DENVER sat down at Sandra's bed. He can't find her around the house. He rest for a while then he get back on his feet and leave the room. As he step outside the house it is already dark. Kinalma niya ang sarili niya at muling pumasok sa kanilang bahay.
"I'm sure she just went to something important. She'll be back, of course. She'll be home."
After he calmed himself, he went to the kitchen and decided to prepare something to eat. He prepared steak and vegetables salad. He decided to stay up until midnight.
Inabala niya ang sarili sa panonood ng mga movies at documentary. He almost sleep then he realized it is already 2 o'clock.
'Why isn't she home yet? Where did she go? What did take her too long?'
He tried to call her. For the first time he will call her, in this situation. It make him realize how does Sandra feel about waiting for him until late in the evening. It makes him anxious because of knowing nothing.
'Now that I came to realize this things, how can I sit here and do nothing. Do you know how sorry I am? I can't defend myself anymore.'
Hanggang sa sumikat ang araw at mulat na mulat pa rin ang mga mata ni Denver. Hindi na maganda ang kutob niya kaya siya nagtungo sa bahay ni Cali. Sakto naman na kararating lang nito mula sa Lanim.
"Na-miss mo ako agad? Teka, bakit mukha kang haggard. Ang aga-aga pa lang."
Denver stepped back as something comes in his mind.
Sigurado na siya sa desisyon niya. Ang kailangan na lang niyang gawin ngayon ay hanapin si Sandra. Nagtungo siya sa dating bahay ni Sandra. He is nervous and excited at the same time. He can't help but to clench his fist and smile. He stepped on the gas and drive fastly.
When he reached his destination, Sandra's own house, the light is not on and then he realized that Sandra's car is park on their house.
"Gosh, what?"
He chuckled and calm himself. Sumakay siyang muli sa kaniyang kotse at bumalik sa bahay nila. He tried to look around the neighborhood but he can't see Sandra anywhere. He only saw his neighbor gossiping on the side of the road. He just decided to go home and to contact Sandra's secretary on her boutique.
"Yes, who is this?" Ask Ms. Secretary.
"Is this Mrs. Ybarra's secretary? I am Denver Ybarra. I just wanna ask if Sandra's at work?"
Saglit na natahimik ang nasa kabilang linya.
"Po? On leave po si Ma'am Sandra simula noong sugurin siya ng sinasabing kabit ninyo."
Denver sighed. "So? Is Sandra at work?"
He heard a sarcastic laugh over the phone.
"Mr. Ybarra, hindi pumapasok ng opisina si Ma'am Sandra. She stays at home sketching at ipinapasa lang niya ang mga iyon through e-mail. We even report and have a meeting through online. Malamang ay wala siya sa opisina."
"I see. That's all. Have a good day."
Mahina ang naging buntong-hininga ni Denver saka siya nagtungo sa kuwarto ng kaniyang asawa. Nang buksan niya ang pinto ay bumungad sa kaniya ang pamilyar na amoy.
He took a step that lead him into his wife's bed. He caress the white matress and he sat on the bed. He look around and realized it is not the typical master bedroom of a couple, a married couple.
"I can see," he murmured. "I can clearly see that I lacked to Sandra."
Mayamaya pa ay tumunog ang kaniyang telepono.
'What happened?' Cali asked over the phone.
"Well, wait a minute."
'What do you mean?'
