October…
~Decision~
We had been prepared every thing we need.
He has chosen to marry me in Sapporo.
“I think, the winter in Sapporo is the most beautiful of all place in Japan,”
“Besides, you can visit your ancestor’s graves,”
2 Months before our marriage…
Today, I had to take the document in the ground floor. When I just wanna turned to the administration room, I met some one. Seems, I recognize him. He is…
“Chado-senpai?” I called his name.
“Ah. Yes, I am…” He glanced at me.
“Ah, you’re…” seemed He recognize me.
“Aihara Izumi, aren’t you? The 14th conscripts of Sakishima Gakuen??”
“Ya,”
“The one who crashed me when my graduated day??”
“Yes! How are you Senpai?”
“Fine. You work here?”
“Yes,”
“Unbelievable! You have been a nurse,”
“Hehehe… thank you for your praised, Senpai…”
Then, we had a chitchatted for a moment.
He’s Chado-senpai. Actually, his full name is Yasutora Sado. But, everyone loves to call him ‘Chado’. He’s my Senpai in Senior high school in this city, Niigata.
Did I tell you that I came from Sapporo?
Actually, the story was like this.
When I was 12th years old, my mom’s was dead.
Then, after I was 15th years, my grandpa took me to this city, Niigata. I lived here since I was in 2nd Grade Senior High School. I went to school at Sakishima Senior High School.
I knew Chado-senpai not too long. Only one year curriculum. That’s too much. Maybe, only one day…
“Oh! Unexpectedly to met you here. Actually, our school is holding a ‘reunion’ party. Would you like to come there?”
“Ah, reunion??”
“Yes. I haven’t taken the inviting card for you. Next day, I’ll bring it for you,”
Wah, suddenly I got a reunion! It means, I can meet my old friends!!
When I was singing happy-happy, I crashed Dr. Abarai. Is today is a crashed day??
“Who is He?” He asked me seriously.
“He is my Senpai when I was I Senior High School,”
“He’s not your previous boyfriend, right??”
“Of course not,”
Seemed He was so suspicious toward me.
“What are you two talking about??”
“He invited me for school reunion,”
“Not more??”
“No…”
Then, He just left me without more.
This night, I want to visit Dr. Abarai’s apartment. I wander because; He went home earlier than usual. Also, I want to bring him some ‘dango’. Seemed, He’ll like it.
“Good night, miss, what I can do for you,” Hanatarou addressed me.
Hanatarou, Yamada Hanatarou. He’s the night receptionist in this apartment. I knew him after I made my relationship with Renji. And, I often came to his apartment.
He’s a kind guy, cute, and little bit careless. Anyway, He’s a good guy. Also cute with his ‘panda-eyes’. But, we haven’t knew each other closer. We only smiled to each other when our eyes were collided.
“Good night, can I meet with Dr. Abarai???”
“Oh, I knew. You’re his girlfriend, right??”
“Ehee… don’t say such that stupid thing, yes, I am. Why??”
“Actually, you may, miss. But, 2 hours ago, there was a girl, looked for him,”
“Who??” I was suspicious him.
“I don’t know. But, after Abarai-san was came here, He hugged her directly, and brought her in into his room,”
I became silenced…
“I’m sorry, miss…”
“Aihara. Izumi Aihara,”
“I’m really sorry; miss Aihara, if my information made you uneasy. But, I said the truth,”
“It’s okay, I’ll check him by myself. Anyway, thank you, Night,”
“Night,” He bowed to me.
Then, I walked to the 8th floor of this building. When I wanted to knock the door, I hear a woman was crying inside the room. And also there was heard by me Dr. Abarai’s voice who was calmed the woman down.
“It’s okay, I’m with you,” said Dr. Abarai.
My heart felt uneasy. I choose to leave the room and home. In the home, I was little bit crying. Considered Hanatarou’s statement. Can be Dr. Abarai had an affair with that woman??
Next day, Dr. Abarai didn’t address me as usual. Usually, He said hello and hug me inside his office. But, not this day. He just depressed and silenced.
“Good Morning, Doctor, may I helped you?”
“No. You can leave now, and do your job,”
“But, look like you’re very depressed. What happened??”
“Not your business! And now, get out,” He beaten the desk.
I got out and knew nothing about last night and Dr. Abarai’s conditions.
“Yo! Aihara, don’t be a daydreaming!” He slapped my head.
“Oh, Chado-Senpai, how are you??”
“Very well. Why you’re look so impassionate??”
“Um, I don’t know,” I bended my head.
“Hey! Cheer up! You got one message from us!”
“What message?” I tried to lift my face.
“Tarrra…!! Sakishima Gakuen’s inviting letter for reunion!! It just came this morning, and I tried to give it to you directly,”
“Really??!”
“Yes. Here!!” He gave me the letter.
“See you! I’m really sorry to leave you as early as possible. I have another business,”
He disappeared from my sight after I waved my hand to him.
Then I read the letter that Chado-senpai gave to me. It written the reunion will be held 4days again. And He promised me to pick me up at 07.00 p.m.
Saturday night, 8th October…
Actually, I had a boy who have been became my past. And He was my senior. One year older than me.
My heart felt beaten up. I prepared myself to meet with him.
“There, we have been arrived,” Chado-Senpai stopped his car.
“I go in, Senpai,”
“Go. See you inside,” then I went to the buildings inside.
“Aihara!!!” suddenly someone shouted at me.
“Uh? Oh! Hi, Hiyori!!”
She’s Hiyori. Sarugaki Hiyori. One of my friends in 2-F class. She’s very kind to me.
“Hey. How are you??” asked her.
“I’m fine. You’re??”
“Never be so fine like this. Have you been work??”
“I’ve,”
“Where??”
“Near here. In Niigata Hospital,” I smiled at her. She never been changed at all since the last time we’ve met.
“Ah! You’re a Doctor??”
“No. I’m just a Nurse. Where do you stay right now??”
“I’m staying in Okinawa right now,”
That I also met the others.
“Hey, Aihara,”
“What?”
“Why you didn’t look for Kaien-Senpai??” said Hiyori.
“Ah! What are you talking about??”
“Come on. The chance never comes twice,” She teased me.
“Um, I don’t know it feel……”
“Forget it, Aihara,” Suddenly Chado-senpai came behind me.
“Why, Senpai??”
“I’ve checked the list. He didn’t come at this night. So, please, forget him,”
“Oh, how pitiful,” Hiyori clapped my shoulder.
“It’s alright, Senpai! The most important is I can meet my whole friends,”
That night, I was home without knew what He was wanted to talk to me in 5 years ago…
My house, 01.00 p.m.
When I was sitting on my bed, my phone was ringing.
“Oh. Hi, Uryuu nii,” this was Uryuu nii called me.
“Izumi, may asked your help??”
“Why it’s so sudden. Besides, it’s been night,”
“Please. As soon as possible, you come up here,”
His voice was so hoarded.
“Oh God!! Are you sick??”
“Yes. My temperatures is 40 degree Celsius,”
“Where is Shunsui-Oji??”
“He’s still in Beijing right now. He just left yesterday,”
“Alright! I’ll come there tomorrow,”
Sunday, 9th October in the morning…
“How many days will you be there?” asked Dr. Abarai.
“May be 5 days. Longer more is 7 days,”
“But, we still busy here, come on, Izumi,”
“I’m really sorry, Doctor. My brother was sick, and He really needs me,”
“Very well, 5 days.”
“Thank you Doctor,”
“Don’t to so long,”
“Why??”
“I’ll be missed you…”
