The Maid and the Maple Leaf (Hayasaka Ai x OC Male)

Chapter 40: Where the leaves fall and gather

Hayasaka's POV.

Subaru: Really?

Mirin: During the start of Fall?

Hayasaka: Yes.

Then I walked past them.

Hayasaka: Follow me. Let's go to certain spot.

Then I lead them, to the maple tree.

Mirin: Of course, Kaedehara-kun's favorite spot in the whole academy.

Subaru: The Maple Tree.

Subaru: So? What's the connection of this tree to your love story?

Mirin: Beside from Kaedehara-kun's favorite spot?

Hayasaka: Well, I didn't met him here.

Hayasaka: I met him in a certain room.

Hayasaka: In the music room.

Subaru: The music room?

I then sat down under the shade while my friends followed suit. I placed the box of cake at the center and began telling them my story.

------------------

Hayasaka's POV. Flashback. 1 year earlier.

I'm currently walking on the quiet hallways of Shuchiin.

Hayasaka: This is nice.

Hayasaka: Peaceful and quiet.........

Hayasaka: No disturbances............

Until I heard a certain melody being played.

Hayasaka: Hm? Is that........? Piano?

Hayasaka: It's almost late.

It's already dusk and twilight is slowly approaching.

Being curious, I looked for the source of that melody. Until.............

I saw a certain door, just a little bit open, I peeked through that small opening and I saw a boy with black hair and blue eyes, playing the piano with pure gentleness.

(A/N: This is the melody that Ryota is playing during the flashback.)

The way his hands gently press each key, the sweet melody playing across the room. His gentle expression, his eyes glistening in the light of the setting sun..............

I was totally entranced by this sight..........

Hayasaka: Woah...........

Words couldn't even describe what I feel. It's just.............

I wanted to stay at this moment together..........
