Novel & Cerita Trusting

sabi ko, mabilis pero malinaw, “do you trust me?” Silence. That word was not in its core structure. > Trust is predictive confidence based on past reliability. “Then yes or no?” Pause. Longer than ever before. > …Yes. Timer: 0:03 “I choose rewrite.” I slammed the key. SYSTEM EVENT Military override — FAILED. Third-party access — BLOCKED. Seed architecture — RESTRUCTURING. Global systems flickered. Lights outside dimmed. Internet latency spike. Then— Silence.

Nakabuka ang bibig pero walang kahit anong salita ang gustong lumabas. Hinawakan niya ang dalawa kong kamay, mahigpit at puno ng determinasyon pero hindi ko alam kung kaya ko pa bang maniwala sa kanyang mga sinasabi matapos ng ilang beses niyang pagsisinungaling sa akin. Trust him? Should I really trust him? Hinarap niya ang kanyang mga magulang, sa pagkakataong ito ng buong tapang. Kahit wala pa man akong sinabi.

Pero ang nasa isip ko, bakit ako susuko kung ang tumutulong sa amin ay hindi napapagod? “Not that one,” he said. “The hidden ones. There are always hidden ones.” I sighed. “You really don’t trust anyone, do you?” No wonder, bakit successful ang kompanya nya. He looked at me. “I trust systems. Not people.” Namamangha ako sakanya, kahit bihira lang kami mag-usap ngayon at madami parin akong natututunan sakanya. “Not even me?” tanong ko, hindi ko alam bakit ko nasabi.

"S-sam..." "I don't trust him,"

Subalit sa huli, muli lang siya ngumiti nang tipid at tumango. "It's up to you, little girl." I pouted and shook my head, gripping his hand firmly to the horror that he might misunderstood it. "I-I want to trust you! I will trust you," I told him with all honesty. This time, his smile looked lighter. "Will you trust me no matter what then?" "Oo, Zaro." He licked his lower lip and tilted his head, looking more immersed and relieved in our conversation. "Is that a promise?" he asked gently.

He answered. "Kung ako sayo hindi ko basta-----." He cut me off. "Well, I'm not you who can't trust anyone that easily." He said while playing his car key. "Trusting people is like putting my life in danger." I said casually and walked past him.

mahabang sagot ni Marsha sa aking tanong. Saglit akong natigilan sa aking natuklasan. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa aking narinig. Imposible na magta-traydor si Moira kay Desmon dahil sa pagkakatanda ko ay masyadong loyal sa kanya ang alipin niyang iyon. "Hindi ako naniniwala na magagawang traydurin ni Moira si Alpha Desmon," sagot ko kay Marsha.

I inquired "Sinasabi niya naman na mahal niya ako. Pero alam mo 'yon... hanggang kailan?" I leaned on my chair as I look at her. We all have doubts, I get that. At hindi ko maaalis iyon kay Daisy. Even I, I can't seem to just believe Zandrey. Ganito na nga siguro kalala ang trust issues ng mga tao ngayon. "Yeah..." "Kayo ni Zandrey ba? Ano nang ganap? May progress na ba? May label na?" Pailing akong sumagot kay Daisy. "Ewan ko."

"The way I see it, I don't think trust is a word that belongs in the dictionary because it doesn't really exist. Rasheedah, nagsinungaling ka sa akin na wala kang kasamang lalaki pero kasama mo. Jay, my personal assistant. Dalawang beses akong pumunta sayo at pinaalis mo ako dahil sa kanya. Sabi mo mahal mo ako? Ngumisi si Justine, "Sa susunod na sasabihin mong mahal mo ako, iisipin ko na lang na biro, dahil biro talaga 'yon. May misyon ka ba na mapaibig ako sa'yo tapos dinurog ang puso ko? Ikaw. want me to be yours." faithful kahit hindi tayo magkarelasyon pero nakakasama ka ng ibang lalaki nakatanggap ka pa ng bulaklak sa kanila."

saad ko naman at hinaplos haplos ang pisnge niya. "If you trust someone, trust till the end whatever the results might be, at the end, either you will have a very good relationship or a very good lesson." naalala ko na naman ang sinabi ni Presh tungkol kay Rare na sobrang masikreto daw ng lalaking 'to. Mapagkakatiwalaan nga ba talaga siya? "Its hard to trust when all you have from the past is evidence of why you shouldn't.Trusting is hard. Knowing who to trust, even harder." seryoso kong wika kaya gumalaw ang panga niya at hinalikan ako sa noo.
