The Distraction
"Asahina she is dead!" Isaka exclaimed as he walked into his apartment and kneeled in front of Aikawa who was on his couch and Isaka was removing her brown bangs from her pale face
"No she is in deep in sleep, doctor gave her sleeping pills" Asahina informed his lover
"Oh she looks so pale huh?" Isaka patted her face
"Ryuichiro-sama she is not a doll stop poking her" Asahina pulled Isaka away
"Kauro, did I do the right thing? Bringing her in my home? Isaka sat near Aikawa looked at her dangling hands on the couch
"Yes. It looks like she has no place to go. Luckily we found her in the office that night. Matsumoto informed me that Aikawa has been living in suitcases for months now" Asahina said with his poker face
"God a single heartbreak can kill, this idiot I have to save her. It feels like we have twenty three year old daughter with us" Isaka laughed
"Well your father thinks you fell in love with her and is thinking about marrying you two" Asahina smirked
"That old man..." Isaka fumed.
Twenty three year old Aikawa had been found by Isaka when he went to look at the department of Sapphire. Isaka's eyes had caught a single beam of light escaping from the unlocked door. Isaka went inside to find Aikawa on the floor and shivering. Within moments Asahina joined him and decided to take the girl to doctor. Aikawa was unconscious and her face looked stained from frequent sobs, her eyes were puffed up, her hair in mess and in Asahina's arm she felt like a child. Both men drove her to doctor who suggested complete rest for the girl for three days. Apparently, Aikawa's only relative lived in Osaka and the only friend she had was Mastumoto now lived with her infant daughter. Isaka suggested it was better to take her to his apartment. For two days the girl was living with them, Isaka had noticed the jovial smile was missing from her face and her zeal to work had gone down for past few months. He had let her be as he did not want to be imposing. But the information Asahina collected told that Aikawa dealt with major heartbreak a year before and was keeping a big face, but on that particular night she finally broke. She had been living with girls she worked or at the author's house or just crashed in love hotels alone just to sleep. Over all it was sure that this girl had been avoiding her home. Aikawa had been walking in the house like a zombie and saying sorry every time Isaka tried to speak. Finally now she was on the couch, sleeping like a child. That day Isaka decided to take charge of her life and make her his first disciple. Aikawa woke up and gave a weak smile to the young director of Murakawa.
"Asahina our daughter is awake" Isaka called his lover
"Daughter?" Aikawa looked confused
"You are my adopted daughter" Isaka smirked
"You are nuts boss" Aikawa grumbled
"Already talking back to your dad huh? Feeling better?" Isaka helped her sit beside him properly
"Yeah, sorry for the trouble and thank you" Aikawa said sincerely
"Look kid, I really don't want to know how your heart broke or what happened. I was the one who hired you when you were fourteen in our Osaka Children's wing. I was the one who forced my father to grab you as one of the sub-editor of Diamond and editor for Sapphire as soon as you bagged post-graduate cap last year" Isaka smiled
"I thank you" Aikawa mumbled
"Aikawa-san, Ryuichiro-sama means to say he has seen potential in you. We don't want your talent to go waste. Just because something terrible happened to your personal life you can't drown in depression. I hope you feel better" Asahina walked in with three bowls of soup
"I understand, Asahina-san, Isaka-san thank you for taking care of me. But...But.." Aikawa was without words
"But it pains.. We know" Isaka helped her
"Yeah. Now drink Asahina's awesome food and I will tell you a plan" Isaka pulled the coffee table so that he could keep his bowl on it
"Plan?" Aikawa looked
"Yeah, Ryuichiro-sama's plan to be business Conquistar**" Asahina smiled
"Huh?" Aikawa looked more confused
"Look, I have decided to ride this company to the top. Asahina is my Knight in my Shining Armour and you can be my Personal Advisor and my child. I want to be the President of the company; Asahina for sure will decline the post of Vice-President. But I need people who are moulded by me. That new boy from Emerald what's his name Tanaka? Tadami?..." Isaka looked forgetful
"Masamune Takano" Asahina added
"Yeah Takano, You, Takafumi, Katagiri, Matsumoto and few others can be my child to be partner in my crimes. So are you willing to be my follower and willing to kick some butts literally in pages?" Isaka smiled
"You mean if I work hard and follow you and I can become Vice-President?" Aikawa asked with big eyes
"There's more to it, Work Smart! And when I retire you can become the President?" Isaka knew how to throw baits.
"I will stick to Vice-President. But you have to teach me how to work smart" Aikawa finally gave a big smile
"But first we need recreate you" Asahina pointed out
"Huh? Aikawa looked confused
"Your dressing has to change, your manner and yes your glasses has to go my dear" Isaka smiled
"Okay" Aikawa nodded
"Eri, when was the last time you had hot one night stands and slammed the door without regret?" Isaka asked
"Never" Aikawa again looked gloomy
"Well be prepared to charm hearts and have loads of sex" Isaka laughed
"You want me to be a corporate slut?" Aikawa smirked
"The answer is NO! But were you not the loyal wife for how many years was that again?" Isaka asked
"Five years, two months, nine days" Aikawa grumbled
"Till the day you finally find 'the one' break your morals, Katagiri is on the chase, trust me you will not break hearts but enjoy too much. You are way too young to die in depression, you need to look beautiful, eat more, drink more and have sex like rabbits and work like a pro" Isaka laughed
"Aikawa-san, but yes keep your dignity higher than your heels" Asahina added
"So are you willing to let us help you become a free person, totally independent, confident and scary one?" Isaka asked
"Since you both are gay, I thrust you the most" Aikawa hugged Isaka and Asahina chuckled
Back to present time-seven years later
"Isaka-san, I am not your daughter. Geez! I am safe and sound" Aikawa was grumbling on the phone and was lazing on Tsumori's divan and looking at Tsumori who was doing exercise out in the huge balcony. Aikawa was drooling at the toned body that was now in bare chest and sweat pants.
"The last time I heard you were safe was when you punched me for intimidating chibi-tan and you were running from me. Is this Tsumori guy safe? He is not a psycho killer or is it a trap?" Isaka was yelling from the other side.
"I know I know, yes yes, it's not a trap! I am fine, I think, No! God how many days has it been you did not get fucked?" Aikawa yelled back and was laughing at the sight of the golden hair being drenched in sweat and glowing under the morning sunlight. Tsumori was driving her insane every moment.
"Don't get cocky brat, don't forget I am your mentor. Yeah Asahina is away with his parents for three days and I am fucking horny but that's not the point. I am worried it's a doctor, last time you were crumbled in my couch because a certain doctor pulverised your whole being" Isaka yelled back
"I am not being cocky! I knew it, I knew it... Just go and have sex will you. Usami-san's manuscript is in my locker. Trust me Tsumori is a nice guy, no for your happiness I have not fucked him yet!" Aikawa was banging her head on the pillow as she wanted to bite Tsumori's tanned arms which were gracefully moving in and out.
"I got Usami's transcript I already edited it, please be careful will you? Thank God you are still virgin with him. As for how am I to fuck myself? Asahina is away and my hands have given up the job years back. Any way be careful Eri" Isaka was now pulling his hair and kicking his apartment
"Hey Tsumori what you think you are doing?" Aikawa jumped as Tsumori had entered the drawing room and took the cell phone from her hand.
"Hello Mr. Whoever it is, relax man, Aikawa is fine I don't intend to sleep with her now, but yes she is too sexy to let go. Her health has improved under my care, and yes I am doctor and a good one. I am Tsumori Sajin, you can check up on me and call my hospital Musashino Medical College where I work. Now have good day" Tsumori disconnected the call while Isaka on the other side clearly recalled the voice that had spoken with him two years back. Isaka smiled as it was the same guy Aikawa was searching for two years like north wind ravaging the ocean.
"You just fought with my boss" Aikawa laughed
"Oh sorry again, how old is he seventy or eighty?" Tsumori sat near his love life and started to dry his neck and face with towel
" Again? No he is thirty four and hot piece of ass" Aikawa laughed and inhaled Tsumori's salty smell and ran her fingers on his clean well defined chest.
"I bet he is gay too" Tsumori recalled Isaka's voice from the conversation he had two years back pretty well and he bit his tongue for using the word again frequently.
"Ah ha.. Asahina-san his secretary and lover is one jealous bitch. But they are nice, though I am the slut because they wanted to help me years back from depression. Fools! You know what they called me? Daughter! My colleague Katagiri is their elder daughter and I am the younger" Aikawa was giggling and tracing his torso and abs shamelessly.
"Daughter what the hell?" Tsumori laughed and pulled her closer and held her hand which was making his thoughts scarce.
"Yeah, he literally moulded me and created me and guided me into the happening publishing world you see. He is like the Freudian Father to me" Aikawa giggled and craned her neck to reach Tsumori's lips.
"Talk about Freud, you know you are way too sexy, I might eat you up right now" Tsumori pulled Aikawa's face and was kissing her lips softly
"Marry me" Aikawa snapped without a blink while her hands were coiled around Tsumori's bare waist.
"Okay" Tsumori agreed with a grinned
"No.. No...No" Aikawa looked afraid and startled and pulled herself away from the doctor and reclined back on the window.
"Marry or No marry?" Tsumori looked confused and sat properly on the divan to face her
"I meant, .." Aikawa lost her words as she grabbed a pillow and hugged it
"You like me, if this relation works, you will want to marry me. But we haven't had sex yet, you don't want sex to ruin the future of a long relation. But deep down you think I am the one for you, you want to decode me and fix the puzzle as I seem known but you can't recall my influence" Tsumori grinned at Aikawa who was startled at the doctor who spoke the words in her mind, Aikawa gulped her voice and Tsumori covered the distance between both and pushed Aikawa against the window and kissed her lips again.
"Correct, but Tsumori this time I want to marry pretty early" Aikawa mumbled under the kiss
"This time you say? You were waiting to marry before but too much of wait ruins the future huh?" Tsumori looked into the sad eyes of Aikawa and broke from the frenzy of lust
"Yeah, I was in a relation for fucking five years but not to get married but to find my heart being chopped by butcher knife. I won't be easy catch this time Doctor-san" Aikawa pushed Tsumori and walked towards his big open balcony in his big T-shirt which barely covered her buttocks and highlighted her tonned long legs.
"This time again? Last time you gave in easily huh? Aikawa guess what?" Tsumori called after her and followed her into his big balcony
"What?" Aikawa turned around
"The day my eyes saw you, I had decided that you were going to be mine" Tsumori walked behind her
"Awww... prove it" Aikawa turned around pulled the blonde by his neck and planted a kiss on his lips
"Just wait, once we are in Maine, you won't be able to stay away from me. You will be desperate to make love to me and I will be more horny than I am right now" Tsumori kissed her back
"I think I am falling for you. But correct me I have a feeling we have meet before but I can't catch the memory. If we did, tell me please" Aikawa looked straight into Tsumori's eyes
"Yes we have. But I am not going to tell you when and where. You love romance and fairytale I have the right to give you a fairytale huh?" Tsumori cupped her face.
"Yes, that will be interesting so till Hiroki and Nowaki-kun's wedding I will try to remember? But can we both remain celibate till the wedding day?" Aikawa laughed but Tsumori understood she was serious.
"Deal" Tsumori laughed
"Then drive me mad till Hiroki and Nowaki-kun's wedding so that on their wedding night we are making love too and I will be the one who will be forcing you to stay in bed till late afternoon. How's the plan Doctor-san?" Aikawa smirked
"Perfect one future Mrs Tsumori!" Tsumori was going to make her fall for him badly and was going keep her with him forever he could not stop hugging her.
Aikawa was fixing some DVD while Tsumori was sitting beside her and munching the popcorn. Though both wanted to do many things week of tiredness had caught up their legs. So both decided to watch a film and laze around the house. Finally Tsumori picked up one as Aikawa too busy recalling the reviews. Both nestled together on the couch and started to watch the movie. By default Tsumori had picked up a very romantic film and Aikawa was all mushy by the second half. The doctor did not know what to do so he patted her head and started at the screen. Aikawa had cuddled inside his arms and was really glued to the film. By the time film got over Aikawa was a puddle.
"Hey cry baby" Tsumori laughed
"What?" Aikawa laughed between her hiccups and tears
"Are you really the same girl I met a week before who was scaring the shit out of her summer fling?" Tsumori tickled her
"Hey.. I am a girl okay, I love pink, I love softtoys and I love cute romantic movies. They make me happy and miserable too" Aikawa punched Tsumori in the arm.
"Ouch bitch. Miserable?" Tsumori looked
"Everything is perfect in movies, hair, makeup, shoes dress, weather, job, house. Than I recall oh crap my life is an imperfect one" Aikawa laughed
"I have a plan for both of us" Tsumori giggled
"Shoot" Aikawa snorted
"Why don't you stay in my place till the wedding?" Tsumori asked
"Ah.. Awesome idea, but we will hardly see each other even if we are in one room" Aikawa laughed
"Yeah this week will be hectic, for this reason I want you to stay with me" Tsumori informed
"OOkay.. it saves me the trouble of telephone bill" Aikawa nodded
"So tomorrow after work you will head to my home and bring your necessary things for next twenty days" Tsumori smiled
"I will be living with a man almost after seven years haha!" Aikawa was shaking
"Relax, I will prepare any room you want, or you can have my bedroom" Tsumori informed
"Actually I like cuddling with you" Aikawa smiled and winked
"I really like you Aikawa you are such a blunt woman" Tsumori wiped off her drying tears.
)(*&^%$# #$%^&*())(*&^%$# ! #$%^&*()_)(*&^%$#
"Awashima-san relax I won't freak her out. Trust me she is the one" Tsumori was talking on the phone from his bathroom
"Is she safe Tsumori?" the old woman asked
"She is safe, I swear on my mother she is fine, I have not touched her" Tsumori was pleading
"Stop lying and don't swear on your healthy mother. I saw you kissing her that night in hospital and you haven't touched her. Seriously?" Awashima said in a deadpan voice
"Okay okay, I kissed her hmmm.. more than five times, but no sex. We have decided we will not sleep till Nowaki's wedding. Guess what I asked her to stay with me till the wedding. She agreed!" Tsumori was excited
"You haven't made her say yes on gun point right?" Awashima giggled
"What's with you suddenly? You are behaving like you did six or seven years back" Tsumori frowned
"You want the same treatment you got seven years back?" Awashima grumbled on her phone
"Yes I remember that pretty well" Tsumori's eyes grew large as his hand traced his right cheek
Almost seven years back
Doctor Tsumori with his messy blonde hair and shabby dress was standing in front of the plump lady Awashima the head nurse. Tsumori had been working for fifteen hours every day, he left work for food and returned back to hospital and slept there. Awashima had been watching the genius doctor sulk and go crazy. So finally she caught hold off him and slapped him hard on the face.
"Huh what the hell was that for? Why are you slapping me oldie-chan?" Tsumori frowned; the slap had rotated his brains
"For being a miserable human you are right now" Awashima saying this planted another slap
"Bitch, what do you think you are doing?" Tsumori was heavily intoxicated and was stumbling
"That was for being an idiot you are right now" another slap graced Tsumori
"You are a crazy lady!" Tsumori sat on the couch despite being hit he couldn't be angry with Awashima
"You are not drinking in my hospital got it?" Awashima was serious
"Sorry" Tsumori pouted
"Secondly, stop fucking around with my nurses you son of a gun" Awashima hit Tsumori's head with the report board
"Well I did not fuck around, it's just every week I seduced one girl. One day I did it on your table, another day in my cabin, another time on the operating ta..." Tsumori was again hit
"You will not go after my nurses, it has been too much to handle, you have slept with all the unmarried nurses, broken their hearts and the worst is you fail to recall their names! You have created trouble for everyone!. No nurse wants to work with you in night shifts" Awashima was slapping Tsumori again and again. Tsumori was sitting their without putting up a defence.
"I am sorry, I will not do it again" Tsumori mumbled
"Look brat, you got your heart broken, I can understand, but breaking others heart is not a justification okay" Awashima sat near him
"I know, but.." Tsumori was crying
"But it pains huh?" Awashima patted him
"Yeah" Tsumori nodded
"So wait till the day the real one comes who will wipe your pain away okay?" Awashima sighed
"What if there is no one?" Tsumori asked covering his face with his hands
"Everybody has some one they will love till the end, you just have to find her" Awashima smiled
"So your nurses are off limit?" Tsumori smirked still with tears in his eyes
"Any girl is off limit if you plan to break her heart!" Awashima scolded
"So what do you suggest?" Tsumori asked
"I can't ask you reform over night, just try to sleep with those girls who go drinking in the bar and don't care about being left alone in the morning or won't care about leaving you in the morning" Awashima sighed as that's the worst advise she had ever given
"Okay, so no nurses, but the female doctors?" Tsumori teased
"Forget about it!" Awashima punched him and left him on the couch. Tsumori laid there for another hour and drifted off to sleep. When he woke up he was over his hangover and sat up on the couch cursing himself for being jerk. He again covered his face with hands and pressing his fingers on his temple he decided to separate his sex life and work life. He decided not seduce the female nurses or doctors from his hospital. After few moments the vacancy besides him was occupied and Awashima was patting Tsumori. When he looked around the old nurse handed him a glass of juice and stood up.
"Awashima-san thank you" Tsumori gave a weak smile
"Brat this hospital belongs to your father, I have worked under him for ages now, I can't let his son ruin the hospital or let you fall" Awashima smiled
"Yes I forgot it's my father's hospital" Tsumori laughed and waved Awashima who closed the door.
Seven Years later
Tsumori was cooking dinner in his now well furnished kitchen and Aikawa was walking around the huge condo and exploring the rooms. She felt like she was in Usami's house only the area and colour play was different. Unlike Usami Tsumori did not have collection of toys or weird water pets. Tsumori was trying to absorb his lady love's movement but failed to understand what she was looking for. He went back to cooking the salmon and decided to let her be. Aikawa was checking every nook and corner and trying register everything in her brain so that she could use the apartment as a setting for her mangakas who failed to create new backgrounds. No matter what her true passions as editor were always with her. Aikawa found two huge practically empty bedrooms other than Tsumori's master bedroom. A guest room stood opposite to the master bedroom besides it was another room which was closed, which Aikawa had noticed the first day of her stay. Finally the brown haired long legged woman emerged now in a yellow shirt and green boxers and stood in front of Tsumori. Tsumori was busy now cooking the curry and Aikawa was concentrating on him.
"Tsumori" Aikawa spoke softly
"Yeah" the doctor looked up with a smile
"This place is fucking huge" Aikawa grinned
"Yeah I know, took me three years to pay for the flooring and interiors" Tsumori was proud of his home
"But don't you read books at all?" Aikawa asked tilting her head
"Oh so you found my lack of knack for reading" Tsumori winked
"You don't read at all?" Aikawa's jaws dropped, her whole life revolved around words and stories
"I do read, medical journals, medical murder mysteries and yes at times I read the award winning books. But I am not being cliché here but after working and keeping a face up I don't feel like reading even the reports of patient" Tsumori said honestly
"O I understand. It's been ages I have met someone who doesn't belong to my profession of words" Aikawa consoled
"I do read Usami Akihiko, our hospital library has been donated with good collection from Kamijou-san" Tsumori poured the curry into the bowl and moved to bring the pot for rice
"He is one of the finest writer of the country. You know when he was eighteen his manuscript was bought to Murakawa publishing house. My boss Isaka-san found him, funny thing his first editor was me and I was seventeen" Aikawa laughed
"How come you became his editor despite being younger than him?" Tsumori was perplexed
"Isaka-san is a smart ass, he felt only people of fellow age could understand the flaws and needs. So I was sent his manuscripts in Osaka and we would correspond through letters. But trouble for Sensei fell when I moved to Tokyo, I grabbed his keys and from then we have a war" Aikawa was laughing at times when she almost killed Akihiko
"Why do I feel you are crazy?" Tsumori laid their dinner of rice, curry and salmon and pulled Aikawa to the dining table
"You still doubt about my craziness?" Aikawa bowed and took her plate and sat down
"Itadakimasu" Tsumori spoke after her
"You are a good cook" Aikawa complimented
"Thank you" the doctor nodded
"So what's the secret behind the closed door?" Aikawa asked
"It's not a slaughter house relax" Tsumori laughed
"Disappointing" Aikawa pouted
"You were expecting slaughter house huh? What are you?" Tsumori had to laugh at her antics
"Well you are a doctor so my imagination went wild. But the closed door intrigued me" Aikawa was a curious cat by birth
"If you want I can open it for you, but I think you should wait. Let us know each other well first?" Tsumori suggested offering her the meat from his curry to Aikawa.
"I am a patient person so I will wait" Aikawa in one move took the meat from the dangling chopsticks in Tsumori's hands.
