1 That Voice

♪ I couldn't grasp it at first

But my heart suddenly burst.

With a feeling I didn't recognize

A feeling I've just realized ♪

"What an awful sounding voice." Uoron said.

Uoron decided that rather than getting a ride home, he wanted to enjoy the scenic view of the forest so he had a stroll when he chanced upon hearing the soft yet not so good singing voice.

Despite the off tune tone, the melody and the lyrics piqued his interests. The feelings that were poured by each and every word uttered were filled with heavy emotions. Some parts were sung well but most were off tuned.

♪A feeling of love I've felt

When you looked at me I thought I'd melt

You smiled with those sparkling teeth

Suddenly I couldn't breathe ♪

He followed the sound and stumbled upon what seems to be a lustre filled forest.

♪With that simple smile you showed me

I found out that I've fallen for you completely♪

The song continued; he then saw a lone wonderful oak tree with it's out of season red foliage. It stood in the centre of the forest in a field of flowers with different specifies and colours. Surrounding this tree with at least half a meter distance stood different kinds in shape and sizes oak trees with its leaves still fresh and green.

A girl wearing a white vintage floral flared long skirt and a black plain fitted blouse was sitting on of the tree's overgrown root. She was staring at the field of flowers as she sang in melancholy. The dreadful voice seems to be coming out from her. Like her voice, her looks was not as beautiful as well. She had curly hair which was tied into a messy low side bun. Her hair where curling on the edges of her crown, twisting in different directions. She was wearing black and red spectacles; however he was not as sure since the moon light was dim.

She had a mini recorder which he believes the melody was coming out from while a book and a small bag left beside her. In spite of this appearance, he couldn't understand it but he couldn't take his eyes off her. So he sat near a bush to cover himself while listening to her awful yet sometimes sweet voice.

♪It started from a simple crush

That turned to something quite vast

I can't believe it turned out this way

You really captured my heart

Like an artist mesmerized with arts ♪

Momentarily enthralled by the lyrics of the song he didn't notice a man slowly approaching him. Though the singer had an off tuned voice the feeling portrayed where captivating. He couldn't help but think about this contradiction again and again. It was as though a girl's first bittersweet experience of a one sided love, hoping to be noticed and loved in return yet afraid to be rejected. Despite knowing it won't work out you're still there, hoping... dreaming... wishing... silently loving...
