Under the Tree

DELOS SANTOS, AARON JAY LAINEZ, MERYLL ROSE

One day, there was a couple planting a mango tree. They made a promise to wait for each other on the same spot where they planted the mango. The boy said \"Please wait for me, my love. I promise to come back here as soon as the war is over.\" They hugged each other, kissed, and said goodbye.

The war lasted for 50 years. The boy excitedly go to the mango tree. He saw the tree grew very tall. As he look at the tree, he remembered their good old days. And when he look down under the tree, he bursted into tears and fell on his knees. What he saw really broke his heart into pieces. He saw a skeleton under the tree. The skeleton of his love. The girl who waited for him to come back.

The boy took the bones and put it in a box. He wants to confirm if the skeleton really belongs to the woman he loves. After days of waiting, it was confirmed that the skeleton was really the girl he loves. He kept the bones on his home. He made a sacred room for the bones and put their pictures and memories at that room.

The end.
