Novel & Cerita Awestruck

It was like I was counting every minute that passed. I paid attention on the lectures but my eyes would always land on my wrist watch almost every minute. Tila ba hinihintay na pumatak 'yong oras na pwede na akong umalis at magtungo sa kung saan kami magkikita ni Sir. I never felt like this before. Ngayon lang ulit ako na-excite sa mangyayari. The feeling was so strange but in a good way.

I dropped my jaw and widened my eyes as the crowd went still and then applauded. "Congratulations!" "Wow! Finally, it is happening!" "Congratulations, bagay kayong dalawa.." "You deserve this, Sharon..you deserve to be happy." "Congratulations, Mr. Razon." My hand slipped from Adrian's grip. I was so stunned to move. Para akong kandila na natulos sa aking kinatatayuan. I felt so numb and the tightening of my chest was so intense that I was gasping for air. I open and close my mouth. I wanted to confront Adrian who is standing an inch away from me yet I could feel that he was slipping away from my side. It was impossible for me to talk.

Ni hindi ko alam kung paano ko nairaos ang sayaw na iyon habang yakap niya ako sa kaniyang mga bisig. That exact moment, I felt like I was bound in a spell. I was lost in my own paradise. Got stuck in there and I'm turn into staying or going back to where I suppose to be. Then, all of a sudden, his lovely face with a sweet smile plastered in his lips showed up to me, making my heart pounded so loud and fast...again and again and again. Until, I'm almost out of breath. I gasped. "Hey, are you okay? You look pale."

Hindi pa. Pero habang tumatagal yung katahimikan— mas lalo niyang naiintindihan. At doon ko nakita yung pag-iiba ng expression niya. Shock. Fear. Disbelief. Then something deeper. Something raw. “...You’re pregnant?” Basag yung boses niya. Mahina lang akong napalunok. At sa wakas— dahan-dahan akong tumango. Dead silence. Literal. Parang pati hangin tumigil.

I gasped harshly as I opened my eyes. Air rushed into me like I’d been underwater for too long. Mabigat ang paghinga ko at agad na bumangon mula kama. My whole body shook with the memory of impact even before my mind had caught up. Aaron went to me, worried. Mabilis ang paghinga ko at agad na yumakap sa kaniya. “That was… terrifying.” I groaned and took a deep breath. The word barely covers the cold that slid down my spine.

"Malapit na ako, Treve! Ah! Shit!" In a split second, the explosion took my senses. Napahiga ako nang tuluyan at tinakpan ang aking pagkababae gamit ng aking palad, basang-basa iyon. My whole body shook and an electrifying feeling enveloped me from head to toe. Tila nakuha noon ang lahat ng lakas ko. Nagmumura na si Treve sa pandinig ko at tila ako'y nasisiyahan sa naririnig mula sa kaniya.

Ang kanyang puso ay kumakabog, hindi lamang sa takot kundi sa kakaibang koneksyon sa lalaking ngayon ay humahawak ng kanyang kamay. Pagdating nila sa paanan ng bundok, tumigil si Kael saglit. Inamoy nito ang paligid, parang hayop na may matinding pakiramdam sa panganib. Nanatiling tahimik si Amara, pinagmamasdan ang pagbabago sa ekspresyon ng kanyang mukha—mula sa pagiging malamig at seryoso, ngayon ay alerto at mapanganib.

Nararamdaman ko na ang pamamawis ng aking mga palad sa sobrang excitement. "Malapit na tayo!" tili ni Astria. "Mama, are you excited? I'm excited!" Ang lakas na ng boses niya, tila wala nang iniindang anumang sakit o pagod mula sa mahabang biyahe namin. "I'm nervous," natatawang sagot ko, habang ang puso ko ay tila sasabog na sa kaba at saya.

Derick muttered. The door opened. And then everything stopped. Lahat kami ay natahimik at hindi makagalaw sa bawat isa, sa mga nakikita namin. My heart stopped. My arms trembled against Derick’s shoulders. The world tilted— What… what am I looking at? Even Calix’s eyes mirrored the shock I felt.
