Now, here goes chapter two!
Heavy weights in his heart...
For the past few days since Daisuke told Riku about his sickness, his been experiencing some of the symptoms. His eyesight's gotten blurry and he needed glasses. he keeps losing his sight once in a while only to get it back after a few hours. Emiko and Kosuke's been worrying so much they can't leave him alone in the house anymore, even for just a few minutes.
"Mom! Dad! Help!" he shouted, nerviously seating in his bed.
"Dai-chan? What's wrong?" Emiko asked, bursting into her son's room.
"Can't see again..."
"Oh, dear. Kosuke-san!"
"here... I told you, Daisuke, you should drink your medicines on time." Kosuke said, handing his son his medicines.
"Sorry. Mom, can you do me a favor?"
"Yes, Dai-chan?"
"Could you dial Riku-san's number, Please? I wanna talk to her."
"Sure, Dear. Wait a sec."
---------
"Hello? Riku speaking... Emiko-san? What's wrong?"
"Riku-san, Dai-chan wants to talk to you. Please..."
Riku sighed. She doesn't have any choice, then. All her hard work of dudging and hiding from him became nothing.
"Sure..."
"Thank you so much!" Emiko handed the phone to Daisuke. "here, Dai-chan."
"Thank you."
"We'll be outside if you need us, okay?"
"Okay. Hello?"
"Niwa-kun."
"I can't see..." he said flatly.
"What do you mean?"
"I have eye cancer remember?"
"Niwa-kun!"
"Riku-san, please!"
"Niwa-kun, You're not yet giving up this joke? I'm already tired of this!"
"Riku-san! Why don't you believe me? I've been suffering this stupid illness for three weeks now and you still don't believe me?"
"Because you are unbelievable! You're strong! You're physically fit! Why should I believe you?"
"This is cancer!"
"Niwa-kun!"
"If you really love me you would put this kind of weight in my heart. It hurts more knowing that the girl I love isn't beside me tru this battle... It's worst than knowing I'm dying, Riku-san..."
In that mere minute, tears started falling from the two lovers' eyes...
