POV Ami:
The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in, the first rays of sunlight lit up my room.
The day dawned crisp and clear.
As the warm sunlight fell on my face ,I got up and lazily dragged myself out of the bed .
"Aw !! It's morning already!! I wanted to sleep little more!!!"
I said rubbing my bleary eyes.
"Ami !! you awake ? get up the breakfast is ready "
"okay ! Mom i'll be there in a minute!"
after getting dressed up in the school uniform i washed my hands and sat down in the dining table wondering about what kiyomi san said yesterday!.
"Ami ! , what about your little friend you brought last time , Is she doing good?"
mom said while serving the breakfast.what do you know ,it was just bread and eggs with some milk as usual, a way to start the wonderful days of my final year of my school life with the dull note like this.
"who ?? a friend?"
"how can you forget so soon it's just been two days!. I mean that girl ! who was really energetic and sweet too . she was asking for my name as soon as she got inside.when I told hersel It's Yuika , she Immediately turned to you and said that you're really very lucky to have an elder sister like me!! Teeehe!"
"Itadakimasu!" i said before eating the food that my Mom prepared.
"ah! you must be talking about Kiyomi san . She was just shocked that you're my Mom and not sister .tehe!! she is full of energy all the time and I don't know where she gets that energy from.I am sure she will be fine."
After i finished eating I washed the dishes, picked up my bag and left for school.
"Itekimasu!" i said before leaving .
Clear weather!!! ,A marvelous mix of modern living and old fashioned manner,slick high-tech gadgets and cutesy anime mascots, terribly crowded yet quiet and peaceful at times. Sometimes I feel like I could get lost in these streets but I am not a little kid anymore who isn't able to find my way back home.Fortunately school isn't very far away too .Just a 2-3 min walk to the bus stop and the bus takes you to another stop within 10 min and a 5 min walk from the stop to the school but i usually prefer to 35-40 min walk to home thats while returning of course and I occasionally walk to school whenever I have more time in hand.
During my internal monologue I heard a faint voice calling out to me, is it Kyomi San?.
"eh!! it is .. Kyomi San , good morning!!"
"Good morning Emi San, why are you spacing out like that you know how much I yelled out your name … seriously!!!"*little annoyed* Kyomi san got mad at me. Indeed I was too busy spacing out for I couldn't hear her calling me from the distance.
*Making a clumsy face*
"I'm sorry ...I'm sorry… but Kyomi San sure looks cute when she's mad at me , tehe!" *smiles*
Her cheeks turned pink all of a sudden she cutely flustered like freshly blooming flower and yelled at me out of embarrassment "Stop teasing me already!!!" *Flustered and little irritated* I laughed at her so we both laughed very next moment on our way to school.
"So , did you think about what I said earlier?"
"I….That I . haven't I'am sorry I'll decide by today"
"Not a problem, Emi…. everyone in our class wants to hear you sing.. you know.. you won't disappoint them right? , you can take you time to think...umn.. just don't get too late okay! "
"okay but..."
"that's it then the student council president wants to hear from you in the lunch break may be it's kind of audition after all it's one of the grandest school fest held here at school every year so be ready okay !!!! i'll see you later… "
Kyomi San ran off rushing towards the class upon reaching the entrance.
" Kyomi San!!!!!! , OH !... this girl ... never listens to me properly and jumps on the conclusion too quickly,*little annoyed* seems nothing can be done now , ufu… how annoying…tehe..."*smiles*
but she's always so true to herself always enjoying her life to the fullest and energetic too . I'm envious .I wish I could be like her. more importantly she always has been supporting me selflessly ever since we met she's way more reliable than I am. indeed she's a good person and my one and only close friend.
After reaching the class everyone got seated in their respective seats and the normal classes began. The teacher started his lectures and I couldn't help myself from being extra sleepy early in the morning.A few moments i could barely keep my eyes open when a small piece of paper got tossed at my desk right in front of my hands from behind ; I wonder who did that out of the blue. I carefully examined my surrounding to discover Kyomi San had delivered it.
she moved her hands hinting towards the paper so I opened it and read the things written on the paper
"Emi San!, the person I requested to play guitar for you in the school fest is not present today and I heard that he would'nt be able to attend school for few more days….. oh man….what am I suppose to do!!!we have to meet president Miyo in the noon and moreover you need practice for the fest we only have one week !!!."
I couldn't reply... I did'nt know how to react to the situation.I felt like I am trapped in the vortex but then I really wanted to perform on stage for Kyomi San. and I got convinced ….. now that I am convinced I wanna do it anyways…. my internal monologue was broken with the sound of the ringing bell pointing towards the end of the class. everyone stood up and wished the teacher before leaving for the lunch break and I met Kyomi San after having lunch as promised.
"Emi San! you read what I wrote in the letter right?.... I just wanted you to see you performing on stage and everyone on our class wants to see too because I told them how well you sing!!.. but since Itan San's mom is hospitalized he won't be attending the school till the school fest . It was me who convinced you to perform and .... I am really very sorry Emi San !!! "
she suddenly gave me a kind of a sad look so I held her in my arms to comfort her and said that there is no need to worry as even if Itan San unable to play guitar for her in the fest and though it wase'nt recommended by the organizers but I would still perform with the recorded instrumental track. As i told her that her mood drastically improved .
"really ?!!!! you'll perform?!!!"
"Thank you , Emi San , I am so happy!!! let's go to the garden entrance thats where we'll find president Miyo waiting for us"
Its me who should be thankful you know…..for when it comes to me Kyomi San is always so considerate. for she showed me the way when I was lost,when I couldn't find my way destroyed by the pain and self hatred, when I felt there was nothing waiting for me except the misery, when I could see my own future was uncertain; she revealed the way for me that enabled me to forget everything and continue on enjoying and smile as if nothing had happened yesterday . it was only possible through music and the support from Kyomi San.
"Miyo San !! good afternoon sorry to keep you waiting!!"
Kyomi San greeted Miyo san as we approached her sitting in the small bench near the garden entrance not very far from the school's main entrance.
"oh ! It's alright I just got here myself!!! anyways that means you are Emi San "
she offred to shake hands as she approached me.
"its nice to meet a really talented person like you,I am Miyo I am the current student council president. to be honest I have already heard you singing in the night fest held few months before"
Kyomi san looked at me surprised as Miyo san seemed very pleased saying those words.I turned towards Kyomi San and told her that it was all by accident . some one who would have to perform that day couldn't make it and I happed to be there loafing around so I just offered them a hand without giving much thought and also apologized to her for not letting her know later.
"but I head that Itan san should be here too right??"Miyo San asked.
"his mom is hospitalized so he's not here so i think Emi San is going to perform along with the recorded instrumental track because every one is already so busy with the work they wouldn't make adjustments to practice with her" Kyomi San replied.
"Thats bad , anyways let's hear some from you , there's no way I'd leave you without few lines!"*smiles*.
"Sure Miyo San!! "
"then i'll start!!"
(.....)
POV Florian Axel :
"I got late!!!..... I got late!!!…. I got late!!!! " I ran as fast as I could on my top speed..
"eh? someone's singing ….?"
(...Such an imature song of mine ,
I will soon turn into an immature adult
The truth is I wanted to write more positive songs
But I couldn't
I am not strong enough to support someone else)*voice of someone singing*
I was in big hurry just moment ago but my fast paced footsteps slowed down in an instant , my mind state transitioned from the furious one to a curious one. when I first heard her sing ,I got mesmerized . It felt like whole environment was filled with the melody . her voice being soft and gentle with soft and sharp texture , an Angelic voice .. I was captivated by it as soon as I heard it. I was drawn towards the place like ant drawn towards the block of sugar. I quickly took out my guitar from its case and plugged in to the amp that i was holding in my left hand .
the three girls watched me carefully as one of them kept on singing while carefully observing to what I was trying to do .
"Well, excuse me .sorry to bother you miss but, you have such a majestic voice I couldn't hold myself back ... can you sing that song … I mean the song you're singing in this scale !!!! I'd like to play guitar along with your song ..... umn … Please!!!" *flustered*
I was really embarrassed to ask something as crazy as that suddenly out of the blue to mere strangers but I actually instinctively did that already.i did play the scale too but now I couldn't stop flustering. whole place got silent for a moment I guess they were socked too, I got so nervous I didn't knew how to react. but then she laughed out loud… loud enough to bring tears in her eyes , she smiled replied "Where did that came from so suddenly anyways ...Sure … so should we get started?"
"Okay!! lets get started!!" ooooh I was so releived and happy too to be able to discover such a wonderful voice very similar to my favorite singer from a duo , one whose with absolute mastery over his electric guitar and the other whose voice is the defination of ethereal.
POV Emi:
(...Such an imature song of mine ,
I will soon turn into an immature adult)
How did it turn out this way? ….. come on! .. it came out so suddenly! … I was caught reactionless and I laughed soo much it's been a while since I laughed so much …. this guy is funny and sweet too!.haha.
(The truth is I wanted to write more positive songs
But I couldn't )
Now just look at him he's enjoying so much. with such mastery he has with his instrument. he is amazing ! It seems he really loves music just like.... like him(....) !!!!!
ah !!!!....I….i cannot remember about him right now !.just concentrate in singing…..
(I am not strong enough to support someone else
If only I was strong…..
I am Sorry ...)
Eh…..? what….. what is this … is it my mistake or is he really making a sad face so suddenly ... but the songs has relatively lively tempo and lyrics is also not that of a sad song. I did concealed my emotions…. so why…..?... why this transition so suddenly?....did he pick that emotions up from the song?.. no that's impossible!.
(....)
without realising I was actually carefully observing him I wonder whats so special about him , is it just because he made me laugh effortlessly just a moment ago or is it his passion for music is similar to that of my elder brother….?...
(..I'd have tried harder
in writting a song as gentle as you,
"Goodbye"makes me feel sad ,
so let me say "see you later" instead.)
(...)
I finished the song I never Imagined this song could sound something like this . he's an amazing musician. how did he even pick up so quickly.he almost heard a glimpse of it just a moment ago and this song is self composed and is not even published online so there's no way he'd have heard it somewhere else before.he's truly a gifted musician.
"Wow!!!!! soo fun to watch you guys perform you guys were on cloud nine just now!!!!"
" Both of you were in perfect sync " Kyomi San added to Miyo san's compliment.
"You guys can be perfect partners you know , …. I wish you two could perform in the school fest together …..we're short of time now!!! ." said Miyo San.
"Woaaaaa !!!!! I am sorry ... I was suppose to meet my brother here after the lunch break …. I was so drawn towards the song I am short on time!!! Wahh !!! I'll see you later I hope we can meet again some other time "
"Eh….! , Wait just tell us your name before leaving.".. oh he didn't even hear me properly and ran away! "I thought he'd play his instrument along side you… with your voice and his guitar skills I am sure you guys can conquer the stage!!!!! … Woa"
"it's Okay Kyomi San he was in hurry , he said that he's suppose to meet his brother right ?and more over he was casually dressed not in the uniform so he's not even a student of this academy so he won't be able to join Emi san on stage "
"Eh...? Eh…..!!! Guess I am the one who got impulsive…" *disappointed*
"Ah Kyomi San don't get disappointed !! I try my best okay .I'll still do good without him.."
" Okay ,.... The lunch break is almost most over so let's head back to the class room now Kyomi San . It's was pleasure meeting you Miyo San…. Hope we meet again soon."
" The pleasure is mine … take care Emi San , Kyomi San. "
Towards the end of the lunch break we bid see you later and we separate ways with Miyo San to the classroom. When I started my monotonous day in the morning I never Imagined such thing could happen , and I feel so happy and satisfied I met such an amazing artist.I really look forward to our next meeting. I wonder if I'd see him again. Indeed Today is special.
POV Florian Axel:
The wet, desolate streets of the city rested in silence as the starry black sky wept over it. The water in the portholes shimmered by the glow of the bright, yellow street lamps. The small, green trees on the roadside swayed as the strong breeze hit them.
On my way to my place I stopped by a vending machine grabbed a can of coffee and continued on walking . On every sip I had a different feeling kind of feeling I never felt before.In the end of the day I got to experience so many new things here in Tokyo though I almost got late meeting up with Brother Ken and Ma'am principal because I spent too much time in the park playing guitar *smiles*. I'm really happy that I got admission on the academy . I'll be attending school starting from tomorrow . I'm soo excited. Speaking of which I ran into a mysterious girl who had really amazing voice really similar to my favourite music duo. Aw…. We should have atleast exchanged our names.Oh Boy! I was in too much hurry. I wonder if I'd run into her again tomorrow in the school… *remains silent for some time*
I remember Mom once mentioned "there are melodies in these passing times , truly beautiful melodies that's beyond comparison you can only feel it , let's see Axel if you can find what are these melodies someday!! I'll be egarly waiting for that day! " So are these new experiences the melody she mentioned..? If it is I really look forward to find more of these melodies you mentioned Mom,... these Melody in the Autumnus ….!!! The very thought of it is exhilarating . Indeed Today is special.*excited*
