Chapter 3 : Friendship, worries, and Sad memories (Part3)

It was almost a week after the incident. The sun shines bright at Daidouji family's grand mansion. But Tomoyo still can't get over what had happened. Still not feeling well, she didn't went to the office. Her mom took over her work.

She was in her bedroom, trying to get up. Then someone knocked on her room's door. "Tomoyo..." She didn't answer. But the person who knocked on the door just entered her room. It was her grandmother Emiko, and she brought breakfast for her.

"Honey" her grandma said. "You hardly ate any meal for the past two days. Here, I brought some food. Take it." She put the food on the table beside her bed. She then approached her distressed granddaughter. "I know how you feel. But if you starve yourself to death, nothing will happen."

Tomoyo looked at her grandma. "You know what, oba-chan, I'm still getting goosebumps every time I remember what happened that night. I just can't move on... I'm totally worried if he's safe or not." Then she took a deep breath.

"My child..." said her grandma. "Sometimes we should not stress ourselves over-thinking no matter how important things are. You're safe, and for now, we should be thankful about it." Then she took a cup of tea and gave it to her granddaughter. "Here. Take it before you eat your meals. This will make you feel better."

"Thank you, oba-chan." She took the cup and drank its content. "Anyways, I have to go to the office. The Human resources Dept. will be sending the resumes of those who were initially qualified for the vacancies available for our new restaurant."

Her grandma was a bit surprised. "Wait, are you sure? Your mom's taking care of your job. You should stay here and get some rest until you get better."

"But oba-chan, I've rested for some time now. Our employees know me because I've never been absent nor late. You know, they like making speculations."

Her grandma insists that she should stay, but Tomoyo is too stubborn. She wants to go to work, thinking that it might help her move forward and forget that night. At the end, her grandma gave up. "All right. If you can go to work and focus on your job, I won't stop you. "

- "Thank you, Oba-chan... I'll now take a bath and change clothes. Then, I'll off to work"

- "Sure, But please, don't go home late at night again, okay?"

Tomoyo responded. "Don't you worry. Promise, I won't do it again." Her grandma kissed Tomoyo's forehead, a sign that she wishes her luck. Tomoyo had started to eat her breakfast, and got up from her bed to go to work.

It was almost 9:00 AM when she got to the corporate headquarters. Earlier, She called her mom to tell her that she's going to work. Although being worried about her daughter, Sonomi said that she will allow her to work for as long as she will put her focus on it.

As she rush into her office, the employees were staring at her. She notice some of their employees murmuring. She doesn't know what they are murmuring about, but she didn't even think about it. What matters for her is to forget everything and do her job because she's the boss in the first place.

Tomoyo has made it to her office. As she entered her room, she saw piles of documents on her desk. She tried to put them in order so that she won't be confused once she reads all of them. Then, she saw a 3 green folders that was sent by their Human Resources Dept. It has the resumes of those who were disqualified from any vacant positions in the restaurant due to various reasons. As per company policy, she has the right to review the applicant's qualifications. She can also decide on whether she will give those applicants a chance to enter the company. She was known to have a very keen eye and she never made any mistake in giving applicants a chance based on qualifications that the Human Resouces Dept. had missed. She will then ask the dept. to call the applicants back if they are still available for training. She has to check more than a hundred of them, but she's used to it.

Tomoyo stopped in the middle of reviewing the resumes when she remembered what happened that night. Until now, she was bothered by it that she felt guilty because someone almost lost his life trying to save her from the robbers. Then she promised to herself that she will help him once he gets well.

She started reviewing the resumes again. Then, one of which caught her attention. She looked at the picture attached on it. It was a man on his mid-20's, with deep blue eyes and wearing glasses. It looked like the man who saved her, she told to herself. But she's not sure because it was too dark and she didn't saw his face properly. She then thought that maybe it was just his look-alike. She looked at the credentials and she almost laughed.

"He's been with 3 different companies, and only lasted for about 2 to 4 months for each of them. What kind of employee is this? Anyway, Sorry, you're rejected." She told to herself. Then she put the résumé on a red folder and moves on. Those resumes who were put on the red folder means it was rejected, and will be put on a paper shredder afterwards.

Half past 11 in the morning, Sakura was in the hospital to visit Eriol. He hasn't woke up yet. But a nurse told her that he's getting better. She approached the Lobby, listed her name on the log book, and went to his room.

At the same time, Syaoran was there too. He was tasked by Tomoyo to get the name of the person who saver her. He's wearing a casual shirt and jeans. He also had to wear a cap so that the people at the hospital wouldn't recognize him easily. He asked the person on duty about Eriol. "Hi, miss" he said. "I have one quick question?".

The person at the front desk recognizes him. "Wait...I remember you...were you the one who brought the patient on Room 207?"

That person said it loud and clear. Everybody in the lobby area heard it. "What the?!..." He said on his mind. But he should pretend no one knows him. "Ah...What? Who's at Room 207?"

The person at the front desk responded. "Do you remember that patient who was stabbed? You were with a woman when you brought him here a week ago. The doctor who treated him said that you were friends. Are you sure it's not you?"

Syaoran quickly denied it. "HELL NO! There's no way I have brought in anyone who was stabbed. I want to see my grandma. My sister told me that she was brought here in this hospital. I want to know that's true."

The person asked him. "Hmmmm...Well, could you please tell me the name of your grandma?"

Syaoran has to make up a name so that he won't get noticed. "Ah... Fan...Fan Chi!"

"Fan Chi?"

"Yes... Li Fan Chi."

The person on the Lobby almost laughed. "Weird name" she said.

Syaoran explained. "Well, like me, My grandmother is a Chinese. We've been here in Japan for more than 15 years already that's why she's more of a Japanese. I don't appreciate you laughing at my grandma's name."

"Sorry, I didn't mean to make fun of your oba-chan." the person said. "Anyways, I'll look into the records here. Please sit momentarily."

"Thank you." Syaoran then took a seat and pretend like he's waiting for that person to check the records of her "grandma". A nurse had approached the person on duty at the front desk and gave her a check list placed on a clipboard. "Room 207" she said. "Everything is fine." referring to Eriol's condition. "I allowed the lady to enter his room. Still not sure if she's the patient's relative."

"Should you care if she's a relative or not? At least someone visits him." said the person at the front desk. "Anyway, Could you also check the patient at Room 129?"

'Sure". Said the nurse. She left to check the patient on the other room. Then, the person at the front desk went inside the room filled with document to check if Syaoran's "grandma" was admitted to the hospital. He saw the clipboard that the other nurse had given the person on duty. He checked if no one's looking at him. Then, he reached the clipboard and read the record on that patient. "Room 207...This is it! I have to get his name..." He said to himself. Finally, he got the name of that patient. "Eriol Hiiragizawa...I got it!" He doesn't need to write Eriol's name, as he has a photographic memory, that's why he was able to memorize his name just by reading it.

Now that he got what he need, He returned the clipboard on its place, and started walking fast to go outside.

It was 11:45 A.M. when Tomoyo finished everything. Out of hundreds of resumes which was sent to her for review, only 5 of them passed and will be called-back for training. She's now putting those resumes who got rejected on a paper shredder when Syaoran called her. She picked her cellphone and greeted him. 'Hello, Syaoran, what happened?"

A very irritated Syaoran responded. "You know what, this isn't fun at all. I've had a hard time talikng to those people at the hospital that they almost caught me off-guard! just imagine what will happen if recognize me? "

Tomoyo replied back "Well, That's the purpose of sending you there, Dr. Li! Because I'm sure you can handle the pressure of dealing with them. And of course, you were successful in getting what I want from them, am I right?"

"Yeah" said Syaoran. "I already got his name. Are you ready?"

"Anytime...' Tomoyo said while trying to insert another resume on the paper shredder.

Syaoran is about to tell the name of the one who saved Tomoyo. "His name was...Eriol Hiiragizawa."

Tomoyo wrinkled her forehead, as she tries to recognize the name. She's quite sure that she heard or saw that name somewhere. When she tried to look back onto the paper shredder and there she saw the resume that she's trying to put on it. Almost 1/4 of the resume was in the shredder. She saw the picture of that spectacled man with deep blue eyes, just beside the picture is his name. "Eriol Hiiragizawa"

"NO!" Tomoyo screamed. She got panic trying to remove Eriol's resume on the paper shredder. She immediately pulled its plug from the power source but she pulled it with all her might that she and the paper shredder stumbled and fell onto the floor. A loud noise was heard from her room that some of her staff knocked on to the door to check what's going on.

"Mam! Mam! Are you okay? What's happening?" Said the staff.

Tomoyo tried to get up and she replied to the staff knocking on the door. "Sorry to make you worry. My paper shredder suddenly fell off the table, but I'm fine. You may go now."

The staff left. Tomoyo picked her phone and tried to check if Syaoran was still on the line. "Hello, Syaoran? are you still there?"

Syaoran replied. "Yes, I'm here. And by the way, what the heck is that noise?"

Tomoyo responded : "Well, the paper shredder fell of my table. Anyways, could you please tell me his name again?"

"Sure." said Syaoran. "His name is Eriol Hiiragizawa. I'm not sure how they got his name. But I heard his relatives has already visited him. Maybe they informed the hospital about it."

"All right." she said. Then she looked back at Eriol's Resume, though it was almost ripped by the paper shredder, most of its details are still readable. Then she asked Syaoran to go back to the office. "I want you to go back, I have another favor."

Syaoran sighed. "Well... I don't have a choice...I'll go back as soon as I can."

The phone conversation ended. She picked Eriol's resume, tried to fix it using scotch tape, and put it on the green folder, together with those five resumes that she selected earlier. She can now do something for Eriol in return. Now, both has a chance to see each other again.

It was noon. Sakura was in Eriol's room to visit him. Eriol's is getting better, but hasn't gain conciousness yet. Sakura sit beside him. She held his hand. She whispers to him. "Oji-san is waiting for you. He didn't had a good sleep because of you. He's alone and he wants to see you come home at night. For sure you know how sad it is being alone, right? Besides, no one would help him but you so...please...wake up."

Then, all of a sudden, she started crying. "I just don't want to see you like this...I just can't...So please, I want you to wake up for oji-san. I want you to wake up for those who are close to you...I want you to wake up for me. Please..." Sakura felt deeply hurt by looking at Eriol. Like his father, Sakura has been so restless thinking about him. She stayed beside him, crying.

Still unconcious, Eriol was having a dream.

On his dream, Eriol was walking down the road. He looked on his surrounding, and saw a familiar Place. It was the Elementary school he attended. He saw children running around, trying to get home. Then, he saw something that caught his attention. A boy being bullied by his own classmates. Eriol tried to stop them by getting a branch fallen from a tree. He ran and swayed it to the bullies. The bullies stopped hurting the boy and ran off. He approched the boy who was full of dirt. His uniform has a lot of shoe marks on it. "A- Are you okay?" Eriol said. When the boy lifted his head, Eriol froze, couldn't beleive who's in front of him.

It was him when he was young.

All of those sad memories came back. He regretted that day when he could not defend himself. That everyone is cold at him. Eriol looked onto they boy's eyes, held his younger self's shoulders, and cried. "Sorry... I failed to protect you... Sorry..." Eriol hugged his younger self. Both of them shed tears.

Sakura's head was lying besides Eriol. She didn't notice that she fell asleep. The heard a very soft voice. She lifted her head and saw Eriol whispering.

"Sorry..." He said to himself, as tears fell from his eyes. Sakura felt worried. She stood up went outside of his room and called a Doctor, while Eriol didn't stopped from whispering sorry to himself.
