(The video.. imagine that's Pete singing along with his husband Perth)

4 years later"NOOO.. PERTH.. DON'T LEAVE MEE!" The ringing of his phone woke Pete wide awake from his nightmare, he sat up, wiping his tears and picked up his phone only to see that Bass is calling early in the morning and with his sleepy voice he picked up the phone with a sob. 

"Hello.. Bass what do you want..?"

"Pete.. Are you awake already? Why Pete.. Did you had the same dreams again? It's been 4 years since Perth's death... You have to forget what has happened and move on with your life. You are still 25 years old! Still young... You can't keep on living like this..." 

When Pete didn't reply back, Bass let out a loud sigh "Ok ok.. I'm not gonna nag again in the morning, but for your info, I'm on my way to your house to pick you up and head to work with you cuz today you got a new worker for interview."

Pete turned his phone to speaker mode and got up from his bed with a heavy heart while searching for his clothes

"Ok Bass, now I'm going to take a shower and about 10 minutes I'll wait for you outside... Byeee~!" With that he turned off the speaker and rushed to the bathroom. About 15 mins, he dressed up and went down the stairs looking around his house and let out a sad smile, holding back his tears.

"Perth.. I'm so lonely without you.... And our house seems like a haunted house, silent without children's laughter and joy, just like what we planned... I'm so sorry babe... I lost our only child... Forgive me Perth." He wiped his tears as he leave the house locking the door. And about 5 mins, Bass arrived, 

"Sorry, sorry I took so long to arrive cuz I got a stomach ache and had to stop by to the nearest public toilet... Come let's go Pete but Hold on hold on.. Pete.. Did you took your breakfast? You looked so thin!"

Bass held both of Pete's shoulders while glancing from top to bottom of Pete's skinny figure. "Don't worry Bass I'm fine.. Come on let's go... We'll be getting late for work." With that, Pete went inside the car and buckle up.

Bass sighed watching Pete entering his car "Pete.. I don't know what to do with you" Bass got to the driver seat and start the car with silently. 

They arrived at the office at about 7.30am. Still early but Pete just walked straight to his office without saying good morning to his receptionist who was standing and waiied at him. 

"Bass.. Why is our boss so angry? Do you know the reasons?" Lemon whispered towards Bass quietly looking at Pete.

With a chuckle, Bass shrugged and smiled "Nahh Lemon don't you worry ok my dear~ Everything is fine and please make us some black coffee and bring some bread or whatever you have at the pantry ok? Make it fast and later bring inside the office"

"Ok Bass I'm on it" with that Lemon rushed to the pantry to make the orders.. Pete slumped on the sofa and lean his head back while closing his eyes calling out for Bass 

"Ai Bass where are my coffeee? I can't work without any caffein in my body" Pete questioned with a straight tone.

"Relax Pete.. I already order Lemon to bring them inside" and not even a minute pass by, Lemon knocked the door and went inside "Boss here's your breakfast... Two cups of black coffee and some raspberry scones. Eat them while it still piping hot" Lemon placed it down in front of Pete.  

While Pete was eating his breakfast, Bass opened his beg and took out a white file indicating of the documents of the new employee. 

"Pete.. This is the file and resume of our new employee.. You better go through it ok while I start my job to inspect our other workers."

Pete didn't say anything but just nodding his head, not even making eye contact. After Bass walked out the office, Pete flipped through the file and to his astonishment, the photo-

-of the new employee is the same as his late husband Perth. Only his hair, height and age were different. Here it says that Ae was his name, his age is 20 years old.. 5 years age gap and his height is 1.7m a little bit shorter than Pete. While his Perth have the same height and age as Pete.. Pete's height is 1.8m.

Still in complete shock at the uncanny resemblance of his late Husband, he cried out "OH MY GOD..! It can't be.. N-Nooo!"

Closing the file, Pete got up and looked out the window while saying some prayers, glancing at the file he said "OH GOD.. GIVE ME SOME STRENGTH FOR ME TO CONTINUE WITH MY LIFE...AMEN"
