How to Build a Stairway to Heaven?

1st Step: The Foundation

"Tak, Tak, Tak..."

An overwhelming mysterious sound wrapping the whole neighborhood in the middle of the night.

A sorrowful rhythm with a touch of hope, the sound of a hammer of a young man who wishes to see his old friend. Every stroke attached a promise, a dream and regrets.

"Ano ginagawa mo nak?"My mother asks.

"Wala po ma, gumagawa lang po ako ng hagdan patungong langit", My reply.. My mother started to chuckle.

"Gusto ko makita si Sienna", and her eyes turned to weep, a tear of sympathy for her son who lost his loving friend.

"I'm sorry", My mother cries and hugs me.

Tears begin to fall down on my cheeks and the beginning of an awkward silence.

*Flashbacks* ~My life is a monotone, I live the way I designed, everything is black and white until I meet you~

"~Ang bawat piyesa na bumubuo sayo, ang bawat piyesang nawa'y mapasakin, habang bu-" As I sang with a low volume a wild ball appeared out of nowhere and hit my face. I'm used to it so I'm fine. I know where it came from.

"Uy Bimby, sorry di ko sinasadiya'' a sarcastic apology and she begins to laugh, she's the school bully Eliza the gorilla.

Bimby is not my name, It's just her nickname for me. The reason? She says I act like a retard, that's why..

"Hoy Eliza, Ano ginagawa mo kay Bimby?". Her underlings added, a troop of gorillas flocking around me.

I'm sorry for not being able to withstand conversation. I want to do it, but I just don't know how?. I need a tactical retreat, I need to get out of this place so I run away and keep saying sorry even though it is not my mistake.

I'm scared, I'm scared. I don't know what to do and I randomly run around the campus. Due to fright I didn't notice that my feet brought me to the rooftop.

"~Fill my heart with song and let me sing forevermore---" (Fly me to the moon)

A voice of an angel, did I die?, I pinch myself and it hurts, this is reality. I sat on the floor and continued to listen to heavenly music. Every note calms my uneasiness, The melody cleanses my soul. I didn't notice, I started to hum as if the rhythms were controlling me. I began to sing, and I caught the glimpse of the angel.

The moment our eyes met, my whole life changed. What I saw, What I felt, What I heard, Everything surrounds me... started to fill with sublime colors. There is something on you that is ineffable, your seraphic Identity made the whole world begin to sparkle.

"Who are you?", you asked.

"Tears" I speaketh,

I didn't mean to be rude, didn't mean to pry but my lips suddenly state as if it was automatic. Why there's tears in your eyes? I want to know the reason for that tears.

As I recovered my consciousness I chose to ran away as if nothing happened and this was our first encounter.

- Sienna. -
