Chapter 6: The Letter
A pair of chocolate orbs was slowly opening in the middle of dawn. Mikan, who still had a slight headache, manages to roam her eyes into the new room she was currently in.
'I'm in the hospital?' she thought.
While she managed to open her eyes and focus on the things around her, her right eye caught something that attracts her attention. It's a bouquet of Englantine Roses. She remembered that during that time, Misaki-sensei talked something about this kind of flower.
Flashback
'I would like to share to you a very interesting fact everyone. Do you know that every flower has its own meaning?' ask Misaki-sensei to his class.
The students waved their heads from left to right which left the teacher heaved a big sigh but nevertheless, he still continued.
'I only brought these since they are the only ones that are available as of the moment.' Misaki-sensei said this with pride on how he raised his flowers beautifully.
'What kind of flowers are they Misaki-sensei?' asked a very innocent Anna.
'Thank you Anna-chan for that question. For everybody's information, these are Englantine Roses. In the Language of Flowers, Englantine Rose means a "wound to heal". There a lot of flowers that I want to show to you and their meanings so look forward it to it, alright minna?'
'Hai Misaki-sensei.' the class answered in unison.
End of Flashback
'A wound to heal?' Mikan asked herself.
"Indeed, Misaki-sensei is right. There's a wound within me that needs to be healed. They may look that something is wrong with me physically but the pain is greater when it is in the inside. These kinds of hardships are not easily to deal with especially if I'm the only one battling it. Demo, it's better to suffer all alone than to let other people suffer my own problems too. It's being selfish, right Kami-sama?" Mikan talked this to no one.
"Geez, I'm talking to myself. This must be the effects of dwelling to much on my hostilities. Remember Mikan that you only have a few days to live, so make wise use out of it alright?" she said this to encourage herself.
She placed back the flowers to the table and she noticed a small paper with her name on top.
"Mikan?"
She opened the letter hurriedly and started reading it.
Mikan,
The reason why you're here is because you've fainted this morning. Your friends sent you to the hospital and according to my diagnosis, you've experienced the side effects of electrocution which triggered your entire system to work abnormally like having palpitation, the urge to vomit, headache and the trembling of the hands and legs. My sister asked why you've fainted but I didn't tell her the truth. I told her that you've experienced over fatigued.
Be careful next time Mikan. I hope that you'll get better soon. Maybe, early in the morning or late in the afternoon in these following days, you'll be released so take care of your health.

'Arigatou, Subaru-sempai Kami-sama, taskite! How will I be able to hold my current situation a secret to everybody that cares for me? Hotaru is getting suspicious but I don't want her to know or any of my friends.'
