Chapter 3: Flowers

Chapter 3: Flowers

Ah, such a beautiful morning. I get up from my bed, tidy it up, change my clothes then go out. But, when I go out, I don't see Chitose around. I said to myself "Maybe she hasn't wake up." But I think, it's impossible, Chitose always wakes up earlier than me. After that, she will start to clean around and prepares breakfast for us. Perhaps, she is on the living room, cleaning up.

I walk to the living room, which the entrance is not far from my room. I look around, no one is here. Therefore, I proceed to the exit, which connected to the warehouse.

I never open this door before and now, I will open it. I take a peep inside it, nobody there. However, I feel surprise. This… this is not like a common warehouse. This warehouse is very clean and there's a space between one to another things. Not just 1 or 2 cm, but approximately like kid's size. This just like intentionally… Ah, never mind. I still have to find Chitose. My hunger starts to killing me. Now, I will check out the kitchen. Still… no one is here… I feel strange 'Is Chitose still sleeping?' I'm doubt it, but I've traveled all of the rooms in this house.

…….

Hold on… I haven't look over to that room… Yeah, there's still one room left. It's over there…

I walk out from kitchen and walk a bit far from it. On a minute, I already stand up in front of that room. This room is placed between Chitose's bedroom and kitchen. In front of it, is the living room I look over before.

No one, in this house, ever touch this room. I have seen Chitose got in the warehouse, I have seen Chitose came out from the kitchen, I have seen Chitose entered everywhere she likes to, with freely, except this room. I don't know what kind of room this… But, it's like… has its own mystery.

First, I think it's not polite to open this door, but I have a reason to open it. I'm hungry, I just want to find Chitose who will cook breakfast for me. After argue with my mind for a while, finally, I open the door. I think 'It's alright; I just want to find Chitose.'

I try to peep inside the room, but before I could, suddenly I hear a voice comes from my back

"How rude, sneaking around other people's house like a thief!"

I turn around and with angry voice; I said, "I'M NOT A THIEF!"

I see the one who talked to me, a black haired little boy who perhaps has a same age as me.

"Don't you hear what did I say? I said 'like a thief' not 'you're a thief'!"

"YOU…"

I already clench my fist, ready to punch his good-looking face, but stop by Chitose's voice.

"Is that you, Atsuma?"

The unknown little boy and I turn around to see Chitose. Chitose walks to us.

"Toya?" Said Chitose while she is looking at that boy.

That boy doesn't want to see her face. He turned around his face when Chitose called out his name and suddenly run away to his own room; start to lock up himself again. So he is Toya. Ah, I'm embarrassed with that moment… being called a thief by that boy.

"Atsuma, what are you doing here?"

"Oh,nothing…err…just … err just looking for you! But suddenly, I met that boy (sigh). Where have you been?"

"I was from the backyard."

"BACKYARD? Where is that? I never know there's such a room in this house…" I'm a bit surprise, because I never go there before. I even don't know where it is.

"Come with me, I'll show you the place!" she smiles at me.

Chitose guide me to kitchen and through a door near the stove. The door leading us to the backyard. Huh, I never pay attention to this door. Arrive at the backyard, I only can see white snow plain.

"Will you help me?" Suddenly Chitose mouthed and still with her cute smile.

"Sure, what's that?"

"Help me to take care this little flower garden." She is pointing a little garden, full of beautiful white flowers.

I can't get my sight off from these flowers. Very beautiful flowers. Seeing these flowers make my heart feel calm, it's just like paradise. Chitose starts to take care this little garden. I can't move, I have been unconscious by these flowers.

"The name is 'Snow Fairy'."

"Eh?"

"The flowers' name, Snow Fairy!"

"These are very beautiful!" I start to help Chitose.

"Yeah, they are! Do you know what the is meaning of these flowers?"

I shake my head but still look to her. She smiles and said, "It's means 'No matter how difficult live is, 'I' still can survive!'" She smiles to me again.

"Is that so? But, why? Why the meaning…" I look to those flowers again.

"That's because 'Snow Fairy' is the only flower which can grow in the middle of snowy land like this. And do you recognize that these flowers grow with perfectly beauty?"

"Yes, I do… recognize it!"

"It's not difficult to take care these flowers; they can grow by their own."

She silent for a while but her hands still wander around the flowers.

"These flowers… are describing our live. 'No matter how difficult live is, we must survive.' Don't give up! We must look to our future. Don't look back! It's just bring us to sadness, despair, disappointment, hatred. Look sharply to what's await us in front, defeat it! People always have chances. Not only one but many… many of chances!" She said that with a seriously face.

I look to Chitose from the beginning until the end of her words. I never see Chitose's face so seriously before. Chitose knows I'm looking at her, she feels embarrass and said "I'm too much talking, aren't I?"

"No!"

Chitose look at me, surprise with my 'No' word.

"It's pretty cool! I'll always remember that! Hehe. Promise!"

I show my wide smiles to her and she reply with her own beautiful smile to me. And now, we will be finishing this 'Snow Fairy Paradise.'
