Foolishness Novels & Stories

Zaine Do you know the feeling when you just want to disappear in a blink? This is that moment. I feel so stupid for trusting those bullies and for thinking that they’ve changed. Gusto kong umiyak, manakit, at tumakbo papalayo sa kinatatayuan ko ngunit maski ang huminga ay hirap akong gawin. Nananatiling maingay at malabo ang paligid ko. Dahil rin siguro punong puno ng pulang likido ang pagmumukha ko at wala akong lakas para punasan man lang iyon.

May pilit na iniiwasan pero iyon at iyon pa rin ang ginagawa na nagpapalabas na pinagmumukha lang nating tanga ang sarili. I felt use, stupid and worthless just because of my own shallow mind.

I have a subtle sarcastic behavior, that a dumb person cannot even hint that I am already insulting someone. "Is this what you call thoughtful? Did your brains got fried already, little Ales? You were heralded as smart but seems like they are were all wrong. You are after all, a scum and stupid." Asik niya sa akin na halatang inis na inis na. "Aliyah, teach her a lesson." Utos nito sa kanyang tagapagsilbe.

Nagpakawala siya ng isang malalim na buntung-hininga upang pakalmahin ang sarili. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Sobrang stress ko nitong mga nakaraang araw and I pushed myself to the limit," wika ni Alessandra na puno ng pagsisisi. "I'm sorry, baby." Hinaplos niya ang tiyan at muling napatingin kay Nick na nakatunghay sa kanya. "I'm sorry, Nick."

Sorry (sad emoji) Isang mapait na ngiti ang sumilay sa kanyang labi. Why is she sorry? Hindi naman siya galit kay Emena kundi sa sarili niya. He hated himself for acting so stupid. He was like a possessive boyfriend upon seeing his maid with another guy. He got pissed all of a sudden. Damn it! What the fuck is he even thinking? Very unreasonable and stupid manner. May amo bang ganun para sa kanyang maid? Dragging her because he hates the person she's been with? Siyempre, wala! Fuck!

Sa tingin ko iyon ang tama na mas okay na iyon kaysa ang malaman nitong duwag ang minahal nito, duwag na naloko ng lahat. Mas okay na isipin nitong gumaganti lang ako, kaysa ang malaman nito ang lahat at takasan ako. "Ngayon tumahimik ka Flix, dahil talaga namang totoo ang mga sinabi ko hindi ba? You failed on keeping your bitch. Hindi mo nagawang pigilan ang babaeng iyon na mapagsawaan ng lahat. You are useless. You are just miserable acting like he had grown up."

Buhay pa talaga ang itinaya sa takot na magpatuloy ang galit niya kaya namimigat ang dibdib niya at pinagsisisihan ang mga salitang nabitawan. She's not a dumb, or foolish like what he had said yesterday and unlike his first impression of her. And he knows he was really wrong at galit lang talaga siya kaya niya nasabi ang mga masasakit na salita... na hindi niya naman sinasadya... words he knows she didn't deserve at all. He realized that she's naturally selfless, not foolish and she is unpredictable and most very brave, and has the ability to solve a problem on her own and even ready to gamble her own life just for the sake of others...

“Ngayon pa lang.” “You didn’t ask? Paano naman ako nagsinungaling do’n?” “Ang paglilihim ay kakambal ng pagsisinungaling.” “Grabe ka bhie, andami mong alam.” “Uwi na lang ako, nawalan na ako ng gana.” “Hayan ka na naman, halika nga.” Hinila niya ako pero umiwas ako. “Please, don’t make this as a big deal. Kahit pa pag-awayan natin ito ng ilang taon, past is past. Wala na ako magagawa pa ro’n. Hindi ko na mako-correct pa ang maling ginawa ko noon.”

My tears blurred my vision, and I smacked the wheel in frustration. “Stupid. Stupid!” I hissed. “What was I even thinking?!” The plan was desperate. Stupid. Reckless. But it came from love… didn’t it? Hindi ba kapag mahal mo ang isang tao, gagawin mo ang lahat? Masisisi ba nila ako kung maging masama ako dahil sa sobrang pagmamahal? I wasn't this bad before. Kahit kailan ay hindi ko naisip manakit para sa pagmamahal pero they leave me no choice.

sagot naman ni Firlan, at ikinatango niya naman dahil tama naman ang meaning na sinabi nito. "Did you say Tito Firlan is a stupid person?" muling tanong ng bata. "OMSIM," sagot niya na mas lalong ikinakunot-noo ng bata. "I mean mismo. He is a stupid, foolish person," walang prenong pang-iinsulto niya sa binata. "So, you're also a stupid, foolish person?" malumanay na ika ng bata, na bakas pa rin ang ka-inosentihan ng boses.
