Chapter 4

Late in the midnight Akaashi wore his bed wear and took a stand in his balcony. He took a deep breath before stepping in the balcony railings. 

Keiji's balcony is connected to his bedroom located in the 2nd floor of his house. He spread his arms wide open before allowing him to fall down on the rock hard concrete.

It took about 3 seconds for Keiji to fall, however he ended up on his bed. Uninjured, no signs of pain. Nothing. As if it was just a horrible nightmare, but Akaashi knew that he did it in reality it was just this stupid curse that's preventing him to die.

By the time he woke up from his "Nightmare" He checked the time and it was nearly 3 in the afternoon.

"Have I slept that long?" Akaashi mumbled.

It didn't bother Keiji as it was his day off today. He took a shower and proceeded with his morning routine. Akaashi really didn't have the appetite to eat anything so he just grabbed his car keys and walked outside his garage.

Before he went to the cemetery he stopped by the flower shop. As he went in he was welcomed with the scent of the blossomed flowers. Every where you look inside the shop you can spot various flowers like, Roses, Daisies, Sunflowers, Irises, Lavenders, Tulips, any many more.

"Welcome back Keiji" The old woman greeted Akaashi as she was tying a bouquet of flowers.

"Hello Grandma" Akaashi happily replied.

"What can I get you today?"

"Do you have any flowers connected with the colors of Red and Blue"

"Of course! Any specific flower you would like?"

"A flower associated with the words of love and rest"

"Will Roses and Poppies be alright?"

Akaashi let a small nod and released a soft smile to the lady to respond. The lady carefully took the pretty flowers from its vase and went to the counter to wrap it with paper and finishing it off with a nice ribbon.

Keiji then took out his wallet to pay but the lady refused to take the young lads payment. 

"Its okay, you don't need to pay"

"I insist"

"Well I don't" The lady chuckled

"No, please I really do insist"

"You really are a stubborn one"

"Indeed I am, and I will really be grateful for you to accept my payment"

Akaashi and the old woman were arguing for half an hour. Akaashi really wanted to pay for the bouquet of flowers but the lady kept on resisting. So eventually Keiji learned that she will not accept his money and played a little trick on her.

"Hey, Grandma look behind you"

The lady looked behind as Keiji quickly placed the money on the counter and made a distance. The lady gasped and looked back at Keiji.

"I win"

"I really fell for that, I accept defeat" 

The two chuckled as Akaashi bid her goodbye to the Grandma. He proceeded to his car and took a turn directing the Ibaraki Prefecture Cemeteries. Suddenly there was a heavy down pour. People from the sidewalks began running for a shed in order to prevent themselves from getting wet.

"The broadcasters made a mistake on the weather today" He sighed.

He looked backed on the road and noticed that there was a traffic jam. How can this day get any better he thought. He played some music to remove the silence from his car. His car had a mini television similar to a Tablet just stuck to his car, He went to Spotify and go through one of his playlist and pressed shuffle music afterwards.

"This is going to be a long day..."
