Novel & Cerita Fearlessly

"Kaya nga we move mountains by faith." "Whatever!" Tumayo na siya at tinungo ang direksyon ng pinto. "Matutulog na ako." "Sigurado ka bang kaya mong matulog mag-isa na madilim?" "My faith is bigger than my fear of ghosts." "Naks naman! Sana all." Still, hindi niya napigilan ang mapangiti. Loko talaga!

Hindi niya kayang harapin ang sandaling malaman nito ang totoong salarin. Isang madilim, mapang-asar, at kalmadong boses ng kausap ang sumagot sa kabilang linya. "What are you so afraid of? It hasn't even traced back to you yet. Leaving the country right now will only raise red flags and blow your cover."

Sumunod siya sa likod ni Adrian, bawat hakbang parang masyadong malakas ang tunog. Pagpasok nila, isinara ni Adrian ang pinto. Soft click. Pero parang may pintong nagsarado sa buhay niya. Pagharap niya, inaral siya nito—mga matang hindi mabasa, pero alam niyang binabasa siya. “How was your morning? ” tanong niya. “Overwhelming,” sagot niya, barely holding it together. “That was expected.” Lumapit ito, mabagal, may rason sa bawat galaw. “People fear what they don’t understand. And they don’t understand you. Yet.”

Napapikit ako. Naramdaman kong kinakain nya Yung distansyang namamagitan saamin.... Damn this!!!!! "Can you please tell me the truth hmmm...." Wtffffffff....... "You can tell me what you're been afraid off...para maisan ko....and if you are afraid about heights...I won't bring you to the high places like this... please baby....just tell me...ayokong may nakikita akong takot dyan sa mga mata mo..."

“You improved. Hindi ka na yung Sol na nakita ko noon — durog, takot, hindi sigurado.” “Hindi pa rin ako gano’n katapang,” sagot ko, half whisper. “Kinakabahan pa rin ako.” “That’s normal.” Huminga siya, mabigat, pero may bahagyang ngiti. “Courage is not absence of fear, Sol. Courage is walking despite fear.” Hindi ko alam kung bakit, pero parang gusto kong umiyak. Hindi dahil sa takot — kundi dahil may taong naniniwala sa akin.

Hindi ko alam. Mas hinigpitan ni Fox ang pagkakayakap sa ‘kin kaya naman mas lalo kong ipinikit ang aking mga mata. Sa ganoong posisyon lamang kami at unti-unti ay dahan-dahang nawawala ang kaba at takot sa aking dibdib. Slowly, I’m starting to feel safe and secure in his arms.

Final war. Huminga ako nang malalim bago ko inayos ang baril sa tagiliran ko. Then I looked at him. At kahit chaos na ang buong mundo— Naging tahimik lahat sa pagitan naming dalawa. No fear. No hesitation. Just instinct. Trust. Connection. Deadly and absolute. “Ready?” tanong niya. Huminga ako nang mabigat. Then finally— “Let them fear us.”

bulong ni Adrian, habang hawak ang braso niya, “Focus. Don’t let fear control you.” Parang tumigil ang oras sa katawan ni Lena. Ang takot, adrenaline, at init ng presensya ni Adrian ay naghalo sa dibdib niya. Ngunit alam niya ang isang bagay: Hindi siya takot. Dahil ramdam niya si Adrian. At sa mundo ng madilim na lihim, panganib, at kapangyarihan, ang tanging paraan upang makaligtas ay magkasama silang dalawa.

"They manage to get to the top!" Umusbong ang malakas na bulong bulungan dito. Get to the top? Wala pa namang academic test. " Ms. Tarranza had seven fears while Ms. Galilea had four. Imagine? They are powerless, but they manage to conquer and control their own fears. " Mahina siyang tumawa, "So strong for someone who's powerless." I don’t know if what he said is sarcastic or hot.

“I’ve been on my own for so long that I’ve forgotten what it feels like to trust someone.” There was a pause, and Kairah felt the weight of his gaze on her, but it wasn’t heavy. It was patient. Caring. Understanding. “It’s okay to be scared,” Liam said softly, his voice barely above a whisper. “But don’t let fear hold you back from what could be something real.”
