LEIRA cursed herself when she woke up late. Agad siyang tumayo sa kama niya at dumeretso sa banyo, she washed her self thoroughly. She wear a dolphin shorts paired with her over sized hoodie. Mag m-me time siya ngayon dahil kailangan na niyang i focus ang utak sa isusulat niya. Luckily, natapos niya ang outline kagabi.

Wala ngayon ang parents niya, dahil umuwi ang mga ito kahapon sa bahay ng Kuya niya na si Akiron. They say they will stay there for the mean time and bothered Akiron a little. Nagluto siya ng pancake at nagtimpla na din ng gatas niya, dala dala niya ang laptop at ipad na gagamitin niya. She prepares to work on her room, pero sa kaso niya ngayon baka tamarin lang siya kung doon siya magta-trabaho.

"Owkaaaaaay! I'll start with the basic." she cheered herself.

She's not very fond of writing an Adult Romance, pero kapag may time naman siya nakakapag basa siya. Well, let's just say that she prepares to read it rather than to write it. Kakaiba ang nararamdaman niya sa katawan kapag naiisip niya ang sarili na magsusulat siya ng ganoong scene. Truth is, hindi niya nakikita ang sarili na magsulat nang ganoon. But because of his crazy boss who wants to widened her knowledge, that's what she thinks, gagawin na niya ito ngayon!

She was about to start typing for the prologue when she remembered something.

"PUTEK! WALA PA PALA AKONG TITLE!" sigaw niya habang binabaliktad ang notebook na ginamit niyang pang notes. She even scrolled up and down into her ipad notes, nagbabakasakali na may nailagay siyang title! Pero wala!

"Ano to? Natapos ko ang outline na walang title? Jusmiyo! Kagagahan mo Leira!" sinampal niya ang noo at paulit ulit na pinupukpok 'yon sa lamesa. Baka sakaling may maisip siya na pamagat. Her outline was perfect, at ang kawalan ng pamagat ang sumira sa perfection nito!

"Argghh! Lintek! Bahala na!" sigaw niya ulit at kinalma na ang sarili.

Ano ba ang nasa utak niya kagabi at nakalimutan niya ang pinaka importanteng parte ng story na isusulat niya?! Her mind was in turmoil ever since she saw her ex boyfriend, Khairus Perez. Ano ba ang meron sa lalaki na 'yon at bigla bigla nalang sumusulpot sa utak niya? Damn, he suddenly want to murder him.

"Pero nagawa ko na 'yon." bulong niya sa sarili nang maalala ang libro na naisulat niya. For her it was iconic. Ang dami niyang mura na natanggap mula sa mga Reader's niya na lubusang nagdamdam.

It was supposed to be a happy ending. That was her outline saying, but her mind was saying otherwise that the end of her story became tragic. Masyado siyang nagpadala sa bugso ng damdamin niya. Sa lahat ng story na naisulat niya, even if she denied it a lot of times, Khairus was always the leading man. Ang lalaki na 'yon ang laging nasa utak niya kapag nagsusulat siya.

And that day, ang araw na isusulat na niya ang pinaka huling parte ng story niya, was the day when Khairus leave her. Nang hindi nagpa-paalam. Nabalitaan nalang niya sa mga kasama nito na... He grab the opportunity and flew abroad. Naiintindihan naman niya ang lalaki, na mataas ang pangarap ni Khairus. Hindi naman niya 'yon ipagkakait sa kanya, she waited patiently. Naghintay siya na pagdating nito sa kung saang lupalop man ito nag punta, tatawag ito sa kanya but there's none. He did not call or did something to contact her. Hanggang sa mapagod nalang siya sa kakahintay. 

Sa sobrang sama ng loob niya sa lalaki, nadamay pati ang mga readers niya. Sulat lang siya ng sulat noon habang umiiyak, hindi niya namalayan na lumiko na pala siya at nawala na sa ouline na ginawa niya. It was supposed to be a grand wedding but ended up as a grand funeral for the male lead.

"I actually murdered him in my book." para siyang baliw na natawa sa sarili. She tapped her cheek and started to type fast in her laptop, sulat lang ng sulat, mamaya na ang revising.

"WHERE'S my books, Ves?" tanong kaagad ni Khairus nang makapasok siya sa office ni Ves. Nginuso ni Ves ang mga libro na nasa lamesa nito. Umawang ng bahagya ang bibig ni Khairus, labing isang libro.

Maninipis lang ang iba, pero may isang libro na naiiba. It was thick. Khairus think that he needs to start reading the thick book first, bago ang mga maninip na libro. Kinuha niya 'yon at tinignan mabuti ang book cover, it was a woman back with full of lashes.

"Drop that one. I suggest basahin mo muna ang mga maliliit, that book was a curse!" Ves hissed as he sharply looked at the book he's holding. "Damn, I lost my manliness because of that!" he added.

He smirked and raised the book. "Ves, you do realize that's this is just a book. Why would someone lost his manliness because of a book?" Khairus scoffed as he stared at the book, bahagya siyang napangiti ng makita ang pangalan at pirma ni Leira.

"Basahin mo para malaman mo." nang hahamon na sabi ni Ves sa kanya. Khairus shrugged, mayabang niyang tinignan ang kaibigan at umupo ng maayos sa sofa na nasa harapan ng table nito. He raised his legs and place it on his table.

"Just because this is my sunrise book, I will lose my shit. No! Never!" mayabang na ngumisi siya kay Ves. His friend cocked his head and smirk smugly at him.

"Okay, sabi mo e."

Khairus opened the book and started reading the prologue, he can't help but to felt proud of Leira. She really knows how to pull herself up, ang akala niya dati wala lang kay Leira ang pagsusulat. Because she always choose to ignore it, wala doon ang pansin nito. But look at her now, her writing skills was smooth and her choices of words was really good. Wala siyang ibang masabi sa gawa ni Leira. He's not being biased, he was just saying his opinion. Kahit hindi niya naman ex ang babae, he's still probably gonna compliment her work.

Paiba-iba ng posisyon si Khairus sa sofa habang nagbabasa. Nang makalahati na niya ang libro, realization hit him. Napangiti siya sa sarili, he was the leading man with a different name and Leira was probably the female lead. May ibang scene sa libro na isinulat ni Leira ang nangyari sa kanila noon. Hell, Khairus didn't forget all of that! How he pampered her and all!

"Ves! It's me! The guy is me!" sigaw niya habang tumatawang nakatingin sa kaibigan. Ves looked at him flatly.

"Ah talaga? Now I understand Leira." bulong nito pero hindi iyon nakatakas sa pandinig ni Khairus. Tumalim ang tingin niya kay Ves, pero hindi na siya pinansin nito. Khairus rolled his eyes and focused on the book he's reading.

Hindi nalang pinansin ni Khairus si Ves at pinagpatuloy ang pagbabasa. Damn, he's a man but he can't denied thr fact na kinikilig siya sa t'wing naaalala niya ang mga nakasulat sa libro ni Leira. That was his memorable moments with Lei, if she just give him a chance, he'll make a new and best memories with her. Umabot siya ng lunch na nakahiga, naka upo, o kaya naman ay nakapatong ang isang paa sa lamesa ni Ves habang binabasa ang libro na sinulat ni Lei.

"Ang bilis mo mag basa. Kumain ka muna o!" itinulak ni Ves papalapit sa kanya ang isang box na galing sa isang fast food.

"Later, tatapusin ko muna 'to." he said and focused his eyes on the book.

Ves shrugged. "Bahala ka."

His heart sank when he reached the conflict of the story, damn. This was real and none of her readers knows about it. None. It's just him and Lei. Umalis ang lalaki sa story ni Lei nang hindi nagpapaalam, ganoon din ang nangyari sa kanila noon, he leave and didn't have the guts to contact his girl friend and explained to her. A coward. That's what he is.

"Sana ganito lang ka simple na mabawi ko si Lei..." he blurted out. Napatingin sa kanya ang kaibigan na nagbabasa din ng manus ng mga ibang writer.

"That's fiction, but you can apply it to yourself tho, hindi ko lang alam kung gagana kay Leira." Ves smirked at him. Khairus sighed heavily as he continued reading it. "Leira was currently writing an Adult Romance genre, maybe you can help her?" tumingin si Ves sa kanya pero agad din nitong ibinalik ang tingin sa computer.

"I don't know a few things about writing, Ves!" he hissed at his friend.

"I know that. Pero bastos ang bibig mo, you can simply put your naughtiness into a words, that's a big help for Leira." Ves said.

Tinignan niya lang si Ves. Pinag-iisipan nang mabuti kung paano malalapitan si Leira ng hindi ito makakalakad papalayo sa kanya. He must caught her off guard, yung walang lulusutan na butas. He smirked playfully and bit his lower lip.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" He shouted when he finished the book! The man died! No! He died on the spot! He was murdered!

"Ano nga ulit sabi mo kanina? Ikaw yung lalaki?  Ang ganda ng story niyo ni Lei no?" humagalpak ng tawa si Ves, muntikan pa itong malaglag sa kinauupuan nito sa sobrang tuwa!

"Shit! I'm gonna ripped off your head, Ves!" sigaw niya at nilusob ang kaibigan na tumatawa dahil sa kamiserablehan niya! That was a good story, why ended it miserably!?

LEIRA stretched out her arms and legs. Minasahe niya din ang batok pagkatapos ay sinunod na in-stretch ang likod. Nangalay ang likuran at ang puwet niya dahil buong araw lang siyang nakaupo, medyo nagluluha na din ang mga mata niya.

"Hm... Prologue plus three chapters? Not bad, self! Napaka productive mo ngayon!" she balled her hands into a fist and raised it.

Sinuklay niya ang buhok na abot hanggang sa balikat niya, she didn't need to revise it again because she was writing carefully earlier. Ingat na ingat siya sa pag ta-type, iwas typographical. Para kung may eedit man, grammatical errors na for sure minimal lang naman.

Kumunot ang noo ni Leira nang may kumalampag ng malakas sa gate niya. Her eyes sharpened and walk angrily to face the demon who's continuesly slamming her gate! Mas lalong tumaas ang presyon niya nang makita si Khairus ang kumakalampag sa gate niya, he was using his butt and elbow to make a noise!

"What the fuck is your problem?! Maling gate ang kinakalampag mo tanga!" sigaw niya sa lalaki. Khairus smiled at her like he didn't disturb her.

"Hi! Good afternoon!" He smiled brightly. Typical Khairus, hindi ito napapagod ngumiti.

"Walang good sa afternoon, lalo na kung mukha mo ang nakikita ko!" pagsusungit niya. Hell, she's still remember what he did to her year's ago! Hindi siya madaling makalimot.

"Wews? Parang dati lang pinagnanasahan mo ang ka gwapuhan ko." mayabang na rebut nito sa kanya. Leira cocked her head a little and leaned against the door, umasim ang mukha niya nang ngumiti na naman si Khairus at kinindatan pa siya.

Letse! Ang gwapo pa rin ng hinayupak!

"Sayo na rin nanggaling. DATI." pinagdikdikan niya sa lalaki ang salitang 'dati'. She rolled her eyes when Khairus didn't even lose the smile on his lips.

"Anyway, Ves told me you have a very big and complicated project? He told me to help you."

Leira scoffed. Siya? Khairus? Ang malanding lalaki na nasa harapan niya? Tutulungan siya sa pagsusulat? God! Leira wanted to laugh and smashed Ves head on the wall, that man! Hindi na nga niya alam kung paano lulusutan ang pagsusulat ng bed scene dadagdagan pa niya ang magiging suliranin niya sa buhay!

"Ano na naman ang maitutulong mo aber?" she asked and raised her left eyebrow.

"Marami." he simply answered.

"Like?"

"Giving you a full details how a woman and man fuck? Wait lang... tama ba yung term na ginamit ko?" he said and turned his back on her to think. Ibang klase talaga ang lalaking 'to!
"Ah basta! I'll help you in any way I can. See you tomorrow sunrise!" he said and walk towards his house.

Damn, did he fuck woman a lot abroad? It pisses her off.
