RUBY EYES

Chapter 01: Redder than the autumn leaves

The rusted autumn leaves made their way down towards the earth, denoting their deaths. The orange twilight reflected its Rays on the orange trees and the beautiful pond, facing the vast sky with courage though it was just a pinch when compared to it. Birds were returning back to their nests, the raven's song was audible. Children were chasing each other, women were gossiping and there were groups of peers going or returning from educational institutions. The rays even landed on a half-Russian, who was walking along the streets of Japan. He felt nostalgic after looking at the teenagers carrying heavy books on their hands. The CEO wants to be a school boy, though it's impossible for people possessing his nature to ever imagine that.

The streets were desolated in no time, and in a fraction of a second, he noticed that it's high time that he'll have to go back to his manor.

Voltaire went back to Russia, letting Kai to stay with his sister Ayaka. She too studied in the same school as he did but a year younger to her. She has become an engineer, tired all the time.
"Ni-san! Welcome back!" she greeted, twirling his neck though she was choking him.
"Ayaka, as if you haven't seen me for a long time," he gently separated herself from him.

"Seen for a long time. Are you missing Hilary chan?"
'Hilary-chan…'

His face occupied a hundred shades of crimson to that beautiful six-lettered name, no word which is too good to be inscribed in a dictionary. All he could imagine was the same brunette, his classmate who would sit a few benches away from him diagonally. Then turning back her face and winking at him. Her beautiful ruby orbs which are redder than the autumn leaves he just saw, her chocolaty brown hair, her moon-toned face and majestic pink lips. But, above that, he adored her personality, outshining her looks.

She was bossy enough to fume up anybody, but her presence would calm her. Though they both were opposites, they liked each other. Opposites attract each other!

He drown into his own world of bliss…

Come to me, my entirety

You are my seven musical notes

My five great elements

My heart is brimming

Whatever I see is love

"Brother Kai! Brother Kai!"
Ayaka kept waving her hands in front of his eyes. He retained his senses and shuddered.

"What Ayaka?"
"My brother is a daydreamer. Why, got so nostalgic with Hilarious Tachibana?"
"She is Hilary Tachibana, you are still bad with spellings."
"Oh brother!"

Kai didn't respond, but walked upstairs. He took a warm shower, changed to a white T-shirt and black tracts, comfortably dressed. He was free that day, so he went to the restroom and searched for something which was precious in his life, but not as precious as the brunette. After a solid fifteen minute search, he got his school album. He cleaned the book, removing the dust and flipped through the pages. He could see all the pictures of his school cultural events, sports, anniversaries, festival celebrations, artworks and so on. All their lovey-dovey childhood moments were seeming to be alive.

Finally, the class photograph of their twelfth grade came along the way. He could see all his friends. Ray, Tala, Bryan, Ozuma, Kane, Brooklyn, Mystel, Julia, Salima and so on. And last but not least, the beautiful girl having eyes redder than the autumn leaves. Sweet her smile was, so divine and delicate. He didn't blush because he knew that they love each other so much that they feel lazy to even blush.

Kai is just twenty-five, but felt like a seventeen-year old school boy. The first thing he would see is Tyson trying to scare the watchman being interrupted while he would sleep instead of performing his duties. That annoyed Kai very much and a fight would start every day. Kai would kindly tell the watchman to not sleep. Tyson, Max and Zeo were some of his closest juniors, meanwhile Spencer used to be his closest senior. Queen too was in his seniors list, but she was the monitor of her class and behaves badass around her juniors.

He too got reminded of so many love stories going on in his school. Right on the first day, Tala fell for Julia. It took some days for her to recognize his feelings, but she returned them back. But, their love stories were too big to be explained. Another one was between Ray and Salima. Ray was just a guy from the mountain village of China, but Salima is a city girl from Canada. Yet, his personality just melted her heart. Tyson and Akari too had a chemistry going on, and yet Kai welcomed it whole-heartedly but advised his sister to be careful with Voltaire.

Of course, the other guys too had girlfriends but some just preferred being single. Mariah, another classmate of Tyson's used to love her senior Mystel, but she cried a lot on the final day when Mystel left the school after 12th grade, which made Mariah depressed for days. Yet, she moved on with Ayaka's support.

But, all the friendships were the strongest. They often called themselves 'losers' in the intention of irritating any seniors if they were intending to bully them. That was the best moment in their life.
Now, the half-Russian wished that he could live those days again…
He always sensed that there is some deep meaning behind her eyes. Ruby eyes are very rare. Probably he thought that Hilary was the one who gave birth to them.
When she was in kindergarten, her hair was small and she wore a small pig tail. Kai never loved her back then, but that didn't ruin his cute friendship with her. They played together, he protected her from bullies and so on. They had butterfly days.

Exams and tests were other pressures but they tried their best to crack them with ease. That was just a part of their life. But after their twelfth grade, their paths never crossed. All went to study in different nations. Hilary went to America meanwhile Kai in Russia. Now, he doesn't know where she is. He largely wished that he could meet her. She went abroad to do medicine and he very well knew that it could take a few more years for her to complete both UG and PG. But, he got a job. The biggest fear is whether he would get wedded to some other girl, yet he understood that school love cannot come true. But, they loved each other truly, not for show off. They were protective around each other, so they can be destined together, right?

He spent two hours in the stuffy room as his eyes couldn't get off from the photo album. Now, he is twenty-five. His parents will get him married anytime later. Kai feared whether the bride could be of Voltaire's choice.

He realized it was around 8:30 p.m. in the evening. He quickly left the room with the photo album after packing the other things.

Nain: Well, the story is not yet over. We have around four chapters. Don't leave your eyes from this XD. The song which I used is a Tamil one, indeed it's very famous and it's from a movie called '96'. And sorry for this mess di. It was very short but trust us, the forthcoming chapters will be big enough. There'll have some romantic moments of the mentioned couples.
One more news, my guest reviewer called "Kelly", an Italian has joined this site yesterday. Her account name is "I sogni di Kelly". If there is any KaneSal fan here, you can read her stories when she starts publishing them.
Nia: And one more thing, Nain blocked my mouth with a brinjal so that I won't bash any couple XD I am speaking amidst all of them so my voice is a little awkward, damn :\

This chapter was actually typed by Nain, I didn't do anything. So the next one I'll type it XD
And I re-reviewed her Diary entry fic too XD

Do R&R, pardon any errors, take care and stay safe! :D

*Nia and Nain running out*
