The Call
Tsumori was sitting in the blue part of the stadium in one of the most popular school of Tokyo. Why he was here was the question he was asking himself. He was invited by one of patient's parents to watch their kid play in sports day. Tsumori had treated the child back to health from a serious ailment. Though Tsumori hated it when parents treated him like angel but he loved kids, so here he was to see faces of happy kids. Tsumori was always mistaken for a pervert who loved young kids and was a voyeur. There was no doubt Tsumori was a sly creature who loved having one-night stands with anyone who was willing to share the bed. If he could recall properly for last six years he had had numerous incidents, once he woke with one woman and another man. Another time he woke with two women, once with two men, a fifty seven year old women and number of nurses, luckily he never went for minors. Tsumori was now thirty year old and irritated due to certain someone. For last three months Tsumori was on hiatus, every time he tried seducing someone the face of the brunette with grey eyes came up. In his desperation to move away from her thought Tsumori even attempted to seduce and play little with Hiroki. Now he was regretting it as Nowaki, the only friend he had made in last six years was throwing daggers at him. He had also come to this grand sports day in hope of finding single mothers who were in general busy and were looking for fun for one day. Sadly for Tsumori he had no sex for three months and he realised he had fallen deeply for the mysterious woman- Bitch of Sapphire. Tsumori quickly deviated his thoughts, if hiatus was his written fate Tsumori was going to be on fast until he met her. So the blonde doctor narrowed his eyes and concentrated on the young kids who were happily playing with their friends and were enjoying with family. Tsumori wondered how long had it been, he too could have been father by now. So the doctor sighed and started biting his bun.
"Doctor Tsumori" said a wonderful voice
"Yes" Tsumori turned around to find one certain single mother with her daughter.
"It's a surprise to find you here?" the blonde woman spoke while her brunette daughter ran off hiding her face.
"She is shy as ever isn't she Kho-sama" Tsumori remembered this family, as he was an intern when she gave birth to her brunette daughter.
"Yeah, she is, she takes it after her father. So why are you here?" the blonde woman asked
"A parent of my patient invited me" Tsumori was honest
"I see you are all alone?" the women asked
"Technically yeah and what about you are you still a duo of two" Tsumori never felt the desire to seduce this woman
"Oh yes its mother and daughter forever, but we have another in group now" the blonde woman cheered
"So Hinamori-chan finally will have a father" Tsumori smiled
"You got it wrong, Hina-chan has found an aunt to herself, she works with me and loves crashing in our house" the women cleared
"That's nice, I hope my intern Nowaki has been taking proper care of Hina-chan" Tsumori asked
"Yeah ever since Nowaki-kun returned from USA he has grown up and is very helpful" the blonde woman smiled
"So your friend is she single?" Tsumori was blonde
"Yeah, but she is not your type doctor" she replied
"Why? I know I am not exactly take to home types" Tsumori was sad
"Well she is like you and dislikes doctor" she laughed
"Haha.. I get it, so which colour is Hina-chan representing?" Tsumori asked
"Oh shit we are green, doctor I am sorry to bore you, Hina is on other side of the stadium, my friend has not arrived yet so I must hurry. Bye take care" saying this the tall and beautiful woman ran away and Tsumori waved her bye and concentrated on eating his bun.
On the other side of the Stadium
"You better be sorry for letting Hinamori wander off alone" scolded the brunette haired woman
"Oh its ok Aunty, I won't get lost, mom knew where to find me" the small girl replied
"I know that, but there are dangerous people out here, who would love to devour my little angel" cooed the broken voice
"I am sorry Eri" the blonde women laughed
"What was holding you Matsumoto?" Aikawa pulled her hair in a ponytail
"Well I ran into the doctor who was with me at time of Hina-chan's birth" Matsumoto cried
"What's with you and doctors? You always befriend doctors. I hate doctors" Aikawa was irritated
"I don't know and you don't hate doctors, a doctor helped you I guess. Did you find out who called Isaka-san and persuaded him to actually give you two weeks off?" Matsumoto was jealous
"I have no Idea, after my secretary's wedding, I remember I went to an elite bar to settle scores with Anko and then I met someone and he fed me and took me till parking place. After that I remember fighting on the road and next day I am on Usami Sensei's couch. Later that day I get a mail from Asahina-san saying I got paid leave for two weeks and Isaka-san strictly asked me butt out of work and take a short trip to Atami." Aikawa grumbled
"Could you not Anko about the guy?" Matsumoto was too interested
"Actually in my two weeks absence the bitch decided to transfer to Kyoto" Aikawa was angrier
"Lucky for us, you took Hina-chan and me with you on your trip" Matsumoto giggled
"If I don't go with you then with whom shall I go? Misaki-kun would love if I joined him with Sensei but god I can't tolerate the man-child. It's been three months and I don't know who that guy is" Aikawa was now banging her head.
"Aunty Stop you will hurt yourself" Hinamori held on Aikawa's curvy waist
"What about your mysterious poet Kusama Haki? Take him on next trip" Matsumoto was trying to put Aikawa into a relation.
"He is wonderful person but has a extremely perfect lover I can never fight with" Aikawa smiled at the thought of Hiroki and Nowaki
"Well then you are stuck with me for rest of your life" Matsumoto sighed
"Matsumoto let's get married, I will take your surname, love Hinamori more than a father" Aikawa begged
"Aunty Can you also marry mom like people in Yaoi?" Hinamori raised big eyes in smile
"How come you know about Yaoi?" Matsumoto looked at Hinamori, who was partially being raised by Aikawa
"Aunty told me" Hinamori smiled
"You there don't teach my daughter stuff mature then her age, and I am not lesbian that I will marry you stupid woman. You need a real man and dating you are growing crazy staying with us" Mastsumoto folded her arms on her beautiful chest and frowned at Aikawa.
"But I love you guys" Aikawa pleaded
"Hina-chan will you excuse mom and aunty here, go and put your name in competition" Matsumoto rubbed her daughter's face
"Okay mom" it was never surprising how this little girl of six was growing too mature
"Sweetie, I have been intending to tell you this for a while now" Matsumoto's tone became serious as she turned towards Aikawa
"What?" Aikawa became serious too
"When was the last time you had an apartment?" Matsumoto asked
"I have an apartment Matsumoto" Aikawa grumbled
"Well if you call your car an apartment, than its fine. But I am serious here" Matsumoto sat on the bench and patted the place besides here indicating Aikawa to sit
"Matsumoto what's going on?" Aikawa was now doubtful
"For last five years you have had no permanent apartment. It all started on Hina-chan's first birthday when you crashed with us for first time remember?" Matsumoto smiled
"Yeah, five years" Aikawa smiled
"You have been living in suitcases, you have your clothes and shoes in my home, your books stay in Usami-san's house, your car practically uses my parking space as I have no car. You eat with us sometimes; you date men and sleep with them in weird love hotels. You sometimes sleep in Asahina-san's office room. You practically have no home, but one car that's your only possession. Aikawa its time you grow up. Nowadays you can't even crash at Usami-san's house. Your work is what keeping you going. Aikawa what is fucking wrong with you?" Matsumoto hit her head with the water bottle
"Ouch it hurts, it's not that, I don't realise, I just, just am not ready to settle into a house practically all by myself" Aikawa turned her face away
"That's why I am being a good friend and kicking you out of my house" Matsumoto giggled
"What? No please, I can pay seventy percent of rent" Aikawa begged
"Idiot, I own my apartment, so you can't pay rent stupid woman" Matsumoto again hit Aikawa on the head.
"Oh yeah" Aikawa agreed
"So you have two weeks to get yourself an apartment with a place you call kitchen and bathroom" Matsumoto became serious
"So you are giving me deadlines" Aikawa smiled
"Well that's what we editors understand don't we" Matsumoto hugged Aikawa
"I wish we editors could edit out some parts of reality from our life" Aikawa hugged her back.
Two years later
Aikawa parked her golden car and walked towards the elevator. On her way to the elevator she was greeted by the security guard. She smiled at him and walked past the middle aged couple who lived above her. The old lady who lived at the same floor as her greeted her. Aikawa personally hated her, the old lady was a gossipmonger and two years back when Aikawa rushed into her new apartment she hovered around her door. The old lady also spread humours that Aikawa was a worker in host club and part time hooker due to her odd timings of going out. It was true Aikawa left in the evening often returned late at night. Other time she would not return for days as she would live at a friend's house. Hence thanks to this old lady Aikawa had practically no friends in building. The housewives hated are as man eater, the husbands looked at her as an immoral woman. The old people found her too modern. This woman gave her a headache so she quickly passed her without talking. The elevator door opened and she rushed inside. She started scrolling her phone for the number she managed from Nowaki . Everything had to go according to her plan, it was her aim in life to make people happy, edit out the sad and input the happy. She considered herself the human cupid; it was her divine destiny to marry her friends in grand style. Hiroki and Nowaki were going to be the first gay couple she was helping out. But this was the twenty fifth wedding Aikawa was giving her blessing too. Aikawa was also jealous not in a hateful way, but sad way. She had been organising weddings since the age of sixteen; she loved the idea of one happy day when all people had good food and nice dresses. She was a ordinary woman who loved fluffy and cute, she loved sweet and pink. She was she, yet she cursed herself. But she chose to stay away from love, she had a fear, a deep fear and only she could live with it. Aikawa feared heartache, once was enough, her heart had shattered that she feared it would harm the next person she loved. Hence she decided to delve into single nights of love making and occasional flings for a week or two. The elevator door opened and she walked out towards her apartment and opened the door. Finally she found the number Nowaki gave and hit the call button. The phone kept ringing, first ring, second, third on forth it was received.
"Hello Tsumori here" the deep voice blew her senses away. She remembered the voice, she had heard it somewhere. It reminded her of the voice from her dreams- Prince of Affairs
On the other side of the city
"Great work everyone, I am proud of you" Tsumori clapped the back of the new interns
"Senpai, thanks to you for explaining" said the younger doctor
"Don't thank me, thank the patient to have the will to live okay" Tsumori smiled
"Awashima-san, did Nowaki leave?" Tsumori asked
"Yes he left an hour ago, he had a ten hour straight duty Tsumori-san" The head nurse replied
"That brat, I asked him to work six hours maximum" Tsumori sighed
"Actually Monica-sama was stuck with police, she was helping accident victims, so Nowaki-san took over as you and others were in emergency ward" Awashima replied flatly
"Senpai, why is Nowaki-senpai getting leniency in working hours?" a bold intern asked
"Oh Satou-kun, when Nowaki was intern under me, he worked hard thrice then you, he completed residency in one year. For last two years the boy had worked and worked. I guess since he is getting married he deserves this much from us right boys?" Tsumori smiled
"Yes Senpai" all spoke in unison
"Now excuse me, I need to grab a puff" Tsumori stood near the window and inhaled his cigarette
"That was very nice of Tsumori-san" Kotoko smiled and placed a glass of juice for him
"Kotoko-san, tell me why you and Awashima-san treat me like a nice person?" Tsumori always wondered why the head nurse and this young girl did little things to make him feel better
"We do care for you because we all are a family right? Nowaki-san always tells us that we need to care for each other no matter what" Kotoko smiled at Tsumori and started to walk towards the door.
"Thank you Kotoko" Tsumori sighed
"Umm doctor welcome, but please quit smoking, she will not like it if you stink" Kotoko left
"I wonder with this work schedule if we can ever meet, or if I will get to hear your voice. You are so near yet so far" Tsumori drank his juice and ran his hand in his blonde hair. That's when his phone started to ring. He kept his glass and started to search his phone which was inside his inner pocket. Finally he found it to see an unknown number flashing. It had been a while that he received death threats or yelling from his ex-lovers, so he feared it might be them. But he decided to pick it up anyway.
"Hello, Tsumori here" Tsumori answered
"Hello, Doctor, I am Eri Aikawa, friend of Hiroki and Nowaki, we both have a wedding to attend" Tsumori's eyes grew at the broken voice. It was the same voice of broken bamboo, he heard two years back and two weeks back on television
"I am sorry, I didn't get you miss" Before his mind could process reaction his mouth was talking
"You are Doctor Tsumori right, Kusama Nowaki's Senpai?" The voice was bit surprised and irritated
"Yes I am" Tsumori wanted to shout 'it's me, it's me we meet two years ago'
"So you heard me right then" the voice concluded
"Explain" Tsumori did not wanted to be the asshole in love to jump on words
"Sure, you are going to organize Nowaki-kun's bachelor party and you are his best man too" She was clear and sound
"Correct" Tsumori chose one word reply
"Well I will need your help so we ought to meet" it was assumed she smiled
"But when's the wedding? Until I have the date, I can't steal Nowaki from his beloved" Tsumori wanted to talk more about him but refrained
"Oh, that, it's August 10th" She was amused at her change of voice
"Less than three weeks" Tsumori actually became happy.
"Yup, so we have to meet and plan the bachelor party" the voice said we, Tsumori was drowning in we.
"I am the best-man, so I organize it, why are you thumping your heart Madame Aikawa?" But the man in Tsumori needed to clear it.
"I have to see the bachelor party" the answer was simple and authoritative
"But no woman is allowed in bachelor party" Tsumori slowly realised, his lady love was interested in perverted thoughts
"That's true in case of straight wedding, not gay wedding" She agreed
"We really need to meet don't we" Tsumori didn't want to delay the meeting. When an intern rushed in and indicated of an emergency case
"Yes, that's my boy, when are you free?" Aikawa giggled
"Your boy? Not until Saturday. My Sunday is a day off" Tsumori thought about my boy, she was as blunt as ever
"Hiroki's parents are organizing the engagement party this Sunday. See you there then" the voice seemed to be damn interested in this wedding.
"But I am not invited" Tsumori wanted to dig more
"All the best man and relatives are, so you are too. I am the organizer remember" this was the answer Tsumori was looking for
"Okay Madame Aikawa" Tsumori couldn't help but blurt it out
"Call me Eri" the voice said
"Eri it is" Tsumori smiled, but the intern kept poking his head in and out
"Sweet of you" the voice praised him
"Well Eri I have an emergency to take care off. Bye take care" Tsumori did not want to end his call but he had to
"Bubbye" The voice too was hesitant to say bye
As Tsumori walked out of the restroom, a smile pasted to his face. He saved her number and decided to make sure he works straight till Sunday evening, so that he could meet her. The wait was finally over. Tsumori was galloping towards emergency room. Only Awashima and Kotoko guessed the reason, rest of the interns were confused at what happened to their head.
NEXT Day
As Tsumori walked out of another emergency, he dropped his head on the nearest couch. He raised his long legs and pulled them on the couch. Slowly he stretched his legs and hands and within moments he was drifting to sleep. In his sleep he heard her voice again and again he kept running towards the voice finally he met her smiling in her white gown smiling at him. Stay he shouted, she vanished happily and shouting back I Love You. Before Tsumori could yell, a sharp pain on his head woke him up.
"Ouch... that hurtttss" Tsumori ran his hands in his hair
"Does it now?" Awashima was standing with her hands on her back
"Yeah" the blonde pleaded
"legs down Mister. And here take it" Awashima handed out a green envelop
"What's this?" Tsumori asked
"Nowaki-kun's invitation for party" saying this she left
"Thanks" Tsumori mumbled and opened the green envelop to find invitation for engagement party.
The blonde doctor ran his hands on the writing and smiled. He found a small pink paper attached inside the envelope. Tsumori pulled it out and his eyes grew in surprise to find it from Eri Aikawa. He pulled the paper to find the writings inside.
"Hello doctor.
Here is your invitation. I look forward to meeting you in the party. If you don't find me do check around the food buffet and you will find me. Please come in formals and try to avoid I am doctor air with that white coat okay.
Ciao Aikawa"
