Semua Bab Deceitful Desire: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Hindi naman mabigat ang ginawa ko sa kanya. Well, ilang beses ko siyang pinahiya sa harap ng tao pero hindi naman iyon big deal. Masyado lang siyang o.a- hindi naman kagandahan. "K-king... help me! Sasaktan na naman ako ng kapatid mo! She's doing it again! She will kill me!" hiyaw ni Colette na parang papatayin ko talaga siya. Gumapang siya papunta sa paanan ni kuya King na agad niya ring pinatayo. Umiyak siya na parang inapi ko siya masyado. Hinawi ko ang buhok ko at inipit sa aking tenga. Tinaasan ko ng kilay si Colette. Inaakala niya bang nasa drama kami at magpapa-api siya? Kung ako ang bida, siya naman ay ang walang kwentang kontrabida. Pathetic. Nakita ko ang galit sa mga mata ni Kuya King at Kuya Alas. Agad na lumapit si Kuya King sa akin at marahas na kinuha ang taser na itinutok ko sa leeg ng fiancé niyang malandi. Nahulog ito sa sahig at mahigpit na hinawakan ang braso ko. Napangiwi ako sa sakit. "Ano na naman ito?! Kailan ka ba titigil sa pagiging barumbado mo? You're n

“Do I look like I'm alright?” sarkastiko kong sagot nang hindi man lang tinitingnan kung sino siya.“Hmm. I know you're not, but talking to strangers might help you.” “Talking to a stranger in a bar is not exactly what I need right now.” I spat out. Bahagya kong tinanggal ang mga kamay ko sa mukha at tiningnan ang lalaking dumistorbo sa akin. He is a tall man, much taller than most of the men I have ever seen, with solidly developed muscles that he has built himself. He wears a serious face mixed with a little mystery which makes him look more handsome. His eyes were deep and they always seemed to be hiding something.On his right cheek there is a scar that reminds him of his risky past but does not make him less handsome. In summary, he is good-looking.Akala ko ay ang kagwapuhan lang ni Davin ang ma appreciate ko pero ibang- iba ang lalaking kaharap ko. Parang nagiging average nalang ang mukha ni Davin kapag magkatabi sila. He chuckled softly. “That attitude, I like it.”Even hi

"Dad.." imik ni kuya King. "There's no reason for her to get married." Nagpunas ng bibig si kuya Alas bago nagsalita. "Exactly, Dad," he interjected, "Shivani is still dealing with everything that happened with Davin. Forcing her into another relationship, let alone marriage, is unreasonable."Nabigla ako sa mga sinasabi nila. Is this their way to apologize? Do I look like I want their help? I looked at Dad. Nakakuyom ang kamao ko sa ilalim ng mesa. Gusto kong sigawan si Dad ngayon dahil dumadagdag lang siya sa stress ko pero kinalma ko ang sarili bago nagsalita. "Why now? Why this?" I asked, trying to keep composed. "It's for your own good, Reina." Sabi ni Dad at binalewala lang ang sinabi ng dalawa. "I won't force you to agree immediately, hindi rin naman ito para sa negosyo natin." "Then, what's the reason?" I asked. Dad sighed, "Davin was a big part of your life, and I understand that, but he's gone now. I just want to ensure you have a stable future. This man, the one I'm s

I reached my breaking point. The betrayal, ridicule, and shameless display of their relationship became too much. My chair screeched against the floor as I stood up, catching everyone's attention. "I hope everyone has a wonderful night," I said. "Obviously, you have found better company, and bagay talaga sa inyong magsama lahat, pareho ng mga ugali at parehong marumi. Paano kaya nakaya ng konsensiya niyong sabihin ang ganiyan habang nandito ako? Do you want me to elaborate na hindi kayo grumaduate ng college kung hindi dahil sa'kin?" Diora did not expect what I said. Chielle gasped at my words, but I wasn't finished. I turned to her and gave her a blank expression. "And you, Cielle," I exclaimed with a sharp edge in my voice, "always pretending to be empathetic, but you're the first to stab me in the back. Remember when I covered for you so you wouldn't get expelled? I guess your gratitude ran out quickly." Her face turned bright red, and you could see the shock on her face as

"At kung hindi ako pumayag?" hamon ko at sinusubukan pa rin siyang basahin.Umiling siya nang bahagya at ngumiti. "This is purely a proposal. But think about it. Kung ano man ang pipiliin mo, nirerespeto ko." Naghintay siya nang ilang saglit, parang binibigyan ako ng oras para pag-isipan ang sinabi niya. "I'll leave you to think about it," sabi niya sa wakas bago tumalikod at naglakad palayo. "But remember, opportunities like this don't come often."Iniwan niya akong naguguluhan, hindi alam kung ano ang susunod na gagawin. Zachary has vanished from my sight, but his words continue to echo in my mind. Paano kung tama siya? Paano kung ito nga ang sagot sa mga problema ko?Dumating si Mang Leo pero kahit sa loob ng kotse, iniisip ko pa rin ang sinabi ni Zachary. Ito naman ang gusto ko di ba? Opportunity na rin pero kapalit naman ay ang kalayaan ko. Iniling ko ang ulo at malalim na napabuntung-hininga. Masyado akong maraming iniisip ngayon. Gusto ko munang makalimot. I have to drink to
