Protagonista Subestimado Novels & Stories

I love teasing her, underestimating the woman she is, arguing all the ideas the she has, those I called my life because I feel like I am alive not realizing that he made me live. I underestimated her at first. I thought of her like every other girl that I play with, an easy girl, na kapag nakuha ko na ay pwede nang takasan agad. Too wrong, I made a moved that keeps me coming in her arms. The worst move I had yet the best defeat in exchanged. Natalo ako sa pag-ibig pero ang sarap pa lang magpatalo.

“He used Lira Esteban as bait to me.” “Why?” Nagkibit ito ng mga balikat. “Because he’s a kind of man who never accepts defeat. He’s competitive in all aspects. When we were comrades, he couldn’t accept the fact that I was better than him— that I was the best soldier on our batch. He thought that I was using my dad’s position to be favored by our superiors, but I am not. I came on where I am now because of hard work and not some padrino belief. But he didn’t see it that way. His judgment was clouded by his ambitions. At alam ni Brandon ang kahinian ko,” paliwanag nito.

Ang nakasimangot na kanta ni Justin. Nakangiti ang kanyang mukha pero labis na pagkainis na ang kanyang nararamdaman. Habang si Winona ay walang humpay ang pagtawa. Natatawa siya sa kanyang pinag-gagawa! But if it will make Justin heal from his trauma. She will endure it all. Justin will become his best Elite Assassin soon!

Kaya maaaring alam din nito kung na saan naglulungga si Charito. Muli niyang pinunasan ang pisngi nito, nagiging palaisipan sa kanya kung bakit kahit anong pangbu-bully ang ginagawa dito ni minsan hindi niya ito nakitang gumanti. Lagi niya itong sinusubaybayan, alam niya kung paano ito itrato ng mga classmate nito at kung ano anong prank ang natatanggap nito mula sa iba. Nagmistula itong easy prey, isang willing victim. Hindi mo ito maririnig na magreklamo o lumaban kahit minsan. Taliwas sa character ng ina nito. She was so submissive to the point na kahit nasasaktan na ito ay hinahayaan lang nito. Hindi niya alam kung masokista ba ito o martyr.

Namumula ang isa nitong pisngi sa lakas ng sampal niya. “Sh!t! That’s quite strong.” Mas lalo siyang napikon nang hinaplos nito ang nasaktang pisngi bago humagod ang tingin nito sa kanya, mula ulo hanggang paa. “Don't kid yourself, Sweetheart. Sebastian has someone like Lolita Asagra waiting in the wings, and she'd do whatever it takes to get to him. Even if that means blowing up a damn yacht."

Endrinal. “Ms. Asistio,” simula nito. “You thought that Mr. Mortem is a saint but actually he’s not. He’s just using you to cover his inferiority complex towards himself. His insecurity kills him. With your daughter, his perfect world built inside his mind will exist.”

Dapat ay ako ang bayani sa paningin mo, Paola. Ngunit si Sebastian ay isang Noir protagonist; hindi siya marunong maging bayani na walang kapalit. Ang kanyang pagmamahal ay possessive, madilim, at puno ng anino ng kanyang nakaraan sa mafia. Para sa kanya, ang kaligtasan ni Paola ay isang misyon, ngunit ang puso nito ay isang tropeo na ayaw niyang ibahagi sa kahit na kanino—lalo na sa isang "basura" mula sa pamilyang pumatay sa kanyang sariling dangal.

Napatingin ako dito ng masama at matalim. I did my best for this proposal. Ilang ulit akong nag-practice just to make it presentable and perfect. Mrs. Salazar will promote me kung makuha ko ang deal na ito. But I think, I have failed her. Wala man lang akong nakuhang magandang komento dito. Puro panlalait at panghihiya lang ang ginawa nito. He bases my presentation to my character. It is what he wants? Humiliate me? Underestimate my worth? My job? Even myself worth? Enough!

Bakit nila iistorbo ang sarili nila sa isang hamak na karakter na tulad niya? Dapat malaman na hindi lamang isa o dalawang nakatataas ang dumating. Sa halip, naroon ang lahat ng pinuno ng Southland District. Ang isang ordinaryong tao ay hindi magkakaroon ng ganoong katayuan. Si Thomas ay nagsisinungaling o ang kanyang katayuan ay nakamit ang isang altitude na hindi maisip ng sinuman. Mas gugustuhin ni Lucas na maniwala sa una.

Pero kahit anong pilit kong tulugan, nag-e-echo pa rin sa utak ko yung sinabi niya. > “You don’t like being underestimated.” He was right. I didn’t. At siguro ’yon din ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ko siya matanggal sa isip. Kasi Adrian Blackwood didn’t underestimate me. He saw me. And that — that’s what made him dangerous.
