Morning at the international airport. Tuan Mukesh, Ibu Poppy, Evan, Alvin and Jennie were seen accompanying Gio and Gabriel to Aussie.

"Take good care of yourselves, son. Mother will miss you very much." Poppy said, talking to her two sons.

"We will also miss you very much. Come visit sometime." Gabriel said.

"Yes, Mother will definitely visit you. Yes dad." Poppy said, turning to her husband.

"Yes, take care of your brother Gio." Mr. Mukesh patted Gio's shoulder.

"Sure dad." Gio replied firmly.

Evan approached Gabriel, then hugged him tightly. "Take good care of yourself there. Don't forget to let me know, okay?" Evan rubbed Gabriel's back affectionately.

"Yes." Gabriel nodded his head in Evan's embrace.

Evan let go of the hug, then looked at Gio seriously. "Take care of Gabriel as well as you can. I believe you are able to look after him and protect him. Evan said. If there's anything, let me know, I'll come straight to you guys."

"Yes, definitely." Said Gio.

"Hey, why are you crying? Look, you look ugly" Gabriel teased the crying Jennie.

"You have the heart to call me ugly." Jennie said while crying.

"Hey, come on. I just moved to Aussie, not planet Jen." Gabriel put his arm around Jennie's shoulder. "You can visit Aussie once in a while." Gabriel wiped the tears on Jennie's cheek.

"Yes. But, I don't have friends to help me with my assignments later." Jennie said sullenly.

"Isshh, it turns out you were only thinking about your assignment." Gabriel smacked Jennie's forehead.

"Ah, Gabriel hurts." Jennie complained about rubbing her forehead. "I will definitely be lonely." Jennie continued sadly.

"Alvin, Evan, David, Aleric are still here." Gabriel's voice was weak as he uttered the name of his former lover. "Khem, there are still many friends here. And I will wait for you to visit Aussie. Okay." Gabriel added back to normalize his voice so as not to make everyone worry about him anymore.

Jennie just nodded and hugged Gabriel, she rubbed Jennie's shoulder affectionately then Gabriel let go of her hug with Jennie. "Oihh Gio." Gabriel distracted Gio and Evan. "Don't you want to say goodbye to Alvin."

Gio just kept quiet and glanced at Alvin briefly. Gabriel, who saw it, chuckled and pushed Gio by Alvin's collar.

"You two talk, we'll be waiting on the bench over there." Gabriel pointed to the bench near the departure entrance.

Gabriel and the others walked away, while Alvin looked sadly at Gio.

"Hey, don't make a face like that." Gio approached Alvin. "If you miss me, come to Aussie."

Alvin pulled Gio into his arms. "Yes, I will definitely come to see you."

"I'll be waiting for your arrival Alvin." Gio tightened his embrace. Alvin hugged Gio no less tightly, then released their hug.

"Once Gabriel gets better, I'll be back soon. Wait for me. Keep my trust in you." Gio continued kissing Alvin's forehead.

Alvin pulled Gio's waist and kissed his lover's lips briefly. "I'll always be waiting for you to come home, Gio. And this heart." Alvin said, touching Gio's right palm to his chest. "It will always be yours."

Gio smiled and hugged his lover once again. Even though Gio looks very ignorant towards his girlfriend, he really loves Alvin.

"I have to go soon." Gio said, stretching his arms.

"Come on." Alvin took Gio's hand and walked towards Gabriel and the others were.

"Have you finished saying goodbye." Gabriel teased, and made Alvin frown. "Don't make a face like that Alvin. Gio, it's normal. And besides, you can visit us there phi. No need to be overly dramatic like that."

"Aish... you." Alvin smacked Gabriel's forehead.

"Aao, it hurts!" Gabriel stroked his forehead. "Look at Gio, your lover abused me." Gabriel complained to Gio with pursed lips.

"Hey, you're the one who likes to dramatize non." Alvin said embarrassed.

"Gio, my head hurts." Gabriel said, whining which was greeted with laughter from the others.

"Hey-" Alvin interrupted.

"It's over, you guys really like to fight." Gio cutting Alvin off. "Come on nong, we have to leave immediately. Mom, our father is leaving." Gio said hugging his mother and father again.

"Yes, you guys let me know when you get there." Poppy said.

"Definitely Mom." Replied Gio.

Gabriel hugged everyone in turn and hurriedly walked into the departure area, because soon the plane to Aussie would take off.

"I hope Gabriel will feel better in Aussie." Poppy said, still looking at the backs of her two children who were slowly disappearing.

"Yes Auntie. I hope so too." Evan said.

"You three, make frequent visits to the house. Accompany your Aunt, so she doesn't feel lonely at home." Said Mr. Mukesh.

"Yes, uncle." The three of them answered together.

"Come on, let's go home soon." Invite Mr. Mukesh.

Everyone walked out of the airport to go home immediately. Everyone hoped that the new atmosphere would make Gabriel forget everything.
