Chapter 1
I was walking on the street of one of the place in Shiga Prefecture in Japan. It was cold and not busy day that time. There are few people walking the down the wide road.
I was scanning my phone to check if there are unread emails. Suddenly,a sound of car brakes made not too far from my position. I looked at the direction towards the car. A man was lying on the floor of the road. The car turned and left the man unconscious. I was confused whether to go near or leave too. Some people passed by and never made any glance. My heart beats so fast. My feet began to move and walked to the man. He was covered with blood. His eyes were closed and arms were on each side. His winter jacket was slightly open. I bent my knees and checked his pulse. I looked for any things that could tell his identity.
In his coat,I found a calling card. Masato Watanabe, Chief Executive Officer, Healthy United Enterprises.
I called an ambulance. After a couple of minutes,they arrived.
" I found him lying here,please let him live." I told them as they went away.
I went straight to the hotel where I am staying.
A call from unknown number happened.
" Hello?"
" This is Shiga Medical Hospital. May we speak to Ms. Yuan Julyenne Chavez?"
" Speaking. How may I help you?"
" The police officer used your name as the patient's guardian."
Oh crap.
" Who's patient you're referring to?"
" Masato Watanabe,Ma'am."
I got my coat again and went out from the building. My planned to eat beef was nowhere into sight. I headed to the hospital.
I used my car to arrive there immediately.
I approached the front desk officer.
" Masato Watanabe"
" room 57,ma'am. Floor 5th."
" Thank you."
I rode in the elevator.
I am Yuan Julyenne Chavez. I'm in Japan for business conference. I owned a top-grossing language school in the Philippines.
I knocked the door twice before I opened.
" I'm Yuan Julyenne Chavez. "
" thank you for coming ma'am."
" I ,honestly, am a concerned citizen. I saw him---"
The patient opened his eyes and directly gazed my direction.
" Who are you? Where am I?"
The doctor smiled.
" Earlier today ,you were bumped by a car and left unconsciously. "
" who am I ?"
" You don't know?"I asked him.
He looked at me. His eyes went into my veins.
" Who are you?"
" you owe me 20,000,000¥." I smiled.
" What?"" He experienced a selective amnesia. He might regain his memory in a couple of months or a year. For now,what we can do is let him rest and help him remember important things. Do you know his family?"
" I don't know. "
" Did he not bring any documents before? "
" When I found him,an attaché case only was only his belongings."
" Maybe we can find some clues about his family using those things."
" yeah great idea but I don't have time either. I only stay here for three weeks. After that I'll go back to the Philippines. "
" So do it as fast as you could."
The doctor left. I stayed in his room for quite some time.
" Don't you remember anything? " I told him. He turned his eyes to me.
" if I can ,I would never stayed here long."
He has serious face that almost a decade laughter leave him. He is a CEO.
" I am Filipino."
" And then?"
" I guess you can manage yourself,if you need anything,just call the nurse,I'm leaving." I feel bad hearing all his sarcastic tone. It pissed me off.
" Why do you help me,are you the reason why I'm here today?"
" I'm sorry. I help you not because I was the one bumped you. I was walking earlier,to look around when I found you. You should be grateful because I helped you. "
He was silent.
" I don't know if you have money so I pay your bills. You can return the money after you recalled your memories. "
" Don't leave me. Stay."
" What? "
" I'm not sure if I have family. For the time being,be my family. I'm begging you. I'm sorry for accusing you. I didn't mean it. "
" I can't stay here for long. I have business too."
" I will pay you after I remember."My heart tightened when I heard it. I'm not that bad at all.
" Do you know what's my name?"
He asked me. His eyes were in pain.
" Masato Watanabe. "
" What do you think of my means of living?"
" You're a CEO in Healthy United Enterprises."
"Where did you get this information?"
" I got a calling card. "
" from where?"
" in your jacket."
" ahh okay."
He closed his eyes.
I fixed his blanket and stayed for another couple of minutes.
" what's your name? "
" I'm Yuan Julyenne Chavez. "
" What do you do for a living?"
" I'm a school owner."
" that's great."
" You can speak English well. "
" Yeah I've studied English in the Philippines for quite some time."
" really?"
" yes. It's a good experience."
" But you remember things from your past already."
He was silent.
" only that. "
I got my phone and checked my email. There's a mail from one of my teachers.
"You can leave me and do your work. Just be back."
He said it while closed eyes.
" Do you think you can manage?"
" yes. I can. It's getting late."
"Are you hungry?"
He shakes his head. He has beautiful pairs of eyes.
" I'm not. "
" I'm hungry. I'll go out and buy some to eat. Wait for me."
I got my coat.
Oh geez.
I went out immediately. My heart beats abnormally. I don't know why. It's my first time to feel this way and to a stranger. I was known to be the strict and serious CEO in my school. I'm 29 years old and I don't have plan to find for the man who will I be spending for the rest of my life. Oh c'mon. It's just one day and I was out of my mind already.. This is ridiculous. Julyenne.
Focus on your school and nothing else.I reached the ground floor and got out from the building. I crossed the road and went to a cafe shop.
" May I have one cappuccino,green tea and two slice of this cake."
The staff prepared my order and I paid the amount.I went back to his room. I opened the door and I found him trying to get up from the bed.
" Where are you going?"
I helped him.
" I want to go to the restroom. My bruises are painful. I can't even walk. Oh I don't want to be like this."
" it's okay. I'm here to help you."
" Yuan,stop acting like you care."
No one called me this name but only him. I looked at him intently. He was holding my arms.
I smiled.
" I didn't use to care other people. It's odd for me too."
" I want to go to the restroom. "
I helped him to walk.
He looked at me.
" Take your time. I'm waiting for you."
To balance,he was holding the wall and closed the door after.Two minutes passed by. The door opened.
" I'm doomed to die." His look was in pain. I extended my hand for him.
" Thank you."
" Don't mention it."
I brought him back to his bed.
" By the way,I brought you tea."
He drank it.
The door opened and the doctor get inside.
" Mr. Watanabe,how are you feeling?"
"My bruise are terrible. I can't walk either. I can't remember my family and even myself."
" You have selective amnesia. Before the accident happen,maybe there were bad happenings between you and your family that is why this area was forgotten. Don't worry,it will come in the right time."
" How many days will I stay here?"
" You can go out tomorrow morning."After the discussion,the doctor went out.
" I don't know where would I stay."
" You can stay in my place for the meantime. I'm your guardian now. "
" Do I have things when I fell out?"
" yes. " I got the attache case and gave it to him. He opened it. He lay down his back on the headboard.
There was a laptop.
"How to use this?"
I laughed.
"Don't laugh at me. You're killing me." He said.
