28th February, First day of spring
Three days ago I was sick and didn’t come to work.
“What are you doing!!?” He scolded me today.
“I’m sorry, Doctor,”
“Thank god, because of your stupidity, our report became a mountain! And do you know when it’s deadline??!!” He looked so upset.
“I didn’t know,”
“Its tomorrow!! Ah! You’re made me …”
I just silenced and bended my head off.
“Ah, forget it.” Seemed, his emotion was under control
Seemed He stopped scolding me up.
“Aihara, do you have free time tonight??” He sat on the chair.
“Yes. Why??” asked me with the trembled voice, and still bended head down.
God, is He asking me for date??
“I’ll come to your house,”
“W…W…Wh… Why??” I became so shocked.
He came to my house??!
“Yeah. Why?? Because we have to done the report tonight. If not, I’ll be fired,”
“But, we can do it at your house,”
“Don’t ever expect that my house as clean as this room,”
“Why??”
“Come on! I’m a man! It usual if a man has a dirty room,”
“Oh… O…Okay,”
After He said that, I couldn’t stop thinking ‘what should I buy’ for his ‘attended’. I kept thinking of that in that day’s whole time.
“I’ll bought sashimi, or Nabemono, or……..”
I mumbled to my self.
“Hey, Aiko-chan!!”
Suddenly Inoue-san addressed me from my back.
“Oww!! You’re make me surprised,”
“Hey, I saw you’re daydreaming this whole day,”
“Um, I’m thinking something,”
“About what?” She sat next to me.
“Um, I guess, I can’t tell it to you,”
“Come on,”
“Um, don’t be laugh okay??”
“Promise!” She covered her mouth with her two hands.
“Dr. Abarai will come to my house,”
Then I looked at Inoue-san. She just silenced and seemed she didn’t believe what I just said.
“Hey! Come on. Don’t be like that,”
“I just didn’t believe that He would come to your house,”
“Now, I’m confusing to prepared his attendance,”
“Um, what would you make?”
“I don’t know,” I sighed.
Suddenly…
“Hey, you two. Come back to your posts,”
“Do… Doctor!!” I stepped back to Inoue-san’s back.
“Don’t address me like I am a ghost!!”
“I’m sorry, Doctor Abarai. We’ll be back,” said Inoue-san. She glanced at me. “Good luck,”
Then, Dr. Abarai walked front of me, when we were coming back to the room.
“Um, Doctor. May I ask you something??”
“What??”
“I wanna asked what your favorite food is.”
“For what?” He glanced at me.
“Um, tonight, you’ll come to my house. So, I’ll prepared something to my superior,”
“No. no need for that,”
“Really??”
“No need if that’s makes you troubled.”
“But,”
“I said, its fine,”
Then we both back to the job.
Night, 10.00 p.m.
After we both finished our job, we went home to my house.
He was brought his car. It was my first time to sit next to him in this car. I felt rather bit nervous. After we visited a minimarket first, we arrived front of my ‘block of house’.
“This is your house??” that was his first impression toward my house.
“Um, yes. Why??”
“Hm, I imagined its bigger and not an arranged-house”
“You’re insulting me??”
“Sort of,” said him while walked inside that building.
Oh… I see…
When I opened the door, Ryouta came out to me.
“Hey, Ryouta-kun…” I want to lift him up, but He went to Dr. Abarai’s feet.
“Hey, what the…”`
“I’m sorry Doctor. He’s very curious with the new ‘people’ in this house,”
Ryouta kept walked around Dr. Abarai’s feet.
“Ah, you’re made me troublesome,” He lifted Ryouta and put him on his shoulder.
Seemed Ryouta very happy on his shoulder.
Then, we were in at my house’s rooms. It was very nervous for me when we both were inside. He began to putt off his coat. He pulled all the documents and reports outside.
He was so handsome with the white shirts on his body. The loosed tie hanged on his neck, the coiled long sleeves. Ah, He was so damn cool at that night!
Then I went to the kitchen to serve a coffee. I saw He was playing with Ryouta. I didn’t know that He likes cat very much. And I guess, Ryouta more spoiled to Dr. Abarai than me. Huh…
Ryouta, you didn’t know who is your real master.
After I served him a coffee, we began to work.
Suddenly, it heard sounds like, ‘Guuuuu….’
I didn’t know what kind of that sound was. But, I knew it after I saw Dr. Abarai’s face.
“Oh, you’re hungry, Doctor??”
“Um, nope,”
Once again, that sounds were heard.
“Okay Doctor, just tell me the truth. Actually, you’re hungry aren’t you?? Then, I’ll see something in my kitchen,” I got up, and went to the kitchen.
A few minutes later, I was only found Onigiri.
“I’m sorry Doctor, I only found onigiri,”
“Put it on the table,”
“Um, I’m going to go to the minimarket first. Maybe, I’ll found some delicious food there,”
“Aihara, sit down,” seemed, He prevented me.
“I’ll be back at once,” I opened the door.
“Aihara, listen to me,” He putted the pen.
“Um,” I stopped my intention.
“Come. I need no food from outside. Onigiri is enough,”
Then I back to my seat.
“Do you know that I love onigiri so much??”
I shook my head.
“It’s because Onigiri, always made from hands,”
“Huh??”
“Everything that made from hands and love, always has damn delicious taste,”
“Oh, yeah,”
“Now, let’s done it,”
I looked up to my surroundings. The sun shines us both from the cleave of unopened curtains.
I didn’t know what I felt later. The thing that I remembered, I woke up. Oh, I was fallen asleep on the table. Then I saw Dr. Abarai was fell asleep too front of me. He did more than me. He did my report. I saw He slept very well. Maybe He got to be so tired. I covered him by a blanket. I pulled his hair-tie and his long red hair hanged loosely.
He was handsomer with that hair style.
Hehehe…
I looked up to the clock. Oh… It has been 10 a.m. in the morning.
Hah!! 10 a.m.??
“Doctor! Wake up!!” I patted his shoulder.
“Umm!! Don’t disturb me! I’m just take a sleep!!” He began to pout in his dream.
“It has been 10 a.m.!!”
“Hah?! 10 a.m. you say??!! Stupid!!” He jumped directly.
“But, the bathroom only one??” I felt so panic. What nee-san gonna do if we came late?!
“There’s no other way…” He muttered by his self.
“Don’t ever you think of that, Doctor……” I stepped back.
“What??” seemed He didn’t understand that was I talked about.
I just didn’t want to take a bath together. It made me shy!! I won’t my face looked so fiery red in this morning.
“Let’s do the Janken,” He stretched his hand.
“Huh??”
“Yeah! Janken. Don’t tell me that you don’t know?”
“What age are you? It’s elementary school’s play…”
“There’s no time!”
JAN-KEN-PON!!!
“Great,” I was lost.
“Hurry up! Because we’ll not took a bath!!” He threw me his coat.
“Why me?!” I refused.
“You are my assistant, right?”
Willy-nilly, I brought him the suitcase and the coat, while He brought the report and a grip of roasted bread. I’m hungry in this morning shit…
“I’m sorry, sir, miss… the last train for this morning has been left this railway station,” said one of station’s staffs.
“No other way, except…” before I finished my muttered, He pulled my hand to go.
“Bus station!!”
After ran for 20 minutes, we were so luck. Because after we reached the place, we saw a bus was stopping. We entered it directly. Oh, God… The bus was so crowded! I couldn’t breathe inside this swarm.
Suddenly, I felt someone’s hands, touched my thigh. It came up until almost reached my personal area. I wanted to shout, but I can’t! God…
— BRAKK!!
Dr. Abarai pulled me into his chest, and closed his hands behind my back.
“Do… Doctor…” I just could say that and looked up toward him.
I could felt his heart’s beat from my skin that touched his chest, his aroma in this late morning, and his dripped sweats.
“You idiot!!” He scolded me when we just got off from the bus.
“You should be shouted if someone touched you like that!”
I bended my head, “I’m sorry Doctor… But, thank you for your help…”
“Forget it, let’s go to work…” He guided me to enter the hospital.
I’m sorry Doctor… I love you…
