The next day, Olga comes to work as usual. But the first thing what she does is to see Akira. But Akira seems not getting better still in the deep coma situation but his heart beating is becoming stable. Olga holds Akira’s hands and says: “Have a nice day Akira. I think your name must be Akira!” But this time, the heart beating of Akira doesn’t change. Just keeps the stable way to beat and also without tears in his eyes anymore.
Akira keeps staying in the dream with Katherine…. Akira is a student studying in the faculty of computer science. His school work is very heavy. Besides the school lessons, he also often needs to stay up overnight to code the different program assignments from professors. But when he has time, he goes to Katherine’s classroom to see if anything he can help on. Katherine is also very happy to see Akira often because he really can be her eyes to lead her to see many things and help on many things. But after very long time, Akira still doesn’t know that Katherine has problem on her eyesight.
One day, Akira went to see Katherine happily as usual. Katherine just finished a class lesson and talked to her classmates outside the classroom. Akira waves his hand happily to her in a distance. But Katherine keeps no responding to him. Akira walks closer and waves his hand again but Katherine still keeps talking to her classmates without noticing Akira is standing nearby. Akira feels very strange why Katherine keeps no responding to him and a bit sad in his mind. But Akira stands under a tree waiting for Katherine to finish the conversation with her classmates. After Katherine says goodbye to her classmates, she stands at the same place looking around waiting for Akira. Akira waves his hand hardly again to Katherine but Katherine still keeps no responding. Akira decides to walk to Katherine. When Akira walks behind Katherine and touches her on her shoulder, Katherine suddenly shocked and says why you want to scare me in this way. Akira feels very strange in his mind and thinks “Why I kept waving my hand walking to Katherine but she was shocked by me”. Akira didn’t ask Katherine anything about this doubt. He just invited her to eat dinner together at a noodle booth near school.
During the dinner, both of them are a bit quiet in an unusual way. But both of them are thinking different things in their minds. Katherine is thinking that she can’t catch up the progress of school lessons because she can’t see anything about what professors wrote on the blackboard in the classroom. She only can write down the notes by listening. And she felt shy with borrowing the lesson notes again and again from her classmates. Because her classmates always asked “why do you need our lesson notes? You were in the class too and you always paid full attention to the lessons.” The first exam is coming. Katherine really worries how to pass the exam but she doesn’t’ want to tell Akira about the problem of her eyesight.
Akira decides to break the silence. He asks Katherine “Why didn’t you respond me when I waved my hand to you outside your classroom? I waved my hand to you again and again. Were you angry with me about anything? “. Katherine keeps silent for very long time with tears in her eyes. She doesn’t know how to answer this question to Akira. She also worries very much about what will happen after Akira knows about her problem of eyes. She stands up and says: Excuse me! I need to go to toilet then runs to opposite direction of toilet. Akira says loudly “Toilet is in another way”. Katherine bursts out crying and says “I can’t see where the toilet is“
Akira stands up and hugs Katherine. “Don’t cry! Please tell me what happened! “. Akira says: Today’s sunset is very beautiful. Let’s have a walk to the beach. On the beach Katherine decides to tell Akira everything about her eyes. She told Akira about her serious sickness before the university entrance exams and told him that she couldn’t see anything in a longer distance. After told Akira everything, Katherine asked Akira seriously: Will you still like me like before and will you take care of me if I will become blind?
Akira hugs Katherine and asks her: Do you like this beautiful sunset? Katherine nods her head and says: Yes. Akira holds Katherine’s hands and says: Let me be your eyes and let’s see all the beautiful things in this world together! (To be continued)
