Broken Heart
Chapter 9 - Company for the night
Disclaimer :
Haruka, Michiru, and all of the characters here are not belonged to me. I just borrow them for my story.
(Michiru's POV)
I felt very weak; I even couldn't open my eyes. I only could hear whispered voices around me.
"How is she doctor?"
"I already gave her the treatments she needed. She'll be okay by now, don't worry. I think you can leave now"
"No, I think I will wait until she awake"
Silence for a minute. "We'll see about that later. Right now we'll wait until she's awake; I can't leave someone's who's not the patient's family to stay together here" I could hear footsteps and the sound of opening and closing a door.
Suddenly I felt someone gently touched my cast arm "Michiru, why you have to forced yourself this far?". That was Haruka's voice, and hey, he kissed my hand. I forced myself to open my eyes, and now I was looking directly into his eyes.
"Michiru? You're awake? Thanks God. How are you feeling right now?"
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes again "Weak"
"Wait a minute, I'll call the doctor"
When he saw me nodded, he stormed out from the room and I tried to memorize my feeling when he kissed my hand "Maybe this is the last memory about you that I can have"
Some minutes later, he was back with the doctor, the one that I asked to give me painkillers.
"Miss Kaioh? Would you please sit up a little?" He put on his stethoscope and checked my pulse. "Okay, your heartbeat seemed normal now. How do you feel right now?"
"My body felt so weak"
"Its normal condition, considering you forced your body so far. I told you not to do that, even if you used painkillers, you still couldn't do that"
"I know. I am sorry doctor. It's unavoidable"
"Yeah, I understand, this boy already explained the situation to me"
I looked at Haruka, and my eyes met directly to his eyes again "Oh, no, why I still felt attracted to him?"
The doctor hemmed a little and turned to look at him "So, Tenoh?"
"Yes?"
"Since Miss Kaioh is alright now, I think you can go home. I will go home as well. Leave everything here to the nurse and the security guard"
"I am afraid I can't, doctor"
My eyes bulged out a little when I heard that "What?"
"I will company her here. I already promised her parents to do so"
I saw the doctor grinned a little and poked his shoulder "Are you sure that's the only reason? If I reckoned how you acted when you brought her here, it's seemed that your relationship is deeper than that"
I saw Haruka blushed and looked down when heard that "Now that's his expression I don't saw so often…, it's looks cute" "What did he do?"
"Well…, he came here with you by his car and jumped out from it when he saw me about to get in my car. He begged at me to heal you with almost teary eyes."
"Haruka? Crying for me?"
"You're lucky to have a boyfriend like that, Miss Kaioh"
"Wha…, boyfriend? But he's not…"
"Oh, will you excuse me for now; I will take some medicine for you to take."
He leaved the room and I am together with Haruka once again.
"He won't listen to you" I saw Haruka approached my bed and sat down near me.
I gathered my courage and look at his face "Haruka?"
"Yea?"
"Do you really crying for me?"
He blushed again and looked down "Um, that's… err…, natural condition isn't it? When you panicked and…"
"Haruka?"
"Yes, I was crying for you"
"Why?"
"Why? Of course because I was worried about you"
"You already have Lauri, so why you bothered yourself to worrying about me?"
He turned to look at me and sat nearer to me "Michiru, tell me the truth…, is the reason…, for how you acting cold to me lately…, is it because Lauri? Are you jealous when you saw me with her?"
"Oh, no!" "How can you think like that? I…" suddenly I felt a finger placed under my chin.
"Look at me when you answer that" his voice was just a whisper, and I can felt his breath.
"I…" I don't who's make the move, but just when our lips almost touched, the door opened again and I saw the doctor stood there with mouth open.
"Err…, I think I'll knock on the door next time. Sorry, did I interfere your moments together?"
"Um, no" we blushed and Haruka walked to the couch.
"Here are the medicines. Drink this one right now and this two tomorrow morning after the breakfast" he handed me the medicine and a glass of water
"Thank you" I drank that immediately and laid down again.
"Now about you, Tenoh. Do you still want to stay here?"
"Yes, of course"
"I think I can't allow you, since what I saw just a minute ago"
"Doctor!"
"I am kidding. I already called her parents and they approved you to stay here with her. They even asked you to take here back to her house tomorrow. You seemed to have gained a lot of their trust. But you have to sleep on the couch, the extra beds already taken by other patient's family"
He nodded and took off his shoes "I don't mind it at all"
"Fine then, it's already 12'o clock, so I should leave now. I'll be back tomorrow, okay?"
"Okay" The doctor leaved the room and I saw Haruka looking at me again.
"What?"
"I hope you don't mind that I stay here tonight with you. I asked your parents to stay there and let me accompany you here because I saw that the principal was very happy about our performance and want to have some talk to your parents. So I…"
"It's okay, I understand. I am happy for my mother too"
"Do you want to sleep now? I will turn off the lights if you do"
I nodded slightly and my eyes followed his movements "Haruka? Are you sure you want to stay with me tonight? My parents asked you to take me home tomorrow; won't you be late for school?"
He chuckled slightly and lay down on the couch "Don't worry; I am not aiming to be the most discipline student at the school. Now go to rest, will you?"
"Okay" Actually I wanted to ask him about the kiss that we almost done, why he do that…, and when will he really kiss me. But…, oh well, I think the medicine already took its effect, I felt very sleepy.
(End of Michiru's POV)
(Haruka's POV)
I just stared at her sleeping form "I almost kissed her. What am I thinking? I admitted that I felt attracted to her since the first time I saw her. But…, to kiss her? I even don't remember Lauri at all at the minute. Could it be my feelings for Lauri is just a lust?"
(End of Haruka's POV)
(At Haruka's apartment)
Lauri stared at the phone and dialed Haruka's cell phone "Hi, this is Haruka. I am sorry I can't pick up the phone right now. Please leave a message after the beep…" she hung up the phone and sat down on the floor. "Haruka, where are you? I already called your cell phone for the tenth times". She leaned to the wall and cried silently.
