Afraid Meaning Novels & Stories

I cried more harder. Seeing him distance himself away from me pains me but it makes me safe. It was starting again. I am trembling again. I am afraid again. Afraid of everything. Afraid to trust them. To be near them or see them. I am tired and afraid of all. My mind thinks calming down but my body wasn't.

"Horses are sensitive. Why'd you seems like afraid to travel around with a horse where in fact, mas mahilig ka pa nga sa horseback riding kaysa sa akin noon." Nakagat ni Ava ang labi dahil isa pala iyon sa kaibahan nilang dalawa ni Avery. She's afraid of heights lalo na kung maggalaw ang isang hayop ay talagang magtitili na siya dahil sa takot. "P-people do change, Creed. Nabanggit ko na iyon sa iyo kanina—"

Pinagmamasdan ko ang lalaking akala ko’y walang bahid ng takot. Pero ngayon, nakita ko siyang ganito. Nanginginig ang kanyang mga kamay. Pilit niyang itinatago ang panginginig, pilit niyang pinatatag ang kanyang tindig, pero hindi niya ito maitatago nang tuluyan. He is afraid. Afraid of being cornered. Afraid of dying.

Ano pa ang gusto niyang sabihin? "A-Are you .. scared of me?"

Konti nalang bibigay na. I never appreciate others' feelings because for me it's just nothing. A distraction, a waste, and a useless thing in this world. It'll just destroy you. To change you into someone you'll never imagine. "You're afraid..." He whispered. I want to answer that I'm not. Being afraid is not part of my world. Kahit kailan hindi ako nakaramdam ng takot. Why would I be scared? If deep inside I know that I'm scarier than what I'm facing right now.

Parang ayaw iparinig sa iba. Huminga ako nang malalim. "More than nervous. Afraid." "Afraid? Of what?" Hindi ko masabi. Hindi ko kayang ikwento. Hindi pa. "Because it’s the Madriagas," dahilan ko saka pilit na ngumiti. "Big name. Who wouldn’t be afraid?" Tumigil siya saglit, parang sinusuri ang sagot ko. Hindi siya naniniwala nang buo—alam ko. Pero hindi rin siya nagpilit.

"What?" ​"You're afraid of me," ulit niya. "Not in a literal sense. I know you're not scared of me like that. Pero emotionally. Psychologically. You're terrified of what I represent. Every time na lumalpit ako, umuusog ka. Every time na nag-attempt akong mag-start ng real conversation, binabara mo ako with professionalism. What are you so afraid of? What about me specifically terrifies you?" ​Hindi ako makasagot. Paano ko ba sasabihin na natatakot ako kasi baka magpadala na naman ako? Baka maging tanga na naman ako?

Afraid of falling into the same abyss… again.

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.

He looked at me immediately. And that was the problem. The terrible, dangerous problem. No matter how hard I tried to hide it… My entire body reacted to him. Julian saw that too. I watched something dark shift behind his eyes. Something possessive. Violent. “You love making her afraid of you,” Adrian said coldly. Julian laughed once. “You think she isn’t afraid of you, too?” Adrian didn’t answer. Because maybe Julian was right. Adrian terrified me differently. Not because he controlled me.
