Sayuri's POV (1week later)
    "I know you don't want to stay here anymore, even though I wish you did so I could still look after you." "I really appreciate everything you are doing for me doctor, but really am fine. besides, I know there isn't much you can do." Dr. Sannan pushed his glasses up his nose and gave me a smile. "Please don't be alone, and call me if you need anything." Souji ran inside the room, startling me and the doctor. "You're going home?! And you're not stopping her!?" Souji looked at me and then at the doctor, he didn't look too happy about my desition.

    I walked towards him and rolled my eyes. "Souji calm down. I've been here a whole week, I feel fine.  And he just gave me instructions, so everything is going to be fine." "Souji, I don't like it either. Especially cause she can't be alone. I would really recommend staying with a friend or family member." "I'll stay with her." "Souji you don't have-" He interrupted me and took my discharge papers. "Yes, I do. If anything were to happen and you-" Grabbing him hand and giving him a smile I interrupted him. "Ok ok, if it gives both of peace of mind." 

   After getting more instructions, Souji and I left home. On our way there, Souji hands me my phone. "You dropped it that day. I didn't give it back to you cause Sannan said you needed rest." He said never taking his eyes off the road. I looked down at it and turned it on. "He's been calling you." I looked up and looked at the side of Souji's face. "Don't worry I didn't answer it." I only nodded. We were both left in silence. 

   I looked at the missed calls and text messages. They were all left by Sanosuke. Every day he would message me asking if I was ok. That he needed to ask me something. "Are you going to call him back?" I looked up to see Souji looking at me. "Two more weeks left...then it's over." His face turns into a confused one. I smile and look down at my phone. "In order for me to sing the divorce papers, I asked for him to grant me one request." Souji looked at me then back at the road. 

   "What? He asked you for the divorce already?" I nodded. He squeezed the steering wheel very hard making his knuckles white. "You should of just sign the papers and get away from him." My eyes filling with tears that threaten to fall at any moment. "I can't. I wish I could just erase this feeling I have for him. To just throw it away like if it was nothing. But I can't." I turned my head and looked out the window.  

   "What's the request you asked him?" "Souji, let's not talk about it, ok?" He shooked his head. "No can do. I want to know in case he doesn't go forward with this request of yours. So tell me." By now we were close to my home. "To hug me every day for the rest of the month." Souji didn't say anything. He parked his car in the empty space beside my car. "Has he been doing it?" "Yes." We both just staring ahead of us.

   He got out of the car first and made his way to my side, and opened the door for me. "Well, you should have just told me. I would do it anytime." He said hugging me. I hugged him back and smiled. "Thank you for everything." He hugged me tighter and sighed. "You know that for you I would do anything." He loosened the hug and move back just to see my face.

   I gave him a smile, I raised my hand and put it on his cheek. "Whenever I die-" " No. Don't say that. We can't give up just yet. There has to be something we can do. We can't lose hope like that." His green eyes started to tear up. This was the real Souji, the mean and sarcastic Souji was just a mask to cover his true self. I smiled and walked towards the front steps of the house.
 
    I sat down and patted the spot next to me. He followed and sat down also. I put my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. "There isn't much they can do. Even if they tried to do the surgery, I would probably end up not waking up. And now that the tumor grew bigger it's harder to do the surgery to remove it. That's why it isn't that I lost hope, I just have resignation." *sigh*

  He puts his arm around my shoulder and presses me towards him. "That's why, I want you to find happiness, I don't want you to be alone." I could feel him shaking his head. "You're my happiness and my companion. I don't care that you only see me as your friend. I'm going to stay by your side until..." " My last breath." I only felt him only nod. He then lowers his head and starts to cry. "Everything is going to be fine. Come on let's go inside. We will look like crazy people crying outside." I say wiping my tears and patting him on the leg.

    He wipes his tears and stands up. "Don't want to ruin this face with all they crying." I rolled my eyes. "More like the bad boy reputation." He pulls me up. "It's a gift and a curse." I start to laugh and punch his arm. "Yeah such a bad curse, that's scared girls off." "Well, it didn't work on you when we were 6 years old and I took your juice box away. So it might not be such a curse after all."

    We both laughed remembering how we met for the first time. "Yeah that's true but it did earn you a punch in the nose." I laugh and rolls his eyes. We walked inside the house and closing the door behind Souji. "Do you really want to see him again?" Realizing that he was talking about Sanosuke I look down. "It's ok I understand. Look I have to go out for a moment to get some things I need and will be right back. Call him, and maybe he will still do this request thing."

   I nod and he hugs me. "I'll be right back." He hugs me goodbye and leaves. I take my phone out of my pocket and find Sanosuke's missed calls. Am about to call him when I receive a call and its from him. "Hello?" "Sayuri! I've been worry about you? Are you ok?" I try not to panic and just breath. "Yes, am sorry I wasn't able to answer your calls." I didn't  like lying to him but for now, I had to. "Am just happy to hear your voice again. I thought you had changed your mind on the request." "No I haven't but if you want me to-" "No! I mean...lets meet up somewhere today, how about if we go to get coffee and talk."

Harada's POV

   It has been a week since I last saw Sayuri. I have tried calling her phone but she doesn't answer. And this is starting to worry me. I have even thought about calling Souji, but am sure the first thing he's going to say is for me to piss off. So today I decided to just show up at our home. Maybe she's there and we can talk. Am about to leave my apartment when Chizuru is at the door. "What are you doing here?" She doesn't answer my question instead she walks in my apartment and sits down. 

     "Chizuru I said what the hell are you doing here?" I close the door and walk towards the couch where she is sitting. She turns and smiles at me. "Sano, love are we really going to argue because of her?" She grabs my hand and pulls me down to her. "We are having a baby, we should be experiencing this together." I try to pull away from her but she pulls on me harder. "Chizuru, please just stop. I meant every word that day." She stops from pulling me and glares at me. 

     "If you actually loved her, you would have never had an affair with me. What makes you think she hasn't moved on. I mean we all know Souji has feeling for her. What if those feeling are corresponded by her? Besides you already gave her the papers for the divorce. She won't take you back, but I will." I shooked my head and moved away from her. 

   "I know I messed up, but I know she still loves me. And I will do everything I can for her forgiveness. She's not like you Chizuru." She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Fine then let's just say she's dying. Are you really just going to waste your time with her?" I glare at  her. "What the hell is wrong with you?" She laughs and "No need to get all serious. I was just saying, giving an example." She stood up and grabbed her purse and walked towards the door. "But just think about it. Cause I have something she will never give you." He said patting her belly, blowing a kiss at me and walked out.

    I paid no attention to what she said and left right behind her. I had to see Sayuri and Chizuru's words aren't going to stop me. As I get close to what use to be my home, I see that Souji and Sayuri just arrived. I park my car a few houses away, but still close enough to see them both. I see how Souji hugs her and she smiles. I can't help it feel jealous. I want to get out of the car and punch him and the face and take her with me. I try to control myself and keep on seeing how they are taking about something. 

    Sayuri walks to the front steps of the house and sits and he does the same. She rests her head on his shoulder, and he puts his arm around her. She looks happy. I get out of the car and walk towards them. They both stand up and get in the house laughing. "No...they can't be together." I stay there just staring at the empty space where they were just sitting. I turn around and walk toward my car. "I know she hasn't forgotten me. I know there is still hope for us." I get in my car and drive off.

     I drive to a coffee shop close by. When I get there I stay in  the car and think about what I saw. Sayuri looks happy, and Souji is the cause of it. But the memory of the last time I saw her gives me hope. I know she still loves me even when the only thing was hurt her. But if she gives me one last opportunity I know we can save our marriage. I decide to call her. 

   When she agrees of seeing each other, it brings more hope to me. Now i just have to wait for her to show up, and I will tell her that the divorce is a mistake. To forget everything and to try to start all over. But all my thoughts are shattered when I see here arrive with Souji.
