Another Word For Silently Novels & Stories

At sa huling entry ng araw na ‘yon, sinulat ko: > Maybe this is what it means to love someone in silence — when the world keeps you apart, but your souls remember each other anyway. That night, bago ko patayin ang ilaw, humaplos ang malamig na hangin sa mukha ko. Naramdaman kong parang may pamilyar na presensiya sa paligid. Hindi nakakatakot. Hindi malungkot. Parang yakap na hindi kailangan ng katawan. “Goodnight, Luther,” bulong ko. At sa unang pagkakataon, hindi na masakit banggitin ang pangalan niya.

He really knows how to crush me with words. "You are quiet," I told him. I know he's driving so he needs to focus but this time the silence is killing me. Silence is sometimes comforting but for now, it becomes the loudest noise inside the car. "I don't know what to say." "How about you explain to me what I saw inside your bathroom cabinet." He gasped but he doesn't looked alarmed. Tinapunan niya ako ng isang mabilis na tingin bago magsalita.

Hindi ko alam kung gusto ko bang marinig ang sagot niya. "Because..." mahina kong saad. Huminga ako nang mabagal. "You're taking care of me, and you're taking care of the baby. But sometimes..." napayuko ako. "...it feels like that's all." Saad ko saka yumuko. Nilamon ng katahimikan ang buong paligid namin. At sa katahimikang iyon… mas lalong sumikip ang dibdib ko. Kasi minsan...Silence says more than words ever could.

At doon, sa simpleng linya na iyon, may isang bagay na tuluyang nag-shift—isang tiwalang hindi na kailangan ipaliwanag. “Why are they quiet?” Ang tanong ni Ellen ay hindi galit— ito ay iritasyon. Sa conference call kasama ang legal team niya, walang sumasagot agad. “They’re not reacting publicly,” sabi ng isang abogado. “That’s not necessarily bad.” “Wrong,” putol ni Ellen. “That’s worse.” Tahimik ang linya. “Silence means preparation,” dagdag niya.“And preparation means they found something.”

Naghihintay ng isasagot ko sa kanya. "They're said silence mean yes. So I'll take it as a yes. Okay, darling." Anito na napapisil pa sa baba ko at mabilis b****o bago ako iniwañang nakatulala sa kinatatayuan.

Yung tipong kailangan mong matutong mabuhay sa tabi ng taong hindi mo maintindihan, pero gusto mo parin subukang intindihin. I’m learning to live with someone whose silence said more than words ever could. And right now, his silence was loud. Too loud.

Mariin ang pagkagat ko sa pang-ibabang labi ko, pinipigilan ang sarili na muling bumahing. The silence between us made me feel both awkward and somehow comforting. Parang gusto kong magbukas ng topic para maiwasan ang awkwardness sa hangin na ayoko rin. I want to nurture this silence because like what I've said earlier, it's comforting. It's relaxing. I feel like I'm in my own home or something.

Sandali siyang mapanganga, ngunit walang salita ang lumabas mula sa kanyang bibig. "So tell me, why do you suddenly seem to lose your mood and keep quiet? Is something on your mind?" Dagdag na tanong ko pa. Of course, hindi ba halata? Madalas ko siyang inisin dahil iyon ay nagpapapansin ako. Pero alam ko parin naman kung kailan at paano sumeryoso sa usapan.

"C-Can I hug you?" My eyes blinked rapidly watering but I couldn't utter any single words. Pero maya-maya lang ay tumayo ako ngunit nanatiling nakatalikod mula sa kaniya. The ambiance between us filled with deafening silence. Malakas na kabog ng dibdib ko ang tanging naririnig ng dalawang tainga ko hanggang sa maramdaman kong inusog niya paalis ang upuan sa likuran ko.

"Yes, Debbie. I was never angry at you or Hana. Not even Steven or Orion. Wala kayong ginawang masama sa akin." "Kasi," she said, voice softening, "We didn't know what happened to you.. pero iniisip ko rin lately, maybe not knowing was already part of the problem." I paused. She was right. But I didn't come here to hold grudges that weren't mine to carry. "I think sometimes," I said slowly, "silence isn't the crime... but choosing to stay silent when it matters? That's where the cracks start." She nodded, biting her lip. "Thorne... he's been quiet. Since the shoot. Hindi namin alam kung anong iniisip niya. Pero... we noticed it."
