Envy Sayings Novels & Stories

“That's for expected, Real, I don't mind.” “I mind, so don't talk like it's nothing,” sinamaan ko siya ng tingin at hindi sigurado siyang ngumiti. “I just told you I don't trust you, but it's not only you. And there's a saying to come close to your friend, and to possible enemies closer. Haven't you heard of that?” Bigla siyang napasinghap. “That's saying... isn't originated here lady,” halos bulong niyang sabi.

Hindi ko narinig ang sinabi niya, pero hindi ko mapigilan ang kilig ko habang pinapanood sila. Are my parents also like that to each other? It would be great if I could see them like that too. Envy crept in my insides. Uminom ako ng tubig para hindi nila mahalata ang nararamdaman ko. I shouldn't have thought of that. Sinasaktan ko lang ang sarili ko. "Now that it's settled, we can finally eat! Baka lumamig na iyang pagkain sa harapan natin."

Kaya napatango na lang ako. " Syempre marunong, pero mas bet ko lang talaga mag ingles eh kaya sorry," yan naman pala eh marunong naman pala. Intindihin na lang natin galing sa mayaman eh mga englishera haha diba ang unfair. Pag mga mahihirap mag ingles sabihin " Abnoy di bagay sayo oy " pero pag mga mayayaman naku ang cool pa tsk tsk. Unfair ni Earthy!

Tito Hugo complimented. "Oo nga ang ganda mo, Ate." segunda naman ni Kate kaya napatingin ako sa kanya. Pwedeng magsinungaling ang bibig pero hindi ang mga mata. I can see the word, 'envy' in her eyes clearly, in bold letters. "Ikaw rin, you look—" hinagod ko siya mula paa hanggang ulo nang ilang beses. She looks outcast. Mali ata ang napasukang party nito.

Ramdam ko ang lamig, galit, pagkasuklam at pagkabigo para sa taong itinuring mong kaibigan at kapatid. Pinunasan ko ang luhang tumulo. Naiiyak na pala ako ng 'di ko manlang namamalayan. “I am sorry.. I just.. envy of you..” Mahinang bulong nito bago binagsak ang siko sa kaniyang tuhod bago ipinatong ang kaniyang noo sa makayukom na kamao. Sisingsisi ito sa bagay na nagawa na kahit kailan ay hindi na mababago at maibabalik pang muli.

napaiwas ako ng tingin dahil sa sinabi nito. "Actually, I envy you," she uttered, her voice laden with bitterness and longing. "Because no matter how painful it is, you can still muster a genuine smile. You have a supportive family and friends; you are so lucky... and your son. Think about him, it's not just you who lost, he did too." Her words hit me like a tidal wave, washing over me with a mix of guilt and resentment. She was right—I shouldn't bear the blame alone. It was his fault, his deception that shattered our lives into a million irreparable pieces.

Sabi ko dahilan para matigilan sya. Napatawa sya nang pilit dahil sa sinabi ko ngunit binigyan din ako agad ng masamang tingin. "I fucking envy you, you said?" Inis na sabi nya. Ako naman ngayon ang nakaismid sa kanya. Pakiramdam ko na nalipat na sa akin ang pag-asa na manalo sa aming dalawa. "I got it right, right? Everything you did to me was because you think I'm better than you." Asar ko sa kanya.

It was a scene ripped from a fairytale, a perfect family portrait that mocked my own desolate existence. A bitter taste flooded my mouth. Envy, sharp and corrosive, ate away at me. It wasn't just the wealth, the sprawling mansion, the effortless grace of their lives. It was the love, the genuine, unadulterated affection that bound them together. Something I had never known, something I craved with a ferocity that bordered on madness.

"Yes, tutal nag-uusap na rin lang tayo, inabala mo na rin lang ako." Doon na na siya natawa muling ibinalik ang tingin niya sa malayo at muling huminga ng malalim at nagpakawala ng marahas na hangin, ramdam ko ang bigat. "I was an assh*le... I was full of envy.." panlalaglag niya sa sarili. "I hate seeing people happy, while me... being stuck to where I was."

“Kahit anong sabihin mo wala akong pakialam ang gusto ko lang ay lumayo ka kay Sayna habang nagtitimpi pa ako sa ‘yo.” “Baka kapag nalaman mo ang totoo ay tuluyan kang mabaliw. Lagi mong tatandaan Enver wala ka dapat pinagkakatiwalaan bukod sa sarili mo. Hindi mo alam kung sino ang totoo mong kalaban.” “Hindi na kailangan kasi alam kong ikaw lang ‘yon.”
