Chapter 4 - Favors, Chances and meeting again (Part 2)

It was Twelve high noon, and It has been a month Eriol woke up. Finally, Sakura and his father can bring him home. Sakura couldn't hide her happiness for her bestfriend. His father, Touru, was also happy that his son is all well. Though Eriol can now stand, he still needs support so that he could walk.

The doctor has adviced them that Eriol is still not allowed to go to work for about 2 weeks, or until such time that his scars are all healed. They were also advised to bring him for a check-up every after two days. The doctor also gave them prescriptions for his continous medication.

They are now in from of the Hospital's cashier to check his hospital bills.

"Finally, we can go home now" say Touro. Eriol nods.

"But we still have a problem" says Sakura "We have to settle your bills, but I'm sure it will be big because you were confined for more than a month."

Eriol got worried. He owes Sakura so much yet she still has to help him pay for everything. He got terminated on his recent job, that's why she cannot repay her. With his childish look, he told Sakura - "I'm so sorry...You have to help your family...Now...I've added a burden on you...I - I don't how I can repay all those things you've done for me."

But Sakura looked at his eyes and told him - "You don't have to pay me back. I'm your only friend, and I'm happy doing this for you" Then she told Touru on how they can settle the hospital bills. "I think we can make a partial payment, then we will ask if we can make arrangements for the rest."

"Are you sure that you'll do this?" asked Touru

Sakura smiled. "I'm sure, oji-san. I've been a family to you. Let me help you out." Then they apporached the cashier's window to ask how moch will the hospital bills will cost. But the cashier told them : "You don't have to know how much his bills will be. Everything has been fully-paid."

To their utter surprise, The three stared at each other. Getting confused, Sakura asked the cashier. "Are you sure that it was paid? How?"

The cashier answered. "A man had approached us to inquire about the patient. He also asked how much was his hospital bills. When he got the information, he provided us with his checking account in which we can deduct whatever the amount on his bills."

Sakura further asked the cashier. "Do you know who that person is, do you have any contact information of that man? Maybe we could recognize him."

"Unfortunately mam, he refused to give his name." says the cashier. "Besides, we are not allowed to disclose payer's information. Maybe you know a friend or a relative who would help him out?'

Then Touru told Sakura. "I don't have a clue on who will help us out on it."

Eriol also got curious. "Well...Neither...Neither do I."

Sakura then asked the cashier "We really want to know his name. We want to know his intention in helping us paying my friend's bills, and to thank him as well."

But the cashier refused. "As much as I would like to, I want to give it to you the information that you need. But since our hospital have strict policies with regards to payment information and payer's identity, we cannot provide it to you. I'm sorry."

Sakura was a bit disappointed, but she then thought that the bills were all settled. All she has to worry is his medications and check up. Then she asked if there's anything that they have to sign before they leave the hospital. The cashier gave them a clearance from which allows them to bring Eriol home.

They were now outside of the hospital, but they're still thinking on who might have paid for the hospital bills. "I still don't know why would someone help us..." says Touru.

But Sakura told them - "Me too. But what matters most is that we were able to get him out of this place. We can talk about it once we get home." A taxi stopped in front of them, and they rode it all the way back home.

It was 2:30 PM. Back at the office, Syaoran was knocking on Tomoyo's room. Tomoyo then opened the door for him. "You're late" she greeted him.

He replied back "I think you know why." Then he enters the room.

Tomoyo asked him what happened. "So how was it?" she asked "Have you paid everything?"

"Yup!" he answered. "I already got the money that you've transferred on my Bank account and used it to pay for his bills. They also told me that he needs to undergo medical check-up. I think that it will be enough to cover everything."

"Good!" She said, as she sits on his comfty chair. "We're done on the bills. Now, I need you to contact him. I want to know if he's ready"

"Okay, then." he said. "I need his phone number."

Tomoyo, had her notes. She wrote down the contact information that is indicated on Eriol's resume. "Here, take it." she said.

Syaoran grabbed her notes. Then he asked her. "Are you sure that you want to do this?"

"101% Sure!" saya Tomoyo. "I'm getting excited to see him again."

Syaoran sighed. "Well...if that's what what you want, then I'll help you. You're my boss in the first place."

Tomoyo stood from her chair and hugged him from the back. "Thank youuuuuu!" she said, and she pinched his cheeks. "I'm thankful that I can always count on you! You're soooooo cute!"

Syaoran got irritated, as he tried to stop Tomoyo from what she's doing to him. "Okay! Quit it, quit it! I'll call him now! Just stay there..." and he dialed the phone number to call Eriol.

It was around 2:30 when Sakura, Touru and Eriol got home. Touru had the keys. He opened the doors and they entered the house. Eriol looked around. "It's been a month now..." he said. "Nothing changed...it's still our house."

His father smiled. "Yes, of course!" he said. "I haven't changed anything because I want you to feel that this is still the house you always want to go back."

The three laughed. Touru then invited Sakura to enter, which she accepted. As they sit on the floor, Touru remembered something. "Oh, by the way, Sakura...Have you informed Eriol's boss and his co-workers on what happened to him?"

Sakura and Eriol went silent. Sakura tried to cover it up. "Ah...I still haven't informed them about it. But let me call them." She tried to go outside and pretend like she will call someone. but Eriol stopped him. "No!" he said. "We have to tell oto-san..." Then he looked at his father and told him everything. "I...I don't have to tell them about this...They terminated me."

Touru was surprised. "What? why on earth will they do that to you?"

"It's...my fault, oto-san." Eriol replied.

But Touro doesn't see any reason his son will get fired. "I think I know why" he said. , then he got upset. "Those bastards...I know they will treat you unfairly. How I wished I did not allow you to work for them."

Eriol's hands were shaking, fearing that his father got angry at him He doesn't want to see his father upset. "I'm so sorry... If only I told you earlier...Promise, I will find a job once I get better."

"I'm so sorry too, oji-san." said Sakura. "I helped him up covering things up. "

But father had a sweet smile, as he tells Eriol not to worry. - "Don't worry. Father's not mad at you. What matters most for me is that you're safe now."

Eriol sighed in relief. At least he now knew that his father was not mad at him. Then Sakura's phone rang. She picked her phone from her bag and answered it. "Hello, who's this?"

A man replied on the other line. Little did she knew it was Syaoran. "Hi, good afternoon to you. May I speak with Mr. Hiiragizawa?"

Sakura asked the person on the other line "Yes, what do you want from him?"

"We're from the Daidouji Group. We received his résumé, and based on his credentials, we've decided to let him join the company. The training is now on going about a week ago but we want to know if he's still available."

"Really?" said Sakura "Okay, he's here. I'll let you talk to him." Then he passed the phone to Eriol. "People from Daidouji Group." she says. "I mailed in your résumé to them last month. They want to talk to you."

Eriol grabbed the phone and talked to the person on the other line. "Hello..." he said "I'm Eriol...who's this?"

Syaoran explained him the reason he called him. He also asked Eriol if he will be available by this time. But Eriol explained that he might not be able to accept their offer because of the advice the doctor had given to him. "No worries!" said Syaoran. "We can set you up for another day. We'll just give you a call within two weeks and we're hoping that you'll take this opportunity that we're offering you. Or if ever you'll be cleared just before that two weeks, call us back and notify us. I'll be giving you the contact number in case you're ready."

Eriol replied. "Okay... I hope so. Or else, oto-san will get mad at me..." Syaoran laughed, as he gives Eriol further instructions, and they ended their phone call.

Sakura felt overjoyed upon hearing the good news. "Oh my! this is great, Eriol! You'll have a chance to join Daidouji Group!"

But Touro got curious. "Daidouji Group? What is it?"

"You don't know them?" Sakura asked "Daidouji Group hold the biggest Hotel and Restaurant chain in Japan. They also have a lot of prospects in retail and real estates! And you should consider yourself lucky if you work for them since they pay their employees ten folds compare to those who work for other hotels and restaurants in the country." Then, he looked at Eriol "I'm so happy for you. You should grab this chance so that you can help oji-san!"

"Yes" Eriol said. "I'll do good on my check-ups. Then...once I'm ready, I'll take it."

Touru felt happy as well. "I think we should celebrate. For my son's recovery and his new job!". he said. "I will head to the kitchen and prepare some food."

"Good Idea!" Sakura said. "I'll go outside to buy drinks some stuff." Then she went atraight ahead to the grocery store.

Eriol was all alone in the room. He then thought about those things that Sakura, his father, and all those who helped him. Another opportunity had knocked on his doorsteps. He's not sure if it will last, though. But who knows? Right now, he's looking forward to work for those people who values him.

Everyone ended this day with a smile on their faces. Now, they have to look forward to the days that will come. No one knows what's in store for them, but as the darkness covers their night, The stars and moon will lighten it up. Then, the sun will rise to brighten up tomorrow.
