The Summer We Never Had (COMPLETED)

Chapter 12: Commotion

Chapter 12: Commotion

I woke up feeling very upset.

No.

Let me rephrase it. I didn't wake up cause I haven't slept yet. My whole system is on trigger mode and my eyes can't feel any exhaustion. I am still eager to find my dreamcatcher. I've searched it in every corner of our house, looked at the possible and impossible spots where I might misplaced it. I did my best for hours but still no dreamcatcher appearing! I even accused Seika for hiding it since she's a crazy ass and it's possible for her to pull a prank on me. She strongly denied it but I have a feeling that she has an idea where it is. I can sense guilt on her aura and eyes.

Today is April 18. The upsetting feeling I had since yesterday was leveled up with the horrible feeling for Asahi's death anniversary. I need to find that dreamcatcher cause I want to see Haru and even hoping to have a glimpse on Asahi's appearance in the dreamworld. Even from his impostors. Seeing his face would console me. But now, I am as hopeless as shit. Things aren't teaming up with my wants and plans. I really hate this day!

"Iyang kape mo Sumi, lumalamig na. Inumin mo na." Mama shoved her hand in front of my face, making me pay attention on her. I nodded lazily and looked down at the cup of coffee in front of me. In normal boring days, I would always drink my coffee as fast as I can but days like this can be exemption. Nakakawalang gana!

"Mahahanap mo rin 'yon. Kumain ka na," dugtong niya bago umalis sa kusina. Natapos na silang kumain pareho ni Seika pero heto ako't di pa rin makausad-usad. Nasaan na ba kasi iyong dreamcatcher?! First time kong maiwala iyon. I really have a feeling na nakay Seika iyon but I don't want to offend her. I can't trust my exaggerated accusing instinct. It had brought me in trouble for many times. I might offend Seika if I pushed her more.

I lifted my spoon full of fried rice and chew it languidly. I didn't know how I managed to finish it all. I was spacing out for the whole time and my head was aching due to frustration I was feeling. I just came back to my senses completely when I heard screams and shattering sound outside. I put down the plate on the kitchen sink and washed my hands hurryingly.

I walked fast towards outside when I saw Mama and Seika hiding behind the large and tall leaves of a plant in our front yard, peeping their heads outside our gate like spies. I automatically diverted my sight at the direction they were looking at and saw Haru and Mrs. Fujikawa. They both looked angry as they threw unclear words at each other. I also saw that their glass windows were broken and pieces of those were scattered on the ground. Their whole front yard was a mess. Plants were all detached from their pots.

I just withdrew my shocked eyes at them when Mama pulled me towards their direction which was a blind spot. Seika was sitting while Mama and I were standing. Our eyes were focused at the fight of Haru and Mrs. Fujikawa. This was my first time to see Haru scowling. He really looked mad while Mrs. Fujikawa was almost turning into dragon, ready to emit fire at any moment. They were both scary! I didn't know that Haru could get mad looking like that. He was flaming handsome! But it was also alarming seeing them like that. What could be their problem?! Our other neighbors were also outside their houses, speechless while watching the two fighting. Kulang na lang ng popcorn! Others were trying to stop them but the mad woman was ordering them to not come near her or else she will hit them with can sprinklers!

"Nakakatakot talaga si Bruha, my goodness!" bulong ni Seika na napapangiwi habang pinagmamasdan ang mga nag-aaway. I hit her head lightly and she exaggeratedly reacted! I just rolled my eyes but it also stopped midway when I felt my throat went dry.
