Chapter 5
"Dr. Imanishi's exam can be only a false-negative..." Thought, vomiting for the third time in fifteen minutes... After left the gynecologist's office, she felt sad and lonely, with angry at her life for having took away the hopes of a new child and given the restlessness of an illness in return. And of course, she was angry at her husband for not being with her at the moment, she knew that has been unfair since he was not aware of the situation she was in, but it didn't matter because she didn't feel rational at all when ran to the bath due all the nausea.
Washed her face and the neck with cold water and leave the toilet, she feels much better and was already thinking in go home when heard Dr. Nishigaki's friendly voice...
-Hey Kotoko, is everything alright? I came to pick a coffee and saw you running to the bathroom...
- I was a little nauseous, but I'm much better now, thank you! By the way, now that I found you I would like to talk with you a bit tomorrow, about those headaches, if you have some time...
-Look, for me it might be tomorrow, yeah, or if you want we can talk right now since I'm waiting for my wife to leave the work to get me... – And smiling, he added – It is her birthday today and I'm taking her to dinner, but she will only be here about more two hours...
-You have sure that it won't bother you?
- Have the lovely company of a beautiful woman? Definitely I can handle this! Come on, let's go my office so you can explain exactly what bothers you.
-Smiling for the compliments, Kotoko accompanied the doctor and friend, oblivious to the fact that Marina was seeing all the situation, with a malicious smile in her face.
-Congratulations for the success of the operation Dr. Irie, and thank you very much!
-Thanks head-nurse. I'm going to change and go home now, okay?
-Yes, of course doctor.
"Thank's God, It is over. Did she wait for me? Where can I take her?" – Leaving the operating room he picked up his phone and saw the automatic response displayed on the screen: "Failed to send the message." – His entire body went cold – "It can't be... I don't believe that this shit doesn't work... God, she must be furious thinking that I forgot..."
-She is crazy about her husband and will never do something like this Marina, you know that...
"This voice, it is one of Kotoko's friends, are they talking about us? She was already gossiping about our marriage?!..."
- I know Moto-Chan , she really is crazy for him, but I know what I saw: a very smiling Kotoko walking alongside with the handsome Dr. Nishigaki, while he praised her how beautiful, lovely and funny she is, and that they were going to spend the next few hours in his office doing I don't know what...
"They really are very gossipy, all this story is so ridiculous!"
-But the two are marriage!
- I know Tomoko, but this is very common: If your partner doesn't give what you need, you go found someone who gives, right? Besides, she needs to think what is better for the kids, a divorce now would be very painful for Mi-chan, and to the baby even more...
-What are they talking about? Is Kotoko... pregnant? I can't believe I'm going to be a father again..." – Feeling like he was the happiest man in the world, something catch his attention in the conversation and starts to bugging him – " Why doesn't she tell me yet? Will she afraid because of all these fights?
-... Don't be ridiculous, of course that is his baby!
-Tomoko, it is just to join the facts: when she started to have these symptoms? When was the period that she take care of Dr. Nishigaki's patients? When Dr. Irie was traveling? Everything fits!
-Exactly! Also, why would she look for him instead of hew own husband for a consultation huh?! Dr. Nishigaki may not be as handsome or intelligent as Dr. Irie, but at least he is very attentive and affectionate, anyone can see that just for hear when he speaks with his wife on the phone..
- Too bad that he is the same for all the women! - And while Motoki and Marina burst into laughter, Tomoko was irritated by the whole situation... "It's enough of this conversation for me, your imagination goes way too far!
Realizing that the conversation was over, but still shaken by everything that he had heard, Naoki thought that will be better if he just cool his head before talk to Kotoko, so decided to go to the roof to reflect about all the issues that made his heart so restless...
-Let's see if I get it Kotoko, in the last few weeks your friends notice changes in your mood, you still have that headaches and are under a lot of emotional pressure and stress and now came this nausea too. Am I right?
-It is exactly this. – "Dr. Nishigaki is an amazing doctor!"
-Tell me Kotoko, those medicines that I prescribed to you in the last time, did it worked or the pain persisted?
-Actually, didn't work so much, the pain were better a little but never totally...
-I understand... Well, I still believe that it is nothing more, but for precaution, I'd like you bring me your medical historical and your parents too... And what you think to be here a little early tomorrow morning and we can make a tomography?
-Yeah, sure!
-Great! And no need to worries yourself because of this, Okay? I'm certain that is nothing but caution is always good... Now go home, stay with your daughter and husband and simply rest!
-Thanks Dr., I'm much more relieved now – Answer smiling – Let's go then? I don't want to delay you for the date with your wife, right?
-Yes, of course, let's go. This way I can take a few more questions on the way to the exit... Tell me, Naoki told me once that you lose your mother very soon, and I'm so sorry for that, but I need to ask: Do you remember what she had?
-No problem at all – a sad smile appears in her face, as her mother's memories popped in her mind – but I don't remember exactly what it was, I was a little younger than Mi-chan... I remember that she doesn't recognize me anymore, couldn't walk nor eat alone... Clinically speaking, that's what I remember – Her pale smile wasn't capable to hide the sadness that carried for her mother's disease and death... She never had talked about that with anyone, and just do it now because of Dr. Nishigaki's need of a familiar history... Unlike the doctor, she not even realize the solitary tear that roll down her face...
A tense silence settle between them as they walked to the hospital exit gate and as she turned to say "goodbye", Kotoko was surprised to be hugged by the doctor...
- Dr. Nishigaki, I don't...
- Shhh! I'm not doing anything wrong, just hugging a friend... And it's enough of this history Dr. Nishigaki, okay? You only call Naoki by the last name that I know, so for now on call me Romajiro, or better, just Jiro – And pulling her away to see her face, completed – I'm here for whatever you need Kotoko, after all, you came to my wedding and I am seeing your daughter grown up... We are friends! And as your friend, my advice to you is for you talk with Naoki about all of this... Your mother, the things that you have been feeling and the problems that you are facing in your marriage... Don't be so surprised, don't you know your friends? Set things up with him, the idiot doesn't know how to show you, but he really loves you... Trust me!
-I... I...
-Kotoko, you only live once, if something happens tomorrow or even on the way home tonight, would you rather die happy with the man you love or would you rather keep him angry and guilty for all the mistakes he has made between the two of you? Forgive him, talk and explain how you feel... He doesn't have to know this, believe in someone that already experienced the same situation...
Now it was her turn to surprise him, hugging and whispering a "Thank you!" through the tears, but this time, was tears of joy because she feels the trust in her husband's love was been restored by those words...
"That is not possible... This can't be true..." He felt completely lost, walked by the corridors of the hospital without knowing exactly for where was going, but that didn't matter anymore, as long as he was alone... Didn't know who to talk or how to talk, to be honest, didn't even know what to think about the whole situation... Kotoko was pregnant, but she hadn't told him anything... "Even with all of our fights, this is not the kind of thing that she would hide from me, and if she really had signs of the pregnancy already, she hid very well 'cause I didn't see her felling bad at anytime... But what if Marina said it is true, she must be pregnant of a month and her betrayal would be exactly in her more fertile week, when I went to the congress, the things really fits... I don't wanted to believe this, but after that "cute" scene that I saw from the roof, the two hugging and so suddenly all this friendship... I don't know what to think now, I can't even have sure that she still loves me and if that's the case, wouldn't she betray me? God, what am I going to do now?"
A.N:That was the fifth chapter, what you guys think?
I put that Kotoko called Dr. Nishigaki of Romajiro 'cause that is his name on mangá.
Kisses and hugs (XOXO?) and until next week! (I hope).
