Be Careful Who You Trust Novels & Stories

Tinaasan niya ng kilay ang kapatid bago lumapit at bumulong. "Phoebe, don't you remember what Mom told us?" He asked, gentleness evident in his voice. "Don't trust strangers." They said in unison. Aphrodite nodded and turned her head to the side, trying to take a look at me. "It's good. That your mother taught you that, seems like Quira raised you well,” Napagtanto ko na mas mabuti pang hindi ko muna sila piliting tanggapin iyon, besides they're young.

Hindi dahil sa kung ano ngunit kung sino at kanino. Trusting someone is a huge movement in every individual's life. We take things for granted because of not seeing what things really are. We are scared to face the reality that someone close to us may hurt or betray us in a blink of an eye. We lose identity by choosing what others want, like and believe in. We hide the truth by letting lies ahead of us. The power of being blind in the face of danger.

He nodded at ang huling sinabi niya bago siya matapos kumain ang mas lalong nagpalito sa isip ko. "Don't trust too much to the people around you, Bliss because you don't know what their true color is."

Kumain siya. “So maniniwala ka pa ba na may mga taong tapat sayo?” “Sean. Di naman lahat. May mga taong mapagkakatiwalaan mo talaga.” “They are pure treasure Zhia. Mahirap hanapin. Oo di ko nilalahat at kaunti lang ang taong ganyan Zhia. But… I warn you. Be careful who you trust because as quickly as they say they're your friends is how quickly they can turn their backs on you.”

Gulong-gulo ang kanyang isipan. Habang binabaybay ni Kairah ang mga bagong hamon sa kanyang kumpanya, ang mga mensaheng natanggap mula sa hindi kilalang numero ay hindi na niya maialis sa kanyang isipan. "Don’t trust everyone around you." Malinaw ang mensahe, ngunit ang tanong ay, kanino ito patungkol? Isang bagay ang tiyak, ito’y isang babala, at isang babala na hindi basta-basta. Puno ng mga katanungan, nagsimula siyang mag-isip tungkol sa mga tao sa kanyang paligid. Sino ang maaaring nagpadala ng mensaheng iyon?

I know you wanted to have a good time, but you were way too out of it last night. You need to be careful . . . if some other guy had found you like that, you could’ve been in real danger. Next time you drink, make sure you can handle yourself or stick with people you trust.”

Pahabol niyang tanong. "Napaginipan ko si Fil Am kagabi," nahihiya kong sabi. "Tapus?" "Yun lang, basta mahabang kuwento." Pag-iwas kong sagot sa kaniya. Kasi, sa mundong ito. We don't know who can be trusted and kung sino pa yung tinuturing mong matalik na kaibigan ay sila rin pala ang gagawa ng paraan para kaladkarin ka pababa. Kung ano pa yung alam nila tungkol sayo na iniingatan mong sekreto ay sila rin pala ang magpapalabas at magkakalat ng baho mo. So, you should be careful and tricky sometimes to avoid fake friend schemes.

I was angry at that time kasi kailangan ko pang iwan lahat ng ginagawa ko including my online class para doon. Napabuntong hininga ako ng naalala ko lahat ng iyon. Everybody was really taking easy on me. They can trick anytime they want kasi nauuto naman talaga ako. I don’t bother asking others opinion kasi if someone told me an info, i really trust everything they say. I am afraid that if i would not believe in them they would be upset, kaya trust is really a big deal for me.

I hate to think that they played us, but I most hated to think that we easily trust these people and we let them play us—they were able to play us. I just learned that you don't need to be kind always, you still need to build some boundaries and walls. Madali nila kaming nabihag sa kanilang patibong dahil sa sobrang pagtitiwala. I also perceived that it is not enough that you know someone for too long, because if he plans to betray you, he can do that anytime he wants as they can also disregard the years that you're with them. Those years will never be enough.

Kumbaga… sa larong chess kami ang mga pawn niya at siya ang player na nagdidikta kung ano ang kakalagyan ng bawat isa. Pero, iisa lang ang tumatak sa isip ko na sinabi ni Boss Arthur. ‘ Don’t trust too much because every ‘too much’ will hurt you so bad’ Noong una, hindi ko siya maintindihan pero kalaunan na napag-isip isip ko, naiintindihan ko na siya. Maaring ibigay mo ang tiwala mo sa lahat pero ‘wag mo ibigay ang LAHAT ng tiwala mo sa kanila dahil masasaktan ka ng sobra.
