I woke up with a smile on my face. I'm so happy and I don't know how to hide it!

But before anything else, I took a shower bago puntahan sa kabilang room so Damian. Kailangan pa kasi namin pumasok. Hays. Back to school again.

"Where is he?" I asked myself nang maabutan kong malinis na ang guess room and there's no hint of him.

So, I went downstairs. Naabutan ko naman si Nana sa kusina at nagreready ng breakfast.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, hija. Good mood ah?" Nana said. I smiled at naupo na. "Oo nga pala, umalis na ang mommy at daddy mo. May meeting daw kasi sa Tagaytay. Oh, 'wag magtatampo!" Natawa ako dahil kilalang kilala talaga ako ni Nana. Madalas kasi akong magtampo every time na umaalis sila mommy but that was before.

"It's fine, Nana. By the way, nasan po si Damian? Did he left already?" I asked. Napakunot naman ang noo nya.

"Damian?"

"Opo, Nana. Si Damian, my boyfriend. Where is he?" Lalo naman napakunot ang noo nya. What's wrong with her?

"May boyfriend ka na?! Bakit hindi mo sinabi sakin ang bagay na iyan, Meandra?" She asked. Natawa ako dahil ulyanin na ata si Nana though she's not that old.

"Nana, ulyanin ka na po ba? Pinakilala ko na po si Damian sa inyo last night,  remember?" I said, trying to enlighten her.

"Nagbibiro ka ba, hija? Wala kang dinala dito kagabi. Wala ka ring pinakilala sa akin." She said and I just looked at her like she had two heads. What the hell? "Kumain ka na nga at baka gutom lang iyan." Hindi ko na pinansin si Nana at binilisan na lang ang kain.

After that, I went to my unit but I straight ahead into Damian's place but he's not there, either. Pero ang mas lalong nakapagtaka ay walang gamit sa unit nya. How come na wala na? Eh kahapon lang ay punong puno ng gamit ang unit nya.

I went to the reception to ask what happened to Damian's unit.

"Ma'am, matagal na pong vacant ang room sa tabi ng unit nyo." She said.

"Are you kidding me? Eh kahapon lang, dyan pa nakatira ang boyfriend ko! How come na vacant 'yan and where is he?" Hindi ko na maiwasan magtaas ng boses because of what's happening. Hell, where is Damian?

"Imposible po 'yan, ma'am. Almost two months na pong vacant ang room na 'yun." She insisted. Umalis na ako dahil walang kwenta kausap yung babae. Is she kidding me? Two months? Eh two months na simula ng lumipat doon si Damian!

Napailing na lang ako at dumiretso na sa school. Maybe, I can see him there.

"Best!" Lumingon ako with my brow raised. Ang kapal naman pala ng mukha nyang magpakita ulit. "Grabe makatingin! May galit ka ba sakin?"

"What are you talking about? And don't talk to me as if nothing happened." I snapped.

"What do you mean? Is there something happened?" She asked. Napakunot naman ang noo ko. What is happening? "Anyway, you're not with Gabe?" Didn't she asked the same question the last time we met?

"Are you playing with me? Well, hindi ako natutuwa." I said and I was about to leave when she talked.

"Why are you being a bitch? Hindi ka naman ganyan."

"Don't you remember what happened last time?" I looked at me like she was so confused. "Well, let me remind you what happend. Sinabi ko lang naman na alam ko na ang kalokohan nyo ni Gabe and pinakilala ko din sayo ang boyfriend ko, si Damian." I said at tinaasan sya ng kilay.

Mukha namang nagulat pa sya. Tsk. Is she playing fool?

"Who's Damian?"

"Damian, the tranferee. Duh."

"What? There's no transferee here and wala din akong kilalang Damian, Meandra." I just rolled my eyes at umalis na.

Hell. I pretended like I wasn't bothered but what the hell is happening? How come na hindi nya kilala si Damian eh halos landiin nya na nga ito last time. And Nana, she doesn't remember him. Ano ba talagang nangyayari?! And where's Damian?!

The class ended and I didn't see Damian. Wala din naman akong alam na close friend nya kaya wala akong mapagtanungan and with that, I realized na wala akong masyadong alam sa kanya. Even his address, hindi ko alam. All I know is he's Damian Avello, my classmate, neighbor at boyfriend ko sya. I don't know where he lives aside from his condo. I don't know who is his parent. Nawala sa isip ko na itanong. Damn.

I went to my unit with a heavy feeling. Where is he? I have an idea to my mind but I don't want to consider that thought. This can't be true.

"What's this?" I saw a letter on my study table. I opened it and my heart beat started to race.
