Battle For Happiness Novels & Stories

"I spent my whole life building a fortress, thinking that money was the best protection. Pero nung nakilala kita, narealize ko na ang totoong fortress ay 'yung peace of mind. I'll fight everyone to keep this peace." Ilang minuto ang lumipas, bumaba na si Maya karga ang isang bagong gising na si Hope. Ang buhok ni Hope ay nakatayo sa lahat ng direksyon, at ang mga mata niya ay bahagyang singkit pa dahil sa antok. "Good morning, my little boss," bati ni Dante, kinuha ang anak namin mula kay Maya. "Gutom na ba ang baby ko? Look, Daddy made breakfast."

Muling nagpambuntong hininga si Happy ng makita niya ang savings niya. "Siguro aabot pa ang savings ko habang naghahanap ako ng ibang papasukan kong company. Atleast may last payment ako sa YZ, but still bakit biglang bumagsak ang ang YZ Entertainment!" reklamo ni Happy na napalakas ang boses kaya ilan sa mga nakakasalubong niya ay napapatingin sa kaniya.

"Happiness." Nagkatunog ang mapang-uyam na tawa ni Jace. "Happiness? So you find happiness by bluffing people and forcing them to do as you want? Seryoso, kung hindi ko lang kailangan ang pirma mo sa clearance ko for this school year hindi kita papatulan. Dapat nagpresidente ka o kaya rime minister. Ibaba mo ang martial law tapos ampunin ninyo lahat ng orphan sa --" "I'm happy seeing one less lonely person around me. I'm happy seeing you happy."

The zombie looks like a bouncer. Halos mapatalon sila ng bigla itong mag-umpisang maglakad papunta sa kanila. Sa dami ng zombies na nakaharap ni Deiji, ay ngayon lang siya naka encounter ng ganito ka masculine na zombie. She wasn't expecting it. And it makes her heart skip a beat.

Saka kampanteng tinitigan siya na hindi pa rin maka-get over sa inilatag nitong deal. Napakagat-labi siya. Talagang gagawin niya ang lahat, manalo lang siya. If she would win, she could get two prices in hand—ang fifty thousand worth na pang-shopping mula kay Matt, at ang lalaking si Jester na noon pa man ay pinapangarap na niya. But if she would lose, that would be the most dreadful nightmare for her—ang ibigay ang sarili sa matalik niyang kaibigang palikero. _____________

sagot ko. Pagkatapos ng tawag ay tumingin ako sa bintana. The towering buildings of Velmoria City stretched endlessly into the sky—shining, alive at malaya. Para silang paalala na may mundong naghihintay sa akin na wala ang pahamak, paninira, at kontrol ng pamilya Vargas at Hale. Bumuntong-hininga ako at ramdam ang bigat na unti-unting nalalaglag mula sa balikat ko. At sa wakas, for the first time in a long time, I smiled freely. Malaya na ako.

“But only if you promise to smile, okay?” Ali laughed softly, the tension easing from her shoulders. “Okay… I promise.” As they moved through the apartment, Ali realized that despite the fear, the uncertainty, the shadows of illness and worry, she was safe. She was loved. And in that love, she found strength—a reminder that even in the hardest moments, happiness could still exist, even in small, quiet ways. And as Vaughn handed her a little wrapped box, her heart skipped. Inside was a tiny charm shaped like a strawberry, sparkling under the morning light.

Bulong niya at sinubokang hawakan ang aking kamay. Mabilis akong umatras para hindi niya ako mahawakan. Humarap ako sa media at ngumiti. I need to act as if I'm the happiest man of the universe. That I am happy with this arrange marriage. "They look so good together!" "I'm rooting for this successful marriage!"

Bahagyang napasinghap sila at napaatras na parang mga dagang nakakita ng isang pusang gutom at handa silang sakmalin. I’m back! Yes, I’m back! I’m back for my revenge. So better be wise enough to play because this is much more exciting than her game.

Ito na yata ang misteryoso at pinakamasahol na pagpapatakbo ng palasyo. I miss suddenly miss nanang. Kung nandito lang s'ya, hindi ako mangangamba at mababahala. "The best revenge is to kill them with your happiness. No one else can defeat you, when you're happy. Move forward and make your own identity." That's what she said bago s'ya umalis ng bansa.
