I am dreaming about our wedding. Me as a groom , and Ilume as the beautiful bride that I ever see. She was too close to me . I was about to reach out for her hand when suddenly , a very loud noise woke up my senses.

Agad akong napabangon at nilibot ang tingin . My phone kept on ringing , kukunin ko na sana ito ng bigla naman nawala ang tawag .

Binuksan ko muna ang lampshade sa side table ng kama ng mapansin ako . Shit. Wala si Ilume sa tabi ko !

Agad akong tumayo at lumabas ng kwarto. I checked the kitchen first , madalas kasing nagiging ng madaling araw si Ilume para kumain . But hell , she's not there ! Nilibot ko na ang buong bahay pero hindi ko siya nakita . Fuck !

Alarmed. A lot of creepy and scary scene running on my mind . Nag-umpisa na akong magpanic . Kinuha ko ang phone ko and saw a lot of missed calls from Decimo . Bakit tatawag ito ng ganito kaaga?

I looked at the time. Alas dos palang ng madaling araw . And yet , Ilume is not here. Where the hell she goes? She's seven months pregnant for Pete's sake !

I called her number. Hoping that she'll answer my call . But my hope faded when I heard her phone rang under our pillow. What hell !? Hindi siya nagdala ng telepono?

Lalo akong nakaramdam ng kaba. I called her friends instead. Pero iisa lang ang sagot nila. They don't know where she is. Tinawagan ko ang kapatid niyang si Aira pero hindi nasagot . Kahit si Dio ay ganon din kaya naman naisipan ko nalang pumunta sa condo nila.

Nang nasa tapat na ako ng pintuan ng condo nila tumawag ulit ako kay Dio. Laking pasasalamat ko ng sagutin niya at pagbuksan ng pinto .

Pero bigo pa rin ako . Wala si Ilume dito . I told Dio and Aira what's happening , kaya naman naalarma din si Aira. Tumulong sila sa paghahanap . Tinawagan ang dapat tawagan pero halos isang oras na ang lumipas ay bigo pa rin kami .

Kaya naman nagdesisyon kaming lumibot na sa siyudad. Hiwalay kami ng paghahanap , kahit si Carly ay tutulong din daw .

Una kong pinuntahan ang mga lugar na pinupuntahan namin ni Ilume kapag nagigising siya ng madaling araw at may gustong kainin , pero sa lahat ng pinuntahan ko wala siya.

Lalo pa akong nag-aalala . And then , a person came into my mind. Natawagan ko na si Shawn pero siya hindi pa . I have a lot of missed calls from him , bakit ngayon ko lang siya naalala .

I dialed Decimo's number and called it. Nakatatlong tawag pa ako bago niya ito sagutin .

"Dude , I need your help . Ilu—"

"She's missing."

"Yes. Do you—"

"She's here on Danica's place." I sigh in relief . Thank God she's safe ! "I'm still sleepy , just go here okay? She's fine."

It's already six in the morning when I arrived on Danica's house. Tired and sleepy . But my senses are still awake . I want to see Ilume , I want to stay beside her  . I want to make sure that she's safe.

I knocked three times before Danica opened the door for me. Her hair are wet . Her face were clean. Parang kakaligo lang siya .

"I'm sorry , nakaistorbo yata ako" I apologized to her. She gave me her sweet smile then hugged me.

"It's okay . Kagigising ko lang naman . Come in."

"Where is she?"

"On Zahra's room"
