Novel & Cerita Lifeless Eyes

Book one of the Three Stages of Love series. "In three stages of love, it is important to go through all of them for us to call it 'true love. But what if we are stuck on one stage forever?" Lust at First Sight Danielle “Elle” is everything people think they know, happy-go-lucky, confident, and unapologetically a player. For her, love is just a game she knows how to win. But behind the smiles and flirtatious charm is a girl who once loved deeply… and lost painfully. After being taken for granted too many times, Elle promised herself one thing, to never fall first, never fall hard. Luxipher, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. An academic achiever, disciplined, organiz

"Hmm. Titingnan ko." Ngumiti lang naman si Clarissa at umayos na ulit ng upo. Ako naman ay tumingin na lang sa labas ng bintana. Kahit hindi ko nakikita ang sarili kong mga mata ay alam kong lumungkot iyon habang pinapanood ang liwanag ng ilaw na nagmumula sa mga 24/7 store at sa mga bahay na nadadaanan.Nagsisimula na ring bumigat ang dibdib ko dahil ilang minuto na lang ay babalik na ako sa totoong buhay. Parang ayaw ko na lang bumalik do'n pero wala naman akong magagawa.

At doon, doon nagtama ang kanyang mga mata sa madilim at malalim na tingin ni Elijah. Isang tingin na parang kayang lunukin ang lahat ng ingay, lahat ng sakit, lahat ng kaguluhan. Sa mismong sandaling makita niya ito, parang nabura ang lahat sa kanyang isipan. Walang boses. Walang galit. Walang takot. Tanging siya lang. Ang mga luhang matagal nang nagpipigil sa kanyang mga mata ay biglang pumatak. Sunod-sunod, parang mga perlas na napigtas ang sinulid.

We can't predict how long we're going to live. "So this is where you usually stay?" Isang malalim na baritonong tono sumalubong sa tunog ng kuliling. I lazily opened my eyes not wanting to make an eye contact. Hindi ko ata kakayanin ang mabangis niyang itsura. I also can't see him in the eye now that I have cleared my mind with regards to my feelings to him. Ramdam ko ang kaniyang mainit na katawan ng maupo siya sa tabi ko.

Pang-uusisa ko pa at sinulyapan siya nang makita sa gilid ng mga mata na tahimik lang siyang nakatitig sa akin. There were pain, hatred and even heartache plastered on his green charming eyes. The emotions in his eyes that I always see whenever he looks at me disappeared and replaced by complete dullness. It's like he's been carrying a bucket of tears, pile of emotions and a back-to-back paper of thoughts. Parang ako ang nasasaktan sa pinapasan niya. Parang ang aliwalas kasing tignan ng mga mata niya pero ngayon isa lang ang masasabi ko.

Lahat ng nakikita ko ay sadyang nagbigay sa akin ng hudyat na umatras but his stare penetrate me. Parang ang malamig nitong titig ay naghahatid ng kakaibang pakiramdam pero isa lang ang alam ko his eyes are not numb or clueless. Ngayon his eyes can see me, but I can see nothing but emptiness, kitang-kita ako nito but it doesn't shine with emotions and that makes me feel an aching feeling within my heart.

With that, I was able to avoid his scratches like he intended. I could no longer understand what madness was happening to us right now. What I only knew was that I won't let any person, especially this man in front of me, take my life away. Ugh, wait - scratch that! Is he even considered a man? I mean look at his eyes! No human being could ever have a blank eye! Several loud explosions erupted again. The powerful force of the shockwave reverberated through the establishment, cracking up the mirrors into spider-web patterns. The already distorted images of the room became even more distorted in the shattered glass.

Adam asked her. Bigla rin siyang nanlamig nang maramdaman niya ang makalyo at mainit na palad ni Adam na humawak sa kanyang baba. Maingat nitong itinaas ang kanyang baba at nagtama ang kanilang mga mata ng lalaki. He has a beautiful set of eyes, they're emotionless, but he seems to see the deep sadness in those eyes. She tried not to look at it because some illusion was forming in her mind as she stared into Adam's eyes.

Nag-salin ito ulit at tumango ako ng marahan. "I have no choice, I am obligated to live in this kind of life." Nakatingin ko na sagot sa kanya, I don't know kung anong nakikita n'ya sa mga mata ko, but when I shift my gaze at the mirror, my eyes look dead. Parang wala na buhay ang mga mata ko, lalo na kapag natingin ako sa tao, even I, hindi na ako nagulat na ganito na ang mga mata ko.

Tiningnan niya ako sa aking mga mata at mababakas dito ang pagod, kalungkutan at galit. “Isang sumpa ang pamumuhay ng mahigit sa isang milenyo. Wala kang karapatang magmahal ng isang mortal. Maaaring samahan ka nila sa buong buhay nila ngunit sa huli ay iiwan ka rin nila. Paulit-ulit mo silang panonooring mabuhay ngunit paulit-ulit mo rin silang panonooring mamatay. Isang sumpa ang pagiging immortal,” ang sambit ni Keres. Natahimik ako sa kanya’ng sinabi. Ngunit kamatayan nga ba ang sagot? Napatingin ako sa aking mga kamay. Wala akong karapatang kunin ang buhay niya. Sino ba ako para gawin iyon?
