The Glass Is Half Empty Novels & Stories

Tulala lang ako sa kanyang mukha habang nagsasalita siya and I can feel and sense na calmness in his heart. “An hourglass symbolizes the idea of inevitability, that all of the happenings in our life run on cycles, and although we do have choices in our life, there are some cycles that just cannot be stopped.” Lumingon siya sa akin. He is smiling at me pero kita ko sa kanyang mga mata ang lungkot. I know that he is referring to his brother. “It also indicates the balance and cycle of life. When the other side of the glass is empty it means someone just died, and when you flid the other side of the glass, it means that a new life was born.”

May half-empty glass ng whiskey sa tabi ng keyboard. Ang ganda pa rin niya kahit pagod. Pero ngayong mas tinitigan ko siya nang malapitan, nakita ko ang bigat sa ilalim ng mga mata niya, ang pangingitim sa ilalim ng cheekbones, ang hindi pantay na paghinga. “Hey,” bulong ko. “Matulog ka muna. Hindi mo kailangang tapusin lahat ‘to ngayong gabi.”

Antonio leaned over and whispered something to Dark, na ikinakunot lamang ng noo ng binata. "I didn't know that one year was not enough for you to make a moved." Antonio then shook his head with a disapproving look on his face. He clicked his tongue then said, "I already told you, pouring a clear and clean water over an empty glass will quench the thirst. And just like that, you can also do it to an empty heart." "Don't joke around, Antonio," Dark hissed, ngunit isang halakhak lamang ang natanggap nito mula sa lalaki.

Ako naman hindi makapaniwalang tumitig sa kanya. "Well, at least now you're aware. Thanks to me,” turan ko. Tumawa siya ulit. "Yeah, thanks to you.” Hindi na ako kumibo. Binaling ko na lang ang tingin ko sa bintana kahit wala naman akong halos makita roon dahil gabi na. "I understand that you don't drink. But you should try this one. Mild lang naman 'to. It can't make you drunk when you had just a glass.”

sagot ko nang hindi lumilingon. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam kung bakit bigla akong naging ganito. Baka nga dahil napagod ako. Gab didn't say anything. Instead, he reached for the glass in my hand, filled it with water, and handed it back to me. "Drink. You need to stay hydrated. We have a long night ahead.”

reklamo nito. "Fine!" Nag salin na ako sa wine glass nito at nilagok. Grabe parang walang lasang alcoholic drink ang wine na 'to. Talagang pang ladies wine nga lang. "Ikaw ayaw mo talaga?" alok ko dito. "Thanks na lang lov, bawal talaga." wika nito. "Fine! Sige, tapusin ko lang 'tong half bottle uwe ko na lang ang half." wika ko.
