I got to the hospital twenty minutes early and meet my little sister, Mitsuha. She looked very worried.
' What happened to him? '
' I went to his school to pick him up. When I got there, he was unwilling to go home. I left him to play for a few more minutes, only for him to run out of the playground to the sidewalk and faint. I immediately called the ambulance and held him there. They came a few minutes later and drove him here. When I asked what was wrong, they asked for your number and refused to tell me anything. '
' Take me to the doctor. '
' Okay, he's this way. '
We got to the doctor's office. Luckily for me, it was doctor Misuzu on duty. Once he saw me, he asked why I didn't come for the fresher's ceremony.
' I had work to do '
' Work? '
' I have a part time job. '
' Oh, I understand. So, why are you here? '
' I'm here for Aoi Tokura. '
' Oh, that kid that was admitted just now. What's your relationship with him? '
' He's my younger brother. '
His face was a mixture of suprise and shock. He immediately recovered though.
' Okay. Since you are a medical student, you'll quickly understand. A part of his brain is swollen and therefore he is having seizures. '
' So he's epileptic for now. How much is the surgery? '
' This is why I like you. The surgery to reduce the swelling costs five million dollars. '
' Five million dollars!!!!! That's too much. ' Mitsu screamed.
' It's not, Mitsuha. It could be around ten million dollars but because I'm a medical student of the school, it's reduced. '
' I'll pay four million now and pay the one million later. '
'I said all this thinking about the money our parents left us. That was up to three million. Mine was one point five million. Now it was only five hundred thousand remaining.
My sister looked at me and said:
' I have around two million dollars. '
I was as shocked as hell. How did she get that money? Before I could ask, she answered me.
' I've been working after class and I'm a private tutor for some kids in our school. I believe that's enough to foot the bill. '
I was so proud and happy that my little sister could think about saving at this age.
' Let's get this over with. ' I said walking to the cashier with Mitsuha holding my hands, happy that everything will be okay and Aoi will be back to normal.
