Freedom Island With You

She Fainted 13

[Why am I not going back home? Why do I keep staying here? I don't even know where I am. Why? Do I really have to stay here?]

Star is bothered yet chose to cross the bridge when she get there.

She can't just tell Klein that she already regain her memory.

She can't just leave and she can't just go back to where she should be.

[I miss my family but why can't I step my feet from going back to where I should be?]

Star is bothered. While busy thinking, Klein talked to her.

"Star, Grandmere will pick up fruits tomorrow then go to the city afterwards, are you not coming?"

Star did not reply.

"Star!"

"Kuya? Are you talking to me?"

"What's with that deep thought? Can I know what is it?"

"Ah, nothing...nothing Kuya, what have you been saying a while back?"

"Do you wanna go to city tomorrow?"

"City? But why?"

"I...I just thought you miss mom."

"Do you want to visit her at the hospital?"

"Shall I?"

"If you want, let's go with Grandmere."

Morning...

They woke up early to pick fruits. They happily did it with Gtandmere. Klein did not let Star carry heavy baskets. Instead he helped Star whenever she tried to carry anything.

"Grandmere, are you really going today?"

"I think I can't go today, let's just go tomorrow."

"Early tomorrow, grandmere?"

"Very early tomorrow. It's late, we can't travel at night."

"Then, we'll wait for you tomorrow Grandmere."

5pm

"Kuya, are you not tired cooking for our food?"

"Star, why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"Ah...just...I'm just asking Kuya."

"My mom once said that if you are happy to what you are doing, you won't feel tired."

"Are you happy cooking?"

Klein stopped what he is doing for a moment.

"Do you want to help me?"

"No...I want to see you while cooking."

"You always see me everyday, I don't even go to somewhere when you're not with me."

"I want to memorize your face," Star said unexpectedly.

Klein see Star eye to eye.

"What do you want to memorize? My eyes? My nose? My ears? Or my lips?"

Star suddenly felt a skip of her heartbeat. Then it beats faster that she felt.

She turned back agaisnt Donny and have deep inhale and exhale.

"I might leave soon," she joked.

Klein was shocked. He immediately faced Star.

"Leave? Why? Or do you know who you are now?" he asked feeling anxious.

"Just kidding. I just have to practice how to say it. Kuya, I never thought you would react that way."

"That's not a joke," Klein said seriously and went out.
