Chapter 11

She Knows

Reina

"I've learned that waiting is the most difficult bit, and I want to get used to the feeling, knowing that you're with me, even when you're not by my side."
Paulo Coelho, Eleven Minutes

Shuichi

"For a long time, she held a special place in my heart. I kept this special place just for her, like a "Reserved" sign on a quiet corner table in a restaurant. Despite the fact that I was sure I'd never see her again."
Haruki Murakami, South of the Border, West of the Sun

Katlin

"Knowing someone isn't coming back
doesn't mean you ever stop waiting"
Toby Barlow

Maria

When you love someone, you feel that no person is more attractive than the one you love. You don't even notice the presence of other people. Your whole attention is concentrated on that special person only.

Shuichi

"...unrequited love does not die; it's only beaten down to a secret place where it hides, curled and wounded. For some unfortunates, it turns bitter and mean, and those who come after pay the price for the hurt done by the one who came before."
Elle Newmark, The Book of Unholy Mischief

Kumiko

It's hard to love someone who loves someone else. You have to ignore the pain and swallow your pride just to be a friend. But somehow in the end, it's all worth it cause friendship lasts longer than love.

Bella

Everlasting friends can go long periods of time without speaking and never question the friendship. They understand that life is busy, but you will ALWAYS love them.

Aurora

When we first talked to each other, I knew we would always be friends. Our friendship has kept on growing, and I'll be here for you to the end.

Yesterday the word kumiko said

Asuka Senpai, Natsuki senpai everyone….

Hmmm… maybe you already know. What Shuuichi say to you...

I'm sorry...

But I can't ignore this anymore, the way you guys been looking to bass section.

And seeing me crying I can't ignore this anymore...

But, Can you keep it a secret, to what Shuichi said…

Don't worry, It's not what you think is it?

I just need something to do…

Please, I'm here in front of you, begging to just forget what Shuichi tell you

I'm here in front of you guys, to clear this misunderstanding…

I know this will be too long… but…. I will talk to my parents so I can go back as soon as possible...

What are those meaning behind? I mean why she said those word.

Kumiko what is the secret message behind those word

At time being forget about what she told us yesterday. I can't wait to see her face. I'm so glad were staying be friend again.

I'm waiting for my train today, I'm so happy and excited to see her face today.

Nutcracker Suite

Radetzky March

After the class has ended I go to the place we're I can practice without anyone will interrupt me, because someone been saying bad things about me and Taki sensei, There's nothing between me and him, why? Why do they have to say those word, they doesn't even know anything.

Tsukamoto kun, I want to ask about Kumiko,

Kawshima san, Katou San, Kumiko must be enjoying his father performance..

I'm sure, Why you guys asking for..

I'm just asking if you knew about the necklace and the ring.

Oh, about that I just happen to know, yesterday when we see her go..

She tell me about it.. But sorry I can't tell, she's wearing it.

Then, can you make a call for her,

Sure.. why not.

Really? You heard it, Hazuki..
Thank you tsukamoto kun..

It's okay, since kumiko told me.

Eh?

Kumiko told me this, Shuuichi "I know, hazuki and midori will asking you we're am I or asking you more about the necklace and the ring. So please don't you ever. Said to them..

But they asking about how am I then, call me.. I will pay the phone call they using.."

That's way I can't say no..

…..

…..

…..

…..

…..

Connecting to international call..

….

….

Video call

Hello? Shuichi?

Kumiko? Katou and Kawashima san wants to talk to you.

I'll leave my phone to you guys and give it to me when you guys done

Okay, thank you

Hey Guys,

Kumiko

Seriously stop crying for Aphrodite sake..

Kumiko..

Okay, so how's the concert band doing right now?

We're not on the room, Kumiko..

Sorry.. Were are you guys right now.

At the field. Seating..

Hahaha

Kumiko?

I'm Sorry…

So, were are you, right now, Kumiko..

At the rest house..

Kumiko, Midori and I, been serious here..

I'm also being serious here

Sound of the trumpet

Who's that?

It's Kousaka san

Huh!

It's Kousaka san

Kumiko..

I said it's Kousaka Reina san..

Dvořák "From the new world"

TheNew World Symphonyis for me, above all, a journey — Dvorak's journey to America, getting to know its people. But more importantly, it's Dvorak's own spiritual and emotional journey: from his intense longing for his beloved Bohemia to the thrill of the "new world" and its varied peoples, to thoughts of going home.

When all the melodies return at the end of the symphony, I feel as though Dvorak's American adventure has come full circle. The end reminds me of an old film where the last scene is frozen and the circle of the lens closes in until a black screen is all that remains.

Kumiko, you really do love to saying something incredible fact.

Nope, just a little research.. (o_o)

And also The "New World Symphony's" best-known melody surfaces in the "Largo" movement, with its aching English horn solo. It was later adapted into the song "Goin' Home" by Harry Burleigh, a black composer whom Dvorak befriended while in New York. But I'm always moved by the church-like chords that come before that now-famous tune. In a stroke of innovative genius, Dvorak brings these opening chords back at the climax of the finale, where all the melodies from the symphony, reappear, transformed by the journey.

Kumiko, When will you going back here..

That will be when father, done his tour.

Do you think, that's I'm going to tell you guys..

I'm so sorry but, I'm here in Capri, Italy right now

What are you doing there?

Taking some rest.

Kumiko.

I just need to clear my mind, and set new beginning, I promise to go back.

So, don't worry to me, I mean don't worry.

I forgot, would you mind

I forgot something very important to me at the club...

Can you guys say to Shuuichi to take good care of it?

What did you forgot something important?

It's not like you, Kumiko...

My bad, maybe because I want to hurry, and go home...

So, just tell to Shuuichi. Please, Hazuki, and Midori

Okay.

Thank you..

See you soon..

Yes, see you soon..

Trying to figure how to say to Kumiko

Hello, How are you?

I'm fine, Reina

How about you?

I'm not okay

Kumiko about last night I'm sorry

It's Okay, Reina I love you..

Kyahhhh!

Kumiko I love you too

Daydream

"Every cloud has a silver lining."

When someone is about to play the guitar someone shutting saying

Azusa chan? So I rejected an Invitation.

Kumiko, I love Taki sensei,

Love? So you do love him?

Don't repeat it. You're embarrassing me…

Sorry

But Taki sensei doesn't know how I feel.

He never favor me in the audition.

That's why I can't believe she'd start complaining about our adviser at the time like this

I agree.

About what?

Thank you..

For what?

For saying, about the relationship between you and Taki sensei.

Kumiko? Sorry..
Sorry for what?

I said terrible thing to you, and I even saying cruel thing..

I just come to realize, When Tanaka senpai slap me..

Hahahahah

Kumiko, Stop laughing..

Someone say bad things about you, Reina..

It's sad how some people are so jealous and intimidated by you that they only have negative things to say when they know absolutely nothing about you.

Reina, "Don't waste your time with explanations:

People only hear what they want to hear."

Kumiko…

I routine to you, I know you can..

Kumiko when will you go back..

Hmmmm… I don't know.

Kumiko…

I'm sorry, remember, Rumors are carried by haters,

spread by fools,

and accepted by idiots.

Ahahahahha

Now you're the one laughing at me..

But I can't seems to relax..

How about this one.. Ahem…

Kousaka san

Oh Tanaka senpai..

Who's on the phone?

Kumiko?

It seems she's preparing something..

Click the loud speaker, come on

Okay..

Sorry..

Ahem..

It's been a while since I play my guitar..

But? Your guitar is…

It's here..

Then, Kumiko, the guitar that Takagawa senpai is your…

Yup!

Here is it..

Sometimes you think you'll be fine by yourself
'Cause a dream is a wish that you make all alone
It's easy to feel like you don't need help
But it's harder to walk on your own

You'll change inside when you realize

The world comes to life and everything's bright
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend
The gift of a friend

Someone who knows when you're lost and you're scared
There through the highs and the lows
Someone to count on, someone who cares
Beside you wherever you'll go

You'll change inside when you realize

The world comes to life and everything's right
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you define the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in the gift of a friend

And when your hope crashes down
Shattering to the ground
You, you feel all alone
When you don't know which way to go
And there's no signs leading you home
You're not alone

The world comes to life and everything's right
From beginning to end when you have a friend by your side
That helps you to find the beauty you are
When you open your heart and believe in
When you believe in
You can believe in
In the gift of a friend
In the gift of a friend (4X)
