My first waterfall was not really pretty because the water turned brown because of the rain and it looks smaller than I imagined.
"Yeah, it's prettier here," protested Mia while looking at my gallery.
"It was about the journey, not the destination," I explained.
"Yayayayaya," said Mia.

He was not only waited me but walk besides me. I hold his right arm strongly because I was losing my balance. I didn't wear any shoes but slippery flip flops. I almost fall when there were moss in the slippery stone and suddenly Khatami's hand grabbed my hand. His hand controlled mine.
He moved my hand from his right arm and held my hand instead. I tried to let his hand go after crossing the river but he still held it. Without I realise, I owned his hand. For my own.
