Everlasting Passion

I never thought he would be more than just an acquaintance, yet I was wrong. He is more than that. Our story proved the reality.

Everlasting Passion

Noemi’s POV

Here I am in the place that the least I wanted to go. A place that gives me a lot of pain just by looking at this certain area.  How do I get here anyway? I don’t know. Something within me kept in touch to this place; I couldn’t help it but to follow. 

~Flashback~LINK~End of Flashback~

Here I am standing to the place, where I don’t want to see yet what am I doing now? I walked to the side chair and fondled the metal seat on my hand. It’s cold. Spring was in the air though the effect of winter was not subdued yet.

I looked around; it did not change a bit. Without of my awareness I smiled. Do I really hate going here? Does the pain arise again whenever I go here? I think I became pessimist.

No, it was not the pain why do I keep on going here, but the memory of our first meeting lingered in this place.

The café, it was too old yet even a single, nothing had changed. I could even recall Adri and me talking in this certain café. This place played a vital role in our story…

I never thought he would be more than acquaintance, yet I was wrong. He is more than that. Our story proved the reality.

I smiled once more, feeling more contended and acquainted. For the two years that had passed after the incident happened. For the first time I realized what he was trying to imply.

I became blind but now I opened my eyes to see what he had given to me. It never died and left, but only here at my side, waiting to be found once more.

I fondled the silver ring in my finger. Caressing the minuscule fragment of gemstone graved in it. I looked in the sky and made another smile. 

He would always have a place in my heart.

True love doesn’t always have happy ending… Was he said.  –since true love has no end…

Manga Special:


This is the part where Kazuki volunteered to wake the others.
His first stop was Tsukimori and Yunoki's room.
He was trying to wake up Tsukimori but it seemed the lad was still on daze. Kazuki tried to pinch his face but it didn't work. He thought that Tsukimori's bangs were blocking his view that's why Kazuki tied it, thinking that he was just helping his friend. 
Tsukimori went to the bathroom--still on daze, with his new pigtails. He was going to brush his teeth when Azuma found him like that.

Music in his ears

Music in his ears 

A La Corda D'oro Fanfiction by Neko Meow

Summary: After a splendid performance in his recital, Len Tsukimori went to his dressing room and took a rest. He grabbed his phone but just to find 20 miscalls. Who could that be?

      Music cascaded in the place, tones cradled in ever ears of people watching, with amazement and admiration, over the man standing ahead of them. A bow gripped tightly on his right hand and a wondrous music-maker instrument at his left.

With a series of high and low notes in fast movements, as the orchestra resonated and answering every whispers of the violin, the music ended.

     Splash of applause gathered around, thunderous voices cheering and making audible compliment on how good the performance was.

     The man remained standing, bowed his head before taking his leave.

     A man approached him in the hallway. “That was an outstanding performance, Tsukimori Len. You divulged every word on Vivaldi’s composition. Indeed it is stupendous.”

Tsukimori curtly nodded his head in acknowledgement. “Thank you,” he muttered.

     Other guests made their appearances. Music enthusiasts, fellow musicians and acquaintances gathered around him, saying things that the other already mentioned.

     All he could do was to bow his head, respond a simple thank you as he tried to distance.

     For a matter of an hour talking to his acquaintances, Len already gained his privacy inside his unpopulated dressing room, eyes closed and back leaning against his chair. His hand came to contact with the ledge in front of him, crawling until it met his phone.

     Len opened his eyes and grabbed the phone. Pushed certain buttons as his brow twitched a bit. “What?” he muttered, eyes stuck at his phone in bewilderment. “Twenty miscalls?”

     He pushed another button as it revealed his avid caller.  The word ‘Kahoko’ gleamed, twenty times. What could be the reason for his wife to call that much? It didn’t happen before neither when they were just in a relationship.

Whenever he has recitals abroad he wouldn’t let her come. Not because he didn’t want her company yet the matter on hand was tiring. He had to fly to different places for his recital. For him it was already a normal routine but not for his wife.

     He sat properly, dialing her number. Anxiety grew louder in his chest, worry cried in his mind as the phone kept on ringing yet no respond.

     It seemed he waited for eternity before a familiar voice whispered in the other line. Len was going to heave a sigh however something made him stop. “I’ve been calling you earlier…” Kahoko muttered.

In Len’s perspective it sounded unease. Another batch of worry crawled in him. “What’s wrong?” he asked, massaging his temples.

“It’s about Kouren….”

     That very moment, after hearing their child’s name, Len felt a dagger crashed into his heart. “What happened to him?” asked Len about their ten-month old son.

He heard some light noises, some clattering and muttering in the background, accompanied by a louder chuckle of a kid.

     Hearing his son’s voice melted all his anxiety, even his exhaustion eradicated out of his body.

“Honey, say it…” he heard Kahoko’s mumble. It seemed the receiver was rather near at their son as he could clearly hear some incomprehensible words.

“Boooo…” the kid bubbled then chuckled.

“Awe, Honey…come on.”

     He heard another giggle from their son, making his lips to curve into smile.

“Mmmm….P-pa…”

     He hadn’t realized it yet but he was responding on his son’s giggles. Light chuckle left his lips. That would be the first time Len heard him muttered an understandable word.

“P-p-pa-pa…”

“And…?” Kahoko asked to her son.

     Len waited.

“Ayyouuuu!”

     Kahoko chuckled. “Papa doesn’t understand it... say it again.”

“Ayabyouuuu!” the kid bubbled.

“Who?” Kahoko asked to their son.

     The kid chuckled…“P-pa-pa!”

     Len smiled more…”I love you too…”

     He was now very excited to go home….

All I want for Christmas

All I want for Christmas

Kahoko’s POV

I winced a bit; my ears couldn’t take anymore torture. It was simply sweet yet torturous.

Friday night beneath the stars

In a field behind your yard

You and I are painting pictures in the sky

And sometimes we don't say a thing

Just listen to the crickets sing

Everything I need is right here by my side

Mio sang at the top of her lungs, the microphone firmly attached in her hand as though her hand actually grew a microphone on it. And Nao…I sighed. She was not a party craze girl but well, look at her...she seemed having fun.

Why did I end up with this two? Not to mention my other grade school friends and their boyfriends. Great, did they actually mocking me? And there was another boy classmate of mine in grade school. He kept on staring at me. Do I have something in my face?

I glanced at him. “I-is something wrong?”

“No, there’s nothing. I just can’t believe…” he paused, which made my heart to skip. Not that I’m flattered but rather anxious. “You’re more beautiful now.”

W-what? What did he just say? Gosh, my face, am I blushing? No! “Ah-ah, excused me.” I stood preventing that guy’s stare

“Kaho-chan, we’re not yet finish, where are you going?” Mio muttered.

“Ah…I-I’m going to have a walk outside…I’ll be back.” I guess. I continued in my mind.

It was almost Christmas, why did I actually agree in this meeting?

Flashback

I was walking in the hallway towards the music department, every step seemed so heavy and in addition my heart kept on pounding in my chest as though it was the loudest sound I could hear.

I paused for a moment when I heard two people talking.

“Oi, Tsukimori, I am forced to say this to you but Kanayan said if you want to go in the concours’ Christmas party this Christmas Eve.” I heard Tsuchiura-kun’s voice.

“I don’t have time for that.” Tsukimori-kun responded. Somehow my heart crashed into pieces. “I have far important things than to celebrate such occasion with you.” And with that word my heart pulverized.

 “Sheesh, as though I want to see your face there. Heck if you don’t want then don’t I’m much happier if your absence is present in that place.” Tsuchiura-kun turned around toward my place. I panicked a bit, striding as fast as I could go just to hide in the very first place I could hide on. Fortunately, I did hide behind a storage room. Looking anxiously how Tsuchiura-kun passed in my hiding place.

I sighed, walking out of the storage room. I looked back at Tsukimori-kun’s classroom and sighed once more. I was planning to invite him as well. Looks like his busy. I began walking to the general education department. There, I found Mio and Nao, probably looking for me.

“Kahoko, where have you been, we’re looking for you.” Mio clutched her hand at my arm.

“Why?” I forced a smile. I’m still disappointed since Tsukimori has things to do…wait, I’m thinking too much of him.

“Eh! Kahoko, what’s with the blush?” I heard Nao asked me.

“Kya! D-did…you just confess to someone that’s why you’re gone earlier!” Mio squealed making my current state to worsen.

I suspended my hand in air, hushing Mio out. “Neh…I don’t.” half of it was true.

“Anyways, Kahoko…” Nao patted my shoulder.

I looked back. “What is it?”

“You see, our class in grade school organized a Christmas party this Christmas eve, can you come with us?”

I don’t have any plan, my only plan didn’t work so… “Yes, I will. It’s nice to meet them again.”

“Yeah! Thank you Kahoko, be prepared next week.”

“Yes, I will.”

“So Kahoko, we’re going to the canteen, want to come?” Nao butted.

I shook my head no. “I’m not yet hungry.”

She nodded and left with Mio. I was going to go in our classroom when I heard a familiar voice.

“Hino.”

I turned around and smiled. “Tsuchiura-kun.”

“Kanayan asked me to inform you about the concours Christmas Party this Christmas Eve, can you come?”

“I’m so sorry Tsuchiura-kun; I already have plans this Christmas.”

“Awe, that’s bad.” He messed my hair…I could see in his eyes how disappointed he was. Why is that? “The ice cube couldn’t come as well, looks like you two are absent in the party. Anyways, advance Merry Christmas.”

I chuckled a bit. “Merry Christmas too Tsuchiura-kun.” I waved my hand as he turned to walk away.

End of Flashback

I thought joining my old classmates would be fun…yes it was in some way but there are things that I couldn’t cope with them.

“What would happen if Tsukimori-kun doesn’t have plans today and accepted my invitation.” I mechanically muttered looking at the black sky. I was planning to invite him in the park since there’s a Christmas light display and some program…but I guess it’ll just irritate him. What will I expect from him?

I kept on walking until my feet came to halt, my eyes roamed the place. The scene merely gave an ascending lift to the size of my eyes, my heart beat erratically within my chest. “What the…?”

______________________________________________________________________________

Len’s POV

“Len, Len…” I heard our butler, Takumi, muttered behind my room’s door. I frowned a bit. Walking toward the door and opening it.

“L—”

“What?” he wasn’t finish yet when I answered back.

I was playing Wieniawski’s Polonaise Brilliante No. 1 in my violin when he knocked on my door. At first I ignored him as I kept on playing but the continuous knocks made me to stop and responded.

His feature paled a bit, “It’s time for dinner, Len.” I could see in his face the reluctance and fear. I shook my head in disbelief, striding back to my table to put my violin.

“I’ll be there.” I said and he nodded before he took his leave. My mood didn’t impinge these past days, ever since the last class before our Christmas Vacation. I have been planning to invite her but that plan failed.

My face fell down into frown when I sight met the little box in my table. “Why do I keep on thinking about her?” I shook my head again to remove those thoughts in my head.

I went downstairs to see mother and father waiting for me. Mother smiled at me and gestured to the dining. I nodded and followed them.

We sat in our chair.

“How’s the completion going?” father initiated a conversation.

“It’s fine.”

“Those participants are very skilled, I’m amazed with their performance.”

I gave a small nod as my head flew away in my thoughts.

Flashback

I was walking towards the general education department. My head started to throb as my patience draining. Why do they have to stare at me like that? I mentally grunted. They are such unreasonable, haven’t they seen any music department student before.

I was on my way to turn when I heard two voices. The other voice made my blood boils; my coarse instinct merely wanted to jump and do violence to whoever stood in my way.

“Hino.” I heard the grass head muttered.

“Tsuchiura-kun.” She replied.

“Kanayan asked me to inform you about the concours Christmas Party this Christmas Eve, can you come?”

My hand clenched tight, I waited for her answer. A part of me hoping for the word no…

“I’m so sorry Tsuchiura-kun…” my heart leaped a bit. “I already have plans this Christmas.”

What? I almost blurted out but I owe my sealed lips for not doing so.

That, official in that moment, my day completely messed up. Why do I feel very annoyed? It just registered within me. I answered back to myself. I turned around and once more pace toward to the music department. Why did I think of asking her in the first place? She is busy with her family or friends.

End of Flashback

“Len…”

I blinked for a while and glanced at my mother.

“You are not listening.”

“I’m sorry.” I bowed my head.

“I said if you have plans tonight, you may go.” There was glint on mother’s eyes, sparkling but I couldn’t comprehend what it was. All I know that I could get out of there.

I nodded my hand with a light ‘thank you’ before I walked back in my room. At first I was hesitant at first. What will I do in the park? It’s a waste of time since I haven’t invited her. I shook my head again, grabbing my coat. I paused, my eyes fixed at the little box once more. I walked closer and grabbed it, looking and asking myself if I should bring it or not.

What for? I sighed, what’s got into me these days. I pocketed the box in my coat as I walked ahead to the door.

“You’re leaving now?” I heard mother asked.

I turned around and nodded. “Yes.”

She smiled again, even her smile has some meaning but I still couldn’t comprehend. “Good luck then.”

She muttered leaving me all confused as I walked.

For quite a while walking, sight never leaving the ground, I heard a voice.

“What the…”

I lifted my head, if I knew better; I was utterly taken by surprise.

Normal POV

“Tsukimori-kun…”

“Hino?”

They both asked in unison, golden eyes meeting its counterpart, sparkling each one’s reflection.

“What are you doing here?”

Len just stared at her, o shape formed in his lips and vanished right away. “This is the park. I can go here whenever I want, except if I’m not allowed here.” He muttered, his face turned impassive once more.

Kahoko chuckled, realizing how her words sounded illogical. “Yeah, I know that. What I mean is that, it is unusual to see you here. Are you waiting for someone…?” Kahoko paused; her hand flew upward to cover her gaping mouth.

The lad tore his stare from her. “Yes, I’m waiting for someone…”

“Ahm…Tsukimori-kun…”

“Hino.”

They said again in unison. Kahoko chuckled once more while the lad frowned.

“There’s nothing funny.”

“No…” Kahoko shook her head, muffling her laugh. “It’s not it.” She looked at him. “Honestly, I’m planning to invite you to see the program. But I heard you are already has plan, I didn’t know that you’re actually planning to go here.”

Len stared, wide-eyed. “Hino…”

“What is it Tsukimori-kun?”

His eyes still avoiding her owns. “I was planning to invite you as well but I heard you are going with your friends.”

She chuckled again.

“What now?” he frowned more.

“It’s just amusing that we have the same plans but failed.”

“But I suppose, it didn’t actually failed.” Len looked at the stage in the middle of the park. The program started already, huge screen giving the access on what was happening to the stage.

Kahoko nodded and went closer at his side, joining him watched the program on going.

“It’s almost Christmas, everybody, join me…!” the announcer muttered. “MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!”

The Christmas carols played in the place, Christmas lights opened in harmonized with the song, radiating in the place.

Kahoko looked at her companion. “Merry Christmas Tsukimori-kun….” She gently muttered.

Len looked back; his lips curved a little as he responded back. “Merry Christmas.” Len tugged his hand at his coat pocket but just to touch something there. “Hino….”

Kahoko tilted her head in question. “What is it?”

He held her right hand upward, placing it over his own as he lifted his other hand with the box and placed it on hers.

“Huh?”

Len opened it and a necklace gleamed in their eyes. Len pulled it upward and revealed ring attached to it like a pendant.

“Tsukimori-kun…what’s this?”

Len gestured her to lift her hair and that was Kahoko did, looking in question while the lad wore it to her.

“Tsukimori-kun?” she reiterated.

“When you are ready, I hope to see it in your hand…”

Blushed came crawling in her cheeks, her heart hammered up and her jaw hanging low in shock. No words came out of her throat. Only a simple ‘thank you’ struggled to slip out.

For a moment of being flabbergasted, Kahoko spoke once more. “I will, Tsukimori-kun…” she smiled. “Ahm…I forgot my gift for you, c-can I give you something else?”

“It doesn’t matter to me if you do or do not have a present for me.”

“But I want to give you one.”

“It’s your choice.”

 “So…Tsukimori-kun, what do you want for Christmas?”

“My wish….” He looked at the sky, stars sprinkling and bidding their greetings in the earth.

“Mou, I don’t have any money, don’t say anything expensive.”

“All I want for Christmas…” he paused. “Is to be with you…” Len once more looked at her, his eyes radiating the sparkle in the place; words couldn’t surpass how his stares astound her.

Kahoko smiled and held his left hand with her both hands. “Looks like you behaved and become extra nice this whole year…” Kahoko chuckled. “Santa granted your wish….”

“Indeed.”

 “In return, you gain a bonus.” Kahoko’s face lighted in delicate pink, she tiptoed and gave him a quick kiss in the lips.
