Steve's POV
February 14, when Jane, my ex, broke me in public. Grabe ko nasakitan that time and Bem, a stranger to me, never hesitate to comfort me. At first nasuko ko atu ni Bem, I was so stress that time sa work plus nagpakatanga pako to save our relationship with Jane. It happened na mas gipili pa ni Jane iyang ex over me that's why I felt hurt jud. It's been 2 months since ga broke mi, and 1 month na nga wala nagparamdam si Bem. I tried texting and calling her pero iyaha rang e ignore. I even asked our employees in Verona company nga iyang gitrabahoan just to figure out kung unsay nahitabo ni Bem. Yes, I'm the son of the CEO pero wala nako gi tell ni Bem bisan paman among gilibak iyang madam nga akoa ra sab mommy. I was worried kay Bem and gimingaw nakos iyang mga corny jks.
While heading to my mom's office, I saw a flower shop and nakita nako ang sunflower. I remember Bem's trying to point out katung naa mis garden sa menteryo but, -- nevermind dile nako mag overthink. I stop the car ug nisulod kos shop. Akong gihurot ug palit ang sunflowers kay akong e display sakong room. I'm hoping to see Bem again, I think na fall nako niya.
Week passed, again wala ra gihapun koy balita ni Bem. Mura nakog mabuang maghunahuna Kung asa na si Bem karun and unsay sala nako niya para byaan ko.
"Wait, Ms.?"
"Ching po, sir. Bakit po hihi?
" Ikaw tong friend ni bem, right?"
She nodded.
" Where's Bem?"
" Ah, e.. "
" Na unsa si Bem? Is she okay? Asa sya karun? Answer me. "
" Ah sir kuan man gud kanang.. "
" Be straight to the point. I'm losing my patience. ANSWERRRR ME! "
" May sakit po si Bem" takot na sabi nya.
" Nasaan sya ngayon? I need to see her"
" Sir? Hindi nya po gusto'ng ipaalam sainyo"
" Whatt? Bakit daw? Call Bem's phone number now! "
" E, sir .. ano po "
" I will double your salary. Call Bem's phone number now or I will fire you. "
*Kring*kring*
/Chinggg? Bruha./
" He-hello, b-b-bem m ah e "
/Huy, an--/
Gikuha nako ang cp ni ching and,
" This is Steve. Where are you now?"
/O_O Steve? Kinsa ulit?/
" Arg, bem, nag worry ko nimu. Pila ka ka months wala nag reply nako, wala gitubag akong tawag, and even sa social media, imuha pakong gi ignored. Bem?*sob* sakit kaayo. Bisan asa ko nag asked, bisan asa ko nangita nimu, and ikaw, kalimtan rako nimu. Pasensya kabalo kung wala jud koy right mag ingon ani, kinsa ra gud tawn ko pero sala ba daay nakong ma fall ko nimu?! "
*Tottottot*
I can't control my tears. Bahala'g ingnon kog weak nila, importanti na relieved nako mga ¼ .
I need to call a detective to find Bem.
