Its been days since he left, and all I can think of is him and things to do to have a good impression to everyone, ang mga kaibigan ko rin ay nag-aalala sa akin, about that someone who knows about me and my location, I do hope they don't have the right one, I took my luggage from under the bed and opened it, kinuha ko ang envelope roon at saka iyon binasa.

"We hereby approved that Shanne Italy Aurelio, our only daughter, will inherit the company and be the chief executive officer of it. And will inherit the properties we have in Nueva Ecija, Laguna, Batangas, Baguio, Italy, Germany, California, Canada, France, South Korea and US. In total, Shanne Italy Aurelio will inherit all the things that us, Simoune Joseph Aurelio and Maureen France Salvador-Aurelio had left upon our sudden deaths. In money total, she'll be inheriting a total of £500 million."

Halos masapo ko na lang ang aking noo, I'm inheriting five hundred million euros! That's why they want the company so bad, since I'm an only child all of these will be mine, I'm a walking bank! Ibinalik ko iyon sa maleta at itinagong mabuti, I closed the luggage and put it back under the bed, naupo ako sa kama at saka nag-isip-isip, ano na nga bang gagawin ko? Ngayon ko lang binasa ang last testament nila mom, I'm still shock of the amount, ang binasa ko lang na testament nila noong nasa Manila ako ay ang tungkol sa ipapamahagi nila, five million pesos ay sa charities and foundations, while two million pesos ay sa orphanages, for kids who have been staying there for as long as they know. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at saka niyakap ang unan sa aking tabi, I heard my tummy rumbled, oh I haven't eaten lunch yet, its three in the afternoon, I don't have any appetite earlier that was really weird and unusual of me, I went downstairs to the kitchen, I passed the billiard area naroon sila at naglalaro, I went straight for the kitchen and opened the fridge, wala akong gaanong nakitang pagkain roon, kinuha ko na lang ang banana milk, isinara ko ang fridge and went to the cabinets, ramen, I want ramen.

"Hmm, hmm, mmm, I want ramen" I hummed.

I went through one by one the cabinets, pero wala talaga akong nahanap, I should just buy I guess, balik ako sa taas at saka dinampot ang wallet at phone ko, I went downstairs.

"Hey, where are you going?"

Napaharap ako kay Marco, I was sipping my banana milk.

"Store, I'm going to buy some ramen, I'm starving"

"Magluluto na lang ako" Warren said.

"No need, I'm really craving for ramen right now, and I don't wanna bother you"

"I'm coming with you" sambit ni Marco.

"No need, I'm going alone, I can handle myself and I'll just bring this little hair spray just in case you know"

Pinakita ko kay Marco ang maliit na hairspray na nakabulsa sa akin, ibinulsa ko iyon kanina bago ako tuluyang bumaba.

"Shanne"

"Marco, just stay here, I can handle myself I'm not a child anymore, and I took taekwondo classes back then"

"Shan--" I cut him off.

"Nagugutom na ako, bye"

I went out of the rest house before he could speak again, I walked the pathway going through the store, humming my way down.

"--I don't see you
You're not in every window I look through
And I don't miss you
You're not in every single thing I do
I don't think we're meant to be
And you are not the missing piece
I won't hear it--"

Tahimik lang akong kumakanta habang naglalakad, I hope I don't see that girl baka tuluyan na akong mairita sa kanya, I went inside the store a different cashier was there, good to see, I went to the ramen, kaagad akong kumuha ng tatlong jjapaghetti, I went to the beverage and took one can of sprite, I went to the counter after, may tatlo pang banana milk sa rest house sa susunod na lang ako bibili, I paid for it and start walking again going to the rest house, I bit my lower lip while walking, I felt like someone's following me, pilit ko iyong tinanggal sa aking isipan but I still looked behind me, there's a black van nearby, and three suspicious men too, I remain calm so they won't suspect a thing, malayo-layo pa ang rest house nila Zeinn, good thing my phone is in front of me, I dialed Marco's number, he picked up with two rings, inilagay ko iyon sa aking tainga.
