AKARU'S POV 🎻

When I was 12 years old, I used to play piano and compete in many competition though I said 'I used to' mean I quit.
After my mother died while I'm competing in Solo pianist competition
well, it wasn't me who decided to quit on playing piano.

It was my father.
I don't really understand why he insist me to play violin instead of piano.
I guess he was just so hurt about what happened to mom
but still...

He wasn't the only one who mourns. I wished he could understand my feelings someday.

I Inherit my piano skills from my mom. We have the same style of playing....
maybe that's why my father stopped me from paying piano.

Now, I'm 18 years old and it's been 6 years since I last saw, touch and
hear the sound of piano.

I spend that day practicing violin and all I ever heard was the sound
of smooth hair bow of horse touching the string of violin. I practiced 24/7
to make my Father satisfied of my achievements.
Still, All I can hear was 'try again',
If my tempo was wrong 'try again',
If I lack vibrato in my sound 'Try again'. I have never been received a compliment yet.

I'm so tired but I keep on playing because I know this is the only way to atone my sin for being too eager playing at the competition while my Mother
was already catching her last breath.
I am so stupid.

After winning the Violin competition I made a deal with my Dad that if I win
the competition I'll transfer to Shinjuku High School.
Shinjuku High school specialized music and Arts track and I'm planning to play piano again secretly though I know It's hard to make plan it in secret.

Month of April
The day of opening ceremony. It's a kind of orientation for 1st year students
and transferees about how the school system explained of.

It's kind of boring actually but there's one hilarious thing happened while orienting.

The President's son of the school didn't attend the ceremony and the one who supposed to make the opening speech...
I mean now can he be so irresponsible for such an event?
I can totally see the people at back stage panicking about what will they gonna do to their speech.

And then, A Male student bravely stand on the stage and calmly deal with the commotion.

"I'm Hyou Fukishi, President of student council, and we sincerely sincerely apologized for such an inconvenience ---- etc."

and the people at back seems relieved seeing that man in stage solving the problem flawlessly. Some of girls in the back seems to like him because
of his cool appearance. I doubt that's not the Son of the President but some people wished he is.

I can't wait to see and play the piano again once the class starts. My Father might hate the idea of enrolling me here while I secretly disobeying his orders.

I will still play what I desire...
