Oldman and Gentle Sky (2)

The party continue until evening, as the female customer was long go home while the many men customer laid wasted on the table. Clearly they would have huge hungover after they wake up.

The cafe look like shipwreck, cutlery every table and many glasses every where. But in the end all of that is worth it. After all human have short life. How they will captured the beauty of life if there is just work and bill.

"So? What next?" The owner ask Sora who a bit tipsy because the alcohol drink she consume

Sora little starled as she look the owner, little surprise that he sat beside her and didn't has sign of drunk. He look sober and fine even if a hour ago he still partake in drinking contest.

"Honestly, I don't know" Sora answer truhfully

At first she think when she graduate from college is to pursue her childhood dream, becoming idol. But now she wasn't sure. She realize her voice is average and has no vocal training at all. And on top of that she can't dance at all.

She often thought that she can't be idol even if her best friend said she can. She doesn't has the confident, she at nature is shy and reserve girl.

The oldman just smile. Many young adult like Sora have trouble to decide what they do next after finishing the college. But the oldman too know that Sora won't like just sit at the office doing some report. She little too energetic to have office job.

So, the oldman put one business card and two brochures on the table. One from Motoaki who come a week ago to inform him that the he will begin his idol project soon enough. And two other is dance class and singing class

Sora tilt her head at the look of the card but before she has the chance to ask, the oldman who catch the confused expression explain what those all about.

"This three is my recommendation for you to go for now. The one on the right is from a regular, he say he will make idol company soon and I quote "My foundation is sturdy enough now, the next step is coming closer. Just to find the right person and we ready" or so he say. The middle is dance class close by, I think about fifteen minute walk by here to the west. Given by their staff to me for promote their class in here. And the last is singing class It quite close to where you live at, an acquaintance of mine give me that to promote their class as well"

Sora listen carefully as the list go, she couldn't help to suprise. What chance this all coincidence? She ask herself.

Sora give her tightes hug to the old man beside her. She felt so grateful to him. Coincidence or not, the oldman she hug now just show her a path to achieve her childhood dream and for that she really grateful.

For her it like you have person who gave their utmost trust and support to you. And for long time in a while, The gentle sky cry, crying out of gratefulness. To think there a person who trust her ordinary self to chase her dream this far....

(I shall not disappoint you and your trust, Jiji)

That her vow to the oldman who give her path to achieve her dream on her heart. And the vow become reminder how she is when she just nobody when she reach of the high she never thought she will reach.

The oldman just return the hug warmly and occasionally pat her head. After about ten minute Sora stop crying. Her eyes now red and so her cheek. The oldman smile, little amused by how puffy she look like now. She look like little squirel who stuff her mouth with many nut.

"Now, now let get you to home it's getting late. And that is big no no for you little missy" The Oldman teasingly said as he stood up from his chair

"Hmph!" Sora just give pout for the answer as she too stood up from her chair and goes to the door

"Haha! Ken, I believe you got all handle for I have to escort this little missy home" with hearty laugh he said that and walk toward the door after Sora

"Don't worry, I got all handle here boss. But you might have to pace up little as the little missy over there clearly in rush" Ken answer with little teasing as he saw Sora at the front door

"Sure I do, we don't want to make little missy wait to long ay?" The oldman said as he give a wave for his worker

"MOU!!! Stop it already!!"

With the angry Sora on cue the workers and owner laugh heartfully. The laugh make some wasted customer sober up with headache come along after awhile.
