Then next month followed without development.

It's already in the second week of February. He's busy with school works and paper works. The end of the school year is fast approaching and he's working harder. He doesn't plan to take any units and subjects for the school year opening and his family became supportive of his decision. The Dean and the Management already knew his plan and submitted his resignation ahead of time. Mr. John Cashmir also made a personal appointment to the Dean for that matter.

Andrew was lying on his bed, in his deep slumber. He didn't hear opening of the doors. Kish run towards his Father. Agad itong sumampa sa Kama ng natutulog na ama. Andrew is lying down. Niyugyog ng anak ang balikat nito but He just let out a groan.

"Daddy koooooooo! Wake up! Alis baby Kish daddy ko, sama Kay mommy ko."

He could hear someone whispers from the background but his daughter's voice and energy demands his full attention.

"Baby, you don't have class. And mommy Thea is not here." despite what his daughter is doing, hinayaan na lamang ito.

He folded his arms under the pillows. He wasn't wearing his shirt dahil sa nakaramdam ito ng alinsangan kagabi. He sleeps with his sleeveless shirt and boxers when alone.

"Daddy ko, mommy ko is waiting for your answer. There she is o. Come on Daddy ko, sama ako Kay Mommy sa work." Hindi nakuntento sa pagyugyog, Kish seated on his back, played like a cowgirl. His body moves and ache when Kish continuously ride his daddy's back. "Yah, tigidig-tigidig!"

"Ahem!"

Napamulat ng mata si Andrew. His room was dark, and so quiet.

"Panaginip lang pala." He murmurs and lay flat on his bed, stares at the dark ceiling.

Hindi niya alam kung anong oras na. Sa dilim, may mumunting liwanag na sumisilip sa kaniyang nakasarang kurtina.

Nakatulogan niya ang pagtingin sa mga larawan at videos ni Thea sa kaniyang Cellphone, kuha mula sa cruise na magkasama sila. Yun siguro ang dahilan kaya napanaginipan niya ito. But it wasn't just a dream. It was one of the beautiful mornings he had, waking up with Thea.

Now, it was all just a memory.

He tried to close his eyes, to sleep and dream more of her. Dahil sa kaniyang panaginip, magkasama sila, masaya. They own that world. They are free, she is free. He can hold her, she stays. She stays by his side.

But the reality keeps pulling him back as his alarm rings.

It's already five in the morning. He's only sleeping a maximum of six hours a day.

After his work at CWI, he drives around the city for hours, hoping he'll find Thea, finding traces. Travel from North To West District, And East to South District. Kulang na Lang, patrol mobile at siren, para na siyang Pulis na nagpapatrolya gabi-gabi.

After minutes of turning off his alarm, he went off the bed. He works out or make a run on a treadmill for thirty minutes Every day, alternately. But today, he made his way to his bathroom directly and strip off his shirt and boxers. He steps in his shower and turn it on.

He closes his eyes as the cold water run down his body.

Ipinatong ni Andrew ang dalaga sa dry tiled sink matapos itong buhatin. She was in her two piece bikini while he wore swimming trunks inside his robe.
