[Ballet Elite] Rondo of Dreams

"Turn left over there and go straight to reach the train station. At the current time, you can reach Tokyo tonight." I pointed to the familiar road.

"En." Teacher Serkeyev nodded.

I hold the teacher's hand tightly, I don't want to go back so early, I hope to get along with the teacher again... I know that the end of this road is reality.

And what reality is, I have fully understood since I heard the story of Mr. Lavtovsky.

Teacher, just like he swore to his mother, he...will never leave Liliana's side.No matter what my feelings for him are, no matter what his feelings for me are!

Teacher, is such a person!

It is because he is such a person that I like him so much!

In front of my mother's grave, I got him, but also...lost him...

"Want to dance?" the teacher asked a bit abruptly.

"Huh?" I raised my head in confusion and looked at the teacher.

"Suddenly, I really want to dance with you! Is there a ballet school in this area? I heard that there are many small ballet classrooms in Japan. I can borrow them!" The teacher looked around.

I was stunned, "Then Tokyo?"

"Just take the first bus tomorrow morning, how about it?" Turning his head, the teacher smiled slightly

"Great!" I cheered, smiling brightly, with tears in my smile, on the eve of farewell, I always...dance with you...

Practice room, soon to be found.

The teacher first called back to Tokyo and explained the situation to my uncle. I heard the teacher calmly say that Masumi is tired and doesn't look well. He will have to rest for a night before going back to Tokyo.He squatted next to the phone, holding back his laughter until his whole body trembled.

Hahahaha, it turned out that when the teacher told a lie, he also had a serious and expressionless face.

It's great to see such a teacher.I wish I could see more of his other sides.

"What are you laughing at!" The top of the head was tapped lightly, and it didn't hurt at all.

"No!" I stood up and held the teacher's hand, "Teacher, let's go dance. Aurora, Black Swan, White Swan, Mavka, Legend of Love... Symphony and Afternoon of the Faun... And the ugly duckling, I really want to dance with my teacher. You don’t know, how long I’ve been thinking about this day.”

"I know." The teacher reached out and held my hand, "I've been looking forward to this day of dancing with you! Come on, let us today, not as teachers and students, but as partners , come dance!"

"kindness!"

I have never danced so happily...nor have I danced so sadly...

Stretching the limbs, swinging the head, joy and sadness, from the clasped hands and the eyes that look at each other, radiate out of the air bit by bit!

Teacher, teacher, do you finally know?

A little more than joy is the feeling of liking.

I like you, I like you...

And what is a little bit more than sadness...

Just like that, I danced continuously all night, and I don't know when I fell asleep snuggled up in the teacher's arms.

When I woke up, the sun was already shining.

"Well—" I pulled the teacher's overcoat vigorously and covered my head, the sun was too bright.

"Get up when you wake up, don't be lazy!" The clothes I was holding on to were torn away, and the sun was overwhelming, and the brightest of them was the sincere smile of the person looking at me.

With the corners of my mouth raised, I threw myself into his arms, even though he couldn't see it, I still gave him the most brilliant smile.

Teacher, teacher, you know what?

This kind of happiness is something I have been looking forward to and waiting for for a long time!Now, my whole body seems to melt into the morning light, full of happiness!

So, I won't cry anymore, and at the end, I want to leave you with the happiest and brightest smile in the sun...

The train back to Tokyo is so fast it's unreal!

And with the passage of time, the real life has been pulled back bit by bit, and it has come, it is time to say goodbye...

"Masumi, what's the matter? You look so ugly! Are you uncomfortable?" Outside the building of the Ballet Association, the teacher frowned and asked.

"It's okay, let's go in!" I smiled with the corners of my mouth up, and the feeling of fear began to emerge.I suppressed it desperately, not wanting the teacher to worry.Yes, I can.Those words that the teacher said when he came to me... There is nothing happier than this, and I have been so happy, I can definitely stick to it!

"Masumi..."

"It's really okay, let's go in, the others must be very worried."

As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw his uncle and others coming up to greet him, "Alex, Masumi, you are back!"

"Uncle, I'm sorry to make you worry." I hurriedly bowed and apologized.

"Ah, it's okay. I'm relieved to see that you're fine. Alex, come here, and I'll talk to you about Liliana."

"OK."

Seeing my uncle pull the teacher away, the feeling of fear became clearer, and I grabbed someone at random, and I asked anxiously, "Did something happen to Liliana?"

"The situation is very bad, Liliana passed out yesterday!"

"what?!"

Pushing open Liliana's door, I walked to the bed, and then, I was startled.

God!

Liliana was still running a fever, her face was flushed red, she was struggling non-stop, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat...

"Towel, towel..." I must find something to wipe her.

As soon as I got the towel, I turned back to the bed and heard Liliana murmuring, "Teacher...teacher...please don't go...stay with me and stay with me..."

The towel in his hand fell to the side of the bed.I covered my mouth, my mind went blank.I know, I finally know why I was so confused when I saw the teacher and Liliana jumping on the swan lake for the first time... because Liliana was looking at the teacher with the same eyes as me...

I don't know how long it took, but I slowly came to my senses.

Picking up the towels that fell by the bed, I rewashed them and put them on Liliana's scorched forehead.

I struggled to open my mouth, and I said word by word, words that made my heart ache, "Liliana, from now on... the teacher will be with you. He will always... be by your side," the part of the heart , miraculously no longer hurt, is it because... the pain is already numb, "Teacher is... belongs to you alone, your... partner."
