Social Sins Novels & Stories

mahina kong sagot. "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his or her own body." I remembered this verse from the bible and it makes me a lot more guiltier of my deed. I couldn't agree more to this doctor at nahihiya akong ang isang tulad ko na halos sampung taong nasa loob ng seminaryo ay nagawa ito. Kahit nga siguro isang taon akong maglakad na nakaluhod sa kumbento ay hindi parin maiibsan itong guilt na nararamdam ko ngayon. God always forgives but I don't know if I could ever forgive myself.

Prologue Ang malakas na bass ng musika ay parang tibok ng puso ni Isabella Reyes habang nakatayo siya sa gitna ng rooftop party sa Makati. Hindi siya sanay sa ganito—mga taong nakasuot ng designer clothes, champagne na parang tubig lang ang agos, at mga ngiti na puno ng plastic. Ang boss niya, si Mr. Santos, ang nag-insist na sumama siya bilang “plus one” kasi biglang nag-cancel ang date nito. Overtime pay daw. Para sa isang 28-anyos na sekretarya na halos isang kahig-isang tuka, mahirap tumanggi.

Ang alam ko ay malalapit na kaibigan lang ni Wregan ang tinatawag niyang ganyan, at kabilang doon si Enver at Luca. "Right. You haven't formally met yet.” Lumapit siya sa akin. "He is Gregory Zahed, like me, Luca, and Enver, Gregory is one of the founders of the Seven Sins. I am not sure if I mentioned this to you, but in the Underground Society, I was called WRATH, a combination of the first two letters of my first name and the second to last letter of my last name. The same goes for Luca, who is known as LUST, Enver as ENVY, and Gregory as GREED. There are three more guys you haven't formally met: SLOTH, GLUTTONY, and PRIDE," mahabang paliwanag ni Wregan.

I now see myself as someone who sins on a regular basis, and I'm working on that because of her. The word means something different for me than it does in contemporary culture. As a child I learned that to sin is to do something really bad. If you look it up you'll find it usually refers to a violation of a religious code of conduct. So by this definition if you're not religious, you can't really sin, because you have no religious code of conduct to violate. "Is it okay if you sinned because of me?" I asked her as she caressed the side of my cheeks.

“That’s what all of you say. You hide behind your badge, your training, pretending you’re clean. But you’re just the same blood as him.” Tumigil ito sa harap niya, mabagal, sinusukat ang bawat reaksyon niya. “Why are you doing this?” she asked, her voice breaking. “You’ve already ruined me, Quen. You’ve taken everything—” “No,” bulong nito, halos pabulong pero mabigat. “Not yet. You’ll start paying for his sins tomorrow.” Hinawakan niya ang kanyang baba, pinatingala siya.

I became someone I no longer recognized, a man burdened with sins too heavy for anyone else to carry. In time, my life spiraled out of control. The betrayal of my own conscience led me down a path I hadn’t anticipated. I left the military, lost to my own demons, and found myself entangled in the very world I once fought against. The mafia became my refuge, a dark sanctuary where I tried to drown my guilt, my anger, and my sorrow. I became a sinner—willingly committing sins, crossing lines I never would have imagined as a soldier. I justified it then, telling myself it was all I deserved, that I was beyond redemption. But deep down, I was trapped in a web I couldn't escape.

Kahit pa sabihing hindi siya sinasaktan physically. Pinapagtanggol siya ng kaniyang ina mula sa kaniyang ama. Ngunit para sa kanya ay wala ng kaso iyon dahil ang isipan niya ay wala sa tamang huwesyo. Isa lamang ang nasa isipan niya sa oras na iyon. She is immoral, unethical and a sinner.
