Kabanata 10
"Few people knew what my true name was. I'm not hiding it, but I'm also not publicizing it. I come from a renowned Cebu family, lived in a Beverly Hills-style subdivision, and believed my life might be one of those they dubbed paradise, but it isn't."
He constantly shake his lack-of-ice milktea as he talks about his life. I insisted him not to talk about it, because if I were in his place, I'd be very uncomfortable to talk about my life on some stranger I just met months ago. But he was persistent, he just talked. I had no choice but to listen and keep it a secret, if he wanted it to be one.
"Dahil galing sa isang classical musician ang pamilya, kailangan kong sundan kung ano man ang sinimulan nila. I continued it as I studied in MMIS, with my brother who was free as a bird from my parents' demands, which I envied the most. But I love my parents, I love my brother.I know they simply wanted me to be the next them, just like my brother showed that he could thrive

Kabanata 11I decided to avoid him. For a while.Dumating ang lunes, araw na simula noon pang Sabado ko pa pinapanalangin na hindi sana dadating.Nakauwi kami ng malinaw ni Eileer, and since I am such a great pretender, our day went smooth. But the truth is, I cannot stand still. It felt like something was missing in me after he told me his story. And the last thing he said… putangina, minsan ayoko na lang mag-isip.“Pryce?”Napukaw ako ng isang tawag na nagmula pala kay Adrian. I immediately put back my notebook beneath my table and intentionally cough as if letting something inside my throat out. Hinarap ko ng maayos si Adrian at pilit na nangiti.He walked closer and I noticed he brought a purple notebook with him. It’s looks like an attendance. Baka may meeting ulit ang committee. I was about to ask him what’s up when a scre
Silence Author's Note
Hello! This is HecateAstraea, author of Silence. I just want you to know that I am taking little long break as my tremors of my left hand came back and I have to take medication again. My health has deteriorated a little, the reason why I stopped updating for awhile, as per the Doctor's request. I hated updating when I am sick since my stories would probably go downwards. 5 chapters will be uploaded at the end of the month, and this book should be finished before the second week of August. After that, I'll be uploading another story so stay tuned! I hope you all understand. I'll be back really soonest. Thank you for waiting patiently!

Kabanata 12“Eileer,” I called after a few minutes of being quite. I sighed.“8.”I stopped fidgeting my fingers.“8 sighs. Isa sa room, lima sa sasakyan, dalawa dito sa bahay nila Harlett.”Napalingon ako sa kanya, only to see him watching me so closely. A stare you could tell that he doesn’t want to blink or he’ll see nothing but my shadow only.“I’m glad they let us have this time. I am not forcing you in any way, Pryce. But I just wanted to ask… did I somehow made you uncomfortable?” tanong niya.Hindi ko alam kung anong reaksyon ang nagawa ko, pero alam kong ito ang sagot mismo sa tanong ni Eileer nang tumango-tango siya at may mapait na ngiti sa labi.He let his body rest beside the counter, his head at the top of his palm. Suddenly, I hear

Kabanata 13Malakas kong kinatok ang pintuan ng glee club room, nagbabakasakaling nasa loob ang guro, at tama naman ako. Bitbit ang isang libro ng nota, pinagbuksan ako ni Sir Diosdico ng pintuan.Here goes nothing.“Oh, Achacoso? I was about to call you for the recital, but I guess I don’t have to.”I was about to say that I am there for the gig when the dean suddenly popped out of nowhere. Pilit akong napangiti.“Good noon po, Dean.”Hinawi niya si sir Diosdico at hinarap ako ng maayos, may nagmamakaawang ngiti sa mga labi. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.“Achacoso, alam ko naman na busy kayo dahil sa recital niyo, but could you reconsider the gig offer? Jose forgot to mention that you’ll be paid. It was a resort owned by my cousin, and I cannot say no since he knows our school has a good reputatio

Kabanata 14Akala ko dati, madaling magbasa ng emosyon ng ibang tao. Malalaman mo agad ang tao kapag galit ‘pag hindi ito namamansin, o kaya’y medyo agresibo ang pagtrato niya sa ‘yo. Malalaman mo kapag malungkot ‘yung tao, kapag hindi tama ang ngiti nito. Malalaman mo kapag masaya ang tao sa paraaan ng pananalita nito.Actually, madali naman talaga, lalo na kapag ang sarili mong naramdaman na ang usapan.But what I felt right now was beyond unfathomable.“Nay, dalawang kwek-kwek, tatlong isaw, tapos dalawang buko juice, nga po.”Nakita kong may maliit na ngiting sinusupil ang tindera. “Jowa mo ba, ‘nak?”Both Eileer and I got tongue tied about what she said. Unti-unti akong umiling habang si Eileer ay malakas na natawa.“Naku, nay, hindi po. Close friend lang, ka-banda ko po.&rd

Trigger Warning: This story contains toxic escapisms, suicide, self-harm and heavy drama. Read at your own risk.My plants died. I stopped watering them.“Time of death, 7:31 PM.”Wails from the relatives rang the whole ED. One of them even shook me hard that I almost stumbled and drop myself, mabuti na lang at napigilan ni Tripp. I gripped on Tripp’s arms.“May anak siyang dalawa… Doc, baka naman pwede pa,” pakiusap ng nanay ng pasyente. Diretso ko itong tinignan samata at umiling. She cried more, kneeling down in front of the bed. My gripped on Tripp’s arms tightened more.I felt bad because I didn’t get to save another life again, but I felt more bad when I cannot feel their agony.“Break ka muna, hmm? Ako na mag-aasikaso dito.

"Hoy, tangina! Bilisan mo riyan at baka mahabol na tayo ng SSG! Makakaharap na naman natin 'yung balahurang manyak na iyon!"Napabilis ang takbo ko sa sinabi ni Osher. Puta, oo nga pala. Malapit ko na kalimutan na ang balahurang manyak pala ang OIC ngayon! Pinagtutulak ko ang mga estudyante na inosenteng naglalakad sa harapan namin. Ba't ba kasi tanghaling tapat ang napili ng SSG na habulin kami? Pwede naman hapon? Mas mabilis kaya kami hulihinsa hapon! Lasing na kami no'n!"Tangina mo rin Harlett, para kang bakla tumakbo! Pag ikaw nahuli, patay ka sa mama mo, bobo!" sigaw ko nang malampasan ko si Harlett. He laughed evilly and sped his run up. Pinagtitinginan kami ng estudyante na para bang kinokondena na kami sa isipan nila. Bahala sila, nakalibing naman ang pake ko sa ibang tao.And just like the other times, we successfully escaped. Madali lang naman talunin ang bakod ng eskwelahan, eh. I don't know why we spenttoo much for this school, and not h

I blew the last grey smoke from my cigarette and stomped it after it was burnt out."We still have 5 months. Don't stress over it," I said as Osher ranted about the things that needs to getdone for our recital.5 months ahead kami nagre-ready for recital, and we're really pressured since we still have regular class, and we're already on our last year of club. Expected na kaming year ang pinaka-bongga pagdating sa recital. It's our last jam on stage, after all."Sino ba hindi mas-stress, eh andaming pinapagawa ni Sir sa 'tin? Di porket huli na natin ito, ibabagsak niya lahat ng kailangan nating tugtugin? We didn't even played so much for the past years! That shit frustating..."Hindi ko sinagot si Osher at nagpatuloy lang sa pagtingin sa syudad na nasa harapan namin. The rays of the sun were directly pointed to us, pero hindi naman masakit sa mata o sa balat.I glanced at the other car, in front of Harlett's black ford raptor. They called us,
