Kao sluggishly opened his eyes, lying onto something which he doesn't know what it is. He paused for a moment to digest what is happening and where he is at the moment. He slowly stood up. The place is white and foggy. "Mu? Mu?" Kao said when he saw a man standing in between the fog. All he can see is a silhouette of a boy standing far in front of him. He couldn't recognize who it was, but he knows in his heart that it was Earth. Kao approached the man.
As Kao approached the shadow, he can finally vividly see who it is. "Lung!" the man said and brightly smiled, placing his hands behind his back, and acting cute, reenacting how they first met. "Is that really you, Mu?" Kao asked as his tears starts to fall. Earth wept his tears. "Why are you crying, lung? I'm already here!" Earth said as he smiled brightly. Kao couldn't help but wailed. He'd already waited for a long time to see his Mu. Earth tightly hugged Kao. "There! There! Don't cry!" Earth exclaimed patting Kao's sturdy back. "Are you for real? I'm not dreaming, right?" Kao reassured. "Hmmm" Earth said and nodded. "You've reached the latter lung. We will be together again!" Earth added. "Thank you!" Kao exclaimed and tightly hugged Earth
"I love you, Mu" Kao said as his tears kept on falling.
"I love you too, lung" This time, Earth couldn't help but to cry as well.
"Finally, no more saudade" Earth added and chuckled.
"No more saudade" Kao said.
They both placed their foreheads on each other. Looking at each other's eyes, they both smiled with tears falling on their faces.
Now tell me,
How can I forget it?
Nobody answered.
Because there's nothing to be forgotten at the first place.
