Chapter 201 - Song of an Angel (1/2)

A beautiful music blending with a sorrowful voice but at the same time calming to the soul, echoed inside the quiet room. It was almost dawn and just as the song pierces through one's soul, the moonlight was also piercing through the glass windows.

Sei at that moment, was immediately frozen upon hearing the melody as though a thunder bolt just struck him. It brought back memories for that piece was the last song his mother played for him years ago. Causing him to slowly clenched his fist tight before he fiercely covered his ears with his palms, trying to shut all the memories behind.

He doesn't want to hear that song, however, no matter how much he tried, the sound still penetrated to him. The soft gentle song was like a voice coming from an angel desperately trying to reach his seemingly irredeemable soul. Making Sei to relent and eventually bend his body as he bumped his head on the table. His hands were still covering his ears but the more he struggles to mute it, the more the sound seemed to be getting louder. Slowly piercing the almost impenetrable darkness around him.

Minutes passed but the song continued. As though the person playing it was telling him that the song will never stop unless he relents.

”Zaki, make it stop!” He then ordered with his horrifying tone. However, the boy behind him didn't make a single movement, like he was transfixed. Leaving Sei without any choice but to give in.

His hands which were covering his ears then slowly fell. And the moment he finally heard the song clear enough, he stood with his fist clenched so tight.

He began to move his feet and slowly followed the source of the sound. While Zaki ,upon seeing Sei moved, quietly followed him as though he was literally his shadow.

As they walked, the sorrowful sound just kept piercing through him more deeply. Until finally, they were lead in front of the school's music room. The door was widely opened and the moment Sei saw the person playing the piano he just froze again in place.

A girl seemingly two or three years younger than him, wearing a white patient dress was seated on the piano stool, playing incessantly and she looks as though she was glowing. An existence that seemed to be out of place from the world enveloped with darkness.

Sei could only see the side of her face and he was taken aback to witness her crying quietly, for some unknown reason, something just seemed to tug his heart. The moonlight streaming across her face made her tears appeared as though they were endless falling crystals.

That moment, the picture of the girl quietly crying in front of him and the sorrowful song she was playing made his dead heart seemed to have resurrected. And the next seconds, tears started to quietly fall from his eyes as he kept staring at the girl. The sound just kept ripping through the deepest abyss within him.

Then Sei slowly fell unto his knees and he just began tugging his own hair.

He cried. The tears that were barren from his eyes for many years seemed to just flowed out that he couldn't stop it anymore. He hugged himself as he continued crying quietly. His own nails pierced through his flesh and blood dripped on the floor.
