At 2am Klein is still awake watching Star sleeping.

Klein suddenly recalls the plane crash. He realized how lucky he is. Or how lucky he and Star are for surviving the most tragic history of aviation.

He held Star's right hand and he noticed how pretty and thin her fingers are.

[You should not be here. You should be living comfortably the way you used to be. I'm sorry for not looking for a way to return you in your family right away.]

Star has a sound sleep. She's sleeping well.

[Sorry, for not telling I already know who you are a long time ago. I believe what had happen is a way for us to meet. We met because of our eagerness to see the Eiffel Tower. I know that we can't be here forever, soon you'll regain your memory and you wanna leave here right away. But before you leave, I hope you'll feel the same for me. I hope a space in your heart because you already have a space in my heart.]

The rain is still heavy and falling branches or twigs or leaves are obvious. However, Klein is unbothered as he is staring at Star.

[Please tell me when you already get back your memories so that I could help you whatever your decision is. Either you want to go home or stay, I will always be here for you. I will protect you. As I protect you please keep being the star who lights up my world.]

At 4 am Klein is still awake. Checking Star's temperature and making sure he is doing something to make her feel better.

At 5:30 am Star is still sleeping. Klein is still awake and haven't really sleep yet from 1:05 am.

Then Star opened her eyes slowly. Klein  is seated beside her obviously not have a good sleep yet.

Star closed her eyes. She hoped that Klein will also close his eyes upon seeing her still sleeping, but Star is wrong. Klein can't sleep but keep on monitoring her like a loving and the most caring nurse.

Star then decided to open her eyes and let Klein know that she's awake.

"Kuya!"

"Are you feeling better now?"

Star nodded her head and tried to sit but Klein told her to lie down yet.

"Still raining?" Star asked.

Klein nodded his head.

"Kuya, you may sleep now. I know you haven't sleep yet."

"It's okay Star. Wait for me and I'll bring  milk for you."

"Kuya, don't over think about me. I'll be okay," Star said and smiled trying to make Klein smile.

Klein smiled for a second and proceeded to prepare Star's milk.

Klein is making himself strong. He is praying that God will help him and Star.

"Drink this."

"Thank you Kuya."

Star is happy that she's feeling better.

After another day, storm signal no.4 turned to 1, the rain had turn to light from heavy.

Star is feeling okay after the typhoon, she can already stand and manage to do what she usually do.

Klein finally sleep at the sofa and could sleep without so much worries.

In the morning, Star prepared their breakfast. She did not see Klein on the sofa so she concluded that Klein might be tired and still sleeping at the other room.

Star does not know that Klein woke up very early and visited the acasia tree.

Klein is happy to see that the tree is still there. He happily engraved ❤ between their engraved name with Star.
