The Trip Of My Heart

EPISODE 25 - -> Sadness

"How's my friend doing, Doc?" aiko asked with concern.

The doctor looked at the three of them. "Mirai had a pretty hard impact and he had an injury to his leg. His leg bones are fractured. However, with time, it can be healed. However, he must not work or do any work until his injury is completely healed. He should take a complete break of at least a month or so."

"Can we go see him?" ask Hiro.

"Can. But he was asleep at the moment" replied the doctor.

"Then we'll see her later after she wakes up. Thank you, Doctor. Excuse me," Aiko said as she walked out.

Aiko beckoned Hiro and Eisuke so that they would follow her. After which, the three of them saw Mirai from the glass of the room window.

"Poor Mirai. Why can he experience something like this" said Aiko sadly.

"If this jerk doesn't exist, Mirai won't experience anything like this" Hiro said as he clenched his hands together.

Aiko turned towards Hiro. "Hey, don't start again. This is an accident. There is no right and no wrong. Hiro, instead of you being so angry like this, you better accompany me to eat now."

"I want to take care of Mirai!" answer Hiro.

"Later we'll go into his room after he wakes up. Now come with me to eat, I'm so hungry." Aiko pulled Hiro's hand, then turned her head towards Eisuke. "Eisuke, do you want to come eat with us?"

"No" answered Eisuke.

"Okay, okay. Then me and Hiro would go eat for a while," Aiko and Hiro left Eisuke alone.

After a moment Aiko and Hiro leave, Eisuke emboldens himself into Mirai's room. He approached Mirai who was being shut down. The handsome guy reached out his hand and gently stroked Mirai's face.

"I'm sorry! I can't take good care of you. Because of me, you're hurt. Mirai, I wish you could live happily. Goodbye bye!" Eisuke kissed Mirai's lips and tears of sadness came out from the end of his eyes.

Eisuke comes out leaving Mirai severed. The guy went back to his hotel room and packed all his things. He decides to deny his feelings for Mirai. And just then, Eisuke returns to Tokyo alone.

By the time Aiko and Hiro return to the hospital, Eisuke is no longer there.

"Eisuke is not there. Where'd he go?" aiko said while looking around.

"It's good that he's gone. The bastard finally knew himself!" Hiro grinning.

Suddenly from inside the room came the sound of Mirai waking up. Aiko and Hiro enter the room.

"You awake? How are you doing?" ask Aiko worriedly.

"I'm fine, just a little bit of pain" Mirai replied.

"Thank God you're okay" said Aiko relieved.

"Where's Eisuke?" ask Mirai.

Aiko and Hiro stared at each other. "So when I went to eat with Hiro, Eisuke was here. However, when I got back he was no more."

"really? Where she went," Mirai looked sad.

Aiko noticed the look on Mirai's face that looked sad. "Ehm, don't worry. I'll go to his room later. Who knows if he's resting in his room."

"Thank you, Aiko." Mirai smiled faintly.

"I'll wait outside, if you need anything call me." Hiro walked out of the room.

"Mirai, I'm going back to the hotel right now. Later if I meet Eisuke, I'll have him come here to see you. Oh yeah, if you need anything, you can call Hiro outside. I'll go first" said Aiko.

"Where's Eisuke? Don't-don't he..." Suspicion in Aiko's heart. Finally, he decided to go to the lobby and ask the hotel attendant there.

"Excuse me, is our friend Eisuke Harada still staying at this hotel?" ask Aiko.

"Okay, wait a minute. I'm gonna check it out" the clerk saw a bookkeeping note on his desk. "Sorry, Eisuke Harada checked out a few hours ago."

Aiko was surprised. "Oh?! So yeah. Thanks for the info."

"Is it possible that Eisuke has returned to Tokyo? How's this! What should I tell Mirai," muttered Aiko puzzledly.

Meanwhile, Eisuke has arrived at his house with a sad look on his face. He walked with an empty look.

"You're home yet? Didn't you say you were going on vacation in Hokkaido for a week. Why are you home now?" ask Kaito.

Eisuke was stunned limp. Without even saying a word, he continued his steps.

Kaito realized something was strange. "I know something happened to you. How long are you gonna keep it to yourself?"

Eisuke stopped and spoke slowly. "I'll let Mirai go. I don't want to make him suffer."

"Are you sure of your decision?" Kaito looked at Eisuke questioningly. "Are you ready to lose him?"

"Yes!" answer Eisuke.

On the other hand, Aiko had told Mirai that Eisuke had already left the hotel. Mirai was very sad and tried to hold back her tears.

"Why did he just leave? Though the person I wanted to see first was her, "the inner Mirai was sad.

"Don't be sad. I'll accompany you here. Whenever you need it, I will always be there for you" Hiro said as he stroked Mirai's face.

"Mirai, said the doctor you should rest here first for a month. And sorry, I may not be able to accompany you for long here," said Aiko.

Mirai surprised. "But I have to go home to work at the minimarket. That job is very important to me."

"You can't work anymore. From today I will meet all your needs. Don't worry, for a month I'll be with you in sino." Hiro looked at Mirai with a smile.

"Thank God there's a Hiro who's going to be with you. Tomorrow I'll be back in Tokyo. I'll tell your uncle. That way he won't worry" Aiko said.

Mirai finds out that she can no longer work. He could only mourn the bad luck that had befallen him.

***

Day after day had passed, Hiro patiently took care of Mirai and accompanied her in the hospital. It had been over a month, finally today they returned to Tokyo.

Hiro drives Mirai home and lets the girl into his room.

"Be careful how you walk. The doctor said you still can't move much" Hiro said attentively.

Mirai nodded. "Thank you, Hiro."

Mirai lay on the bed and closed her eyes. After that, Hiro came out of Mirai's room.

"Mirai's asleep?" ask Uncle Hiro.

"Yes, he's asleep. Mirai is not working at the moment. He had to rest completely until his legs were completely healed. For financial matters I am ready to help with pleasure. I.. I really like Mirai." Hiro expressed his feelings.
