Novel & Cerita Lifeless Eyes

those eyes. His eyes were a stormy kind of gray — like wet pavement after it rains, dark and hard to read. If you looked at them long enough, you'd see stories hiding in the silence. Not just sadness, but guilt. A kind of longing. Depth. 'Yun din ang mga matang dati'y nagbibigay ng katahimikan sa'kin sa tuwing parang ang ingay-ingay ng mundo. Hindi pa rin nagbago. Hanggang ngayon, para ka parin niyang nakikita kahit wala siyang sabihin. Speaking of lips—God. I hated that I noticed.

—sa mahinang ilaw ng bar ay nakita niya ang munting panginginig ng labi nito— “no one’s home. I’ll be alone. Baka . . . lalo akong mapraning at maiyak.” Hindi niya maialis ang mga mata rito. Telling Aly to find herself a companion for the night would be too rude. She’s crying because of her cheating boyfriend. Of course, she wouldn’t be up to a one-night stand.

But it will lessen the weight in my chest.”

He asked again, his voice carrying a forceful edge that demanded an answer. Her eyes were fixed on him, filled with fear and despair. Luke suddenly felt a sense of guilt at the sight of this woman, he momentarily questioned his actions. He didn't need to raise his voice, but the feeling of betrayal burned within him. As he stared back at her, he suddenly noticed something different about her eyes—something he hadn't seen before. They weren't the eyes of Ruby. Why hadn't he noticed that in ? It was the past? It was a realization that struck him with unexpected clarity, adding another layer of confusion to an already chaotic moment.

"Lower your gun, Kuya North." Nakita kong mariin itong pumikit, matagal, at sa pagdilat nya ang walang buhay niyang mga mata ang bumungad sa amin, walang emosyon. Nakita ko ang bahagyang pagkunot ng noo nya, pagkatapos nilibot nito ang tingin sa paligid. Saka pa ito tila natauhan.

Dark. Silent. Parang biglang nawala lahat ng ingay ng mundo. When Cassandra opened her eyes, wala na ang halimaw, wala na ang apoy, wala na rin ang yumanig na lupa. Ang bumungad lang sa kanya ay isang endless na kalawakan na kulay abo, parang limbo na walang hangganan. Wala siyang maramdamang hangin, wala ring amoy ng usok o abo. Para siyang nakalutang sa isang lugar na hindi kabilang sa buhay, pero hindi rin kabilang sa death.

Nanghihina at tila unti unting naubos ang kanyang Lakas at tila nawawalan na ng pag-asang mabuhay, bumigat ang talokap ng kanyang mga mata at bigla na lamang nagdilim ang kanyang paningin. Hindi niya alam kung ilang oras na siyang nakatulog sa pag-aakalang sinimulan na nila ang kakila-kilabot na plano sa kanya, a Burst tears drop from her eyes ayaw na niya'ng magmulat ng mata. Ayaw niya'ng masaksihan Kong paano siya pagsamantalahan sa mga tauhan ni Vladimir gusto na lang niya'ng matulog habang buhay. Pigil ang kanyang hininga ng makarinig siya ng kalabog at tila subrang tahimik ng lugar. Agad dumilat ang kanyang mata ng maramdaman ang familiar na Labi na nagpagising sa kanya ng tuluyan.

I am living with his legacies and I would forever treasure that. In him, I saw eyes. Eyes of truth and justice. Eyes that saw mirrors of reality. Eye that saw myself. Eye that saw everyone. Eye that saw you. "Do you think it's really over now, Leighton?" Bigla akong napatingin kay tita Sahara matapos niya iyong sabihin sa akin. Napakunot ang noo ko. "W-What do you mean?" She heaved a sigh. "You think we really cut the roots? Do you think we really hit the eye?" she continued, looking at me in the eyes.

Pero noong maiangat niya ang mukha ni Lucas at matagpuan ang walang buhay na mga mata nito, hindi niya naiwasang mamutla. Selene’s breathe hitched when she found that even though Lucas was still technically alive and well, his eyes reflected nothing but the void. It looked empty and déad. Then, she stilled when she noticed the black aura that surrounds him. When has it been here? Her mouth fell agape when she realized that this has something to do with the way how Lucas looked right now. “Lu... Lucas!” Sa pagkakataong ito ay mas natataranta na siyang tinawag ang pangalan nito. She expected that something like this would happen but it still sparked something within her.

“May Hell Fish doon!” Matalas ang mga mata ni Alex, kaya napansin niya ang malaking Hell Fish sa kanang bahagi ng kwartong batong ito. Hindi ito kumikibo, tila napadpad sa lupa habang ang ibabang bahagi nito ay nakalubog sa tubig. “Buhay pa!” Gamit ang kanyang Third Eye, napagtanto ni Alex na may mahinang puwersa pa rin ng buhay sa loob ng katawan nito.

Palaasar! I went through my morning routine as usual and took a selfie in front of the mirror, admiring my look. My reflection showed off my green eyes, a trait I inherited from my father. Unlike my sisters, who share our mother's chestnut brown eyes, my green eyes stand out prominently. My eyebrows are impeccably groomed, framing my face perfectly. My eyelashes are long, thick, and naturally curled, adding to the striking look of my eyes.
