The door bell rang...
Aki went to open the door with a nervous look on his face. " Why haven't you paid the rent , it's been three days till the due date " said Mr Satoshi in anger.
[Mr Satoshi is the landlord]
"Sorry Mr Satoshi I will pay the rent tomorrow " said Aki in a low toned voice , looking disappointed.
Aki locked the door and with a disappointed face he unlocked his phone and was waiting to see if Hana said anything when suddenly he remembered that Hana doesn't even have his number. He muttered to himself " Maybe she o".
Aki took a leave from his work that day and the day didn't go as he planned, he thought of someone as his friend but she eventually dumped him.
In the night in AKI'S dream :
"LEAVE THE BOY PLEASE.LEAVE HIM PLEASE
I BEG YOU.
WHAT MADE YOU THIS , THIS PIECE OF JUNK THIS KID !
PLEA.....(Fell on the ground)
'There's blood everywhere '
(Blank) WAS TALKING TOO MUCH.
ANYWAY FIND THE BOY AND KILL HIM.
Blank.....
Shouting, begging for mercy , BLOOD EVERYWHERE AND "
"Ahhhh ahhhh (Sigh) " Aki wakes up from the dream " AGAIN " in a soft tone. He checked the time and it was already morning.
He is used to these nightmares as these kinds of nightmares became normal from the day his grandfather died and most of the time this nightmare bothered him .
This particular dream bothered him the most as it leaves many questions to Aki whose answers were unknown to this very day, but time after time Ami wanted to know the answers but also didn't as it relates to the death of his only parent , friend - his grandfather.
Aki went to school giving the rent to Me Satoshi and with a pale look he entered the classroom and as usual everybody was busy doing their own activities.
Hana entered the classroom.
She sat on her bench and didn't talk to Aki , He didn't also say a single thing.
In the school's terrace she called him for a conversation.
They both stood silently when Hana said " Why didn't you come to the library ? "
" Library ? Didn't you say , you're gonna come to my house " said Aki.
" Your house I asked you to come to the library , Your Place "
Aki with embarassment apologised to her and the misunderstanding turned to be making their bond more strong.
Hana giggled and said " You're dumb "
They talked about various things and promised to meet in the library in this summer vacations and do their homework together.
After the school Aki went to his apartment and lied on his bed while thinking why the girl who was the crush of the whole class only talk to the weirdo like him , the thought made him blush and the Emotionless Aki started to feel emotions once again .
Aki started to have his feelings for her , falling in love again , making his world beautiful and appreciating the beauty of nature once again . But knowing he have his feelings for her he didn't express it as he didn't wanna loose his friend.
[ The summer vacations started ]
Aki before going to the library was looking at mirror and changing his appearance and clothes , confused what to wear suddenly a thought came to his mind that Hana like the colour blue and the fellow wore a blue shirt and black jeans and went to the library where he saw Hana wearing a blue dress and the beauty of her stunned Aki . Aki went to her and Hana's hand touched Aki's hand unknowingly, his world stopped , the time was moving slowly and the wind slowly was moving Hana's hair , Aki couldn't stop looking at her , his heart pounded like a train when Hana clapped her hand and brought Aki to the reality and as they entered the library and doing the homework his brain wasn't braining , he was thinking about that same thing and blushing with a smile when Hana told him what he was thinking but the question made him more nervous and his face became red .
" Are you okay ? " said Hana with concern and touched Aki's head to see if he has a fever .
" Ahhhhh..... I'm fine " said Aki in nervousness and that made him blush more .
" You're burning " said Hana " let's go to your place and do you have medicines in your place ? "
" I'm fine seriously you don't have to worry " said Aki .
" Shut up and go or I won't talk to you ever again
" said Hana with concern and anger .
" Okey fine but my place is a bit messy " said Aki .
" That's alright but do you have medicines " said Hana .
"No...." said Aki .
" Okey we'll buy medicines on the path and let's go and you should have told me earlier if you have a fever " said Hana .
" I'm sorry... and also I don't have your number how Will I tell you and also I'm fine " said Aki .
" Ohh right ....so let's exchange our numbers and you're not fine , you don't have to be tough you see " said Hana .
They both went to Aki's place with the medicines .
They both entered Aki's place...
