Notes: Well…quick isn’t it?! I was so bored at home (exams just
finished and my birthday is tomorrow, 10th April. Kami-sama must be
happy enough to get me a day off! Arigatou!) Hope
you’ll enjoy it! ^^

“Andy! Wake up now! You’re
going to be late for school if you don’t hurry up!” A lady’s voice called from
the bottom of the stairs.
From upstairs, a sound was
heard like something was hurled onto the wall in reply. The lady smiled and
walked up towards the room where the young boy slept. “I’m going in! Whether you like it or not!” She called out as she opened
the door. Just in time, she dodged a flying pillow in her direction. She
quickly scooped up the pillow and walked towards the bed where a figure was
clearly seen shaking beneath all those sheets.
“Not again…” She thought
worriedly as she gave hug the shivering body.
“Now…you must have been
having those nightmares again, about…your parents…isn’t
it?”
“Father…mother…they died
again!!! Again and again!!!!! Doushite?! Once is
enough! Doushite!!!!???” The boy cried out between
sobs. The lady hugged the boy even tighter than before. Tears
was seen rolling down her pale cheeks…
“That was the same…it’s been
2 years already and he haven’t got over it…nightmares almost every night, as
his guardian now…I really failed his dead parents!” She nearly wanted to shout
it our loud, but knowing that it would make the boy feel even more worse than
ever, she could only recount all those memories in her mind…
“Are you really sure that
you can take care of him Sayuri?! After all, he’s only a 9 year old boy whose
parents just died!”
“…I…I would want to take care of him. He’s already
so young when he lost his parents, and now what?! His memory?! He really needs
someone to take care of him, to listen to all his problems and to love him!
Ever since I saw him collapsed on his mother’s body and his cries for her to
wake up…I felt that he was also just like me…”
“So? If we give you the
chance, would you really swear that you’ll take good care of the boy and be his
guardian?”
“I,
Nurse Sayuri Tanaka, vow that I’ll take care of Andy Won and love him until the
day I died…just like his mother…I’ll fulfil her wish of not seeing Andy cry
anymore…”
Thinking so, she pulled off
the bed sheets, revealing an 11-year-old boy curled up in a foetus position.
Tears were flowing freely from his eyes and he was trying his best to stop
them. Sayuri looked at the boy and gave him a slap across his tear-stained
face.
“Look here! You heard what
your mother said before! She told you not to cry!!!!! You won’t follow her
wishes just before she went to Heaven!? That was very unlikely of you Andy
Won!” Sayuri choked out the words, glaring at the surprised face in front of
her. She continued in a whisper “I vowed to take care of you…try to let you
forget about all the misery you faced in that day and just accept what fate
have given you…and what would fate install for you. So please Andy…try not to
dwell on the past anymore and get all wrapped up in it…you should get on with
your life…remember what your mother said? ‘You’ll become a great person
someday…’ and I believed her. Show me that she’s right…”
~***~
I gave a small sign as I remember Sayuri oneechan’s advice…I remember that the reply that I gave her was only a smile and got up to get ready for school, and that really made her back into her cheerful self again. I could never forget those tears on her face. Those were the first ever tears I saw since I woke up from my coma. They were tears of happiness and sadness, happy that I was still living and sad that I did not intend to carry on living with my life. She would always be there for me…to support me in whatever I do, to take care of me and listen to my sorrows. To love me…
Arigatou, Sayuri-neechan…
