Novel & Cerita Sinimulan Ko To Walang Naniniwala

No promise wrapped in spectacle. Just certainty.

Napabaling ako sa kaniya. "Ang family naman mismo ni Saltina ang nag-invite sa atin kaya kung anong request natin, ibinibigay nila." Tumango ako at wala nang sinabi. I really did not approve of the idea. Ayaw ko kasing tumatanggap ng mga bagay-bagay na hindi ko naman talaga deserve. I'll put an effort for it before I could get it so it's still embarrassing and concerning for me. I was born without anything. It's either I would forcefully convince myself that I am contented with what I have or work for it.

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..."

“Ma’am ikaw naman inspirational quote!” “OO NGA!” Napailing siya bago tumingin sa'min. “You want my advice?” Tumango kaming lahat then she smiled. “Write like you have something worth saying.” Tahimik ulit ang lahat at sa simpleng linyang 'yon, parang may kung anong umayos sa dibdib ko kasi oo nga. Hindi kami nandito para lang manalo. Nandito kami dahil may mga kwento kaming gustong sabihin at habang isa-isa kaming bumababa ng bus dala 'yung IDs, notebooks, cameras, at samu’t-saring kaba sa dibdib, napatingin ako sa langit ng Antipolo.

Nag-uumpisa na isyang kabahan. "Ganoon ba? Ano ba 'yan? Ano bang nararamdaman mo?" Wala siyang sinagot na kahit isa tanong ng kaniyang kaibigan. Ayaw niyang pareho silang mag-assume. Mas assuming pa naman ito sa kaniya. At isa pa, masyado siyang walang tiwala sa bibig ng kaniyang kaibigan. Kapag sinai niya rito, pniguradong sasabihin nito kay Adrian kahit na wala pang kahit anong confirmation ang kaniyang sinabi.

We are so doing this here and I have no say in it. ***

Her eyes and heart. I trust everything that we have is true. "I will never love somebody else the way I love you." hindi niya makakalimutan ang mga salitang yun. It's not a lie and he is very sure of that. Kasabay noon naalala na naman niya ang tagpo kagabi na agad nagpakuyom ng kamao niya. It shakes his faith but definitely not going to break it. Muli siyang napatingin sa kaharap at malungkot na ngumiti ulit ito sa kanya.

"You really want me to believe that?" "I don't care if you believe me or not, that will happen." "What a Liar, break the mate bond." My brows raised in confusion. "Break the mate bond and I'll believe you "

"Your solution was a good idea but--it didn't seem right. What about love? Do you love me?" "Love! What is love? It's just a word that was often misused to express lust. A guy would say 'I love you' when he really meant 'I want to make love with you'! Gusto mo ba ng mga ganoong kasinungalingan, Mina?" Umiling si Mina. She was dizzy with the crazy proposal. "Paano magiging maganda ang pagsasama natin kung walang pag-ibig na namamagitan sa atin?"
