Novel & Cerita What We Hide

Ann said once the guys and the kids were a safe distance away. It felt like the words had bounced around the mall walls as a loud echo and everyone was turning to give us scandalous looks. “You don’t have to announce it to the world!” I whispered harshly. Maria leaned in and whispered, “It’s true he still has feelings for you.” “Will you two stop talking about this?” “Hiding your head in the sand isn’t going to make it go away.” I rushed into the store in an attempt to change the subject, “While we are here, let’s go Christmas shopping! Celebrate the holiday like a family and forget everything else.”

“I’ve failed to inform him on several occasions that he is awful at hiding things.” Blaze’s eyebrows pull together as he repeats the word. “Hiding?” He asks. “Himself?” “No. Not himself.” Liviana couldn’t help but laugh. “We were never fans of hide and seek.” “Then what is it that he’s failing to hide?” Blaze asks, growing confused. “Everything he’s not supposed to have.” She answers, giving the example of hidden money or cigarettes, and when he was feeling bold, even drugs, weed, or worse.

I wanted to tell her why but Nathan looked my way and I quickly threw my face away so he would think I never saw him. "You've done it again, who are you hiding from?" Bethel asked and I twitched my face like I didn't hear her the first time. She looked at me and then at our front then she saw him. "Ooh… it's Nathan right? You're hiding from him, why didn't I notice this the first time." "Notice what?" I retorted in disgust. "You've suddenly stopped talking about him and his name suddenly sounds like maggots in your ear." Hmmm.. it's true I'm hiding from him but his name doesn't sound like maggots, it's just that I'm missing him so much and seeing his face only worsen it so most times I have

Hide every symptom. Hide every trace. Hide everything from Chase. Because if he ever found out what I carried….. I would never see freedom again. And my children would never see the world at all.

She said it could attract too much attention, especially from those who might wish to harm us. I raced through the woods, darting between trees and weaving through the underbrush. My goal was a hidden refuge that Grandma had shown me. It was a place where I could hide and, more importantly, conceal my scent. It was an old tree with a secret door carved into the bark, leading to a small room where someone could hide without being detected.

"I am in a relationship with someone wonderful, but sometimes I feel like he is hiding parts of himself from me." My heart sank a little when she mentioned being in a relationship, but I answered her question honestly. "In my experience, people hide things for two reasons," I said. "Either they are ashamed of something, or they are protecting something precious. The key is figuring out which one it is." "How do you do that?" "You watch how they treat other people when they think no one is looking. You see whether their actions match their words. And most importantly, you trust your instincts about their character."

- HAZEL - Nothing seems interesting. Each day, I’m getting closer and closer to losing my mind yet I’m trying to get my act together. No one really talks about how overwhelming it is to have to hide a part of you you’d love to talk about so much. How miserable keeping to yourself actually is. It’s saddening, hoping someone would be your shoulder to lean on but realising you’re all alone in this, having to fight it yourself.

Arju went stiff after he heard her speaking. " Tell me bhai. After hiding it for so much time why the hell did you tell this to us today. You should have hide it forever. " she asked rudely. "Diya.." " Please tell us bhai. We need to know. If you had decided to hide this . Why did you bring it up today. you should have kept it a secret all your life. That's what you guys were doing for yeayrs right? " " So tell us" screamed Diya

He paused, then gave me that look again—like he knew exactly what I wasn’t saying. “If you want someone truly hidden,” he said, slowly, “you don’t send them away. You tuck them into the folds of the city. Where they blend. Where no one would ever think to look. Hide them in plain sight.” My lips curled, not quite a smile, but close. “Thank you, Ralph.”

“Please tell everyone what we're doing." I laughed but he was not smiling. I ran my fingers through his hair, the room was now extremely quiet all of a sudden. “Are you serious?." “Yes, I'm serious." “Give me more time." I whispered. “How long?." “I don't know yet." “We can't keep hiding this forever. It's stupid to keep this under wraps even when people are finding out, it's going to make it look bad. If we just tell everyone, they'll talk but it'll die down. If they find us, it'll look as if they caught us."
