Many times I have seen people struggling to talk with strangers or in public places. This was due to anxiety and nervousness that happens unintentionally in our body. We can’t control them but have to overcome them. I came across the word “Glossophobia” in 2014 when I was working on how to overcome stage fears. I have seen my friends and myself struggling to talk with strangers or to speak in public. There are cases where I have acted speechless. This is where the idea arrived and I have created a character “Abhirath Srivastav” who cannot talk with strangers or in public places due to a phobia called “Glossophobia”. The Character Abirath Srivastav does not represent any real life personality, it is solely of my imagination. The story “ The only hope” is a love story set in the style of 1994. The story is about an orphan boy who suffers from glossophobia; he can't talk to strangers or in public places. He finds it hard to stay in an orphanage and escapes to find a better place in his life. He meets a Christian girl in an unknown village and becomes her best friend. He speaks to her, but not to any other villagers. Things are not, however, what was expected. Half of the villagers migrate to another place for work, and they take the boy with them. The boy has to leave his favourite place and his only best friend. After 12 years, however, he meets her and here how the story takes its turn.

"Kamu selingkuh." Langkah kaki Saka terhenti, lalu dia mendengar tarikan napas tercekat Renata di belakangnya, membuatnya memutar tubuh untuk menatap Renata. Renata mengepalkan kedua tangannya, menatap Saka penuh tuntutan. "Apa yang kamu lakukan dengan wanita itu di hotel? Kalian..." kedua mata Renata membendung telaga yang siap tumpah detik itu juga. "Memangnya... kenapa kalau aku selingkuh?" Saka melangkah perlahan menghampiri Renata, berdiri tegak dengan tatapan dinginnya yang menusuk. Kepalanya sedikit merunduk hingga dia bisa berbisik di telinga Renata. "bukannya dulu kamu juga selingkuhan suami orang, hm? Jadi, berhenti lah bersikap seolah-olah kamu yang paling tersakiti. Padahal... kamu dan perempuan itu nggak ada bedanya, Nata." Saka menarik wajahnya, dia tersenyum miring ketika menemukan wajah pucat Renata yang menatap kosong ke depan. "aku benar, kan?"

Letche naman oh! Kung hindi ko lang talaga kailangan ng perang pang piyansa kay Itay hinding hindi ako sasapi sa grupo ni Buknoy. At malay ko bang ang target namin ay isa pa lang bigatin na ubod ng gwapo, yaman, yabang, at saksakan ng pagkababaero bukod dun napaka-daldal niya at ang bastos pa ng bunganga. Walang iba kundi si Sebastian Cain Guevarra. Ang lalaking mas magulo pa sa buhok mo sa private part. Paano ba naman—"I'll give you two option, Miss. Pumili ka, kulong o magiging alipin ko?" seryoso ngunit nakangising tanong niya. Humakbang siya papalapit at inilapit ang mukha sa aking tenga saka bumulong. "Choose wisely cutie..." sabay kindat niya. ©CrystalineG

"Aku mungkin seorang jalang. Tapi haruskah aku mengandung anak dari para bajingan itu?" ~Lyora Dunia tidak pernah sesederhana hitam dan putih. Kebaikan dan kebejatan saling bertautan, menari di tepian batas yang rapuh. Seorang pria berbudi luhur dapat jatuh ke dalam kegelapan hanya karena satu pilihan keliru, sementara seorang pendosa besar bisa menebus dosanya dengan satu tindakan yang tak terlihat. Tidak ada manusia yang sepenuhnya menyerupai malaikat, pun tak ada yang seutuhnya menyatu dengan iblis. Kita semua hidup di dalam bayang-bayang, di antara kabut abu-abu yang membutakan. Di dunia yang kejam, di mana kekuasaan adalah hukum dan kelemahan adalah hukuman, Lyora berjalan di antara batas kehormatan dan kenistaan. Ia telah kehilangan banyak hal—harapan, harga diri, bahkan keyakinannya pada kebaikan. Namun satu pertanyaan terus menghantuinya: Apakah ia harus menanggung akibat dari kejahatan orang lain? Peringatan: Kisah ini mengandung unsur kekerasan dan seksual yang mungkin tidak cocok bagi semua pembaca. Harap membaca dengan bijak.

"Excuse me! Do you think you can walk back into my life after you've ruined me?!" I yelled, feeling the tears roll down my cheeks as I stared at him with hate brimming in my eyes. "Dela, it's not what you think. I really..." "Enough!" I swiftly interrupted, wiping tears from my cheeks with my bare hand. I adjusted the purse I was holding in the other hand. "Adele..." He tried to touch me but I stepped back from him immediately. "You broke me into many fragments, Carlo. It took a lot of efforts to fix me again. I won't have you or anyone else ruin my life in that manner, ever again!" I turned away and stepped into the waiting cab, closing the door after me and ignoring his attempt to chase me as the cab began moving. My eyes sting me and the tears continued to flow down my cheeks but I did nothing to hold it back. Who abandons his bride on the day of their wedding without any notice_not a single word and disappears without a trace for a long time, only to show up years later in another country, in another city, pleading to be forgiven, begging to be taken back?? Wouldn't I be the most stupid woman on earth if I'm to fall into his trap again? I'm definitely going to make him pay for ruining my life. I'd make him have a taste of the humiliations I faced. I'll pay him back so much till he'll wish we never met again! ~~~ Well, Adele is soon to discover, just how wrong she was and how she ended up being the reason things happened the way they did.
