What have I gotten myself into?
Gusto ko lang naman maging artista pero ano 'to?!
I never thought things will go that way.
Well, sa totoo lang, I genuinely thought she was into me. I mean, I'm a man and I know what signs to look after when an opposite-sex approach you, and not to mention that she's a total knock-out beauty at that. How can I refuse such an invitation? Of course, a dinner with her would be nice.
But damn, I'm wrong.
She's wild. Instead of taking me to a restaurant and to eat, she took me straight down to a hotel.
And she said she's still a virgin.
No way.
This is got to be one of those things.
The one going around media. The famous one.
Yeah, that's got to be it.
This is just a prank
...Ah, it's morning already. Kung hindi dahil sa sikat ng araw na nakatakas mula sa maliit ng gap ng bintana, hindi ako magigising. I'm not a morning person. I always make sure that my room is covered in curtains before sleeping. That way, when morning comes, I won't be bothered by any form of sunlight. It's not that I forgot about doing it. Hindi ako yung taong basta-basta nakakalimot sa routine ko. However, this time it's different. It's Tuesday morning. Something is changed. Yeah, I see now. It's because he's not here. Sa mga ganitong oras nagluluto na yun ng breakfast namin at gumagawa ng iba pang chores. He's that kind of dependable brother. ...Where are you? It's only been just a night and I already miss him. No, it's wrong. I can't say it like that because people mi
Madilim parin simula nang nagkamalay ako. Medyo nahihilo ako pero I think I can manage. I'm barely keeping my composure. If not, kanina pa ako nagsisigaw-sigaw dito na parang baliw. ...How long will this continue? Where are they taking me?" Gusto kong itulog na lang para makalimutan ang mga pangyayari pero I have this feeling na kapag natulog ako, nakapiring parin ako ako paggising ko and I don't like that. Don't get me wrong. I like darkness. It's comforting and I dare say it's rejuvinating but this darkness is quite different. ...Because I'm a freaking captive right now. Hindi ko rin ma-enjoy ang feeling ng mga hita ng babae na hinihigaan ko kahit gustuhin ko man dahil sa sitwasyon kong ito. Hindi na rin ako nagsubok na pumiglas pa dahil who knows, baka kalampagin nila ulit ang likod ng ulo ko para mawalan na na
Hanggang ngayon hawak-hawak ko pa rin kaliwang pulso ko. Hindi ko rin maitago ang panginginig nito. Nakaupo akong tulala sa kawalan habang pinagmamasdan ang lalaking may dahilan ng pagkakaganito ko. Nakahiga na siya at walang malay pero nandito pa rin ang kaba sa dibdib ko. ...That scared the lights out in me. If not for Yula, baka kung ano na nangyari sa akin. Wait, anong mangyayari sa akin kapag nagpatuloy yun? Anong gagawin niya? I have no idea. I have researched his background and I know he's not the type of person that will go off like that. Hindi ko inaakala na magagawa niya yun. Wala naman akong ginagawang mali. Teka, mali? Wala nga ba talaga? Narinig niya kaming pinag-uusapan ang tungkol sa kapatid niya kaya ganun na lang ang galit niya sa akin. I'm a Frey
I should've stayed asleep, for all I care. Sana hindi ko na narinig ang lahat ng 'yon. Hindi din sana ganito ang nararamdaman ko. If not for those words, I won't be sympathizing with her like this. But here I am listening to her. ...What a drastic turn of events. Maybe I should've stayed last night and at the very least listen to what she had to say. That way, this wouldn't have happened. Tinanggal na niya ang mga tali na nakapulupot sa mga kamay ko. Still that girl, Yula was it? That maid sure is strong. I kept on taking hits from her at the back of my head ever since we've met. Bigla tuloy akong nag-alala sa kondisyon ng katawan ko, lalo na sa ulo ko. Anyway, that rope work is amazing! I don't know what's happening but I feel like something weird awaken within me. It's like I'm beginning to understand why masochi
...What the heck is going on?! Bakit andami atang bulaklak sa paligid? May namatay ba? Where is this place? This is not the afterlife, right? Napansin kong hindi ako nag-iisa dahil sa ingay ng paligid ng mga sama-samang boses ng tao na unti-unting dumadami na para bang may napakalaking okasyong na magaganap ngayon. Akala ko nasa Valhalla na ako dahil sa mga suot ng mga tao dito na parang bang Medieval Times ang theme. Almost all of the people around are wearing expensive looking robes. ...Is this some kind of a fairytale of some sort? Agad pumukaw ng atensyon ko ay ang mga sundalo sa bawat pillar ng gusali na nakasuot ng animo'y bakal na baluti. I was amazed how realistic they look even from afar. Makikita mo rin na bawat isa sa kanila ay armado ng mga bakal na sibat.
Good day! How are you guys holding up during this pandemic? It's my first time using this free chapter option. It says here that you can comment here about everything and ask me whether regarding the story or regarding me as a writer. I'll be happy to read them here. Anyway, putting those things aside. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Yunero Molaza, an aspiring writer in GoodNovel. I'm grateful for this opportunity that I get to participate in this contest which goes by the theme "Marriage before love". I've always dreamed of becoming a renowned novelist and becoming an author that can publish my own book. I hope that this opportunity will lead to my success. I know that I'm still a rookie when it comes to writing and I've bee
Nakakunot ang noo ko habang tinatahak ang daan ng november avenue. Birds are chirping above the trees as if singing their praises while basking in the ray of sunlight from the almighty sun. And if you try to focus a little, you can hear the distant rustling of leaves from the trees. You can also see fellow students are walking side by side, chatting about their daily lives. When you look around, your eyes will see and you'll surely say, everything looks so bright and colorful. Sweepers greet us with cheerful smiles as we walk idly in the streets while they do their sweeping business. I exhaled in satisfaction. This day is great! It's great but something is bothering me. It was supposed to be a happy morning but now, not anymore.
...Ah, what a wonderful day this is. Nag-uumapaw ang excitements sa puso ko habang papalabas ako ng classroom nang may isang kaklaseng lumapit sa akin at tinawag ang pangalan ko. "Yo, Joseph?" Sabi nito. "Sa itsura mo ngayon, mukhang gagawin mo na talaga ah?" Dagdag niya habang tinitingnan ang expression ko. "Yeah, this time for sure. I'm going to have a taste of it again."Sabi ko. "How many tries does that make since your last?" Tanong niya. Tinaas ko ang kamay ko para ipakita ang figures. "Your fifty-sixth try?" Sa gulat niya ay muntik na niyang mahulog ang dala niyang wallet. "Yeah, believe me, once you have tried a taste of it, you'll get addicted to it. Dalawang beses pa lang akong nakakakain nito. I swear, man. It's a taste of heaven and hell." I explained while gesturing with my h
