Frowned Novels & Stories

I'd be a fooled to myself for not to cry in front of him. Pumatak ang luha ko, kasabay ng sunud-sunod na ugong ng barkong dumaong.. Hindi ito nagsalita, his eyes are fixed, but looking at something yard beyond my head. I watched as the white in his eyes, turned a pure black, brows furrowed in frown. His mouthed form in a rigid grimace.

“Okay, then, let's get down to business.” “That’s more like it!” He leaned towards Mr. Cloud and act like he's all interested. But the truth is that he couldn't help but stare at sa maganda nitong mukha. His eyes subconsciously wandered sa kabuuan ng mukha nitong namumula. ‘F*ck!’ Froso cussed inwardly nang maramdamang nagkakaroon ng positibong reaksyon katawan niya. “Like what you are seeing?” Ngumise ito nang puno ng malisya.

I shouted. Sa isang iglap, tila naputol ang pasensya niya. "I am! I am fucking worried!" he shouted back. Nagmura siya ng mahina ngunit malutong. Natigilan ako at hindi nakaimik. Tinanggal niya ang kamay sa pinto at pinasadahan niya ng kamay ang kaniyang basang buhok. He looks frustrated, angry and worried. I don't even know how those three emotions fits in his expression.

Napabuga ng hangin si Aurora sa malamig na sagot ni Franco sa kanya. "Ay grabe siya, ganun lang iyon? Wala kang sasabihin man lang?" Tiningnan lang siya ni Franco na may poker face na mukha. Walang emosyon, seryoso ang mga mata at mahigpit na magkalapat ang mga labi. Para itong pinaglihi sa ampalaya sobrang bitter ang expression ng mukha.

Palibhasa'y nakatalikod si Morris dito kaya hindi nito nakita kung paanong ang malungkot na tinig nito ay salungat sa ekspresyon ng mukha nito. Tanya's expression seems a bit off. Her lips curved upward almost imperceptibly, a tiny twitch that only someone paying close attention would catch. Tanya's hands were clasped together in a show of sympathy, but her fingers were tapping an excited rhythm against her palm. The corners of her eyes crinkled, like she was fighting to contain a grin. She looked like she's happy about the situation. Hindi ito malungkot gaya ng mga sinasabi nito, mas mukhang nagdidiwang ito na nasirang relasyon ng matalik nitong kaibigan at si Morris.

Really? Ano kayang pakiramdam no’n? "Then, let’s watch tomorrow!" giit ko. Pinalis ako luha at kunot ang noong lumingon sa kaniya. His eyebrows shot up because of what I said. The expression from his eyes changed from serious to playful. He pursed his lips, trying to stifle his smile but he failed. He laughed which made me crossed my brows. "What’s funny?" naiinis kong tanong. Ewan ko ba pero naiinis ako sa ekspresyong ipinapakita niya.

I know, she's pouting while saying those words. I can't say no to her now. Nakaraan kasi ay tumanggi ako sa kaniya. I don't want to spoil her too much. Mas lumapad naman ang ngiti ko. Hindi ko namalayan na nasa tapat na pala ako sa table namin. Biglang naagaw ng pansin ko ang isang pamilyar na mukha ng lalaki. He's frowning while looking at me. Napalunok naman ako bago mabilis na umiwas ng tingin.

"That man..." Hindi ko alam pero parang may gusto siyang sabihin pero hindi niya magawang magsabi. Pabalik balik lang ang lakad niya habang paminsan minsan ay itinuturo ang librong hawak ko at sasabihin ng paulit ulit ang salitang iyon. He looks frustrated, he looks dissapointed. Halo halo ang naging expression ng mukha niya. I didn't utter a word. Hinihintay kong humupa ang kung ano mang kaguluhan na lumulukob sa kanya.

I didn't hear it clearly that's why my eyebrows furrowed. "Damn, girl." Bulong niya. He stifle a smile before he shook his head once again, he even bit his lower lip bagi muling tumingin sa akin, natatawa na. "Paano naging masama ang ugali ko? I didn't do anything," he stated before he leaned against the wall, kitang kita ko ang naghihimutok niyang muscle nang ipagkrus niya ang braso niya sa kanyang dibdib.

He suddenly turned around with a sour look on his face. "Stop it Mira. It's annoying." Halata nga sa itsura niya na na iinis na siya pero ngiti lang ang isinagot ko sa kanya. "Masungit ka talaga noh? Sabagay halata naman sa face mo kasi palagi kang seryoso, pero it's okay gwapo ka parin." He sighed and massaged his temple. Napangiti ako ng malapad. Kahit mukhang frustrated siya ang gwapo parin.
