Wherever You Are

Y/n's POV:

We arrived back at home at 10 pm after having dinner at a known restaurant, and now Sana was all sleepy. She needs to sleep because her flight is at 6 am. It's really early and she doesn't want to be late. She'll be meeting with Momo and Mina over there. My heart still feels heavy about the though that she's already leaving, but it was lessened because of the moments that happened earlier that day. However, I'm still getting ready for tomorrow. We both lain down on the bed and just relaxed. Sana used my arm as her pillow, then she slung her arm over my chest.

Sana groaned and said, "I have to wake up early tomorrow," then she clicked her tongue and added, "I still have to pack my things." I chuckled and said, "You don't have to worry about that. I already told a maid to do it, and it's already done," making her sigh in relief and say, "Thank you, Y/n. Now I can sleep for an extra hour." After that, she hugged me really tight and said goodnight, then I did the same for her. I wanted to stay up all night with her. Spend it with a bottle of fine liquor. Just me and her at the balcony under the bright full moon, but I guess it won't happen tonight or anytime soon.

Without realizing it, I slowly drifted to a deep sleep and time went by ever so quickly. Sana's alarm went off and the two of us slowly got off of the bed. We were both really slow to move because we weren't a bit excited about what's about to happen later on. However, we found ourselves ready to go, and soon, we left the room and headed to the room where Sana's mom, Hana, stayed. "I at least have to say goodbye to her now, too," Sana said, then she quietly entered the room without me. I suppose she wanted to take that moment on her own. She would be able to properly say goodbye now.

Sana's POV:

I entered the room quietly and without Y/n. I wanted to do this on my own. Mom was still sound asleep when I slowly approached her. I stood by the bed and looked at her for a few seconds. In those few seconds, I imagined living a good life with her. A life where we were complete and they actually treated me like their daughter. I'm not mad at them for treating me like that in the past, but no person would ever forget such a past. In those few seconds, I also let out tears of longing. The longing for a parent. The love of a mother and a father that I myself unintentionally threw away.

Should I wake her up?

I guess I should.

I leaned in closer to her and when I was about to touch her shoulder, she opened her eyes and saw me standing over her. "Sana..." she muttered, then I immediately wiped away my tears and smiled. "Hana, I-I'm about to leave," I said, then she quickly sat up and asked, "As in, right now??" then I chuckled and said, "Yes. My flight is just in an hour." She sighed, seemingly disappointed. "I totally forgot. I was planning on going out with you today. I don't know, I just feel closer to you ever since you asked about my daughter's father. Also, I want to know about Sana. You mentioned that you will tell me about her."

I was in complete shock when she wanted to know about Sana- or me, rather. Should I tell her? She might not believe me. Last time, she was so frustrated about me because I left them here in Japan, so... I think it's best if I don't tell her just yet. "Oh. Yeah," I muttered, then I smiled and said, "Of course I'll tell you about her. She's grown to be a very confident woman. She often talks about her parents. She always talks about missing you, but she was afraid to come back. She always cried every night, praying that you had forgiven her. She prayed every night, wishing that you could accept her for who she wants to be. She became a better person."

My mom was silent for a few seconds, staring at me, then a smile slowly showed on her lips. "Really? Had my Sana really grown? Please tell her to come home. That night, when you came to talk to me, I realized something..." she said, then my eyes glowed, hoping that she realized something good. "I realized that I've been a bad mother. I should've supported her passion. I should've been the one who wished her success... but in the end my husband and I were the cause of everything that's wrong in our lives," she added. I tried my best to stop my tears from falling, and I can tell that she was also doing the same.
