Engineering Stories

By twenty-two, Zainab Bello had perfected the art of disliking men without apology. Not quietly. Not politely. Loudly, deliberately, and with enough reasons to justify it. Men talked too much when they knew too little. They took space like it was owed to them. They listened only when it suited them. And if there was one thing Zainab was certain of, it was this: any room that required her to shrink for a man was not a room she intended to stay in. So when the white Benz scratched her car and sped off without an apology that morning, she didn't see an accident. She saw proof. NOT A HALAL LOVE STORY!!!

MAKE ME A SLAVE Written by Marika Xan & Kami Teaser ---------- Dear Diary. I didn't notice when our story started to change. I have a confession. Sa kabila ng inis ko sa kanya, minahal ko siya. Natutunan ko siyang mahalin. Nung una, masarap, exciting, worth it. But then we hit the middle part. Just like the diary I'm reading, just like the story I'm writing... our story together slowly started to change. Parang hindi na siya ang lalaking kasama ko na binubuo ang aming kwento. Gusto ko siyang tanungin kung bakit. Pero natatakot ako na baka... bumalik kami sa kung paano kami unang nagkakilala. Tiniis ko ang lahat ng iyon... kasi mahal ko siya. Baka iniisip ko lang. Baka mali lang ako. Pero hindi e. Tama ang pakiramdam ko. He cheated on me. It hurt. Akala ko mahal niya ako. Ako lang pala ang nagmahal. The saddest part... is when he used me. I wanted to beg him. I wanted him to make me a slave just to be with me. But I decided not to. Because I'm Kammee Suntierra El Farma. A woman who can't beg. A woman who won't go down to the lowest of lows. A woman who slowly forgets everything... even her own heartbeat. And maybe... I already did. Romance Sexual Scenes Raw/draft: 2024 Revised/edited: 2026

She fell first. Or at least, that's what she believed. It felt obvious to her-the way her heart raced at the sound of his name, the way she memorized the smallest things about him as if they were secrets meant only for her. She thought she had been the beginning of it all. And when he fell- He fell harder. Or so she told herself, stitching comfort into a story she needed to be true. But love has a way of rewriting memories. Because the truth was far quieter, far more dangerous- He fell first. And he didn't just fall harder. He never stopped.

Alethea "Thea" Villanueva is the textbook definition of a stubborn wild child-late-night parties, whiskey on her breath, and college dropout headlines trailing her like scandalous perfume. She's the only daughter of a wealthy family in Manila, loved endlessly by her mother but constantly clashing with her strict, disapproving father. Fed up with her rebellion, her parents make a drastic choice: send her away from the city's chaos to the quiet life in Palawan. Thea expected boredom. Sunburn. Maybe even punishment. She didn't expect Jude Mercado-the quiet, broad-shouldered "cowboy" of the province. He's calm, hardworking, and grounded in ways she's never known. He also wants nothing to do with her. Word spreads fast in small towns, and Jude already knows she's a reckless city girl with a messy past. But Thea wants to prove she's more than her reputation. And slowly, amidst mango trees, dirt roads, and warm Palawan sunsets, she finds something worth changing for. Maybe even someone worth staying for. But can a city firecracker truly belong in a simple life? And will Jude ever believe she's more than just the headlines?

A short story loosely based off the events of the Titanic with a small tidbit of fantasy.

At IISER Thiruvananthapuram, twenty-two-year-old Niharika lives her life by the laws of physics. Her world is a series of controlled experiments: a grueling final thesis, a tight-knit circle of brilliant, chaotic friends, and a singular, calculated trajectory toward a doctorate in Germany. She is the scientist of her own life, convinced that every force can be measured and every variable accounted for. Then comes the uncalculated rhythm. Standing at her hostel gate, Hanish, the silent constant of her childhood. He is the boy who once shielded her in a crowded temple when she was sixteen, and the man who now stands before her as a successful Aerospace Engineer. He isn't just a family-arranged proposal she already intended to refuse; he is a disruption to her entire frequency. As the morning mist of the Kerala canopy blurs the lines between her academic ambitions and a decade of unspoken memories, Niharika's "proven theories" begin to fail. Through stolen glances on the badminton court, late-night tea cycles, and the sudden, breathless silence of a Sunday morning encounter, she realizes that some heartbeats don't follow the laws of logic. Between the dream she's running toward and the man who feels like home, Niharika must decide: Is Hanish the one variable that ruins her equation, or is he the only gravity strong enough to hold her world together?

Will they finally choose each other? -or lose each other all over again? He let her go. She never did.

The storm hammered against the bus shelter, a rhythmic counterpoint to the frantic beat of my heart. Across from me, under the shared overhang, sat a man I'd only ever seen from afar - Denzell. A gust of wind whipped rain into the shelter, making me shiver. He looked up, our eyes meeting across the narrow space. He offered a small, hesitant smile. "Quite a storm, isn't it?" he said, his voice a low rumble that sent a surprising thrill through me. "It is," I replied, my voice barely a whisper. A warmth spread through me, a feeling that had nothing to do with the damp chill of the night. Isang komportableng katahimikan ang namayani sa pagitan namin, na nababasag lamang ng patuloy na pagkidlat ng malakas. Bumalik siya sa kanyang ginagawa, pero ako'y naakit sa paraan ng paggalaw ng kanyang mga daliri sa libro na hawak niyo.Pinanood ko siya, na para bang nahipnotismo, hanggang sa tumingin ulit siya sa akin, may tanong sa kanyang mga mata. "A- ah I'm Cazziah," I said, offering my hand. "Denzell," he replied, but he didn't take my hand. it felt almost insulting that he didn't shake my hand. Malakas ang kidlat at alam kong mas lalakas pa ang ulan ngayong gabi. Ilang oras na rin akong naghihintay dito at ang tagal ng bus. Wala akong dalang payong at baka mabasa pa ang mga papel ko, umupo ako sa tabi ni Denzell pero may malaking pagitan pa rin sa amin.
