Novel & Cerita Your Smile

'It's time for revenge, haha! Ngumiti siya nang napakatamis, pero tila mali yata dahil parang naestatwa ang mga ito. Kaya biglang kumunot ang noo niya. "Do you know that you have a very beautiful smile?" seryosong wika ni Kenneth. "A smile that could make someone stop and just stare at you," dugtong ni Dominic. "A smile that could remove stress?" dagdag pa ni Kevin. Pakiramdam niya ay namula ang kanyang pisngi dahil sa mga narinig.

He flashed his white set of teeth and a dimple breathed in when he did that. I nodded and did a thumbs up. Agad itong nagpasalamat at bumalik sa pwesto niya. I took a deep breath and began acting like what he said. With an upright posture, I elevate my stance to lengthen my neck and gently tilt my head to the right. "Amazing! Allow a heartfelt smile to light up your face. Reflect on a treasured memory, something that authentically fills you with happiness." Aurelios' face immediately flashed on my mind. The way he called me that day. The night we shared together! A soft, genuine smile gracefully appears on her lips.

Kumbaga, sa haba ng araw na hindi kami nakapag-bonding ay ngayon na lang ulit namin ito magagawa. “You’re smiling again.” Napalingon ako kay Nolan habang hawak ko ang iced coffee ko. “Ano naman?” “That smile.” “Anong meron sa smile ko?” “Mukha kang batang ngayon lang ulit makakalabas ng bahay.”

Nakatalikod na ito ngayon at nakaharap sa salamin pero ang tingin nito ay nasakaniya at kita niya iyon dahil sa salamin. "Alam mo mali ka. We're not that close for you to know if my smile is genuine of not, pero kahit na hindi tayo gano'n ka-close, genuine ang smile ko palagi since day 1." Pagsasalta niya ng nakangiti, or rather, pagsisinungaling.

Biglang nag-iba ang expression niya. Yung matigas na panga niya, unti-unting lumambot. The intimidating crease on his forehead smoothed out. And then—he smiled. Hindi pilit. Hindi peke. Isang genuine smile na para bang natutuwa siyang makita ako. My heart skipped a beat. Walang ka-effort effort, pero parang nagslow-mo ang lahat. He walked toward me casually, pocketing his phone. And when he stopped in front of me, he didn’t say anything at first. He just stood there, that small, warm smile still on his face.

Maganda siguro ang mommy nya. Gamit ang dalawa kong index finger, inilapat ko ito sa magkabilang sulok ng kanyang bibig and pull it to form a smile. Naka-sad face kasi sya. "Ayan! Naka-smile ka na! Mas lalo kang naging pretty," sabi ko sa masiglang tono, kaya mas lalo syang ngumiti dahil sa sinabi ko. "Really? I'm pretty?"

He smiled, showing his set of cute dimples on his cheeks. “Hey, Bliss. I’m glad to see you again.”

She's been there before too, sino nga naman ang magiging komportable sa kabilaang pagngiti sa mga taong madalas ay wala namang pakialam sa'yo? You have to smile a lot. Ms. Adamakis used to remind her before. Even when you're tired, not in the mood, or pained, smile! That's disgusting to do, but eventually, she's got used since it's part of her job in the first place. She's there every day to attend to guests in a very friendly way and the first step toward that is to smile at each of them.

My lips quirked upwards in a joyous smile. "Crazy." A deep curve on his lips makes the world stop around me. A smile that brings back a million memories in a split second. The precious dimple that crinkles skips a beat. He has a smile that makes any person feel happy about being alive just a bit more human. After our lunch, we received a message from the doctor that we are scheduled for check-up this 2 PM.

“What do you mean?” “Ngiting hindi umaabot sa mga mata. Ngiting hindi sincere. Get’s mo ba ang ibig kong sabihin?” Tumayo ito nang tuwid bago inubos ang beer sa bote na hawak nito kanina pa at nang maubos iyon, hinarap siya nitong muli at saka hinawakan ang ulo niya na parang bata. “Just tell me when you want me to smile, and I'll make sure to do it for you. I'll be your personal smile machine.” He said before giving her a panty-dropping smile and a wink. “Anyway, ikaw na ang bahala sa batang babae. I’ll double the pay.” Dagdag pa nito bago umalis sa harapan niya at iwan siya nitong nakaawang ang mga labi at namumula ang dalawang pisngi.
