Life without you

Chapter 1 : Pain

It wasn't painful when you looked away; it was when you decided to leave. I didn't know why. I just wanted to stay with you, knowing that you'll take the pain away.

"No! Can't you see, if this is one beat and this is a rest, it would be two beats for this to make it a full bar." Tsukimori Len explained as he marked down notes onto Kaho's score.

"Huh? I thought that that was too beats." Kaho said curiously. Swiftly, she held up her bow and started to draw her bow on the strings.

Len's eyebrow shot up as he continued to look out for mistakes.

Hmm, good. Yes, keep it firm.

After ending the final note, Kaho heaved a sigh and asked how was her playing. "Not bad though. You've been listening in class." Len replied in a monotonous voice.

"Hey! You should give me some encouragement though!" Kaho said as she made notes to her score. Len rolled his eyes and knowing that it was already 5, he told her that he needed to leave and left abruptly.

How rude! Haa. I still need practice though I've improved.

Picking up her bag, she felt her cellphone vibrate.

I wonder who is calling. Is it Len?

Unzipping her bag, she reached for her phone.

It better be him or else…

"Kaho Chan! Finished you practice session already?" Hihara Sempai said energetically.

"Haha, yes."

"Okay! Meet you at the front gate then! See you in a minute!"

"Yes, see you!" Kaho replied.

Quickly, Kaho closed the door and went out to the front gate.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ah! Kaho chan! Here! "Hihara Kazuki exclaimed and started to wave his arms high in the air.

Noticing him, she ran forward.

Once she had reached, Kaho was already out of breath.

Without giving her any time to spare catching her breath, Hihara Kazuki pulled her hand along.

"C'mon! Let's go! "

"Wait! Where are we going?" Kaho said, trying to hold him down.

"You'll see ." Hihara sempai replied.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Mm! Yummy!" Kahosaid as she licked the ice blue blueberry ice cream. It reminded her of Len's hair and its coldness matched his personality, which would grow cold like a frosty winter. But the blueberry flavor gave a sweet taste and sugary fragrance.

Knowing that it was already sometime where both Kaho and Hihara sempai spend time together. Hihara sempai was like a big brother who would listen to all her worries and answer all her problems. He was like a father who played with her when she was bored.

"it has been a long time huh. Enjoying ice cream together." Hihara said while licking his minty green ice cream which was just like Hihara sempai's personality, fresh and cool.

"Yup. A very long time indeed. Anyway, what's the reason for treating me this?" asked Kaho while staring at her ice cream.

"Its nothing. Just want to spend time with you. He has been taking up most of your time and you haven't been with Tsuchiura, me and the others for some time already. We miss your company already."

"I know. I don't want him to go but I know it would be the best for him though. He would be able to blossom there and it's also his lifelong dream too." After saying that, a drip of melted ice cream dripped onto her skirt. Noticing it, Kaho took out her handkerchief to wipe it off.

"Here, use this." Hihara sempai handed her his water bottle. Opening it, she wet her handkerchief and started to wipe off the stain.

"I'm sure; he doesn't want to go too." Hihara sempai added.

The stain on her skirt started to fade and soon enough, it was cleaned off.

"Yup. Anyway, it's up to him right?" Kaho said brightly.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Kaho started to walk and recalled her conversation with Hihara Sempai. Looking at the drying stain that was left previously, It should be dried by the time she would have reached home. What could she do now? Stop him form going?

But she, herself knew that it was impossible and selfish of her not to let Len go. Kaho knew that it was best for both of them to let time take its toil.

"I shall go first as I have something later on. Remember to practise as I'll most probably want to check on your notes. See you." Len said as he closed the door behind him. Kaho was extremely tired and had prepared to go home.

Before drawing the curtains, she saw Len with his mother with a girl standing beside her. She had amber hair up till her shoulders. She wasn't familiar but Kaho knew that both of them had a mutual respect for each other. Hamai Misa patted Len's shoulder and soon the car drifted off into the setting sun.

A tear slowly rolled down her cheek. It glimmered in autumn light as it dripped and touched the window pane.

I knew when a decision had been made, it's mostly impossible to change it.

That's why I knew that the pain would be there but at least it would be healed like it had never happened.
