Once Upon a Time...This Morning Part II

“I'm full, and I'm exhausted now. You can eat it all up; please excuse me." Sipang got up and cut off the conversation. She put down her plates and prepared herself to walk up to the Plumeria House. But then Phupha's words glued her on the spot and felt a lump in her throat.

“I'd probably become an outsider once again since you already know the truth. I'm such a fool, huh? I shouldn't have told you this at all while we were just having fun tonight. At least... I should have waited for your boyfriend to tell you this and remained close to you like we were before, so I could be with you a little bit longer. Anyway, you'll have to know this someday, and I will always be the one who needs to go eventually, right?”

The young man's voice trembled despite his effort to maintain his tone as usual as possible. He got up and put the plate down while looking towards Sipang, who still turned her back to him sadly, "I will get going then. Please take good care of yourself; I'm worried for you."
