Maria didn't know why but ever since she stepped out of that room and went to the venue, she got that urge to look around the place, looking and searching for something or someone that she didn't know either. She became even more restless and nervous. She had already accepted her situation and given up on ditching this event but she was feeling extremely agitated for another reason. The hole in her heart became even bigger and deeper. She had a feeling that something was missing- that someone was missing, but no matter how she tried to think it through, she couldn't determine what it was or who it was. It was seriously making her frustrated and not having someone to whom she could talk regarding that was making her even more frustrated.
"Maria, is there any problem?"
Maria heard her father whisper close to her ear, giving her a worried look.
