Chapter 20- The Plan

Arima Kousei's P.O.V.

I looked up the sunlight as I finished the piece swiftly. I then remembered the sloppy performance that I made in this piece in the competition where she let me played. It was too embarrassing that I wasn't be able to hear the notes that time. But thanks to her, that I was be able to hear these wonderful notes inside me and in my heart.

I suddenly remembered what our Professor told us...

"we hardly think of a negative way to trap ourselves in a situation. But if you think about it the other way around, we can think about the positive thing and forget about your negative thoughts. Negativity may be influential, but in reality, nothing can beat good acts or things."

That's right. I was too foolish to think about stuffs that in fact, the big plot-twist of my life just happened to me.

That Kaori is alive.

I looked at the other side of the building and I saw a person that I was looking up to.

"Kuroma...san." She remained silent thinking about her next words.

"Ano... Kousei-san, if you don't want me here, i will leav-"

"No." I quickly replied before she turned around.

"Then, will you give me a chance to explain?" She replied with anxiety.

"Go on, i'm willing to listen." She exhaled.

"I'm really sorry if I hid such an awful lie. I know you love onee-chan. It's just that there were other circumstances that you cannot know."

"Then. What's that circumstances?" She felt really nervous like she had no idea what to say.

"Look, I don't know how to start it. But I... I just have one favor for you to understand everything."

"Favor?"

"Yes. You see, this would be a long story. So will you give me time for you to know our ultimate secret little-by-little?" So it was a secret.

"Then. You may start now." She breathe heavily.

"You see, we love her, just like you do. I know how it feels to unconditionally love someone, especially when another someone is hiding that person to you. I love onee-chan. I love Miyazono Kaori. She was the one who inspired me to continue my career and my dreams. But the thing is. I don't want her to put in danger, especially to my brother."

"Your... Brother? You mean Kagero-san?" She nodded slightly feeling more anxious.

"Please don't tell him about this." There was a moment of silence after that. I guess it's a reflective moment about what's going on. It's even more complicated every time I think about it.

"I guess, that's all I can give for today. I don't want to pressure you in such complicated things, Kousei-san. That's why I want you to learn about it and accept the truth little-by-little." And luckily, I was convinced enough of what she said. My wrath went down a bit knowing that she's willing to tell the truth. I know that some possibilities would happen when I learned about it without a single warning.

"Thank you, Kuroma-san."

I stood up swiftly to maintain the serious atmosphere. "Actually, i was thinking of a way on how would I ever talk to you. I'm glad you came here."

"Y-you mean... You're not mad at me?"

"Of Course, i'm still mad. But what i'm thinking is..." I posted for a moment thinking about my next words.

"A deal that would make us together again." She blinked like she was really delighted of what I just said.

"Then. What's that deal all about?" I breathe heavily before I started my next action. I hope that what's in my mind right now would turn out great. This is a perfect chance to solve every problems that are intruding my mind.

"I'm planning to make Kaori remember me." I gave her a light smile. That moment I said it, everything felt more lighter than usual. The worries that I was hiding all along was already gone. Finally, I said it. That I still want to get back to them and make her remember me. It's possible. All I have to do is to believe.

"That's... That's great. But how?"

"I will be needing your help though. It would be quite hard but i'm hopeful and determinative that she will remember me." I looked down my black shoes.

"After All, we promised each other that we won't forget. Ever." She chuckled.

"All right then, whatever makes you go back together, just tell me what your plan is and i'll be your support." She looked at me looking reliable and supportive.

Imaroshi Kuroma's P.O.V.

It's great that Kousei-san finally understands me.

But it's not great that I will be monitoring My selfish brother again and again to prevent him to stop our plan. I was so eager to make them together again and hear their music. And now the season is finally here for change.

I can't wait for autumn to come. It's going to be the best autumn of my life.

Time to make guards in-charge.
