First off,
Thank you for the sweet sweet mails! I read them and they are so heart warming! I never knew I had people or a.k.a fans ( I guess) that enjoy my fanfiction. To be honest, I'm not the best writer or story teller. There are so much more awesome Fanfiction writers and I envy them. As I read their stories, and I feel so small (haha). Like, I feel like I should learn from them and observe what I can do to make the stories a little more interesting. If I find a story/Author that is A+ a million amazing, I will tell you in the next update!
Again, thank you for the sweet fan mails! I don't like calling it fan mail :( it kind of sounds demanding or something. I see you all as my friends than fans. A big happy family :)
Enjoy!
" Take care, Ryu" He whispered softly as his hand dropping from his chest and his breathing slowly stopping.
The monitor slowly beeped loudly and faintly.
Ryu suddenly heard a few nurses screaming and busting into his father's hospital room. The cup was overfilling with water but he couldn't move. Truth is, he was scared. He didn't know what to do when the doctor screamed ," Get the defibrillator ready!" and heard electric shocks and big pumps.
Ryu slowly walked towards the room, still leaving the cup overfilling. He saw one of the nurses exchanging another mask with a stronger filltered mask. The doctor's face turned pale when the defibrillator didn't give any signals to Mr. Sanada's life. The doctor tried once more, screaming at the nurse about something like, " Put it to a stronger level!" As the other nurses stood a couple steps back,
Thump.
He saw his father's body bounce along as the defibrillators shock him. Still no response.
" Sanada Kun please go out for a moment this is an urgent emergency" One of the nurse called as she dragged Ryu slowly out of the room. He slipped his hand out of her grip and walked towards his dad.
" Dad"
Still no heart beat signal on the monitor. It just screamed a fainted beep, with no rhythm.
" Dad?"
The doctor put the defibrillators away slowly as one of the nurse took off the cord with a sigh. The doctor faces Ryu with sad eyes, shaking his head. The nurse who held the mask, took it off and put her hand on Mr. Sanada's neck.
" No pulse"
Ryu's heart dropped when he heard that.
" It can't be possible, he was ok and talking a few while ago." Ryu said while shaking. He felt tears roll down his face for the first time. He never knew he could felt pain this way.
" I'm sorry", The doctor only said. Over and over he said that while he slowly raised the white sheet over his dad's body, up to this face.
Ryu didn't say anything. He felt like a little child again. The only thing he wanted to do was cry.
" What?" Chizuru asked again as if Ayane's words weren't clear. Ayane sighed and stared at Chizuru with the serious eyes she only made when she was troubled by something.
" Ryu's dad past away"
" He was healthy! He was sleeping quietly and and-" Chizuru was speechless. Even though she didn't finish her sentence, Ayane was clear of what she was gonna say. Sawako cried, like always her mind was so soft and weak. She did have a strong side of hers, but mostly weak. Probably cause shes too nice to be mean and tough, like Chizuru. Chizuru stood up and started to put on her coat.
" What are you doing?", Ayane demanded an answer.
" To Ryu. And Uncle"
" What for? Nothing can be helped" Ayane answered as Chizuru zipped up her coat.
" I just feel like this is the only way to help Ryu. To be with him" Chizuru answered with a soft smile. " Not gonna tag along?"
The doctor handed Ryu a white note. It was crumbled and dirty but he managed to opened it carefully.
" Your father wanted me to hand you this when he passes away" The doctor added when Ryu was half way done with opening the note. Ryu stopped and looked at the doctor with tired red eyes. He cried so much that he felt numb. He felt like even though there's another event, he wouldn't be able to shed another tear, because he wasted it all off of this event.
" So my dad knew he was gonna die", Ryu said that not close to a question, but a statement. The doctor nodded slowly.
" I'm sure he told you that he is alive and healthy. But deep down, he knew he didn't have much time. I believe he also told you that he just fell and bumped his head?", The doctor asks and Ryu sort of nods.
" I think he did tell me that, I'm sorry I can't think straight right now" Ryu answered while the doctor nodded in agreement.
" I'm sure that is true but," The doctor stopped halfway his talk and opened a folder. He took out a x-ray of the skull. He saw that half of the skull was fractured; it was horrible enough to make him wince. Then the doctor took another x-ray picture out and gave him a small smile.
" Don't be scared to look at this one" The doctor softly demanded as Ryu slowly looked down at the paper. It was the same picture; a skull but a fully recovered skull. There was still a mark on the skull, probably where the fractured happened but he felt his stomach was knotted.
" It's my dad"
" Yes", The doctor replied as he smiled softly.
" We did the surgery so the fractured skull wouldn't damage the brain cells. It was half a success. Until," The doctor stopped and gave a moment for Ryu to breathe. Ryu didn't notice he was holding his breathe, until the doctor stared at him for a few moment.
" Are you prepared?", the doctor asked as Ryu's breathing soften and came back to normal. Ryu smiled.
" Possibly" He answered as the doctor crossed his legs.
" We didn't know the brain was already fractured as well, until we took the x-ray after the surgery" The doctor started again while staring at the roof.
" You're dad woke up a week later, but he begged us to keep it a secret to you and the other close relatives, We didn't know why and I'm sure he told you," The doctor stopped and saw Ryu's face become pale.
Chizuru walked in the hospital with Ayane and Sawako and they saw Kento and Kazehaya sitting on the chairs.
" Finally here" Kento said while Kazehaya stared at Sawako. They both nodded at each other with little cute blushes but sadden as they came back to reality.
" Let's go hurry" Chizuru announced. She knew she was being too pushy, but she couldn't help it. She was too worried of Ryu. She also wanted to see with her own eyes; if Uncle was really dead.
" He continued his fake coma status and he already knew he was gonna die I already told you, I suppose?" The doctor continued. He was gonna say something again but was stopped when they heard a knock, following by a breathless nurse coming in. She bowed her head in apology.
" Excuse me for the interruption, but there is an emergency patient needing urgent attention" She said with breathless wheezes and the doctor nodded.
" I'm sorry Sanada-Kun. We'll talk later" Ryu nodded. As the doctor closed the door behind him, Ryu continued to open the note.
Ryu,
I might be at my death bed by the time you read this. I hope the doctor told you some information about me. I'm sorry I had hid my coma to you. I didn't want you to know I was gonna die soon. You have to stay strong. Without me, you are lonely I know. Chizuru is with you. Kazehaya and the others are with you as well. My son, I just want you to remember that you are really not alone. Continue living without me and one day, you will thank me for that.
Also, don't lose from capturing Chizuru's heart. I'm sorry I couldn't see you both in wedding suits and dresses before I die one day.
Ryu sort of blushed at the last sentences but smiled softly as warm tears rolled down his cheeks. He stood up and folded the note as he opened the door. He saw Chizuru.
Chizuru saw his red eyes and pale face. She knew he cried. She slowly walked closer to him and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't want to say anything, nor did she knew what to say. She just simply wanted to cheer him up with her actions, not her words. Ryu wrapped his arms around her as well as he cried silently, not wanting Chizuru to know.
Yay! I finally updated again! I hoped you enjoyed this story. This fanfiction is having less romance in it O.O I'll work hard on it!
