Opening Theme: BRAND NEW MELODY by Ittoki Otoya (CV: Takuma Terashima)

~Haruka Nanami's POV~

I won't forget that day. The day I lost my family. The day I lost my freedom. It feels like a note in my music was missing and I couldn't find anywhere I searched for. I want to live a normal life, having a real family would really take care of you. But then, that fateful day, everything changed. It may not like what I want but it filled my heart with hope and love and it's...

My Life, Yesterday

Me and my parents were planning to go this weekend to the amusement park but they had a business trip this weekend so we can't continue as we planned. But my mom promised me that we will go next week and I believed in her. She doesn't break her promises, so I'll wait for them.

While my parents are away, I was then told to stay at my grandma's house in the province. Grandma's house was entirely covered with fields, so that's why even without money, Grandma can eat the vegetables and other crops here in the fields.

"Hey, Grandma, let's play the piano again!" My little I asked.

"Okay... But first let's finish eating so I can teach you more." Grandma said.

"Okay!" I said.

I had to finish my food fast because I want to play the piano again. When I finished eating, I went fast to the piano room. At first, I couldn't get up on the seat but my grandma helped me because I was still a little child.

"So, Haruka, you know the star song that I used to play?" Grandma asked.

"Yes, grandma... Would you teach it to me?" I asked.

"I was planning to so let's start.." Grandma said.

Grandma teaches me the basics of playing it and I learned it after hours of playing over and over again until I noticed that it was already at sunset.

"Oh, I forgot I have to cook our dinner... So continue to play the piano while I cook." My grandma said.

"Okay, grandma..." I said while I see her leave the room.

When my grandma got out, I continued to play the piano with the song of the star song. After a half an hour had passed, my grandma called me that dinner is prepared. So I went to the dining room, took a seat and eat dinner.

After I ate, I went to my grandma's room to arrange my things. Yes, I arranged my things by myself. I also sleep here in this room because I'm not really used to sleeping alone. And then I called grandma:

"Grandma, can you help me take a bath just for this once?" I asked.

"Okay, Haruka, Just wait for me while I finish cleaning these dishes." Grandma said.

"Okay.." I said.

After I took my bath, I changed my clothes and slept on the bed. My grandma covered me with a blanket and said:

"Wait for me, Haruka, I have still some things to do, you can sleep first, okay?" Grandma said.

"Okay, grandma.." I said.

After a few minutes grandma went out of the room, I was sleepy and fell to sleep.

While I was sleeping, I dreamt of something, A dream that I never forget.

There was a red-haired boy singing a song while playing a guitar and I also noticed that I was already a teenager in the dream. We were near a lake and I was holding a music sheet with music notes in it. Maybe someone made it. He was singing with the lyrics:

Smile zenkai de ashita wo mezasou yo
1000% no kansha de peace sign
Sono toki wa iu yo ano ni moji no kotoba wo
Tsubasa no you ni heart ga Fly

Nee afureru omoi ga
I'll make tomorrow with you

And then ended with that.

"Nanami, good job, for sure we can pass the recording test!" The red-haired boy said.

'What test?' I thought. And then my mouth acted on its own.

"Thank you, Ittoki-kun.." I said.

So his name is Ittoki-kun. And then a gust of wind blew really fast carrying the music sheet. My mouth acted on its own, again.

"Oh no, wait..." I said while my body acting on its own chasing the music sheet.

"Gotcha!" Ittoki-kun said after he got the music sheet.

But... Suddenly, he slipped his feet while holding my hand tumbling across the lake side. Until we noticed our position, I was at the bottom and he was at the top.

My heart starts to throb fast while Ittoki-kun leaned closer and closer to my face making our lips an inch apart. He leaned much closer to me making us to...

I woke up... What dream was that? I'm still a 5-year old and I'm dreaming about those things?

I was perspiring so hard even the electric fan was centered to me. I went to look for the clock and I saw that it was 2 AM in the morning so I chose to sleep again but I heard outside that grandma was talking with someone so I went out of my room.

I walked to the living room and saw that grandmas was talking with someone on the phone. I hid myself so that grandma wouldn't notice. And then I overheard their conversation.

"What...They're dead?"Grandma said. "Okay, I will be going with Haruka later because it's already at 2 AM. I'll let her sleep first before I say things to her. Goodbye"

I then appeared myself in front of grandma, ready to ask her.

"Who's dead?" I asked.

"Uh... Do you really want to know? It may hurt your feelings." Grandma said.

"Okay... Ready." I said while taking a deep breath.

"It's your parents..." Grandma said.

My parents... But why? They said that they will be returning next week and they will take me to the amusement park. Why, mom? Why did you break our promise?

Until then I noticed, tears were falling from my eyes. I went to my grandma to hug her and I continued to cry. We cried and cried until we're out of tears. That day, a music note in my life, went missing and was never found again.

Continuation in Op. 2 - My Life (Present)

A/N: Did anyone else like it? I hope anyone does. Even though I'm a boy, there's something that made me watch this anime and took me to the edge of my seat. Maybe it's because of the male harem I guess, but there's more which I can't pinpoint. Anyways, the schedule of the posting chapters for this story is every Wednesday.
