/RINGGG!!!/
I placed my hand on the alarm clock.
07.30 A.M.
I rolled on my medium size bed for a while, lazily start to wake up and sit on the edge of the bed. I have to prepare myself to go to school like usual. I get up and then look at the photos I collected yesterday on the small table besides my bed. There's that photo, the photo of Yamada Ryosuke's back figure. Since that evening, I want to meet him again.
After took a bath and dress up, I walked out from my house and walk towards school. My school located near the all boys' school, Mikata Gakuen. Since our route is same, I often see some students from there. I lost my thoughts when suddenly a hand patted my head,
"Ohayou, photographer-san!"
I looked up and see that Yamada Ryosuke boy. He smiled widely and then dash up to catch up with his friends. I'm just standing on the same spot, "What was that?" I said.
"MARIAA!!"
I looked at the source of the voice,
"Nana!" I replied her, then we start to walk to school together.
"Ne, Maria, do you have plans after school today?" she asked.
"Eh? Well… I think no..."
"Jaa let's go together! I wanna try to go to the new cafe besides the station!" she answered excitedly.
"Un!"
After school
Momoiro Cafe
"Maria, what do you want to order?"
"Strawberry cheesecake, you know I love strawberry so much right~" I answered.
Not long after that, the bell above the front door of the cafe rings, signaling there is customers come in. I saw 2 boys come in with Mikata Gakuen uniform.
"Irashaimase! Please follow me to the tables."
Both of them follow the waitress and walk to our direction, then I saw that one of them is that Yamada Ryosuke.. Again.
"AH! DAI-CHAN!" Nana suddenly shouted to one of the boy.
I surprise cause of Nana's sudden reaction, I looked at the boys, then me and Yamada's eyes met.
I heard someone shouted Daiki's name, well not exactly, it's his nickname. There, I saw 2 girls, and one of them is that photographer I met before.
"Dai-chan, hisashiburii! You're in Mikata Gakuen now?" one of the girl started the conversation.
"Un, you get to Sakurakawa too? Hee, you're smarter than I thought!" Daiki taunted.
"Urusai! I think the same too about you!"
In the end, we sit in the same table with the girls, I sit across the photographer-san with Daiki besides me,
"Let me introduce, this is Yamada Ryosuke, my classmate and he's in the same club as mine so we're a close friend now."
"Yoroshiku onegaishimasu." I replied politely.
"I'm Minase Nana, me and Dai-chan used to be in the same middle school. And this is my classmate, Kanazawa Maria." she introduced her.
Maria. So that's her name.
After we ordered, Daiki and Nana chat with each other, while me and photogra- I mean, Maria just stay silent, sometimes playing with our phones.
"Dai-chan, do you still like to paint? You're pretty good right?" Nana asked.
"Nah, I'm interested in soccer now, painting is just a hobby lately." he answered.
"Ah souka. By the way, Maria's really talented in painting too! I saw your unfinished one in your room!" Nana suddenly look at Maria.
I look at Maria too, her face suddenly turn pale. I'm kinda suspicious for it.
"I'm not really that good. I already stopped painting anyway" she answered.
"Eh why? You should continue it, you're talented, ne, Maria~" Nana continue pursuing her.
I saw Maria's eyes are getting teary. With that, I stand up and hold her hand, asking her to exit the café.
"Gomen, me and Kanazawa-san have to get back first. You guys can eat the cakes."
Then I run to the nearest park with her. When we arrived, I let her sit on the bench.
"You alright?" I asked her.
I don't hear any reply from her, instead, I hear a cry.
She's crying, all of sudden.
"Oi, Kanazawa-san daijoubu?" I asked her again, a little bit panic. Fortunately, there aren’t so many people in the park that day.
She's just can't stop crying. In the end, I sit beside her, then put her head on my shoulder.
After a few minutes, she stopped.
"Gomen.." she finally speak, lowly.
"Painting... It was everything for me.." she finally started to tell me. I just sit there, ready to listen to her story.
"My grandfather taught me. He was a really talented artist. I love painting because of him. I won many contests because of him. It's all because of him. I love him so much."
But then, her voice cracked again,
"But when I'm about to show him my new painting, he was already in the operation room. He suffered a serious disease. The doctor couldn't save him. I lost him." her tears are flowing again. She closed her eyes, "That was when my passion for painting gone.."
I'm speechless with her story. I then hug her, tightly.
"You're a strong girl. It's okay if you don't want to continue it. Just follow your heart." I whispered to her.
It's just.. I don't want to let her cry or sad again.
Words that Yamada whispered to me makes me calm down. His hug… It's warm. After a while, he stopped hugging me.
"Let's go. I'll take you home." he said.
"Daijoubu, I can go home by myself." I refused him. "Thanks for comforting me, Yamada-san." I thanked him.
"Ryosuke. Don't be so formal~" he smiled.
"Then call me Maria too."
We then walk together to our house. Ryosuke said his house is in the same way as me.
"Maria~" he called me suddenly.
"Nani?"
"Don't ever stop taking photos. I really love your photo."
I surprised and blush. Why he suddenly said that?
"Don't lose your passion!" he then patted my head again.
"... Wakatta." I replied him.
He then smiled,
"My home's this way. Jaa ne, Maria!"
"Un, thanks for today!" I replied him.
He then wave at me and walk towards his home.
I also continue to walk to my house while thinking why my heart beats so fast right now. I never get this feeling before.
Hmmm, I should ask Nana about this tomorrow.
