You are better now

"Taa daa!"

"A... Coat? "

"I knew you would sign up for the competition, so Here's a coat for you to wear on that day. "

"That's nice of you. "

"^w^"

I think for a moment, this person infront of me, is being nice and friendly to me... What is on his mind? Why is he so nice to me? I can't figure it out. Is it for studies? But my results aren't that good. Is it for friendship only? Or is it... No! It's impossible. But, my mind can't stop thinking and my heart can't stop telling me that I should ask for it. This is wierd, he is weird. There are so many coincidence in our story.

"Why... Are you so nice to me? "

"..."

"Since that day we met, you have been by my side and support me, even wanted to help me, and your being too friendly to me. Why? This curiousity kills me."

"Well..."

What is the answer that I want to hear? What do I expect anyway? Right, I'm being self emotional. What's wrong with me? What is this? Why am I questioning myself? :)

"One day, when the past comes to your mind you'll know the reason. You may have forgotten but I still remember. so, I'm just helping you. "

What? What does he mean by the first sentence? And just helping? What does he mean? This is confusing!

"Alright, sprry I was suddenly asking just now. Should we start day 1?"

Maybe, its true, I was just thinking to much. Is this girl's purberty?

Timeskip to weekends

Its weekends holiday, no plans, I just went out for walk, just strolling. There is no traffic jam, a lot of people on the streets, most of them are women and teenagers. Its weekend anyway, the chit chats in the crowd mix up, you can only hear the sizzling and whispering. In this modern era, mobile phones become everyone's bestfriend, wherever you are, you must bring your phone along. Sometimes is just a toy to fool people around, some people that are obsessed by thier phones will just keep looking down at the phone, no concentration.

*HONK!

"I'm sorry! "

Modern world... A young man who puts on his ears buds and looking at his phone while crossing the road, its a zebra-crossing road. Even so, we should all be careful because even animal were killed when crossing the 'zebra-cross'.

I stop by at the library and have a look inside. The books are newly arrived, the library has gotten better recently, the books updated almost three times a week and the environment is clean and tidy. Not to mention that they make the library more comfortable with air conditioner. Its better than the old, untidy and no updated books library.

"Dream flee... "

A new arrived book. It kinda tells about a teenage girl who is sick of living because of the humiliation and hatred given by the school students and she made her decided to stop school but she went to a place that makes her long lost children memories came back. The story is quite interesting so I spend some time to read through it. I never expected things to happen in such a coincidence.

I saw a book called "An Angel's memory". I wanted to have a look at it because the name of the book caught my attention, but the only problem is I can't reach it, the place where the book was placed was so high. Higher than my height. I end up being on my toes, I felt like I become a ballerina standing on pointes. But no matter how hard I tried I just can't reach it. Just like how hard we wanted to achieve something but its beyone our ability.

Suddenly a familiar shadow from behind cover almost all of me, a hand reached out to the book that I was going to read and that hand slightly touches mine. I was scared, nervous and also shocked. I turn my head to see the figure behind me. Tall and not so skinny, a familiar face that took that book away.

"You want to read this? "

"Ahh, yes. "

"Your here to read? "

"Yeah, its weekends. Unexpected, I thought you didn't read books? "

"I do, but not all the time."

"you spend your weekend on books?"

"I was going to do something but I plan to stop by here cause I met an old friend of mine. "

"Ohh, I see. "

"I suddenly remembered, this is the place where we meet again. "

"..." I think deeply for a moment.

"what do you... Mean? "

"hmmm? "

"Again? "

"Yeah, remember? The time that you hid that book?"

"Ohh, that time. "

WEIRD. This word is all over my head.

I left the library after I read that book a little and so do he. We went to get lunch together at a cafe near there, the cafe is opened recently, so he invite me there to have lunch together. The cafe was decorated wirh beautiful designs, its pleasing to my eyes, also, there are beautiful plants there which makes that place fresh and smell with flowers.

We sat at a table near the window, I was spacing out and I heard a melody of sound flow through my ears. I search for that sound. Where did it come from? Its a misic of an instrument, the black and white theme instrument. There are four kids enjoy playing with the piano. They play the song remember from the pixar movie, coco. Its was a wonderful melody, they play it harmoniously. I look at them with a smile on my face. I enjoy it so much.

Suddenly, the guy who invited me stand up and left me alone at the table. I wasn't wondering where he went. So I continued to look out of the window. What am I thinking again?

"What a coincidence to meet Yang Yi Chuan today... "

*The sound of piano

I realized that this is the piece that my father play when I was 10. I listen to it everyday. If I'm not mistaken, this is the one, the one that I'm hearing it now. I thought this songs is simply made by my father. Why is someone else playing it? How...

Yang Yi Chuan... He is sitting on the chair and placed his fingers, dancing on the piano keys. He is playing the piano. I saw him playing my childhood song in front of me. I was stunned, I can't moved, I refresh those days. Those precious days with my father, I saw his smile his times and his coolness. How great he was, playing with the piano. I can't stop listening, I never get tired to listen. I like it. Thonse days before that incident happened...

Once I woke up from my dreams, I found myself trickling down my tears. I am crying. But why? Its been a long time, and I still can't get away from it. Why? All this time, I waste my time on useless things to get rid of the pain, the terrible memories, what happened on that day, that incident, that day... Why? Now I realize that I am still in the dark, I haven't run from that tragedy, its still dark. 6 years had passed, I have been suffering from that darkness and I realized that I haven't find my way to break free.

"Yue... ?"

That person, called out my name, care for me, ask for me, I'm...

"Yi... Yi Chuan... "

"What's wrong? Why are you... "

"Am I stupid? Why can't I escape from the dark? Why am I alone in that pitch black place? What is wrong with me? Its... Its... Its aftering me... "

"You are fine... "

My heart stopped. Its feels like in that cafe, we were the only ones there, there is no one watching or hearing. Just the two of us. For the first time of my life, Someone else cared for me, what father said before wasn't a lie.

"Really..? "

"You are better now, the way you are now, is a shining star, nothing can over come you, don't be afraid, you got your me by your side, to share your feelings and a shoulder for you to cry and lean on. "
