I was sitting in my office, working on a project with my dad when my phone rang. It was my best friend, Eriol.
"Hey, what's up?"
"Hurry Syao!" He said in a very worried and quite loud voice.
"What?" I said as I got up from my seat to get a better signal. I couldn't hear him properly.
"What happened?" I asked.
"My dad exploded!"
"What? Your dad exploded?" I asked. The signal wasn't really good.
"What happened?" My dad asked.
"I don't know yet!" I told him, because I didn't, and turned back to the phone and went:
"What do you mean? Your dad exploded??????????!!"
"MY DAD IS NOT A FREAKIN' GAS CAPSULE! HIS KIDNEY EXPLODED!" He yelled back while my dad got up from behind his desk and asked me" what exploded?"
"Sazahi-san's Kidney!" I whispered to him.
My dad got really worried then.
"Did they take him to the hospital? Is he alright now?" My dad asked me and I shrugged in response while I heard Eriol whisper:
"My poor old man! Oh, how much I love your torn up kidney…"
-"Where is he? Is he okay now?"
Eriol-"He's in the fine. He feels hospital."
"What?"
Eriol-"BAH! I mean he's fine, he's in the hospital!"
"Thank God!"
Eriol-"Are you coming to the hospital or not?" Eriol asked.
"Which hospital?"
Eriol-"Tomoyo's hospital!"
"Our Tomoyo?"
Eriol-"No, Tomoyo of the President of the United States of America! OFCOURSE OUR TOMOYO!!"
Oh, sorry guys. I forgot to introduce myself.
My name is Li Syaoran and both Eriol and I are engineers and we both work for our fathers' company.
Our fathers are very rich people and so, we never had financial problems. (Thank God!)
We were best friends since I can remember and we are always together.
Well actually, I always follow Eriol around since his the devil of the two.(You'll see what I mean soon enough.) I'm the silent type if you will.
And Tomoyo is my sister. She is a doctor working in the Diamond hospital.
Eriol's has had a crush on her since like forever by the way, but she doesn't want to marry him, yet, for her reasons, but I can tell that she is practically in love with him.
Oh, look, now I sound like a girl. Very nice!
-"Okay, Okay I'm coming!"
So I took my dad's permission to go out and went to the hospital. The streets were practically empty so I got there under 20 minutes. The moment I stepped off the car, Eriol's car also came into the parking and so we both went in after exchanging our greetings.
When we got in, the reception area was very crowded. Everyone was demanding service at the same time and only one young nurse was behind the counter. Poor nurse, she had answer the phone, page doctors and… and also answer the patients all at the same time.
Patient 1-" Excuse me Mam. I have been waiting here for the past half hour! Would you please check and see if my wife is still here, she got sick and they brought her here."
Patient 2-"Mam, can you please give me a form to fill and excuse my patient from the hospital?!"
Suddenly the reception's phone rang and the nurse answered it, spoke for a few seconds and hung up.
Patient 3-" Excuse me! I need to fill the form to get my patient an entry to the X-ray section!"
The nurse opened her mouth to answer but then stopped as she remembered something, pressed a button on the pager and said:
Nurse- to the emergency room please. to the emergency room please."
Patient 3-"Mam! Can I have the form?!"
Nurse-"I can't just give you a form!"
Eriol-"Sure you can! Just give the guy a piece of paper!"
I nudged him in the ribs as the nurse turned toward Eriol and glared at him.
Nurse-"This is not going to work like this, please everyone get in a line and form a queue!"
That's when everyone started bustling around to get in line.
Nurse-"Now, which form do you need?"
Patient 3 "A form for the X-ray section."
Nurse- "You have to get the form from the X-ray section itself, sir!"
Patient 2-"I need a form to excuse my patient."
Nurse-"Here fill this."
She gave the guy a paper and turned to Eriol.
Nurse-" Yes please, go ahead,"
Eriol-"Yes, please go ahead what?"
I nudged him again. And whispered "Don't start!" in his ear.
Nurse-"Are you pulling my leg?"
Eriol-"No! No way! But tell me, go ahead about what?"
Nurse- "Go ahead with your question. The information you need."
The nurse was trying not to smile at Eriol's little joke.
Eriol-"Oh ye, well, My fa-"
He was cut off when the nurse put her hand in front of his face indicating him to wait a second and answered the phone that started ringing, and then set it down and turned back to Eriol.
Nurse- "Sorry, you were saying?"
Eriol- "Ye well, Ma-"
Again the nurse put her hand up for him to stop talking and said "Dr. Vinko to the surgery section. Dr.Vinko to the surgery section."
She turned back to Eriol and said "You may continue."
Eriol- "Ma-"
This time the nurse turned to another nurse who was passing by and said:
" Call Sanai and tell her to come help me! I can't handle this alone!"
And again turned to Eriol and motioned for him to continue.
Eriol- "Ma-"
This time the phone rang again and the nurse put her hand in front of Eriol's face and talked into the phone and hung up. But before she put her hand down Eriol said:
Eriol- "Hmmmm… What a perfect future! What a looooooong life line! Perfect hand! Perfect destiny…hmmm…"
Nurse-"Excuse me sir,What are you talking about sir?"
Eriol-"Palm reading! You have the best future I have seen in my entire career as a palm reader! Soon you'll get a lot of money!!!!!! This much!"
And he placed his hands in front of each other at length to indicate the size.
The nurse who was starting to giggle said- "Excuse me?"
Suddenly Eriol's tone change from normal to an angry one and he said:
Eriol- "Excuse me, but I'm starting to sound like a cow over here!"
At this everyone around us started laughing.
The nurse who was quietly laughing now said- "Well, I'm sorry but as you can see I'm alone with all this responsibilities!"
Eriol- "Then why don't you tell Sanai to come and give you a hand?"
Right then a very serious nurse (Who was in her 40s) came forward with a frown on her face and glared at Eriol.
Nurse 2- "You better not nose in people's business. Please tell me what you need."
Eriol-"Can you show me were you keep the corpses?"
Nurse 2-"What?"
"Ye, since you guys took soooooo long to even talk to me, I assume my patients dead by now so, just show me straight to the corpse so I can say goodbye!"
Every one laughed at that. The first nurse sat on her chair behind her desk and pretended to do some paper work when in reality, she was actually laughing.
"Sir, seriously, how can I help you? Tell me the patients name!"
Eriol-"Yes mam! Right away! Please look-up the name Hiiragizawa?!"
Nurse 2 who was ,apparently, Sanai repeated the name as she checked through her list and then turned to Eriol and said:
Sanai- "Congratulations on the new baby. It's a boy!"
Eriol-"Really? Oh thank God! Though I've always wanted a daughter but that's okay! Whatever God wishes. So is he okay?"
Sanai-"Yes, both the baby and the mother!"
Eriol started smiling happily and everyone started congratulating him and he was thanking them sincerely!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eriol-"Have you vaccinated him yet? I don't want the baby to have any problems you know!?"
Sanai-"Yes, every things done, he's ready to be taken home!"
Eriol-"Its was normal labor right? No surgery?"
Sanai-"Yes it was normal labor. No problems. Its a very healthy boy!"
Eriol-"Oh great! So, when and how are you going to announce it?"
Everyone was dumfounded at that.
Sanai-"Announce what?"
Eriol-"This miracle! When is it going on the internet or the news?"
Sanai-"What miracle?"
Eriol-"The miracle that a 60 year old man gave birth to a healthy baby through normal labor!"
There was a moment of silence and then every single person cracked-up while Sanai was trying to figure out what Eriol meant. Even I, who was used to Eriol's jokes, started laughing.
The scene was so funny if anyone walked in right then they would think they have entered a comedy theater! Even the patients on the same floor came out of their rooms to see what it was all about.
Sanai-"What?"
Eriol-"I'm looking for my father. His kidney exploded. They brought him here!"
He said that like he was talking to a two year-old.
Sanai-"No, we only have one family name that matches the one you gave us. Hiiragizawa, Helen!"
Eriol-"Oh, My dad introduced himself as Helen here?"
Again everyone cracked up and I nudged him again.
-"Stop it Eriol! Don't you think about your dad but at all?"
But Eriol was too deep in thought to hear me.
Eriol-"Hmmm…now I see…those people my dad went out with this past months. I'm sure they are the reason for my dad's disgrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The whole room went into another fit of laughter.
Eriol-"Eh, no problem, at least now I got a brother to take to the park everyday!!!"
He said that in a happy voice.
People were now literally crying of laughter. One of the patients who had a stick under his arms fell down from laughing so much.
Eriol-"I would Put that stick back under my arm and run for my life if I were you! Stay here two more seconds and they get you pregnant with twins!"
Now, the first nurse was on the floor laughing literally rolling while Sanai dropped her serious face and was also crying of laughter. All the nurses and doctors had forgotten about their jobs and were just laughing at Eriol in a crowd around us.
Then suddenly Eriol changed his tone to a desperate, impatient scream and said:
Eriol-"MY DAD IS DYING DAMN IT SOMEONE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"I'll take you to him."
The moment that voice came Eriol's expression change to one of joy and bliss! Like you'd given him the whole world! Since that someone turned out to be Tomoyo who came out as the crowd parted to let her through who's eyes were also teary and she was still laughing.
-"Oh hey!"
Tomoyo-"Hay bro!"
Eriol-"Oh, only you can save me my dear lovely angel!"
-"Oi!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch what your saying to my sister!"
Which was the statement he completely ignored.
Tomoyo-"Hi, Eriol."
Seriously! It's sooooooooooo obvious that Tomoyo's completely 'gaga' over him.
-cough- moving on.
Eriol- "Well hello my dear light at the end of the dark tunnel!!!!!"
Tomoyo-"I see you gathered people around again!" She said teasingly.
Eriol-"Its not my fault this time! Honest!" He raised his hands palm-up as if in surrender. "Its their fault!" He pointed at the two nurses.
"I just found out that I have a small brother, and they…" He said pointing at the crowd who were looking expectantly at him to make another joke, with admiration in their eyes. "…are just congratulating me!"
Tomoyo laughed as Sanai turned to us and asked:
"You know Dr.Li?"
-"Yes, she is my sister-"
Eriol-"…and my one-day-to-come-fiancée!" Eriol interrupted with satisfaction.
To which I responded by smacking him on the head which got another round of laughter from the crowd.
Tomoyo-"Follow me. I'll take you to your father."
So we started walking after her and so the disappointed crowd started scattering.
-"Aren't you ashamed? Why do you always make a scene? Did we once go somewhere and leave with grace?"
Eriol-"Am I doing a bad thing by making people laugh? No, really am I now?"
Tomoyo laughed.
Eriol got this goofy smile on his face and looked at her with admiration Totally forgetting that I exist and said:
Eriol-"So is my dad okay now?"
Tomoyo-"Yes, his fine."
Eriol-"Did you perform the surgery?"
Tomoyo nodded 'yes' while giggling as she remembered Eriol's joke in the reception again.
Eriol-"The best surgeon in the world!!!!!!! I wish I had I some problems so you could perform surgery on me. You know, a cut off hand, leg, ear, whatever."
-"OIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watch it!"
Eriol-"Watch what? What's it to you anyhow?! Huh? Its my body! I'll do what I want with it, and if I want to dissect it, I will and it's none of your business anyways, if its anyone's it's the health institutes or the poor insurance company's!"
Anyways, Eriol talked and we laughed till we reached his fathers' room and Tomoyo said that she has to go, said bye and took off as we went in.
Eriol's mother was mad at us for being late and so Eriol made-up an excuse so she calmed down. We stayed there for an hour more or less and then said goodbye and came out.
On our way out Eriol started walking towards the lobby when I caught him in the act!
-"Oi! Where do you think your going?"
Eriol-"Wha? Just wanted to say goodbye to Sanai and the rest!"
-"No need! You go there, your going to start another commotion!"
Eriol-"No I wo-"
It was then that a voice said:
-"Eriol-san!?"
We looked around and came to see a girl coming towards us with a very worried look on her face.
Eriol-"Oh, well hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I'm sure he has noooooooooo idea who he's talking to.
The girl- You…you don't recognize me? I'm…um…I'm Mr.Kinomoto's daughter, Sakura!"
I hoped you liked it. It's actually based on a real book. I wanted to write more but then…I didn't. HAHA!
Oh by the way: I DON'T OWN A THING (except a few changes in the plot!)
