Novel & Cerita The Glass House

bulalas ko tsaka pinakawalan ang palaso. Tatlong palaso ang pinakawalan ko para sa tatlong taong nakatayo sa harap ng mansion namin. Our mansion's wall are made of tinted glass which means, hindi nakikita ng taong nasa labas ang kung ano mang ginagawa namin sa loob. The glass was thick that even bullets can't get pass through it and even sharp things can't break it.

We entered a door that seemed to have been built a long time ago because it was wrapped in a vine that was holding it back. Lalabas kaya kami sa Narnia kung sakaling pumasok kami dito? 'Ang utak mo, Kastiel!' Sigaw ko sa isip ko. I will be fooled by what I see here in the palace! I was dazzled by the light when a garden startled us. This place looks like a paradise. There stood a gazebo in the middle of the lake and a small house made of crystal. Its outdoor terraces cascading down to the waters of Lake Maggiore. Frameless sliding glass doors and curving panels of glass connect the interior to outdoor terraces, their shapes echoing the forms of the house and stepping down to the water's edge

Napangiti ako. Nasa loob kami ng napakagandang glass house sa likod ng mansyon. Napapalibutan iyon ng mga halamang namumulaklak, at mga gulay habang ang sinag ng araw ay marahang tumatama sa salamin, dahilan para maging mas maliwanag at payapa ang buong paligid. Sa totoo lang… Pakiramdam ko’y matagal ko nang kilala ang pamilya nila kahit ilang buwan pa lang naman akong bahagi ng buhay nila.

tanong ko. I saw the terrace, maganda naman. Hindi ko masyadong napagmasdan ang paligid dahil sa kaba ko kanina pero malaki ang bahay nila. Two-storey house with terrace and garage, pero wala akong nakitang sasakyan. The bachelor's house indeed. "Nandito gamit ko tsaka mad-distract ka lang doon," sabi niya na parang sapat na iyon para ipaliwanag ang lahat.

Agad namang binuksan ng guard ang double glass door pagkatapat niya roon. "Good morning, Ma'am." bati nito sa kaniya. Isang tango lang ang isinagot niya sa guwardiya at tuloy-tuloy lang ang paglalakad niya patungo sa may receptionist area. The whole area was very spacious. Sa tantiya niya ay nasa limang hektarya ang sinakop ng buong building, and it was made of transparent thick glass. Iniisip tuloy niya na baka obsess sa salamin si Mr. Yohan Everette Montreal.

The room has it's own chandelier. The glass floor the are shining because of the reflection of the light coming outside. Ang lamig din sa loob because of it air-conditionaire. May couch sa may bandang entrance ng room at apat na baitang na hagtan tungo sa table ni Vincent. Ngunit napakunot ang noo ko at nawala ang pagkamangha sa lugar ng makitang wala roon si Vincent.

I can't tell if this is indeed the afterlife, but I will cherish this second chance. Malakas akong napabuntong-hininga at napatingin sa gilid kung saan may malaking glass wall. Nakuha ng malawak na dagat and atensyon ko. Meron palang malapit na beach sa likod na bahagi ng mansion. Bumangon ako mula sa pagkakahiga at lumapit sa glass window.

Mag-aalas singko na rin kasi. From my position, I roam my eyes to sight their house. It was so huge that it is possible to spy them, lalo na at marami sa parte ng bahay nila ay glass wall. They just have a charcoal colored curtains that is being tied on each side. The exterior of their house is demeaning. It has 4 floors, tall and massive concrete walls, and in mixture of dark gray and metallic gray paint. It was mesmerizing. Siguradong nagtulungan ang mag-asawa sa blueprint ng bahay nila.

THE GLASS GALLERY – MANHATTAN, NEW YORK Sa loob ng engrandeng glass-walled museum, nagsipagtipon ang pinakamayayaman at pinakamakapangyarihang pangalan sa mundo... mga tech tycoon, real estate king, at mga tagapagmana ng mga American dynasty. Mga taong kayang galawin ang isang bansa sa isang tawag lang. The night hummed with the scent of expensive perfume, the clink of crystal glasses, and the careful threading of power plays disguised as polite laughter.

Glass walls, open spaces, white furnitures, at matatanaw mo agad ang dagat mula sa living room. Pero hindi ito simpleng beach getaway. Sa bawat glass wall ay nakalagay ang reinforced steel shutters. Sa bawat pintuan ay may touchpad lock. At bawat sulok ay may nakatagong infrared sensors. "This is… homey but scary," bulong ko. Napangiti si Theo, bahagya. “That’s the point.”
