Dr. HEART STEALER

#3: A Marriage Won't Happen

Student Council Office

"Love problem?", the entire student council looked at Charlotte Pudding. 

Charlotte Pudding, she's known as the daughter of a famous chocolatier. Her parents signed her name as collateral for signing business contracts. A third-year student. She's currently the Vice President of the cooking club.

She sat on the couch. Airi served her tea.

"I don't want to get married", Pudding covered her face and sobbed. Luffy jumped out from his chair. "I know what you feel", Luffy seemed to recall something. "Really? You?", Nami, Ussop, and Chopper said with poker faces. "What's happening here?", Carrot opened the door.

"Well, you see. My mother is a huge fan of food. She made acquaintance with a restaurant and so.....", Pudding gave the details. "If I were to marry someone. I would like it to be...", Pudding erupted when Sanji's smiling face flashed in her mind. "Basically, you wanted to decline the marriage because you like someone else. At the same time, you are scared of your mother", Airi summarized and read it from her notepad.

"Uhm, Uhm, Mama is really scary when she gets angry", Pudding held onto her hands. "I know what you feel", Luffy repeated. "Thank you, President. I'm glad I came here", Pudding whined. Airi looked at Luffy giving some advice. She's unable to hear it because something else is bugging her. "Why don't you stay here for lunch? Sanji's coming", Luffy invited.

"Sanji?", Pudding turned into a red beet as soon as she heard the name.

"I fear Luffy is going to make us face something unbearable again", Nami leaned on Airi's shoulder. "We just have to put up with it. He's the president after all", Airi gave a weak smile. "I'm just so glad you're here with us!", Nami whined and complained about all that Luffy did during the first year of him being in the student council. Nami and the group had been with Luffy since middle high.

Clinic

"Sensei", Airi opened the door and saw Trafalgar talking to Shirahoshi regarding her heart disease. "Oh, Vice president. Are you here to take a short nap again?", Shirahoshi smiled. The bubbly girl hugged her as soon as she entered. "I'm not done talking yet", Trafalgar sighed. "It's okay sensei. I already heard that from my doctor before", Shirahoshi narrated to Airi her adventure in the nearby forest. "Good for you then", Airi nodded. "I'll be collecting bugs with the BUG club", Shirahoshi excused herself and left.

"Brats nowadays", Trafalgar clicked his tongue. "Just let her be. She doesn't go out as often as she wants to", Airi opened a cabinet and saw that the medicines are no longer there. "Where is the pain reliever?", Airi said under her breath. "Your tolerance with that drug will go stronger if you keep taking it. Why don't you go to the hospital and get proper treatment?", Trafalgar crossed his arms as he sat on the chair. "It's just a waste of time", Airi stood properly and looked at him.

"At your age, you should be cautious with your monthly-", Trafalgar was about to continue it but Airi's expression changed. "Don't say it so casually", she said slightly raising her voice. "Anyways, if you're feeling muscle cramps. There's a heating pad on that side", Trafalgar pointed. Airi marched towards the side and grabbed the heating pad."It's already warm", she in her surprise. She looked back at Trafalgar writing on someone's clinic report.

What's this? I feel so... dizzy.

Airi felt warm and slowly opened her eyes. She looked at the clinic ceiling. "Your body is weak", he heard a comment from someone. She sat down and saw the man eating a rice ball. "I missed my class. Why didn't you wake me up?", she removed the blanket and saw the heating pad on top of her stomach. "You're not well. I'll be calling your parents. Give me their phone number. There's no contact information from your form", Trafalgar got his phone from his pocket.
