(Part 2)
"omg!!! Chunyo !!! Miracles do happen ya ?!?!"
Sohmi exclaimed and shake Chunyo back and forth until he couldn't take it and screamed at her.
"Oi !!! I am ripping apart soon..you mad woman!!!"
"Opps, sorry...i was too happy..."
"Woah, didn't know such a quiet girl like you can be so rough ..."Chunyo teased.
For the next 5 weeks, Sohmi went to Chunyo's house everyday for "piano lessons" after school. In the past, everyday was mundane to Sohmi. However, after the brief encounter at the pavilion that day with Chunyo, everyday was filled with surprises and happiness. Even her classmates stopped calling her "mute girl" ! And more important, she has the chance to learn piano. Not from any teacher in town, but from the person she yearns to be with.
"Okay, that all for today. Not long before you will be able to finish Fox Rain."
While Chunyo was closing the ledge of the piano, he noticed that Sohmi was standing there staring at him with teary eyes. Feeling worried, he walked up to her and asked...
"He...llo? Are you ok?" Chunyo waves his hand infront of Sohmi's face.
But still, there was no response from Sohmi.
Suddenly, Sohmi leaped towards him and embraced him tightly. Chunyo's face became so red until it resembled a tomato's ! It was then, Sohmi started talking...
"I am really grateful for the things that you have done for me. Without you, those jerks in school will still bully me. Without you, i will not be able to learn the piano. Without you...i think...my life wouldn't be as happy as it is now..."
"Do you know it's the same for me? If it's not for you, i don't think i am who i am now..."
For a moment, Sohmi was puzzled about what he had just said. But, she couldn't care much about that now. All she knew was to cherish this rare oppotunity to embrace the person she like. What's more surprising was that Chunyo didn't reject her, instead he embraced her as well.
Happy times are short-lived. The sudden click at the main door startled both of them. As the door opened, two figure stood there.
"Mum! Bro! You are finally back !"
"Yes son..and who is she???"
"Ohhh, this is Sohmi, my classmate. This is my mum and this is my sworn brother, Enho"
"Hi auntie..and hi..."
"Just call me Enho will do." Enho said and smiled at Sohmi.
Being polite, Sohmi nodded her head and shot back a smile at Enho. Chunyo's mum on the other hand was looking at Sohmi from head to toe. There wasn't even a sign of friendliness in her eyes. That really frightened Sohmi.
"I think i better head home now..if not mum will start nagging again. Bye auntie, bye Enho and bye Chunyo." Sohmi said and smiled sweetly at Chunyo.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at Sohmi's house~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mum, i am back !"
"Ah girl, don't run to your room yet. Sit down..mum wants to talk to you"
So, Sohmi and her mum sat at a couch nearby and began chatting.
"Erm...i know that you have been going to Chunyo's house for piano lessons..."
"Yeah, why?"
"From tomorrow onwards...don't go..."
"WHY?! Don't be like this, mum...pls?"
Sohmi's mum did not utter a single word. She just sat there and kept quiet.
"IT'S MY DREAM EVER SINCE I WAS YOUNG MUM ! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?!" shouted Sohmi as she stomped her way into her room
"Sorry ah girl, mummy has my own reasons..." muttered Sohmi's mum to herself.
Back in her bedroom, Sohmi still couldn't understand why did mum say that to her. Millions of reasons ran through her head but none of them seem to be the answer. Suddenly, Sohmi remembered that everything her mum did was to protect her from getting hurt, whether physically or emotionally. Despite this, Sohmi decided to go there as usual tomorrow. This is also the first time Sohmi go against her mother...
~~~~~~~~~~~At Chunyo's house~~~~~~~~~~
The night sky was blue and clear. Chunyo stared at the beautiful sky and thought about the incident between him and Sohmi today. Then, someone patted gently on his shoulder.
"Bro, be prepared. Your mum wants to see you upstairs"
Chunyo frowned and look at Enho puzzledly. Upstairs, Chunyo found that his mum was sitting on his bed, looking really serious. Something wasn't right.
"Son, stop seeing that girl."
"Why? Reason?"
"That girl's mum is one of the employees that almost ruin the reputation of our company!"
"But that's has got nothing to do with Sohmi!"
"Yes it does. I don't want a daughter in law like her !"
"But..but...she's not my girlfriend !"
"You swear? I'am your mum, i know that you like her..."
Chunyo did not utter a single word. He just sat there staring feircely at his mum. Then he argued back
"I have legs mum, you cannot control me..."
"Yeah try me then"
Chunyo's mum walked out of the room and banged the door. When Chunyo tried to open the door, he realised that is was LOCKED ! Chunyo screamed and screamed but nobody was responding to him. He got so angry that he punched the wall so hard that his knuckles started bleeding alittle. Eventually, he still could not outwin her.
The next day, Sohmi could not find Chunyo anywhere in school during recess. School felt so different without Chunyo around her. On her way to Chunyo's house after school, she prayed hard that he didn't turn up for school because he wasn't feeling well.
*Diiiiiiiiiiiiiiing Dooooooooooong~*
"Oh hi Sohmi, what ya doing here?"
"Hi enho, i came here for piano lessons from Chunyo."
"Ohh, about that, Chunyo said that he won't be teaching anymore..."
"I don't believe! I want to hear it myself from him!"
Enho ignored Sohmi and went back in the house. Despite this, Sohmi did not give up. She sat outside their house for about 2 hours and saw Enho coming to the main gate again.
"Please leave!"
"I won't ! Unless you tell me the reason!"
"Okay then..."
Sohmi was shocked to hear from Enho what actually happened. Convinced, she headed home with a heavy heart. All of a sudden, all this seem like a dream to her. She also remembered how she treated her mum yesterday. Her mind is now in a whirl...
When Sohmi reached home...
"Mum ! I am so so so sorry ! I know what really happened now..."
"Silly girl, mummy's fine. You must too okays?"
Right after hearing what her mom said, Sohmi couldn't hold her tears any longer and began sobbing. This is the first time Sohmi's mum saw her crying so much. After all that crying, Sohmi's mum managed to tuck her in.
For the next 2 weeks, both of them have been leading each of their lives like the past. The only difference is that Chunyo wasn't allowed to go out or go to school. So, his mother hired a private tutor for him. These two weeks, Chunyo has been desperately pleading his mum to let him out while Sohmi cried silently in her bedroom every night before she goes to bed.
There is also a few times where Enho couldn't bear to see his brother suffering from being mentally tortured like this, so he decided to help him get out. But every time, both of them ends up getting caught by Chunyo's mum.
*Riiiiiiing~~*
Chunyo woke up and saw the date on the calender and remembered something really important. Then, he heard footsteps outside....
"Mum !!!! Don't don go!!! Listen to me!!! I really need to pass her this parcel and letter !!! Please i beg you..."
"I will help u pass it to her if you want..."
"Really?!?! Thanks mum ! "
Although Chunyo was shocked by the resquest suggested by his mum, but he was still delighted that the parcel can reached Sohmi's hands by today.
"Ah yes, we are migrating to America today"
"What?! I won't be leaving with you guys..."
"Okay then, i won't pass the parcel to her"
"OKOK...i will go.."
"That's my boy..."
At Sohmi's side, she was revising her work for tomorrow's mini quiz when suddenly her door bell rang. A woman dressed in yellow was holding a parcel in her hand. She handed over the parcel to Sohmi and went off.
When Sohmi was standing at her door about to rip open the contents, a car zoomed passed her.
Because the car was too fast, she did not care much about it. Little did she know that Chunyo was inside the car ! That was the last time Chunyo get to see Sohmi...
Inside the parcel, Sohmi found a keychain, a letter and a note. The keychain is none other than her favourite item - piano. But in between it, was a broken heart. It is magnetic and there was a girl and boy sign in each keychain.
The next item was the letter. The letter was so beautifully written that it made Sohmi curious who wrote that. It says...
Dear Sohmi,
This is Chunyo here. I know many things had happened over the pass 2 weeks and had hurt you alot. But promise me, do remember to smile okay? Only when you smile, then can I. Although we have not been contacting one another for 2 weeks, but i still wouldn't forget "mute girl's" birthday! I made that keychain just specially for you..so better keep it properly. The reason why i gave both the keychains to you is because since i can't stay by your side, the keychain will help me by doing so. The keychain represents my heart. My heart will always be with you. When i am not around to guide you, don't forget to practice Fox Rain. I will listen to you if i have the chance *grins evily* Last but not least, i wanna confess something to you. Remember the first day we met at the pavillion? It's not fate. I delibrately waited for you there..because i wanted to spend some time with you and because i...

Have fallen in love with you ♥
Sohmi dropped the paper and opened her mouth in wide disbelif after seeing that last sentence of the letter. Just when she was about to jump for joy, the note stops her. It read...
I'am sorry to tell you Sohmi, but Chunyo dropped dead on the floor today after his lunch. The doctors tried to search for his cause of death but to no avail. Please take it easy.
From : Enho
Sohmi got so agitated that she ran straight onto the road and shouted...
"I DON NEED YOUR LOVE ! COME BACK NOW!"
*BAAAAAAAAAAANG*
Everything around Sohmi slowed down all of a sudden and she could see an image of Chunyo forming infront of her. He is smiling at her. Then, the image slowly disappears and Sohmi closed her eyes...
"omg!!! Chunyo !!! Miracles do happen ya ?!?!"
Sohmi exclaimed and shake Chunyo back and forth until he couldn't take it and screamed at her.
