Chapter4:music and comfort

A week had passed since Honoka had met Maki although she had promised to go to Maki's house,she didn't really go until Maki came to her house to pick her up , together they went to Maki's house and played there until it was late in the evening ,This became a common thing to do,sometimes they played at Honoka's house ,or they helped out Honoka's aunt to sell her flowers.

Everyone could see that gradually Honoka was becoming more and more cheerful,she was acting more like a normal 5 year old child than the depressed girl she was before meeting Maki

Even Honoka's grandmother who had come to stay for a few days with them was surprised to see Honoka so cheerful but not so much after hearing after hearing the reason; "'So that's why "'.

Honoka's aunt and grandmother were sitting in the living room."yeah, from the time she met Maki, Honoka-chan has been cheerful she has been going to her house to play with her, her aunt explained drinking her coffee

"That's great, looks like she's getting over the depression of her parents leaving her here."

Yeah, i just hope she stays happy" her aunt responded.

"So where should i keep this" a voice asked. Both of them turned to look at Honoka wha was carrying a bunch of lilles .

"Oh keep it in this vase dear, her aunt pointed to a glass vase Honoka nodded and went to keep the flowers in the vase

It was a peaceful afternoon, in the nishikino residence, a beautiful music of piano could be heard from a room.A redhead was playing the piano, while a ginger leaning against the piano had closed her eyes listening to the music a small smile was present on her face .

Although Maki had many interests Honoka learned that playing the piano and singing was among Maki's favourites, so she requested Maki to play it, Although maki wanted to refuse she realized it was a way to get Honoka to become more friendly with her, so she agreed.

"You like the piano a lot don't you?" Honoka asked looking outside the window.

Yeah i do, Maki said sadly which did not go unnoticed by Honoka, just as she was about to ask what was wrong Maki replied

"'Mama said that i must become a doctor after growing up, so i can take over the family hospital, so I should study Medicine in college."

Now Honoka understood Why Maki was feeling sad "So maki-chan can't follow her dreams i guess everyone has thier own share of problems."

"I'm sorry Maki-chan but you really play well, i wish your parents will allow you to have a career in music"

Maki did'nt respond,she went back to playing her piano after sometime " Hey Honoka-chan, do you want to pick up some cherries" she asked suddenly.

Honoka who had been leaning against the piano suddenly stood up straight as if waking up from a dream " Huh? Cherries ' Honoka asked confused as to why suddenly Honoka mentioned them '"talk about really random topic'.

Maki nodded.

"But are there any cherry trees in your garden? She asked.

"No but there is a cherry tree near the foreast, so shall we go get some?

Okay let's go"" Honoka said cheerfully she was happy that Maki was back to her usual self, she knew that leaving music completely will be hard for Maki, but maki looked happy while playing it a few minutes ago, she just hopes Maki enjoys the present where she can play the piano until hrr parents allow her to and just maybe they will realize her dream and allow her to continue Mysic

We're here" Maku announced snapping Honoka out of her thoughts. Honoka looked ahead to see a cherry tree and to thier delight it was filled with the red fruit.

"Wow that's a lot of cherries Maki chan!" Honoka said observing Maki's basket which was almost full.

"'Yeah i want to give mama and papa a lit of cherries' Maki responded happily, Honoka who had been smiling the whole time suddenly frowned after she heard Maki say that which did not go unnoticed by Maki

"Hey Honoka-chan is something-"

"Maki-chan" Honoka said cutting Maki from finishing her statement." Do you like your parents"

"Of course! I love mama and papa very much". Maki replied " why? Dont you live them too"

"Not really! They left me and only took my sister with them , telling that there are no schools there, i mean how is it possible if dad can find a job there can't he find a school" she said tears starting to form in her rubbed them away and hugged Honoka

Honoka was surprised " Maki-"

"I know you have been through difficult times Honoka-chan , but i'm sure your parents had a proper reason to do this, don't hate them, give them a chance Honoka-chan i'm sure they will come back to you. "

"I don't know Maki-chan, i'm still very upset that they left me".

"It's okay, Maki said releasing Honoka from her embrace " Time heals wounds, i'm sure you will have a happy family again, you just have to wait." She said and then holding Honoka's hand " your aunt is here for you, your grandmother is here for you, my mom dad all are here for you and she squeezed Honoka's hand a bit before telling "and i'm always here for you."

Honoka just stood there while Maki went to the place where they had kept thier basket" now come on let's take these cherries home before any of the birds or animals steel them away."

Even though she had tears in her eyes Honoka smiled" yeah," she wiped her tears " let's go home."
