Next morning...
Jenny was leaving her house. Just then, Emily arrived and, seeing her dad, she approached Jenny and said, "Jenny, are you okay? Last night, Michael was saying that you were very sick." Jenny knew Emily was pretending, but she didn't say anything and just nodded her head before leaving.
David came outside and said, "Jenny, come on, I'll drop you at college." Without looking at him, Jenny said, "I'm not going to college, and I'll go by myself." Just then, Michael came running and shouted, hugging Jenny, "Sis, I got selected, yay!" Jenny, smiling, said, "That's great, then I'll take a party from you."
David asked, "Michael, why are you so happy, and where did you get selected?" Michael, looking at David, said, "Five students from our school are being taken for trekking, and Jenny sis knows how much I love all this, so I asked her to talk to the school about it. She promised to take responsibility for it at school, and today the result was announced about who all are going."
The entire time, Jenny was watching the happiness on her brother's face, and David was thinking how his little girl had grown up so much to take responsibility for her brother. Jenny, patting Michael's head, said, "Come on, Mr. Handsome, you need to go to school and confirm that you're going." David, smiling, said, "Come on, I'll drop both of you." Michael said, "Yes, let's go quickly; I need to reach school fast." Jenny said, "You take Michael to school; I have to go somewhere else today anyway." Saying this, she left, and David just watched her go with sad eyes.
Michael remembered something and said, "Oh, today is December 21st." Hearing this, David, while getting into the car, asked, "Why? Is there something special today?" Michael also got into the car and said, "I don't know, but Jenny has been going somewhere on this day every year for the past three years." Hearing this, Michael started wondering where Jenny goes. Then both of them left in the car.
At the college...
Conan had arrived at the college and was heading to his cabin when two girls approached him. Conan stopped in his tracks. One girl said to him, "Sir, you are very handsome. Will you stay with me today? I am very scared of giving blood." Then the second girl also came up to Conan and said, "Yes, sir, and if you are with us, we won't be scared."
Conan, keeping a bit of distance from the girls, angrily thought to himself, "I wish I could drain all the blood from your bodies, not just one bottle." Then, calming himself, he said, "Look, I come here to teach, not to calm anyone's fears." Saying this, he moved them aside and went to his cabin.
At the cemetery...
Jenny was sitting at a spot, and next to her was a stone with a name written on it. Looking up at the sky, Jenny said, "Do you know how many years it has been?" Then, smiling and answering herself, she said, "Yes, how would you know? You are so far away from me now, you probably don't even remember me anymore, right?"
Yes, it was Owen's grave, and Jenny was talking to it. Ever since Owen passed away, Jenny comes here every year on this day and talks to him.
While talking, Jenny gets lost in her old memories.
Flashback...
A very cute and beautiful girl, around 16 years old, was hugging a boy and crying, and the boy was trying to calm her down. The boy was around 22 years old, very handsome and hot, with eyes as blue as the ocean.
The boy hugged the girl tightly and said, "Wifey, if you say goodbye to me while crying like this, how will I manage to stay there?" The girl replied, "Then don't go, hubby." The boy said, "It's necessary for me to go, and I'll be back very soon. Then I'll bring you with me forever." The girl, while hugging the boy and digging her nails into his back, said, "But hubby, why don't you take your mobile with you? You know I need to talk to you every day." The boy pulled the girl away slightly, wiped her tears, and said, "Wifey, don't be so stubborn. I can't take the mobile there, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to stay away from you for even a minute."
The girl moved away, wiped her tears, grabbed the boy's collar, and in a commanding tone said, "Hubby, if you let any girl come near you there, forget that you have a wifey here, and I'll marry someone else." Hearing this, the boy grabbed the girl's hair, brought her face close to his, and looking into her angry red eyes, said, "Wifey, don't even think about someone else, I'll kill him, and then myself. And if anyone tells you to marry someone else, don't do it. I swear I won't let that person live."
Hearing this, instead of being scared, the girl laughed and started kissing the boy. It was as if this act calmed the boy completely, and when the boy started kissing her back, the girl bit his lips and moved away, saying, "Remember that someone is waiting for you." The boy then pulled her towards him and started kissing her again.
Flashback ends...
Jenny was brought back from her thoughts by the ringing of her mobile.
Jenny answered the call and said something before hearing a voice. Monna, angrily shouting, said, "Jenny, when are you coming? Everyone's test is done, and they're forcing me to go." Jenny, laughing, said, "Wait, I'm coming." Saying this, she cut the call, looked at the grave one more time, and then left from there.
At the college...
Monna was sitting in a classroom with no one around her when Conan arrived and said, "Miss Monna, are you coming, or should I inform all the doctors to come here?" Monna stood up and said, "My bestie is on her way; I'll get the test done with her." Just then, Millie arrived and said, "Come on, we don't know when Jenny will arrive." Hearing this, Conan asked, "Isn't she here?" Monna said, "No, but she's on her way. She took a half-day leave." Conan asked, "Is she not well? Is that why she didn't come to college?" Due to her fear of the test, Monna accidentally said, "No, today is December 21st, so she..." Monna stopped herself from saying anything further.
