Hello everyone ! Chapter 6 is coming out ^^ Happy reading.
Chapter 6
The sun has risen to the sky of Tokyo. People are getting ready to start their day. Kotoko with her nurse uniform has been ready to go to the hospital. She said goodbye to her father and walked to the hospital. After a few minutes, she arrived at the hospital and went straight to the nurse station.
"ohayou" Kotoko said when she entered the nurse station.
"ohayou" replied the other nurse in that room.
Motoki and Marina approached Kotoko.
"Kotoko we need to talk to you" Motoki said.
Kotoko winced "about what ?"
"about Dr. Irie. A few days ago, me and Marina saw you with him near the entrance gate. What are you doing with him ?"
Flashback On.
Motoki and Marina ready to go home. They saw Kotoko and want to call her but suddenly Naoki appears. Motoki and Marina who saw him startled.
"what are they doing ?" Motoki said with a dumbfounded face.
"there's something fishy in here" Marina squinted her eyes.
"you're right. We must ask her"
Flashback Off.
"he just wants to drive me home because I didn't bring my umbrella. I already refused but he insisted to take me home, and yesterday I treated him because he already drives me home" Kotoko said calmly.
"WHAT ?" Motoki and Marina shrieked.
Kotoko was aghast.
"di-did you-did you just say he-he take you home ? Marina stuttered.
"yes" Kotoko said with an uncertain face.
Motoki grab her shoulder "what's your relationship with him ?"
"no-nothing, we are just co-workers" Kotoko was shocked.
"nonsense" Motoki released her.
"he is a cold hearted, how can he be so good to you ?" Marina said.
"I don't know" Kotoko looked at the clock in her hand "bye, it's already my shift" and she left Motoki and Marina who still wondering.

Kotoko walked to the room 512.
"ohayou Mrs. Yoshida" Kotoko said cheerfully
"oh…it's you again ? what do you want ?" Mrs. Yoshida said rudely.
"of course, it's me again since I'm your nurse. I just want to check your blood pressure" Kotoko smiled widely despite her harsh word. She knows Mrs. Yoshida just feeling lonely. Mrs. Yoshida all alone by herself, her husband had died since 5 years ago, and her children don't care about her. Mrs. Yoshida just loved to tease her, she doesn't mind it as long as she can make Mrs. Yoshida happy.
"are you done ?" Mrs. Yoshida said.
"yes. Do you need something ?"
"no, just leave me"
"are you sure ? you will feel lonely without me"
"just in your dream"
"okay, I'm going now. I have another patients. Bye Mrs. Yoshida" Kotoko smiled widely.
After Kotoko left, Mrs. Yoshida chuckled.

Naoki in his office. He was reading his patient's document, and suddenly there was a knock on his office door.
"come in"
Naoki looked up to see who was visiting him. He unconsciously stands up "oji-san" he give him a bow.
Shigeo only give him a nodded.
"please take a seat" Shigeo sitting in front of Naoki.
" how are you Naoki-kun ?"
"I'm fine, how about you oji-san ?"
"I'm fine too" Naoki nodded.
"is there anything I can help you with ?" Naoki asked.
"well, I'm still surprised by the fact that you're Kotoko's doctor"
"I was also surprised when I know that Kotoko was my patient"
"Naoki-kun how is my daughter now ?"
"she is fine. Her memory will come back depends on her health" Shigeo nodded.
"Naoki-kun I want to ask you something ?" Shigeo's face turned serious.
"what about, oji-san ?"
Shigeo sighed "can you keep your distance with my daughter ?"
Naoki aghast "what ? why ?"
"sorry Naoki-kun, but I don't want Kotoko to suffer anymore. I know you're just doing your duty as a doctor to help her. In the past, you're always being mean to her. I don't want Kotoko to remember about you being mean to her. It will just hurt her. You know what I mean, right ?"
"but I love Kotoko" Shigeo shocked to hear that. "I love Kotoko, I realized it when you and Kotoko moved to America, my life back to normal but it doesn't feel right. My life is flat, I can predict anything. It's not exciting anymore. Kotoko make my life more colorful and I feel alive with Kotoko" Naoki stared into Shigeo eyes "please give me a second chance, I'll make her happy. I promise you"
Shigeo fixated. He never expected Naoki confessed his love to Kotoko.
"okay, I'll give you a second chance. Please take care of Kotoko"
"of course, I'll take care of her and make her happy. Thank you oji-san" Naoki smiled widely. Shigeo give him a nodded and smiled.
After that Shigeo left him. Naoki is determined not to waste the second chance he has been given. He will make Kotoko remember about him and make her fall in love again with him. He will make her happy. Nothing can stop him.

Lunch time.
Kotoko and her friends going to the canteen. They take a seat after getting their food, suddenly there was a voice.
"is it okay if I join you as well ?"
Their eyes widen after seeing who is talking. Marina choked on her drink, Motoki dropped his/her chopstick.
"IRIE NAOKI" they shouted except Kotoko. Their voice attracts the attention of the people in the canteen.
"um…oh…yeah, sure Irie-kun. You can join us, right ?" Kotoko saw her friends.
"oh… yes, of course" Tomoko said. Marina, Motoki, and Keita nodded.
"thank you" Naoki take a seat beside Kotoko. Marina and Motoki narrowed their eyes towards Naoki and Kotoko, then they exchanged glances. Tomoko and Keita looking around them, there's still many empty tables but why Naoki want to join them ? Tomoko and Keita just shrugged it off, they don't want to question it.
After a long silence, Kotoko speaks to break the silence.
"so, what will you do after this ?"
"I will check the patients in unit 3" Tomoko said.
"I will assist an operation in unit 2" Marina said.
"me and Keita will write some reports" Motoki said.
Kotoko nodded and turning her head to her left side.
"what about you Irie-kun ?"
" I'm volunteered in unit 5. They need more doctors and ask if I can assist them, and I agreed to help them"
"really ? me too" Kotoko widen her eyes " they need more nurses so I assist them"
"let's go together" Naoki said. Marina, Motoki, Tomoko, and Keita flabbergasted. They don't believe what they hear. A cold-hearted Irie Naoki invites Kotoko to go with him.
"okay, let's go together" Kotoko said with her smile.
After lunch, Kotoko and Naoki left earlier. Marina, Motoki, Tomoko, and Keita still don't believe what they see.
"don't you think Dr. Irie likes Kotoko ?" Keita said.
"maybe this sounds impossible but I guess so" Tomoko said.
"there's something between them" Motoki said.
"I think so" Marina said.
They stared at each other and sighed.

In another place.
Noriko just got back from a supermarket. She walked past the Aihara restaurant and saw it was opened.
'What?' she winced because it's still closed the last time she saw it. She walked to the restaurant.
"Aihara-san ?" Noriko shocked to saw Shigeo right in front of her eyes.
"Noriko-san ?" Shigeo shocked too. "what are you doing here ?"
"I just got back from supermarket and past your restaurant and I saw it was opened. When are you coming back ? How ?"
"just take a seat first and I'll tell you everything"
Shigeo and Noriko sit in the corner of the restaurant. Shigeo started to tell the story such as Kotoko's accident, they lived in Tokyo again, and about Naoki and Kotoko. Noriko is very happy to hear it especially about Naoki and Kotoko.
"my instincts are never wrong. I know that son of mine very well. They're matched perfectly. Should I help them ?"
"Noriko-san, I…" "should we lived together again ?"
"Noriko-san, I don't think so. I mean just let them finish their business, they're already adults"
"but…" "no but especially with Kotoko's current situation, I believe Naoki has his own way"
Noriko sighed "okay, but if Naoki didn't make any improvement I'll make my move"
Shigeo just shook his head and sighed, nothing can stop Noriko after all.

In the evening.
"tadaima" Naoki said.
Noriko who heard it approached Naoki. "okaeri onii-chan" Noriko smile widely. "do you want to have dinner ? I've cooked your favorite food"
Naoki winced it's unusually for her mother to cook his favorite food except on special days "what's wrong ?"
"why did not you tell me ?"
"about what ?"
Noriko giggled "about you and Kotoko" Noriko playfully poked his shoulder. Naoki widen his eyes "how did you know ?"
"do you think you're smart enough to keep something secret from me ?" Naoki frowned.
"I know it from Aihara-san. He tells me everything. Do you need my help ?"
Naoki closed his eyes and sighed "just stay out of it, please"
"okay but if you need something just called me"
Naoki sighed and walk away to his room leaving Noriko with her giggles.
Thank you, give me some reviews ^^
