What that Summer Breeze had Started?

Chapter 2: Distress

**CHAPTER 2**

"Ku-chan, do you know? I once had another friend; he's funny too, or so I thought. Even though he feels weird, I find it funny how he can laugh hysterically, how he can control every single muscle in his face, and make a big smile. Every day we talk a lot; about how beautiful her sister is. We also talk about her sister's whereabouts. He has so many weird stories about an angel's death. It's funny. Until the next day, I found his toy knife in my kitten's chest. I don't know if it was him who did it. My kitten was cute, lovely, and soft. Whoever did that was a madman. After that, I never got to see him again. That makes me convinced that he did it. I felt sad at that time, then you found me. I trust you more than anyone, so, please, don't leave me like he did, okay?"

"AAAAAAA---" "Ano yun??" "Panaginip lang ba iyon?"

Since that day, I felt weird. As if; parang amnesia patient na bumabalik ang mga alaala. Everything seems new to me. I even sliced the potato into two kahit na ako lang naman kakain, how I readied two lunch boxes kahit na ako lang naman mag isa pupunta sa school. I feel very different compared to last week before I saw that envelope. Di ko pa binuksan yung envelope. The letters at the backside was handwritten and looks familiar. I should get some help from someone, but I can't. I feel like this envelope has something to do with me. I think I can get help from my friend since he's rich and marami siyang koneksyon. I wonder if the owner of that envelope was still looking for it. I feel so disturbed. pahinga ko muna ang isip ko.

While I was walking down the streets to go to my train station to the school, I heard a voice calling to me. "Hey, Ku-chan! Go back; delikado diyan!" I immediately ran from where I'm standing. The bullet train passed past me at an astonishing speed. If I didn't run forward, I would've been dead in that instance. It was the same faint voice I've heard dun sa rooftop nung araw na iyon. It felt very nostalgic to me as if I've harked that voice kahit isang beses sa buong buhay ko. And thus, nakapunta ako sa school by riding another train. As usual, ang ingay ng mga classmates ko. I was thankful that I brought my earplugs today with me. 

"Hey, Chrome-chan! Do you have free time today? If you have some spare time, I'll show you something!" "Oh, Akazuki! Yeah. Why not?" that's what I said, but I need to find how I should return the envelope casually. But I thought, "This is a good opportunity to try getting advice from my only friend." So as long as I can get info, it's okay.

*4:00 pm sa Nivva Cafe*

"Oh! Nandito ka na!" 

"What's up? You must've some big news to call me out here." 

"Ipapakasal na ako next month!" 

"Ano??" I must've made a weird sound there. 

"Gusto mo pakita ko pic niya?" 

"Yes, gimme."

Tinitigan ko ng mabuti.

"Wait, isn't thi-"

"Yes, that's our school's Miisaki Murasame."

Wait, this isn't right-. I have a weak feeling that this isn't reasonable. Di ko alam kung bakit. 

But, I feel something telling me na pigilan siya.

"Hey, Chrome-chan. Inggit ka ba?" Sinabi niya sa mapang asar na tono

"There's no way that could happen-"

"Shh~" He interrupted me before I can finish my sentence.

"Well, I'm off." He said that in a happy tone while grinning. 

In his backpack's slightly opened zipper was a red knife. Katulad iyon ng nakita ko sa panaginip ko. That sight made me freeze with fear; I get the feeling that the red colored knife isn't quite the same as in my dreams; yung kutsilyong yun ay totoo at matulis. Gusto ko sana magtanong kung anong gamit nun sakanya. But, just the thought of asking him sends chills up to my spine. I wish that it was just a hallucination. Maybe it was just my gifted imagination going wild. Sana nga.

*In him lies a strong curiosity, this leads him to take urgent actions in the future*
