Blurry Memories

Memory fifteen: A day of Fun

SAKURA

After eating the ice cream, as what I promised Chi-chi we went to the game zone.

She was excited, and immediately dragged us towards the claw machine after we exchanged our money to coins.

She said she want to get the pink rabbit so we tried it out, I was able to get a stuff toy– it was a blue dinosaur, but it wasn't the one Chi-chi liked so I tried again but I wasn't able to get any of the stuffed animals.

Harvey, on the other hand played on the other claw machine, it was a claw machine filled with different things, which I don't know what things exactly. I gave the claw machine another go, and fortunately I got the pink rabbit Chi-chi liked, she hugged the rabbit and told me she'll name it 'Sakura the rabbit'– she named it after me. She said I was the one who gave it to her so it would be nice to name it after me.

I glanced at Harvey who was now holding two stuffed toys– two coffee cup– one brown, and one white with a smiley face.

We continued walking– with hands full of things, we reached the bump cars. Chi-chi again dragged us and said she wants to ride it. I said I won't ride it and would just sit and guard 'Sakura the bunny' for her.

She nodded and they rode the bump cars. She was smiling and laughing, Harvey was too. It was definitely good to see them enjoying this day.

I took out my phone and took a photo of them, capturing a moment that would only last in memories. I wish Hope is here with me– with us, and experience these things.

Ha!... I miss her, I miss all of them.

"Did you have fun?" I asked Chi-chi who was being carried by Harvey, as we started walking out the game zone.

"Yes! I had lots of fun! We should play lots and lots of game next time!" she cheered.

How come she still have energy? She ran around the whole game zone all day, and played almost all the games she could play with.

"Of course we will!" I said and pinched her cheek a little. After walking a little more, Chi-chi went silent, I glanced at them, she was already sleeping on Rein's shoulder so I suggested we should take a rest for a bit.

I smiled, I caressed her cheek and tucked the fallen strands on her face to her ear.

"She must've feel tired." I said to myself and glaced at Rein who was looking at me.

" What? Is there something wrong?" I asked. Worried.

" No" he said and turned his head the other side.

"it's just that..your face is too close." he murmured.

" Your saying something?" I asked as I didn't hear what he said.

"Nothing. Do you want to go home?" He asked so I nodded.

"We can switch places. I don't mind carrying Chi-chi." I suggested.

He was carrying Chi-chi for almost an hour now, he must be tired too. Carrying Chi-chi to the car was the least I can do.

He was about to speak but probably realized, I wouldn't accept No as an answer so he nodded.

"You sure you're okay? Chi-chi is heavy you know." he asked for the third time after I started carrying Chi-chi.

"Yes, I'm fine. We're almost there!" I said and continued walking.

He opened up the car door and I put Chi-chi down and fasten her seatbelt.

"Let's go?" I asked and he nodded, he opened the car door for me, and took the seat beside me. We stayed silent as the car started running.
