Chapter 5
The ride was slow, doing it to buy more time, Mirabel too wasn't complaining, she wish the ride never to end
"So romantic novels or mystery" Mr Uba asked, for the past minutes they have been getting to know each other,
"The two can be one, but I love romance, most girls do" she answered with a smile, it made Mr Uba smile back, from the rear mirror he can see his daughter sound asleep, nice, for he now feels he is alone with the cute teacher,
"Happy endings or sad ones" she asked, she found herself playing with her bangle, its a character she have when nervous, and no guy have made her do it.
"Hmmm, sort of sad ones" he said and she gasp "hear me out first, happy ending is what everybody wants in life, but at the end we get sadness, cause we all die eventually leaving our love ones, sad stories, makes us prepared for that, and remind us that the world is not a bed of roses and also not our resting place" he concluded unknowingly showing Mirabel a little thing about life
"And besides tragedy last longer than comedy" he said.
"I don't believe you" she said looking at him, and was marvelled npby his looks, its night already but the little gleam of the moon can make her see him
"Tell me one happy ending story you know"
She thought for a while "Safe haven" she said,
"Then tell me a tragedy you know"
"Romeo and Juliet, a walk to remember, me before you" she answered and gasped realizing she just proved his point
"You see, you thought for a while at first, but for tragedy, you answered even before my question landed" he said and giggled
"And I even answered 3" she said knowing she lost, but she is baffled that she is happy to lose to him.
"We are here" she said sadly as she stare out the window looking at her apartment, it was a 3 storey building, she leave on the second floor with her mom.
"Seem so" Mr Uba said with equal sadness.
