Real Eyes Realize Real Lies Meaning Novels & Stories

"The things that you hide, Coz." "Truth?" He unbelievably laughed. "What truth, Reese?" "Stop lying, will you? Why don't you just tell me everything?" "I'm not lying—" "But you're hiding something, right?" I cut. "Hiding the truth is also lying, Coz. No explanation needed." Mahirap ba talagang aminin ang totoo? Siguro oo dahil kung madali lang, wala na sanang nagsisinungaling. He then became serious. "You want to know the truth?"

“I'll believe it when I see the official documents with my own eyes.” Bahagya akong tumango. “Okay.” “Actually, that's just how the real world operates. Hard facts only.” Napangiti ako nang bahagya, sa kauna-unahang pagkakataon ngayong gabi. “Tama ka. Numbers don't lie.” Hindi niya alam kung gaano katotoo ang mismong sinabi niya.

Sa unang tingin, parang harmless, pero sa caption at timing, suguradong magmukhang scandalous. Habang tinitigan niya ang litrato, ramdam niya ang init bg galit at tuwa. "Akala mo ikaw lang marunong mag control ng narrative? Let's see kung pano mo ipapaliwanang to," Nag Type siya ng caption. #theuntoldtruthPh 'Funny how some men preach about loyalty and honor... Yet can't even stay true for a single night. Power and money can't hide the kind of person you really are, Mr. Perfect Del Rio.'

Hindi niya ako matignan ng diretso na lagi niya naman ginagawa kapag kinakausap niya ako. Base sa nabasa kong book about psychology, kapag malikot ang mata ng kausap mo at hindi ka matitigan sa mata, it means he or she doesn't tell you the truth, they are lying. Pansin ko rin sa kanya na kanina pa siya kamot nang kamot sa ulo. Sa pagkakaalam ko'y wala naman siyang kuto at dundruff, kaya bakit siya kamot nang kamot sa ulo?

“Kahit kailan.” Nang marinig ang emosyon sa boses niya, agad na sumuko si James. “Alright. Alright.” Mas lumambot ang tono nito. “Hindi na kita pipilitin.” Huminga ito nang malalim. “But listen to me.” “Even if you stay, the truth will still come out.” “A lie is a lie.” Bahagyang tumigas ang boses nito. “At hindi kayang panindigan ng impostor na iyon ang kasinungalingan habang buhay.”

Marahang dumulas ang mainit na luha sa aking pisngi, hanggang sa sunod-sunod na ang mga patak na nakikihalubilo sa malakas na bugso ng ulan. "W-What else is there to discuss? Alam ko na ang totoo..." Laking ginhawa ko nang maitawid ko iyon nang maayos. He took a step forward. Pumikit ako nang mariin. No, Rigella. These are all lies. Even from the very beginning. They are all a fraud. "Please..." Nagmulat ako. "Ang kapal ng mukha mo!"

Ang kulit ng tinamaan ng lintik. "Lawak ng imagination mo, 'te. Ang layo na nang narating. Walang limit, ah," sarkastikong komento ko. "Of course. Ako pa ba?" proud pa na sagot nito. Jusmiyo talaga. "Pero paalala lang, iba ang imagination sa reality. Kahit single kami pareho, cannot be, okay?" "Cannot be? Sino ang may sabi at kakatayin ko, now na!"

Nagkuwentuhan lang kami saglit bago binaba ang tawag. Dahil hindi naman ako inaantok ay bumangon ulit ako at tumambay sa tapat ng glass wall. As I watch the city lights, I can't help but smile. Dati pangarap ko rin ito, ang umupo habang pinapanood ang matingkad na ilaw ng siyudad. Yes, it might be just a lighted building by someone but for me it's my dream. Parang nakakagaan ng loob habang tinitingnan ko ang mga ito. It motivates me to work harder and chase more of my dream, and that's what I am going to do.

Ngumiti siya ng sinsero at nanigas naman ako sa kinatatayuan ko. “We’re both liars Nico and that’s completely fine as long as that lie will not hurt us both in the end. You see, I’m scared of pain too.” This girl, where is she getting all these words she’s telling me right now? It’s giving me a big impact. “The truth is not always the best. You have to look at lies sometimes too. Getting to know all the truth will just make you insane especially when you’re living in this world. You can lie all you want but do you know what’s the thing that doesn’t lie?”

Pero isang bagay ang malinaw. The lie is no longer just a cover. It’s reality now. And reality has consequences.
