the janitor's secret

Not everything we thought was always exactly the way it was. Sometimes we part reality from fairy tale that we expect happy ending,
Sometimes forgot that maybe others story were different from the usual.

Mang Jim is a school janitor. He does his works everyday but not given much attention by anyone except for some who would request for help from time to time.  A typical janitor that no one would think that he is no ordinary man. His presence in the school has a purpose, a mission that no ordinary man could easily accept. He did not go on the normal process of getting his job but someone put him there. His role will make a difference and that is what he works for.
 
One student from our school is a general's daughter-she is the one and only child. And Mang Jim is after the General's daughter, he goes to school every day, not to just clean and stand as the hand man, but a spy for the general's daughter, he and his troops, has planned how to get to the daughter easily and revenge to the General the least way he expects. This General has killed many of his co-troops and their family, and one of those are killed is his daughter, a baby girl. And whenever they plan on having a revenge on him he always got his way out safely and not having a bit of scar on. So now they're one step close to the daughter which they called the "alas", they do it nice and easy.
But as the plan went smoothly, and they get closer and closer to fulfilling their revenge plan, Mang Jim's fatherly heart are also starting to tear apart. The General's daughter don't have at least one friend at school, she is also different from them, and much mor different from his father, and one day, Mang Jim and this girl had a chance to talk, the girl ask for his help on fixing his broken locker, the locker was then fixed, and the girl thank him and left but accidentally slipped a paper from her book. Mang Jim at first didn't care for the paper, so he picked it and was about to throw it on the garbage, until he read the words " to: dad"
The paper that slipped on the girl's book, was her letter to her dad, she wasn't even finish writing it, but those words written are enough to tell Mang Jim a story.
She is not the General's legitimate daughter. But they were as close as any dad and daughter are. The General real daughter has been shot on the day of the General's birthday, that situation has made him loose his mind, and made him the beast he is now. No one ever knew that happen, and the General did not tell anyone too.
So they decided to adopt a girl. And that girl is now his daughter.
Jim now thought that even she is now the General's daughter, she is not the real one they are expecting her to be, and he cannot take it to her conscience of kidnapping and killing an innocent girl that the only fault done loved the man they mostly hate.
And every time the girl sees Mang Jim at school, she always smiles at him, and say her hello.
There was this time that some mean student bullied this girl, and Mang Jim was there, he shooed them away and had a chance to talk to the girl. And he knew by that time how sweet and kind this girl is, she doesn't take anything she has now inside her head which makes her so humble, that instance makes it more hard for Jim to still purse whatever plan they are up to.
Mang Jim, is a member of a leftist group called New Peoples Army, and not anyone from his group knew what he was feeling, and thinking, all they knew was the plan is going perfectly smooth.
After reading and learning this hidden story of this girl, his fatherly love arise on him, his monstrous plan was covered now with guilt, he has to choose good after evil, a plan to reveal the plot of the group to the General, the father of this innocent child, for them to have a plan on how to preserve life.
No member of NPA could escape the group easily and the plot that was known by the family’s suppose to become a victim was made known also to the group. Mang Jim was killed during the violence but the truth the he made effort on correcting the mistake in between was remarkable mark on the family of this innocent girl.
End.
