Epilogue Thirty-Five: Tragedy (One Part)

Kotoko was unconsciously bleeding down the stairs.

I saw her... with my very own eyes... she's bleeding. A shock went straight to me. My mind was left blank. I couldn't think for a moment... nor can't my genius brain even know what I am supposed to do. It's her... it's her... it's Kotoko on the line! She's...

I got a quick snapped of it... I quickly got the way to her. My entire being was shaking... I have to take her to the hospital.

"Kotoko!" I held her in my arms, my voice sounded too desperate... and then I know for sure... her blood is real. "Kotoko, can you hear me?!" I called her again, hoping that she would open her eyes for a moment. "Kotoko! Get hold of yourself!" I shook her... and her breathing was so slow. It worried me to death. I looked at the stairs, "Mom! Yuki! Oto-san!" I called them as loud as I could. My voice cracked. "Help me take Kotoko to the hospital! Get ready for the car!" I told them until I heard them got panic when they got out of their own room.

"Ni-chan! W-what happened?" Yuki tried to ask but when he saw I was turning crazy, he took a step back. He tried not to waste time. "I will ready the car!" he quickly got a snap of it. He ran immediately to the garage.

I did everything as I could as a doctor. I did the first precaution on her. Her head was badly hurt. And now she's losing too much blood. Shit... I feel like I am not doing the right way, that my expertise is not to save her! Damn! I became a doctor for her! I can't fail it now!

"Ni-chan?!" Mom's loud freaking noise scared the hell out of me. "W-what...." she froze into ice when she saw who I'm carrying in my arms. "Will Kotoko will be alright?" she sounded as if she bet her life on it. I answered when I quickly got my pace to the door where Yuki was waiting outside, "I will call later. Please look for Kotomi, Mom. Don't leave her." I told her as fast as I could.

"She was badly hurt in her condition, Irie-san." Dr. Nishigaki is the one who responded to her when he got to the hospital. "But I'm glad you were so calm to think things clearly, not minding that it's your wife who's on the line," he said when he got out of the emergency room. "For now, she's stable but I can't guarantee you that she'll be fine. If you could look at the result, you know that she's really fallen into a bad situation."

I sighed not to release the frustration... I sighed because I'm wishing that this was only a dream.... or some kind of nightmare that I have to wake up.

Dr. Nishigaki sensei tapped me, "Let's get hope for it. She's Kotoko. She won't leave you alone. She'll be fine." he encouraged me, "If you can get the hell out of it, you can join us to discuss her condition. We all know that she has a rare eye disease and... her head had some kind of dangerous fractures, and we'll never know when she would wake up."

I nodded, "I'll join you later." ...was all I could say.

"Nishigaki-sensei! Irie-sensei!" Nurse Shimizu got out of the emergency room and... she brought tragic news, "I need you two here now! Irie Kotoko-san wa... is losing!" she freaked out and I quickly got myself ran into the emergency room... eyes scanned to my dear wife while the monitoring system gradually gave an error... no way... no way she could lose just like that. No freaking way.
