“Inoo-kun is awake!!!” Yamada yells from Inoo’s door. His voice is loud enough for the whole hallway to hear, including Yabu and Takaki who are waiting in the family room.
Yamada’s announcement makes the two boys speed on the corridor with all their might, heading towards Inoo’s room of course. Joy fills Yabu’s heart more and more as he gets closer. He couldn’t wait to see his wife- his beloved wife.
“Kei!” Yabu rushes to get Inoo who appears confuse on the bed. Inoo pushes Yabu aside; her face is full of terror. She pulls out all the wires and intravenous drip on her body, causing quite an amount of blood coming out from the poked sites.
Yamada and Takaki try to stop the girl from continuing to harm herself. But just like Yabu before Inoo is unexpectedly strong enough to shove the two boys away. Nurses and doctors start to fill in the room, one with a syringe ready in his hand.
Inoo takes off her oxygen mask. “Get away! I need to see my son!”
“Calm down Kei. Ainosuke is fine,” Yabu once again approaches. However he backs off again when Inoo throw the mask at him.
“Where’s my son?” she angrily stares at Yabu. “What have you done to him?”
“Inoo-kun, don’t move too much! You’re still injured! Why don’t you take a seat and we can talk a little bit more calmly ok?” Yamada gradually gets closer to Inoo.
Inoo shifts her teary eyes towards Yamada. “Bring me to Ainosuke,” the girl grabs Yamada’s shoulder. “Please… take me to him. He needs me… Please Yama-chan. Please…” Inoo begs as she kneels to the younger boy.
Yamada looks around. He knows the doctors will not let Inoo out of her room in that condition.
“All right, we’ll visit him,” one of the doctors step up front. “But only if you agree to be on the wheelchair.”
Inoo nods, agreeing with the condition. She knows she doesn’t have much choice other than to listen to them. As long I can see Ainosuke.
With Yamada’s help Inoo get on a wheelchair brought by a nurse not long ago.
“Don’t touch it!” Inoo speaks when Yabu tried to push the wheelchair for her. “I don’t need your help.”
Yabu bites his lower lips. His heart breaks into pieces. His own wife makes him feel like a complete stranger.
Takaki stares at Yabu, as if he is asking for permission. Slowly he takes over Yabu’s place and pushes the wheelchair, heading to the elevator. The two other follow closely from behind.
There is a complete silence during the short five minutes journey. Nobody dares to talk. They quietly stare at each other- but mostly looking at Inoo whose eyes keeps giving out tears since the beginning.
They finally arrive at 8A ward- the pediatrics critical care unit. Inoo’s hands are trembling even more than before.
“Ainosuke!” the mother hops off her wheelchair and limps to get closer to the unconscious boy. She holds Ainosuke’s tiny right hand in between her palms.
“Mama is here Ainosuke,” she kisses her son’s cold hand. “Ainosuke… open your eyes for mama please…”
Yabu feels like his chest is being cut open. It’s painful- really painful to see the woman he loves being in this much of sorrow. It is even more agonizing that he is the one who caused it.
“Ma…” a soft husky sound comes from Ainosuke’s mouth. Inoo startles for a while before finally comprehend that Ainosuke is actually calling her.
The doctors rush towards the boy, checking every single inch of Ainosuke’s body. Takaki and Yamada exitedly look at each other.
Ainosuke is waking up! This is a miracle!
But the excitement didn’t last long. After a few minutes the two doctors step back, shaking their head at the same time.
“Cherish the moment,” one of the doctors whispers to Yabu on their way out. “He is at his most.”
Yabu’s hope crushed. So miracle doesn’t exist after all.
Ainosuke lifts up his tiny hand, attempting to move the tube in his mouth. But Inoo gently stops him.
“Pa…” the short call gives Yabu a shiver. Takaki and Yamada make way for Yabu to pass through, allowing him to get on the other side of the bed. Ainosuke’s left hand trembles as he tries to reach his father.
Yabu quickly takes the hand and kneels at the bedside. “Ainosuke…”
A faint smile carves on the boy’s pale face.
“Pa-pa… ma-ma… da-i-su-ki…”
Everybody that present couldn’t hold their tears seeing the touching moment.
“We love you too Ainosuke,” Inoo kisses her son’s hand once again. “We love you, a lot.”
Ainosuke slowly turns to his left to look at Yabu. “Pa-pa, sing- for-me- please… the-song…”
“Please… -last-time…” the boy mumbles with the tube in his mouth. Inoo weeps even more hearing his son’s request.
Yabu nods. “But this is not the last time.”
He wipes his tears, recalling the lullaby he used to sing for his son before Ainosuke went to bed. The song that he hasn't been singing for the past two months.
Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Papa's gonna buy you a diamond ring
And if that diamond ring turns brass,
Papa's gonna buy you a looking glass
And if that looking glass gets broke,
Papa's gonna buy you a billy goat
And if that billy goat won't pull,
Papa's gonna buy you a cart and bull
And if that cart and bull fall down,
You'll still be the sweetest little baby in town
So hush little baby don't you cry,
'Cause…
Mama loves you… and...
...so do I
Yabu stutters on the last line. His tears pour down like rain watching Ainosuke’s breath getting more and more difficult as he sings. He knows what that means.
“O-ya-su-mi pa-pa… ma-ma…”
A loud beep comes from the telemetry as Ainosuke expires his last breath. The tiny hands stop trembling, and the grip loosen. The faint smile on the boy’s face starts to fade away.
“AINOSUKE!!!!!!!!!!!”
