The third day without Dahyun, leaving a noticeable absence in the cozy big apartment. Sana sat in the living room, her phone in hand as she scrolled through her Instagram feed, the familiar sights and sounds of the home feeling emptier without Dahyun's presence. Such separation happened when Sana left for Japan for her family vacation for whole month. However, that time they were young and free from responsibilities. 

And right now without Dahyun, Uju sat beside Sana, absorbed in a coloring book, his small fingers moving deftly across the page as he filled it with vibrant colors. Sana glanced over at him, a soft smile playing at the corners of her lips as she watched him work.

It had only been three days since she had left for her conference, but it felt like an eternity without her so she just facetimed her. In the past, the sense of longing didn’t really bother Sana. However, she knew that all is about her feelings. 
With a few taps on her phone, the call connected, and Dahyun's familiar face appeared on the screen, bringing an immediate smile to Sana's lips.

"Dahyun!" Sana exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement and longing. "Ommaaaa."
Dahyun's face lit up at the sight of Sana and Uju, who was sitting beside her, his eyes bright with curiosity. "Sana, Uju!" she replied, her voice warm with affection. "I am already missing you both."

Uju leaned closer to the screen, his eyes wide with excitement. "Mom, I miss you more" he asked eagerly, his voice tinged with longing.

Dahyun sends air kisses through the screen. Uju giggled in response, reaching out as if to catch the kisses, his eyes shining with happiness at the sight of his mom. Sana leaned closer to the screen, her heart swelling with love for her "How was the conference, Dahyun? Did your presentation go well?" she asked, her voice filled with genuine curiosity.
Dahyun nodded, her eyes shining with pride. "Yes, it went really well. And guess what? They loved my neuro research," she replied, a hint of excitement in her voice.
"That's amazing” Sana exclaimed. The silence struck both of them. 
“Okay guys, I need to go, love you both” Dahyun on the other line got interrupted and readied herself to switch off. 
“Love you tooo” Uju sweetly said saying goodbye. 

The call ended suddenly, an idea struck Sana, and she voiced it aloud to Uju, her voice filled with excitement. "Uju ya, let's go buy a car for me," she said, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. Sana planned to go for tomorrow but the idea to buy with Uju surprisingly sounded appealing for her.

Uju looked up from his coloring book, his eyes widening with surprise at the unexpected suggestion. "Really, Sana aunty?" he exclaimed, his excitement palpable.
Sana nodded eagerly, her heart racing with anticipation. "Yes, really! It's about time I need to get  a new car, don't you think? I wanted to get it with your Mom but let’s surprise her" she replied, her voice filled with determination.

With a wide grin, Uju jumped up from the couch, his enthusiasm infectious as he grabbed Sana's hand. "Let's go, Sana ! I'll help you pick out the best car ever!" he exclaimed, as he wore his navy blue hoodie and  his excitement bubbling over.
And as they headed out the door, hand in hand, Sana couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and anticipation building within her. 

As they stepped out into the bright sunshine, Sana and Uju walked hand in hand, their excitement palpable in the air. The prospect of choosing a new car filled them both with anticipation, and they set off towards the nearest dealership with eager strides. As the salesman appeared in the entrance, he warmly welcomed the Japanese woman. 

“Hi Madam! Looking for a car?” 

“Yes, I do.” Sana nodded looking at the different models of the car. 

“Oh, You must be with your son here” as the dealer without much of thinking made both Sana Uju to look at each other. Uju usually silent outside so he just smiled at Sana.

“Yeah, I am with my son, he is helping me to choose the right one” Sana said and the hold of Uju seemed stronger and warm as he all cheekily smiled. 

“Hey, young man, lets choose the right car for your mom!”

Before Sana could familiarize with the models of the Mercedes, Sana's eyes lit up as they spotted the sleek, silver Mercedes GLC gleaming in the light. 
Uju's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Mom, this car is so cool!" he exclaimed, pointing eagerly at the luxurious SUV. Sana smiled down at him, her heart swelling with affection. "It is pretty cool, isn't it, Uju? But I want different color” 
 
As they continued their search, Uju piped up, "Mama loves spacious cars because she says it's convenient for camping." His words resonated with Sana, reminding her of Dahyun's car which is Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class. 

“Wow, if you both have Mercedes, then mom should get another parking zone” – Uju curiously voiced out. 

As Sana and Uju surveyed the options, both eyes were drawn to a vibrant white one, its sleek lines and sporty design exuding a sense of fun. She couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement as she imagined herself behind the wheel. 

"This one," she said decisively, pointing to the while AMG GT 4 door coupe. That's it. 
 

"It's perfect."

Uju's eyes widened with excitement as he looked at the car. "Wow, Omma, that's so cool!" he exclaimed, his enthusiasm infectious.

Sana smiled at his reaction, feeling a sense of satisfaction at her choice. The white one felt like a perfect. With their decision made, they quickly finalized the paperwork, and soon Sana was behind the wheel of her new car, the roar of the engine filling her with excitement and anticipation for the Uju’s splendid reaction. And as they drove off the lot, Sana couldn't help but hear Uju’s comment. 

In bottom of her heart, she was enthusiastic about Dahyun reaction. Since she know that she will surely say something in her style.  She wanted surprise her so she just remained silent only sending a m
