While I was dismissing Mion , I entered to my house , my mother was Waiting for me.
-Rika, How was your Visit with Oryo-sama?- my Mother Asked
-Fine Mother, Oryo wants me to practice everyday for the Watanagashi Festival- I answered
-Oh i see Rika Be a nice girl and don't try to disappoint Oryo –Sama –Said my mother
-Yes Mother!- I answered with a fake cheerful smile.
-By the Way Rika, I made Miso Soup For Dinner
-No Thanks Mother, I am not hungry but thanks anyway mother,
I didn't feel like eating since i was depressed about the Satoshi's Situation
During the Following Days I was practicing for the Watanagashi Festival
When the Day of Watanagashi Arrived I Waked up very early to practice some more of my performance of this night. The Watangashi is A Ceremony in which you grab a piece of Cotton
Purified by the Miko and you let it float in the river that cotton supposedly takes out all your
Sins and purified them.
-Rika its time for your Performance –Hannyu told me
-I see Ok here i go
I performed the ceremonial Dance in front of all hinamizawa My friends Satoshi and Mion Were watching me i was so happy for them since they were Smiling
When my performance ended i went to play with them .
-Satoshi-Kun –I asked
-whats the matter Rika-chan?-Asked Satoshi
-Do you feel that your life is hard?-I asked Satoshi
-No -He answered-Because I have you and Mion as Friends
-I smiled and Hugged him
Mion watched us with a smile.
The rest of the night we spended walking around and joking, When , suddenly I collided with a Woman.
-Oh Sorry –I apologized quickly
-Oh That's Okay-said the woman
-Oh You must be Rika-chama I'm Takano , Miyo Takano
-Nice to meet you Takano-san
Suddenly i hear the voice of a man
-Oh Rika Chama!-shouted the Man
-Tomitake-Kun I answered
-I see that you met Takano today!
- Yes I have met Takano –I smiled with a stupid Fake Smile
I don't know why but that woman is a mystery I can simply tell by looking in her eyes.
-What brings you here Tomitake?-I asked
-Well my friend Takano asked me to take her to the Watanagashi Festival
-Oh I see!-I reply
When Tomitake said My friend Takano Takano looked at Tomitake with an poisoned Smile
-SO I AM ONLY A FRIEND TO YOU EH TOMITAKE-KUN?-Takano Shouted
Suddenly takano ran with a angry face then Tomitake ran after her saying.
-NO TAKANO ITS NOT WHAT I MEANT TAKANO WAIT!!!!-Said tomitake with a funny face
At that time I didn't get that those two were on a relationwship
When the Festival ended I returned home alone ,My Mother Was Waiting
-Rika what time do you think is it?
-Sorry Mother my performance was delayed about an hour
-Its Okay Rika
-Ok Mother
While I was Going to my room my mother said:
-Rika, Wait!
-what is the matter Mother?
-Rika , I want to talk to you about something.
My mother wants to talk to me? I asked myself. It was so weird since She is not the kind of persons of Talking or giving speeches . I walked with my mother to the big and dark Living Room
My mother sited in the blue cushion and started to speak:
-Rika , Why don't you tell me About yourself ? Rika I want to get along with you
But , When I try you always try to keep me away from you You never tell me about your school
Or Your Friends …Rika , Have I done Something bad?-She said in tears
The words of my Mother surprised me .Suddenly I realized that all that annoying things she did was because she was trying to get close to me.
-No. Mother You didn't –I answered with a calm smile
-Oh Rika, I promised you that from today you and I will try to do more things together?
-I promise you that too!-I answered with a smile
-oh Rika-My mother answered with a smile
I hugged her with a Smile My mother and I will finally get Along and be finally a real family along with my father.
After that Hug I went to my bedroom , Hannyu was watching me with a smile
-Rika do you feel happy?
-yes hannyu I am happy
-Have a good Night Rika you deserved it
I closed my eyes When suddenly I hear a great noise
I quickly ran to my parents 'room but they were nowhere to be found
I went to the living room When suddenly I looked at the floor
There was a strange dark red Liquid
It was when I realized that the starting of my happy life have ended ,the day where I stopped being the innocent girl that I was until that moment. The day when I became Orphan…
