My friend has left from my room after two weeks. Looking back, we shares lots of time during the time.
I found a post saying “We’ve got tons of Japanese books to give away”, and so we visited the house. There was an Austrian elderly woman welcoming us, and she told us about the death of her husband and the fact that the books belonged to the Japanese husband. We took some of the books after searching many cartons thoroughly, and invited her to our concert.
We went to some small concerts at a coffee shop, and a cellar to see my friends, and we also made new friends there. For the last five days, we focused on making e a setlist for the concert, and I caught a cold which still blunt my head now.
Then, December has come.
My friend said “I think you should deserve something special soon.” when he left from my room. I’m easily fed up when things are not going well, but if so, I will trust the word and move on as if there is a breakthrough just next to me.
友人はロンドンへ戻って行った。
二週間ぶりの一人の時間に過ぎた時間を反芻する。
「日本の本を無料で引き取ってください」という広告を見て尋ねた高級住宅街にある家で、オランダ人女性の亡くなった旦那さんの話を聞く。
友人の演奏を見に行ったカフェや、地下の鬱屈とした演奏所で知り合ったり再開した人々。
Berlinでの初演奏の為、後半一週間で友人と詰め込んで作り上げたセットリスト。
最後に引いた風邪は、僕の頭を今も鈍らせている。
そうこうしていると、12月になっていた。
「浩毅くんにはそのうち特別なことが起きるように思います」
友人が言ってくれた。
毎日小さな思い通りにいかないことたちにため息をつきたくなる。
でも特別なことが起きるなら、ああだこうだ言うのを辞めてひっそりコツコツやって行こうかな、という気になる。
