Chapter 24- I lied (Flashback #1)

Misaki Haruka's P.O.V.

"I lied." When I finally said it, everybody had the same reaction. Confused, baffled, and pondered.

This is my truth. Yes that's right, Miyazono Kaori was here all along. It all started 3 years ago in that cold, winter night a halfway across the world.

~~~~~"""""~~~~~

I woke up with my swollen eyes and I saw a flash of light which made me blink. 'Where am I?' I asked myself. This is not the same hospital I went through before. The ceiling was sky blue, and the room was wider. Not to mention, there are more laboratory equipment surrounding the room.

That's when I knew that I wasn't in my hospital anymore. I suddenly felt homesick for a moment. I felt like I just lost something. I couldn't move by this time because I have a dextrose. All I can do was lie down, stare at the blue ceiling, and imagine.

I closed my eyes once again without thinking about anything else. The flashback started. I was in My hospital, took my surgery but it wasn't successful. The doctors suddenly panicked knowing that my life was 50-50 after i took the failed surgery. With that, I heard my parents sobbing outside the window, still hoping that I would be alive, yet at that moment, I already knew it was all over.

Then, why am I here? Is this a dream? There's no way I could be alive. No way.

I suddenly heard the door opening. I continued closing my eyes and pretended that I was still asleep. I heard the footsteps walking towards me and some sheet of papers. "Hmm, Miyazono Kaori. Bone cancer treatment for $100,000 , fully paid." I was shocked when I heard a man's voice. He just spoke English, and what was that $100,000 he just mentioned? Is it a debt?

With that voice fully heard by my ears, I knew for second that this wasn't a dream. I, Miyazono Kaori is still alive.

More people walked in the room. I could tell by the footsteps. But who is it now? Could it be oto-san and oka-san? "How was it, Doc." A female voice spoke in English, with a different accent. This isn't oka-san. Somehow the voice looks like a young person, about my age.

"It was good. Now all we need to do is wait for her to wake up so we could settle things up. Her bone cancer was severe, but fortunately, the new treatment for this kind of cancer worked for her. And now she can stay longer. Though, I would give some prescriptions and those will serve as her lifetime medicine. All she needs is maintenance." The girl sighed deeply feeling a sense of relaxation.

"Alright then, I'll just get the list at the x-ray room. You guys can wait for me here." The doctor finally dismissed the room while the girl and another person was left in the room.

"I'm glad this was successful. we didn't squandered any time at all. I knew we could trust America." another male voice spoke in Japanese. but wait, what is he talking about? America? we're here in america? then who am i with and how the hell did I travel this far?

I clenched my fist underneath the white blanket  searching for answers. it still doesn't make any sense.

"Neh, Onii-chan, do you think this would turn about fine after all? Honestly speaking, I felt a bit guilty about this." the female voice began to speak once again.

"Why are you telling such pointless things? haven't we talked about this with oto-sama recently? He even agreed. We all did, which means we have a full support with our plan. After all, this is our only chance to be with Miyazono Kaori, so don't waste this glorious opportunity. you knew how we struggled to find her."  the male voice replied. "After all, she was our inspiration. The great young violinist, Miyazono Kaori whom invaded the stage's atmosphere with such passion, is now right here in front of us." He added with a monotone voice fulfilling his words

"I know but, aren't be being selfish about this? And I was still wondering how will people react in Japan when they learned about Miyazono-san's condition. they might bash us or anything that might ruin our reputation."

"Ooh please,  just think of it as a surprise for everyone. Besides, her family is still in-monitor right? So not to worry. With convincing powers and reasoning, we could solve things out. "

"and what if she awakes?" he posted for a moment, thinking about an answer.

"If she awakes, then we'll have to keep her here in America for a while so we could at least have time for her. Come on, let's just wait for Doc outside." I heard their footsteps moving away and they finally left the room. There's no way I could stay in America with people i'm just about to meet. Right now, i'm all alone again. I guess, this is a perfect time to think.

With that conversation a while ago, I drew a conclusion. The two siblings who went inside the room took me here in America with my parents unaware of it. They knew about me being a violinist and they seem to be really fond of me which made them move when they learned about my condition back in Japan. They were able to do it easily maybe because they're family are wealthy ones, which makes pretty sense why they were able to pay for my treatment that costed $100,000. This maybe true or not by any chance, but I do hope that my instincts are correctly patterned.

Also, i need to think of a plan how will I get out of here which I find quite tricky. I don't want to stay here in America. However at my second thought, I knew having a plan is useless. It's impossible to go back with this state after all. Unless, I found a golden opportunity. As long as there's ways, I would go for it. I wanted to see everyone after all, Especially Arima-kun. I wanted to go back to Japan so badly and play the violin once again.

Though, i'm just glad that my bones can now freely move. After all this, I also had one realization. I envy rich people for having such easy lives.

After how many minutes, The Doctor went in the room once again but this time, he has someone with him. It must be a woman since I could hear the sounds of a high-heeled shoes. "Say, Dr. Evans, aren't you a bit worried about the patient's state" she spoke in a British accent. she must be somewhere from Europe, and I must guess that she's the nurse.

"No, not at all. I could say that the treatment was 85% successful."

"Then, aren't you worrying about the remaining 15%?" there was a long silence after that. "Fine, i'll admit it. I'm just worried about one thing." I could sense he's casting shadow in front of me as he walked towards me.

"Because of that severe bone cancer, there's a 65% chance that her nervous system might have reset, which results to the fearful nervous disease. 'Amnesia'. Also, her appearance is a bit deformed which makes her identity a bit unrecognizable. Although i must say this can revert with much time."

"Exactly my thought, Doc." Amnesia. that had my third thought which made me relieved even just a bit, not because I never had that disease in me, but because God just granted me an opportunity.

'I Miyazono Kaori, can remember everything. What a miracle.'

I thank fate. That i'm still here on earth, alive, That I was given a second chance, and that i will finally correct all my mistakes in the past. But now is not a perfect time to reminisce. At this very moment, I will now take my first step as a reborn Miyazono, Kaori.
