It's Not About The Money Novels & Stories

sabi niya sa akin. "Love is especial thing we can share." he added. "Love is love. Money is money. It's definitely different, right?" He asked. "Money won't make us happy." paliwanag niya. "But we need money for our survival and love sometimes lovevcan hurt us Prince." I reminded him. Muli siyang tumingin sa mga mata ko at mariin niyang hinawakan ang mga kamay ko. "I know but trust me." Sabi niya.

Hindi ko na kayang magpanggap na normal ang lahat. “Anong klaseng mundo ito, Trenton?” mahina kong tanong. Saglit siyang natahimik. Pagkatapos ay sumagot siya sa isang tono na hindi ko mabasa. “Ang mundong pinasukan mo.” Unti-unti akong napaatras. Ngayon ko lang lubos na naintindihan. Ang kasal na ito ay hindi simpleng kasunduan. Hindi ito tungkol sa pera.

Hindi ito isang simpleng transaksyon sa pinansyal; wala siyang kamalay-malay na nasangkot siya sa mapanganib na buhay ng organisadong krimen. Ngunit ang problema niya ay wala nang pera ang kanyang bank account!

Her POV Dear diary, Today i just witness some people justifying their needs. Money, everyone's living for money, people, well someone will say money can't buy happiness well that's definitely wrong for some reasons pero siguro nga may ibang mag sasabi na mabubuhay naman sila kahit walang pera they more adore those some sentimental values given by our love one's dahil pinag hirapan nila ito in their own, but's that not work with rich people unlike with others they just use their conections etc.

"Kung ganitong magtataray at magtataray ka lang din sa kaniya, bakit mo pa tinanggap ang alok niya? Don't tell me it's because of the money dahil hindi ako maniniwala?" "It's not about the money, never. At mabait lang 'yan ngayon dahil nakaharap ang pamilya. 'Pag nasa bahay kami sa Antipolo ay parang bato 'yan." Inis siyang nagpakawala ng malalim na paghinga at inisandal ang sarili sa baradilya. Ipinatong niya ang mga siko roon at inituon ang tingin kay Van na natatanaw niya mula sa kinatatayuan.

But then, hindi pa naman niya ako noon kilala at kailangan niya lang talaga ng pera. There was nothing weaker than a person’s mind, most especially in the face of money. Kapag gipit na gipit ka na, gagawin mo talaga ang lahat kahit na ang kumapit pa sa patalim. Having a father who showered me a lot of material things, hindi ko kailanman naranasan ang mawalan ng pera kung kaya’t inintindi ko na lang si Nadine.

wika ni Miguel na hindi maiwasang hindi maniwala sa kanyang nasasaksihan. “Money is the only thing that can make a person happy. If you have money, you can buy anything. Love is a fleeting emotion that will make you excited and happy in the beginning, but it will not feed or cure you later when you don't have anything to eat or when you're sick. So why end up wasting your time on love?”

seryoso niyang tanong dito. “Para sa mga mahihirap, oo. Pero para sa ’kin? Nope.” Napangisi ito. “Kita mo naman sila… ganiyan ang totoong reaksyon ng mga taong nasusuhulan. Sa panahon ngayon, they don’t care about the laws anymore. They only care about money… money… and money.” Umiling siya. “Palibhasa kaya mo silang suhulan.”

Gagawin niya ang lahat para mabawi niya ito. “Then I’ll pay what you gave her,” sabi ko, mas madiin na ngayon ang tinig ko, “I’ll double it. Just tell me how much you gave her. End the contract. Now.” Cullen finally looked at me fully. “This is not about money, Caelus.” Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ko. “Then what is it about?” Tumahimik siya. Tila nag aalalangan kung sasabihin niya o hindi. Then Cullen finally answered.

madiin niyang saad. "I know, it's just that..." "Is the money I'm giving to you every day not enough? Just tell me―you know I can give you more." "No, no. It's not like that, okay? You gave me more than everything―that's why sometimes I just don't want to accept the money because it's too much."
