The Strangers Real Story の小説・ストーリー

Mukhang nag-aalala na talaga siya sa pinsan o talagang ganito na siya. "No, he doesn't. I found him outside the resto bar while I'm on my way home. I'm working on a firm working with his new hotel, if you're informed." Oh God. I'm talking nonsense. "If it's okay we can meet outside my apartment building. I'll send you the location." Baliw na yata ako para ibigay sa isang estranghero ang address ng apartment ko. Building lang naman, hindi naman kung ano'ng floor at unit number. But, still.

"Ah, akala ko wala ka dito, ba't ang dilim yata?" "Di ko alam kung san ang switch insan, nakalimutan ko. Tinago mo ba?" Bigla ko naman siyang narinig na tumawa. Lumiwanag ang paligid at nakita ko siya na nasa tapat ng pintuan. "Nandito lang oh." sabay turo niya don sa gilid lang malapit sa may pintuan. "Hindi ka na pala takot sa dilim insan?" "Ah, oo nasanay ako don sa States eh, minsan kase yong daanan nila walang ilaw."

Nagpahila pa ako sa matinding kamunduhan at pangangailangan. Am I really that horny for me to easily cave in with a stranger's touch? Dapat traumatized na ako sa mga stranger e. Nagka-anak pa nga ako sa isa. Am I craving too much for a stranger's attention? Because, the last time that I gave in for a stranger, Lukariah Zaugustus came in. What's with me and with a stranger, really? I can just call him, maybe? Hindi ko nalang siya haharapin dahil mas madali 'yon. No destructions, just pure negotiations.

Doon umiikot ng mundo ni Zackary. Maya maya pa ay pumasok na ang kaniyang tauhan. “Master, we have checked everything. The four wheels were blown up with micro explosives, but the child’s identity is very ordinary. He lost his father when he was young, and the three brothers lived with their mother in the mountain village. They just came to Manila today. There is nothing unusual about the family of four. Our people have brought the child’s mother here, and she is now in the meeting room.”

Nagkaroon si Choleen ng Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder o PTSD. Hindi masisisi ni Aling Martha ang pamangkin kung bakit ito nagkaroon ng gan'ong sakit. Dahil alam niyang hindi naging madali para kay Choleen ang naging setwasyon nito. Nawalan siya ng magulang, at nawala din ng anak. Kahit alam ni Aling Martha na wala sa plano ang batang iyon alam niyang masakit para din kay Choleen na nawala iyon. Ni hindi niya alam na nagdadalang-tao pala siya.

“There is no perfect family. You might see a complete family picture in frames, but never the broken parts of their relationship.” He looked at me, and smiled faintly. “My family isn't perfect just because I have a complete one.” Complete… isn't perfect. “I have a sibling from another woman. My father impregnated an employee in our company, and I just had to know about it right after I graduated from college…” he looked at me, his eyes glistening from the building tears in the corner of his eyes. Is he about to cry? And what? That was true? That his father… impregnated an employee?

Para lang itong naglalahad ng paninda nitong kakanin sa kanya. "What?! Strangers aren't allowed inside—" Inagaw nito ang sinasabi niya, "I'm Adam Sebastian Castillo, so I am not longer a stranger to you. Puwede na?" "You're still stranger to me. Ni hindi kita kilala... well, I mean personally." She walked forward. "Kung 'yan lang pala ang problema mo, puwede naman tayong mag-date to know me better. Just to inform you, mabait ako at maginoo—"

Para akong hinihila nito upang magpaanod na lamang sa mga mangyayari. And that actually happened. Nang hindi ko namamalayan, tuluyan na rin akong nalunod sa halik ng estrangherong iyon. Ibinabalik ko ang kaparehong lebel ng halik na ibinibigay nya sakin, habang mas lalong inilalapit ang katawan ko sa kanya. And from that on, I knew that this night would forever change my life.

tanong nito na mayroong ngiti sa labi. “I don’t like sharing to strangers,” she replied. “No luchshe podelit'sya sekretom s neznakomtsem. On ne osudit tebya, potomu chto ne znayet tvoyu istoriyu s drugoy storony,” anito. [translation: But it's better to share a secret to a stranger. They will not judge you because they dont know the side of your story.] Mahina siyang natawa at napailing. “Really?” Ngumisi ito. “Really.”

At bakit alam iyon ng isang estranghero? Sa unang pagkakataon mula nang magsimula ang lahat, hindi na lamang nakaraan ni Adrian ang kanilang hinahanap. May nakaraan din si Mara. Isang bahagi ng kuwento na hindi niya maalala. At maaaring doon nakatago ang tunay na dahilan kung bakit, sa gitna ng napakaraming tao sa isang airport, pinili niyang hilahin ang isang estranghero at sabihing magpakasal sila.
