After two days, he checked out of the hospital, and I lost hope of seeing him ever again. I pondered since when did I started to look forward on meeting him. Ugh! Why did I even hoped to see him after that? Hinata, you have to remember that you live in reality. Not a shoujo manga. I kept yelling those thoughts in my head.
Four months have passed, my health since then was like a roller coaster ride. I'll be okay for a moment and dying the next; however, it has been much worse lately. I had headaches, I'm immobilized, and lost weight rapidly. That raised alarms to my doctors and my family. After they did the tests, we were told that we had to wait for a few weeks for the results.
Time really does pass by fast. It has been three months since we received the terrible news. The cancer cells are spreading quicker and it stopped reacting to my treatments. Therefore, the hope of living through this is now nonexistent. I begged my father to let me live the rest of my life like a normal teenager, but I knew that I'm far from having a normal life.
"Not yet, Hinata, but I'm going to think about what you said", father said with hesitation.
"Domo arigato gozaimashita for the consideration, otou-san."
Another three months passed when father decided to let me go home, and get taken care there by a private doctor and nurse. Otou-san checked me out of the hospital and was brought home. I hadn't been home for almost a year and forgotten that our home is bigger than the other average houses. I never liked it because of its size, although I did missed it. Okaa-san, Hanabi, Neji-nii-san and the maids were there. I then realized that I will never miss the odors and noises of the hospital.
"Welcome home, nee-san. I missed you." Hanabi said as she hugged me; my mother and nii-san said the same. Although they're happy that I'm home, I can see sadness in their eyes. I tried to not to notice their true feelings, instead I looked forward to the days ahead.
I wanted to return to school as soon as possible, but the school was currently in break. I'm nervous to return to high school as a freshman once again. Good news is that I'll be going to nii-san's school, the elite Konoha High School. What will this new year bring for me? Will I be able to enjoy it and live long enough to graduate? Please, Kami-sama, let me have a normal life.
To my readers, sorry for the late update, and for the slow development of the story. I suffered from a writer's block this past weeks. Ah, well, please keep following Hinata's life on the next chapters. Thank you for the support so far.
