It was the colourful month of April. The month where the life of nature connects with our soul through the vibrant tiny petals of cherry blossoms. I was walking down the monochrome, empty and depressingly silent streets of our town. My destination? The lump of bricks which we call highschool.
As I trudged down the streets, devoid of any promising emotions, The jaw-dropping scene and my only friend of this unfulfilling life became vivid. The scene of cherry blossoms meddling with the sunlight!
The gentle and soothing cherry blossoms swayed to and fro in the warm breeze, so softly like planks floating in a stream of dreams. It wandered around like a smiling fairy painting this monochrome landscape along it's footprints , slowly but entirely. The yellowish orange rays of the sun fell on the petals and dissolved in the pink so quietly, weakly but yet so loudly and strongly. Indeed, it's a scene that can only exist in this colourless path and only in this forgettable moment.
So suddenly my heart was overflowing with saturated emotions that flowed in like a dense liquid which i felt so distinctly amidst my deep heartbeats. The only ray of hope came in my heart in this morning of new opportunities. This masterpiece is simply amazing.
I kept on walking with my content soulĀ forgetting all the worldly worries when suddenly the nemesis of all positivity popped from the corner of the street. It was Tomioka! Tomioka was the epitome of students .He is the book definition of what we call Ideal. His icy nature, silence and reflections of action speak volumes about his wisdom. His silver hued hair accompanied by his pale white skin makes him a fire, a fire that freezes everything within it's domain. His dark blue pupils enveloped by his sequin silver eyebrows stops time itself.
He darted away swiftly and silently, denying my existence, my personality, my uniform of this soul; as if I was a street pebble that is bound to be rejected by human consciousness. As he walked quietly, with a confident demeanor, even the streets felt his heavy, cold and dry presence.
The emotions in my heart dried up as the memories of conflicts dripped and dripped in place of emotions. Suddenly he stopped and with a hostile, murderous tone started saying: "Don't you even dare to follow me. You don't even deserve to breathe the same air as me."His mere voice made my flesh melt and blood boil.
"Look who's talking here. An arrogant bastard who's getting really cocky". My malice that was layered under my voice became ever so apparent.
He approached me with an murderous intent and raced his hand straight to my collar, holding it tightly. "Know who are talking to worthless scum!"
Then suddenly out of the blue a girl rushed towards us . She had black eyes that meddled so perfectly with her round glasses. Her arms were thinner than a paper, her jet black braided hair floated elegantly in the air as she sprinted towards us. And she wore the uniform of our high school.
At the sight of her coming towards us, Tomioka let me go of his grip. From a measurable distance, she shouted "You two stop fighting. Geez, you guys are in high school and still you guys fight like middle-schoolers." With a layer of irritation under her soft voice.
With an even more irritated voice tomioka"Tch!"d and started walking in the schools way. I turned my sight away from his cursed figure with the intent of forgetting him right then and there. But immediately this girl grabbed the two of us and said: " You two both read in the same high school as me right? Let's go together"
Tomioka became clearly angry at this but didn't say a word. In fact he is like this with every other people. Very patient and calm and prefers not to talk that much, the only time he becomes an asshole is when he meets me.
But I became genuinely irritated at her action and said:" What do you want with us? You are a total stranger to us and who gave you the permission to grab us like this"
"No one needs to give permission for the sake of the betterment of this world"
Tomioka didn't utter a word. After looking at his silence I also became silent.
So we start walking together and without any question the girl quickly tells her name: "My name is Sakura and I am new in this neighborhood. I look forward to our friendship"
(In the future)
"I am the most blessed in this world to meet you" I said. My voice was filled with the overflowing radiance of burning romance. I felt inside me a swelling in my heart.
She assumed the smile of a goddess in the wedding gown and replied so softly:"and so am I"
The cold breeze blew past us but as it blew so timidly, I felt the colours of the sky passing right through my heart and my soul.
It was the same eventful day of April that I met you; It was the day you changed my life, vision, passion and everything I have within this shroud of flesh. The redness of the roses replaced the cherry blossoms and the scent of the church replaced the old smell of high school. But everything else is the same, Tomioka is here, the oldest friend of mine, the charming atmosphere of april is here, my old heart still gets filled with peace in april's invaluable beauty, indeed everything is still same
And indeed that was the day when our fates were decided.
