Novel & Cerita Fearlessly

“Hindi naman kita pinapaalis, ‘di ba?” Umupo siya sa tabi ko, at sandaling tumahimik kami. Parehong pagod, parehong puno ng iniisip. Pero ngayong gabi, sapat na ang presensya ng isa’t isa. “Elle…” simula niya, mahina, “…you were strong back there.” “Hindi ako strong, Zian. Takot na takot ako.” “Exactly,” sabi niya, sabay tingin sa akin, “Being strong isn’t the absence of fear—it’s standing firm despite the fear.”

Ang bawat salita nito ay may halong galit, takot, at frustration, na parang pinipilit nitong ilabas ang lahat ng nakapaloob sa loob nito. Kent exhaled slowly, keeping his voice calm even as his chest tightened. “Mae, listen to me… we’re scared, I know, but panicking won’t fix anything. We’ll take it one step at a time, okay? One step at a time.” He tried to keep his tone reassuring, knowing she needed something solid to hold onto, even if he himself wasn’t sure of every next step.

Naintindihan na din ni Aiden ang lahat kahit mahirap iyong tanggapin sa kanyang parte. Aiden might be claiming that he's mature enough but the fearlessness that he shows towards the faeries is the proof of his immaturity. It doesn't mean that you step back from a stronger person, you are already a coward. It's survival and your decision will change your future and your fate.

Dumaloy aa pisngi niya ang luhang hindi ko alam kung ano ang dahilan. "Mommy, why are you so fearless, ha?" His hands were shaking while holding my palm. "You don't know how nervous I am when you weren't here beside us. We're so worried about you, because I thought people around tend to hurt my mommy," he said, his voice was soft, yet, the pain is invisible through every words.

sigaw niya habang nakapikit ang mga mata. Napailing ako. Hindi kapani-paniwala na ang isang astig at walang pusong mafiang gorilla ay takot mahulog mula sa himpapawid. Ito ang pinakamalaking takot niya. If Diezel is scared of heights, Morris is afraid of needles. And me? Huh, I'm not fucking scared of anything at all. "Landing in five hundred meters, Leone." I mouthed in the line and pushed the little button on my chest. And then the parachute swayed smoothly, gliding into the thin air.

Kael finally said in a low voice, “being scared is normal. Fear means you actually care. But if you let that fear control you, you’ll never know if what you’re holding back from could’ve been something real… something lasting.” Naramdaman ko ang paghagod niya sa likod ko, na para bang naiintindihan niya ang nararamdaman ko. Napakagat labi ako at mabilis pinunasan ang luha sa gilid ng mga mata ko.

Doon ko nakita ang matinding takot na nakaukit sa kanyang mukha nang magtama ang aming mga mata. She wasn’t afraid for her own safety—her fear was for me, for what might happen to me. It was written all over her face—in the way her eyes darted anxiously and her jaw tightened with worry. “No!” Fana shouted. The man said something to her—words I couldn’t quite catch—before turning to me with a grin that sent a cold wave down my spine.

Nararamdaman niya ang malakas na kabog ng kaniyang dibdib ‘What is this feeling? Is this fear? A-Am I…scared?’ “N-No way…” na-ibulong ni Alexander sa kaniyang sarili tapos naghuling tingin siya kay Nathan na matamis pa rin ang tingin sa kaniya. “Your crazy!” Nabulyaw ni Alexander dahil sa takot na kaniyang nararamdaman. Nang marinig ni Nathan ang sinabi ni Alexander sa kaniya ay muli siyang kumurap kurap at nawala ang kaniyang ngiti.

Hinila ni Chaerin ang hem ng damit ni Chase kaya nag tatanong ang kanyang mga matang tumingin sa anak. "Why don't we try Ferris wheel, daddy. That ride is good and also... roller coaster for more intense."Natulala ako sa sinabi ni Chaerin. Sinasabi niya palang sa daddy niya ang gusto niya nasusuka na ako. "I agree."Masayang sabi ni Blake. Tumingin ako kay Chase na hindi pa naka imik sa sinabi ng anak. His afraid of that. A gangster is afraid of Ferris Wheel and roller coaster, more on afraid of heights.
