Freedom Island With You

Never Let Go 23

Klein started to feel bothered after Star mentioned her real name Elish.

He looked like as if someone he has something to say but at the end he will just stare at Star and won't wink his eyes. He felt troubled all of a sudden.

Star noticed him.

"Kuya, do you feel like going home?"

"Klein hates to hear Star asking him about it."

"Kuya, if you want to go home you can..."

"Star, you think I could just go home in a wink of your eye?" he blurted.

"Kuya, why are you that angry?"

"Do you really want me to go?"

"If you want to go, I can't do anything about it," Star answered.

"Am I just nothing to you?" Klein asked.

"No, you're..."

"Alright. I wanted to go home," Klein suddenly changed his decision to test if Star will stop him.

"Could you say it again kuya?"

"I don't want to go home," Klein cannot let Star feel uneasy. He can't just go the way he can't just forget about Star.

"Go home. I wish you to go home," Star then told him.

"Star, if you really mean that, could you at least speak smoothly?"

"Hurry up, tell mom you want to go home."

"Why are you so excited to go home?"

"Kuya, I don't wanna lie anymore, especially to you."

"By chance, do you want to go home now?"

"Kuya, I already know who I am."

Klein doesn't want to believe it.

"Star, can you just lie forever?"

"I wish to, but I can no longer lie to you.

"I need someone who know who I am, because living as if I don't know everything is like playing tricks on you."

"What if I'll say, I knew about it for a long time already?"

"I wish to have someone who understand me."

"Why, do you think I don't undertand you?"

"Not going home is like disregarding you identity. Do not just drop who you are."

"I'll be forgotten soon. I'm sure my things were burnt already. That's the tradition."

"You still have time to go back Kuya."

"How about you? Are you going to go back too?"

"I pity mom. I can't leave her."

"Don't you pity your real mom?"

"I heard I have a little brother now."

"Star!"

"I'm serious. I already knew about it."

"Why do you keep telling me you already regained your memory? Do you know how it feels?"

"How it feels what?"

"You won't understand."

"Kuya, don't you know that staying too long here, will make you miss yourself?"

"It's okay."

Then, mom, came inside the room.

The young girl who usually say Star is here and there just came inside Star's room too. She's lost. She thought it's her mom's room. But then she saw Star.
