Chapter 12 : Kousei's feelings(2)

Kaori's POV

"Miss… who are you?"
When kousei called me miss, I felt something in me just break and shatter into millions of pieces. My tears were on the verge of breaking out even though I knew and braced myself for the worst. Enduring my urge to cry through biting my lips, I walked up to Kousei and asked him.

"Kousei… do you really not remember me? I am Miyazono Kaori…"
Kousei pondered for a long time before replying back to me.

"I am sorry Miss… I don't remember you at all…"

"I see…"

Kousei's words finally made me break out into tears as endless tear drops started to leak out from my eyes and I cried out loud, all I could think of Kousei and I bawled out. Kousei panicked and walked up to me and once he stretched out his hands to try to comfort me, he let out a shocked voice.
"Ah?! Why are my hands so big?! Now that I think about it… you look older than me yet I still can see you eye to eye."

"Huh?" once I heard Kousei's words, a small glimmer of hope appeared before me and I nervously asked him with my voice shaking and breaking from time to time.

"Kousei… ho…how…how old are you this year?"
"I am 12 why?"
I realized that kousei did not lose his memories of me, rather he can only remember the things from up to the age of 12. I began to tell Kousei about everything that had happened, about my relationship with Kousei, how I met him and the others, our dreams that we promised each other and even introduced our new friends that we made in high school.

Kousei blushed when he heard that him and I are an item and had went on a few dates before, but once I told him about Watari and Tsubaki, his eyes shoned and like a curious child, he asked me for the full details, seeing the usual mature and gentlemen like Kousei now acting like a little kid, made me giggle.

I told Kousei that i will call Hiroko-san and that he can continue to play the piano. Beep beep beep, the phone dial sounded and soon after Hiroko-san picked up the phone. "Hi Kaori whats wrong?"
"Hiroko-san… Kousei… he woke up."
"What? That quickly? So how is he?"
"Well.. the thing is…"
I quickly explained the whole situation to Hiroko-san and had her come to the hospital to pick up Kousei.

Hiroko-san voice became serious as she replied to me saying that she would be there soon.

After hanging up the phone, I heard piano music being played by Kousei, he was playing the continuation part for Moonlight sonata from where he left off. I felt a little lonely in my heart seeing how accurately he was playing, Kousei's playing not meant to be like this… it was supposed to be more beautiful and more free sounding, I couldn't keep hearing on and I left the room.

3rd person POV

Hiroko arrived at the scene and saw Kousei Kaori looking into the piano room, as an adult who lived at least 30 years old, she could immediately tell how Kaori was feeling judging by the expression on her face. Hiroko did not say anything, but walked up to the crestfallen Kaori and embraced her in her warmth, she need that Kaori did not need any comfort… but time to gather herself.

Hiroko thought to herself "Why… This two had suffered for way too long, even after so long… Kousei's past is still haunting the two of them. Heavens are so cruel…"

Moments later, no music could be heard from the room that Kaori just left, the door opened up slowly, and out came a boy wearing black specs in a hospital wear. Kousei walked out and saw Hiroko and took a few moments to recognize the lady from his memories.

"Hiro-chan?" The boy asked in a surprised voice,

"You mean Hiroko-san right?" Hiroko said with a smile yet not a smile, one that seemed to contain a chilling force behind it, making Kousei shiver in a slight fear.

"Ye…yes Hiroko-san…"
Hiroko let out a sigh and walked up to Kousei, she reintroduced herself and explained the situation once more to Kousei but this time, with less details.

"Well then, Kousei I will bring you home today and you will rest for a few days until your memories come back."
"Ok Hiro-ch… I MEAN HIROKO-SAN!" Before Kousei was about to say hiro-chan, Hiroko-san gave him a death glare that seemed to be able to kill him.

The day ended after Kousei was brought home.

The next morning,

"Good morning Kousei!"
"Go…good Morning, Miyazono-san."
"It isn't Miyazono-san! Its Kaori right!"
"Yes! I am sorry!"
"Mou…"
Kaori visited Kousei in the morning before going to school, she entered his house and began eating the breakfast she cooked up. Although everything tasted horrible, even after so long Kaori's cooking skills did not improve by much, in fact, it was even worse than before.

"Seriously… how did you even make such a horrible meal… the soup is so sweet and there is not even a single trace of the stock, meat is like charcoal and vegetable are even peeled and cooked, who would even want you as a bride."
Hearing the blunt words of Kousei made Kaori red from head to neck, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole and bury herself in it. Kousei couldn't take it any longer and took the stage himself, although he was only 12, due to his mother being unwell most of the time, he had to do all the house chore himself so he knew how to cook well. Kaori after tasting the meal that Kousei made, she determined herself to be a better cook and swore to be a chef so good that even Kousei would want to constantly eat his meals being a picky eater he is.

Kaori left for school and told Kousei to behave himself until she gets back and she left.

Kousei now had nothing to do decided to play the piano to kill some time. He walked up to the piano room, and walked into it and took out a score that he found on the floor, it was the score piece encounter that Kousei and Kaori had been working on for a long time.

"Hehhh…. This score looks nice, I wanna try it! But wait… it looks like it is a accompanied by a violinist. Violinist… urgh… what?"

Kousei's head started to throb in pain as he felt like his head was about to burst and explode, some parts of his memories began to resonate with the score that Kaori and Kousei made together, simply to put it, The score is making Kousei remember his lost memories.

"Ka…Kaori…" Soon after the throbbing stopped and Kousei collapsed on the floor.

Meanwhile in school…

Everyone heard the news of Kousei being hit by a car and seeing Miyazono Kaori walk into the classroom, whom everyone knew was Kousei's boyfriend, they all walked up to her and kept on questioning her about Kousei's well-being especially Takeshi. Kaori had to deal with them and it made her very tired, once it all ended and everyone's questions was answered, hiroko-san started Homeroom and class began with an attendance check by the class representative. Without Kousei, everyone seemed to be very quiet, Kaori and Kousei would be the one to start am argument, followed by Emi and Takeshi who will then challenge Kousei to a piano battle, Kanade and Takemaru will comment on their views of Kousei and Kaori being two idiot couples and then the idiot couples will blush making everyone want to tease them. With Kousei not around and Kaori feeling down, no one was going to tease her just in case she took it seriously and will feel even more down.

Class felt forever for Kaori as Kousei is not around. When it finally ended, she ran to Kousei's house immediately and opened the door to his house.

"Kousei? Are in you?"
No responds, she worriedly searched the entire area but Kousei was not anywhere to be seen, when she finally entered the piano room, to her horror…

30 mins later…

"Kyah! Arima-san so handsome!"
"Hey Arima-san can you make my heart go bloom as well?"
"Hey hey girls… I am only a human , I can't change the seasons for spring, but if I am allowed to, I wish to bloom the flowers in your beautiful heart…"

Instantly every single girls' heart in the park was shot with a cupid arrow as Kousei flattered them with flowerly words that would be unthinkable for him to say if it was the old him. Kaori arrived to the scene and saw Kousei acting like a professional Casanova and felt as if she was about to vomit in disgust, she walked up to him and called out to him.
"Kousei! So you were here!"
Kaori angrily walked up to him and was about to hit him. Yes, Kousei wasn't in his house at all, when Kaori walked into the piano room she to her horror the room was in a mess, every single score was on the floor and the room was in a mess what's worse, a letter was obviously left on the piano in an envelope when she took a look inside, by the handwriting she knew it was Kousei, but the words written were like it was from a different person, which said that Kousei is at the park waiting for her.

She took her bag, wore her shoes and quickly ran to the park were Kousei was waiting only to see him flirting with other girls from other schools probably even younger than him… maybe middle school? It made her angry and she walked up to him bringing her to where she is now. Before hitting Kousei, she questioned him sternly making the other girls around her hate her.

"Kousei?! What is this all about!"
"Hey who are you? Get away from Arima-san!"
"I am his girlfriend! He called me here!"
"Nooo! Arima-san is that true?"(All the other girls)

He didn't say anything but nodded, he then held Kaori in his embrace and left after saying.
"Bye bye beautiful flowers… I hope you will bloom even more when I see you next time."
"Kya! Arima-san please come back soon!"
When they arrived home to Kousei's house, Kaori no longer wanted to question Kousei as she knew after a while that Kousei's personality changed and he wasn't wearing his glasses anymore making him look very handsome. Kaori sighed and repeated a quote in her head. In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on. ~Robert Frost. Kaori wasn't expecting such an event to happen but she just accepted it and tried to help him recover his memories, never did she expect that it was although short, it was one of their most beautiful memories, or in this case for Kaori her most beautiful memories they will ever make.

Kousei made up a meal for the both of them and they ate it quietly unlike how they normally eat. Kousei could no longer take the silence and started the conversation.
"Hey Kaori-chan… why must you be so angry? I just flirted with other girls…"
"Don't talk to me Kousei. Until you know your mistake…"
"Damn…"
Kousei tsked and just walked up to his room, when he left, Kaori really felt like crying, it was Kousei… but yet it was not him. It was an uncrossable bridge that separated the two and it truly shattered her heart. Although she promised not to cry, her tears was about to leak out and thus, pain and despair was against them, it felt as if the world was against them. Kousei needs to remember his old self and it will heal both her and him as well as make it in time for the Festival.

4 more days left… can she do it?
