Sarah swept the situation around, sure enough she was now in a luxurious hotel room. His gaze was distracted at his bag that seemed still intact was leaning on a soft sofa there. Then he turned towards Sam who was still sound with a wary look.

"I'd better go now. Before this guy wakes up and I don't know what's going to happen next", Sarah finally decides in her mind.
With a very gentle movement he put away the hand that was holding his waist. And slowly he got up from the bed, not forgetting he raised the blanket to leave Sam's head.
"Thank you, sir!", he whispered. He still did not expect Sam would wake up from his sleep. He was looking for something for her to leave a message for the man who had saved her.
Sarah gets a paper tear from her bag and takes a pen to write something down there. For a moment he seemed to think, considering what words he deserved to say.
Thank you, Mister.
I will always remember you 😊
He added a smile emoticon there. The simple words he felt were enough to express his gratitude.
Without a sound and slow steps, Sarah crept away from the bed. He opened the door knob very slowly so as not to make a sound. After leaving the room, Sarah closed the door slowly. Then he took his steps to go home.
Half an hour later, Sam began to blink his eyes. Trying to recover from her. His hands fumbled to the side of the bed next to him, he found no one there. Sam breathed his coarse breath. He positioned himself on his back facing the ceiling while stretching out his hands.
For a moment his eyes caught a piece of white paper tucked under a vase of flowers on the nightstand. He grabbed it lazily without getting out of bed. Sam read it at a glance and then he returned to his chest staring at the ceiling of the hotel room.
"Even he just left!", Sam smiled full of irony.
FLASHBACK OFF
"Didn't anything happen to you?", asked Ana while watching Sarah's expression.
"Of course, right! Your friend still has pride, you know!", replied Sarah loudly.
"Well, then how did you come to that house? You know, when you came earlier it felt like I wanted to immediately tear Sam's face to shreds!", said Ana anxious while practicing her hand that was clawing at the air.
Sarah shuddered in horror. Indeed, he did not think that his best friend would turn out to be so scary if he was angry. Ana who was graceful and calm, who would have thought when angry would turn into a very ferocious lioness.
He hugged his own body while feeling all the fur in his body that stood up as a result of imagining if it was true that he and Sam had something wrong. Sarah no longer wants to continue her creepy fantasies. He chose to continue his story.
"I was in the hospital accompanying my mother. Suddenly the mother's condition worsened and cost a lot for her heart surgery. I was confused where to find money. At that time my sister and I were sitting in front of the administration desk discussing. But still we didn't find a solution. And no matter when, it turned out that Mr. Sam was standing not far from us, which I think he must have heard everything we were talking about", Sarah took a break for him to breathe.
"Then?", asked Ana curiously.
"What job do you mean?", Ana fused her eyebrows together looking at Sarah in wonder.
"I had to be her partner at dinner at her parents' house and in return she would finance my mother's care" Sarah replied quickly.
"Why didn't you call me, Sarah?", asked Ana, who was inexhaustible, about to accept a strange offer from someone else. And again there is still him who is his best friend.
"Tell Ana! It's been enough all this time that you've always helped me. I'm ashamed Ana must always depend on you. I really hope to solve my own problems this time. My debt to you is too much, I don't even know how to repay it" said Sarah, who has a sad face. Her tears welled up at the last moment she said her sentence.
Sarah felt she had to know herself, to what extent she would rely on Ana who continued to help her fund her mother's treatment and care which was quite expensive. He feels he has a burden if he can't return Ana's favor all along. However, Ana is like a helper angel to Sarah and her family.
Ana grabs Sarah into her arms. They cried together for a while. Enjoying the taste of each other's feelings.
Ana is also grateful to have Sarah as her only friend. Sarah is sincerely willing to befriend Ana without taking advantage of anything Ana has. Ana finds it hard to get someone like Sarah again. Therefore, he will protect and protect Sarah as much as he can. And because Ana had no mother, Ana considered Sarah's mother her own.
"Whoo! Please, if you have trouble next time don't hesitate to contact me. What do you think I am?! You are also one of the most important people in my life. I can't imagine if anything happened to you. Plus when I saw you being treated harshly, it felt like my heart hurt Sarah" said Ana who was snapping her tears.
"Yes well Ana!", said Sarah at the end of her crying. Sarah prefers to give up, giving up, just say Ana today. But he had promised himself that one day if he already had someone on his back, he would stop depending on Ana.
"Look, your snot is out!", said Ana, pointing to Sarah's nose.
"Where, where?!", Sarah was so busy wiping her nose here and there. Though it was clear that Ana was teasing him, Ana suppressed the laughter by silencing her mouth using her one hand.
"Basic! Look, you too!", said Sarah haughtily. He knew he had been bullied, but he ignored him and instead attacked Ana back.
Ana casually responded to Sarah's remark. He knew Sarah was working on it.
"I know, you must be replying to me, right?!", Ana said with a small smile as if Ana could read Sarah's intentions.
"Well, if you don't believe me!", Sarah said casually. He takes a small mirror from his bag and leaves it to Ana so that she can see with her own eyes.
Ana receives the mirror and sees a liquid force coming down from her nose. Then he immediately picked up the tissue and cleaned it quickly. Sarah saw it no longer strong to hold back laughter.
"You must have been on purpose, right?!", Ana pounced on Sarah and tickled her. They laughed together until they got tired.
Ana and Sarah lean their bodies on the back of the chair. Ana looks daydreaming, she looks up at the ceiling of the car.
"Sarah!", call Ana suddenly.
"Do I deserve to be her partner?", asked Ana suddenly whose face looked flat unreadable.
