Why Do We Cry Novels & Stories

Why am I acting like this? Nakapasok agad ako sa kwarto at agad na humiga. I am covering my mouth with pillow, hoping that my mother won't hear my sobs. Why am I crying? Dahil ba nasaktan ako sa nakita ko? Bakit ako nasasaktan sa nakita ko?

banta niya habang naka-igting panga at masama ang tingin sa akin. “I want to cry. I don’t know why I’m crying. I’m so frustrated because my tears won’t stop coming up. I don’t understand myself. Am I getting crazy because I’m taking pills?” My tears won’t stop coming down. “Stop drinking pills,” sabi niya habang naka-igting ang panga niya. “I’m crying for no reason,” iyak ko sa kanya. He closes his eyes and opens them immediately. Mukha naman siyang kumalma.

I hug his pillow as my tears come out. Wala pa man lang napapatunayan, pero hindi ko na mapigilan maging emosyonal. Hindi ko alam kung dahil lang ba sa sobrang dami ng gumugulo sa isip ko o ano. I can't stop myself from thinking more. I can't stop myself from crying.

"Aren't you happy? A-are you sad? Don't you want it? Don't you?" Yamirah chuckled. "Worried na worried? Masaya nga ako, e." "Then why are you crying?" tanong pa rin ng binata. "Tears of joy 'to. Why don't you just wipe my tears like the other guys do, anyway?" Humigpit din ang yakap ng binata sa kanya, mas mahigpit pa kaysa sa ginawa niya. "If I wipe your tears, I would be looking at them and at your swollen eyes. I hate it. I don't want to see you crying."

All of that pain and sorrow stuffed inside me that I couldn't let out in the past few months is looking for ways to the surface. "Rare wait!" Akmang lalabas na muli ako sa office niya nang pigilan niya ako. My breathing was ragged, gasping. I bit my lips. My eyes drip with tears. The walls that hold me up, make me strong. Salty drops fall. I'm trembling. I cant stop. Even as I press my hand against the wall it shakes, it trembles. It's raw, everything, raw tears, raw emotions. I can't stop... I can't stop. Why can I not stop crying?

“Do not be ashamed. It’s only natural for people to cry whether you are a man or woman. Tears has no weight, but it surely carry heavy feelings, at kung masyado ng mabigat ang lahat ay kailangan na natin itong ilabas.” Hindi na pinigilan pa ni Andrea ang kaniyang sarili at hinila si Leopold palapit sa kaniya. Alam niya kung gaano kasakit ang mawalan ng mahal sa buhay dahil naranasan na niya ito noong mawala ang kaniyang ina. At alam niyang sa mga sandaling iyon ay yakap lamang at pag unawa mula sa iba ang tanging makapagpapagaan ng lahat. By experiencing pain and shedding tears, a man will become a man. It’s okay to cry but we have to move on for the sake of those people around us.

I looked up at the dark sky before releasing a sad smile. There is no star. The clouds are dark, and there isn't a large amount of noise. I felt the corner of my eyes teared up. "Why is this happening, anyway?" I questioned, as if I am with someone. "Why do I have to risk our friendship? Why do I need to do this?" I added before a tear finally fall down. Napayuko ako at agad iyong pinunasan. I am wearing a mascara, I shouldn't cry to preserve my make up or else, it'll be ruined and I will look like a monster in front of the people.

Isang butil ng luha ang kumawala at dahan-dahang tumulo pababa. “There’s nothing wrong with crying. It just means you still care enough to see them as family. It shows how kind-hearted you are, and that they’ve let you down but you never have to blame yourself for their mistakes.” Isa-isang pumatak ang mga luha mula sa mga mata ni Mallory. Tumingin siya kay Theodore, malabo man ang kanyang paningin dahil sa pag-iyak, naramdaman niya ang bigat sa kanyang dibdib na unti-unting gumagaan.

Tumango ako nang paulit-ulit. "Oo, tayo na ulit." For the first time, I cried not because I am hurt or sad. I cried because I am happy and in love.

Talaga lang, ah. Ganoon lamang ang aking pwesto. Hanggang sa hindi ko mamalayang nakatulog na pala ako sa labis na pag-iisip at pagngignitngit sa galit. Nagising na lang akong may luha sa aking mga mata at humihikbi. Kaagad akong bumangon at pinunasan ang mga luha sa aking mga mata. Why the hell am I crying? I can't remember dreaming something bad a while ago.
