[Shawn]: Mel...
[Mel]: Oh Shawn! What a surprise..what you doing here?
[Shawn]: Errr..I..I.. Who is the guy who send you home just now? You are seeing someone already?
[Mel]: No... No... He is just a friend of mine...
[Shawn]: Well.. Does'nt really matter if he really is your boyfriend... I feel happy for you and at least I be able to leave Sinagpore at ease!
[Mel]: Leave... Leave.. Singapore?? But why? Where are you going Shawn?
[Shawn]: I'm be going to Australia for further studies and I might not come back anymore. Thats the reason why am I here today coz I ought to let you know...
[Mel]: Not.. Not coming back anymore?? When are you leaving?

(Mel was trying hard to hold back her tears)

[Shawn]: I be leaving in one week time... Mel, I'm glad that we never started a relationship together... Or else I cant imagine what will happen to us now... Looks like you made the right choice... I also didnt wanna hurt you... That's why all along I never force you no matter how much I love you! As long as you are happy, I be happy for you too! Mel, do take good care of yourself, you have always been weak since school days... Hope you will soon find someone better than me to take care of you for the rest of your life and most of all, promise me that you will lead a happier life ahead!

After that, Shawn turned and started to walk away... Mel ran towards him and hug him from behind! She didnt said anything to him... Tears just kept rolling down her cheeks... She knew that she didnt want Shawn to go... But still, she was in no position to stop him from leaving!

[Shawn]: Mel... Please dont cry... It really breaks my heart to see you in tears! I wouldn't bear to leave Singapore if i see you like this....
[Mel]: Shawn... Promise me that you will continue to keep in touch with me even though you are there okay??
[Shawn]: Okay, its a promise!
[Mel]: Can we meet up for one last time for dinner before you leave Singapore?
[Shawn]: Ermmmm...okay!

The night at the dinner...

[Shawn]: Wow Mel, you sure look very nice today! Know you for so long already, didnt know that when you doll yourself up, you can be that pretty...
[Mel]: *Blushing* Thanks.. So wat time is your flight tomorrow??
[Shawn]: Its 7.15am in the morning...
[Mel]: Oh okay... Can I come to send you off??
[Shawn]: No... No... You better not, don't get me wrong... I just don't want to have the feeling of can't bear to leave you... So I guess that its better that you don't come...
[Mel]: Okay if that is the case, I respect your decision...
[Shawn]: Mel... Can i asked you something??
[Mel]: Yes?
[Shawn]: Have you ever fallen for me before??
[Mel]: Ermmm...No
[Shawn]: Okay thks for the honest answer... I really hope that answer is from the bottom of your heart! Mel, I just wanna let you know that I wont forget you in my entire life no matter where i am... Meeting you was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me... The memories we had together will always stay within me... Will u miss me??
[Mel]: Yes I will... I...
[Shawn]: That answer is good enough to keep me going when I'm over there.... Can i have one last goodbye hug from u??

[Mel & Shawn] *Hugz*

Mel was trying hard to hold back her tears... She wanted to tell him that she love him but it will only add on to his misery and beside he is leaving already... They won't have a future anymore so she rather keep that answer inside her heart... That night, Mel cried herself to sleep...
