Chapter 4: Warm Smile

The birds chirping happily as the mighty sun rise on the earth.. when suddenly..

"A..a..a..ouch" exclaimed by the lazy red haired girl as she fall from her bed hitting her head on the floor..

She looked at the clock .."Its 7:00 am already!" and hurriedly changed to her uniform and rushed downstairs..

She didn't touched her food and run towards the door when her mother called at her..

"Hey sweetie!! Where are you going?.."

"Mom, of course at school.. I'm gonna be late!"

"Well, sweetie, I think you should eat your breakfast first and change your clothes.. It's Saturday today isn't it?.." her mother smiled at her..

Realizing it.. he blushed a bit from embarrassment but thank God its Saturday.. or else..

"yeah right mom.."

While changing her uniform into ordinary clothes.. her cell phone rang..

Kring kring kring..

"Moshi moshi"

A soft and gentle yet cold voice spoke. "Hino-san, its Tsukimori, how are you feeling today..?"

Kahoko flushed red and became nervous hearing Tsukimori on the other line..

"Ano… T..tsukimori-kun.. I'm fine now.. why are you asking?.."

"Well, you passed out yesterday and I took you home.. of course you won't remember 'cause your unconscious then.."

Realizing what Tsukimori had said.. she turned red even more.. "Ahmm Arigatou Tsukimori-kun.."

Yeah, I almost forgot.. how did I end up in my bedroom anyway.. so its because of him..she thought..

"Well, you see it's nothing.. your welcome.. anyway.. if you're fine now, can we continue our rehearsal today.."

"A..alright its fine with me.."

"Then I'll be picking you up there at 9:00 so you won't be late.."

"ahhh.. it---"

"Bye then..see yah.." cutting their conversation..

"Such a jerk!! I'm not yet done talking..hmmp… anyway I need to get myself ready.."

Exactly 9:00am Tsukimori arrived at Hino's house..

Looking from her window, he spotted Tsukimori outside their door..

"Wow, geez he's so punctual.. and im not yet ready.. " Kaho said to herself..

"Ding-dong"

Her mother opened the door and let Tsukimori get inside..

"So what brought you here young man?" Hino's mom asked.

"We're going to have a rehearsal today ma'am.. I've come to pick Hino-san.."

"oh I see.. "

After 15 mins of waiting..

Hino hurriedly go downstairs..

"Oh sweetie, Mr Tsukimori is here for over 15 mins now.."

"I'm sorry Tsukimori-kun.."

She took so long changing clothes here and there.. she cannot decide on what to wear when it is just an ordinary Saturday morning.. well for Hino its not, it is a special day for her.. while giggling and blushing I will be with Tsukimori-kun for the whole day.. I'm looking forward to what's gonna happen to this day.. It's my lucky day.. I know."

She didn't realized that she's been thinking this way..with Tsukimori on her mind..

After so many minutes of waiting.. they took their leave..

While walking..

"Tsukimori-kun?"..

"What?"

"Where are we going?"

"At the school.. students are very busy preparing for the upcoming event so they will spend their weekends to finish everything they could.. "

"Oh I see.." inside her mind… Argggggg, I thought we'll be practicing together.. with just the two of us.. I think its not gonna happen anymore..she sighed in defeat..

"What's the matter Hino-san"

"Oh its nothing Tsukimori-kun.. its just--.. nevermind.."

----------

At the back of the school.. where the 2 big bells are located, the two violinist decided to take the place as their rehearsing venue..

Without any ado.. they started their practice..

They start from reading their lines aloud.. and get opinions of each other as to improve the way they'll deliver the lines..

"Ok let's take a break.. where do you wanna go Hino-san?"

"why are you asking?"

"of course we're going to eat lunch.. "

"ahhh.. yeah right.. you decide, I'm fine with everything.."

"ok, then let's go.."

After few minutes of walk, Kaho asked Len on where he would want to eat..

"Tsukimori-kun, where exactly are we going?.."

"you said you're fine anywhere, so just shut up and follow me.." a cold eyes gazed at her..

she felt annoyed.. but again what would she except from this guy.. for the nth time she sighed in defeat..

after walking with quite a distance.. they stood before a simple but nice little hut near the shore..

"We're here"..Len uttered with a soft and low voice..

I didn't know this guy would want to eat in a place like this.. It's not grandiose like those restaurants were the riches usually gathers but rather it's nice and simple.. perfect place to relax..

"oh nice to see you again Len-sama.. what brought you here together with a fine young lady right there" the old man pointed at Kaho..

Kahoko bowed her head and give the old man one of the best of her smiles.. a warm smile perhaps..

"Well of course we're here to eat the best sushi in town.."

"oh, such a praise! You didn't change a bit Len-sama.. "

After minutes of waiting, the fresh and best sushis in town were served to Kaho and Len.

"Tsukimori-kun.. may I ask you a question?.." breaking the silence that filled the hut..

"you're already asking me a question Hino-san?.."

"ah.. yeah.." Kaho staring on her food...

"What do you want to asked?.."

"ahmmm.. I'm just curious.. how did you end up here and where did you meet the old man over there..?"

"oh he?.. " before continuing, he smiled.. it seems that he remembered a precious moment that no one can take away from him..

"when I was 7 years old.. I usually play my violin near that shore.. pointing outside the hut.. I will play and play until my chin and hands get tired.. and one day after playing one of my favorite piece, I saw that old man walking towards me clapping with a big a smile on his face.. he said that he always hear me playing my violin and he admired it for it was pure and sweet.. then he asked me.."

" are you not hungry young man?"

'I heard my stomach growled as he asked me.. of course he heard it and laugh.. he told me that I should not forget to eat even if I'm too serious in playing.. then he invited me in this hut. And served me the best sushi I have eaten in my whole life.. well that's the story.. "

Then he smiled at me..

This guy has his soft side too.. well he is a human indeed..

I also thought this guy has no memorable experience when he was young.. but I guess I'm wrong..

After we eat, Len is supposed to pay the old man..when he ..

"no Len-Sama.. this is my treat.. "

"arigatou oji-san"

"well thank the lady over there, for I was captured with the warm smile she gave me.."

He then whispered to Len's ears. "As I can see, you can make such a nice couple.." len blushed and Kahoko saw it..

I can't hear what they are talking.. but I'm sure it's quite nice for len to blushed that way..Kahoko thought

Well, after that, they headed back to school.. they continued the practice and this time, they decided to practice with actions..
