Chapter 2 The Visit
Two days have passed after the attack concerning Fllay's health. At the cafeteria, five blocks away from the hospital Kira was sitting alone in a deep thought when Lacus arrived with bouquets of roses cuddled on her arms which will be given to Fllay.
"So how's her condition, Kira?" She asked in a gentle tone. "Is she okay, now?"
Kira hummed. "The doctor said she's stable…" He paused. "…for now…" casting his eyes downward looking at the roses' dew drops sparkling on the reflected light.
In front of the Emergency Room
The red light still on and Fllay is inside. And Kira, even though he is an ultimate coordinator who has saved many lives during the Cosmic Era War I, he can't do anything but only to sit, wait and pray for her.
He locked his seriously worried eyes at the metallic door waiting for a doctor to come out. He began tapping the floor with the heel of his shoe. Anxiety overcame him, he stood up, clenching his fists on his sides and walked beak and forth the corridor.
He suddenly heard the clicking sound of the E.R. light turned off. Then the metallic door opened sideways and the doctor stepped out. The door automatically closed behind him. Kira ran towards him quick. The doctor always notices how worried the eyes of the relatives or friends of the patient. So he placed his hands on top of the young man's shoulders and smiled.
"Don't worry. She's safe…" Kira was relieved to hear the news, which brought glow in hi purple eyes.
"But…" the doctor paused. The glow in Kira's eyes vanished and waits for the doctor to continue.
"Her body is growing weaker," he continued. "We are doing are best to maintain the health of the patient but its up to her to follow her proper medications that we recommended her. I know you got my point there. If she continues to act stubbornly, I'm afraid it may lead to her death." Kira's eyes widen with fear. "Remember, Mr. Yamato. Ms. Allster is a Natural. We all know that Coordinators like us are much more superior to the Naturals especially when it comes to health."
"Then… what other ways must we do for her?" Kira asked clenching his fist. "It may seem that she doesn't want us visiting her, but we are her friends whom she can call a family."
The doctor smiled. "I'm glad for her to have such good friends like you. There's one therapeutic way to strengthen her fighting spirit"
"What is it?" He asked. "I hope it will also make her follow her medications."
"Oh yes, it will" he nodded smiling. "Make her laugh. It's the best medicine for depressed people who are sick."
Kira said in delight, "We will do it! Thanks a lot, Doc!"
The doctor excused himself smiling and returned inside the Emergency Room leaving Kira alone along the corridor with hope in his heart.
Lacus smiled and said, "So let's follow what the doctor had told you. We will start by treating her like she's not ill at all. In that way she'll never feel helpless and sad because her friends are always beside her." She placed her hand above Kira's and he held it smiling.
"Thanks, Lacus."
She giggled.
They head to the hospital and when they arrived at the information desk, Lacus asked the blacked haired nurse who has an adorable smile on her face, if Fllay Allster is awake. But it turns out that the patient that they were looking for is still asleep. Lacus pouts in dismay.
"But I'll allow you to visit her," said the nurse. "It'll be a waste if those beautiful roses won't be delivered those beautiful roses. Just don't wake the patient."
Lacus nodded smiling, "We won't"
In front of room 666
The door slid open and the couple walked inside. The room was very quiet except for the beeping sound of Fllay's life monitor beside her bed. Lacus arranged the roses on a vase after she had filled it up with water. Kira slightly open the glass window to let fresh air fill the room since a vast forest can be viewed from it. He stood beside the bed fondling with Fllay's soft red hair.
"Get well soon, Fllay" he whispered. "If you'll be staying here any further, you'll miss all the fun."
"Everyone is worried about you." Lacus said sitting on the opposite side of the bed and holds Fllay's hand near her chest. "If only you would open your heart and listen to the prayers of the people around you. You will then realize that we, your friends, will never make you feel alone."
After some moments of staying, they left the room. But before the metallic door closed, Kira caught a glimpse of Fllay with sad eyes. Lacus held his hand, smiling, gesturing that they will leave now. Kira nodded smiling back. They went inside the elevator and when they reached the ground floor, they thanked the blacked haired nurse for letting them visit Fllay even though visiting hour is over.
