Freedom Novels & Stories

“I want my children and my family to be safe. Gusto kong mabuhay nang walang iniisip na threat sa aming kaligtasan. Na magagawa naming lahat ng naisin naming nang walang inaalalang sakuna na maaring mangyari anumang oras. I have been craving for that kind of freedom since then. I continued while still leaning on him. “But it seems like my dream is not happening. I was destined to be part of this cruel world and I-I can’t d-do anything to stop it.” I sighed heavily and my heart started to sadden. Clinton looks at me. He licked his lower lip and scrutinized my face. “I will give you that freedom, Anjelouv. You just promised me th

ako naman ang di sumagot ngunit handa naman siyang pakingan. “Choice is just like taking responsibility. Happiness is a choice. Inner Peace is a choice. Success is a choice. A choice, that's to make, a responsibility if you wanted to. You need to be okay with being uncomfortable because it's going to help you grow. Reason why, your by my side is also a choice of mine. To keep and love you forever.”Napatango na lang ako. Nakapikit parin ako ngayon. Sabagay may punto din si Sean. Kung lahat may rason kung bakit nangyayari ang isang bagay, andyan naman yang choice na yan para maging privilege natin.

tanong niya rito habang nakatingin sa binata nang nagtataka. Bahagyang tumikhim ang binata bago sumagot. “Nothing. I just want to celebrate your freedom…” Natawa siya. “Hindi pa nga kami divorce. But it’s funny, right? Pangalan ko Liberty pero napakatagal kong nawalan ng kalayaan sa lahat ng bagay. But it’s fulfilling you know? Masaya ako na nagagawa ko na ngayon ang gusto ko nang hindi iniisip ang ibang tao.”

"How do you say so?" "Being free is being a human. That's who we are. We are free because we are humans. We have the freedom to do anything wether it is a good or a bad decision. We also have the freedom to reflect to our decisions. Sana maisip mong mali ang ikulong ako dito" "Hindi naman kita kinukulong. Malaya ka naman nakakalabas ng kuwarto mo." "You have taken me against my will. You brought me here against my will. You keep me here against my will. You did everything you did to me against my will!"

mahina kong sagot, halos pabulong. He nodded, satisfied. “Good. Lunch will be served here. After that, we have business to attend to.” Napakunot ang noo ko—anong business? Ngunit hindi ko na naitanong. He sat down on the sofa, crossing his legs, and regarded me. “Come here,” he ordered. “Sit.” Lumapit ako, naupo sa tabi niya, pilit pinapakalma ang sarili. He looked at me, his gaze unreadable. “You need to understand the difference between freedom and privilege. Here, you have privileges because I allow it. You are not free. Don’t ever mistake one for the other.”

Ang sarap siguro ng pakiramdam ng may freedom. Yung tipong hindi ka mababahala kung anumang isipin ng iba dahil masaya ka at duon lang nakasentro ang mundo mo sa tao o sa bagay na nagbibigay sayo ng peace of mind. How I wish ganun din kami ni Dens. Nakakapagod din pala ang magtago. Akala ko noon sapat na sakin na mahal niya ako.. na andiyan siya for me... na magkasama kami... na ako lang... Hindi pala ganun kasimple ang buhay.

payo pa nito patuloy na hinagod ang likod niya habang nakatingin naman siya sa kawalan. "Kung natuloy ang kasal pero alam mo namang ayaw ka kasama, gagawin niya lang ang tumakas ng paulit-ulit kaya hindi maiiwasang mangyari na mapunta siya ulit sa mas masasamang tao, kaya tama lang din anak, you just made a right decision." Bumitaw ito sa kanya at hinawakan ang magkabilang pisngi niya. "Always remember that setting someone free isn't kind of torture it's a freewill kung anong makakabuti."

Hindi niya maipagpapalit ang tinatama niyang kalayaan at kasiyahan sa anupaman. For her this what she calls serenity and tranquility.Hindi niya hahayaang may taong makakasira ng kanyang payapang mundo.Not her daddy, nor even her groom to be or even that fucking playboy but handsome guy in the cottage can prevent her from unleashing and unveiling her freedom.

You are not letting a person be free who to love and spend his life with. Para sa akin ay nagmumukhang hawak ng iba ang buhay ko and it makes me feel like a puppet, some sort of a remote controlled robot. And if that idea of mine is true, I swear to God na tututol ako kahit pa gaano ko kamahal ang mga magulang ko. Kalayaan ko ang piliin ang mamahalin and no one can control or dictate me.

Hindi ko rin naman masisisi kung bakit ganoon ang tingin sa akin ng tao. Nabuhay ako ng marangya na pinapangarap ng iba. Nakakain ko lahat ng gusto ko, 'di tulad ng iba na pinagkakasya kung ano lang ang nakahain sa mesa. Nabibili ko lahat ng gusto ko ng walang kahirap hirap, 'di tulad ng iba na kailangan pag-ipunan at paghirapan muna bago nila makuha ang gusto nila. Yes, I have a wealthy lifestyle that every normal person wanted to have. But I only need one. Freedom. "What does it taste like?" I unconsciously asked Lenny. "What does freedom taste like?" Muli kong tanong sa kaniya. Dahil matagal ko ng pinapangarap na maranasan ma
