"By the window I can see everything that's happening, but the feeling of the tension is something I am missing."
-Chizuru Ayaka
Chizuru looked out of the window, sitting straight on her hospital bed.
She could tell the wind was blowing the trees making it dance. How she wished she could dance with it along with her racquet.
There was a knock on the door.
"Miss Chizuru, you have a guest" the nurse called.
"Ah, come in" she said fixing herself.
In came a boy with silver hair.
"Chou-chan!" her eyes sparkled and quickly clung to him, like a koala who had finally found its perfect eucalyptus tree.
Choutarou gave a short chuckle.
"Tell me! Tel me! How's the tennis world? Did you win? Tell me! Tell me!" Chizuru excitedly thumped.
The nurse chuckled at the patient's antics.
"Okay, calm down! Sit first!" Choutarou smiled
"Just give me a call if you need me" the nurse informed.
Chizuru gave a nod and gave her full attention to Choutarou.
After a brief 30 minutes of telling his story he got up and said, " I've brought some fresh fruits, mother insisted me to bring" he smiled.
"Tarou! Tarou!" she ask crouching in one corner.
He gave a sweat drop.
"Oooh~! Grapes! Tangerine oranges! And ah! Apples!" Chizuru brighten.
"I'm glad to see you smile again"
"Don't worry I'm not mad. I know you're just concern" she said as she started for the bathroom door fruits in hand.
"Hey I'll do that!" he said.
"Gomen! Chori-chori!" she said in a weak voice.
Choutarou came back with the fresh fruits washed.
Chizuru was on her bed staring blankly on the ceiling.
"When the sun shines,
I will always be there
When the rain falls,
I am still there!
When you keep falling, my hands all giving,
So come to me and give me your smile" she sang.
It was the lullaby her mother used to sing to her before she (mother) died 4 years ago.
"Ayaka" Choutarou called as he brushed her hair
"Chou...how was the tennis match?" she asks weakly.
"It was fine. Here I got something for you" he said as he rummaged through his pocket. He got out a cell phone keychain that its design was an orange racquet with a small gold and pink bell.
Chizuru made all the effort to sit on her bed, "Chou...it's so cute!" she said as she took hold of it, then getting some grapes.
"I knew you'll like it" he said as he peeled a tangerine orange.
Chizuru ringed the bell pushing it. Ring...ring...came its soft small sound.
"Hey Choutarou!" a guy with a cap called outside.
"Eep! Who's there! What do you want!" Chizuru panicked.
In came 7 boys...no they just opened the door but Shishido did went in and Ayaka frantically hid behind Choutarou.
"Shishido-san? Minna-san?" Choutarou stood up. "Chou?" she asks hiding behind him.
"Hey wait a minute...you were that girl 3 days ago!" Shishido pointed.
Chizuru frowned, "And I thought Hyoutei people are as polite as Chou. Chori-chori!" she said.
The regulars sweatdrop at her catchphrase.
"My name is Chizuru Ayaka" she said.
Brown hair, pale lips, white skin. Yes she was the same person back at that day.
Atobe shot her and Ootori a curious stare, "Choutarou is she your girlfriend?" he asked.
Choutarou blushed at the thought.
"Ahaha! I'm Choutarou's best! Best! Beessst! Friend!" she announced childishly.
"Ah! You must be Atobe-sempai, Chou says you're a king – a king when it comes to his pride I see" she concluded. "Oh! And you're their buchuo too! A respected one!" she pointed out.
Before she could point to the tensai her stomach grumbled, "Oops!" she said and turned to get some tangerine orange.
after a brief minute of swallowing the grapes...she started seriously...
"I have felt the nostalgia and so does the pain. I have perfected the smile that is not, but I haven't felt the things that I've wanted so much...Chou when I get out of here on Sunday, play a match with me" she said as she sat on her bed, soft as any weak people can pronounce.
"I f you behave" he answered.
"Roger that sir!" she smiled.
"Visiting hours are almost over, I think it's best if you guys head out now. I'll see you in a few days Choutarou" she smiled.
"Mah, you know I kinda pity you" Gakuto said.
Chizuru gave a gigge, "A-aren't you honest? Neh, sempai?" she said.
But before Gakuto answered Ayaka was on her knees coughing.
"Ayaka!" Choutarou called
"I'm fine" – cough, cough – " I just felt dizzy and I think I expressed to much happiness that's all" Ayaka grasped her sleeve.
"Nurse! Nurse!" Choutarou shouted.
Oshitari made an action, pressing the red emergency button. The nurse took a peek and shouted, "Quick! The oxygen! Nebulizer! Medicine for Miss Chizuru! Hurry!".
Shishido and Hiyoshi helped Ayaka up her bed. She kept coughing non-stop.
The nurse came assisting her in medicine after that Ayaka fell asleep.
"Will she be alright?" Choutarou asked worriedly.
"As long as she can breathe and – as long as someone there is willing to be a heart donor" the nurse said as she put on a nebulizer.
"It's hard to tell when the patient's suffering with a fake smile on" she said in a worried tone.
"But sirs..." she trailed.
"Yes?" Atobe ask
"...it's nice if you would all leave for now – the doctor might get mad. You see he really takes a daughter complexion to Miss Chizuru, even though he's just a family doctor" the nurse winked. With that the regulars got out.
"Can we visit tomorrow?" Gakuto found himself asking Ootori.
"I guess its fine" Ootori said.
"Honestly what are you telling her, Choutarou?" Hiyoshi asked suspiciously.
Choutaoru laughed nervously as the soon-to-be captain and captain eyed him suspiciously.
His phone suddenly rang, he read;
'Smile! I'll be a free bird after days!'
~Aya99~
He smiled and closed his phone. A soon to be free bird...Chizuru Ayaka, the girl with Congenital Heart Disease.
Note:
Chori-chori! is Ayaka's favorite catchphrase though in Hindu it means "stealthily" or "secretly" It is a kind of metaphor used in Hindi to indicate some things happening slowly and steadily without anyones knowledge ? This is mere accident or coincedence, but in anyway if I did offend hindu I will use a different catchphrase then in order to give respect.
I just got it from yahoo asnwers. It wasn't intended at first though, but somehow it's related to the story O.o OMYGOD! I made a discovery! XD hahaha!
