Lahat ng Kabanata ng Tragic Voice of Pleasure: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Divorce Being married, as far as I'm concerned, is rewarding. It feels like having your own best friend, a lover, a person who brings you medicine and a glass of water when you are sick, and someone who helps you build your dreams as much as you have for them. It's relaxing. But throughout this journey, I realized it's not always the happiness, the sweet little giggles, the kisses... and everything we thought it would be. Sometimes it's depressing, daunting, and gloomy. This is the type of marriage I'd never expected I will choose to settle in. I deserve better than this."Order in the court!"Ang mainit na sinag ng araw ang sumalubong sa akin. I took a deep breath for the second time as I calmly feel its blazing hotness together with a strong, blustery wind. This is exactly what Miami feels like. I smiled genuinely for the first time after three

SurpriseWhen I felt his warmth again for years living with him, I feel safe. I feel calm. I feel relaxation again. Lahat ng iniisip at kasalukuyang tumatakbo sa utak ko no'n, nawala. It's like he has this powers to erase all those negativities. That's why I fell for him.Naputol ang pagpapahinga ko sa braso niya nang narinig ang malalim na boses ng doktor. Sabay-sabay kaming tatlo na napalingon sa kanya. Nagtaka ako dahil iba ang doktor na 'to sa doktor kanina pero hindi ko na 'yon pinuna at hinayaan siyang magsalita."Mr. and Mrs. Nevarez, you're Fiona's parents, right?" tanong niya dahilan kung bakit mabilis akong tumango."Yes, doc.

I forced myself to smile to erase the heaviness I am slowly starting to feel.Binaba ko ang tingin ko habang suot pa rin ang isang ngiti. "By the way, kailan ka babalik ng Pilipinas?"Hindi agad nawala ang ganoong tingin niya sa akin. It's becoming extremely awkward. I was about to tell her how awkward her stare was when she turned her eyes away and took a deep breath. Maliit siyang ngumiti habang nasa labas ang tingin. Nagsimula na ako sa pagkain habang pinapakinggan ang sagot niya."Don't know, but my tourist visa is about to expire in a week

Library"Giovanna!"Hindi ko pinansin ang galit na boses ni Nova at patuloy na kumain. Sabay silang napatampal sa noo ni Ella. Nahihiya nilang pinabalik-balik ang tingin sa akin at sa mga taong nanonood sa akin.Damn it. Masama na bang kumain ngayon?"V-van, can you please calm down? H-hindi ka naman namin aagawan," mahinhing bulong ni Ella sa akin.Nilingon ko siya at tumigil sa pagnguya. Puno pa rin ang bibig ko ng pagkain. Napangiti siya, siguro nag-aakalang susundin ko siya, pero mas lalo kong nilakasan ang pagkain ko sa harap niya ilang segundo pagkatapos ng mahabang pagtititigan namin. Narinig ko ang mahinang pagmumura ni Nova sa harap namin pero nginitia

DateThe little group dinner went just fine. I'm glad that these two girls with us are bubbly and look so friendly. Sila lagi ang nag-iinitiate ng usapan. Sumasali kaming tatlo minsan sa kanilang lahat pero sa aming limang babae, ako na yata ang pinaka tahimik sa kanila. I just feel like someone's watching me. Well, someone's indeed watching me. At hindi man lang siya naaasiwa!I fixed my tied hair. We're here inside the bar's huge bathroom. Minutes from now, I would finally be able to go home and rest. Isang oras na lang din ay roll call na.Well, siguro naman ay mabilis lang ang gagawing pagpili ng mga lalaking 'yon. I found out that three of them share the same school as ours. Unfortunately, that guy who keeps on staring at me is one of them. 'Yong dalawang babae nama
