CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE
NANA ISHIKAWA
“The patient is now okay, he just need a lot of rest. For now, you can visit him any time at his room. Good bye, have a good day.”
I gulp hard the moment I heard what my brother's doctor said. Kenji is now fine but boss... tch! Why the heck does he need to catch those two bullets?!
Together with Kakucho, Takeomi and Rindou, we both paved our way towards my brother's room. He was tortured by Lou Siév's men and I won't forgive them for what they did!
“Oi Kenji, you're still alive!” Rindou screamed and sat on the metal seat beside my brother.
He gently gave me a small smile and I just nodded. We were not that close as brothers but deep inside, we care for each other.
“And you got a long cut on your cheeks, Rindou. That's more painful.”
“Don't underestimate me bastard!” Rindou striked.
I sighed and sat on one of the sofa's inside the room. Boss Mikey was still resting though he's okay now. Sanzu still can't walk due to the knee shot he had yesterday. Koko on the other side, well, he's also resting. And the rest of the Lou Siév executives are on their den, griefing at their silent executive's death... and Amarilys... our only member who fought 'til the end, was also dead.
“Man, I don't have any idea that Amarilys' already married, and she has a kid!” Rindou spouted.
“Who was it? Harvin Howards?” Takeomi asked.
Kakucho nodded and crossed his arms. “Mmm, according to one of my intels, Fran appointed him as Lou Siév's silent executive. He works in the shadows, and even their original executives doesn't have an idea that there's this so-called silent executive on their den.” He explained.
“Then what about their son? I heard they have a son, right?” Takeomi asked and I nodded.
“Oh... Arvin Howards? He's Freya's favorite boy.” I spoke.
“You always have the perfect timing to put Freya in the middle of the talk, tch.” Kenji stated that made me chuckle.
“Well...” I blurted in.
The rest of the days became exhausting. I was the one appointed to take care of Boss Mikey and the rest of Bonten executives. Sanzu can barely walk now because someone payed for the best doctor to treat him. I wonder who the woman is.
“After this, what's your plans, Boss? Aren't you going to come at Y/N and your child?” I asked as I was preparing for his food.
He rested his head to the pillow and click the insides of his cheeks. It looks like he was thinking of something or rather someone that he can't answer my simple question.
“Oh nevermind.” I blurted in. He really don't plan on answering me.
“What is it again?”
So he has plans after all.
“What are your plans boss after all this shits? You're going to see your woman and child right?” I asked once again.
He just stared at me and later on nodded. “I will, but it'll take years.”
My forehead crease upon hearing his sentence. “What do you mean? Uhm, it should be fine if you'll do it after—”
“I don't even know if they'll accept me, and we're not even married. I don't have any rights to just pop up on their lives as if nothing cruel happened.”
I nodded continuously. “Now I get it.”
“I heard my child's cry, yesterday...”
A small smile appeared from my lips. I can't imagine Boss, totally losing his smile. For now, I'll do everything to make him smile, even if it means, guarding his woman and child while giving him informations about them. That's what a real... friend... can do.
The next morning, I was shock to see Sanzu jogging on the hospital hallway as if he wasn't shoot on his knee. My jaw almost fell to the ground when I saw him slap a nurse's ass who happens to be patroling every morning. The poor nurse screamed in horror because of what he did.
“Nice ass babe!” he shouted and even giggled.
I fastly grab his collar and drag him towards his own room.
He kept on grinning like an idiot while staring at my face. “What now Nana? Do you want me to slap your ass too?”
“Cut the bullshit, bastard. Stop running around on hallways especially if it's in the morning, you idiot! Patients are having their own walks so you better fucking behave! Got that?!” I asked loudly but the fucker just grinned widely.
I was surprised when he touch my arms and gently glide it down to my hips. This crazy bastard!
I fastly let go of his collar and walked away. He's really a jerk, no doubt!
On my way to my brother's room, I saw Boss Mikey struggling to reach the takoyaki on the side table.
“Let me do it, boss.” I exclaimed and reach for the takoyaki's before giving them to him.
He fastly ate one of them. While munching the food, he suddenly stop.
“What's the matter, boss? Want some water?” I asked.
“Oh... I just remembered that I gave Y/N my takoyaki's the first time we met.” he said while resuming on eating his food.
“That's great boss.”
“Yeah, really great.”
We felt silent for seconds. Later on he spoke again. “Oi Nana.”
“What is it boss?”
He sighed first before opening his mouth. “How can you tell if you truly love a person?”
Is he fucking serious?
“I... I don't know too. But my friends kept on talking about their love ones.”
“You have friends?”
“Mmm, from Lucban, Quezon. One of my dabarkads told me that when you love a person, your heart will thump like crazy, your heart will be filled with joy and excitement whenever you see them. You get crazy jealous and angry when they're with someone else, and you miss them everyday.”
He just look at me and nodded. After that, he continued eating his takoyakis as if nothing happened. But it looks like he can't focus anymore.
Is he in love? Maybe yes or maybe no. No one can't tell, except for him.
Well, Y/N is worth the shot.
