"Wake up, you need to be in time quick."
( If I recall it was the most calm and decent summer in my whole life. Back then I was in .... Well for some reason what was it! What was the class was I reading back then? Perhaps things seem so much blurry and so much slower at this moment but, I wonder how can I see her so clear! )
( At school during second period we had math that day. I really loved math and our math teacher was really a great person. )
"Everyone listen, you have to give a math test today that was scheduled a week ago! So, kids kindly pass on your exam paper and question to your next friend. Keep only one of each paper with you."
( If I recall Mizu was sitting on my left desk and she was looking so pretty that day, I mean she is always so pretty. I wish I could hold that moment inside till my last breath...)
"Mizu, my heart did you know there was an exam today! Oh my god, I'm going to fail."
"I swear I'm going to punch you someday. You keep saying 'My heart'. I'm never falling for you Ichigo! You don't look like Brad Pitt. So, I ain't giving you any chance."
( Mizu was smiling badly, she had lost her two side teeth but, she looked so beautiful I swear. I smiled and said ... )
"Ahhhh! Do you know the thing you said just now broke my heart? Also, I'll keep proposing you till you accept ha ha ha. Why don't you accept my love? I'll help you to pass math today!"
"Ichigo, you yourself don't even know the answer ha ha ha. Do you wanna make me fail too!"
"Mizu, what is the answer of the 3rd question! What is the result of 4x9+17 ?" ( I whispered to her so that our teacher wouldn't notice! )
"I will tell you the answer if you say you will not try to be my Brad Pitt in future."
"I can accept thousands fail in exam rather than losing you my Angelina Jolie."
( I guess I was prematurely ripe considering my age. Mizu was laughing so much our math teacher noticed us. )
"Hey, you two kids stand up. Yes, you two devils. Why are you cheating? It's unethical! Now, what should I give you as punishment ummm?"
"Sir, we were not cheating. Ichigo keeps trying to take me on a date, he says I'm his heart ..."
"Wait, wait a minute! What! What did he say!"
( I guess, it was really funny for him to understand the hard concept of love that had affected a child of seven's heart. I mean that affected me... Ha ha ha now that I think it in this way it was really funny. He burst out in laugh.)
"Ichigo, after class you will be here cleaning the classroom. That's your punishment for falling in love." ( With massive laugh the whole class broke out. )
( After class that day everyone left. I was cleaning the class and our teacher if I recall was checking our math test answer papers. When I was cleaning the last desk near the window he called me. )
" Son, come here."
" Hm."
" What makes you think you are in love with her ?" ( With a big smile he kept looking at me for my answer. )
" Well, I don't know. Every time I see her I feel tremendous heart beat inside of my chest. A duruk duruk duruk sound popping inside so badly I cant explain. Also, she is so pretty I really can't help falling in love with her."
"Son, everything in life is not about love. Sometimes, you have to stay away from this stuffs. Do your study properly. What is your aim in life?"
"Mizu's husband..."
( Yes, you heard me right! I straight up said it. And the moment I looked properly in my teacher's eyes I saw he was laughing so much he was about to cry with smile. Honestly, I never hated him. In fact he was one of the few teachers whom I respected and loved. Whom I tried to follow and cherish. He taught me so much. Not just math. But back then, I guess he didn't comprehend the thought of a little boy falling for his true love till his death. I wish he could see me now! I guess in the end you just miss all the people you met in your lifetime not your career or money. Just the people that you loved once. I wish I could meet him one last time too. )
