Alter The Ending

Masamang kalabanin ang tadhana.

When I stepped inside that horrifying machine, I was aware of the high possibility that I might not make it back alive. I was aware of the dangers of traveling through time. Bakit ko parin ginawa?

Because I believe in happy endings.

"And that's how everything started." Said mom. I looked at her as she caresses my hair. The bruises on her face and arm still distracts me. I can't believe that she ended up with a good for nothing guy.

"Mom, I swear to God that I'm gonna get us out of this place." I promised her. She gave me a sweet smile, the one that never fails to calm my heart. A tear fell from her right eye. Mom's left eye was blinded three years ago because of my step father. That's why only her right eye can cry.

"Go to bed. Hindi ka tatangkad kung magpupuyat ka." Said mom. I gave her a kiss on the forehead before I stood up and went outside of her room.

It breaks my heart to see her like that. Kung may kapangyarihan lang sana ako I'd travel through time kung saan ang totoong dad ko and my mom were still together. If I'd be given a chance to do that, gagawin ko ang lahat para hindi sila magkahiwalay. So that I will never ever see my mom cry again.

That's why I made up my mind. I will rewrite the past. I will save my mother and give her the happy ending she deserve. Babaguhin ko ang nakaraan kahit agawin man nito sa akin ang kinabukasan.
