Late. Sorry. I have to fix my marks at school. Especially for Math and Physic~~
Nee. For my sweetie (lol), I'm sorry. And for 'you', haha…terribly sorry. Forgive me, would you? Um, dun ask me to give my money~

………………………………………………………………

"…Um…ano nee. Remember about the person who ever harmed me and almost kill me if you didn't come?"

"You mean…that boy?"

"Um, yes…"

"Surely yes! That jerk stupid person had harmed you that day on here! Uh,~. Um, de nee, what's wrong with him? AAAH! Did he hurt you again?"

"N-no, he didn't. I now know who he is…"

"HOEEE? You know who he is? Saa saa, who is he?"

"U-um…it…it was…Erick…"

"H-huh?"

Maria felt surprised when she heard what just Sakura was saying to her.

"N-no way!"

"Um…yes, he was…"

"B-but…" Maria felt hard to say even a word.

"Hai. I remembered about him now. He ever slapped me…screamed at me…and we both felt never met or even knew each other. It caused…he thought that I told his biggest secret to people 'cause there was only me who knew it, besides I actually never said even a word about his secret…" Sakura grabbed her own hand tightly. She tried to hold herself.

"W-wait a second!"

"Hai?"

"Y-you said...it was Erick?"

"U-um, yes…"

"But…that time, Erick was protecting you, wasn't he? I mean, he came after you got harmed by that guy, desho? B-but how come you said if he was-….!"

"H-hoeee~~~? I-it's not our Erick datta yo nee~~~"

"Hiee? So?"

"The 'Erick' I told you just now, is someone who was my friend in middle school. Not Erick…"

"A-ah, 'same name, different person'…which you always said 'onaji namae, chigau hito' in Japanese?"

"Hai…"

"Oh..okay. So, what's the matter with him?"

"Um, he called to my-….."
Sakura wanted to say when suddenly she saw Erick (Our Erick…not that 'Erick'…) was walking. She saw him clearly.

"Ah. Sakura…" Erick smiled at her.

"Hoe? Erick? What are you doing on here?" maria asked him without answered his greeting, 'cause it was only for Sakura.

"Nah, I'm just walking around. By the way, what are you guys doing on here?"

"Um, w-we…"

"AAA! Sakura chan, I have to go now! Nee, I'm gonna go first, okay? Mata nee…!" Maria stood quickly after saw her watch and ran away. Erick sat replaced her beside Sakura.

"So, what are you doing here?" Erick asked with his smile. (hoeee~~~I even can't imagine if he does really smile at me~~. ~)

"U-um….it's about…the boy who ever tried to kill me on here…well, when…you came on time before…his knife…"

"Huh? That boy? Why? Did you get harmed by him again?"

"I didn't. I just reminded something about that boy. He was…actually…my old friend who ever…made me suffer…"

"Oic. Suffer? How come?"

"He thought that I told his biggest secret to people, 'cause the only one who knew that was only me. Because of that, he screamed at me, then said that he won't forgive me. Then, till one day, when there's no one in my house, he came. I was afraid. But when he said he just wanted to make sure something, I let him in. but…in the living room…he slapped me…"

"What?"

"He said then that he won't ever regard me as his friend anymore...and will regard that we never met or even knew each other before. Since that day, he even never looked at my face, even say something though. Besides, I felt so suffer caused by him…so I kept say and wanted to forget all about them. And I did it…"

"Why did he do that to you without make sure the truth? There must be someone who knew it without known by him."

"Hai. I thought the same. But it's useless to say that…"

"But…he didn't hurt you again, right?"

"Um, well, yes. But he called my number last time…and said apology to me for everything he had done. And that's why I remind about those sorrows again…"

Her tears came out slowly. Erick wiped it.

"I…I dunno…whether…I have to forgive him or not…but….but even so…i…"

"Sakura…don't cry…"

'B-but Erick, even so…i…"

Erick then held her, let her cry. She cried slowly…but her heart cried loudly…

All the pain…

All the sorrow…

Back again…being reminded….

Erick back again with Sakura together. But before she entered the gate…

"Um…nee…Erick…"

"Yup?"

"I tried to call him after I remembered about him. But they failed…he even reject the call I made…"

"Say. For what sake did you call him?"

"B-because i…thought that…I wanna..forg-…"

"Go a head, Sakura. You'll success immediately…"

"But…I guess…I have to call him by another number desu nee~~~~~~~~~"

"Because he will rejects your call when he seeing your number?"

"H-hai~"

"Then, if you wanna forgive him, you surely will meet with him someday…"

"E-eh?"

"I'm sure you will. Don't worry." Erick touched her head softy. She blushed, but then smiled.

"Arigatou…erick…"

"So , you know who I am ?"

"NOT YET~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Ah , it's too pity . . ."

"Just tell me who you are~"

"My last day is tomorrow . I'm gonna tell you right away . . ."

"Uh~~~~grandpa~~~~tell me who is this guy nee~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

" . . . . . Ah , you know about your grandpa ?"

"Hoe? Sure I am!"

"But he's died already , isn't he ?"

"Ah , hai. Demo, I felt like he's alive here in my days…"

"Haha . You believe on it so much , don't you ?"

"Hai! Hehe…"

"What kind of things do you know about him, by the way ?"

"Well…he's kind and smart. Then, he respected people around him; no matter they are poor or rich. And he loved his family so much, especially his mom and dad…"

"Ah , surely he did ."

"Yes…"

"Saa . . . you have to wake up now , sweetie . . ."

"H-hoe?"

"Remember , you still haven't finish you homework ."

"GYAA~~~~~! I forgot them all~~~~! Hoeee~~~y-you remind me so much for these jerk things, nee~~"

"Nah , if we wanna be smart , then think smart . Be speechless , but your logic must to be moved ."

"..Hoe? wait. Seemed I ever heard someone said it…"

"See you later . One more left . . ."

*SHIIING…!*

Sakura awakened slowly. She tried to make her vision gets clear.

"Uh, who is he nee~~~? And why did he remind me about THAT JERK MATH AND PHYSIC~~~~~? Geez~~~~~~~~~"
Sakura then do her homework quickly. Luckily, but weirdly, she could do all probs in that book easily. She wondered why, but she didn't think of it too much. She just did her homework right away as fast as she could.

In the morning, at school…

"Sakura chan? Have you finished your homework? I'm sorry cause I could do nothing yesterday…" asked Maria worriedly.

"Huh? haha. It's fine, my dear. I've finished already. Hora…" Sakura showed her the books (both of Math's and Physic's Task Book).

"H-hoee? How come did you…"

"I dunno either, honestly. Just suddenly felt if these questions were all easy. Something has made me think that way, but still dunno what it is…"

"Hieee?"

"Well, well, well, you have finished them all, kid?" Yadid came without say 'hi'.

"Hey, no greeting?" asked Maria and Sakura together.

"Oookay. Greeting. Yo."

"A-ahaha…ohayou.."

"So, you've finished them, kiddy?"

"Oic. Why do you call me that way, huh~?"

"Cause you're a kid LOL…."

"You~~~~~~~!"

"H-hoeee~~~~l-let's just go out of class, sakura chan…n-nee~? A-ano neee….j-jaa nee, yadid san~" Maria pushed her outta their class.

===========================================

Sakura got some proud from the teacher of Math ad Physic. They said that it really was odd for her to be that smart; they meant for the homework.
She just could say 'thank you, sir' and then sat again in the dizziness of the lessons.

"Sakura chan…you didn't watch the whiteboard again, nee~" Maria asked Sakura after the class was over, time for break.

"Uh, I hate PHYSIC and MATH~! And why can't I get the meaning of these formulas~~~~"

"Haha….be calm..you'll be fine, okay?"

"Uh~~~ even though you say that, Maria~~~"

Suddenly, someone called Sakura's mobile. Sakura answered it lazily without seeing the monitor first.

"O-ohayou~~~~? Gomen if my voice sounds lazy cause I'm totally tired right now neee~~~~~~~~~~" said Sakura as the first greeting she gave to the caller. Maria just could to laugh a lil slowly.

"Sakura…"

"Hai~~?"

"It's me."

"Hoee?" Sakura awakened quickly. "Who?"

"It's Erick, Sakura. Sorry if I disturb you."

"HOEEEEEE?" Sakura yelled loudly. Maria felt surprise.

"S-Sakura chan, what happen? Who is that?" Maria got curious. Who is the one who makes her screamed like that?

"Sakura? What happen?" Erick tried to call her.

"H-huh? h-hoee? I-it's fine nee. N-nothing happens. I was just surprised. How come you…" Sakura back again to talk with Erick.

"Nah, just wanna call. How are you at school?"

"A-ah, I'm fine. in a dizziness, at least~~~"

"Oic. Why?"

"These Maths and Physics really did make me stupid~"

"Ic. Haha. Sure, they are…"

"Nee, how're you at school, by the way?"

"Everything goes smooth."

"Alright…"

"…Sakura,"

"Hoe? Yes?"

"…nah, nothing. I have to go now. See you at home."

"Huh? 'at home'?"

"I'll come to your house after your school over."

"Oic. F-for what?"

"Guitar. You have it, haven't you? My guitar is used by my friend, so I cannot play it today."

"Hoeee…o-okay, I'll wait you.."

"See you. I love you."

"I…I love you too."

----Tuuut….tuuut…..tuut….---

Sakura closed her mobile and putted it again in her pocket. Then she sighed for a looong time. maria confused.

"What? What did he say to you, sakura chan?"

"M-Mariaa…tell me if this is just a dream~~~"

"Hoee? Doshita no? tell me, tell me!"

"Erick wants to play my guitar…! Nyeheee…"

"UWAAA….! Kakkoi…! Congratulation…! Hahaha!"

"H-hoe? Sorry? Congrats for what?" Sakura looked at her confusedly.

"A-ahaha…n-nevermind. Saa…..iko?"

"Hai! Hehe.."

_______________________________________________________

School's over. Sakura went home tiredly 'caused of these Physic and Math. She didn't remember about what had Erick said on mobile when he called hers, because the thing she always remember every Tuesday (both of Math and Physic are studied on Tuesday) after school is "REST……….!" BREAK FREE….! Hyaa~~~~~~~~~~~"

But when she arrived in her house…

"SISTAAA! You late! Huh!" Hikari yelled suddenly at her.

"Huh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~? What did you say? Remember what day it is? I have to do physic and math, then made my mind crazy by those jerk formulas, and you wanna just let me die there? Suck~!"

"Huh? don't you remember? I mean…he told you already, didn't he?"

"H-huh? 'he'? who? What?" Sakura woke up from her dizziness, tried to think of something.

Suddenly, someone called at her.

"Sakura? Ah, welcome home. Sorry for disturb you…"

"Huh? AAAH! E-erick?"

"Yes, I am."

"A-ah, hai! T-ta-..tadaima…" Sakura bowed her head quickly and hided her blushing face.

"So, may I use your guitar?"

"Oh, sure you can. Just come into my room…"

"You first."

"Uh, okay. nee, Hikari, where's everyone?" asked Sakura before went away.

"Um, dunno. They're going out there for work. Aunty is hanging out too…" answered Hikari while started to walk into his room. Then Sakura and Erick went into her room.

After closed her room, she pointed him onto her guitar and he took it.

"You allow me to use yours?"

"Sure I do. Just use it."

"…Hey,"

"Hai?"

"Don't you feel mad?"

"For what?"

"I mean, as you know that I suddenly came into your house while actually this is your own break time…"

"H-huh?"

"You said it to your lil bro. Sure I knoew."

"Oh..sore wa nee~~~~~~~~~haha…it doesn't matter..hehe."

"But if.."

"It's alright. Nee? Saa saa, just use it.."

"Okay."

Erick then got a sit on a chair beside her bed. Then he took up the guitar. Sakura saw sat on her bed after putted her bag. She blushed. Before Erick started to play, he looked at her first. She blushed suddenly.

"W-why?"

"Nah, it's nothing. Can I borrow your guitar after this for a moment?"

"Um, of course…"

"Alright then."

Erick played the guitar. At first, he just did one. But then, he played another one, again and again. Sakura who heard him played her guitar made her blushed while smile.

And after that…

Sakura heard Erick played a song. A song she hasn't heard…the melodies are beautiful and awesome…seemed like drawn something inside. Then suddenly, the melodies were slowing down…changed to be cresses…a deep feeling entered. And then turned up again, and down again. Drawn something she thought had ever felt. Dunno whether it a was happiness, sadness, lightness, darkness…
After Erick finished that song, he stopped to play and took a look at her. But then, he startled.

"Oic. S-sakura? What happen?"

Sakura's tears were coming outta her eyes. She realized again, then wiped her tears.

"Ah, never mind. Nee, you wanna borrow it, right? Can you bring it back at night 'cause I wanna practice too…"

"Oh, alright. But you sure you're alright?"

"Sure I am…"

Erick nodded his head. But he felt so worry about her. There should be something happens on here…
Erick thought.

______________________________________________________

Time passed away so fast. When he felt quite enough, he then asked permission to go home. And of course Sakura excused him.

"Sakura." Asked Erick front of her gate before she closed the gate.

"Yes?"

"Don't hide anything from me again."

"Hoee?"

"Nah. I have to go now. I love you."

"Hai. See y-…." Sakura hadn't finished her word, but Erick locked her lip with his for a moment. Then, again, and for sure, she blushed. Erick just smiled.

"S-see y-you…" Sakura let him go.
