Novel & Cerita Mengatakan Sesuatu Saya Tidak Mendengarnya

I respond, my voice calm as I throw my hands in the air. “Even if you are at a distance and you speak, I can hear you as long as I put my mind to it,” he tells me. Oh! “Is it about what I said to Sarah? I didn’t say anything wrong.” I hate to sound like this but—I really do not see anything wrong with what I said.

I almost can’t hear him as he mumbles, “I… don’t want you… with anyone else.” I decide to play ignorant to what he just said and ask, “I’m sorry. I didn’t quite hear you. Say that again?” The broad grin on my face probably gives me away, but it doesn’t matter how blatantly obvious it is that I did, in fact, hear him.

I almost can’t hear her as she mumbles, “I… don’t want you… with anyone else.” I decide to play ignorant to what she just said and ask, “I’m sorry. I didn’t quite hear you. Say that again?” The broad grin on my face probably gives me away, but it doesn’t matter how blatantly obvious it is that I did, in fact, hear her.

He's silent and looks shocked. "T-tell me, what the hell happened?" You can tell that there's a hint of anger in his voice. He didn't know anything but he's acting like he does, this man. I stayed calm and told him everything. I breathe. "Let's break up." I looked at him with a smile. I thought I misheard what he just said so I asked again. There's no way he'll say things like that. He looked at me and stayed silent as if he's saying ' don't make me repeat myself, I know you heard me '. I looked away. Yes, I heard you, but I don't want to.

Sagot naman ng isa. Nangunot ang noo ko sa mga narinig, lalo na sa mga huling sinabi nila. Akala ata nila hindi ko sila naririnig dahil nakatalikod sila sa akin at nakapabilog na nakaharap sa entrance at exit ng auditorium.

Of course, I could not actually say it out loud. "You've misunderstood. I didn't mean it like that."

I said, though no one was there to hear it. Because next time, I won't correct it quietly.

“If you don’t want this, say no.” “I, um..”

“You need to get your priorities straight.” What was she even talking about? “If you had listened to me when I asked you to always move with security, you wouldn’t have been in that situation,” I said, making my way to my bed. She walked closer to me. “It doesn’t matter, that isn’t the point.” She replied, her tone defensive. “It’s just weird that you would ignore me just because you were with her.” I let out a deep sigh. Was she intentionally acting like she didn’t hear what I had been trying to say? Or was it actually difficult for her to understand me?

I hear a voice mutter weakly before I realize I'm the one who spoke. Again.
