the beginning

Hello it's my first time writing a novel!!!

I'm really excited and nervous hope you like it.

"You know every single second one in two

person dies in this world, that's right a second so use your time wisely. time is gold my friend"

   "woah that's a good one " saying that with a big yarn, she gets ready for the day, anna likes to listen to morning podcast those affirmative words is exactly what She needs to hear in the morning.

Anna Mathew an aboard student in Tokyo.

she's half Japanese and American but was

raised in la. throughout her childhood Anna

was never consider an Asian because she

looks just like her father who was Scottish

American. Her love for languages made her

a pro in Japanese and Chinese which led her

to the prestigious Tokyo university life as an

uni student is not difficult for anna it never

was.

 "we are arriving at hongo sanchome station"

"whew... made it in time" it's the busiest time of an year beginning of new semester now I'm freshman to Sophomore "it's going to be good year i can feel it anna said to her self,

from far she heard a familiar voice " anna san" she turned around and saw her friend (yoshita hiramu) one of her closest friend.

"hello yoshi how are you" "Iam good anna san yoshi replied, and he told anna about how he spent his break on his grandparents house in Kotohira.

after a while of talking both took there first class of the new semester.

"wahhh... why do i have to listen to lecture for two hour I'm beat" says Anna's friend (kiyoko kanaka). sweet small and fierce, that's what anna calls kiyoko "don't worry it's over now" yoshi said it with a sigh

it was Anna's normal routine going to uni, attending classes, eating out with friends

"it's a new year but nothing changed"

Maybe it's too easy for me, or I'm too used to it...but isn't that a good thing, Anna said to herself.

This fast-paced lifestyle she got used to it, but sometimes, she wants to go dive at the open sea and never come back from the bottom, because for some reason she felt like she was already sinking slowly...

"this weird feeling..."

"what you call it.....seasonal depression...huh but rainy season is my favorite" anna love raining season, snow season is her heaven but one thing she hate is " summer" she hated it so much that, she used to pray to god to make it rain all day when she was young.

"well a cold shower will do" cheering herself she got off the train and walked her way to the home. it was twenty minutes walk to her home from train station.

while walking she was thinking about what she's going to have for dinner, when suddenly she hear a noise.......

...----------------...

... ...

a familiar sound

She stopped walking to listen to the sound......

"A guitar...well it sounded like an instrument....

Oh!! it stopped now" saying that she started walking again.

 the street was always been quite in the night times.You can hear everything clearly, even the noises from the next street. the sound she heard was from far away.

"It sounded really low...maybe across two streets...also it sounded kinda familiar"

Later that night Anna got home and did her usual routine and went to bed.

"its Tuesday " anna got in the train "yarn.. man I'm sleepy" anna had a nice sleep last night but was still felling sleepy it was kinda unusual for her. "meh.. it's the weather" saying that to her self she puts her earphones on, the song started to play slowly anna started to close her heavy eyelids, slowly....slowly.....

"mom what are you making. I'm making your favorite apple pie. wahh..really really can we eat it now. nopee we're going to have it together with granny so help mama to do the tables. OK roger that"

"it's delicious mama ..ohh I'm going to give this to Mr Fredrick"

"cat's don't eat pie daring" no grandma Mr Fredrick" does" *runs

"oh there she goes she never listens"

"Mr Fred...hello Mr Fred where are you I have your food hello..

what's the sound oh It's a guItar..where It is coming from....that way!!

"dear the cat's is here come inside"

"coming grandma"

* we are arriving at hongo sanchome station*she opened her eyes and realize she fell asleep, she's at her destination, quickly picked her bag and rushed towards the exist.

 After getting off the train to her way to her class, she can't stop thinking about that dream.

"it's the same sound or something similar I'm pretty sure nothing like that happed in my childhood.....bit it was so vivid.... well it was a dream anyway "

saying that she tried to move on, but she had that same dream over the whole weak making her more curious. "sigh...i been blanking out more than usual...that damned dream making my head ache" while she was left in her thoughts a voice appear "anna san"

"anna san you seem really distracted these days has anything happened"

"im fine yoshi it's nothing"

"yoshita kun is right anna san you look really tired and you're constantly blanking out in class that does it sounds like your fine huh"

"well I'm just tired that's it ,don't worry I'm gonna hit the hay as soon as i got home "

"well....it's fine if you say so"

"wahh kiyoko san you're really worried about aren't you"

"of course i am what! are you making fun of me "

"i know i know hehe"

after the exhausting week anna still can't find out what was the dream about or where was the sound coming from. she thought of while walking home 'what if i go check the street out i can find where the sound come from. and who it was'

well Curiousity got the best out of anna .

who are you?

following week anna would visit the street where she thought the familiar sound was coming from, but she found nothing but plain old houses. "sigh....guess you'll never know"

Sighing at her self she continued her daily life with a hole of curiosity.

It was another day nothing out of Ordinary that when she heard the noise again,anna stopped for a second to hear It then she knew It was the same sound, she started to follow the sound where it lead her to the opposite side of the street where she never been before.

the sound paused for a moment then played again, "ha it was guitar indeed" she then walked towards the old minka (Japanese traditional house)where the sound was coming from there, she saw a shadow in the brick walls. she stood there for second then a song started to play.

the song was played well but there was bit delaying like they stopped for a moment to moment, curious about the person she peaked a little closer look where she saw a cold looking face staring at the dark sky holding a guitar, the person face was pale and his fringe covered his eyebrows just right to give him a expressionless look, anna thought it wasn't right to barge in people's houses like this so she quietly leaves the place.

"wah! now i feel relief i hope i don't have the dream in repeat again" satisfied with her self after finding the cause, anna went home and slept peacefully.

anna slept peacefully that day but the next day in her dream she saw the exact same guy where she saw the other day, but he was playing a different song this time confused anna tried to talk but her lips won't move she then try to move but her whole body froze,she then woke up from the dream with a big confusion "ahh you gotta be kidding me, one after one just what the heck is Happening" confused with her self she then started her day like usual, "let's just ignore it it's just bunch of coincidence" after confronting herself she then goes back to her normal schedule.

after a couple of days, she got from uni like usual that's where she hears the sound again "nope not gonna go i want some peacefully sleep" she then proceeds to walk but she stoped because this music was familiar.

"noway!! you gotta be kidding me" so familiar that she heard it somewhere only she can know it, because it's the song her father used to play for her she then walked her way to the old minka it's the same person that she saw that day.

it was the same song that her father used to play but just like before it was bit off like they were stopping in middle of each verse like they forget the keys.

but how does he know this song just who the heck are you?
