Have you ever allowed being pushed and pulled by the waves yet wishing for the shore?
Have you ever bent until your spine brakes?
Being overestimated just for you to disappoint till your HEART , SOUL , and MIND just ...- break?
. . . Hello my name is Haruto Chiol , and this is the story of my Way To Be A Chef!
....
HINAMI_LANE___KYOTO_. JANUARY_12_2008
The Dawn arose and morning dew still on the fresh leaves here in Kyoto at Hanami Lane
The beautiful pavements , clean environment and lively community , Hanami Lane was famous for it all but all the locals here knew of the infamous Justice pair .
"HARUTO! wake up you'll be late for work." said a female in her late teens . "Coming Akari-chan" said Haruto while brushing his teeth then changing his clothes , It was an awkward scene to see his toothbrush still hanging on his mouth . "I really wonder who's older here you or me?" Akari sighed . But Haruto was just gurgling and spiting in the sink already and changing his clothes , "Are you really the lawyer of the year? I mean don't you have to be responsible?" asked Akari .
Haruto was fixing hi necktie When he retorted "you know sister you talk too much 1 sentence can be a decade for you." "YOU-" Akari said until she looked at the place where her older brother was , "HE'S GONE!" she screamed "HHHAAAARRRUUUUTTTOOOO!!!" she continued screamed so loud her neighbors could hear her not that they minded it happened on daily basis . "Man she's scary" said Hartuto shuddering , He was walking in front of the pedestrian lane waiting for the green light with a few people .
people seeing how the train was more useful , the green light started blinking and he walked on the pedestrian lane humming the song BlueBird by Ikimono Gakari . While walking he only sees elderly and parents walking "Man kids these days dint know hah to appreciate morning walks" Haruto stated he heard a chuckle behind him he looked back and saw an old man "They sure do , the streets here in my time was mostly lively" the old man said .
He wanted to keep talking to the old man but then he heard a loud noise at the right side of him him and looked around and was truck beeping his horn . 'A FRICKING TRUCK! can't he see the traffic light?' he was frozen in fright and watched the truck almost crashing to him he snapped out of his daydream if there was one rule of being a lawyer with a detective sister it is to be alert he tried to run away and he could , but the old man who he was talking to was in the aim of the truck so instead of running like a chicken he pushed him outa d way instead like a law-abided citizen .
Darkness was all Haruto sees he counted every second and those seconds turned to minutes then hours to days to years "How long has it been? 5 no 6 years passed" He stated "Is this how everyone who dies go to?" Haruto continued asks . A lone figure can be found in the darkness thinking of nothing but regret and sadness in his life .
all the hardships and praises , to love and hate . He HATED! the way people chose for him , HE HATED! being used and thrown he just wants to chose how to Iive , is it hard is it for people to accept that ? Even from the stories of when he was born from his mother he constantly hears her say to him "You'll be a great lawyer" . "HECK! even I used to BELIVE I wanted to a lawyer , So what's the problem of being a chef , money? time? REPUTATION!?" Haruto screamed his whole figure shaking wanting to WANTING TO HATE everyone and everything he had left .
Yet deep down he knew he still loved everything and everyone he ever knew . What he did surprised even the the one's watching him he embraced , embraced that he can't hate , he wanted to HATE but loved instead he really really wanted to GO , LEAVE , AbAnDoN but why? "why can't I hate?" asked Haruto even when knowing no one will answer , Knowing this made him feel more saddened , "Even if I lie to myself who am I going to blame? no one's here but me ." he whispered curling into a ball . tears swelling in his eyes threatening to fall "Only me" Haruto's voices cracked closing his eyes to rest letting a single rouge tear escape from his eyes then he rested .
Light spiked from nothingness "Huh , light?"questioned Haruto suddenly the light became brighter and brighter "GAH! my eyes" shouted Haruto shouting his eyes closed very hard , still with his eyes closed the light seemed to still blind him so he hovered his hands over his eyes hoping it will block the light . Then a pain like no other penetrated he could only describe it like it was the Lingchi he read from Wuxia novels , a single figure is found floating in a very bright light crumpling in pain screaming it has only been a few minutes but to Haruto it seemed like hours after the pains stoped he could still fell his body aching .
"Finally it's done" HAruto sighed in relief but then a pulling motion replaced it he felt like being sucked in a straw the size of a needle . Haruto felt like being stretched and smashed to a very small ant and pulled with a burins and yet freezing felling when he entered the tube "AHHH! Haa haa. haaah.. haa..." gasped a boy sitting on a bed wet towel on his head and medicine and a thermometer on the table beside him , gasping sounds can be heard from the boy like he has been choked then released from the someone's grasp .
"HARUTO! are you alright?" Haruto heard a voice that seemed familiar he turned around and saw someone who he hated but loved more he ran and shouted "MOM!" Haruto running into her arms "Shhh , It's okay Haruto it's fine Im here." said Himari the mother of Haruto reassured . "I-I-I was i-in a da- dark pl-place and , it hurts so much!" cried haruto hugging his mother tight and sobbing really hard . Himari patted her sons back and reassured him it was only just a dream .
during those hugs and reassuring words Haruto thought 'Mom , I'm sorry but I want to be a chef . I'LL MAKE YOU SEE I'M DESTINED FOR THE CULINARY WORLD!' Haruto made his resolve to make his mother change her viewpoint in chefs because it is his dream and his passion . 'because this is what makes me fell alive and mom , your worries are the first step , the first obstacle of my WAY TO BE A CHEF!' Haruto said eyes brimming with determination .
