Chapter 2: The sunny past
"Stupid Len!" She shouted at me, "How could you turn back at the poor puppy here?"
We were on our way to the alley when we saw an abandoned puppy. She was about to touch it when I stopped her from extending her slender fingers towards it.
"Idiot, It might have rabies." I said to her. She looked at me, and then her eyes trailed down to our hands.
Rolling her eyes she snapped at me, "You are supposed to be a doctor, maybe you are an OC. Plus it's a puppy not "It""
"Well, I may be a doctor and your best friend but knowing you, you can be a pain in the neck whenever you get sick. And please, I am not an Obsessive-compulsive type of person unlike someone I know. "
I was answered with a pout, we heard the puppy cry and I saw that it was trying to move towards her seeking for warmth. As always, she is stubborn, well, in a nice way. She took off her denim jacket then gently picked up the puppy and treated it like a newborn baby.
"Ah! It's a boy! It's a boy!" She beamed at me. I cant help but smile, she's always this kind and gentle girl. She always sees the good side of everyone. And that is the reason why I love her. But she didn't know about my feelings. It's not the right time yet to tell her.
I brushed my fingers onto my hair and sighed, "Seems to me that you have plans on adopting the puppy"
She nodded her head but I saw that mischievous glint in her eyes. Then I remembered that she lives in a ladies dorm – and that dorms have this no pets allowed sign. This only means that the puppy will stay with me.
"Please." She begged
"When did I say no to you?" I sighed in resignation. Yes, how can I say no to the woman I secretly loved? Yes we are best friends. I am a doctor, while she is a nurse at our hospital. We met at the university 4 years ago. I was a senior that time while she was a junior med student. But even doctors have fears too – As for me; my fear is that I might loose our friendship if I crossed the line.
"Thank you so much Len, you're the best." She looked up at me and handed the puppy to me. I took the small one from her when she whispered to the puppy, "from now on, I will be your mom and Len will be your dad."
She really is an eccentric girl but then she burrowed her way into my heart. I smiled when I saw the puppy lick her nose as if agreeing to what she said. We then walked out of the alley.
"Let's call him Lili," she said as we walk our way to my house.
And that was a month ago before it happened.
"Too much blood." I heard Detective Hihara said. Chief Ryoutaro Tsuchiura was the first one to arrive at the scene. Everyone appreciate the quick thinking of Kahoko, but as for me, I was driven to unimaginable anger and regret. If only I drove her on her way home to her dorm then none of this would have happened. If only…then she wouldn't be here lying at the hospital bed, body filled with bruise and bite marks.
One thing that was very hard to a doctor is to treat someone very close to him. I asked one of the nurses to look after my beloved. I left the room and went to the basement. I want to see the face of the man who ruined the light out of the most special girl in my life. I scanned the hospital papers, he is a man named Tom Kurenai, half American, half Japanese.
I opened the door and saw him, his eyes were closed and the usual control I had was gone in an instant. With all my might I punched him many times on the face. It was not enough, the other doctors tried to stop me and for the first time, they saw me crying and shouting with anger. They knew what happened and took pity on me.
"Dr Tsukimori, stop it!" Dr. Tanaka said. I slumped on the floor, trying to catch my breath. The other doctors gathered around me and helped me up. I looked one last time at Tom Kurenai's body lying on the autopsy table. The doctors were about to start the autopsy when I barged in the hospital morgue.
"His death will never be enough." I uttered as I walk out of the morgue. Dr Tanaka then tapped my shoulders and said, "We are doctors, no matter how painful it is, we pledged to save lives, your work is up there at the 3rd floor, not here at the basement. Save her."
His words echoed in my mind as I walk up to where Kahoko is.
