Freedom In Japanese 소설 & 이야기

‎I REFUSE ‎ ‎Avianna's POV (Part 1) ‎ ‎Kung may isang bagay na gusto kong maranasan sa buhay ko, iyon ay ang kalayaan. ‎ ‎Hindi pera. Hindi marangyang buhay. Hindi ang pagiging tagapagmana ng isa sa pinakamalalaking kumpanya sa bansa. ‎ ‎Kalayaan. ‎ ‎Nakakatawa, hindi ba?

"G-ganther..." "Freedom. Choose to leave this place than waving a war because of nonsense reasons. Stupidity if you didn't listen to me. Be stupid and let them treat you like a dog with a leash. I'm giving you your piece to move freely. When I say freedom isn't not just leaving this place and running away but letting yourself decide on what you want. This game is played by all and all the players should have the right to choose. " Tumalikod na ako pero ng may maalala ako bigla ulit akong humarap.

"Akala ko nasa simbahan ka. Kanina ka pa ba rito? Bakit ka nandito? Freedom is knowing what you need in life and having the voice to demand it. It is knowing what you need from partners, friends, and family and settling for nothing less. It is taking care of yourself and not feeling guilty. It is about allowing yourself to indulge in the things that make you feel alive. Freedom is never allowing yourself to settle for things that are less than what you want, need, and deserve. "Hinihintay ka. Obvious naman ata."

Sa sandaling sinabi niya ang mga ito, biglang tumakbo sa iba’t ibang direksyon ang mga dumadaan. Kahit na mukhang sobrang galang ng lahat sa Japanese society, sa totoo lang, karamihan sa mga Japanese ay sobrang lamig at walang pakialam. Ang ibig sabihin ng ganitong walang pakialam ay sobrang galang nila sa labas, pero sa loob nila, gusto lang nilang umiwas sa gulo. Walang gustong gumawa ng gulo para sa iba, lalo na ang hayaan ang iba na gumawa ng gulo para sa kanila.

“I just wanted to have some fun since I never had a chance to go place like this when I was still in Axia.” “Well, you can’t really go in a place like this because you are a public figure,” sabi ni Jyn. “But at least have someone to stay at your side when you are having fun. This place is too dangerous for someone like you.” I frowned. “Like me?” He nodded. “A person who believes that everyone has their freedom to do what they want expecting that all people that they might encounter will just accept it without question.” “Isn’t that what we really have?” I said. “Freedom to do what we want but be sure not to hurt anyone?”

"J-Just do anything you want, Klyton---" "It should be babe, not Klyton." What the h*ll. "Anong katarantaduhan---" "You should talk calmy. Japanese people hold their temper like how they hold a glass of wine on their hands," sermon sa'kin nito. Palihim naman akong napairap. "F-Fine." "Put your hands on my arms, okusan." "Okusan?" "It means wife."

Sinamantala na nga nila ang pinagdadaanan ko noon tapos damay pa rin ako hanggang ngayon? "You love your freedom, right?" Naguguluhan man sa mga tanong niya ay tumango pa rin ako. I value my freedom so much pero kinailangan kong isuko para mailigtas ang mas maraming tao. At hindi naman ako nagsisisi sa nangyari dahil kahit papa'no, may kalayaan pa naman akong gawin ang mga bagay na gusto ko. "You love your freedom and I don't want to take what you love from you."

Isang linggo lamang sana ang balak niyang pananatili sa Japan. Ngunit nang makarating siya roon, parang ayaw na niyang umalis. Kung hindi lamang dahil malapit na ang pagbubukas ng klase, marahil ay hindi pa rin siya babalik. Napangiti si Ysa habang hawak ang telepono. “Kapag nagsimula ka nang magtrabaho,” sagot niya nang kalmado, “makakamit mo rin ang financial freedom.”

Sa huli, nahimatay nga ako, pero libre naman ang Japan. Sa totoo lang, sige, gusto ko na rin magkaroon ng passport ko para wala na akong problema. Para rin makapagpa-book na si Sorin sa Japan. Nang maranasan ko na ring makapag-travel sa ibang bansa. Kung sinabi niyang mabilis lang maglakad ng ganoon, eh ‘di sige, lakarin na nga talaga ngayon.

"Of course, I talk like an idiot. Otherwise how could you understand me?" Sa huli ay nagpakawala na lang siya ng hangin. "I can give you everything you need, even freedom. But the freedom you are asking is beyond the limitation. You are free in doing anything inside the house, free in giving orders, free in getting and using anything you want. Pero ang lumabas at pumunta sa kung saan, hindi ko mapahihintulutan."
