Chapter 29: A New Life
Having survived the fall, Saki begins to accept her new life in a wheelchair. This chapter, told from her perspective, reflects on her regrets, her love, and a small glimmer of hope for the future. Her inner voice wavers between the new encounters she faces and her unwavering feelings for Miwa.
â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§
"âŠKouta-kun?"
On my way to a conference with my primary doctor, I caught sight of a familiar face and spoke up without thinking.
"Saki-san! Wait, Saki-san!? Youâre at this hospital too?"
The one who turned around was Maezawa Koutaâthe guy who had been popular at high school even in his wheelchair.
We had been at the same school for over two years, but we had never spoken directly. Still, I saw him almost every day. I was often among the girls who went to watch the soccer clubâs practice, after all.
"Are you doing your rehab at this hospital too, Kouta-kun?"
"Yeah, twice a week. Looks like weâll be seeing each other around. Nice to meet you."
His dazzling smile made me squint instinctively. He truly is a refreshing person. It makes sense why heâs so popular. Even though heâs centered out like an idol, he isn't pretentious at all and is kind to everyone.
âI see. Even in a wheelchair, he isnât dark; heâs positive and cool.
Without realizing it, I might have looked at him as a "poor soul" before. But now, that thought comes back to haunt me. I have become a "poor soul" too.
My mother told me yesterday.
"Saki, you can no longer run, or even walk. The wheelchair will become your legs."
The moment I heard those words, strangely, I wasn't surprised. Somewhere deep down, I had known it for a while. That I am even alive right now is something of a miracle.
Still, I wonder why I did such a thing. In that moment, I had no control; it was as if some other entity was pulling the strings as I crossed the windowsill. Looking back, I can hardly believe it myself.
âMs. Dan.
Whenever I picture her collapsing at the entrance of my room, I can't help but smile. I wonder how sheâs doing now. I want to see her so much.
Mom was furious at her. But she did nothing wrong. If anything, Iâm the one who should apologize.
And yet, I have no regrets. I simply lived honestly according to my feelings. I was just in love. That isnât something anyone should be blamed for.
âŠThough itâs true that I caused trouble for a lot of people.
In the conference room, Dr. Akira, my primary physician, is desperately explaining things to my mother.
Even though itâs about me, my consciousness was far away from that room. My mind was constantly filled with thoughts of Ms. Dan.
What if sheâs forced to quit the school? My mother is a member of the Diet, and if she uses that promise from the parent-teacher conference as a weapon⊠My chest tightened at the thought.
Thatâs right. At that time, I definitely said it:
"If you won't allow us to exchange letters, Iâll jump from here."
I acted exactly as I said I would, so she should be able to forgive me now, shouldn't she? Thinking about it that way made me chuckle a little.
If she doesn't forgive me⊠Iâll refuse rehab. Even if I have to threaten her by saying Iâll truly die, I don't want to let go of my connection with my teacher.
Glancing in the mirror, I was surprised to see my face flushed bright red. Iâm only just realizing now how strong-willed I am. Iâm much more stubborn than I thought.
When will I see her next? Since sheâs the homeroom teacher for my sister, Sawa, Iâm sure sheâll come with her. Iâm so glad I have a sister. Sheâs on my side no matter what, and she even supported our correspondence. Itâs okay. Iâm sure everything will be okay.
âThe next morning. When I woke up, I felt something resting near my chest. I sat up and picked up a small scrap of paper.
"To Saki-san, It's Kouta! My next rehab is the day after tomorrow. I'd be happy if we could talk in the rehab room! âKouta"
It was from Kouta. He must have left it while I was asleep. Life in the hospital is lonely, so I was really happy to feel like Iâd made a friend.
I had male friends back in America, but this is my first in Japan. If Iâm aliveâif I look for it properlyâgood things can happen.
I welcomed Monday morning with a bright heart. Today is a school day. I wonder how everyone is doing. Sawa mentioned that Ms. Dan took last week off. As I thought, I might be the reason.
I want my teacher to always be smiling. âNo, thatâs not it. My true feelings are...
If my existence is shaking her, that makes me incredibly happy. Because itâs proof that I am in her heart.
I want her to be troubled. I want her heart to be consumed by me.
Of course, I love her smile. But even more than that, what I want to see is that raw, honest expression she shows from the bottom of her soul.
My heart beats faster just thinking of the day we meet again.
âThatâs right, I am alive. I am still in the middle of the storyâs sequel.
Life is truly interesting. Outside the window is a summer sky. I can still see her. I can still love her. âAs long as Iâm alive, life will surely continue to move toward the light.
â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§â§
Thank you for reading all the way to the end.
If anything resonates with you, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.
