy started instigating me.


There had only been the three of us in the hallway. I never expected that few minutes later, people from other quarters had flocked over to where we were to watch our peerless drama.


"Fine! I'm acting weird because I don't' feel like going home yet!"


"Oh.." Ziggy exclaimed looking surprised. He was faking it obviously. "And that's because?"


"Because....." I was having hard time answering the question.


"Speak or Cryzer will die!" he spoke in a tone mimicking an old and grumpy wizard.


"Because of that man." I answered trying to be careful of my every word. Gosh! These two gorillas, I'm gonna kill them both in their sleep when I get the chance!


"What's the name?" He demanded and intentionally shook Cryzer's body while hanging on his arms.


"Do I really have to tell the name?" I said unamused. I honestly was a bit annoyed.


"Cryzer or the name!" He stated, frightening me in his unusual made up cold and deep voice.


"Darryl...Lemmeul...Lagdameo." I hesitated answering it a bit. I was pretty aware that the beast wasn't around, so it wouldn't really matter. The important thing right now is Cryzer's life, isn't it?


"Hey coach Darryl!" Someone called from my behind.


Coach Darryl? The beast is here?


Hearing his name nearly gave me heart attack!

Warning: Amazingly, absurdly and deliriously funny chaps ahead. Read and laugh at your own risk.

"You are one of my many dreams, and the only dream I wish I should have chased desperately" 

Darryl Lemmuel was an aspiring engineer. There was only one word to describe him—exceptional.

He was the only male heir of the Lagdameo clan and the future of L Empire. Apart from that, he was rumored to be financially independent at the age of eight, tricked the present president of L empire—his father— into agreeing with his terms and left home at the age of sixteen to live on his own. He broke all the socialite’s rule to have a good taste of adventure! 

Xhemin Lae Dugmoch was a struggling botanist.

Enrolled in an A-list school, she knew nothing but books, experiments and strawberries. As the granddaughter of a retired famous doctor, Xhemin was very keen in keeping her profile low as per her granddad's wishes. Nobody in the elite community knew that she existed and that her grandfather’s corporation— Feather HealthCare had an heir.

One witty heir and one crazy strawberry girl; their predicament started when their life got tangled up against each other in a conference.

HE suddenly became her target prey.

And SHE was a little trouble not worthy of his attention.

The trouble he soon learned to want— so desperately and dearly wanted.
