I woke up and do my morning routines before settling on a fitted grey shirt tucked in a nude high waisted pants that goes with my white shoes. I bid Nana goodbye who was sipping her daily dose of green tea every morning.

I walked out of the house and into our gate, hopping as I made my way out. I slowly opened the gate, preparing my smile for Zaffron but what I saw was the familiar car of Danny.

Bumaba ang salamin sa bintanan ng passenger seat at nakita ko si Michelle na nakangiti sa akin at kumakaway habang si Danny naman ay nakaupo sa driver's seat, umiinom ng kape.

"Hop in, baby girl."

Napalingon ako sa loob, sinusubukang silipin ang loob ng sasakyan.

"Looking for Zaffron?" Michelle asked with a teasing smile.

I blushed crimson but nodded, eyes everywhere but her. I even glanced at the back of the car, hoping I could see Zaffron and his bike.

"He's not coming Zyla, he'll absent today," sabat ni Danny. Napatingin ako sa kaniya na nakasilip sa bintana. "He told Michelle," he explained like I was asking him how he knew even though that's not my intention.

Natikom ako saka tumango-tango bago binuksan ang pinto sa likod ng sasakyan.

I sat at the back before closing the door. Danny started the engine of the car.

I looked outside as I heard a soft song playing in his car. I was just looking at the houses passing onto my eyes as I wonder where is Zaffron. What's the reason he's absent and why he didn't tell me. Bakit kailangan ko pa malaman kay Michelle? Bakit kay Michelle siya nagsasabi? Meron rin naman siyang number ko, 'di ba?

"Zyla, bakit tahimik ka?" tanong ni Michelle habang tinitirintas niya ang buhok ko nang dumating ang recess namin. Wala kasi si Zaffron. Sabi ko naman na kaya ko pero nagpumilit pa rin si Michelle.

Umiling lang ako bago kumagat sa burger na hawak.

"Are you sure? Sabihin mo sakin kung masama ang pakiramdam mo ha?" Tumango lang ako at ipinagpatuloy niya ang ginagawa sa buhok ko.

Actually, hindi ko rin alam. Basta parang gusto ko lang manahimik. Wala akong ganang magsalita. O baka dahil malapit na ang period ko. Siguro ganon kaya nagiging moody ako?

Hindi ko sigurado.

Nang sumunod na araw ay wala ulit si Zaffron. Sila Danny ulit ang sumundo at naghatid sa akin sa bahay. I was worried the whole day, thinking why he was not around and didn't even say something about  why and what happened to him. I asked Michelle if he ever texted her again, but she said he didn't.
