"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 11 I 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

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 13 Malakas 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 14 Akala 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
