Pieces Of Her Novels & Stories

I can't bear to lose her again after all those years of waiting. Although they did not tell me the whole details about that collapsed part, parang may ideya na ako. Velvet is an enchantress. Probably the last one after that day happened. So she must've been going through a process where her ancient is awakening her powers. Or something from her past is waking her up like showing her visions from the past even though it's blurry enough to see.

Nagtalsikan ang mga perlas ng suot niyang kwintas. For a moment, everyone was shocked to see her on the floor. Nalukot ang mukha ni Leandra sa sakit ng pagkatumba at pagtama niya sa malamig na sahig. Bahagya siyang umangat at nakita niya ang mga perlas na nagkalat sa sahig. Napatingin din siya sa mga naroon. Her tears burst out and she cried loudly when she realized everyone's eyes were on her.

Batid niyang nahihiya nanaman ito sa suot dahil hindi ito matigil sa kakatakip ng kamay sa dibdib at tiyan. "Kung alam ko lang na sa akin pala iyong binibili mo kanina, pinili ko na lang iyong one piece!" kusot labing sabi ni Celina. "Well, hindi ka kasi sumasagot kanina, so ako na ang pumili. Anyway, it looks good on you as I thought!" taas noong ngiti ni Lucy habang sinisipat ang kaibigan.

She stared at the hanky and saw the name embroidered on it. Ryo… She frowned. Bumilis ang tibok ng kanyang dibdib at nararamdaman niya na naman ang pagsakit ng kanyang ulo. And suddenly, fragments of scenes came flashing inside her mind, like a blurry video tape, replaying with blur faces. “Shit!”

Hindi nga sana siya papasok pero pinilit talaga siya nito pumasok sa loob pero isinara na nito ang pinto. Sandali siyang natahimik sa loob at pilit na prinoproseso ang nangyayari. Napatingin siya sa hawak na kakapiranggot na tela at napalunok. Huli niyang suot ng two piece ay ng minsang mag outing sila noong college kasama si Jess.

She really act as a princess. “I’m inviting my cousins and friends,” ani niya nang makarating kami sa kanyang silid. At may kinukuhang paper bag sa kanyang closet. “Cool,” ani ko. “Here,” saad niya sabay abot sa akin ng paper bag. “What’s this?” “Open it,” Nang buksan ko ay nakita ko ang isang two-piece na kulay red. And it’s really daring. “What’s this?”

At ngayon, ito din ang nagsend sa kanya ng screenshot ng post na iyon ni Althea. “I will not lose to that bitch! Akin lang si Hendrix! Akin!” Simula ng makita niya ang screenshot na iyon ay halos naibato na niya lahat ng gamit niya sa kwarto. Her vanity is broken, her make up and perfumes are on the floor, picture frames, at maging ang cellphone niya hindi nakaligtas at ngayon ay crack na ang screen.

she cursed, looking at the ceiling. I stood up and continued the fast-paced moving of my fingers. She was shaking her head. Her face was so confused. I know she was close. Idinikit ko ang hita niya sa pader para ibuka siya ng tuluyan at para malaya ang mga daliri kong magtrabaho sa gitna ng kanyang mga hita.

“Ang tanga ko...” She stared at her reflection in the mirror behind the bar, watching herself. She saw the same girl staring back—strong, independent, composed. But it was a lie. She wasn’t composed anymore. Hindi niya alam kung anong nangyari sa sarili niya. Every piece of her that had been whole, every part of herself that she thought she could rely on, felt like it was slipping away.

She will leaf through it. Napatingin siya sa lumang salamin niya sa mata na nasa table near the bed too. Hindi na niya sinusuot ang mga ito pero she likes seeing them. They remind her of the old days. Pero she trained herself na hindi ang mapapait na karanasan niya dati ang maaalala niya. She still has her eyeglasses para maalala na ang laki na ng ipinagbago niya lalo na physically. Hindi na siya pangit sa paningin ng marami. Nangiti siya then her phone started ringing.Mas lumapad ang ngiti niya. Tama kasi siya.Tumatawag na nga si Eric. While her eyes are on the magazine, she took the call.
