Dozo ~
Secret Train of Love [Chapter 1]
Takamina's POVI have never imagined that things would go this way. she told me that everything will be fine. I believed in her, so why did it turned out like this?
It was 7 in the evening when Yuko called me - crying. She said that Acchan had an accident, Acchan was driving in the Metropolitan Expressway to meet me. Every since Acchan told me she'll get a license, i know it was a bad idea. I know her well and her clumsiness.
Just where is that damn hospital? I've been running for ages !
I reached out for my phone to get new updates about Acchan, but great ! I left it in our apartment. Well, not 'our' anymore since she stopped living with me due to 'some factors' and instead lived with her bffs, Harugon and Yuko. But Hey ! Aren't I her bff too? - That's what the case before, but now we're something more. Acchan and I have been dating - 4 years already.
Damn ! Just what am i thinking? It's not the time to think about stuffs like this or maybe i just need some distraction? Oh wait, why am i even running, i could've gotten a cab !!!
'Baka Baka Baka!!!' I hitted my head lightly for my idiocy. I was panting very hard when i realized i was already here.
My Heart beated fast. I tried to distract myself again with random thoughts but i failed. I went to the attendant to confirm Atsuko's number. Like any other Hospitals, well, hospitals that i know of, it's eerily quiet here which added to my nervousness.
I'm already at the front of Atsuko's room. There's only a person or two in the hallway.
Where are the others?
Tears formed in my eyes. I wiped it with my sleeve but it's no use. It continued to fall. 'scenarios' started to form in my head.
What if Acchan is in a critical condition?
What if i won't be able to see her smile again ?
rather...
Can i face her ?
I felt a hand caressed my back. It has the same warmth as Atsuko's. For that second, my worries faded. I looked back to see who it was.
"Tomochin..."
In my voice i know disappointment escaped. But disappoinment in what? Is it with the accident or with the matters in my heart?
"Minami..."
She looked at me for a second. I cleared my throat. There are many things that i want to ask but for some reason i can't put it to words.
As if Tomochin know what's on my mind, she gave me the answer i was looking for.
"She's okay."
I cried. The feelings and worries i have been hiding all this time went out bursting. I think i really love Atsuko.
If there is someone who knows me the most - next to Acchan, it was her. Tomochin was always there for me. She is my bestfriend and Acchan's too. Some may think of her as bitchy, but the truth is she's a good person and a friend. The three of us have been together for six years, since the start of AKB . It's not really about being the 1st gen members, rather, there is something that linked us together. Tomochin is always ther for me and Acchan. It's thanks to her that Acchan and I are dating.
Tomochin is a friend i'll never want to loose.
"Ikou?" Tomochin asked. It has been 20 mins since i sitted at the chairless hallway. I think I can face Acchan now.
I opened the door. Atsuko's room is like a house, everything's there. A mini TV, couch, ref and table. Miichan and Mariko were there, the room is filled with silence. The two of them looked up at us and gave a mini smile.
"you're late general manager" Mariko said trying to start a conversation. Like any normal day, we have already been teasing each other. Or mostly, Mariko teasing me.
"i forgot to take a cab, looks like i panicked when Yuko suddenly called me." i scratched my head admitting my idiocy.
Tomochin and I seated at the couch facing the other two. I looked at Acchan who was sleeping peacefully, she looks okay except for the bondage in her head and the fact that she's sleeping. I want to go beside her but i think it's not that time for it yet.
“Looks like Yuko is ahead of us in all the things, especially when Acchan graduated.” Mariko joked.
“Actually, I called Yuko... after Aki-P called me.” Tomochin said.
“Yeah, Thanks to Yuko or else i would still be in the restaurant waiting for Acchan to come.” I said sadly, faking a smile.
“Why didn’t you contact me Tomochin ?” I asked.
“I forgot.” She plainly answered which made me confused. I don’t mean that Yuko is not the best choice to call surely, panicking and worrying will lead to confusion.
“What’s Acchan’s condition by the way?” I tried to change the subject.
"the doctor said she'll wake up in 24 hours." Miichan said as she saw me looking at Acchan. I turned my head at her, sadness and fear is all over her face, but still , she's thinking positively, something i can't do.
"the accident didn't damaged her greatly, only some bruises and all but it got her unconscious.” Mariko added.
“Guys, Thanks for being here for Acchan. You should go to rest, I’ll take in charge here.” I smiled at them. “It’s better if i’m the only one absent tomorrow, right?”
“Are you sure takamina ?” Tomochin asked. “I could stay with you, it’s my day-off tomorrow anyway.”
I looked at Tomochin, she’s sincere and i’m glad she wants to stay with me here, but i don’t want to ruin her day-off. It’s not something an AKB member often gets.
“me too.” Miichan said, “I want to stay”
“You’re not the only one concerned for Acchan General Manager!” Mariko added.
It's really good of them but ...
"Miichan, Mariko, Tomochin... I'm sorry but.."
"How 'bout Takamina and i will just update you about Acchan ?" Tomochin said.
"sou," I nodded. wait, eh ?!
I can see Mariko raise an eyebrow.
"It's my day-off tomorrow and i wouldn't watching my bestfriend." I think Tomochin stressed out the word bestfriend for some purposes but maybe it was just my imagination.
"You two needs to attend a press conference tomorrow right? And you can also tell others about Acchan's condition" Tomochin added.
"Ah, right ! good thing you reminded me,." Mariko said.
"You'll model for Mariko's latest fashion design right miichan ?" Tomochin asked, making a double kill.
"just be sure you don't want Takamina all to yourself." Miichan said. Tomochin laughed dryly.
What does she mean? Well, since it's miichan she must be joking.
After that, Mariko and Miichan waved their good byes. I went with them to the elevator as a sign of courteousness, then i went back to Acchan's room.
Tomochin was sitting on the couch, watching Acchan earnestly, I was too engrossed by the moment that i watched the two together. The thing is, Tomochin saw me. It felt odd on my case because i look like a creeper.
"Tomochin, thank you for convincing them." I said blushing. One of her talents is convincing people, i wish i had one too.
"No problem ~" Tomochin smiled.
"Now you can go ho-"
"So, what do you want for dinner Minami ?" She grinned.
With that being said, i know i can't convince her to go home, really, It's going to be a long night.
