Be Careful Who You Trust นิยาย & เรื่องราว

He smiled at me using his most charming smile he ever showed me. I looked at him suspiciously and think. Tama pa ba ito? All my life, I've been reminded the same thing over and over again. They kept on telling me to the extent that I could say it myself verbatim. "Stay away from people. It's for your safety." "Pinag-iingat lang kita, Lumi. Para ito sa kaligtasan mo kaya huwag na huwag mong kakalimutan, ha?" "Mga ganid ang mga tao sa labas. Kaya hindi ka dapat basta-basta nagtitiwala. Hindi ka dapat padalos-dalos ng kilos. Lagi mong iisipin ang kapakanan mo."

Isa na namang email na wala pa ring IP address ang kan'yang natanggap. "Be careful of whom you trust!" ito ang nabasa n'yang laman ng ikalawang email. Sa pagkakataong ito ay nagpasya na s'yang sagutin ang email na natanggap. Baka may makuha s'yang importanting impormasyon mula sa tao na nagpapadala sa kan'ya ng email.

Ang sakit sakit lang, kase lahat naman ginawa niya para rito pero niloloko pa rin siya nito. Life has taught her that you can't control someone's loyalty. No matter how good you are to them, doesn't mean that they will treat you the same. No matter how much they mean to you, doesn't mean that they'll value you the same. Sometimes people you love the most, turn out to be the people you can trust the least.

mahinang sabi niya. "What do you mean?" napatigil ako "Masyado kang mabilis magtiwala," bulong niya habang dahan-dahang lumalapit. "Huwag kang basta-basta nagpapadala sa mga pinapakita at sinasabi ng mga tao sa paligid mo... Be very careful with who you choose to trust." Napaisip ako nang malalim sa huling sinabi ni Brion. Mabilis ba talaga akong magtiwala? Akala ko ba kilala ko na talaga ang mga taong nakapaligid sa akin?

I just stayed in my seat, not even paying attention to the woman who came to my home. "Be careful what you say, Serana. You don't know anything" Quinoa's voice was emphatic and scary, even I looked at him, because of that. His excessive restraint is obvious. This is one of the things Quinoa and I talked about, that you shouldn't immediately believe what other people say. We have to believe in what we see, and feel in our hearts, and not in stories that are made up to pretend to be high in the eyes of other beings.

"Last na lang talaga ito. Mag-iingat na ako at siguro… baka… hindi na rin ako makikipagkaibigan? I don't know, basta ayaw ko ng magtiwala uli." Napasinghap na lang ako. Mukhang nagsisimula ng mapagtanto ng isang ito ang mundong ginagalawan niya. Isang kasalanan ang magtiwala nang buo kahit na kaibigan pa ang turing mo. Sa industriyang ito ay marami ang naniniwalang hindi ka aangat kung wala kang aapakan. Kaya kawawa lang ang mga walang kalasag laban sa mga traydor sa paligid nila.

sagot ko habang niyayakap din siya pabalik. “From this moment on, do not trust anyone except me. Do not open messages from unknown numbers, do not go anywhere alone, and do not talk to strangers—even if they say they know me,” mariing paalala niya habang tinitingnan ang aking mga mata. “Can you promise me that?” Kinakabahan na ako ngayon. Kung ito ay simpleng problema lang sa negosyo, bakit parang may kinalaman ito sa kaligtasan ko?

It's a bit boring on that part, actually. But now, looking back, I can say, all was worth it. It happened because I wanted it to happen. I made it happen. "You'll get there. Don't be scared. Just trust yourself." Trust. Such word, deep meanings. It has to be earned. I wish people just need to trust themselves other than people. They'll break it, anyway. Tumawa siya. "I can't believe I'm hearing that from you!" Tawa niya. Napairap ako.

“Ali, listen to me. I don’t trust Caio. He is a shady man. When I run a background check on him, I couldn’t find any fault. Walang taong perpekto, alam mo ‘yan. Maliban na lang kung marami siyang itinatago at may imahe na dapat ipanatili. Let’s go back before it’s too late.” “Do you think I’m dumb? I don’t trust him either. But I love making fun of him. Kaya ko ang sarili ko, Zhan. Hindi mo na kailangang manatili rito para lang mabantayan ako. The Triad will surely look after you, it’s only a matter of time before they’d found you here.”

A sound echoed down the hallway. Footsteps. My heart jumped. “Go,” I whispered urgently. Adrian didn’t move immediately. His eyes stayed on mine. “You’re not safe here.” My chest tightened. “I never was.” A pause. Then— “You have to trust me.” My breath caught. “Do I?” His expression darkened. “Yes.” But that— That was the problem. I didn’t know who to trust anymore. Not him. Not Julian. Not even myself. The footsteps got closer. “Go,” I said again, more urgently.
