Told A Lie Novels & Stories

ate Vivian suggested while she's cleaning her nails, naglalagay siya ng nail polish doon saka hinihipan. I bit my tongue inside of my mouth. White lies, I told them a white lie. Kila Dame talaga ako pupunta ngayon para sa gun firing lesson ko. Katatapos ko lang maligo, tapos ngayon ay parang nagbabago na ang isip nila mommy payagan ako. I need to convince her more. "Strict po parents nung mga kasama ko," I lied. Patawad na agad sa nasa itaas. Minsan lang 'to, promise.

“Did you really have to use someone to lie to me?” “Mali ba ‘yon?” Nabisto na siya. Wala na rin naman siyang matakbuhan pa kaya’t ipaglalaban na lang niya. She will try to justify her lies, kahit alam niya sa sarili niyang nonsense ang mga rason na lalabas sa kanyang bibig. “Ikaw rin naman, ah. You used me before. Pero hindi naman ako nagreklamo, ah? I just left you because it was draining. And yes, I lied because… because I don’t want you to act like you didn’t hurt me. In that way, tatantanan mo na ako at hindi mo na ako aabalahin pa.”

“I didn’t plan any of this, Zeidan. Pero natakot ako.” He stared at me, his expression softening, waiting painfully, but patiently for the truth. I took a shaky breath. Finally, I was able to tell him all I could. “Do you remember that day? The day I broke up with you after work?” I asked him. His brows furrowed. “Hmm.. You wouldn’t even look at me. You said you didn’t love me anymore. Mayroon nang iba.” “I lied,” I whispered. “Because it was all I could do that time to push you away and make you give up on me.”

“Kung totoo man ang mga sinabi mo, it only means one thing--- he lied to me. N-Naglihim siya sa akin.” Hindi niya mapigilan ang paggaralgal ng kanyang boses nang sabihin niya ang huling pangungusap. She wouldn’t deny it. She was hurt to know that Trace was hiding something from her. He was so mad before when he found out that she lied about her real work, iyon pala ay may inililihim din ito sa kanya. At mas matindi pa nga ang sikretong mayroon ito.

" Paliwanag niya. Magkakasunod itong umiling, refusing to believe what she just said. "No, you are just-" nahirapan ito na ituloy ang dapat na sasabihin. "I am not lying, she told me that she is jealous of you and everything you had is supposed to be her." Dugtong pa niya. Magkakasunod itong umiling. "D-Don't lie," ani pa nito. "I am no-" hindi niya naituloy ang sasabihin niya dahil sa pagsigaw nito.

"Sabi niyo po kanina, you told him that my sister is in operation but now it's different. Sinabi niyo pong na-coma si Crystal?" "I was about to tell it to you pero tinawag kami. Yes, we lied about it and nadagdagan pa dahil nagpupumilit siyang kausapin si Crystal kaya nagsinungaling kami ulit na nasa coma siya." Napahilamos ako nang mukha. "Then we should tell him the truth."

That's my other side. "Okay if you say so... I can't force you to tell me. And I respect your decision. But, let me tell you this. I have a story telling." pagsuko niya. Maigi akong nakinig sa kwento niya. It's about a couple who broke up because of misleading information. And it's hits me, to the bone.

Tumahimik naman siya at naghintay ng kasunod kong sasabihin. "Nung pinuntahan ko siya dito, nalaman kong inaapoy na siya ng lagnat." I lied. I'm sorry, but I have to. White lies naman siguro to diba? "Syempre, inalagaan ko. Kaya lang, hindi ko naman inaasahang mahirap palang alagaan ang isang yun. Kaya ayun, gumaling nga siya pero ako naman ang napagod. Kaya nagpahinga na muna ako."

Nahigit ni Faith ang pag hinga nang mayamaya pa ay muling marinig ang sinabi ng lalaki. “N-No, Zack… I don’t know that.” She could lie… Faith know damn well she could just lie to him and say she did know just like the way she was damn sure that even if she did tell him that she knew how much he loved him there would be a very small chance almost impossible that Zack would still remember all that later. She could lie and tell him she knows, she could tell him she knew that a long time ago just to make both of them at ease and maybe by lying it would make the situation they have at that very moment stop.

Tuluyan na iyong napalitan ng malamig at bakanteng ekspresyon. “Then I found out that everything was a lie. My marriage to him was a big mistake. It was all fake.”
