I saw her cluching her chest and crying for help because of the pain that she's been going through. I was there staring at her with tears flowing down my face like a heavy rain, with my hands shaking and not moving an inch where i was standing and not knowing what needs to be done. My mind was completely blank and i can feel my heart not functioning well that it hurts everytime i breathe.

Darkness .. Silence ! Everything just paused for a while then suddenly i heard a lot of screaming and people crying. I heard them calling out her name, i guess. But i was there looking at them with a blank face just watching and observing what's been happening, then everything went black.

What happened?

As i woke up, i chose not to open my eyes. I'm afraid and nervous about something that I don't know. So, i paused for a while and let my sense of hearing take me to what's really going on. It led me to the moment where everyone is still crying. I still chose to act like I'm still asleep and listened to the voices around me. I can hear someone talking, she's asking them to be strong and the other keeps on sobbing. I don't undestand. What's the matter? Then i remembered her that's when i decided to slowly open my eyes and searched for that one person i wanted to see at that very moment. I looked around, opened my mouth and uttered her name in a husky low voice ..

" Flinx? "

I waited for her response but i heard nothing. I thought my voice was too low so i called for her again, this time with a loud voice ..

" Flinx? "

Everybody stared at me. I stopped for a while and tried to sew what's been happening but i can't remember all the details. All i could remember is I had this strange nightmare that I want to forget.

As I searched the room, i noticed that some of my relatives and her relatives are here, even our friends were here. I smiled at them and they just stared back at me with their teary eyes. I wondered ..

~ They're all here but where on earth is Flinx? Why is she not here? ~

Then I asked,

" Where the hell am i? Does she know I'm here? Could someone do me a favor and kindly look for Flinx? Please! Thanks! "

But no one dared to move and answer,

" What the! Are you all deaf or what? What is going on here? "

My heart was beating so fast. I'm mad, afraid and nervous at the same time that I'm starting to lose my patience.

" This is not funny anymore. Quit it! "

Then someone entered the room, I looked at its direction and finally saw my mom. Wait! Her eyes, I stared at her while she walks towards me and I can tell she's been crying too.

" Ma? Were you crying also? Why? What happened? Is Flinx crying too? Where is she? Please ma. It's getting uncomfortable here. "

Mom stood beside me quitely. She grabbed my hand and sat down not saying anything.

" Ma, I saw her in my dream. No! might as well call it a nightmare. "

Then i narrated to them all the things that I could still remember.

" Ma, I need to see her. I need to know if she's okay.. "

But mom just smiled at me and said,

" You'll get to see her tomorrow but for now get some sleep and take a rest. "

Then she cried again, they cried again. Weird eh? But I felt something heavy inside me. When mom hugged me tightly i began crying also. Without knowing the exact reason why everyone's been so sad I cried and shared my sadness with them. The feeling of emptiness. It seems like there is really something wrong i just can't tell what it is. Maybe it's because of that damn nightmare! I cried my heart out till I fell asleep. My room was flooded with tears that night. And as I gently close my eyes to take some rest i whispered to myself,

" Oh Flinx I wish it's tomorrow already. I can't wait to see you. I'm gonna mess up with her. Haha How I miss you Flinx. If you only knew."
