moment to cherish

did nicol heard me'''i whispered nervously

''seems like it'' someone behind my back responded cheerfully and i turned around to see who it was and got surprised to see gabriel smiling widely at me with his hand on his back

''gabriel!im so happy to see you here''i said as i put shannons earring which rindou had given.to me in my pocket

''ceceilion told me sir glen wants to have a picnic in the park.this fine afternoon is perfect for picnic ''

cecilion did?

''yeah and i'm glad you make it up with reiji.he doesn't really like girls so i got surprised he make it up to you because he doesn't really puts effort on person he doesn't really care about yah know''

he?''i asked curiously

anyways...lets go princess we don't wanna be late''saying that gabriel grabbed my arms and starting dragging me away

where are we going?''

''to get your violin ofcourse''he responded as he stopped to a familiar room

our classroom was empty.i enter the room and gabriel followed me as took my backpack and the violin claudia lended to me

by the way princess.have you seen a guy wearing an unusual uniform roaming around?''i shook my head

is gabriel talking about rindou?i decided to lie to defend rindou sprivacy

yahiro tild me to keep everything related to rindou a secret and i cabt betray him

im sorry gabriel''i thought to my self and before

''ill carry your backpack for you princess''he said and reached out his hand

''er um''you dont hace to gabriel''i shyly responded but he just took it from my hands

there,you can carry your violin and i can hold your other hand''he said and flash a nice kind smile as he reached out my right hand and we began to walk

everyone was staring at me as if i was some kind of princess or something

probably because of gabriel.no matter what gabriel do.he would always stand out not because of his fancy uniform which is different from other students but because of his charming and cute personality

being close to gabriel was luke being close to yahiro

he somehow reminds me of him

my.mind filled with thought,it was a nice sweet but awkward moment and before knew it,we reached the park...i.saw sir glen and the rest having a good time with their instruments and gabriel and i run towards them

good afternoon katarina''cecilion greeted me with a smile and behind was reiji waving at me with a smile

ph it seems like they're getting along now.''good afternoon cecilion,reiji''i said timidly

''howdy campbel,roseblade''he said waving his hand slightly''you two look good together''

''really sir?''gabriel asked cheerfully as his face lit up when reiji stuffed his mouth with a piece of cake using a fork”stop that shimpy ''reiji said as she took another piece of cake with a fork from the saucer on her other hand'' it will trouble katarina''

i giggled as i glanced at the orange sunset at the lake when i.noticed a familiar girl holding a camera on her hands taking pictures of the lake

you play something campbell' sir glenn commanded when he noticed me looking somewhere else

i hesitantly.nodded and tok ny.violin from the case and position the violin

''play gossec gavotte “

''

gavotte/thats claudias favorite?i cheerfully nodded.we used to play this since we were kids but i started to dislike classical music for unknown reason and rufure to do anything related to music....however i still got connection to it so no wonder why the moment i heard nicols music played or the first time i was nostalgic

it's been awhile since the last time I played.I hope I still sounded good.

'' youre pressing too hand on the fingerboard and you're lifting your fingers too high''someone said in a.demanding and strict tone

that voice....i turned behind my back and saw the poker face nicol''nicol you're here!''

''isnt it obvious duh''he responded

i did not responded after that.i still feel bad about what i said about him.i actually think hes a nice guy and i didnt mean what i said at all infact i feel safe having nicol around .it was like ive known him all my life

I picked up my violin and slipped it under my chin as i took a deep breath and began to draw the bow across the string when i heard a violin stopped when I heard another sound... that's when I saw it it was nicol as his music added …it plays so gently so dramatch changing every measure each instrument showing its beautiful difference made my heart race

flute cecilion played and gabriel's trumpet both having different pitches to harmonize and sounded better together reijis cello and euphimias harp both string instruments

both different classical instruments a woodwind a brass,string but overall it was beautiful when combined

i almost cried how far ive come

we all played in harmony and in the same tempi about three minutes later we finished,roses being thrown at us,cheers go wild and clapping could he heard

i hear all the furs say good comments about our performance

''claudia were listening'hi whispered in disbelief as i was cathing my breath as i feel sweat dripping of my forehead''and people were listening as well''i said in surprise as i looked at to bicol whos standing beside me

''our music...it reached her nicol''i said cheerfully

''not just her,but people gathered around here as well''nicol said without looking at me” to appreciate the sounds as they are, in a boundless sonic space''

“Katarina!”i heard cladiua called me out in the crowded looking at me proudly

we all looked at cladua as her camera flashed

The feeling of hearing the voice of an old friend, or a loved one.

That feeling of connection of, ‘being in the moment,’ in unity with the entire world around me, vibrating and resonating in harmony.

A feeling of knowing that actions and thoughts were clean, clear, and pure with no abstractions or distractions.

It’s a feeling of intense wakeful dreaming, of visions and amazement as the song unfolds 

Making music with my hands — creating a psychedelic construction of emotion.

…all of that simultaneously.

A synethete’s delight.

Now I understand what cecilion meant….music trancents words We’re all connected. Just like the notes are intermittently connected. It’s shared by us all. Through music, with the people you know, with the people you don’t know, with all the people in this world. 

i did it claudia...thank you
