Chapter 3: " The Promise. "

The tune of the music box reminded me so much of my mother. I noticed that my tears were already dry.

I think it's time for me to unpack my things.

I started to unpack my things. I guess father just took the things in my room. You know why? I found one of my old dresses which I already outgrew.

I can see the ' Care ' of my father here, I continued to unpack. When I opened one of the other boxes, The case of my violin was there. There were books about music. " Music.. "

I shrugged off the memory, I took out all the things then I found a cd on the bottom. What's this?

I think that this cd is very old. Hmm, I'm curious on what this cd contains.

Where can I play it? My room doesn't have a cd player.

Maybe I have one, I must finish unpacking my stuff.

After an hour or so I finished unpacking, And luckily I found one. " A cd player. " But the question is, Does it work?

I plugged the plug of the cd player to a socket, I placed the cd and I turned on the cd player. Yes it works!

After some time I hear the melody of a piano and the voice of a little girl .

" Ashita Kuru Hi "

Aki wa mizube ni

Fuyu kozue ni hisomu

Sekai no oku no

Kagirinai yasashisa

The I hear voice of a woman. The woman was the singing the second voice version.

Yoru ga kuru tabi

Inori wo sasageyou

Ashita kuru hi wo

Shizuka ni mukaeyou

Watashi wo michibiku

Tooi tooi yobigoe yo

Hohoemu youni

Utau youni

Hibiku kaze no oto

Yorokobi kanashimi

Subete daite aruiteiru

Watashi no te to

Kimi no te wo

Tsuyoku tsunagu mono

The song is finished and I can hear the woman speak.

" Melody, My sweet child. You have improved, Both your singing and piano skills have greatly increased. "

Oka-san, Arigatou. I wouldn't have done it with out you.

" My sweet child, You must promise me. Even if Oka-san is gone. Even if Otou-san is gone. You must never lose hope on a dream, You see. Hope is what makes us going in life. With out hope, You might as well be dead not physically but spiritually. "

I promise Oka-san.

" Look at your father, Melody. He's really happy. "

Then the cd stops playing. " I broke our promise Oka-san. " Why did I forget?

Oka-san..., I'm sorry. All these years, Like what you've said. All these years I've been dead ( Spiritually )

I lost hope, All these these years, The reason why I feel so empty. Is because I've lost hope on tomorrow, I've lost hope on the future.

I wonder..., Can a promise still be mended?

I stop my tears, I think it's about time to be alive once again. Nobody is gonna help me stand, I need to stand alone, It's time to bring back the old me.

I stood up and wiped my tears, I promise you Oka san. This time, I'll never lose hope.

I looked at the organ in the side. It's time to bring back the music in me.

I walk towards the organ, I sit down on the chair. When I placed my fingers on top of the keys. My hands no longer trembled.

I noticed that it was no longer raining. I opened the door to let the sunshine in, I went back to the organ, I played one of my favorite songs. When I played the song. It was like I was reborn.

My whole body felt refreshed, I was enjoying the music I was making. Once I finished playing the song. I smiled, for the first time after many years.

Music..., My music is back. Tears of joy flooded my face. Now it's time for me to read my music books, So I can remember how to read music notes and scores.

Maybe I should read it outside. I was so happy, That I couldn't contain the excitement of studying music once again.

I went outside of the dorm. I sat on the meadows, I read the pages carfully. Taking in all the information. I noticed how my bangs covered my eyes when I was trying to read.

And seriously I think I should get my bangs cut to it's normal length. Maybe later. I'll cut my bangs.

I continued to read. But I was disturbed by the noise coming from the opposite direction. I stood up and walked to another place.

I passed by a gazebo, I think this is a good place to study. I began to open my book, I took in all the information. Some were quite familiar since I did know how to read music scores. But I forced my self to forget.

" Hey did you know, Masato Hijirikawa was here awhile ago. "

" Yeah. He's so cool and composed, Starish is so awsome. They're taking the Master course alongside Haruka Nanami, Honestly I envy her. "

I eaves dropped, I know it's bad. But hey, I can't stop my ear from hearing. I wonder who that guy and girl 's Master course?

Shrugging off the curiousity building up in me, I continued to read. But then the thought of the man who caught me awhile ago popped in my head. Could it be, Maybe that man was " Hijirikawa Masato. "

Snap out of it Melody, I pinch myself. I looked down on my book, This is the first step towards my dream, My dream has been revived!

I stroked the book, My dream. " I want to be a famous idol and composer. " After that, I'll search for my mother whether she's dead or alive. Wait for me Oka-san.

For once I knew. Truthfully, I held unto my dream tightly. I promise to achieve my dream, I'll mend " The Promise.., I broke. "

To Be Continued...
