Chapter 3:

The Brother

X Thirteen


Just as Hinako was about about to climb she saw something and paused and fainted. 

Mitsu saw and had a scared face and screamed. "We don't have much time. We need to take her to the hospital immediately." Saburo said as he was about to carry Hinako. As Saburo was carrying Hinako, Mitsu saw a bracelet on his arm. 

"Where did you get that bracelet?" Mitsu asked with a surprised and confused face. "we don't have time to explain. If we don't take her to the hospital at time, she will loose her memories again" Saburo said with tears coming out of his eyes. 

Saburo and Mitsu ran outside carrying Hinako but it was utter darkness outside. Saburo was looking around and saw vans at the parking lot. Saburo and Hinako looked for vans having a key. They found a van with open door and ran towards it. Saburo kept Hinako in a backseat and told Mitsu in the backseat with Hinako. Saburo drove the car as fast as he could, through the jungle and back to the city. 

"Take Hinako and go inside. I sorry I can't come inside. If I come inside and people saw me with blood in my body it might cause a scene. So hurry" Saburo said as they reached outside the hospital. 

Mitsu went inside the hospital carrying Hinako and asked the nurse to take her to the neurologist. 

After a while

The doctor said "Don't worry she is out of danger. You bought her in time." As Mitsu heard what the doctor said she was relieved. She sat along with Hinako all night. The next day she was discharged. Mitsu took her to their home. 

*Two days later(Sunday) *

"Bye onee san I am going to aki's home to play" Hinako said and went outside. "bye take care and coem home soon" Mitsu said. 

As Hinako went outside and Mitsu was about to go upstairs the door bell rings. "Is that you Hinako, did you forget something" and as he opens the door Saburo was standing outside. 

"Good morning, can I have a talk with you" Saburo said with a pleasant smile. "Sure, I too have a lot to ask you. Come in and please take a sit in the living room and I will bring you some tea" Mitsu replied. Saburo thanked and went inside and sat down in the living room. Mitsu brought some tea and she sat down too. 

Mitsu was about to ask something but before she could saw anything Saburo thanked Mitsu. "No No I am the one who should be thanking you. You really saved us back there" Mitsu replied. "No its not about that it's about Hinako. Thanks for caring about her for all this time" Saburo said. 

Mitsu got confused but suspicious and said"What do you mean? She is my little sister so it's obvious that I will take care of her even though we don't have parents ". "You don't need to try to hide it. You aren't the only one who knows that she is not your little sister." 

"How do you know that" Mitsu asked. "I used to be his close friend and this bracelet that you and Hinako saw yesterday was the only remain I found from that place"Saburo replied." Even though Hinako lost her family and her memories, you took care of her and took her far away from her origin. Thank you". Saburo drinks his tea and says goodbye and goes outside. 

AS Saburo went outside. Mitsu went inside her room and cried. She cried as much as she could and after a while she calmed down. Then she sat at the edge of the corner. 

*Mitsu*

He was the boy who I used to love.

Looks like it's the punishment I got for betraying his love. I got left with a hole in my heart but why did the gods took him away.

I still remember the day we met, the day I asked him out, the time we spent together.

But I wanna forget the day he knew the truth and left me. If only I didn't betrayed him, he would still have been alive

I am very sorry, Kin (Mitsu I look up and crying)
