Nodded Mga Nobela at Kwento

I could tolerate that temperature nang hindi pa rin ako nagco-collapse, but it was a different case for Nadz. “Yes, Ma’am. Magpapaalam po sana ako kung pwede akong mag-undertime kahit ngayon lang?” namumutlang sabi niya with her chest moving up and down. Nadine was still beautiful, but her face right now was more of a corpse na akala mong nawalan na ng dugo sa buong katawan.

"Okay ba?" Nag-isip sandali si Nathan, sinuri ang buong hitsura ng kanyang ama mula ulo hanggang paa, at tumango siya, isang seryosong nod. "Okay," sagot niya, na tila binibigyan nito ng pansin ang bawat detalye, ngunit may kaunting hindi matukoy na emosyong nararamdaman sa kabila ng tila simpleng pag-apruba.

A thank you for the years he had carried her and Kieran when she had nothing else. Nathan inclined his head slightly, returning her smile with quiet grace. His eyes shimmered, but he remained steady. Knox, too, noticed Nathan. Their gazes met briefly across the distance. Knox gave a single, firm nod—a silent promise na parang sinasabing “Huwag kang mag-alala. Aalagaan ko sila.” And Nathan nodded back, almost imperceptibly. Then his gaze lowered, stepping back into the shadows, content to remain unseen.

At sa oras na iyon, may tingin si Adrian na hindi ako inaasahan: not approval, but curiosity. Ikawalo, gabi ng small victory. May intimate dinner ang staff para pasalamatan ang donors. Ako ang in-appoint to prepare a short presentation. Nerve-wracking, pero nagawa ko. Nag-ayos ako ng slides, nag-practice ng pitch, at noong gabi, nang tumayo ako na magsalita, nakita kong tinitingnan ako ng mga tao na dati nagduda. Tubong-tubo ang tibok ng puso ko. Pero matapos ang presentation, may ilan na lumapit at nagtanong pa ng detalye para umabot sa signature. Nang pauwi na kami, napansin ko si Adrian sa gilid, hindi pushing any attention, pero may small nod niya. That nod felt like permission to breath

I replied. Nilapitan ko ulit ang dalawa para gisingin. Lio woke up but his eyes are almost closing. "Uwi na tayo?" He asked. "Oo. Uwi na tayo kaya tumayo ka na diyan," dahan-dahan kong sabi sa kanya. He nodded his head like a kid saka tinaas ang dalawang kamay na para bang nagpapatulong tumayo. I was about to help him pero inunahan na ako ni Sir Troy.

Bahagya akong nautal sa huling salita dahil parang sumama ang timpla ng mukha nito. I bit my lower lip and watch him nod slowly. Nakaramdam ako ng pagsisisi sa mga salitang lumalabas sa aking bibig. "Yeah," he mumbled. "You're right."

Sa totoo lang, ang tanging ginagawa ko ay maghintay. Lumipas ang isang minuto. Dalawa. Tatlo. Pawis na ang palad ko. Hindi ko pinupunasan. Ayokong gumalaw nang kakaiba. Biglang may lumitaw sa monitor. PRIMARY NODE: OFFLINE. Hindi ko alam kung fake ba ito o synchronized real-time feedback. Pero sa earpiece: “Primary down.” Huminga ako nang bahagya. SECONDARY NODE: OFFLINE.

utos ni Ryu, seryoso. Hiro nodded. This time, he tapped a different sequence, parang may inaayos pa sa frequency. Ilang segundo ulit kaming naghintay. Tahimik. Walang nagsasalita. "No response, still," Hiro confirmed. Napalunok ako. Hindi pwede 'to.

Across the crowded room, through the sea of tuxedos and gowns, their eyes met. Anne’s expression frozen for a split second. Her gray eyes swept down to take in Lauren’s green dress, lingering on the exposed collarbones before meeting Lauren's gaze again. The intense, unreadable stare lasted for what felt like an eternity, completely erasing the noise of the ballroom around them. Then, Anne gave a tiny, almost imperceptible nod of her head before turning back to the donor beside her. Lauren’s heart hammered furiously against her ribs. She excused herself from the alumnus and walked toward the open terrace at the side of the ballroom, needing fresh air.
