Character: Daphne Aletheia Strauss
Days have passed. Still, there’s no sign of Reina.
Where is she?! I haven’t had sleep since my best friend vanished. I regret being in such a hurry that day. If it weren’t for that stupid family gathering, I would have more time walking with her. If only I was aware of the time, I would have managed my time with her. If only I had my attention on her, she wouldn’t have been left behind. It was so stupid of me to let go of her grip.
It was entirely my fault.
It took me several minutes to realize she disappeared. It was when I saw people headed to a vast crowd behind me. I looked back. Suddenly, I felt alone. Reina was gone. I approached the growing mob thinking she was one of those intrigued people. But when I arrived at that spot, I saw nothing but people looking down at an empty space. It seemed that there was something lying on that space that suddenly vanished. I saw those stunned look on their faces as they look at each other. Though I may be curious as they are, I’m still more concerned on what happened to my best friend.
Where is she?!Where?! I have been asking these since 2 days ago.
I saw her bothered that day. She had been thinking of something serious. Her facial expression showed an intense feeling of hatred. It was as if she was furious at somebody. I felt a deep anger inside her. I should have asked her the reason. I should have been a better friend. Maybe, she ran away due to that intense hatred. Or maybe, she got lost. Or worse, she might have been kidnapped.
I tried hard to remove these negative thoughts from my restless mind. But, I just can’t. I will not be at ease until Reina shows up.
I called her parents. She hadn’t gone home. I called the police. They have seen no sign of her yet. I hate it! I’m her best friend but I can’t do anything. I felt so weak.
I wish nothing bad had happened. I wish I could help you, Reina. I’m sorry.
Now, all I can do is to wait….
