The Reunion

The scorching sunlight passed through the rustling leaves, twitching his eyelids, trying to regain his consciousness. Haku felt numb, lying on some hard cemented floor, all he knew that was his vision all in blur. All he could feel was the wound on his forehead still fresh, his head aches as he tried to recall every single excruciating details. 'Ouch!' he let out a feeble sigh, trying to get himself up however he could not, vision just fades off again, and everything was in pitched black.

"Arghhh!!! Mummy Mummy! There's an injured boy outside our doorstep!" came a loud frantic squeal as the door creaked open. Haku was shocked however he was too weak to get to his feet, he let out a few pants. "Oh my! Poor boy, Chihiro get your father! Carry him in!" a female voice replied. 'Chihiro!' Haku's ears twitched, he tired to lift up his heavy eyelids, there was this familiar figure infront of him, stroking his head asking, "My! You must have lost much blood! How are you feeling mister?" a soft but a voice that flashed back memories asked in concern.

"Ar... ar..." Haku tried desperately for words to come out, "What do you want Mister?" the concerned voice lean near the weakling. 'It's Chihiro!' Haku thought in excitement. Before he could take another step to express himself, all he knew was that he was lifted up and rushed into a car. "Boy! Boy! Are you alright? I'll send you to the hospital now." a man's voice asked frantically. "gosh! What's going on these days? First Chihiro, now a poor little boy emitting to hospital again." came a mumble.

Haku could feel his heartbeat, pounding in exhilaration. 'I've really come into Chihiro's world! It's Chihiro... I remembered the same fragrance from her lean figure... Chihiro...' he mouthed at the corner of his lips and passed out again.

*after a few hours*

"He's coming round! Chihiro go and get the doctor?" father ordered. Haku opened his eyes, view gradually became clearer. He could hear the commotion going on, he looked up the ceiling. 'Where am I?' he thought. 'Ain't I with Yubaba... Yubaba... 3 sacrifices?' he thought as everything came in dribs and drabs like puzzle. "Boy are you alright?" a familiar face came to his sight. 'He's... the pig!' Haku thought as things came into picture, his status, memories, and disastrous occurrences.

"Ar.... Ar..." he tried to mouthed that he was alright. Words stopped as it flowed through his thorax. 'My voice!' he searched his memory in astonishment. Pictures came into his mind, flashing the evil grins and smile of Yubaba, and the agreement slip.... 'condition 2... you must lost your voice. Condition 3... Sen will lost her memory...' As things get into picture, Haku eyes filled with sorrow, he could feel his eyes watered. 'Why...' he thought. Hiding himself under the blanket trying to expunge the execrable memories out of his mind.

"Boy?" came a concern tone. "Doctor, how's he now?" a sweet voice asked.

"He's alright. However, I sad to say I think he had lost his voice due to shock. Let's leave him to cool down, he must be devastated now." the doctor assured the worried family. "Chihiro, so how are you thesedays? Does your head still hurts?" the doctor turned to Chihiro.

"Yea, I am alright. It doesn't hurt anymore. However, it seems like whenever when I want to recall certain things that seem to be forced thrown away, it will then hurts a little." she exclaimed in assurance. "but, now I'm worried about that Mister. He seem to be about the same age as I do, so young and he has landed in this state. What a poor thing." Chihiro continued as she turned to the soul who was weeping under his breath.

*later that evening*

"ouch!" came a soft scream. Haku was awakened by the little commotion. He lifted his lids which seem tired and saw a lean figure with an apple half peeled. "Hey! You have finally woke up. Have I disturbed you?" Chihiro smiled at the weak soul.

"Hehe... I'm sorry. Actually I wanted you to have this apple, nevertheless, I think I screwed up everything though. I'm always as clumsy as ever, always falling down, always bumping into people all those stuff." Chihiro cracked.

'Bumping into people...' Haku thought looking into her innocent eyes thinking about the first time they met.

"Oh yeah. This is for you!" Chihiro said as she took out a mini- sized chalkboard with some coloured chalks. "I know it's hard for you to accept the fact that you have lost... your voice." she continued as her tone became softer. "Nonetheless, always be optimistic about things alright?" she gleamed.

Haku looked astonished. 'this is the path I have chosen Chihiro... I'll never regret...' he nodded, agreeing to her statement and letting out his first smile of the day. Chihiro was taken aback, totally mesmerized by his smile.

"Well, what's you name? Do you mind telling me?" Chihiro asked politely placing the chalkboard on Haku's lap. He smiled, and wrote - Haku. Chihiro gasped, however she regained as soon as it seemed something had shot her. "Chihiro." She said as she pointed to herself.

Haku nodded with consent, and he drew some funny stuff on the board. A lady with a clumsy act. "Hahahaha" Chihiro blurted. "What's that? It looked stupid!" she continued. "Wait! Don't tell me it's me!" she frowned in disbelief. Haku grinned and nodded in mock imperiousness.

"Waa! How can you!" Chihiro exclaimed, snatching the board away and drew some funny faces. Laughter cracked, lightening the atmosphere.

As the sun set on the horizon, laughter filled the empty heart, giving it hope to carry on and not regret what's done.

'One day you will remember... Chi... no... Sen...' Haku pondered as he looked across the face filled with innocence and vibrance. 'One day...'
