SIX

Tezuka didnt come to the library again. Its been a week since Asako being hospitalized and shes still extremly weak that she can do nothing.

Iku's sitting alone at the canteen, her mood really is gloomy. Dojou whos going to take a break saw her and after getting his food, he sit right infront of her, without saying anything.

"Tezuka said, if they didnt kill the baby, Asako could die." Dojou whos eating his lunch stop as Iku start talking. Its seems like her heart is all focus on Asako that she dont bother the truth that Dojou sitting infront of her. "But even if they kill the baby, she could die as well because shes too weak to do an abortion." Her tears began to flow. "Im afraid. Im so afraid that I couldnt see her smile anymore. I love her so much. She have helped me so many times and even shes used to like you, she still support me wit all her might."

Iku cant talk anymore. Dojou pat her head as usual.

"Hikaru" Tezuka whos layin his head on Asako's bed flinched. He raise his head and found Asako trying to open her eyes while breath heavily. "Is it okay?" she carress her belly then look at Tezuka whos stoned.

"You, know it?"

"I want to tell you but it seems you and Iku too busy lately and Im unsure yet. I just found out like 2 days ago by test pack."

"You should have tell me!"

"Im sorry." She answer weakly with a hurted expression. "Im just too excited and terrified."

"What?! What the hell are you scare about?"

"What do you think?"

She look at him again, still with the same expression. Tezuka about to ask again but then he understand. He sigh while folding his arms.

"Asako," Tezuka realize that his wife began to cry. "I never hate kids, Im just too akward to be near them." He get his face nearer to hers. "And Im also so excited when I found out we are going to have a baby as well." He kiss asako's forehead. Then stay by her side until shes asleep again.

Iku furious when she find out that Asako awake already.

"So, shes fine now?!"
"No. I will still kill the baby."
"Are you crazy?!"

Iku just couldnt believe her co worker said so.

"You might say Im crazy but I will do anything to save her life."

Tezuka stood up from his chair and leave the work room. Only Iku and Komaki left now. Iku hurriedly turn her face to Komaki.

"Woah. I cant do anything about that."

"Sir! I dont think its the right thing to be done!"
"Me neither. But its his wife's life. Its his decission."

"But its Asako's baby! He cant decide that on his own!"

Iku chase Tezuka, not waiting for Komaki's next line.
