i know you.

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.
