Eyes. Eyes are the windows to your soul... that's what they told me.
It's been ages. Many years have passed away, but I still wonder what my soul looks like. Is it pure, sweet, solemn, radiant, and innocent? Or is it... dark, violent, murderous, and shameful?
I wanted to know. I still want to know...
I was curious about my own soul and essence. About my purpose. But sadly, even if there's someone willing to glimpse through the window, fear would overtook their faces.
Or worse, they die...
Umukit ang mapait na ngiti sa akin nang muling binalikan ang lahat.
Iyong mga panahong musmos pa lang. Tanging problema lang ay tumakas tuwing Sabado o Lunes para masaksihan ang pagsikat ng araw.
O hindi kaya'y ang mga ganid na tao na gusto raw, hindi umano, na kunin ang mga mata ko kaya dapat ay laging suot ang artipisyal na maskara.

Epilogue (1 of 2)"Dibs on the girl, man."Malayo pa lang pagkatapos kong siguraduhing nakapasok na sa mansiyon ang batang babae, nagpantig agad ang tenga ko sa bungad ng kaibigan.Fablo lifted his glass while leaning on the post lazily. He saw the entire thing from the distance, me scolding the little girl to go back to her room. I knew he was watching us.Umismid na lang ako at nagpatuloy sa paglalakad."Stay away from the little girl," I warned when I got closer to him.He laughed cockily. Akala ata'y nakikipagbiruan ako."Oh, man. Little girl my ass! Did you see her? Dude, she's a lady! A very fine lady. I haven't seen any woman that shy and reserved. Only her, man!" He chortled like a horse. "I'll make her scream like an actual woman, you'll see."He grinned smugly as he played with his glass, like he's already plotting his plans inside his insignificant skull.By that, I tasted an

Epilogue (2 of 2) "I'm sorry, Liz, but I can't. I have a lot of things to take care of. I have plans and..." Umiling ako at bumuntong-hininga. "I can't come with you..." She stood and her eyes flared at me. "You will, Zaro! Akala ko ba mahalaga ako sayo? Akala ko mahal mo ako? This is just a small thing to-" "Matagal ko nang nilinaw kung ano tayo, Eliza. Alam mo kung hanggang saan ka lang." She was being uncontrollable and hysterical. Iyon ang nabuo sa isipan ko. I know she's going through a lot of pain but I don't think it should be a license to hold someone by the neck. I will help, that's not a question
That's What They Told Me Special Chapter
Special Chapter"Azul! Azul ang color ng brief ni Azul! Nyenye!"I frowned at my female classmate, Jianne Rhed. The other girls giggled with her as they flocked to my table.Our break time just started and they're already here to pester me like the usual. I frowned more as I glanced over my shoulder to see if it's true.But then I realized, Moma gave me a red underwear. I laughed kasi may naisip na response doon."That's bad. Bakit ka naninilip sa akin, ha, Jianne?""Yieee!" the class teased.Jianne's face flushed. "Inaasar lang kita kasi hindi mo ako nipansi
That's What They Told Me Prologue
Prologue "Open your legs," he whispered drunkenly. Without ado, I obliged willingly like a four-year-old kid desperate for her doll toy. But needless to say, what's in front of me was far from a mere toy.It was hard, huge, and saluting—something erecting. Something restricted to children. My lips twitched at that thought. Children... Even with these fiery sensations I was enduring, I groaned at the back of my head chanting I'm not a fucking child anymore. Not even a little girl. Definitely not. I confirmed it when a soft moan fled to the thin air, apparently coming from my mout
That's What They Told Me Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Message Eyes. Eyes are the windows to your soul... that's what they told me. Then I wonder what my soul looks like. Is it pure, sweet, solemn, radiant, and innocent? Or is it... dark, violent, murderous, and shameful? I want to know. I'm curious about my own soul and essence. But sadly, no one's willing to take a glimpse through the window. Tumingala ako, dinama ang kapayapaan, ang sariwang hangin ng pang-umagang araw. Kasalukuyan akong nasa ilalim ng isang matayog na puno kaya nalilimliman kahit papaano. Mula sa taas, tanaw
That's What They Told Me Chapter 2
Chapter 2Safety"Hoy, Lumi!"I locked my lips as I turned to a familiar voice. Isang nakabusangot na Jackie ang tumambad sa akin.Syempre, alam ko na ang pakay nito ngunit labag man sa loob ay inensayo ko na ang gagawin."Jackie," I smiled, the more reason for her to be furious.Pagkatigil sa harap ko, nilahad niya ang kamay at tila inip."Iyong papel, akin na.""Tungkol don, Jackie, sorry. Dahil sa trabaho kanina sa kwadra, hindi ko namalayang naiwala ko 'yung papel."Hindi pa man ako tapos sa sinasabi, napamulagat na siya sa pinaghalong gulat at inis."Ano?! Kainis ka naman, Lumi, e!"Bahagya akong napayuko. "Pasensiya na talaga.""Bigla mo kasing hinablot! Tapos burara ka naman pala!"Hindi na ako nagsalita at tinanggap na lang ang mga sentimyento nito.To be honest, I don't know what's gotten into me that I have to resort to mendacity
That's What They Told Me Chapter 3
Chapter 3BuffaloMy cheeks flushed when I reckoned what's that about. Is he... perhaps... concerned about me?He said it's for my safety... Why? Are those guys up for something when they told me to come with them?Truth be told, I really did feel something strange earlier when they talked to me. But it wasn't enough warrant to judge them, especially when they're being nice to me. Something that is really precious for me.People being friendly... Having friends, having someone to talk to, being my true self when they're around.I smiled inwardly. Wow. Is it possible to experience that?Habang pabalik sa mansiyon ay hindi ko maiwasang tanawin ang matatayog na bakod at pader. Nakapalibot iyon sa buong lupain ng Castellano.May mga pagkakataong nawawala sa isip kong mayroon noon dahil napakalawak naman ng buong lupain. Kaya parang hindi rin dama ang pagkakakulong dito sa loob ng ilan
That's What They Told Me Chapter 4
Chapter 4MattressI still can't believe it. My first kiss in everything was stolen by Zaro! It also doesn't help that he's unconscious and oblivious. He can't remember a thing! Tuloy, hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong matuwa o sumama ang loob.It's not fair though. He should at least... remember it, I guess?I derided to myself. What for, Lumi?Kinaumagahan noon, mula sa patio ay tanaw ko ang pagpanhik ng kanilang grupo patungo sa kwadra kanina. I think they planned on sauntering around before going.Linggo ngayong araw kaya naman maagang umalis si Nana para magsimba kasama ang ilang kasambahay. Samantalang ako, naiwan dito sa mansiyon.Wala namang pinapagawa sa akin ang matanda ngunit hindi ko pa rin maiwasang hindi magtampo tuwing Linggo. Hindi nila ako sinasama. Bawal daw akong lumabas.Kasalukuyan akong nasa silid habang nakahalumbaba gamit ang parehong kamay, nakatanaw kina
