Hibiya is…. sigh.

From an unknown direction, the melody of “Sunset Koyake” was floating through the air.

The blue sky seemed to be dyed by the melody, slowly, turned into thick orange.

On the bus which was moving along the rough-surfaced road, the passengers were slowly reducing, until I was the only person left.

Although that classmate of mine who just got off the bus isn’t my very good friend, every time  when I’m alone with the Sunset Koyake melody being played, I still felt some loneliness at the bottom of my heart.

I was bored that I started picking out the sponges that were flaring from the seat. I looked out the window again, but what entered my eyes were only lush crops  at the farmland as a background, and old poles that constantly passed through my sight.

No matter what, this wasn’t something that could kill my boredom at all.

I sighed and closed my eyes.

It could be great if I could freely use a mobile phone at this moment.

I suddenly recalled an ad on the TV I saw at my friend’s house, the setting was in a monorail in the big city.

Everybody was staring at their smartphones, as if they had totally entered their own space.

As I watched that through the CRT, for a village kid who held on a huge expectation, it’s already enough. Even those kids who are almost the same age as me, they can even hold their own mobile phones, strolling in the big city, going any place they wanted to go.

I guess they can also communicate their friends to go out and play huh. Even at night they can text or call each other, go online sharing status, or discussing stuffs in a forum.

For this expectation, I even went to the electric appliances shop once when I was on my way home.

At this kind of pathetic village where you can HARDLY spend money for entertainment, I could only save money like an idiot when it comes to new year and receiving red packets.

That me, once grabbed the pathetic saved money, arrogantly saying “IMMA GONNA BUY A MOBILE PHONE!!!” and ran into that shop, and then I tried my best to explain what the heck is a mobile phone to the shop owner who didn’t even know what’s that.

Of course I didn’t get a phone, but I was recommended a really antique lousy phone. Who knows it might benefit me as a life time experience.

…

However.

What life time experience, right now, this situation right now, it doesn’t matter at all.

For that kind of thing, even if I wanna beg for it, who could I beg it from.

If I were to say that to my stubborn parents, they will mostly lessoned me “You still have 20 more years child” and probably just locked me outside the house, letting me to experience the horror of the dark night and the wild dogs huh.

That kind of survival game is really unnecessary. Even if I really wanna buy a phone without letting my parents know, I can’t even buy it here.

It would be great if there’s a chance for me to go to town, but I didn’t even had the chance to go to town at all, not to mention the new year, end of year or even the Obon Festival.
