Kalma

Happiness, where it all started.

The stage was set for them to perform. The lights were adjusted, the atmosphere was light and peaceful, the crowd went silent for their performance. It was truly unreal.

For it is, it is still just the rehearsal in Akira's living room where the crowd can be carried by one Yamato Louise. Yamato watched both of them very seriously and she mentioned that she really liked what song that they had picked. From Akira's adjustment of the tempo and bpm, until the closing lyrics by Kentarou, she praised them with love and support.

"Wow! Really amazing! I love the acoustic version of this song! Your performance was brilliant Shuutarou-kun!" "It's Kentarou." She hold both of their hands and told them, "you know, can i join you guys? I can help as the back vocals for your team!"

Akira actually wanted to ask Yamato to sing for them in the performance next week, but she thought that it will be much of a burden for her to bear. So hearing Yamato offerred herself to help was a blessing for her, "yeah, i think you can join us Yama-chan!" Yamato then replied, "okay, can you guys practice with me tomorrow at my house? I have a studio there!"

Akira replied, "oh we didn't have to use your studio Yama-chan. By practicing in my house is already enough, plus it is close to the cafe so we can easily rehearse here and there. Thanks for the offer though, i appreciate it." Yamato then said, "okay, it's okey dokey, when do we practice again?"

"We can practice now if you want." Replied Akira with a bright smile. And then they practiced for the first time together, the trio of new friends, actually for Kentarou and Yamato who has never met before. Yamato's vocal was really amazing. Kentarou never thought that the blonde girl has such a mozaic sound, as it is very similar to a diva. "Louise-san, do you perhaps join the choir club before?" Asked Kentarou. "Hahaha, no i never joined any of that things. I just sing through my showers and learned music from my parents taste, that's all."

"And you know Kotarou-kun, when i first put on my bra, i sang a whole bunch of beyonce's song, you know, just to felt adult like! Hahahah." Kentarou was shocked and replied, "ahhh! I see, what an interesting choice of song there Louise-san!" He replied with a forced smile in his face.

Akira knew that both of them can be real friends, or can be close in a distance. Yamato is the same as Akira, so the chemistry will be in a striking distance of the both of them from before. She then mentioned that tomorrow they can practice here again after her shift, which is the same as Kentarou, ended at 3 pm in Kalma. After that, the clock went up to 6 pm where the sun begins to set itself down to let the moon take over. Kentarou then proposed to walk Yamato home, but Yamato said that she already called her driver there and said "no need to worry" the entire time. As Yamato went home, Kentarou left Akira's house with warm greetings and walked back home alone.

His mother was waiting for him to get home, and asked him where he was going. Kentarou told that he went to Akira's house to jam music together with her friend for the upcoming musical performance in Kalma. Her mother then teased him with a cheeky smile, "ohh so you got yourself two girls now eh?" His mother smirked, "who do you pick then? The best friend or the foreign kid? Hahahahaa what a player you are! You must have got it from me!" Kentarou was really uncomfortable being teased like that, but nevertheless he felt happy that his mother is really happy too. It was once in a moment where they met and laughed together like this. His mother would always go to work in the weekdays, even go to another country, so she is seldom at home. He relished this moment and hoped that his mother can watch their performance next week. He hoped that it can make her happier.

So after taking a bath, Akira texted Kentarou in Line and asked him about maybe another music for their performance. Kentarou messaged her that, " there are many songs that we can choose tomorrow. Let's consult it with Louise-san too. I think it will be great."
