Chapter 14
Comatose
I thought to myself I should better make another new chapter two more chapter to go until the ending story,
"We pass through this world but once. Few tragedies can be more extensive than the stunting of life, few injustices deeper than the denial of an opportunity to strive or even to hope, by a limit imposed from without, but falsely identified as lying within."
― Stephen Jay Gould, The Mismeasure of Man
"Life is a drama full of tragedy and comedy. You should learn to enjoy the comic episodes a little more."
― Jeannette Walls, the Glass Castle
BAAMM! CRASH BAMM!

The patient is now stable…
Hospital
Miss… Kumiko…
Bring her to emergency room quick
Kumiko please wake up, please nurse, doctor do anything..
Miss Kousaka, you can't enter, we have to wait…
It's my fault, it's my fault, Kumiko was there, If I just say to her it's okay to go..
Mr. William I'm being selfish, I'm cruel, I'm just thinking of myself.
It's not your fault, it's going to be okay… because the one who operating her is the best surgeon, Miss Kousaka, everything's going to be okay… You better going home, I called her parents and I'm sure they're also coming.
Who is coming?
Other relative.
How they know.
I'm sure, all the nurse here will called them?
Why? But I've never see them visiting Kumiko, when she collapse.
They're here before you guys coming visiting her.
Oh, Mr. William you look pale, and you all sweating?
I-i-I'm fine,
No, you're not.
I-i guess, you're right…
You better go home, I'm sure you're parents been looking at you, Kousaka san
I'm sorry, I didn't take care of your daughter Mr. Oumae.
No, it's fine, you sure sweating a lot. And you look pale too…
Good job, for calling the hospital, first… That should be enough for today. I'm sure Akiko is already there together with Mamiko.
Mr. Oumae, How about you. Why you're here at the waiting room, and you also calm and relax…
Miss Kousaka, you have to go now… You've been crying since we came here…
I'm fine, I called my mother… That I will stay at my classmate house.
That's bad to tell a lie.
I'm sure, Kumiko, still fighting over there, I'm sure my daughter always fighting over there, because she's bright as the sun, she was my energy, she's everything to us, Kumiko since she was kid she's been staying at the hospital… days past her sister always bringing her some book to read, But you know Kousaka san, you know she's always showing her bright smile to us, Deep inside she know, she knows why she's staying at the hospital, and why her nurse always visiting and when we visiting her and she said this "Mother, Onee chan, Father, I saw a different nurse visiting my room, and they're always having a sad face, it's everything's alright, and you see, I was dreaming it's all white I didn't see you there and I say the word "I'm not sure this is a world I belong in anymore. I'm not sure that I want to wake up." But why, father, mother, onee chan, is it okay to stay in this word. When she tell us about it, we don't know what we going to tell to her, Do you think Kousaka san. It's her time… But she's still have something she wants no matter what happen I'm sure that is her wish, she wants to play in International Piano Competition, maybe it's too late..
Kentaro, how is she? She's okay, right and where is Akiko and Mamiko.
There watching her operation. Mother, Father, what should I do? I really don't know what should I do, I know the doctor is good, but I just don't know what I will do, what if the doctor said she couldn't save her.
She's going to be alright, our granddaughter will going to be alright…
Miss Kousaka, let's go there.
I've never seen, Mr. Oumae…
As you heard what Mr. Oumae say. Even I don't know what to do, in this situation
Miss Kousaka, Miss Kumiko, just want to explain to you, she didn't go to sleep, just thinking how she tell to you about, But I guess I got the impression to you… You said you didn't love her, but why, you're crying as if you're world is around her… Miss Kousaka, you sure love her more than a friend, am I right?
I'm sorry, for lying Mr. William. I didn't know she was thinking about how she going to explain to me. She's right and I even tell to her, I don't want to see her voice, seeing her face, and I said to her be gone.
Miss Kousaka, where already here at your house…
Thank you, please call me, when she wake up. Please
But, you have a school tomorrow.
Please … Mr. William
You know where the hospital right?
Yes, I will wait at the parking lot.
Thank you…

"The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our separate ways, because we don't know which way to go. Are we going to choose to live or to die? Which of these two is better only God knows." Miss Kumiko, Please choose the right path, because everyone been waiting for you. Please, because your parent, your sister. And a lot of people been waiting for your eyes to open.
At the Kousaka resident
I'm sorry for my words and actions yesterday. I must admit, I am so stupid for saying those words to you. I hope you can still forgive me. From now on, I will think first before saying or doing anything that may hurt you, just please be okay and the operation with you going to be okay, Kumiko, just please I will promise to you, just please wake up.
Why do I feel uneasy when you're in there sleeping on the road with your eyes are close, I called your name over and over again, but you still did not open those amber eyes of your…
Reina dear, can we talk…
Yes, Mom
I heard on the news, about Miss Kumiko…
Mother, Kumiko is my friend, what I should do, she's so kind to give me a second chance, but I waste it…
Being sorry but not being sincere is useless. It will only make you do the same mistakes over and over again. So if you are really sorry, say it like you means it. And remind yourself not to hurt someone's feeling again.
I'm being useless, did I really mean it? Did I ever make a mistakes?
Mom, She have a healthy problem, and she's been taking her medicine to her, I said cursing words, and Her butler told me, she's been trying to figure out how she going to tell me about her competition but I, I'm such a fool to say those words to her…
Reina dear, having a healthy life is having a forgiving heart. If someone says sorry and mean it, then you should forgive. She forgiving you right, Reina dear, do not let your pride blind you from what is good and what is not. She's trying to say to you… You should better to tell her when she wakes up…
Thank you mom.
Good night, and sleep well. You have a class this morning, Okay..
Good night…

Saying sorry is not enough, you have to know how to make things right. Show how regretful you are, and finally, do something to fix what seems to be broken". Aurora san are did you say something?

Flashback
Tanaka senpai, I have to tell you something, Can we talk…
What is it? This can't be Kousaka Reina san did you fall in love with me?
No, no, I just want to know I have a friend asking me about love. Should I say a love advices..
Senpai, This friend of mine, falling in love. But she doesn't know everything about it…
Kousaka Reina san there's no friend, because this girl you're talking about none other than Oumae san right?
Why you're always sharp senpai…
Hahahahhaha sorry, then what can I do to my kohai…
I just want to know, how I feel if I've falling in love with her…
Did you feel that this girl can't get out of your mind? Daydreaming about this person when you should be practicing? Imagining your future together? Then that will be the sign of love
When you're in love, you begin to think your beloved is unique. The belief is coupled with an inability to feel romantic passion for anyone else. A chemical involved in attention and focus in your brain.
As is well known, falling in love often leads to emotional and physiological instability. You bounce between exhilaration, euphoria, and, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, trembling, a racing heart and accelerated breathing, as well as anxiety, panic and feelings of despair.
Did you feel it? And if you feel that symptoms, it means you really do fall in love with her? But are you sure about falling in love with Oumae chan~
There's a lot of meaning for the person fall in love…
