Peace And Quiet Mga Nobela at Kwento

Larika F.S. Sa magulong mundo, makakahanap ka ba ng kapayapaan? Sa magulong kapayapaan, makakahanap ka ba ng kapahingahan? Sa magulong kapahingahan, makakahanap ka ba ng tahanan? Cause for me, thousands of words in the dictionary, but the definition of "peace" has given me only a vague understanding. It's a word that seems so elusive. Kaya eto ako, ginagawa ang mga utos ng aking ama para lang makuha ang inaasam na gantimpala. Pero sa tingin ko, ito ay kamalasan.

Sa labas ng convenience store, huminto sila saglit sa bench. Tahimik. Komportableng tahimik. “I missed this,” sabi ni Aurelia, halos pabulong. “Mall dates? Parks?” tanong ni Xavier. “Peace,” sagot ni Aurelia, tumingin sa kanya. “This kind of quiet where I don’t have to worry about what’s next.” Tinitigan siya ni Xavier nang sandali, tapos ay marahan niyang hinaplos ang pisngi ni Aurelia. “You don’t have to worry anymore, Lia. I won’t let that happen again.”

natatawang asik ko at bahagya siyang hinampas na ikinatawa niya. “What? Wala akong ginagawang masama,” depensa niya. Tumatawa siyang pinagpag ang basa na ring buhok dahil sa pakikipaglaro sa akin. Parehong basa na ang aming mga damit at bahagya na akong nilalamig dahil sa simoy ng hangin. Unlike other islands, this island is way more peaceful and quiet than others. Kung kaya mas ramdam ang lamig at katahimikan ng paligid.

“I get that. Sometimes, it’s nice to just take a step back from everything and enjoy the quiet.” They continued walking in silence for a few minutes, but it was a comfortable kind of silence. Maya didn’t feel the need to fill every moment with words. It was peaceful. The sounds of birds chirping and the rustling of leaves in the wind made it feel like they were the only two people in the world. Ash glanced over at her, his eyes soft. “I'm glad you decided to come today,” he said quietly. Maya smiled, feeling a warmth spread through her chest. “Me too. This is... nice. Just... being here.”

The villa’s deck was lit with hanging lanterns, the warm glow reflecting off the wine glasses. “Do you ever think,” Mariel started, staring at the horizon, “that maybe this is what we were fighting for all along? Just… peace.” Billie took a sip of wine before answering. “I used to think peace meant silence. No chaos, no ghosts. Pero ngayon…” “Ngayon?” “Peace means hearing your voice first thing in the morning.” Mariel smiled, her eyes glistening in the candlelight. “That’s cheesy, even for you.”

And it ended. No one talked nor moved. We remained in our positions. I can't help but to smile as tears roll down my eyes. No crimes? Healthy nature? No wars? No discrimination and inventions? She's making me laugh. It's impossible to happen. That will never happen. Just a single step outside your estate already has thousand of dangers in different ways. Your wish will never happen, Xerene. 'PEACE' is just a word. JUST A WORD. *wheezes*

i feel peace and calm . walang nagtataasang bahay at gusali...walang traffic..at walang mabahong usok na nagmumula sa mga sasakyan...wala ring ingay....at Kung may ingay ka mang naririnig dito ay mga huni lang ng ibon at ihip ng sariwa at banayad na hangin...na mas nagpapagaan pa lalo sa pakiramdam... that's why I most love province than city..

Maybe, appreciating the greenery field. I've been living here for years and until now, hindi ako nagsasawa na magmaneho ng sobrang tagal at haba kung ganito naman ang paligid. It is just too peaceful. The green field, those trees, the tweeting birds and the silent of the surrounding.

she sighed, "Papa, hindi ako naging mabuting tao. And I think, for the first time in my life, this is the only place that made me safe and comfortable. This is the only place I seem to feel at peace." "Naiintindihan ko naman kung bakit," her father held her head and let it lean in his shoulders, "But peace will not always mean happiness anak. Paminsan-minsan, kailangan nating dumaan sa iilang pagsubok upang maging masaya. Dahil kung lahat ng bagay sa mundo ay pwedeng makamit ng hindi natin pinaghihirapan, hapiness becomes trivial. A thing that people will not appreciate even when they already have it."

Pasaway na bata, mas lalong naging hyper. Lumabas ako sa terrace, dala ang isang baso ng tubig. Mahangin, ang sarap sa pakiramdam. Nakahinga at guminhawa rin ang tainga ko dahil sa katahimikan ng gabi. Parang nasa ibang mundo na ako kumpara sa ingay kanina. Huminga ako nang malalim. "Finally... have peace and quiet," sambit ko. "Sure ka?"
