The Future Story 2

Chapter 1 – The Reunion and the Heart
"Huh, why do I get sick so often?" mumbled a pink haired girl who sat down on her bed, "Otousan, did okasan get sick so often like me?"
"Well, yes she did, Fami-chan," answered her father, Mr. Kotake Murasaki, "She got a heart attack so often. Even so, she tried her best to be healthy."
"If only I could meet her…" Fami sighed, "In fact, I never have chance to meet her."
"It couldn't help, Fami-chan. Your mother was gone right after she gave birth you, so… she even never had chance to see you. She never had chance to hear your crying," Murasaki sat down onto his daughter's desk and stroked Fami's hair, "and you just can see her photos."
"Yeah…" Fami bowed her head, "but still, that's not enough for me."
"Fami-chan," Murasaki hugged his daughter, "It must be because you want me to accompany you here today, right? I'm sorry, but I should go now. There's an important meeting this morning."
"You get it, huh?" she giggled, "It's fine, otousan. I don't mind if you can't accompany me here today. At least, I know that Auntie Tsubomi and Nozomi-chan will come later."
"Don't forget that you always have your grandparents here, Fami-chan," Murasaki broke their hug, "and speaking of them, I think your grandmother will come here to bring your breakfast soon."
"Not before she prepares yours in the dining room, otousan," Fami tried to smile, even though her face looked so pale, "Anyways, you should go now, or else you'll be late to come to your office. I know that your meeting is very important."
"Well then, I go now," Murasaki walked out from his daughter's room, into the dining room where his father read a newspaper and his mother prepared their breakfast.
"Good morning, Murasaki-kun," greeted his mother, an old woman whose hair was gray, even though a few of its strands were still in its natural color, red, "How about Fami-chan? Is she getting well?"
"Not really, but it's better than yesterday," Murasaki sighed, sat down onto his chair, "but still… I can't believe that her condition is even worse than Cathy-chan… when we were still in her age… I can't believe that my own daughter is seriously ill, and the only one way to save her is… find a new heart for her."
He put his head onto the table, "It's all my fault. I should be aware that probably, my daughter would suffer a heart defect like Cathy-chan before… If only I wasn't so busy to work in that time, Fami-chan…"
"Murasaki-kun, don't blame yourself anymore," replied his mother while she put the breakfast for him and his father, "By the way, are you sure that you don't want to take your breakfast with me and your daughter in her room?"
"It's okay, okasan. I'm in a hurry, anyway," he quickly took his sandwich and ate it, then drank his coffee and got up, "There's an important meeting this morning."
"Well then, good luck for your meeting!" she smiled, waved her hands, and after her son walked out from the house, she asked her husband, who was still reading the newspaper, "Tetsuya, would you mind if I take my breakfast with Fami-chan today?"
"Of course not, my dear, I don't mind," the gray-blue haired old man replied while he folded the newspaper in his hands, "Now, she needs you more than me. Moreover, I want to do something after this."
"Go to the soccer club?"
"No, Doremi. I don't want to go there," the old man shook of his head, "I want to go to Misora Elementary."
"That's exactly what I mean, Tetsuya," Doremi giggled, "I mean, the soccer club that I mean is Misora Elementary's soccer club, because I know that you become a senior coach there."
"Alright, you always know me so well," the seventy years old Kotake Tetsuya sighed, "Well then, go ahead. Our granddaughter is waiting for you."
"Okay," she blinked, then walked out from the dining room with two sandwiches and two cups of milk on a tray.
When she arrived at her granddaughters room, Doremi greeted, "It's time for breakfast, Fami-chan! Be glad!"
"Obaachan!" Fami smiled, "I'm so happy that you want to take your breakfast with me."
"Well, of course I am, Fami-chan," the old woman smiled back, "because you're my first granddaughter."
"Then, how about Nozomi-chan?" asked Fami, "She's Auntie Tsubomi's daughter, so she's also your granddaughter, right?"
"You're right, but you were born first. Three months before her," replied Doremi, "Moreover, it's you who lives here with me."
"Whatever. I'm just feeling bad for ojiichan," the pink haired girl sighed, "He probably wants to take his breakfast with you."
"Not really. He supports me to accompany you here," Doremi shook of her head, then put her tray onto the desk near the bed, "Your father said that you're getting well now."
"At least, better than yesterday," Fami sighed again, "but it's still so far from recover… right?"
"Fami-chan, what do you mean?"
"I hear everything," Fami admitted, "Yesterday, the doctor said to you that I… just could recover by… getting a new heart, right obaachan?"
"So you've already know about it, huh?" Doremi put her right hand behind Fami's back, "Don't worry, Fami-chan. We'll get a new heart for you."
"No, obaachan. I don't want to see someone else should lost her or his life just because of me," the young girl bowed her head, "I just recently learnt from school that people can't live without their heart."
"Fami-chan, the way to get a new heart is different with the way to get a new kidney or some litres of new blood," Doremi explained, "The donor of the heart should be the one who's already dead, but her or his heart is still capable to work well."
"From where do you know about it, obaachan?"
"The doctor told me before, when she said the possibility of your heart defect becoming worse a year ago."
"Obaachan, why should I get that serious disease?" asked Fami sadly, "Why is my heart different with anyone else's heart? And why…"
"To be honest, I also hope that you would fully recover soon, without receiving a new heart, but… that was just my hope. In fact, you really need the new ones."
The old woman sighed, then tried to change the topic, "Alright, now let's we take our breakfast, Fami-chan. It's better than if we keep talking about something gloomy like that."
"…"
"Okay, I know that you can't really recover until you receive a new heart, but it doesn't mean that you can't go back to school, right? You should eat enough breakfast to make you feel better, Fami-chan."
The pink haired girl finally nodded and took her sandwich, "You're right, obaachan. I want to go to school with Nozomi-chan and the others again."
"That's my granddaughter," Doremi took another sandwich from the tray. She then ate the sandwich with her first granddaughter.
"By the way, obaachan," after Fami finished her sandwich, she started a new topic, "Can I recover by magic? You said to me that if magic…"
"Even if magic really exist, we can't use it to heal you," Doremi cut what Fami said, "I mean, maybe we can use it, but there are some consequences for that ones."
"For example?"
"Uh, well… let's just say that… if someone healed you that way, your heart defect would move to her or him. You would be recover, but…"
"That illness wouldn't be really gone, right? It would just move to the one who saved my life?"
"That's right, Fami-chan," the old woman drank her milk, "That's the consequences that I mean."
"Oh, okay," Fami nodded her head while took her glass, "Now I understand."
.O.
Meanwhile, at Misora Elementary…
"Nozomi-nee, can I follow you to visit Fami-chan?" asked a purple short haired girl to an older girl in front of her, "You know, you're my cousin, and she's your cousin, and…"
"You assume her as your cousin as well, right?" the mentioned girl continued what the purplette said, "Well, fine. You can go there with me and my mother after school."
"Thank you, Nozomi-nee!"
The brunette nodded, "You're welcome, Rizu-chan."
Right after she said it, the bell rang, and both of Nozomi and Rizuko walked into their own classes. Nozomi was in the fifth grade, just like Fami, while Rizuko was in the fourth grade.
Kounna Nozomi was Fami's cousin, as she was Tsubomi and Tonomi's daughter, while Hagiwara Rizuko was Nozomi's cousin, as she was Tonami and Tetsuo's daughter.
Because of their relativity connection, Fami, Nozomi and Rizuko became so near with each other, so that was why, even though Rizuko was a year younger than Fami and Nozomi, she respected both of them too much, while they also assumed her as their own sister.
In Nozomi's class, there was a transferred student from Tokyo named Nakayama Shiroyuki, and somehow, it was just like they'd ever met before, even though Nozomi knew that she never met her new friends before.
In another class, in the first grade, there was also a transferred student named Kawamura Izumi, and somehow, her homeroom teacher who was also Nozomi's mother was so happy to see her there.
'Hima-chan, I'm glad that you're back here, after stay in France for a long time,' Tsubomi smiled, 'and now I'll be your daughter's teacher… what a coincidence!'
.O.
A few hours later, at the airport…
"Mom, quickly! I want to see them!" shouted a blonde haired girl to her mother, "I want to see all of your friends' daughters!"
"I know it, Molly, but you should be patient," replied her mother, Sokuryoku Monica, "We bring so many things here, so we should make sure that there isn't anything missing from our luggage."
"Okay," Molly smiled, "I just want to meet them so bad. You said that some of them have the same age with me."
"Yup! They're Fami-chan, Nozomi-chan and Shiro-chan," Monica explained, "Then, there are also Rizu-chan and Izumi-chan, who are younger than you."
"I know it, mom," Molly giggled, "and this will be a great reunion."
