Cherry Blossoms

Ito Takeru vaguely felt that the relationship between these two people was unusual. The person who came to visit the patient these days had been with the hospital. No matter what she was asked to do, she would do it without hesitation. She would sit quietly by the bed, and occasionally use her fingers to brush away the slipped forehead hair of the person lying on the bed.At this time, she was sitting there again, holding a notebook in her hand, and writing something on it with a pen. When Ken Ito saw it, he didn't continue to disturb, but closed the door after checking the room and went out.

Yuki is very helpless now. She wrote down everything she wanted to say in the notebook, but she couldn't read a single sentence. It is said that if she reads her familiar stories to someone who is asleep, she will definitely wake up. It was an extravagant hope. The gnawing scar on her neck not only restricted her language function, but also caused her to suffer from severe pain when it was cloudy and rainy. There were bursts of tingling pain in her neck, and her brows were wrinkled into a ball.Putting down the notebook, he got up and closed the window, and when he turned around, he saw the doctor named Ito bring a warm water bag.

"Using this hot compress will make you feel better. There will be more rains in this season. If you want to use it, you can go to the infirmary to get it yourself. In addition, can I trouble you to massage the patient's legs?"

Yuki nodded quickly, took the hot water bag and put it on Rena's right shoulder blade. Because of the explosion, the muscles were torn and the nerves were seriously damaged. Even though it has become a smooth section, Yuki I can also feel how painful it must be. It will hurt for a long time when I cut my hand with a knife. Yuki is a little thankful that Rena was already unconscious at that time, otherwise, what kind of pain would it be like to clean up those bone fragments from the wound.Medicines were in short supply during the battlefield, and there should be a shortage of anesthetics in such a small town. It is barely a blessing to be able to complete such an operation without knowing it.

Dr. Ito came to the bed and showed Yuki how to move, "Don't use too much force and not too lightly. If you are too light, you won't get the effect. After the legs are done, you will make the arms." Yuki is like an intern doctor. , focused on watching Ito's actions and the main points of the explanation.When Yuki started to massage, she realized that it was not so easy. Ito said that this could delay the symptoms of muscle atrophy, so Yuki became more careful and would massage her continuously every day.Dr. Ito built a simple bed in the ward without saying anything, so this small space seemed to be the home of the two people. The living conditions were considered difficult, but the corner of the woman's mouth was always hanging in the air. With a smile, Takeru Sato suddenly felt that happiness was not so difficult to obtain.

She thought that time would continue to pass quietly like this, but one night, Rena's heartbeat suddenly stopped again, and Yuki, who had become light sleep, jumped up after the beeping sound of the instrument, and rang the beeper, but The sound of the instrument was still making harsh beeping sounds. Yuki felt that the sound sounded very scary, and her heart was easily confused. She couldn't wait for the doctor to come, she wanted to save her, she had been waiting for her Come save her.That kind of thinking was formed in his mind in an instant, and it was affirmed in an instant. Without any unnecessary movements, Yuki lifted half of the quilt covering Rena's body, and then kept pressing her chest with his hands, "Don't This way...don't be like this, please...please..." Psychology kept shouting, tears rolled in the eyes, "don't leave me...don't leave me..." Wiping away tears, "Kashiwagi Yuki is not the time for you to cry, Rena is not dead, she is not dead!!! She is waiting for you to save her!" He tirelessly performed cardiac pacing over and over again.

Ito was preparing the equipment immediately after receiving the call signal. He knew that the woman's heart had stopped suddenly again. When he came to the room with the fastest steps, he couldn't help being stunned by the scene he saw. He only saw Yuki Kashiwagi sitting On the bed, he hugged Reina in his arms and supported her head with the socket of his shoulders. The two of them seemed to be fused together. He actually saw the tears falling from the corners of Matsui Rena's eyes. The short-term shock made his whole body tremble. I was paralyzed for a while, what kind of emotion made those two lives so painful and so dazzling. "She recovered her heartbeat, right?" Ito came in and stood aside, using an affirmative sentence.He finally understood why the woman named Rena Matsui was reluctant to leave.

Yuki turned her head and nodded, a few minutes ago, her heart couldn't beat no matter what, Yuki stared at her eyes, tears covered her vision, she thought it was all over, She just wanted to hug her, and when she leaned that bony body in her arms, her heart was gradually collapsing. She even thought that if she couldn't wake up, she would hold her and jump off the stairs together. Then they will be together forever.Before such a crazy idea in my heart was put into action, there was a weak breathing sensation from the back of my neck, I turned my head in surprise, and stroked her nose with my finger in disbelief, "She...she came alive It's gone..." I don't know if it was tears of joy, Yuki cried silently, she gently supported her head, hot tears dripped on Rena's thin back, every drop carried Yuki's miss.There will never be room for others in their world.

After that experience of cardiac arrest, Yuki fell into a shallow sleep, and she was afraid that her Rena would leave when she woke up.Such days were repeated, and Yuki also lost a lot of weight, but she still repeated the boring massage work so earnestly and carefully, because she had to live in the hospital for a long time, so Yuki also helped other patients in the hospital wash the bedding Clothes, bed sheets, etc., maintain the expenses in the hospital through this.

It was a sunny day, and Yuki put two large basins of clothes in the yard to be washed, and quickly cooled the clothes while the weather was good. Who would have thought that the major who had fought so many famous battles would wash them here clothing. "It would be great if I could take Reina out for a walk." Thinking this way, she kept rubbing the hard-to-wash stains on her hands. It might be more pleasant if she could hum a song.When she was finishing one wash and changing to the second one, an urgent voice sounded behind her, "Yuki Kashiwagi...Yuki Kashiwagi, hurry...quick, she wakes up...she wakes up ..." Dr. Ito, who had been expressionless all this time, yelled out of composure.

"Who's awake?..."

"Oh, why are you still doing laundry here? Hurry up and have a look, hurry up, she's awake!!!!" Dr. Ito ran all the way up and pulled her up from the bench.

"Wake up? Wake up? She is... Rena?" Yuki felt that God loved her so much at that moment, she didn't expect Rena to wake up, as long as she was still alive, it would be fine.But now tell her that she is awake, such a great thing has come true.Yuki felt that her feet were almost out of control, and she ran all the way, but the moment she stood at the door, she didn't dare to open the door. "What are you still standing here for, go in quickly?" Dr. Ito anxiously turned the doorknob and pushed her in.

On the white quilt, a head slowly turned around, eyes met, time seemed to stop at that time, the corners of Yuki's excited mouth began to twitch involuntarily, "Is this true? ... Her Rena really woke up..."

"Yu.....Yu.....Ji..." The faint voice came out from between the lips, but Yuki heard it clearly, she was so happy that she was about to die, and now Yuki felt that it was the happiest moment .She woke up! !
