Chapter 1
Ako si Lito, lumaki sa isang maliit na baryo kung saan ang buhay ay laging mahirap. Habang ang ibang bata ay may bagong damit, wala ako. Habang ang ibang bata ay may bagong laruan, wala rin ako. Ang tanging alaala ko mula pagkabata ay ang walang katapusang gawain sa bukid at ang pag-aaral.
Noong nasa high school na ako, nagsimula nang magka-nobyo't nobya ang mga kaklase ko, pero ako, patuloy pa rin sa pag-aaral. Noong araw ng graduation, habang ang mga kaklase ko ay nagdiriwang sa iba't ibang party, ako'y masayang iniabot ang acceptance letter ng unibersidad sa aking ama na nagtatrabaho sa bukid.
Noong gabi bago ako umalis para sa unibersidad, nakita ko si Tatay na nakaupo sa may pintuan, nagyoyosi. Hindi siya natulog buong gabi. Kinaumagahan, habang papalayo ako sa baryo, inabot niya sa akin ang isang bungkos ng lukot na pera at sinabing, "Anak, pagdating mo sa siyudad, alagaan mo ang sarili mo. Huwag mong tipirin ang sarili mo sa pagkain. Kung maubusan ka ng pera, sabihin mo lang sa akin..."
Umalis akong may luha sa mga mata. Ang buhay sa unibersidad ay bago sa akin. Maraming magagandang babae, at ang tanawin sa siyudad ay kahanga-hanga. Pero tila wala itong kinalaman sa akin. Patuloy akong nag-aaral at pumupunta sa library, iniisip na makakuha ng scholarship para hindi na masyadong mahirapan ang pamilya ko.
Akala ko'y magiging simple at payak lang ang buhay ko sa unibersidad, pero nagkamali ako. Isang araw, biglang pumasok sa buhay ko si Sheila, isang magandang kaklase. Si Sheila ay sikat sa aming klase, maputi, mahaba ang itim na buhok, at mahahabang mga binti. Mahilig siyang magsuot ng puting sapatos at puting sando, parang siya ang simbolo ng kabataan. Maraming lalaki sa aming eskwelahan ang nahuhumaling sa kanya.
Sa totoo lang, gusto ko rin si Sheila, pero hindi ko kayang sabihin sa kanya. Ang kahit anong damit niya ay mas mahal pa kaysa sa lahat ng pag-aari ko. Minsan lang kami nagkakausap sa library o sa mga aktibidad ng klase, pero ang bawat simpleng pag-uusap namin ay nagpapabilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
Napaka-realistiko ng mundo. Gusto ko si Sheila, pero wala akong pera o koneksyon. Wala akong lakas ng loob na yayain siyang manood ng sine.
Pero isang hapon, nakatanggap ako ng text mula kay Sheila:
"Ako si Sheila, gusto kong kumanta ngayong gabi. Ang mga kaibigan ko ay may date. Lito, pwede mo ba akong samahan?"
Pinahid ko ang mata ko. Totoo ba 'to? Hindi ba ako nananaginip? Pinisil ko ang sarili ko nang mahigpit at pagkatapos ay sumigaw ako sa tuwa. Tumakbo ako pabalik sa dormitoryo at sinuot ang pinakamagandang damit ko. Sa kabila ng mga nagtatakang tingin ng mga ka-dorm ko, lumabas ako at bumili ng siyam na rosas. Naghintay ako hanggang alas-siyete y medya ng gabi at nagpunta sa Nightlife!
Ang Nightlife ay isa sa mga pinakamalaking night club sa siyudad. Hindi pa ako nakapunta sa ganitong lugar. Mula sa labas, kita ko na ang kumikislap na mga ilaw, at sa loob, maraming kabataan ang nagkakasayahan. Kinakabahan ako, pero nagkunwari akong kalmado, dala ang mga rosas, at napansin ng mga tao sa paligid.
"Sir, ilan po kayo? Anong floor po?" tanong ng isang bellboy.
Kahit hindi ako sanay sa ganitong sitwasyon, pinanatili ko ang aking composure at sinabing, "212!"
Ang unang palapag ay para sa mga bisita, at ang mga waiter ay mga kabataan. Tahimik akong nagmasid. May pintuan sa area ng mga bisita na bukas-sara dahil sa mga pumapasok at lumalabas na kabataan. Sa loob, puno ng usok at kumikislap ang mga ilaw, at ang heavy metal na musika ay nagpapabilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
Maraming lumalabas na babae na lasing at naka-sexy na damit, at ang kanilang mga tingin ay nagdudulot ng kaba sa akin.
"Sir, dito po," sabi ng isang waiter at dinala ako sa elevator. "212, isang guest po, standby!" sabi niya sa kanyang walkie-talkie.
Ang unang palapag ng Nightlife ay isang bukas na bar, maingay at puno ng tao. Ang ikalawang palapag ay may mga private room, tahimik ang hallway, at maririnig lang ang ingay kapag may nagbubukas ng pinto.
Kinakabahan akong sinamahan ng waiter sa pintuan ng Room 212. Huminga ako nang malalim at pumasok.
Sa loob, may mga magagarang sofa, mesa, malaking LCD screen, karaoke machine, at mga ilaw na nagbibigay ng romantikong ambiance. Hindi ko maiwasang mapatitig.
Pero ang nakita ko ay hindi si Sheila, kundi ang kaibigan niyang si Lara.
Nagtanong ako, "Bakit ikaw? Nasaan si Sheila?"
Nang makita ako ni Lara, kumislap ang kanyang mga mata at tumayo. Kahit hindi siya kasing ganda ni Sheila, maganda rin siya. Maganda ang katawan ni Lara, may taas na 170cm, at mahilig magsuot ng maiikling palda at mga revealing na damit, na nagpapalito sa mga lalaki.
Lumapit siya sa akin, inakbayan ako, at hindi alintana ang pagkiskis ng kanyang dibdib sa aking braso. Napatigil ako.

Hucow: Naughty Nectar Farms
Hey, my name's Alice, and my boyfriend's name is... Yeah, no, we're not doing that song and dance. Naw. Once upon a time, I was just another girl hoping for a simple life after high school. Now, I'm ensnared in the grotesque reality of Naughty Nectar Farms (NNF), not a farm but a prison where shadows don’t just whisper—they scream with the horrors of the night.
My stepfather, blinded by greed, sold my freedom and my innocence to this nightmare. Here, I am nothing more than livestock, subjected to the twisted whims of those who see women as commodities to be bred, milked, and broken. But while they may have trapped my body, they can't imprison my will.
Each day, I hear the hushed, sinister talks of breeding and milking disguised as agricultural innovation. I see the cruel fate of my fellow captives, poked, prodded, and dehumanized. Yet in this lab of horrors, where humanity is stripped away, I hold onto one truth—they think I am weak, demure, broken. They are mistaken.
I am guilty of many things, but submission is not one of them. Here in the depths of despair, my fury simmers. I am plotting, waiting. For though they have taken much, my resolve grows with each passing day. I will lead us out of this darkness, or die trying. This is no ordinary farm, and I am no ordinary woman.
