Hi all,
This is the next chapter, enjoy and sorry for the bad english
Chapter 8 : Closer BondIt been a while since the incident. And Kai has been visited Acchan every day. He always come bring the note, study material and sometimes some snacks. He make sure Acchan didn’t miss her lesson when she is absent. And sometimes he try to make a joke. It is a fail joke, everybody who hear it won’t laugh at his jokes. But different with Acchan, she always smile or laugh at Kai’s joke.
Kai and Acchan is study together. While Yuu is still at school. He has a club activity while Kai is belong to go home club. He help Acchan by spell the notes for Acchan, and help her with her material. Shinoda Sensei has made a special material for Acchan, so that she can keep up with her lesson. And after study for a quiet a while, Kai feel tired.
Kai : Acchan, let’s take a break. I am tired already.
Acchan : okay, but let me finish this page first.
Kai : I don’t know that you love to study that much. you looks like my sister.
Acchan : well, you need a hard work to be able to achive something right? if I didn’t work hard with this situation, how I can keep up with the lesson. I don’t want people to look down on me because of that.
Kai : if there are people like that, I will sure to kill them. No body can look down on you because of your blindness. No body can guarantee what will happened next day, maybe they will be the one who are blind, and Acchan, may be you will get your eyesight again.
Acchan : thank you Kai, I wish I can. That will be a greatest gift for me. But the chance is very small. I need a donor.
Kai : can’t surgery fix your eyes?
Acchan : the doctor said there are possibility, but it is very low. at first, I desperately deny my situation. I try to walk without stick, or refuse to learn braille. I even refuse to eat or go out from the house. until, Aunt Oshima come and advise me. so little by little I try to learn the fact that I am blind.
Kai : …
Acchan : gommene, to talk about this thing. don’t worry, I am over it. I am okay now.
Acchan try to smile to Kai, but Kai know that Acchan is still sad about the fact. There are silent after that, as suddenly Kai hug Acchan. At first Acchan is surprise by his embrace, but then she hug him back. As Acchan hug him back, Kai hug her tighter.
Kai : don’t say I am okay. I know you are not, please don’t give me that fake smile. I hate that.
Acchan : Kai… thank you..
Acchan then break the hug, her hand reach Kai’s face and when she touch his cheek, slowly she move closer. She want to know about his reaction. Will he pull him out, or will Kai stay and let her kiss him.
Kai pov
I am a bit disappointed when she break the hug. deep inside my heart I know that I still want to feel her warm in me. When Acchan touch me, I heart feel very nervous, it skip really hard. I can feel her sweet scent when she come closer. It is very nice, those sweet fragrance that I can make me feel calm and nervous in the same time. Will she kiss me?! This close distance, and those alluring lip which asked to be kissed.
This is too much for me. as she move slowly toward me, I stand it anymore. It is a dream? I then closed my eyes, and feel a softness. But to my surprise, those softness didn’t happened in my lip. But in my cheek. Acchan kissed me on my cheek.
What is this feeling, why I feel disappointed. What did me expect.
Ha ha, I must be stupid. We are still friend. it is not possible for us to kiss each other like a couple, right?
End of Pov
Acchan then move and kiss him on the cheek. Then she flashed him, her angelic smile.
Kai : Acc..
Acchan : that is my thanks, Thank you Kai, for helping me study, for cheer me up, and for being my friend.
Kai : I .. you are welcome.
As Acchan want to move back and get up, she stepped on Kai’s water bottle, as she want to fall down. Kai quickly pull her toward him and this action make him lost balance and fall down. Now Acchan is on his top.
Yuu : Kai, Acchan. I bring some snack..
…
Yuu : I am sorry to distrub your time. I will be back later.
Both Kai and Acchan then moved away, as Kai and Acchan position is still very closed. They keep quiet until Acchan broke the silent with her giggle.
Acchan : I think he misunderstand something here.
Kai : ye.. yeah. I will go out and talk to him.
….///…
At Night in Takahashi Household
Tonight Kai make up his mind to go to his father room and talked to his father. Kai rarely talk to his father because his father is a strict man. He always want the best one from Kai and Minami. He hope one day they can be a great doctor.
Knock ! Knock!
Kaito : come in
Kai : Father, do you have a moment?
Kaito is supprise that Kai has something to talk about. Usually, it is him who ask Kai something. But he hide his shocked expression very well. He then tell Kai to sit in the chair beside him.
Kaito : what do you want to ask, Kai?
Kai : father, I wonder if it is possible for a blind people to be able to see again without any donor?
Kaito : it is depend on. What cause of his/her blindness. What’s wrong?
Kai : well, if it because of incident. Is there any surgery that can help?
Kaito : hm… I won’t say there isn’t any chance. We need to see his / her eyes first. with nowdays technology that I have researched, I think it is possible if it is cause by brain damage.
Kai : really?
Kaito : yeah, right now it is still on progress. But soon, I think I will find a method to retrieve the damaged retina. What wrong? You seem to interested in what I have been done. Usually when I talked about those things with Minami, you just stay silent or just look at your phone.
Kai : well, actually. I have a friend that is blind because of accident. I wonder if she really doesn’t have any chance to be able to see.
Kaito : if you want, I can look at her. bring her medical result to me, I will see if there is any possibility for it. So.. it is a girl, huh? Do you interest in her?
Kai : huh?! wh.. what did you said, father? We just.. friend.
Kaito : friend, huh? I wonder if these day you go home late because of visiting that you called friend? ha ha ha
Kai : we.. just study together, nothing else. Now, please excuse me, father.
Kaito : hai! Hai! Good night my son
Kai : good night, father.
Kaito is very happy. He never really have a chat with Kai, since his wife is died. He really in lost back then, a busy doctor who need to raise his two small child. And because of a lot of stress and busy schedule, slowly he become a complete stranger to his children, especially Kai. Back then, Kai is a cry baby. And he always want attention from his father. But, Kaito never really give Kai, his attention since he is busy, and because Kai is not good with the study and always fighting with his friend back then. Kaito always punish him.
Now, slowly Kaito realize that his relationship with his son is like a stranger and he want to change it. but, his pride really didn’t give any help to mend his relationship with his son. Now that he has something to talk to Kai, may be little by little he will have a chance to repair his relationship with Kai.
