Envious Novels & Stories

Nakakainis din na nagja-judge sila agad ng tao dahil sa inggit. How can people be so envious when they can be happy for others? How pathetic. “Red…” seryoso na ang tono ko this time. “They’re staring.” “I know,” he answered coolly, then looked down at me. “Let them stare.” “Ha?!”

Umungol pareho nang walang pagpipigil saka kasabay no'n ang pagsipsip niya sa magkabilang ut*ng ko. Gosh... This feeling is so addicting. Oh... Vina you're such a freaking h*rny and you're being cornered because of your f*cking jelousy.

Sabat samin ni Av kaya pareho na sila ngayon ni Jaz na nakangisi sakin.

Ni ang sulyapan iyon muli ang nahihirapan na siya. Dali-dali siyang humugot ng stick ng sigarilyo at sinindihan. Her hand was pathetically shaking while she was popping from her cigar. She felt something that was synonymous to enviousness. Iyong pakiramdam na may mabigat na bagay ang nakadagan sa kanyang dibdib, ganun mismo ang nararamdaman niya sa mga oras na iyon.

Matinding inggit dahil sa akin pinamana ang lahat samantalang ampon lang ako ng mga magulang ko at siya na kamag-anak na naghahangad ay hindi man lang naambunan ng pamana.

“I already told you, I’m not sad. I’m just envious.” “Envious of the venue? Or to the wedding couple?” “To everything,” I said. Bumuntong hininga. “Will it bad?

VINCENT TRECKK DELA VEGA. I looked up only to see that he's on his table facing with his laptop. He is holding his chin while studying something. Smirk conquered on my lips because of the idea that had played in my mind. How ironic na ganito pala siya kaseryoso sa trabaho where in fact he hates the word seriousness. Ngayon ko lang siya nakitang ganyan kaseryoso.
