Sherina eventually returns home with Saddam, just in time to put an end of Kertarajasa's bullshit. Ladies, take note: Forehead kisses are only for people who treat you right. It was painful to watch, but it's proof that Sherina is a mortal. When dawn comes, apparently so does Stockholm Syndrome, because Sherina decides to kiss Saddam on the forehead. Clearly, it's his life's mission to never let Sherina prosper. Danger adverted, they decide to sit back and enjoy looking at the stars, but even after his asthma attack, Saddam still has enough energy to mansplain to Sherina the difference between a planet and a star.
