Dimension

Part 6

The sweet floral smell fill the room as Takaki gets up and open the window close to the fireplace.

"Kimochi!!!!" Takaki stretches out his hands, breathing in the fresh morning air. There is a huge flower garden as far as his eyes could see, and the beauty of the colorful butterflies flying from one petal to another is just mesmerizing.

This is something you can't find in the polluted earth.

The door slowly opens. Kei-Ty walks in with her everlasting lovely smile, making Takaki's heart melt every time their eyes meet. Under the bright sunlight the lady looks even more beautiful- he never saw anyone looking so pure in his entire life.

"The queen wants to see you," Kei-Ty wakes Takaki from his fantasy.

"Queen?"

Kei-Ty nods. "This way," and she leads the boy out from the room.

This is the first time Takaki set foot outside the luxury room he stayed. Just like his room, everything that he comes across is white in nature. The color makes them look so pure and tender. They turn right at one junction- walking through a tunnel made up of waterfalls. Takaki is so amazed that he didn't get wet walking in the mist of the falling water. He looks down and is surprised to see that the floor is actually made of transparent glass- Takaki could see colorful fishes swimming around happily underneath. The environment is so calm and moisturizing- a perfect place to relax your mind after being scolded the whole day.

They arrive at a bridge with silver floor that gives out rainbow reflections- it feels like walking on a rainbow. The pond underneath is full with various types of lotus. The crystal blue water reflects Takaki's funny face who is absolutely mesmerized by the captivating beauty of nature. At times he could see small- thin golden fishes jump out from the water surface before diving back in. Once again he sees shining purple butterflies resting on the lotuses, making the white lotus change in color for a moment.

From the bridge Takaki could see a garden. It's not just a normal garden. Takaki slap his face hard to make sure that he is not dreaming- and yes, his cheek hurts a lot.

The huge space is full with flowers- mostly white and purple- with a silver fountain with again flowery motif carved on it. The water that come out from the fountain is somehow shiny in nature, and it magically disappear before it touches the ground. They are several big trees at one side, which have a swing at every branch. Takaki could see two little girl sit happily on the swing, laughing and chatting under the tree. At the other side three little boys are trying to climb up a unicorn- yes, it's a unicorn- but fail on every attempt as the unicorn refuses to kneel to allow the kids to ride on it.

Is this the Heaven?

One of the boys falls down on his perhaps hundredth attempt to get on the unicorn. Perhaps due to his frustration for not be able to ride the white horse he starts to weep.

Kei-Ty walks towards the boys. The lovely lady kneels on the green grass, gently pats on the crying boy's head.

"Don't cry over failure. Tears won't do anything," she wipes the boy's tears. "Get up and keep trying. You'll succeed eventually."

The boy rubs his eyes, nodding after hearing Kei-Ty's advice. He gets back on his feet- with the help of two other boys.

"Mina-san... There is someone I want to introduce to you."

Kei-Ty brings the children closer to Takaki who is still standing on the bridge. As the five kids get nearer to him Takaki feels like he has gone back in time- the time when he first enter JE.

"He looks like Yuya," a boy who looks like Yabu is looking at him with a rather fascinated face. "I'm BuBu."

"Em," the second boy who cried just now agrees. His blank expression resembles Inoo. "I'm KeiKei."
