Promise to the Rainbow

Chapter 24 Super sweet happiness at the other end of the rainbow (2)
Mr. Akizawa grabbed my shoulder and patted it lightly. His eyes were slightly red, "Nai Nai, it's okay, he will be fine."

"Pa——" a voice suddenly sounded, and I looked around for a moment in a daze, only to find that the waiting room in the operating room had been turned off.

……

Is the operation over?

Why is it over, I am more nervous?

I tried hard to hold my breath, the violent heartbeat hit my chest again and again, the world around me was filled with dark mist, it seemed that this world would collapse and disintegrate at any time...

My eyes were bigger than light bulbs, watching the doctor slowly walk out of the operating room, I rushed in front of the doctor: "Doctor, doctor, how is he?"

There was no ripple on the doctor's face, probably he has seen many such scenes.He said to me calmly: "His brain nerves have been damaged, maybe he will wake up in a few days, maybe, he will never wake up."

"what……"

I fell to the ground in a daze, trembling all over, the world in front of me completely lost its color, and the doctor's words echoed in my ears like a spell.

Maybe, I'll wake up in a few days...

Maybe, never wake up...

"Om—" My world seems to be unable to hear other sounds...

Through the tears, I vaguely saw Mr. Akizawa rushing to the doctor, moving his mouth all the time, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hear what they were saying.

The heart-piercing pain made it difficult for me to even breathe...

Maybe wake up soon, maybe never wake up?
Could it be that the boy who was so indifferent to me, the boy who was so gentle and considerate to me, fell asleep like this?

Will not!Will not!How could Hao leave me?This is impossible!

At this moment, Hiroshi Sato was pushed out, the him in front of him was so quiet and weak, he was not at all like the firm guy he usually is.

His eyelashes rest quietly on the creases of his eyelids, his beautiful eyes are tightly closed, the tip of his delicate nose breathes so faintly that it is hard to detect, his lips that were originally apricots are now as pale as a piece of white paper...

Looking at Hiroshi Sato like this, I can only feel the bone-chilling cold, as if I am the only one left in this cold world.

I gently hold his hand, that hand is so weak, my tears burst again.

How I wish he could ruffle my hair now and tell me, "Idiot! Stop crying..."

4.
As Sato Hiroshi was pushed into the ward, Mr. Akizawa called me out...

With my red eyes, I stood in front of Mr. Qiu Ze without saying a word, and I was no longer cheerful as usual.

"Nai Nai, you have to be strong. Hiroshi Sato has no relatives. Now you are the only one who can rely on him and give him courage. You must not give up on yourself."

just me?
In Hiroshi Sato's world, am I the only one left?
I silently repeated Akizawa's words in my heart...

"Teacher Qiu Ze, is it because of me that he became like this? You beat me, scold me, blame me, you hate me!" I asked weakly.

"Nai Nai, it's useless to blame yourself now, not to mention that this incident was just an accident, you have to take good care of him, okay?"

Was it really just an accident?If I hadn't picked up the mobile phone chain at that time, if Hiroshi Sato hadn't rushed up...

None of this may happen.

If so many ifs can be re-chosen, will everything be different?
Teacher Akizawa left temporarily because of work. I went back to the ward quietly and saw Hiroshi Sato lying on the bed like a sleeping angel, as if he would open his eyes at any time, and said to me: "Nana, you coming."

I sat on the edge of the bed and gently held his hand. Those slender fingers seemed to have practiced the piano. They were really beautiful. Hao, have you practiced the piano?

I really don't know this, I never asked you, when will you get up and answer me?

The weather outside the window is gloomy, the sun seems to be shyly hiding behind the clouds, and the clouds are still in the sky with dark colors, without the warm sunshine, without the blue sky, although it is early in the morning, the house has become so dark.

Hao, look, you fell asleep, even Father Sun is unhappy.

Wake up soon?Let's practice singing together, eat matcha cake together, watch movies together, cook together, clean up the training room together...

I still want to go to Aegean Island with you to see the sea, Dubai to see the desert, and Switzerland to see the snow-capped mountains. I still want to do many things with you after a long, long time, you know?

Although I have always been careless and cheerful, it was not until I met you that my heart was not so lonely, and my world shone with a ray of dazzling brilliance.

Do you know all these?

You idiot, you don't even know, I'd rather be the one lying here right now.

I muttered to myself, I don't know when, the exhaustion of this day and night made me unable to bear it anymore, and I fell asleep quietly beside him.

When I slowly opened my eyes, the sky was completely dark, and the faint moonlight quietly spilled into the room, interlacing with the fluorescent lamps in the house to create yellow and white light and shadow, but I accidentally fell into the memory.

That time after I passed out in the bathroom, it was also in a similar ward. Hiroshi Sato fed me porridge like a big brother next door. It was the first time I saw him treat me so tenderly. Indifferent, handsome face like the lake in autumn.

And the scene when we first met, when I was so sad, I unexpectedly bumped into Ho without warning, and he bumped into me by accident, and I was wearing a bunny like an idiot clothing.

Also, in order to force me to go to the choir, he cleaned my room. When he saw my room for the first time, he even said it was a garbage dump.

And later!Also, when I was splashed with water by a girl in the class, he suddenly appeared like my protector, so brave.

Also, there are many, many more. Memories are like endless spider webs, which bound me completely and tightly at that moment. I have never calmed down to reflect on those things, but now it seems...

It turns out that Hiroshi Sato and I have experienced so many things together, and it turns out that he has always been by my side silently guarding me.

"Hiro Sato! Do you know? I have experienced a lot, and I finally understand how much you love me..." Tears flowed down my cheeks unconsciously, I held Hiro Sato's hand, and tried to squeeze out a smile , but salty tears slipped into the tip of the tongue.

But Hiroshi Sato in front of him was motionless, so quiet...

There is a hint of sadness in the night, which smudges the dark world, and a few lights seem to want to compete with the stars in the sky.

It was another sleepless night, and Mr. Akizawa came to the hospital early the next morning. He looked at Hiroshi Sato on the hospital bed, with tears in his eyes, but he tried his best not to let them fall.

"Nana, I have something to tell you, come out." Akizawa-sensei turned around, as if he couldn't bear to look at Hiroshi Sato's weak appearance.

I walked out of the ward with Teacher Akizawa, and couldn't help but look back at Hiroshi Sato, for fear that he would disappear in an instant out of my sight.

Standing outside the ward, Mr. Akizawa frowned and looked at me. After a long time of deliberation, he said, "Nai Nai, do you know what day tomorrow is?"

tomorrow……

"Tomorrow is the day for the competition, I know... But, with Hao like this, we can no longer participate in the competition..." I lowered my head and answered silently. At this moment, I am the only one left. How can it be?
What's the point of all this without Hiroshi Sato by my side?
"Nana, do you have to go to the competition? This is Hiroshi Sato's dream all along. He has put in too much effort for this matter. Although, although he is lying on the hospital bed now, he cannot participate in the competition. , but if you can stand out in the competition, then he will be happy, you know? I have told the judges about you just now, and the judges also felt sorry for Hao. When they learned that this competition is the dream of Hao , they made an exception and agreed to allow you to sing alone. As long as you take part in the competition with Hao’s dream, it will be the greatest encouragement to Hao!” Teacher Qiu Ze said a long paragraph in one breath, lest I suddenly interrupt over him.

……

I don't know what hit my heart at that moment, I suddenly had a little courage.

Indeed, this competition is crucial to Hiroshi Sato...

That is not only my dream, but also his dream, that's why he has been working so hard...

But now because I can't participate, the only one who can make up for it is me.

Ho, do you really want me to go to the competition?

"Nai Nai, you have to make a decision quickly!" Teacher Akizawa continued to persuade me, and I could see his expectations in his eyes.

Thinking of what Mr. Akizawa said in the past, those words about Hiroshi Sato's life experience, thinking of Hiroshi Sato's expectation for this competition, thinking of his hard work and sweat before, great courage filled my body, and I solemnly told Akizawa Teacher: "I will go to the competition! And I will win the championship!"

5.
The whole night I stayed with Hiroshi Sato in an uneasy mood. Although I swore to Mr. Akizawa, I haven't practiced the song for the competition for three days...

"Hao, you must also want me to participate in the competition, right?" I whispered to myself, knowing that no one would answer, but I still had a glimmer of hope.

In order to have a good state tomorrow, I half leaned half leaned on the sofa in the ward and fell asleep.

It seemed that I only slept for a short while, and then I woke up.At this time, the big sun was already hanging in the sky, and the sunlight outside the house was shining into the room, like a naughty elf, dancing in every corner.

I held Sato Hiroshi's hand tightly, and showed him a bright smile, "I will work hard! Hiro! You must work hard too! You must wake up quickly! I will bring the championship trophy to you You see!"

Fujisawa Nana!come on!

Teacher Akizawa has rushed to the hospital, ready to send me to the competition site.When I was sitting in the car, my heart suddenly calmed down. I can't make any mistakes in today's game.Although, although Hiroshi Sato is not by my side, Nao Fujisawa, you can do it yourself, you have to bring the trophy back to Hiro Sato!
The competition scene was crowded with countless spectators. I walked into the backstage with Mr. Akizawa, only to realize that today’s performance costume turned out to be the white dress inlaid with rhinestones that often appeared in dreams...

Looking at the white dress that had appeared countless times in my dreams, I froze in place, carefully sizing up this gorgeous performance costume, unexpectedly, it really quietly appeared in front of my eyes like this, And after a while, I'll be wearing it and standing on stage, living out that dream that often floats in bubbles.

But why is my heart so heavy?Why is it so difficult for me to even pull a smile on my face?

In fact, the "why" of all this is not difficult to answer at all, it is just because the guy I love deeply is lying quietly on the hospital bed at the moment.

For such a long time, I have always thought that today we will face together, but now I am left standing alone on the stage...

Since when, as soon as Sato Ko leaves my eyes, my heart will fall to the bottom in an instant, and it will be so difficult to breathe.

What's more, he is still sleeping at this moment...

Everything is in the unknown.

Hiroshi Sato, you must get better!I must also win the championship, because that is your long-cherished wish.

"Nanai, it's getting late, hurry up and put on makeup and change clothes." Akizawa teacher put a warm big hand on my shoulder and urged.

I looked at the direction of the hands of the clock, and I will be on stage to sing in 10 minutes. How many things will happen in 10 minutes?

I sat quietly in front of the mirror, the brushes slid across my face, and the hours ticked by.

When I put on the long white dress with rhinestones and beautiful stage makeup on my face, it seemed that the girl in front of the mirror was not me at all, but another gentle and demure girl.

If Hiroshi Sato saw me like this, would he like it?

This question lingered quietly in my mind. Following the sound of the announcement from the host outside, I stepped onto the stage with heavy steps.

"Nana, come on!" Mr. Akizawa made a "come on" gesture behind me, with a slight smile on his face.

I tried my best to move the corner of my mouth, but the smile I showed was not as cheerful as before.

Probably because I haven't practiced in the past few days, or because I have accumulated too many heavy things in my heart, my heart suddenly became tense. Looking at the stage under my feet, my steps suddenly became so hesitant.

I'm alone, is it really okay?

"Next, we invite the contestants from Qingyin Academy to sing "Over the Rainbow", the host urged again.

Fujisawa Nana!You can do it!Ok!Certainly possible!Even if Hiroshi Sato is not by my side, his heart must be eager to see my success.

I cheered myself up over and over again in my heart, and the handsome and gentle face of Hiroshi Sato suddenly appeared in my mind, and before I knew it, I was already standing on the stage.

Bright lights shone on my face, and there were countless audiences and several judges sitting under the stage, but at that moment, I only saw the appearance of Sato Hiroshi, his loneliness, his happiness, his coldness, His tenderness quietly touches my heart.

"Hello, judges, I'm Nai Fujisawa from Qingyin Academy. My partner Hiroshi Sato is lying in the hospital because of a car accident. Hiroshi Sato has always dreamed of participating in this competition. For this dream, he has paid very, very hard. Work hard, even though he can’t come today, I will sing with him with his dreams. I am very grateful to all the judges and teachers for giving us this opportunity so tolerantly.” Holding the microphone, with tears in my eyes, I greeted the audience. Looking at the countless gazes from the audience, he said softly.

"Crack-pump-"

As soon as my voice fell, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

Dear ho, do you feel it?This is the stage we have always dreamed of, if you can hear my singing, wake up...

As the music sounded, I slowly mobilized every sensitive musical cell in me, my throat seemed to be completely released, and the leisurely singing voice slowly and quietly slipped from my lips: "Somewhere over the rainbow way up high, there "sa land that I heard of once in a lullaby"

Ever since I met Hiroshi Sato, every bit of it has come to my mind, those beautiful pasts are like the clear blue sky, exuding charming colors.

The dreams and wishes we made together quietly burst out at this moment.

It turns out that music with emotions can be expressed without much effort.

Sato Hiroshi, you will definitely wake up!You must always be by my side and accompany me, right?This is your promise to me.

Just like I promised you to help you realize your dreams, how can I break my promise?
Then you will definitely not be like that!

As the music slowly ended, thunderous applause resounded throughout the competition.I slowly looked at the audience and judges in the audience, with bright smiles on their faces.

I took a deep breath, and my whole body relaxed, as if I had completed a difficult task.

Indeed... this thing is really tough and important to me.

In the past, Fujisawa Nai, who would be terribly nervous when standing on the stage, quietly changed in a second in the long time.

For that fellow Sato Hiroshi, he transformed...

I don't know how long it took before the results of the competition finally came out. The moment I heard the host announce the names of the winners, my heart suddenly rose in my throat.

This championship is really important to me...

"The champion of this competition is a dark horse! The winner is Nao Fujisawa!"

……

Time seemed to stand still. With the sound of applause, a smile appeared on my face, but what followed was tears that gently slid down my face.

Such an excited moment, such a long-awaited moment, but he couldn't share it with me.

But Hiroshi Sato, I have fulfilled our agreement, how about you?

When I walked off the stage holding the trophy, I greeted Mr. Akizawa and ran towards the hospital quickly.

I want to show the trophy to Hiroshi Sato, I want to tell Hiroshi Sato the news, I want to tell him to wake up quickly, and I want to tell him that the promise he made cannot be voided.

Now, I just want to see that guy!

Finally, I arrived at the door of the ward, and the warm sunshine quietly sprinkled into the corridor, and the clouds outside the house were like snow-white cotton candy floating in the sky.

The faint scent of lemongrass gently taps the tip of the nose...

I took a deep breath and pushed open the heavy door.

Sometimes, we can hardly predict what will happen in the next second.

Pink bubbles floated in the ward. The boy on the ward was wrapped with thick gauze on his head. He sat there quietly. The sunlight cast a layer of light golden light on his handsome face. The moment the eyes met, a shallow smile was carved on his delicate face...

"Congratulations, fool."

"thanks……"

It turned out that the tears of happiness were somewhat bitter, but more sweet, and they slowly slid down my cheeks.The trophy in my hand is a bit heavy, just like my dream with Sato Hiroshi.

Outside the window of the ward, a gorgeous rainbow quietly rose, and the sun and breeze gently penetrated into the ward.That rainbow is like the ultimate passage to happiness, and this person beside me is the key to happiness with me...
