That they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,

Ika-Tatlumpu't Limang Kabanata

WEEKS passed, I did not stop finding Yheacka. I asked her neighbors, even his brother in jail where she is, but they also do not have any idea.

I tried to contact her, but she's out of reach. She does not deactivate on her social media account, but I think she is not opening it anymore. Does Yheacka really leave me? But why?

I cannot set aside my thought that she leave me like before. No explanations, no clue, and such. I'm getting crazy right now thinking where she is.

I even neglected my studies for once just to find her. My parents and grandmother scold me because of that. They are not happy with what I am doing.

It's been three weeks since I found out about Yheacka. I did not stop finding her. I guess there are no days that have passed that I am not seeking for her. Call me insane, but I badly want to know why she leaves again.

Yheacka even drops out again in school. She even resigns on the restaurant she's working. I thought that our relationship is fine, but what the heck just happened? I don't have any idea! I can't imagine if I have flaws or negligence in her

Am I a bad boyfriend? Does my effort for her is not enough? Is she doing fine? These are just some questions that circling in my mind for the past weeks.

"Bro, mukhang na-ghost ka," sambit ni Keist sa akin sabay subo ng chips sa kaniyang bibig.

"Huwag mong tulad sa iyo si Yheacka na ghoster talaga," pasaring naman ni Stair.

Napailing na lamang ako sa mga pinagsasabi nilang dalawa. Nandito kami ngayon sa terrace namin at kumakain. Nagulat na lang ako kanina na sumusugod ang dalawang loko na ito rito sa bahay. Wala man lang pasabi.

Hindi nila sinama ang mga kaibigan naming babae dahil gusto raw nila ng boys talk. Ang dami nilang nalalaman.

"Dati lang akong ghoster! Nagbago na ako," sabi pa ni Keist.

Ngumisi si Stair. "Tapos ikaw naman ang iniwanan ngayon?"

Hindi ko alam kung pumunta ba sila rito upang damayan ako o mag-asaran lang sa harapan ko. Kahit kailan talaga silang dalawa. Hindi mo maaalis ang pag-iinisan.

"Teka nga! Hindi naman ako ang topic dito eh," Keist complained and look at me.

"Tama naman si Stair, Keist. Hindi mo kagaya si Yheacka," may halong pang-aasar na aking sambit.

"Nakakasakit na kayo ng damdamin!"

Hinawakan ni Keist ang kaniyang dibdib at umaktong nasasaktan siya. Binato namin siya ng plastic ng chichirya at tinawanan.
