"I need to see this guy..

And I WANT TO BE CURED"

"don't worry you'll soon be cured" a voice coming from the door said. "and I'm already here. What else do you need?" the person by the door said as he made his way towards Aira.

Aira's jaw dropped on the scene she's seeing now. She blinked a couple of times before realizing that what she's seeing now is actually happening and not some sort of imagination.

"h-how?" she asked.

"i've always been watching you..."

Aira wanted to call out that person's name but no words escape her mouth.

"following you, and eventually... I started liking you." that person was walking toward Aira's bed. Aira can feel her heart beat faster than usual and her brain was bursting with a lot pf questions that she can't voice out.

A smile suddenly formed Aira's face. "i really miss you." the person by the door said.

Aira got up from her bed and walked toward that person. "I missed you too Kazu" she said as she hugged him.

"Ninomiya Kazunari at your service" Nino said as he hugged her back.

The park at the back of the hospital was field with patients-- kids playing with other kids while their parents are watching them, middle aged man/woman that is being sentimental, some paralyzed guy/girl with their nurses and at some point of that park you can hear two people laughing and you can also see that they have some sort of relationship.

Nino was laying on Aira's lap while Aira was gently combing his hair. A lot of notebooks, papers and pencil were scattered on their blanket.

Nino suddenly thought... 'She called me Kazu' that's why he sat down and faced Aira.

"how did you know my name?" Nino asked.

"i've read my journals. Im so happy that finally I found you--ah! Uhm. Kazu why did you leave?"

"let me get this straight. I did not left you."

"then what happened?!" Aira was getting confused since she can't remember anything.

"I....I don't know either..." Nino said looking down. "Now is what matters. You don't have to worry about anything. Now that I'm here. Please don't worry I'll never leave you. I promise." this time, Nino said it while looking into Aira's eyes and Aira can see that he is really sincere.

"I believe you." Aira smiled, the most warm smile one can see.

"Mari" a woman wearing white called her. "can I have a moment?" the woman gestured Mari to come inside the office, the office of Aira's doctor.

Mari went inside and saw two new faces. "is there anything you need?" Mari asked.

"there's something we would like to discuss with you"

"it's about Aira's condition"

After a few minutes Mari went out that room. She was half shaking and her face seemed pale. She can't walk straight that's why she held onto the railings connected to the wall to support her. Then an old-couple spotted her.

"Mari?" the wife said as they ran towards her. "are you okay? What happend?" thewife was panicking, fearing something bad might've happend to their daughter, Aira.

They sat down to the nearest bench and handed a bottle of water to Mari.

"tell us is something wrong?" Aira's mom asked.

Mari just shaked her head. "in fact something good will happen"
