Glimpses Novels & Stories

Nagmamadaling makasakay para makapagpahinga agad o hindi kaya'y makapasok nang maaga sa trabaho. Kung ang gabi ay oras ng kapahingahan, para sa ilan, ito ay oras ng pag-iisip. Ang tahimik na laban na pinipilit mong mapagtagumpayan, sa loob ng ulo mo lang pala naninirahan. Habang kumakain, panay ang tingin ko sa bukas-sarang glass door. I was kinda distracted, so... and there—I saw a familiar face. Nabulunan ako sa kinakain ko dahil sa nakita.

Pinahiran niya agad ang dugo at binigyan ako ng napakasamang tingin. I was not afraid by his stare for little did I know, I am much capable of sharing death glares but I am afraid by how his face works. For if I were to detailed his face, what's scary in it is that scar located on the side of his lips. It's not really visible but that makes him looked like rapist, joker I presume. Though he's also handsome but I just don't like by how the way he smirked. It brings thrill out of me really.

Ang malamig nitong mga mata. Ang seryoso nitong ekspresyon habang nakatingin sa akin. Bahagyang kumunot ang noo ko. Hindi ko alam kung bakit siya agad ang naisip ko. Pero sa lahat ng taong nakita ko sa presinto kanina… Siya lang ang hindi ko mabasa nang buo. THIRD PERSON:

Nakahiga na siya at lahat sa higaan, mariing nakapikit na ang mga mata pero ang buong diwa ay hinahatak pa rin ng mga kaluskos at kaganapan sa labas. “Naubos na ang ink sa pinter. Hindi na masyadong nakikita ang kulay.” Ang lambing lang ng boses ni Mia. “Ang mabuti pa, bukas na lang natin tatapusin. Ahead of schedule naman tayo.” Boses ni Luke. Si Luke pala ang malambing na kausap nito. “Buti pa nga at mukhang mahuhulog na itong eyeballs ko.” Rinig pa niya ang matunog na paghikab nito. “Can I come with you, Luke?”

Saglit siyang nagpaalam sa kausap bago naglakad papalapit sa dalawang kababaihan. Napalingon si Heather kay Giselle nang hawakan nito ang kaniyang braso. “You know him?” tanong ni Giselle habang nanlalaki ang mga mata. Heather nodded proudly. Sa reaksiyon ni Giselle, mukhang kilala si Primo sa Limelight. That’s why she suddenly felt proud. Halata rin ang paghanga ni Giselle rito. It suddenly boosted her confidence for an unknown reason. “We're friends.” Umawang ang labi nito habang sinusundan ng tingin si Primo na huminto sa tapat ni Heather.

He looks so pained when Stephen Speaks song played. I glanced at him and noticed that his jaw is clenching. His eyes were bloodshot and he kept on blinking. Titingala siya atsaka iiling. Oh and I've got all that I need Right here in the passenger seat Oh and I can't keep my eyes on the road Knowing that she's inches from me

Mabuti na lang rin at umabot pa ako rito sa sasakyan nang hindi bumibigay ang mga paa ko. I don't want him to see me as broken hearted as I am inside. My hands are trembling and I can hardly open my eyes. They are heavy and full of tears. As soon as I open my eyes, my gaze landed to the rear view mirror. My eyes landed to him.

Miss My eyes accidentally flew to the reflection of my face on the glass window of the classroom. My mouth then faintly opened in awe. It may be not as clear as what one normally see on usual mirrors but for my eyes, everything was nearly just as vivid. Tumagal ang tingin ko roon habang inoobserbahan ang nakikita. My dilligence in taking medicine seems to be showing off some progress by now. The constant cleansing and application of skin care products look like they are starting to pay off little by little too.

Ito nalang ang gagawin ko para kung sakaling hindi ko maintindihan, pwede kong balik-balikan mamaya para basahin at intindihin. I didn't notice that I was biting the tip of my pencil while listening to him. I was distracted by his simple gestures, pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang kanyang mukha. His defined thick eyebrows that's always furrowing when he's being grumpy and mad, his long lashes, his hallow cheeks. His color hazel deepset eyes, that when you look at it, your heart will automatically pound.

Pagkalibing sa kanya sa lupa, hulog agad siya sa apoy. I get my sunglasses and wear it. Pati iyong malaki kong sombrero tutal summer naman. Bagay naman ang outfit ko. Pumasok ako sa firm nila at pinagmasdan bawat taong dumadaan. Pasimple kong ginagala ang paningin ko. Nakita ko si Atty. Ibasco na pumasok sa elevator. Susunod sana ako kaso baka mamukhaan niya ako. Hindi pa ako masyadong batikan sa character ko as Adira. Baka malaglag ako.
