They are happy and contented in a short of time. Isaak actually wants Katherine to be with him but Katherine refuses and want to stay where she. Everytime that Isaak telling her to be with him she immediately changed the topic because she don't know what to say or maybe she don't want to have another fight with him because for the same topic. The only thing she wants everytime her boyfriend is with her is to have a great time or the things that normaly couples do. And when the day that Isaak needs leave back to his who-knows-where (Australia) sadness was written on her face and the thought of Isaak having meet another girl to his country making her paranoid. But still, she doesn't want to be with Isaak even Isaak convinced her a little of time. Sometimes, when the things we plan didn't go right was suck. But we need to accept it for the better.
