Two days after,

Kaoru Hitachiin sat quietly on his chair, he was glancing at the wall clock and then to the window. He was waiting for the last bell to ring, since he would visit Ayumi in the hospital. She hasn't woken up yet and Kaoru's getting worried about her. Everyone has sent their regards since Kyouya ordered that nobody except for specified guest will be able to enter Ayumi's room, and that made security pretty tight. Hunni and Haruhi visited Ayumi together, not being able to see her with Kaoru around, he's getting a little selfish. He wants to see her all by himself. And Hikaru was no exception. "Pst.. Haru-chan." Hikaru hissed low as he threw a scrunched up paper ball towards Haruhi. The girl only turned her head slightly showing her impatience. Hikaru motioned for her to open the ball.

Do you know what Kaoru's doing while he's in Ayu-chan's room?

Haruhi looked up from the paper and looked at Hikaru. "No, I don't. But it's not our business, is it?"

"It is." Hikaru replied quitestubbornly,he then looked at his twin (who in the moment, was tapping his pen on the table, showing slight signs of impatience.). Then back to Haruhi, "It bugs me."

He only got a shrug as her reply, which Hikaru didn't take well. He continued pestering Haruhi until both of them got detention and it ruined Hikaru's upcoming plan for following Kaoru that afternoon. And he really doubted that Kaoru would still be there after detention, he'd probably disappear until that evening where he'll suddenly pop up in time for dinner.

Meanwhile,

dling, dling

"Hello there. Oh, it's you Mr.Hitachiin!" The women by the counter squealed slightly, Kaoru looked up after he closed the door behind him. These women knew him after the yesterday, after he brought three cakes of the same flavour. One of them, the lady behind the counter asked him, "What cake would you want now, Mr.Hitachiin?"

"Is that orange colored cake here yet?" He asked as he gazed at the cakes, Kaoru's eyes were looking at these cakes as if thinking whether he should buy it or not. Then he sighed as he looked up, the lady nodded and eyes him with great interest, "Are these chocolate?" Refering to the cakes he just looked at. "Or vanilla?"

Two of the women nodded, "Who are these for, Mr.Hitachiin?"

"For one girl or for different girls?" They asked, their pixie-like expressions lightened up.

Kaoru chuckled appreciatively, "These are for my wife."

...

Silence.

...

"Wife?"

"Yes." Kaoru nodded, showing them the ring that he never took off after that wedding. But the women looked slightly unconvinced, Kaoru sighed as he took out his wallet and showed the women Ayu-chan's picture. "See her? That's my wife." Even when they looked at Kaoru's amused face, they still looked unconvinced. "I'll bring her around sometimes. That's a promise." He got hold on the new cake parcel and waved goodbye. He felt so good, telling people about his wife. Atleast, that's the only thing he can say right now. It hurts him to hear Ayumi's name being mentioned. Because her pained face would pop up everytime she was called.

And these days, Kaoru prefered calling her that.

Hospital, Nurse's Station.

"Have you seen Ms.Hara's private room? The delivery of balloons were for her." A nurse, most probably Ayumi's nurse, walked towards the nurse's station. Her smile was still on her lips ever since yesterday, after Kaoru brought some cakes over and stored them in the small refrigirator inside the girl's room, he also brought flowers every morning and they were always orange.

She gazed at the wild flowers on the vase, "Mr.Hitachiin, I'm sorry but why are those wild flowers? I'm sorry for being curious but I never did know anybody who places those kinds here." She asked, as a nurse and as a curious woman. Kaoru tilted his face towards her and gave her a small smile.

"My wife loves orange flowers." He replied, then went back unto adding some more flowers.

"W-wife?"

"Kids these days." The head nurse laughed as she came into view, "He still called her wife just this morning, didn't he? Poor boy, Ms.Hara is still not awake. And her legs, even if she did wake up, Ms. Hara will be miserable. And there he is now," Kaoru suddenly walks up to them, wearing a huge smile on his face, "Good afternoon, are those for Ms.Hara again?"

"Yes, but this one is for you." Kaoru held up the other cake parcel, he handed it to the head nurse, "Thank you for allowing the balloons inside my wife's room. Oh," He noticed the time, "I'm sorry. I still have to take this in my wife's room. Goodbye." Then he runs off.

Ayumi's room,

He entered, the balloons reflected several colors on the whole room, it was a pretty sight. Kaoru blinks, walks towards the tiny refrigirator and opened it. There was a half-eaten strawberry cake, he noticed it first before he saw that the other one was already gone, but he found a note from Hunni-sempai, telling him that Ayu-chan liked the cake. Kaoru knew that Hunni-sempai ate them that's why he smiled as he brought the note up and placed it on top of the ref. He then arranged the new one and when he was done, Kaoru closed the door.

"Ayu-chan." He whispered, walking up to her bedside. "You missed seeing the new movie released. It's pretty romantic. I knew you'd want to see it." He sounded so insane, doesn't he? "Hikaru's being nosy, Tono's still away, Mori-sempai and Hunni-sempai visits, don't they? Haruhi visits too. Sigh, Ayu-chan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those things. Can you wake up now?"

drop.

He was crying, again.

"Wake up."

Outside the door,

"Shh."

The nurses gathered by the door, silent as if they weren't there. They heard what Kaoru had to say and were touched by it, most of them were crying. Their head nurse, however, looked as if she was pushing back her tears shooed everyone away and told them to go back to their work.

"Kami, I do hope she wakes up."
