Echo Of Her Voice นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Hinagod ng hinlalaki ang screen, para bang sa sandaling iyon ay hawak-hawak din niya ang kamay ng lalaking matagal na niyang hinahanap-hanap. “Hello…” mahina niyang bati, halos isang bulong. Walang sagot agad. Pero narinig niya ang mahinang paghinga—mabigat, pagod, at tila punung-puno ng iniipong damdamin. “Vee…” garalgal ang boses ni Eros. Puno ng emosyon, parang pinipigilang humikbi sa kabilang linya. “God... I missed hearing your voice.”

Parehong-pareho pa rin. At doon nagsimulang kumunot ang noo ni Cassian. He leaned forward in his seat, eyes locked on her. That voice… that emotion… bakit parang— At lalo pang lumalim ang pagkalito niya nang sumabog ang chorus. Her voice soared and full of soul, parang awit ng pusong ilang beses nang nabiyak. Cassian’s chest tightened. His fingers curled on the table.

The sound of the waves lapping against the cliffside. Ngunit hindi pa rin maalis-alis ang bigat sa dibdib niya. “Beautiful night,” a voice said behind her. Nanigas bigla ang katawan niya. Pamilyar na pamilyar ang tinig nito. Then she turned—and there he was. Elias. Dressed in sleek gray, with a glass of whiskey in his left hand, his eyes shimmered under the warm lights. “Elias,” she muttered, stepping back. “What the hell are you doing here?”

And I swear, it only made her more interesting. “Hon, you make it sound like you actually wanted to see me,” sagot ko, playful pero may subtle edge. “Parang disappointed ka pa.” Doesn’t she hear my background noise? The faint sound of engines, the distant horns, the soft scrape of gravel as may dumaan na motor malapit sa’kin? Ah right… noise cancellation. So unless magsabay-sabay ang ingay sa paligid ko, wala talaga siyang maririnig.

“Remmington... Remmington... Rem...” Naalimpungatan ako sa narinig. It was her soft voice calling out my name. Gusto kong imulat ang mga mata ko pero nang maalala ang nangyayari sa amin ngayon ay nanatili akong nakapikit. Inabot ko kung saan nakalagay ang cellphone ko. It was vibrating along with her voice calling out for me.

My voice echoed, and my heart almost leaped out of my chest when she jerked her body after hearing my name. Napakapit siyang mahigpit sa puno at pilit ang ngiting binigay sa akin. "D-Don't worry. I'm okay here, Glenn… G-Gusto mo ba ng buko? Ikukuha kita. Alin ba dito?" Maingat ang galaw ng ulo niya at tinitigan ang bunga sa ibabaw. "Get down, Erykah. Now! Get the hell down. Now!"In my scared but resolute voice.

Umupo ako at pinagmasdan siya. Sabog ang buhok niya sa mukha niya. She looks terrified. Taas baba ang dibdib niya dahil sa mga enerhiyang sinayang niya kanina. She swiftly wondered her eyes around the van before returning it to me. “Sino ka?” she asked. Lumunok ako at tinignan siya. It’s my first time hearing her voice up close and damn it’s sounds so fucking good. It’s like music to my ears.

Good girl "Rise and shine!" Naalimpungatan ako sa narinig. My eyes are still closed but my brows furrowed at the familiar high-pitched voice. It's obviously my Mom. I'm sure it's her. My forehead then knotted in confusion. Why is she here?

Ngunit muli lamang umiling ang dating ako. At sa pagkakataong iyon, pakiramdam ko ay muli kong narinig ang tunog ng pusong unti-unting nadudurog sa pagitan naming dalawa. Halos hindi na mapigil ng dating ako ang paghikbi. *]:pointer-events-auto R6Vx5W_threadScrollVars scroll-mb-[calc(var(--scroll-root-safe-area-inset-bottom,0px)+var(--thread-response-height))] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" data-turn-id="97930219-1dcd-47d5-9972-6af4f746add1" data-turn-id-container="97930219-1dcd-47d5-9972-6af4f746add1" data-testid="conversation-turn-46" data-scroll-anchor="false" data-turn="assistant">

aniya, sabay hakbang palapit sakin at siya namang ikinaatras ko. Mas lalo akong kinakabahan sa lalim ng boses niya. Parang kaboses niya iyong nag-vo-voice over sa mga audio ng isang dark romance book. Muling lumalim ang ngisi niya. "Did you feel turned on by my deep, low voice?" Napangiwi ako, kunwari'y nandidiri. "Gagi ka ba?! Kadiri nga eh!" Pero, hindi ko maitatanggi na kinilabutan talaga ako at hindi ko rin alam kung sa takot ba o sa ibang bagay.
