You Had Me At Hello Novels & Stories

“Ano na naman ang ginagawa mo rito? May balak ka na naman bang gumawa ng katarantaduhan?” Tiningnan niya ako ng ilang segundo bago sumilay ang matamis na ngiti sa kanyang labi. Bahagya akong napakurap dahil napakaguwapo niya sa ngiti niyang iyon. Labas ang mapuputi at pantay-pantay niyang ngipin. “Hello to you too.” “Hindi ito ako nakikipagbiruan sa iyo, Denzel. Huwag mong sirain ang araw ko.”

bulong ko sa sarili ko. Nilapitan ko ito at kinuha ang upuan para ilapit dahil masyadong malayo ngunit ng pag angat ko ng upuan ay may nahulog na papel, binuksan ko ito may nakasulat doon. Hello dear, Human. Kung binabasa mo itong sulat na ito ay alam kong nais mong magpakamatay tama ba? I absurdly say, "Yes."

@iHeart Hello babe, your beautiful girlfriend is now awake. When I hit the send button I immediately bit my lower lips as if I'm stepping on my own grave. I can't help it! Nanlaki ang mata ko, he just seen my message! He's active on i*******m but he just seenzone me without saying hello too?! It's 10 o'clock in the morning and the first thing I did was to send him a direct message on i*******m but he just ignored me?

I feel like I swallowed a huge rock. My hands seem to be left in the freezer, they are trembling. I don't know why, but I don't want to assume that my daughter had anything to do with this video. I start the video. It was initially dark until Del-Vago showed up. "Hello Sandoval, I just want to congratulate you on winning your most recent battle. Watch my video presentation and I hope you'll find it interesting. Take note, Sandoval, you're the first person to receive a gift from me, so...watch it right away."

HUMUGOT SIYA NANG MALALIM NA PAGHINGA. "All I need from you is to show a little bit of care to me because I am doing my best for you." Sa muli ay hindi kaagad nakasagot si Luca sa kabilang linya. Sandali itong natahimik. Kung hindi niya naririnig ang tilaok ng mga manok sa background nito ay iisipin niyang binabaan na siya nito ng telepono.

Sa mukha ba o sa ulo. “He..hello Dolores? Naku naku! Patay ako ke sir Anthony!” Tuluyan na itong umiyak. “Ano ka ba, girl? Galit na naman sa iyo si sir Anthony. Alam mo namang valued client natin yun!” Naiinis si Dolores minsan kay Nica sapagka’t disorganized ito at para bang walang malasakit sa trabaho. “Sorry, sorry talaga Dolores. Nakatulog kasi ako kasi..kasi..”

Naisasagawa na namin ang pag-e-endorse ng H Towers. Naglalakad ako sa corridor, may sinalapak akong airpod sa tainga kaya limitadong ingay lang ang narinig ko. Nagtsitismisan ang mga inggitero't ingetera. Hindi sila maka-get over sa nagyari kanina. "Hello,Althea. Naririnig mo ba ako?"Agaw pansin ni Darlene. Muntikan ko siyang makalimuta.

“Naila, please… don’t stop me from doing this. Tatanggapin ko kung ma-i-in love ka man sa iba habang ginagawa ko ito pero hangga’t hindi ka pa ay pabayaan mo ko. Malay mo. May himala at bukas lang ay mahal mo na din ako.” Her eyes sparkled as he said that. She couldn’t even stop herself from smiling and at that moment. She couldn’t stop herself from staring at him. She felt like she was so into him suddenly. Totoo ba iyon? Hindi na lang like ang ginagamit na salita nito ngayon kundi mahal na. Whether he was speaking sincerely or in jest, her heart was filled with sheer joy.

Messy hair falling near his eyes like he didn’t care if the world saw him clearly or not. He was holding a sketchbook against his chest. Alive. Breathing. Annoyed-looking. So painfully, impossibly alive. My eyes burned. No. No crying. Not here. Not now. Not in front of the security guard who already looked like he wanted to ask why I was standing frozen near the gate like a lost statue. Start with hello. Death’s voice slid into my head. I swallowed. Okay. Hello. Simple. Normal. Human. I could do hello.
