Chapter 5

        "Happy Endings? I don't believe in such a crap. It only exist in stories but sometimes in stories there is no such thing as happy ending. Stories is made for us to gain hope. To gain faith for our loves. That no matter what happen they will save you from the evil witches or rescue you from the fire breathing dragons. Kiss you to wake up from hundred years of sleep or break the spell that cursed you to become some unidentified creature."

        "Sir do you think there is such things like that?"

        "Well, im just stating some fairytale's scenes." he laughed. "In reality, challenges are always given that you have to overcome. Same as in love, if you really love someone you are oblige no let me rephrase it. If you love someone, you'll do everything for his/her happiness. Even if you have to leave her or break her heart for the sake of her goodness, you'll do it. Love is full of sacrifices." I raised my hand.

        "Yes?"

        "Sir, for all due respect. As what you said, if you love someone you are willing to sacrifice everything even if leaving her is the only thing you have to do. Well sir, that's the most crappy thing I heard." Napa-crossed arms si sir sa sinabi ko.

        "How can you say that?"

        "Well, if you really love that someone why will you leave or break her heart. There is a lot of things you can do to save the both of you from that certain challenges. Those problems are given to test the both of you if you really are strong enough to hold on to each other. If you will only leave her because you gave up, then why did you courted her at the first place?"

        "Well dear, jumping to the conclusion."

        "No sir, that's the reality. Then if that so, don't love someone. Love is full of sacrifices? Then do everything to save the both of you from the tradegy. Giving up is not the solution. It is what weaks do!" ngumisi lang si sir sa akin.

        "Did you already love someone Ms. Baes?" Lumapit siya onti sa akin.

        "N-not yet sir." he laughed.

        "Not yet? Pero kung makapag-react ka parang naka-experience ka na?" the class laughed in unison. Tiningnan ko lang sila.

        "You see Ms. Baes, in love you should be willing to give up something. Even if it cost your life. Did you already sacrifice something for the sake of your love?" nakatingin lang ako sa kanya at napatingin sa iba sabay iling.

        "Then you don't know the true meaning of love."

*Bell rings*

        "That's all for today class. Dismiss!" Isa-isa nang nag-alisan yun mga ka-blockmates ko pero ako naka-tayo pa din mag-isa sa loob ng room.

I was left dumbfounded!

Dahil sa scene na yun nawalan ako nang gana pa para pumasok sa iba kong class so naisipan ko lang na tumambay dito sa may rooftop. This is no ordinary rooftop, may garden kasi dito. They call it "The Hanging Garden". Science clubber's mind are full of out-of-this-world ideas.

But I still thank them for making this. Dito ko nailalabas yung hatreds, fears, angers and doubts ko sa buhay. I felt sorry for the beauty kasi nagiging labasan ko lang siya ng mga sama ng loob. But after that naman inaalagaan ko padin yung mga flowers and plants dito. Medyo napapabayaan na din kasi ito dahil sa na-ayos na yung garden sa may field.
