Pretend In Tagalog 소설 & 이야기

Singhal ko Nandoon kasi sya nakapwesto sa likuran ng pinto, kaya pag pasok ko, hindi ko talaga sya nakita o makikita "Silly" tawang sabi nya Sumeryoso ang mukha nya kaya kibahan ako, "Usap na tayo" Ayan nga ba sinasabi ko eh "Wait, ibababa ko lang ito sa kwarto. Mag papalit na rin muna ako" paalam ko at nag mamadaling umakyat

My girl could not have been more wrong. "All of your things are still there waiting for you. Just know this..." I spoke directly just a few inches from her face, boring into her soulful eyes. "I have no intentions of letting you go." I swallowed hard. "If you come with me you're signing on for all of me, Brynne. I don't know any other way to be with you. It's all in for me. And I want it to be all in for you too." "All in?" She brought her palm to my cheek and held it there, her questioning look so genuine. I turned my lips to press them into the palm of her hand as she held my face. "A poker term. Means to bet everything you have on the cards you're holding. You're what I'm holding."

The invitation arrives in an envelope thick enough to pay rent. Gilded letters spell out: The Harrington Foundation Charity Gala. I stare at it on the kitchen table while Maya twirls the envelope like it’s a wand. “A gala,” she says reverently. “That’s code for free champagne and judgmental rich people.” “It’s code for humiliation,” I mutter. “I don’t belong in rooms like that.” “Correction,” Maya says, pointing with the envelope. “You pretend to belong. That’s the deal, right? Fake it till you make it.”

The drive takes longer than I thought but when we arrive I smile at what I see. “Here we are lass, you have a good time”, the driver says and I smile politely at him and take my luggage from the boot of the car. I look at the little house I have rented with a fake name and grab the key that is locked near the door. I put the code and it opens. I grab the key and get inside.

Baka isa na akong kamatis, na pwedeng ibenta sa palengke. Ang tanong nga lang, kung may bibili ba? "S-Sorry, pangit ba pagkakasabi ko? Corny ba?" Tila nataranta naman niyang sabi, kulang na lang mapatayo siya sa kanyang pwesto. Umiling ako. "H-Hindi, hindi! Ayos lang, maganda nga!" Pagpapalakas ko ng loob niya. Ayaw ko pa naman ng idea na panghinaan siya ng loob.

Sapo ang dibdib na singit ko. “Exactly. Chase him. Ask him…Stake your claim. Sa Tagalog, lagyan mo ng label. Love's a bitch and our world is cruel. You're not some hoe na pwede niyang kaladkarin at landiin when it deem fit to him," dugtong pa nito bago humigop ng kape sa basong hawak. “Value is what separates a true woman to the rest. Don’t be blindsided by your attraction to him, Gen. If you don’t show him how and on what way you want to be handled or treated, sa kangkungan natin pupulutin ang puso mo.”

Kahit pa parang weird, hindi niya mapigilang sumang-ayon sa lalaki kaya hindi na siya nakaimik pa. Tinapik ni Lucas ang balikat niya. "The 'con' from 'con man' means confidence. Sa trabahong 'to, iyon ang puhunan natin. Fake it 'til you make it, ika nga. Lying is the name of the game, and confidence is power." Napangisi si Christelle sa paalala ng lalaki. "Naiintindihan ko. It really makes sense right now..."

Tumingin ako ng diretso sa kanya. Parang unti-unti akong nahipnotismo nito at muntik na akong mawala sa aking sarili ng makita kong papalapit na ng papalapit ang labi ko sa kaniya. Agad naman akong tumayo at tumawa para hindi mahalata ang nakakailang na nararamdaman ko.

"You were thinking about saying something." "I think about a lot of things. I don't say most of them." "That is genuinely difficult to believe." Something shifted in his expression, a movement that wasn't quite a smile but was adjacent to one, something drier than his usual performances. "You think I say everything I think?" "I think you say everything that serves a purpose." "And you think everything serves a purpose." "Doesn't it?"

"Nag bago pala ang isip mo bakit parang ngayon atat kang maging girlfriend mo ako." "Pretend like nothing happened." Panggagaya ko sa tono ng pananalita niya. "Yes, Infront of my brother and to your ate, but i think malalaman din naman nila." "Ayoko nga, ano ka" "Handsome" "Pwede bang bitawan mo na ako dahil masakit na ang braso ko."
