Flashback
Summer had come and as expected everyone was busy for the planned vacations.
Under an oak tree, two kids could be seen talking to each other. A seven year old boy wearing a Fila cap was facing the blue vastness above him. He had feline-like golden eyes and a dark hair with green tints. Along with him was a six year old girl with long, straight, yellow-orange hair. She was blind but in spite of it, she had beautiful, tantalizing, sapphire-colored eyes.
They were friends since the boy's family transferred in their neighborhood. They were always spending time to each other, helped and understand each other's feelings. But when the time came that one of them should leave, sorrow was the only thing I felt.
"Hikari", the boy said, turning to face the girl.
"……." the girl did not answer.
"Hikari"
"……." still no reply.
"Hikari", he said with a louder voice which made the girl to snap back to the reality from her thoughts.
"Huh?" she said.
"You have been spacing out for a long time. Is there something bothering you?" Ryoma, the boy's name, asked.
"Umm...yeah", Hikari said in a low voice enough for the person she was talking with to hear.
Seeing the uneasiness of his friend, Ryoma tried to comfort her.
"Tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can help you?"
"It's just that, I have something to tell you but I don't have the courage to say it.", came the reply.
"Come on. Tell me"
"Onii-chan"
"What is it?"
"We will leave this place.", she said with a frown.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Dad decided that we will go back to Spain to find a cure for my eyes, then after that, I will continue my studies there", tears started to stream down her cheeks.
Then, there was an awkward silence between the two of them until Hikari broke the silence.
"I'm sorry Onii-chan. I really don't want to hurt and leave you but--", she was cut-off by her friend when he placed his fingers upon her lips.
"You don't have to apologize to me. I understand it.", he said with his very calm voice.
"But still—", once again she was cut-off by her friend.
"Don't worry and stop crying. I want the same Hikari I know. The one who always smiles despite of the trials and circumstances she faces."
Realizing what her friend said, she immediately wiped off her tears and got something from her pocket.
"Oni-chan, please take this necklace. It's my remembrance for you so you won't forget me.", handing the necklace to her so-called brother and best friend.
The necklace was made from pure gold with a bluish diamond crystal, as the pendant that was placed at the center. She had a necklace that looked like it but instead of blue, it's red in color.
Accepting the necklace, Ryoma searched from his pocket a mini, silver music box. He was planning to give it to her for some other time but after knowing that it would be the last time they would see each other, he decided to give it to her now, instead.
"Thank you. Here, a music box. The truth is I was planning to give this to you for some other time,however, I have no choice but to give it to you now."
After saying this, he took the young girl's hand and let her touched it and took it away from his hand. He also taught Hikari how to open it because he knew that she couldn't handle it by herself.
Once you open the music box, a ballerina, made up of porcelain, could be seen to turn around as if it was dancing. It also had a very lovely song sang and composed by the two of them.
"I asked some help from Uncle Soujiroh since I can't rely on my Dad. Always listen to our song when you go there. I know it cannot ease any pain carved in your heart but I still believe it will help you somehow."
"Thank you very much Onii-chan. But please promise me you will never forget me and please wait until I'm back", hooking her little finger.
"I promise", accepting the little finger of his friend forming a pinkie promise.
