Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Flowing river

My name is Haru and this is how I met this girl who always gets angry at me or was she.

He does not know whether he was separated from reality or was he facing reality itself.

The cold of embrace of water surrounds him, a safe haven for someone who wants to be at peace. He keeps drifting endlessly and aimlessly.

"Why did I do it in the first place."

Beside me a splash water has caught my attention, someone was looking at me and must be thinking how pathetic and weird I am.

She waded in the water and joined me in my floating state in the river. We stayed like that for a while...

I realized how embarrassing our current situation is, people must be staring at the two of us.

"Maybe she's here for a reason.", I said to myself.

I came to a conclusion.

I must break the silence! Just like a Hero Screaming to summon all his powers, I summon all the courage I had to start a conversation with her.

Wait a minute what should I tell her? I pause.

But before I could even summon all my courage, she started the conversation and spoke with a soft voice, "The water feels great doesn't it?"

I was caught off guard by her statement, she was rather quite the social person.

"Ah y-yes it does." I nod in agreement then scratched the back of my head, embarrassed.

She stood up, the sound of water splashing and the sight of her was the only thing that mattered at that moment.

"She's a real beauty..." I whispered under my breath etching the sight into my deepest memories... Her skin white as the mountain's snowy coat, her hair yellowish as amber, her body dainty, her eyes deep blue as the ocean, and her gaze was so mesmerizing that I could only look at her with awe.

Suddenly I noticed that the girl went silent.

"Did I do something to upset her ?", I thought to myself.

I might have said something I wasn't suppose to but i have no idea what it was.

"Thank you I guess…", she replied as her cheeks shows a hint of red.

"WHAT in the world did I do to make this woman really angry for her to turn red, I must have landed on a really dangerous mine.", I thought to myself

I smile awkwardly as I struggle to assess the situation I was into. The silence continues for a while.

I was embarrassed to initiate the conversation again so I waited for her to start it.

"You're the very first person to tell me that.", her face turns into a shade of red.

I was unsure what to do, I was certain that she was mad at me for something that I might have said.

"should I try to apologize or should I try joking?", I thought to myself, and after giving it some thought I decided to joke.

Your Hair-.", I struggle to finish my words so I gulped and looked at her with conviction.

"M-my hair?" she shook her hair to check if there was something stuck on her hair which made reminded me that she was a real beauty.

"It looks really good.", I smiled.

It was really embarrassing to say that AHHHH!!! I wanna die so badly I thought to myself.

She hid her face with her hands.

She must be really angry because her face was even redder than before.

"ah sorry I Uhm go-got carried away and said my honest opinion.", I scratched my head in embarrassment.

"You're so mewn.",She bit her tongue...

....

"stupid, I'm going home !" she shouted, her cheeks still red.

splashes of water filled the place as she hurries to go home. I was certain that she was mad, my mind was once again filled with clouds, hurtful words echoed in my ears, my eyes widen in shock and at that moment I was desperate to have someone accompany me. I looked at her, still wading away.

I screamed desperately hoping that my words would reach her,

"Please stay with me forever!" I said.

She lost her footing hearing those words. As if time slowed to make me reach her in time, I began to ran towards her to catch her and then I did caught her.

Our skin touched, our faces close to one another, we could hear each other's breath and our hearts beat.

"Please don't notice, Please don't notice, God Please don't notice how loud my heart is beating."

I looked away embarrassed and so did she. What is she thinking right now I wonder.

"Why did you catch me?", she asks.

"More importantly are you okay" I smile awkwardly.

It looks like she was saying something but, I was mesmerized looking at her that I couldn't hear a single thing she was saying.

"Oi, put me down!",she shouted at me.

I just noticed how beautiful this maiden in my hands is, but I was too busy admiring her that I could not understand nor hear what she just said.

I let go of her.

"Ah, sorry something came up in my head.", I replied.

"Hmph! I'll let you go this time.", She hurries leaving me alone in the scene.

I stood there in confusion, she didn't even answered my question.

I left the river looking down with low morale, thinking when will I ever met her again and when I looked up there she was, standing.

shyly she looked at me said, "About your question, I'll think about it."
