Beautiful Lie . [ Chapter 6 : In Your Arms ]
Panicked gripped Kise as he saw the girl was surrounded by unknown people . He saw it , clearly that the girl swayed as balance left her . As fast as he could , he put on his hood , quickly grabbed her out from that mess .
I'm so sorry , Yukira …
Kise held her tighter .
Didn't mean to leave you there all alone , Yukira …
But , it's a bit hard when she struggled , obviously trying to release herself from Kise's grip .
Calm down , hey ! It's me !
Don't you at least … recognize me ?
Kise thought as she struggled again . But this time , it's weaker . Kise knew that the reporters were watching both of them , but right at that moment , he didn't give a damn at them .
Right now , Yukira's safety is what he should prioritize , and not some stupid questions from some weird , busybody reporters .
Kise placed his arms around the girl , supporting her while he's trying his best to get away from those people . He sighed , thinking why such things happen on the day that they supposed to enjoy it together .
Kise glanced at Yukira , who's barely conscious . Worried , Kise decided to take her to the nearest clinic that he managed to find along the busy street without realizing a pair of sky blue eyes watching them in envy .
.
Kise waited outside the doctor's room as she checked Yukira's condition . Luckily for him , Yukira managed to keep her consciousness just as soon as they arrived at the clinic's corridor . With the help of the nurse , they quickly brought her into the doctor's room .
A few minutes passed … and the doctor isn't out , yet .
Kise sighed , and closing his golden eyes . A wave of tiredness rush through him . Suddenly , he heard his name was called by one of the nurse , signalling him to come into the doctor's room .
"Kise – san , nee ?" the doctor asked , flashing her smile .
"Hinata – sensei !" Kise exclaimed as he saw the doctor in front of him .
"Can't believe meeting you again . You're so tall now !"
"Yeah , it's have been a while since the last time you came to our house , Hinata – sensei ."
"Yes . I think it's about four years ago , right ?"
"Yup ! So , Hinata – sensei , can you tell me what happened to my gir - … friend ?" Kise asked , looking a little nervous as the doctor shot him a meaningful glare .
"Oh , you mean your girlfriend ?"
"A – ah , no ! Wait ! She's not my girlfriend !" Kise denied . Hinata – sensei is our family personal doctor . What if she tell this to my dad ? No way !
"Really ? Bacause I don't think so …" she smirked .
"Ehh …" was all Kise managed to say . One word . Shit .
"Hey , you can trust me , you know ! I won't tell your father , Kise ." she said kindly .
"Uh , well … it's like what you thought …" Kise looked down , muttering .
"She's your girlfriend , so anyone in your family know about this ?"
"Nobody know about this , Hinata – sensei ."
"What ?"
"This is a secret , from my family , from my friends . If my family know about this , they'll probably asked me to clash with her ."
"Why ? Why must they do that ?"
"Mayumi – neechan probably won't do it , but the others will . After all , everything is Dad's order . Dad won't let us date until we're out from high school ."
"Wow ! That's way too mean ! I mean , kami – sama [ God ] , you guys are teenagers ! Isn't it normal to date , to have girlfriends ? What's wrong with your father ?!" she snapped .
"Hinata – sensei … why don't we talk about Yukira now ? You can't make your patients wait ." Kise said , giving her an innocent look .
"Tch ! Fine ! … Oh her name is Yukira ?" she asked .
"Yup , sensei . Please tell me now ."
"How long ?"
"Not that long … Tell me now , oba – chan [ aunty ] !"
"Fine , fine ."
"Well , then . Start now ."
"Kise – kun , let me ask you one question ." she asked , suddenly looking really serious .
"What is it , oba – chan [ aunty ] ?"
"Do you know that your girlfriend … suffered from social anxiety disorder ?"
"S – social anxiety disorder ? What … is that ?"
"Social anxiety disorder is characterized by intense fear in one or more social situations , causing considerable distress and impaired ability to function in at least some parts of daily life ." She explained .
"Some parts of life ?" Kise asked , frowning .
"Yes . Some people suffering from social anxiety disorder fear a wide range of social situations . That's why , most will isolates themselves from the world ."
"Then , what are the causes ?"
"Social anxiety disorder is known to appear at an early age in most cases. Mostly those who develop this disorder have developed it by the age of 11 . The many causes of social anxiety disorder . In her case , it's probably because of psychological factors ."
"… I never thought that … that she suffered from social anxiety disorder ." Kise sighed . So that's the reason she always went to the art room alone .
"Well , since she's your girl , there are few things that you must do !" Hinata – sensei said , while patting his back .
"What is it ?"
"Social anxiety disorder isn't a permanent thing . She's lucky , because she's still in early stage . So , from now on , you've got to communicate more with her and at least , accompany her sometimes . Don't let her stay alone ." she explained .
"Okay , anything else ?"
"That's all , I guess . Don't forget everything I've said ok ?"
"… Yes …"
.
Yukira sat up . Where am I again ? And what happened ? She looked to her side , only realizing Kise's presence . Am I at the hospital ? Frowning , Yukira tried to recall what had happened . Ah , my head hurts … She winced softly , scaring that it'll wake Kise .
"Hey there . You're awake ." a female voice greeted her .
"Who are you ?"
"I'm the owner of this clinic , Hinata Rin . You collapsed back then , luckily he brought you here ." she said , with a kind smile .
"Ah , I see …" Yukira looked down . What really happened back then ? I can't remember …
"Don't stress out yourself on little things . You should rest right now ." she advised , walking towards them .
"I'm so sorry for all the problems I've caused ." she said .
"No , don't worry about that ! It's my responsibilities as a doctor , okay ?" she said with a smile and left .
Yukira sighed .
What a bad day …
She can't help it . After everything's that had happened , she felt really bad . And hurt .
I remember waiting for Kise – kun .
Then , what happened ?
There were … many people surrounding me .
Yes . Then ?
They're asking me questions . Endless questions .
Suddenly , it hit her hard .
She remembered everything .
Yes , he leave her there , all alone . Then what is he doing here ?
Yukira looked at Kise one final time , while trying to get down from the bed . Then , she took the blanket and put it on Kise's back .
Glancing at him , she left the room .
.
"-se – kun !"
"Kise – kun !"
Uh , who the hell call me ?
Opening his eyes , Kise saw a woman .
"Hinata – sensei ?"
"Kise – kun ! What are you doing ?!"
Why is she so angry ?
"What ?"
"I told you to watch over her . And now , she gone !"
"She's not here ? Really ?!" Kise sat up straight , looking worried .
"Yeah … I think it's better if you go and find her . But , by now , I guessed she already went home ."
"Uh , okay ! I'm going to find her !" Kise said quickly , and left .
.
It was well past 8 pm . Kise's sisters , Nazuna and Mayumi waited for their brother at the living room . Suddenly , their father came and joined them . Mayumi glanced worriedly at the clock , softly praying that Kise will return home soon .
That kid ! Where did he go ?
Ryouta ! Come home already !
Did something happened to him ?
As Mayumi deep in thoughts , Nazuna broke the silence . "Ryouta's not home yet …" she said , earning a questioning look from the man sitting in front of her .
"Ryouta's not home yet ?" he asked , looking at Nazuna , giving her his full attention .
"Yes , otou – san [ Dad ] , he's not home yet ." she confirmed .
"Where did he go ?"
"That's what we would like to know . But , I guessed he turned off his cell phone ."
"Seriously ? That's rare . Ryouta always keep his cell phone on ." he sighed , before sipping a cup of coffee .
"Hmm , maybe he's at a private place ." Mayumi suddenly interrupted .
With a glare , Nazuna simply replied , "He can excuse himself , Mayumi . That won't be rude ."
Pouting , Mayumi shrugged and said , "Fine ! You're always right !"
"Dear , what's the matter ?" their mother who just came to the living room , asked .
"Your spoiled son isn't back yet . And it's already past 8 pm ." he said , looking at his wife .
"… Ryouta …" a soft sigh escaped from the elder woman's lip .
"… I'm going upstairs . Excuse me …" Mayumi excused herself , and began to walk towards the stairs .
Ring ! Ring ! Ring !
Startled , Nazuna looked at her cell phone . "Who is it , Nazuna ? Is it Ryouta ?" their mother asked .
"No , okaa – san [ Mum ] , it's not Ryouta . Excuse me for a while ." with a soft smile , she went out of the living room , and head out to the garden .
I've been waiting … She thought , happily .
.
Mayumi sighed for who-knows-how-many-time-already . As a sister , she's worried about Kise's safety . After all , he is a model . Is he going out with some girls ? She thought , looking at the window .
Ryouta , are you dating someone ?
She can't help but to think that Kise , her brother is dating someone . His attitude quiet different these days and she noticed that he is somewhat happier than usual . The usual Kise would always pick a small fight with his sisters .
Now , he always smile and even tried to help me and nee – chan [ Nazuna ] .
I wonder who changed him …
Not that it's bad …
… but I just wanted to know .
To be perfectly honest , Mayumi always thought that the rule 'No dating till you're 19' is ridiculous . She actually dislike it , but she have no choice but to abide it .
Ryouta , trust me .
If you're dating someone , I'll help you .
I won't tell anyone .
If anything , nee – chan will be the one who oppose their relationship .
I'll hope everything's fine …
.
Nazuna walked and sat on the bench . With a deep breath , she answered her cell phone .
"Hey there ." she greeted , smiling .
"Hello , Nazuna – san !"
"I've been waiting for your call ! What took you so long ?" frowning , Nazuna asked .
"Gomen nee [ So sorry ] , but I'm quite busy today …"
"Yeah , yeah . Whatever ! So , how is it ?"
"Ahh , you mean the 'stalking activity' ?"
"What else , nee ? How is it ?" she grumbled .
"Be patient , Nazuna – san ! Well , how should I say this …"
"Say what ?"
"I guessed he's meeting someone ."
"Someone ?! Who ?!"
"Apparently , it's a girl . Hah ! I can't believe this …"
"So , who is that girl ? His friend ?"
"I can't tell , because they're not that close and not that intimate ."
"Huh , I've to do something about this …" she sighed .
"Nee , Nazuna – san …"
"What ? About your payment ?"
"Heh , not that . But do you think I have a chance ?"
"Depends on you too . But I do think you have a chance ."
"Well then , I'll have my payment when you're my sister-in-law , nee ."
"Do whatever you want , do whatever you need . I'm going to find out about the girl's identity ."
"You better do so …"
"Yeah , thanks anyways . Oyasumi [ Good night ] ."
"Oyasumi [ Good night ] , Nazuna – san …"
Nazuna looked at her cell phone . Cursing , she went into the house , only to see Kise sitting next to their mother . Damn brat …
