Chapter 3

Miyazono turned around. Now, her back wasn't facing me anymore. It was her face. My hand that was reaching for her came to a halt.

"Ano.. what are you trying to do?" She said, her voice was a bit unsettle as she knitted her brows. "Is it possible? Wait. Are you being pervert again?"

At the response, I couldn't help but sweatdropped. "That was harsh." I dropped my hand slightly and scratched my cheek nervously. "Sorry about that."

Seriously, what was I thinking?

"Well, how about you take his place instead?"

Ah.. this again.

The waitress served the caramel waffles with apples and nuts. She then walked away as I stole a glance at the dessert.

"Wow! I've always wanted to try one of those!!" Miyazono beamed. Her eyes were sparkling. She kept on talking as I carefully looked at her face. Her smile was nostalgic. How long has it been?

With that, I unconsciously smile and leaned on my palm, staring at her. She was about to dig in when she noticed my stare. "You creeped me out."

"Really?" I asked nonchalantly. Not that I care- I've been wanting to see her smile all along. Miyazono pouted at my response as she took out a camera and took a picture of the waffles before digging in.

A few seconds of watching her, then the sound of piano was heard. I remember playing it and getting the trauma again. Now that I mention it, will I be able to play the piano?

Miyazono's lips were curved upwards upon hearing the melody. "What a happy piano."

Before she began to walk towards the piano, I went ahead of her and greet the girl who was playing the piano. A smile was plastered onto the girl's face when I told her that I'll play it with her.

Miyazono followed from behind and a grinned. "Let's start."

When I first pressed the keys, I thought that i would screw up.

Surprisingly, I was able to play the piano well. It was as if I had gotten rid of my trauma. The fact that I was able to play had frightened myself. I was afraid that it would change the future so my hands literally stopped. But I was a little bit late. I stopped at the middle of the second verse.

Myself in the past couldn't handle this.

I was scared that I might've changed this timeline. I immediately stole a glance at Miyazono's face. Her face was oddly, neither shocked nor disappointed. It was more of a relief.

When I recalled back my memories, I remember that none of this has ever happened. She didn't smile that way. My eyes widen in shock.

I didn't change anything did I?
