Kahoko's POV

When all things start to crumble, are you going to lose hope for someone you love? Are you going to give up and try to live an empty life? Or are you going to fight, even though the future is uncertain?

-----

It's been two months since that dreadful night. Len's is still lying peacefully in the hospital bed, not moving. His condition is still the same, or is becoming worse. What did he do to have this fate?

The letter from Azuma helped me. It cleared up everything. Now, I understand what he wants and why he did that. After I received the letter, I tried to reach them, successfully. My friendship with him and Ayano became stronger. They always call, asking for Len's condition or the baby's. They are both excited for the twins; they're coming back to Japan just to see them.

My stomach is now pretty big, making it hard for me to move. The twins inside are constantly kicking, which is giving me a hard time. Good thing Hamai Misa is always there, and so is my mother. They really love babies.

-----

"Hey.", I whispered to sleeping Len. I brushed his hair because it starts to fall in his face.

"You know what? The twins are getting bigger everyday in my stomach. They are excited to see their daddy.", a tear fell from my face. I hold his hand, and kissed his wrist.

"Everyone is visiting you every now and then. They help me in moving around. Our moms are so happy that the babies are going to be born soon. They even started shopping for their clothes and accessories." I laughed a little, remembering our moms shopping at a baby store weeks ago.

"Everyone isn't only waiting for the twins. They are also waiting for you to wake up. You've been asleep for 2 months now. You sure are gaining strength.", I continued. I call his condition asleep; coma is just hard to believe in.

"Len, please wake up. For the people who are happy to hear you play. For our our family. For the twins. For me.", more tears started to come.

"Remember when we played Ave Maria at Shouku's summer house years ago? I missed that time. I miss the times when we play together and we are in our world. I miss hearing your music." I got my violin from the case, and positioned my face.

"This is for you Len.", I said, and started to play. Emotions flooded the music as I play. I remembered the good times, the bad times. If there is just another chance.

As I finished the song, the door opened. Hamai Misa appeared.

"Ave Maria. Such a wonderful song. I missed you play dear. It's good you played again.", she smiled. I noticed her eyes were red.

"Thank you.", I said. She spproached, and I hugged her as she hugged me.

"I have some news for you. Bad news. I'm sorry.", she said. She started the waterworks again.

"Huh? What do you mean?", I asked, puzzled.

"The doctors asked if we want to pull. To pull the plug." She didn't look at my face when I said those words.

When she said that, my body became numb. Pull the plug? Is this a joke? This can't be. Len is strong. We are fighting for him. I didn't cry, nor did I move.

"Kaho. Kaho.", Hamai Misa called.

"I'm sorry. It's just. Hard to take." I leaned on her, and started to cry. I can't be numb for a long time. I'm not that person who hides emotions.

"Dear. It's okay. We are not the one deciding. You are.", she said. I looked at her.

"Me? Why me?"

"You are the strongest among us in fighting this tragedy in our lives. You always stayed by his side. You're the one who gives him the strength to continue. I can see it in your eyes. There is hope every time you look at him."

Silence filled for a while. I tried to absorb what she said and think over it. After a while, I started to talk.

"I will. Just give us time. I can't let him go now. I know he's still going to wake.I trust him. He promised never to leave." I smiled sadly at her. She did the same.

"I trust him too. I know he'll wake up too.", she kissed my forehead and left. I touched Len's hand again, and talked to him.

"Remember that you promised never to leave again. Right? We need you Len. You promised to stay, and I promised to wait for you. I love you.", I reached for his forehead and kissed it before sleeping by Len's side. Maybe dreams will help me understand our situation more.
