Kat stepped off the train towards the exit at a large station in Bandung. Lots of people passing by, mostly shopping for merchandise. She stepped out of the station door, onto the wide platform. She stood for a moment, still, looking around. Breathing the air in a city she often visited as a child.

Adrian was in this city, breathing the same air, Kat thought with pain. Supposedly if their relationship was fine, Adrian would be here to pick her up. However, what happened now was that she stepped out here alone, in a suffocating loneliness, feeling sad and ironic.

“Kat? Have you been waiting long?”

Kat looked up at the call, then smiled when she realized who had picked her up. “Hello, Dean.” She quickly walked over to her cousin, left hee bag on the floor and hugged him.

Dean returned the hug with love, Kat will always be his favorite sister. Dean is an only child, he has no siblings and the only person he can be close to is Kat.
