Novel & Cerita Peace Not War By Patricia Lithuanian

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*

Pero hindi nakakabingi. Nakakapanatag. At doon ko naramdaman ang bigat ng kapayapaan — ‘yung hindi nakakatakot, kundi nagbibigay saysay. Kasi sa lahat ng laban naming dalawa, ito ang una naming panalong hindi kailangang ipaglaban. “Maybe peace was never the absence of war — maybe it was learning to rest in the arms of the one who once fought beside you.”

Raius uttered as he looked up the sky. And it’s true. Sometimes, we will be lead to a situation where we need to acquire peace amidst chaos. It is of our discretion if we will settle in the madness, or find our way out for peace, or simply build peace during the war. As for Aiah, Raius’ her peace during war. Aminado siyang gulong-gulo na rin siya sa paligid niya. She cannot even trust anyone, not even herself! Ngunit natututunan niyang hanapin ang daan paalis sa giyera. She once settled in the madness but now, she is choosing to get out of it.
