Sad story
ONE MISTAKE
"You got 9 over 10, Felicity." I said to my pupil.
She smiled cutely. "It's okay, po, Sir. It's only one mistake lang naman."
I smiled. Umupo ako para magkapantay kaming dalawa.
"You're right, baby. But that one mistake is important, too. It can change your whole life."
She looked at me with eyes full of confusion. "Kahit one mistake lang, po?"
I nodded. "Yes. Do you want me to tell you a story?"

Her eyes widden. "Really?! You're the prince?!"
I nodded.
"Who was the princess? Oh! And who was the other prince?" She asked. Excitement was evident on her face.
D*mn, this kid's really cute. May pinagmanahan.

Felicity was about to open her mouth when someone entered the room.
"Felicity, let's go, baby."
"Mommy! Daddy!"
I stood up as I watch her running towards her mom.
I smiled bitterly as I watched my princess standing beside her prince.
Beside my brother.
"Bye-bye, Sir Tito!"
I smiled at Felicity. They made their way out of my classroom.
My smile faded slowly as I remembered that night. That night... when my princess and my brother did that
