"Doctor Yu come fast into the VIP suite. Doctor Yu is called urgently to the VIP suite."
The alarm in the hospital began around 12:34am as the nurses were changing shift. On the corridors, the sound of the trolley's wheels being pushed in a fast rate, were loud making the patience in the emergency rooms wake up.
There was a sound of someone crying in a corner of the suite. A small cry that could be noticed only if you looked closely. A mother who just lost her son, a younger brother who lost the only hope he had and a father who had no words but had his head down as a respect for everyone who did their best.
On the white bed there was it, laying as nothing is happening with some tears in his eyes, the boy who's fate was decided on the day he crossed ways with a princess.
"Don't cry, everything will be fine as only if I am asleep." the boy just came conscious awake after a while of being brain dead. His eyes were stuck on the ceiling as trying to fight for some deep breaths. It felt so hard even hearing it, just like someone fighting to stay alive.
"Baji, mum is here, don't worry my son you will soon be out of here." her warm hand kept his son awake and made him cry feeling the warmth of his mum's presence. "Mum..."
He mumbled with a low voice, as a few tears were rolling down his face. "Tell me my sweet boy, what is it? What can I do for you?" as his mother spoke out words out of fear, the boy started to cough again, throwing stains of blood on the white bed sheets.
"...I wanna live, I wanna live so bad. I want to be there when she's old, I want to be there when she cries and so on. Deep inside, I always wanted to live...but you know what?" with the last breath he was taking, a smile appeared on his face and the room became silent and dark.
"....I am at peace knowing that he will take care of my only picked flower." as the room became silent, his hand dropped next to the bed and his eyes closed slowly. The fear of loss and the deep pain, could be heard from the voices in the room. The doctors and nurses were silently crying with the family as they did their best to save the boy who had so many dreams to accomplish.
--------------------------------------
I opened my eyes slowly, feeling the headache that took over my head as the sun light was touching my face. I took a deep breath but I could feel the air machine that helped me breath, it was much easier than alone. Beside me there was someone who fell asleep on the small sofa. At first I couldn't find out who it is but after sitting up and focusing more, I saw it.
"Izana-kun" his head was supported by a small pillow as his arms were crossed at his chest. With a small move on my bed, his eyes opened. The boy woke up and tried to run through the small distance to my bed, but he almost fell down. I grabbed his arm and looked at him.
"Are you okay? Mind your steps, you might get injured." as I spoke, the boy wrapped his arms around me and as he hid his face at my neck, I felt the tears that were falling down his face. "What happened?..." nothing. No response but a smile. The hug was there for a few minutes and then he broke it and touched my face with his hand.
It was weird especially coming from him. "You're safe...Thank God you're safe.."
"Did something happened? Why are you here, Izana?"
"You were unconscious for a week, glad you are back warrior. How did you make it through? Forget it, I am happy you're alive."
His words were making me wonder if there were any tragedies but suddenly I remembered; "Brother Ran..."
"He's fine, he is still under the doctors watch but he won't be out as quick as you. He is still unconscious but they said he'll wake up soon. Anyway, would you like to take a wal-...." his words were cut by a shoe that hit the back of his head, making him fall on the bed.
"Akari-chan, you're awake! I am here now, so the clown can go. I brought cheese buns and some milk." he was there again, standing at the door looking at me with those eyes, like he did before. Izana stood up and patted my head as he was heading out. "Yeah, we don't look forward to see you again, keep the troubles away." said Mikey.
"Mikey-kun!" somehow I couldn't stop myself and my hands stopped on his face, looking for any scratches or wounds. He smiled again and sat on the bed next to me, grabbing my wrists and leaving small kisses on them. "Akari, I am okay and fully fullyyy okay. Don't worry about me and eat, you must be hungry. Now look at me-.."
As he spoke, I hugged him. "You're not dead, I didn't lose you too, you're here...Mikey-kun you're here, right? Like I didn't lose you or Ran, right?"
"I am right here Akari, look I am alive and the shoe I threw at Izana, was 100% made of rubber and probably some wood so that makes me and the shoe real, right?" I couldn't believe it, he was here with me when I faded away and didn't run or get away....
"Akari, open wide the airplane is coming." I smiled at the sounds he made but I took a bite from the food he brought. As I was eating he kept looking at me and leaving small sighs out just like his heart was burdened with something.
I saw death before my eyes and didn't know everyone will make it, but I am glad I am here now. He stopped and closed his eyes as he laid his head on my chest. "There are so many things going on outside and everything is hard, but let me breathe for a second please so then I can take my courage on." His words were so stiff but I couldn't say no and kept him close enough just like something was pushing me from behind to do it.
"Akari, Baji is gone..."
And so then the world I was living in, scattered into million of pieces making me lose myself in the universe. I felt small and lost but I knew it deep inside that it will come a time when this nightmare will become true. I felt like everything around me is going away, but someone kept it together and as my vision got blurry, I looked up at someone that was keeping me close.
"I know it hurts and it's sudden news, it hurts me too a lot...but he had some last words he told to his mum which she will let you know herself. I will keep my promise to him always, even tho I had no chance to get inside the suite to see him. I'm here Akari, even the pain we'll share it together."
