Afraid Meaning Novels & Stories

Napatahimik siya bigla at namutla. “You act like you don’t care anymore, but you’re afraid,” bulong ni Alfred sa malalim na boses at tinitigan ang anak. “Nakikita ko ang takot sa mga mata mo. Ayaw mong mamatay.” Hindi sumagot si Vivianne at umiwas lang ng tingin. Hindi niya kayang makipagtapatan ng tingin sa ama. Totoo kasi ang sinabi nito. Takot na takot siya, ngunit kailangan niyang paglabanan ang nararamdaman para maligtas ang lalaking minamahal.

"I-I'm afraid." "Are you afraid of me?" he raised his eyebrow. "No not literally you. I'm afraid of myself na baka-oh nothing!" hindi niya naituloy ang sasabihin niya. "What is it sweetheart tell me?" "Please, huwag mo nalang muna alamin iyon. Bata pa ako para sa ganoong bagay."

My heart sank. Why can't I be normal? Why can't I just be like them? Like what others are? Why am I different? Paanong nakakaya nila 'yun habang ako ay hindi? Anong ginawa ko para maging ganito? I'm.. afraid. I'm afraid of what tomorrow might bring. I'm scared that even though Frida's accomplices are not here with her, she might still be able to win the hearts of many here and create a brand new troop.

He's so cute. "No, you're not weird as you think, feeling scared to love someone is completely normal. It's a sign that you're human, that you've been through life's ups and downs, and that you're cautious about who you let into your heart. But don't let the fear hold you back. Sometimes, the most beautiful things in life come from taking risks and opening yourself up to love, despite the uncertainty."

"It does." "Do you feel that too?" "Yes." "Then maybe we're both afraid of the same thing." "Maybe." Pero bago siya tuluyang bumitaw, tumingin siya sa akin. "Amire, whatever this is, I don't think it's dangerous." "I don't think so either." "And I don't want you to be afraid of it." "I'm not afraid of you." "I know." Bahagya siyang ngumiti. "I'm starting to think you never were."

Pagdating niya sa kuwarto, agad siyang nagkulong sa banyo at doon umiyak. She’s afraid. Afraid for the uncertain days that was sure to come.

“Now, kill me if that’s what satisfies you all! Pero ito ang tatandaan niyo, nakaabot na sa FEAR ang tungkol sa inyo! That’s right, I’m ready to risk my life for the sake of this country!” FEAR? Hindi ko alam kung tanga ‘to or what, matagal na naming kalaban ang military organization na ‘yon pero kahit minsan ay hindi nila kami napabagsak. Tinakot niya pa ‘ko? Alam ba ng matandang ‘to ang sinasabi niya? Agad namang umalma ang isang lalaking nakasalamin na mukhang isa sa mga journalist dito. “Pero Sir, hindi pa huli ang lahat! Mag-isa lang siya, marami tayo!”

Ang mga mata nito ay hindi umaalis sa kanya. “And you look at me like you're afraid.” Mahinang napalunok si Lena. “I like that.” Ang simpleng pangungusap niya ay nagdulot ng kakaibang gulo sa isip ni Lena—takot at pagnanasa ang sabay na naglalaro sa bawat hibla ng kanyang damdamin. Hindi niya alam kung paano lalaban sa damdaming iyon, at parang bawat titig ni Adrian ay tila kinukulong siya nito.

"What are you afraid of?" Lumingon si Frederick at marahang niyakap ang babae, ang boses niya'y napakalambing na tila nang-aakit. "Natatakot ako na masira ang pamilyang Garcia, natatakot ako na kami ni Jasper ay maging walang pangalan at hindi na makikilala habambuhay at natatakot ako na pagtanda ko ikaw ay... magbago."

“You thought I wouldn’t care? Or that I’d turn my back?” ‎ ‎Hindi na niya napigilan ang pagtulo ng luha. “I was afraid, Kaiden. Afraid of everything, afraid na hindi mo ako paniniwalaan, na baka isipin mong ginagamit kita. Afraid na baka… mawala ka.” ‎
