Chapter 4 - Favors, Chances and meeting again (Part 1)


It was around 2:30 PM. Business is still on for the employees of Daidouji Group, then a loud voice was heard outside Tomoyo's room.

"WHAT?! Are you crazy?!" Syaoran shouted Tomoyo. He found out that she had reviewed Eriol's resume and had given him a chance to enter the company. "Why did you allow him to join the company? Just take a look at this! 3 different companies, but he only stayed there for about 2 to 4 months for each of them! How will you justify your decision to the recruitment if you pass his résumé?"

Tomoyo answered. "First of all, he has experience in our field based on his resume. And second, so what if he stayed there for a short period? Maybe there's a reason for that..."

Syaoran smirked at her. "Like what? You know, an employee who stays at a company for a short period will give me an impression that the company had problems with him. if I'm the Company's boss, I'll have second thoughts of hiring him." He then approached Tomoyo's desk. "Tomoyo, I know that you want to give him a favor in exchange for saving you. But you're the president of this company, and you're not running a charity - you're managing a Business. We still don't know him, neither his abilities. You could do something for him other than this."

But Tomoyo smiled and replied " Well, who cares if I know him or not? Besides, everyone has their own abilities, but we have to help them boost their potentials. That's why we have a training, right?

"Yeah, yeah...That's the second problem - The training starts within the next two weeks. What if he's not yet fully-recovered once the training starts? How will you explain that to them?" said Syaoran.

Tomoyo stood up, apporached Syaoran and fixed his necktie. "Well...with that...I'll be needing your help."

Syaoran was a bit surprised. "Again? Another favor? Tomoyo, I've done a lot for you. Would you please give me a break?"

"Promise! This will be the last." said Tomoyo. "I know you can help me with this. In the first place, you are my secretary, right? If you cannot do it for me as your boss, at least do it for me as your friend..."

In the end, Syaoran gave up. "Okay, fine! You're too hard-headed. Anyway, what is it?"

Tomoyo gave him the instruction. "First, find a way to check his condition more often. Once he gets out of the hospital, call the phone number on his résumé,. Notify me as well and I'll take care of the rest."

"So you've made up your mind."

"Yup! I am!"

Syaoran siged. "Okay, I'll help. But remember, if all else fails, don't blame me."

"Don't worry," she said. "I'll be held accountable for all of this."


5:00 PM. At the hospital. Finally, after almost a week, Eriol woke up.

He opened his eyes a bit, and there he saw Sakura, her brother Touya, his father, Touru and a doctor beside him. Sakura had called his brother earlier and borke the news. She also asked him to bring Eriol's Father to the hospital.

He doesn't seem to understand what happened at that point. That's why he asked Sakura. "Sakura...Where am I?"

Sakura sits beside him, and held his hand. "You're in the hospital. You've slept since last week. Thank God you're now awake."

Eriol felt his throat dry. "Water...I need water."

Everyone aside from Eriol stared at each other. Then Touya snapped. "Yes, water! I'll go outside" And he went outside to get a glass of water.

Sakura then asked the doctor "Could you please tell us when could we bring him home?"

The doctor replied. "Not until his wounds heal. Right now, I can see good progress because all his wounds are now closed. We'll let you know if everything's clear."

Touya entered in the middle of their conversation. He brought in some warm water for Eriol to drink. Sakura helped him to lean towards his bed's wall. Then, he drank that full glass of water like he never drank before.

Eriol's father, Touru, then asked others to leave the room. "Could you please leave me and my son first? I want to talk to him."

Sakura glared at Touro. "Oji-san..."

Touru pleaded. "It's been a week since we've talked. I never had chance to hear his voice, since. This is my only wish as his father...Please."

Without any words from them, they left the room silently, and let the father and son to talk to each other. Then, sad emotions filled the entire room. "You made me worry..." Touru cried, as he held his son's left hand "I don't know what happened. But oto-san's happy that you're safe."

Seeing his father like that, Eriol felt guilty inside. He made his father cry and for him it was his fault. "I'm sorry..." He said to his father. "I didn't mean to make you worry...I've been a burden for you...I'm sorry..."

Touru replied. "No, you've never been a burden to me. Now I want you go get well soon so that we can bring you home." Touru then touched his son's forehead. "Papa's here. You're not alone."

Emotions continued to fill the entire room, as Sakura watched them from outside. She shed tears of joy now that everything's fine. They just can't wait to bring Eriol home.
