Third Person POV

It is unexpected for Sasha to still embrace the memory of when she's in a coma state. When she wakes up, the first person she thinks is Clerence, whom she has lost in the dreams a few minutes ago. Apparently, he is in the same hospital as her because she trusts her own instincts the most on what she should believe. Therefore, this drives her towards his ward room with a wheelchair.

When revealing everything towards each other, Sasha mentions her decision of moving back to her hometown, where her family lives. Going back to where she comes from will help her in regaining family love, especially from her mother. However, leaving would mean resigning as a part-timer at the bookstore and also saying goodbye to her all-time driver, Uncle Daniel.

Together with Clerence, she visits the bookstore where she has been working for around 3 years to return the T-shirt. "We'll all miss you here, my girl," says the manager herself, surprisingly in a soft tone unlike her usual self. "You really did change me a lot, Sasha." And this is what she admits, which thereby leading out the girl's bright grin.

"I was just working, Madam Jesslyn. But thank you for the credit," replies Sasha sheepishly while Clerence snorts behind her.

"And you boy," utters Madam Jesslyn when she faces the hooligan she always addresses with opened arms. Her voice sounds a little harsh and this startles the called boy resultantly. "Come here." Knowing that the pair of them are leaving pains Madam Jesslyn the most on her chest. Especially for Sasha. "I will miss you both."

Soon, the pair of them take pictures as well as Instagram stories with their previous colleagues in the shop with the manager's permission. In fact, she even joins the activities, in which for once, she is breaking her own house rule to bid them the best farewell she can manage.

"We will miss you guys too," says Sasha with thousands of affection. But she tries her best to remain cordial to not set the mood down. The tears are fighting their way out of her eye sockets, stinging her poor windows of life. There she turns away from the crowd, waving without looking back. Clerence walks by her side, one of his arms pulling the girl who is sobbing silently to his lap as they finally step out of the shop. Uncle Daniel's cab car comes into view.

"Take care, both of you," says Uncle Daniel with a friendly smile as he finally takes them to the airport. "You two will always be my children. This is my name card, when you have returned, call me. I'll take you around. Free of charge." Sasha reaches out for the name card while Clerence says thank you for a few times.

"We'll definitely call you once we get back, Uncle Daniel," says Sasha firmly as she pays the amount of money she promises. "Thank you so much for your concern, it really means a lot." Uncle Daniel nods with his brightest smile plastered on his wrinkled face. His eyes barely to be seen as his skin folds.

Before leaving them, he opens the car boot cover for the couple to retrieve their luggage. Soon, they finally pick their steps towards the awaiting entrance and he chooses to watch until their figures disappear from sight.

Feeling as if there's still someone watching them from afar, Sasha turns only to see Uncle Daniel who hasn't left yet. Holding back her tears once again, she raises her hand to wave at the cab driver and the driver waves back. His smile looks weary through the glass.

"We'll come back soon, Sash," soothes Clerence with his hand patting her back gently. His mouth nearly brushes on her ear shell when he whispers to her. "I promise," he says, revealing his pinky for her to do the Pinky Promise.

Snickering under her breath, Sasha hooks her pinky finger around Clerence's. Hers is two inch shorter than his, making Clerence snort about the fact but she doesn't seem to notice. "You better fulfill your promise."

"How about we make it as our Bucket List? Not the impossible one," suggests the boy when Sasha looks at him with her eyes narrowed. A warning smile plastered on her face.

"I'm already traumatised by my own Impossible List. Please don't make another one." And there she rejects the offer. Not long after, they are welcomed by the AI before walking pass the glass door, which thereby reminds them about their arrival into the building.

"Here we are," mutters Clerence while patting Sasha's back with sufficient amount of force to wake her up from her random reverie. "Once you have entered that plane, I should probably be back to my rented house. Doc needs me."

"Sure, no problem," says Sasha teasingly as she wiggles her eyebrows. "Have fun gaying by the way."

"Duh!"
