After trying most every ride, we stopped by a store that sells mango shake. I felt like my soul left my body riding the Vikings. I suddenly remembered Miss Mia cursing at every second as it suddenly goes down, then after the ride, she never stopped cursing until she got tired. Honestly, it made me feel the happiest.

I took a picture of the surrounding and it was nostalgic. I felt like I am a girl and went back to the 80's where people doesn't think too much and just seizing the moments. We roam around the place and bought some stuffs for souvenirs. I bought bunch of hair clips for Kira, and for me. We also bought keychains, some tumblers, and cute head bands. 

“My stomach is telling me to eat.” Said Tim while overdramatically acting his starving as he put his hands on his belly and frown. We walk straight to the food area and we saw a stall that sells burgers and I was left in an awe as the guy demonstrate to us how he flip the burger patties with only one hand. He then spread the melted cheese and I can't wait to take a bite of it. We find a place to eat, it was near the lover's booth and we sat down in the grass, and enjoyed the food.

I scanned our faces in the camera and saw different epic reactions. Tim's blank face but the peace sign in the trampoline, Miss Mia holding tight in the railings of the turtle ride, Grandpa's scared face and as far as I can remember, this was before the rollercoaster ride.

I kept pressing the next button until I saw my face-this was when Tim suddenly took my camera. There was something in my eyes that tells a different story from who I am before. Seeing my face, it felt like I've grown to who I want to be. The happy one, and trying to be strong Kathareen.

I watched them eating burgers while they are telling their stories of their experience with the rides. Tim said he enjoyed the horror house the most, but Grandpa said it was the worst.

“The pretending ghost got scared of me.” he mumbled making us laugh. He hit Tim lightly in his biceps as he laugh the loudest. Some stared at us as we are the noisiest here. We just ignored them, not minding the way they look at us. Miss Mia wipes her tears of joy and stated her cheeks are now tired from laughing. Them enjoying their life with their wide smiles, is my best view.

It was already five in the afternoon when we went back to the resort. My body's tired especially my legs, but it was worthy. We walked the stairs going back to our rooms and agreed to eat dinner in the food court. 

Tim helped Miss Mia with the big bags of stuffs we bought in the carnival. I almost close the door when Tim stopped me and his hands our now on top of mine. I gulped and tried to act calm. Our eyes met, and then I raised my brows waiting for him to speak.

 His hands stayed on top of mine. He then gave a smile and spoke.

“ I know you.”

My forehead wrinkled and my eyes squinted in confusion.

He let go of my hand and spoke once again. “Yes. I think I know you.” Then he left.

What do you mean? Of course you know-” I stopped screaming as I suddenly remembered Grandpa's words. 

You will never know them unless you love them.

    The room was perfect white when I opened my eyes. From the ceiling, to the walls, and to my hospital dress. The last thing I could remember was when I saw blood in the handkerchief and how the medical apparatus were being attached to me.The doctors examined my lungs, asked me a lot of questions- the ones you can't answer with a yes or a no.

    “ But... if you try the therapy, you'll live longer, right”I flinched with her words knowing she is just 7 years old.

I checked the comments they left and it touched my heartbeat. Some says that they didn't expect the ending and actually, me too.I took a deep breath and closed my laptop.

He smiled at me when our eyes met and placed the box on the table beside me.” What's that?” I asked while he is slowly taking off the tape.“The printer.”“So..you're really serious about it, huh?”&nb

After some seconds, she entered my room with her curly hair tied in a high ponytail and a wide genuine smile painted on her face.

The feeling was unexplainable. I did it. I finished the novel. I took a deep sigh of relief as I saved it and closed my laptop. I stared at the view- mountains, big trees, green valleys, the lake, children playing with their kites-a home. While enjoying the view, a van suddenly stopped in front of our house. I waited until I saw a familiar figure of someone-her dark complexion, her cury hair, and finally..her lovely face.“ Miss Mia!” I screamed making my lungs stopped working for a moment.

    “Ten chapters left.” I uttered replying to Tim's question. HIs eyes went big and there was a smile that formed in his face. I give him a finger gun and scratched the bridge of my nose. I took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling. “ I don't know if this is a great story... I don't feel like it's worth someone's time.” I stated while both of my hands are entagled and on top of my forehead.The smile on his face disappeared and he gave me a glare. “ What are you talking about?” he asked but I didn't respond. He went to the window sill and arranged the vases and then opened the curtain letting the light in. “ You know... not everyone can write a novel..” he uttered leaning at the wall while his legs are crossed. “People like you, who are blessed with writing skill are rare... and you should never be yourself's first hater.
