-Chapter 13-
Another weeks had passed since Kei woken up from his long sleep. He had been having hard days and times, with his rehabilitation after his comatose. Yeah, we cannot avoid it. He had been lying on the bed for months and he was still very weak. He need to be able to adapt with his new ‘heart’. He cannot do anything hard for some time and cannot force him to recover so fast.
He still need so much time… to be able to go back to his normal self.
Everyday after college, I always spend my time in the hospital to accompany Kei. Yeah, I still need to go to college to finish my study. Every spare time I got, I always spend it in the hospital to see how much progress Kei had gotten. And everyday, I can see how much effort Kei put into his rehabilitation and for his recovery. I can see that much, that he really want to see the outside world as soon as possible.
**
It was a peaceful Saturday. I spent my Friday night in the hospital, accompany Kei, lying on his side on his bed, watching him closing his eyes until he open them up again in the morning.
I cannot describe how peaceful this is to my heart, finally being able to watch him open up his eyes everytime the morning comes. Watching him smiling along with the peeking sun from the window. Watching him asking the good morning kiss everytime he opened up his eyes.
And then everytime he did that, I always do this one thing. I stretched up my hand, and hug him, buried him with the warmth of my embrace, showering him with my kisses and love.
It’s just normal.. since we are lover.. and we had been parted by that long sleep of Kei.
It’s all because of Hikaru that we can still feel the feeling of love right now.. and everyday onwards.
Yeah… it’s because of HIkaru that we could still feel this peaceful Saturday.
“Good morning, Kei.” I greeted him when his eyes slowly fluttered open. He narrowed his eyes to see my face close to his and smiled.
Before he asked for it, I already leaned closer to him and kiss him fully on the lips.
“I love you Kei.”
“Hmmm.” Inoo happily nodded.
“Where’s the’ I love you too Kou’ Kei-chan?”
“No need.” He smirked and now is his chance to kiss me on the lips. Yes, he now already be able to move his hand and body, only he was still too weak.
“Naughty boyfriend.” I complained.
“Don’t care~~~” And then he buried himself under the blanket and snuggle close to me..
“Hahaha….” I chuckled and brought him to my chest, and I affectionately caressing hi head.
“Tell me if you are ready to get up, ‘kay.” I told him.
“I still.. don’t want to.”
“You’re not hungry?”
“Not yet…”
“Okay then…”
“Hmm… I want to stay like this for a while Kou… cuddling like this.” He breathed.
And then we stayed like that for a while.
“Kou…. I am… grateful.” He suddenly whispered. “I am grateful… that I am still able to breathe, still able to feel the pulse throught out my body… I am grateful.. that I am still alive.
“I want to know who the donor is.. I want to thank whoever he or she is. I want to tell him that I cannot say how much I felt grateful to him, for giving me the second chance to live.. to give me the second chance to being embraced with love like this…
“I want to thank him…. Deep from my heart…..” He clutched the clothes on my chest, showing me that he was very emotional about this. Telling me that he was really serious about what he said. That he really want to know and thank to his savior.
You already know him very well, Kei….
I closed my eyes, preventing the water from gathering in the tip of my eyes.
“I do too Kei… I want to thank him, deep from my heart…” I cupped his face and brought his face closer to mine.
“I want to tell him.. how much I thank him.. I want him to know how much happiness he gave me.. I want to thank him.. for giving me such chances to always being able to see you smile like this, breathe happily like this, to be able to feel the warmth from your body… I want to thank him.. for giving me the chance… to see you living your life to the fullest….”
Yeah thank you Hikaru….. I wanted to thank you… personally….
And without me realizing it, the water already gathered in my eyes and fell one by one. Kei seeing me like this also joined me.
“I want to thank him… for giving me the chance to being loved like this….” Kei whispered.
Yeah… Hikaru… thank you…….
I hug Kei’s head and brought his head to my chest, embracing it..
“Let’s thank you… to whoever he or she is.. for giving us happiness like this…”
“Un….”
And then we stayed like that for a while, embracing each other, sharing warmth to each other.. sharing the happiness Hikaru gave us…..
“Nee Kou-chan… last night I dream about Hikaru.” Kei out of sudden told me, and I freeze.
Well.. I know that this topic will be up soon. I already have myself prepared when he finally talked about Hikaru. But.. why now? After we talking about the donor???
“What is it in your dream?” I asked him casually, hiding my nervousness.
“I dreamt.. about when we spent our time together in the field…. And really, where is he??? Why he never come to hospital?? Doesn’t he miss me?? Becaue I miss him!” Kei complained.
I gulped. Even if I am already prepared for the time like this, I cannot help but feeling nervous. I’m afraid that I cannot convince him with the lie.
“Hikaru.. well… did you even know how long you sleep Kei?”
“Well.. I know it’s long.”
“And in that long time… Hikaru was able to capture his dream.” I smiled telling him.
“Eh?”
“He always been dreaming about studying overseas, and finally he was able to make it! Don’t you think it’s great????”
“Maji??? He got a scholarship oversea??? Whoaaaa sugoi!!”
“He doesn’t look like it, does he? Someone who was so eager to get scholarship oversea?”
“Yeah he really doesn’t look like it! He always look so lazy and unmotivated… but I know that he was a fast learner and he liked to study in the spare time.. I saw him like that once.” Kei’s eyes were brimming with awe saying that.
At least… Kei was convinced.
“It’s good then…. If he was able to get what he’s been dreaming of..”
Yeah.. he was able to get what he’s dreaming of… to be able to save the life he love.
“Demo ne… I miss.. Hikaru….” Kei said again.
“It’s kinda lonely here… I miss Hikaru’s carefree laugh….. Moreover.. I cannot bid him goodbye because he went there when I was sleeping.. at least.. I want to tell him good luck…” Kei pouted.
“He was also sent you his deepest apologize for leaving when you were sleeping.. he also wanted to see you open your eyes before he left, but well.. I guess it was still not the time.” I reasoned.
“Hmmm… if I think about it.. in the dream Hikaru also said… ‘take care, be happy’… maybe he was sending me his message from the dream?” Kei giggled.
“You watched fantasy too much, Kei.” I giggled along with him. Deep inside… I also think that Hikaru was sending out his message to Kei.. through his dream… Hika…
“Maa ne.. I hope Hikaru does his best there…. I hope he will always be happy like he did here, and I hope he won’t forget about us!”
He’s happy in there Kei… because… you are able to smile like this…
He also.. won’ forget about us.. because he love you so much….
I tightened my embrace which made Kei questioning my action.
“Kou?”
“I do miss him too…. Kei….”
“Kou….. yes.. let’s just hope the best for him…”
“Unn…..”

A year and a half already passed since the day Kei opened his eyes.
Now he was already got the permission to go back to his home.. and live normally. He already recover from his sickness, and he already be able to live like he was used to. But now, he didn’t have to worry about the sickness again, since he already had a stronger ‘heart’.
Since he is already healthier and stronger than he used to be, he decided to continue his study that had been stopped. He wanted to be able to enter university like the other do, so he now study hard for the university exams. He was also start writing another novel.. and now the theme of his novel is more lively, not as depressing as the first one.
I also already enter my last year of university, I have to struggle with thesis and all. Which means I cannot be with Kei as much as I wanted to. But thankfully, Kei could understand that, since he was also so busy with his study.
And today.. yeah, today is the day I meet with Kei.
I went to his house straight from my university. His study time should have been over by now, so when I arrived at his house, he probably was doing some painting.. or playing the piano. Well, either way.. I love seeing him like that. I love seeing Kei absorbed with whatever he did.
When I arrived at his house, I went straight to his room. Well, his house already felt like my own, because I used to visit there everyday.. before my last year of university start. I opened up his room and he is not inside. Well, maybe my guess is right, he might be playing piano or painting on the yard. But I didn’t hear any music in here, so I went straight to the yard to check on him.
But when I arrived there, he’s also nowhere.
I went back inside the house and checked on him everywhere. I asked the maid where he is but no one know his location. Mr and Mrs Inoo was also out that day so I couldn’t ask them.
And now I really am panic. I didn’t know where he gone. I made sure I already asked all the maid but no one saw him. How could it be like this?? How could nobody see him??
And finally someone answered me that Kei went to the forest behind his house… alone.
I ran at full speed to catch him. He must be heading to the pond.. but he cannot be left alone since he was aware that his body is stronger than before.. he might do anything reckless and use his body to its limit.
Yeah, now that he was aware that his body is stronger than before, he liked to push his body to its limit. He did everything he could, he ran anywhere he wanted, just like a child that had just able to walk on his own. That’s why he couldn’t be left alone.
I have finally arrived on the pond side, and it was right, he is there, sitting on the edge of the dock.
I approach him abruptly, informing that I was there so he won’t be surprise with my existence.
He noticed my abrupt footstep and glanced to see me.
“Kou…” He called out weakly. And his expression looked so weak.. not the usual Inoo Kei after he recovered from his sickness.
I approach him and sit beside him on the edge of the dock. Now that I am beside him, I can see some documents on his laps, I don’t know what document that is, but anything inside the document, might be the reason why he is like that.
“Kou…” he started. “I miss Hikaru…” He said lowly.. just like a whisper.
“I miss him too…” I answered him. I don’t know exactly what he wanted to say with this kind of opening, but I know.. it must be something serious.
“Is he.. that busy that he couldn’t contact us at all…?” He asked.
“Perhaps…”
“When will he come back? How long will he study there?”
“I.. don’t know” and from this… I’m afraid.
“Then tell me.. what does this document mean.”
He handed me the document from his lap. I opened the documents and… shit. This is the worst.
“Why does it say.. that Yaotome Hikaru is my donor… Kou?” He grabbed my clothes, forcing me to answer. His eyes were pleading and ready to burst out of tears.
But I didn't answer him at all. I kept on being silent.. not knowing what to do or what to answer.
Being impatient, Ke shouted. “Tell me, Kou! Tell me the meaning of the documents!” Now he used both of his hands to grab my clothes, cornering me, forcing me to answer his question because I kept on being silent.
This is.. the worst…… I don’t know how can he find this secret documents.
“Why do you lie to me??? Why Kou? Why!!!” He kept on pressuring me. He was now on top of me, cornering that much to make me speak the truth.
I was lying on the dock, looking up to his face on top of me, his face already full of tears..
It was also hard for me…. Kei…..
I looked down.. afraid of his pleading eyes. The eyes that full of anger and sadness.
“I’m sorry….. I’m sorry….” I whispered.
It was also hard for me… losing my bestfriend Kei… it’s not just you….
Kei finally loosen his grip and fell onto me.
“So it’s true…. That he is my donor….?
“So now he is already……….” He stopped his question. Not able to said that word. He looked so hurt, he clenched my clothes again, so hard.
“Hikaru….” He sobbed. I understood your feeling Kei.. it must be hard for you too.. Being lied to, not knowing that hist bestfriend was the one who save him. Not knowing that his bestfriend had died.. in the place of him.
Now he was lying on top of me, crying on my chest. But he was able to manage to say this one thing.
“Bring me there Kou.. bring me to Hikaru……….” He ordered.
