Chapter 27 - I won’t forget it…

Arashi is literally stunned the moment he turned his body to face the person who just called out to him

And that person actually appeared to be the mysterious girl from the hospital when Arashi went to visit Rikka

"You…"

Arashi pointed his finger over to the girl as in disbelief toward what he is seeing

"How did you get here?" Ask Arashi curious

The girl then just smiles while walking closer toward Arashi with her hands in her back

"Now…Should I answer that question?" Said the girl as she tilted her head in front of Arashi

Arashi just look at her with a confused look on his face, but then he just shook his head and turned away from the girl

"I don't have time for this…" Said Arashi as he tried to find a way to past through the barrier

He then tried to touch the barrier with his bare hand but it didn't budge, Arashi then hit the barrier with his hand a few times due to frustration

"Doing that won't get you anywhere you know…" said the girl as she stared over Arashi hitting the barrier

Hearing the girl said that, Arashi stopped hitting the barrier and just put his head on the barrier devastated

While feeling devastated, he turned around and lay his back toward the barrier and slowly sit down on the ground

The mysterious girl then looked down at Arashi as he tried to think of a way to get inside, seeing how devastated and desperate Arashi look the girl sits beside him and stared over his face

"Hey…"

Out of sudden the girl spoken out toward Arashi trying to get his attention but instead of hearing what the girl wanted to say, Arashi just ignored her and continued to think of a way inside the barrier

The girl started to pout as Arashi didn't put his attention over to her, she then tried to shakes his body over but Arashi didn't even budge a single bit making the girl to pout even more

She then just put her legs close to her and hugged them while making a pout face, Arashi then tried and take a peek over the girl to see if she leaves but she still sitting beside him

"Why do you insist to go inside anyway?"

Out of sudden the girl spoken out taking Arashi attention which he quickly turned his face toward the girl

As Arashi finally turned his face toward the girl and give her the attention she been wishing, the girl quickly turned her view from Arashi as she still sulking with him

Seeing how petty the girl is, Arashi just let out a sigh and let out his word instead

"I'm trying… to find the truth…"

"About what?" The girl spoken out but still turning her face from Arashi

Arashi just let out a sigh and continued talking

"About my past with that girl…"

"With Maya…"

Arashi then looked down feeling sad out of sudden as he remembered about Maya and his past

The girl then took a peek sneakily as she doesn't want Arashi to knew she is looking at him and as she's staring at him, she felt a bit pity for Arashi that some part inside her wanted to help him

"It's probably dangerous you know."

"I mean if your past with her meant a lot to you…"

"Then why did you forget about it?"

Suddenly the girl asked and abrupt question toward Arashi that he is a bit stunned to answer

"I…"

"I…don't know…" Said Arashi as he grips his fist while looking down on the ground

The girl suddenly felt bad for asking that kind of question toward Arashi that she stop her sulking and turn toward Arashi

"Sorry…"

"I shouldn't have said that…"

Arashi then turned toward the girl as she looks down while having a guilty face on her

"It's fine…" Said Arashi even though he still thinks over what the girl just said and he still felt a bit disappointment over himself for forgetting about it

Hearing that Arashi doesn't take what she just said, the girl then looked up at Arashi face with a determined look

"Do you really want to know about the truth?"

Suddenly the girl spoken out something that took Arashi interest, as he quickly looks up toward the girl with an excited look

Arashi then nodded his head a few times as he surely wanted to know more about his past

The girl then just smiles softly at Arashi excitement though her smile doesn't look happy over it

"So you do know how to past this barrier after all…" Said Arashi as he touch the barrier beside him

The girl chuckles as she looks at Arashi

"I don't only know how to past the barrier…"

"I'm the one who create the barrier…" said the girl while smiling proudly

Hearing that surprised Arashi as he didn't expect for the girl to be the one who put on the barrier around his memory

"But why?" Ask Arashi curious

The girl smiles softly once again over Arashi question

"It's to protect you actually…"

"I've been ordered to guard this one memory of yours no matter what happen in my life…" said the girl as she looks over the barrier

The girl then quickly turned over toward Arashi with a serious look as if he's being judge out of sudden

"Arashi…"

"Do you really wish to see your past?" Ask the girl serious

Arashi then looked at the girl back with his determined look

"I do…"

"No matter how bad it is?"

Arashi started to look nervous over it but he keeps his determined look and stared at the girl directly

"No matter how bad it is…" said Arashi serious

The girl then put on a smile on her face and turned over toward the barrier while putting her hands on it

She then started to spout out something like spell which then crack the barrier and shakes the ground

Arashi tried his best to stay standing while the ground starts to shakes but after a few seconds he looks up over to see that the barrier is finally taken down

As the barrier slowly disappear, the girl slowly falls down after she destroyed the barrier

Seeing that the girl is about to fall, Arashi quickly catch her on his arms but Arashi was shocked the moment he caught the girl as it seems her body slowly became transparent

"What is happening?" said Arashi surprised

The girl then chuckled as she looks over Arashi face

"It seems that my roles here had ended…"

The girl then tried to put her hands to touch Arashi cheeks as she wanted to wipe off the tears falling from Arashi cheek

But before she could do that, her hands slowly disappear, seeing that she just smiles distantly

"Please don't cry…"

"I'm only begone from this place but who knows…"

"We might see each other again one day…" Said the girl trying to cheer Arashi up

Arashi just grit his teeth and grip his fist, he finally realized the reason why the girl didn't want Arashi to go past the barrier otherwise she would die as the barrier falls down

He realized that the girl sacrificed herself in order to fulfill his arrogant wish to see the truth that he had forgotten

"Thank you…"

Suddenly Arashi spoken out which surprises the girl

"I…"

"Won't waste your sacrifice at all…"

The girl then just smiled after hearing Arashi saying those things, no matter how sad she is feeling right now, she is glad that she managed to knew about Arashi even just for a while

"Hey…"

"Can you tell me your name?" Ask Arashi curious

The girl was a bit surprised to hear that, that she let out a chuckled due to that question given by Arashi

"After all of this, only now you are trying to learn about my name?"

Said the girl with a smirk on her face

Arashi then just turn away due to embarrassment but also because he felt bad over it

Seeing Arashi looking like that, the girl let out another chuckle

"Aya…"

Arashi then turned over the moment the girl tells her name

"It's Aya…"

"Don't you dare forget it…" Said Aya with a wide smile looking at Arashi

She then slowly faded away making Arashi to be holding the air after Aya disappear

"Aya…"

"I won't forget it…"

Said Arashi as he grips on his fist over Aya death

He then stands up and turned his view over toward the view that he is familiar with but never he got to uncover due to it being sealed

Before he goes inside it, Arashi takes a deep breath and looks straight over it

He then took a big leap toward his past memory, after being in the dark for so long, he finally could discover the past that he's have been hidden from

The past that led him into all this mess…

Now unveil…
