Chapter 10:
Chiaki
I was fixing my hair. I exhaled. This is it, my first concerto with Nodame watching since she lost her memories. I felt that something good is about to happen. I know this would be a success. The orchestra will play Beethoven's Symphony No. 3, Eroica. With this piece Beethoven stepped into the innovative world of symphonies, and with this piece, I am so sure that Nodame would take a step too and remember everything.
Then someone knocked at my door.
"Come in" I said as I brushed my shoulder using my hands.
"Chiaki" Oh, It was Rui. I was really expecting Nodame. Then she came in dressed beautifully. It's hard to admit but Rui is indeed beautiful. "Do you have a minute?"
"Yeah, what is it? Nervous?" I asked her. She nodded, I chuckled.
"Chiaki," she said then I was so surprised when she hugged me.
"H-hey, R-rui, let go okay?" I said as I try to push her away from me softly.
"Just a minute please?" Then I saw the door opened. My eyes grew large, Nodame was staring blankly at us. I can see in her eyes that she too was surprised. I pushed Rui softly, whispering to her that Nodame is here.
"I-I'm sorry, if I disturbed you, I-I'll just come back later" her voice faded. She was about to leave when I rushed through her and pulled her arm.
"I'll just wait outside Chiaki" said Rui, then left the room.
I saw Nodame looking downwards. "A-ano…. Chiaki-senpai, I just wanted to tell you good luck on your performance and-" I didn't let her finished, I hugged her tightly. I was looking forward on this moment that we would be alone and I would be able to hug her tight. I squeezed her.
"Ch-Chiaki-se-senpai…n-no-not..bre-breathing" she gasped. I released her, then I smiled at her.
"I'm very glad you came." I said to her. Then someone knocked at the door.
"Sir 5 minutes left" the organizer informed me.
"I'll be there in a minute." I replied. Then I faced Nodame, she was still staring at the ground. "Hey, look at me" I lift her chin.
"Senpai, good luck ok?" she said while looking at the other side.
"If it's about what you saw awhile back, I'll explain to you-"
"No!" she said finally then looked at me. "I-I-I mean, it's okay. I was just, you know, surprised and I just came here to wish you luck."
"Oh, okay. Nodame promise me, that you will listen to the piece that we will play." I asked her.
"Yes, I will" she replied, then suddenly she hugged me tightly. "Good luck senpai, I know you will do great"
With that, every nervousness, every fear suddenly drained away from me. I know she will come back…
I KNOW..
Will Nodame come back after all? Or its just Chiaki's imagination ?
So another update! :)
Read, Review and Enjoy!
