Rewrite the Stars

Chapter 4

Masato's POV

I wake up. I felt thirsty. I saw a glass of water and I drank it all. I was in the hospital. I looked around . No one was here.
I checked my things. My laptop was here but my phone was not in my attaché case. Oh I forgot it again in my suite.
I was hit by a car yesterday. I was walking and suddenly a car bumped me. I still remember the plate number.  My anger rises up when I think all of these.
The door opened. A woman with a short hair appeared. She was wearing a creme coat and a boots. Underneath her coat is a white dress. Her hair is not in the right direction really. Maybe because of the hood of her coat. She wiped her head and gave something to me. I guess she is a Filipino.
"Who are you?"
" hmmm... Nothing. I just gave you this and your phone. "
" why do you have my phone?"
"You need it."
"You didn't answer my question."
"I'm going"
The woman suddenly went out. I checked my phone.
I called Suri.
"Hello sir?"
" Suri,I was in the hospital. Would you come over and check my accounts if how much would I pay?"
"Yes sir."
"And also,how was  the meeting yesterday? I was not able to attend it because I was in an accident."
"Really? Sir, I thought you just caught a cold."
"Please hurry."
I ended the call before I informed her what hospital I am in. This is not really a good hospital.
I checked my leg.
A bandage in my knee. I have a wheelchair.
I remember the woman who just came in.
"Who's that?"
Suri came in.
" Sir,what did you do?"
" I was walking yesterday and  that car bumped me."
"I'll call the doctor."
The doctor came in.
" Good afternoon,Mr. Watanabe."
" What's my condition?"
" You have broken knee so you can hardly stand by your own feet and some bruises."
" oh shit."
" Please stay and take a rest for two weeks to fully recovered your condition sir."
" how would I work if that the case?"
" sir,you are advised to take a rest so don't worry about your work."  Suri said.
" thank you Doctor."
"By the way,who sent me here?"
" It's Ms. Yuan Chavez ,sir. She's a Filipino."
Yuan.
" Suri-san,please talk to the police in that street. I would like to talk to him regarding this case. I want someone will be in prison because of what happen."
Tumango lang ang secretary niya.
"And also,please go to my penthouse and ask for the copy of the CCTV in my room. I need it."
"Okay sir."
Umalis na ang secretary niya.
Naiwan siyang tahimik at nag-iisip.
I checked my email.
Someone is using my email 5 hours ago.

I called Suri.
"Did I send you an email?"
" yes sir,informing me that you can't come to the office tomorrow and the following days."
"I didn't send you an email, Suri-san."
"What?"
"Yes."

Yuan's POV

I am in my room right now.
"Nakalimutan na niya ako."
Biglang tumulo ang luha ko.
Akala ko hindi ako iiyak.Akala ko malakas ako para sa ganong bagay.Pero hindi pala. Pinahid ko ang luha ko.
"Makalimutan ko rin siya."
I got up.
I remember when he sat on my couch and lean his head on my shoulder.
"Ahhggh..makauwi na nga."
I decided to go back to the Philippines early. I don't like to stay here and be in pain again.

There was a knock on my door.

" Ms. Yuan Chavez,our boss is looking for you."
" who?"
"Masato Watanabe."
"I'll go."
Nagbihis muna ako saglit. I wore a cotton dress na hanggang sa tuhod. I put my jacket and I go out.
" Why he needs me?"
" Do you know our boss?"
" I know a little. "
" when you see him later,answer him honestly. He doesn't like liar people."
" and?"
" please don't cry!"
" okay."

I sleep while we are on our way.
I am excited to see him again and at the same time nervous of what will happen.

" we're here."
It is a mansion. Ito yung nasa picture sa laptop niya. Sabi niya ayaw niya ng ganito.

" get inside."
I got inside. The living room is too big. May elevator sa bandang kanan.
" Please come,Ms. Chavez."
Pumasok kami sa isang kwarto. Parang kwarto ng hari. It was very elegant and speaks with luxury.

" sir,Ms. Chavez is here already."
I was thinking why in his room we need to talk. Its okay in the living or in his study room. Para ipamukha sa akin na masyado siyang mayaman para e reject?

Lumabas ito mula sa kung saan. He was using a stick to stand.
" you can get out now." wika nito sa kasama ko.
Kinabahan ako. I'm not that brave when it comes to men. Naku, nakakatakot yung lahi nila.
" why you called me?"
" You entered in my penthouse without my consent. You make a lie to my guards there that you are my fiancee. Why you get my phone in my room?"
" Because you need it."
" why you use my email ?"
" you need it too. You are a CEO ,you have people who needs to know where you are going. I made it because I think it's right and its part of my help."
" Why you help me,which in fact you are Filipino,and you should not interfere to get out from trouble."
" because I believe not only my countrymen needs my help that time. My help doesn't limit what race or nationality of a person. I help you because you need it. You should be thankful for what I have done."
" I will send my payment to your account. Before you leave , give you account number to my secretary. "
" no thanks. It's part of my help. It's only a cent. Are you paying me so that you don't have any gratitude towards me? It's okay.. Don't bother. I'm rich and I can still earn that money I used for your hospital bills. When someone helped you,it doesn't need money,your thank you is enough to repay your kindness. I'm happy to meet you."
Pagkasabi non ay lumabas na ako.
Lahat ng katiwala niya ay nakatingin sa akin.
" Please take care of him. He needs you right now. I'm going."
Lumabas na siya sa kabahayan nito.
Wow. Yuan,you really say it.
Ipamukha talaga sa akin na lahat mababayaran niya ng pera. Ang kapal din naman ng konsensya nito.

Bumalik na ako sa hotel. Mamayang alas 9 ng gabi ang flight ko pabalik ng Pilipinas.
Kailangan ko pang maghanda sa mga gamit ko.
