Don't play the music yet. Play it at the part where I would let you'll know! 😊

"Katherine! Come here for a moment!", Ryan called Katherine towards all her friends.

"I'll be right back mum!", Katherine told her Pamela as she walked towards her friends.

"Katherine, we have a surprise for you. Would you like to take a look at it?", Christopher asked her.

"Yes!", Katherine told him excitedly.

"Olivia!", suddenly Olivia appeared with a guy.

Katherine couldn't believe her eyes. Olivia looked totally different. She was with her boyfriend, Kevin!

"Olivia!", Katherine ran towards her and gave her a hug.

"Katherine! I missed you a lot!", a tear rolled down Olivia's cheek.

All the moments flowed back into Katherine. Olivia was one of Katherine's first best friend and today she met her first best friend after 5 years. They didn't communicated over the long period as Olivia was afraid that Robert might just stalk her. They soon broke the hug and began to giggle.

"You're looking stunning Olivia! And congratulations on your new relationship.", Katherine smiled at her best friend.

"We're actually going to get married in a few months time! Mum and dad are fine with our relationship! We came here to meet you and invite you for our wedding!", Olivia smiled at Katherine.

"Wow! That's fast! Congratulations!", Katherine gave Olivia another hug.

They wanted to chat more but the emcees appeared on the stage attracting everyone's attention.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the annual business party! This time we're lucky to have it in Australia. Before I begin with this party, I want all of you to collect a mask from the counter at the left side of the stage. This year we're having a masquerade party and there would be lots of dancing!", she announced.

"Wow! I love masquerade parties!", Charmaine exclaimed in happiness.

"Well then! Please quickly collect your masks and get ready!", she announced again.

Olivia and Jacqueline took Katherine's hand and brought her to the counter. They began to look at the different varieties of mask.

Katherine saw an eye catching mask. It was a light blue mask with a butterfly on the left side. While the others were still finding their mask, Katherine wore her mask.

After some time everyone got ready and the music began to play. Katherine didn't felt like dancing as old memories came back so she stood next to Pamela and Ryan.

Everyone was busy enjoying their time dancing. Suddenly a guy walked towards Katherine and asked for permission for a dance.

"I'm sorry I'm not in the mood to dance. Maybe later?", Katherine told him.

"Come on Katherine! Don't be a spoilsport! Go and dance for a while!", Ryan encouraged her.

"Yeah Katherine! Ryan's right! If you would just dance for some time, you would feel better and I would feel glad!", Pamela encouraged her as well.

"Alright! I'll dance!", she placed her hand in the guy's hand and he brought her towards the centre of the dance floor.

A music started playing.

I believe, I believe there's love in you
Gridlocked on the dusty avenues,
[he placed his hand behind Katherine and they began to dance]

Inside your heart, just afraid to go
I am more, I am more than innocent
But just take a chance and let me in
And I'll show you ways that you don't know

[Katherine was busy listening to the song. She found it quite suspicious. This song was quite related to the situation she was at that point.]

Don't complicate it,
Don't let the past dictate
Yeaaah,
I've been patient, but slowly I'm losing faith

[suddenly, the guy did a special spin to Katherine. Katherine understood that this spin could only be done by one person]
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby

I believe, I believe you could love me
But your'e lost on the road to misery
And what I gave to you
I could never get back
Don't complicate it,
Don't drive yourself insane
Yeaaah,
Say what you will but I know that you want to stay

So please, I know you baby
I know you baby
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby

[Katherine looked into his eyes. He then brought himself closer towards her ears and whispered , " I know you Katherine, baby! And you know me as well, sweetheart!"]

Chemicals rushing in,
I know that it's you that I belong to
I'm fighting like a cannonball in the air
Crashing into who I belong to
Uuuh uh, uuuuh uuuuh uh
I have been patient, but slowly I'm losing faith

[Katherine couldn't believe her ears. "Who are you?", she asked him. He just shrugged his shoulders and answered her, "you're looking as stunning as usual, my sweetheart!"]

Please, I know you baby
I know you baby
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby

Please, I know you baby
I know you baby
So please, I know you baby
I know you baby

[Katherine couldn't believe her ears. Her eyes widened in disbelieve. She about to remove his mask when he immediately let go of her and walked away from the scene.]

(The shadows of your heart
Are hanging in the sweet, sweet air
I know you baby,
The secrets that you hide, control us and it's not fair'
(I know you baby)
[she saw him walking away confidently. She just couldn't believe it]

(The shadows of your heart
Are hanging in the sweet, sweet air
I know you baby,
The secrets that you hide, control us and it's not fair'
(I know you baby)

[Jacqueline and Charmaine ran towards Katherine as soon as the song ended.]

"Katherine! What's wrong? Why are you standing here alone?", Jacqueline asked her.

"H-H-H-He-He's b-b-b-ba-ck.", she mumbled.

"What are saying? I seriously don't understand.", Charmaine asked her.

"He's back!", Katherine clenched her teeth in anger.

"Who's back?", Jacqueline asked her.

"He's back!", Katherine repeated herself but was much louder than before.

"Who's back?! Katherine we can't understand what you're saying.", Jacqueline asked again as loud as her.

"Mr Robert Robinson!", Ryan and Christopher answered for her.

"What?!", both the girls shouted in disbelieve.

He's back and what could they do!
