( Chapter 6 : The Swings )
Pirika sat depressed on the swings , swinging gently . A magnolia tree spreaded its branches over the swings alike an umbrella . It was very scenic there . A cool night breeze was flowing in the air and it brushed her hair to cover over the bottom left of her face . ( Try to imagine one person's hair being beautifully spreaded , partially spreaded on one's left bottom of the face , in a sort of messy but elegant way . ) The surroundings smelt of fresh , cool air . It was night time though . Exquisitelly made night lamps lit up the dark , illuminating part of Pirika's sad face .
Ren was watching Pirika then silently , and found her to to be very beautiful , his heart was moved . This cheerful , likeable and truly adorable girl , why have I grown to like her ? ( Notice that Ren likes Pirika not because of her looks . I think that look-loving is not everlasting at all. ) This all happened because after the meal , he decided to take a walk in the garden and saw Pirika there , curious he stayed back and watched her . ( But of course , Pirika was oblivious to his presence )
Pirika was not crying anymore , she had recovered quite as so . Now , she just had to think about all of this alone . Her thoughts were still very optimistic and they encouraged her . Pirika was still her cute and delightful self then , just sad .
Pirika thought :
" Hmmmm , I don't like them very much . "
" But nevermind , life still must go on right ? "
" Okay , Pirika , brave on . "
" Say a one , two , threeeeeee and HIP HIP HURRAY ! HIP HIP HURRAY ! " Pirika cheered on recovering fully now . She put both of her hands on her hips and bent her head to one corner in a cute manner .
Ren saw all this , he smiled .
" Hmp , this girl is really fantastic ." Ren said to himself , smiling and shaking his head . ( Please please , don't imagine Ren shaking his head like he has a convulsion . That's not what I meant . It means like as you know in a kind of sighing manner . )
Pirika smiled and went back to sitting on the swings . She had cried enough and had recovered now . She swung highly and freely . She let go of the swing handles and almost fell off , and it was in a high place too . Ren's heart wrenched a little . Then Pirika quickly grabbed hold of the handles and said " hehe . Gosh , that was lucky . " . Pirika beamed happily and continued to swing but this time holding the swing holds . Ren went back to the house .
