Told A Lie Novels & Stories

"H-Hindi ako nagsisinungaling. Totoo 'yung kwento ko." Damn, hot seat! "I know you're telling the true story. What I meant to say is, you lied to Joseph and sa sarili mo. May pake ka naman talaga sa kanya at sa nararamdaman n'ya. You know he likes you, but you refused to believe that." "I have my reasons." "Lahat naman siguro tayo." "Paano mo nalaman na nagsisinungaling lang ako?" Kung nasa totoong korte ako ngayon siguradong mas toasted pa ako sa toasted bread. Tustang-tusta na nga ako sa kanya e.

I readied myself and prepare my speech. "I'm sorry papa, I lied."

"Sinubukan kong sabihin kaso nagmamadali siyang umalis. Mukhang hinahabol ang flight niya." I lied for the second time around. "Kahit saglit hindi kayo nakapag-usap?" Umiling ako. "Actually, gusto ko ng sabihin na kaso nagkaroon kami ng kaunting pagtatalo." "Kaya hindi mo na sinubukang sabihin?" "Hindi na. Ayoko ring ma-stress."

Unti-unti siyang napaayos ng tindig at napasulyap sa akin. “I've always wanted to tell you everything. Talk about him,” mahina siyang natawa at ngumiti, “share what I know about him. Pero ayaw niya. Ayaw niyang may makialam. That's why I had to lie.” Pinilit kong ngumiti, kahit na gusto kong ipamukha sa kaniya na isa siyang sinungaling at dapat niyang pagsisihan iyon. But I don't want to raise suspicion, especially if I acted weirdly.

He was all alone. Ever since then, we never met again. That's the story, my dad always told me. That's the story everyone knew. That's the story that they will continue to tell.

Zairon looked at me with disbelief. "What? But-" I cut him off. "I lied, Zairon. I thought maybe you'd feel a slight sliver of responsibility, but it seems you're not interested. So, there's no baby, and there never was." His expression shifted from confusion. "Why would you lie about something like that?" I smirked with a bitterness in my voice. "Just returning the favor. You rejected the idea of being a father, so I rejected the idea of burdening you with it." I keep myself calm upang hindi niya alam na nagsisinungaling lang ako.

patuloy niyang kwento habang pilit pinipigil ang hikbi. “And I told them the truth… I said my Dad has been gone for a long time, but that one day… he’ll come back for us.” Tumigil siya. Saglit na katahimikan. “Then… huhuhu… they laughed at me! They said I was lying! That I don’t really have a Dad… That I’m just like Jessa… adopted… That you’re pretending to be my real Mommy…”

" No! Actually, I don't know. I just pretended in front of him that I knew everything already, and then that's how everything was revealed.

Napatingin sa kanya si Zack at hindi makapaniwala. "At pumayag naman siya?" Tumingin siya dito. "I told him that it's about work." Nauna na siyang naglakad at sumunod naman ito sa kanya. "You lied to him?"
