I hastened my steps to reach Venedict's school, and upon entering his classroom, I was greeted by emptiness.
Not even his teacher, usually stationed by the door, was present.
Puzzled and concerned, I decided to check other classrooms.
However, each one revealed only a handful of remaining students, leaving me uncertain about what to do, especially considering the persistent unease I'd been feeling since earlier.
"Ms. Sy!, Ms. Sy!!" a voice urgently called from behind.
As I turned, Venedict's teacher hurriedly approached me.
"W-what's wrong, teacher? Where's my son? He's not in the classroom!," I quickly inquired, a hint of worry in my voice.
"Ahm.. Ms. Sy, things happened suddenly, and I didn't expect this turn of events," the teacher replied with a furrowed brow, her expression revealing a mix of concern and uncertainty.
