"Mom, I'm here." I shouted while taking off my shoes but I received no response. Kakagaling ko lang ng school. "Hey mom! Where are you? I'm home." Still no response so I went to the kitchen. Wala siya doon. Usually she's waiting for me, and greets me with a kiss on my cheeks.

I went upstairs still looking for her. Our house is quite big so I'm having a hard time finding her. "Mom?" nag punta ako sa garden, her favorite place but she's not there.

"Mom, where are you?!" I shouted again.

Maybe she's sleeping, so I went to her room. While I'm on my way, bigla ako nakaramdam ng kaba I don't know why.

"Mom? Are you sleeping?" I said. Nandito na ako ngayon sa tapat ng kwarto nya at hindi pa rin siya sumasagot. "Mom nandyan ka ba?" she's still not answering.

Lalo lumala ang nararamdaman kong kaba ng hawakan ko na ang doorknob ng kwarto nya. Shit shit it was locked and knowing her hindi sya nag la-lock ng pinto. I'm starting to worry, call me OA but this feeling is very unusual.

"Mom hey! I'm home." I knocked a little bit loud but still she's not responding. "Mommy bakit po naka lock?" I said while knocking, mas malakas na ngayon.

After a minute I decided to get the keys. I ran as fast as I could. When I get back in front of her room, my hands are now shaking. "Mom! Please answer me." I said in a worrying tone while placing the key on, my hands still shaking.

When I finally unlocked the door, I slowly opened it and walked inside. As my eyes laid at the most important person in my life, nabitawan ko ang dala kong susi.

"MOOOOOOMMMMMMMYYY!"
