Sonata No Kioku
15-family meetings

I rushed home after the twilight rays rose. But, so rushed I forgot that there was a pile of garbage near the door. As a result, I mired into that pile and quickly tidied back up. When I finished, I took off my shoes and walked towards the living room.

"Okaa-san, uh she means Teresa, I have something to talk to you about. Any second?"

I opened the living room door and found her watching a drama surrounded by a lot of tissue to wipe the hingus. I sighed and closed the laptop screen. Teresa was surprised to drop her laptop on the floor, luckily my hand grabbed her.

"Hueee Ta-chan what are you doing? That's his rame-rame..." He whined while continuing to sob.

"Ah-hah, stop this childish attitude of yours, you are a middle-aged woman whose career is on the edge. You'd better put in more effort in your line of work" I said.

"Wah-wah, Ta-chan, where did you get that disrespectful word? Who taught you that, huh?!" He pinched my cheek angrily but was haunted with lust.

"Sorry I got carried away" I exclaimed.

"So, what do you want to talk to me about" Teresa began to open the conversation after the fight ended in victory for me.

"I want to start a family meeting" I replied

"Surely this is a serious problem, what is it? Have you decided to propose to Haruka and get married after high school?"

"Stop saying things that don't make sense. How could I have thought so far"

"If it's not that, then you're asking to buy something?"

Her cute tone turned serious. He made it difficult for me to open my mouth again because his guess was right.

"Couldn't you?"

"Y-yes.."

"Bought what is it? A book? New music CD? Video games?"

"I... I want a guitar"

"It's not like you already have a yes.... Your old rotten father's"

"It's already broken because you used a tool to fight, right, did you forget?"

He just laughed. Hearing that answer made me doubt that he was a music critic. Did the music critic ruin his instrument? It's beyond a doubt..

"... Maybe because of a girl?" It was just guessing.

"Did? A-not really!" Panicked saying.

"Silverfufu... There's only one reason teenage boys like you ask to buy guitars all of a sudden. Definitely to make yourself cool among the girls right.." he said with a flirtatious face.

"What kind of empty "mong is that? Only a fool would do that!!" Doubt me shame.

"Then say clearly your goal is to buy a guitar! You know the price of the guitar is expensive, not to mention we are saving money this month" he explained smart ass.

I snatched and drowned my head on the sofa.

"If you want a guitar so badly, why don't you come back and work as a critic? Or just join a writing contest?" He gave a proposal.

"No, I don't want to do that anymore *** can get a big wage" I declined.

"Ehh, why? You're good at writing articles." Again he began to whine.

"Because there's no benefit for me. After all, I am also not interested in pursuing the literary world" I replied.

"Cih, even though your writing reaps a lot of positive and famous responses, you do have half the talent of your rotten father yes" he said.

I didn't respond to his talk. As expected that being an accomplice who takes care of family finances is the hardest thing. Every time I want to buy something and it's hard to decide for myself, I always have family meetings.

Despite having a lot of savings, from the past until now I am still reluctant to use the money. Every time I take a little bit from the secret depository, I always think about how the struggle okaa-san gathers this little bit of money.

The woman is very strong yes, even though she has been left behind the most loved and valuable person for her, she can still get up and slam bones for the sake of family...

"Ta-chan's..." Call her.

"What?" My toot.

"Would you buy a guitar, would you seriously pursue it?" Okaa-san tilted her head waiting for a definite answer from my mouth. His gaze was so hopeful that he soon heard an answer that made him convinced.

"If Teresa doesn't let me buy a guitar, I'm fine. Don't think seriously about this" I said.

"That's not it, Ta-chan, I'll give you permission. After that you will have practiced playing guitar, baby if the talent is thrown away"

I bowed while hugging my pillow. Okaa-san's words lately always include my future as well as my talent. Everything he said was always connected to me. Because of that, he looks gloomy every day...

"I'll be serious.but,"

"Then, if a guy does that because he wants to be popular with girls, then it's not a problem!. Right now you have to convince your heart. If you give up in the middle of the road, you won't have a boyfriend for life!" He cut my words off with great enthusiasm.

The words just now sounded silly, but somehow it also felt so convincing. I was silent for a moment, pondering what he just said. His depression was somehow lost and replaced with a passionate spirit.

"For the sake of girls, yes — all of this was originally because of Kanzaki anyway, but my true purpose is to repay his actions only.." My inner self.

"Well, I admit I want to buy a guitar to be popular with girls. So your answer is agree or not?"

"Wahh so right, yes, hearing those words I was so moved, Ta-chan you're a big boy"

"Stop that unclear drama... Disgust know!"

"Ehehe, just kidding. If you want to buy a guitar, in an ordinary place yes and do not forget to use my name when paying. Otherwise they won't give you a discount"

I got up from the couch to the room. Immediately I changed clothes to go straight to the music store today.

"I go to Haruka's house first"my camel.

"What's up? Don't you want to buy a guitar? How'd it go to Haruka's?" Ask.

"Some, go first" I replied, closing the door and walking down the stairs.

🎶

Every step of the stairs I had been exposed to a distinctive sound that made the silence of the afternoon a little more lively. When my feet were on the ground, I was silent and confused about which store to look for. Before this I had a musical instrument, but it was also given by my father and not me who bought it directly to the store.

Once when I was about to buy a new music CD, I visited a music store and there was also a guitar plastered. At a young age, I wasn't so interested in big musical instruments that I just walked away.

Even so it feels uncomfortable to look for a music store that sells guitars with guaranteed quality. Maybe I went through every music store without buying anything...

After pondering for a while, the phone rang with one of Chopin's music. I saw the name plastered and it was Haruka, an unexpected coincidence!

"Wait, if I tell him I want to buy a guitar, he'll take me to the club again... How about." I thought I was hesitant to pick up the phone.

With resignation I answered him too.

📱Haruka:... Moshi-moshi Ta-chan is? What are you doing now? If you're free, accompany me on the road..

📱Arata: What if I don't want?

📱Haruka: Wicked, you are a man and it is not good to keep at home to know!

📱Arata: What's the connection? Oh yes, rather than the road is not clear, there is something I want to ask for help from you"

📱Haruka: Help? Whatisit? In return you must join the music club..

📱Arata: It won't! Look, do you know a music store that is quite guaranteed quality?

📱Haruka: Musical instrument store? Why suddenly gini?

📱Arata: Of course to buy a musical instrument, let alone try. I want to play guitar now..

After answering those words, I regretted saying that to Haruka. I thought it would be like this.

📱Haruka: Is this because of Kanzaki-san's remark the other day?

[Silence does not flinch for a moment]

📱Haruka: How silent? So yes it is...

📱Haruka and Arata: So influence— Not begi—

We both fell silent for a moment while laughing and did not continue the conversation that was interrupted because it was said together. From the phone I was holding, there was the sound of the arrival of the train.

"So he came home from his excursion yes.I remember he had a joint training with another school in the other one"

🌼Note🌼: Haruka actually follows two excules at once. The first, a music club that is not clear of its purpose and the other one is a baseball club.

📱Haruka: Sorry for the noise. Since I'm good, I'll accompany you to the store to buy the guitar.

📱Arata: No need, you'll just pass the excrement later cape again..

📱Haruka: Ah take it easy, the store is not too far away and the store happens to belong to my first brother.

📱Arata: Ahh, that fierce Kirin-san, thank you but.."

📱Haruka: It's a long time ago, the train has arrived, meeting at the cafe near the comic shop subscription when we were small.

He hung up the phone before I expressed my opinion please the shop to go to. Somehow Haruka's voice just sounded hoarse like she wanted to get the flu. I feel bad for him who wants to drive me when he himself is soybean.

"Yosh, after buying a guitar I'll buy it.." I said, who then walked away.

From the window of the apartment where Arata lived, the middle-aged woman was smiling cheerfully at the innocent child.

"You're a big boy, Ta-chan..."
