Please.. Hang On, Takeshi
In one of Tokyo's hospital, Hiroshi walks back and forth anxiously at the emergency room's aisle while is biting his thumb nail. "Come on, why does it take so long ?" he grumbles to himself while glares and raises his hand up as talking to God. Occasionally he peeks through the small glass window on the door that limits himself from where Takeshi is being examined.
The vibration in his pocket makes Hiroshi jumps but he immediately grabs the cellular who caused the vibration and answers the call shouting, "Hello!" His expression is drastically changed once he knows who is calling.
"No.. not yet, Boss. He is still unconscious.. Yes, he is in the emergency room now, the doctor is with him. I will notice you immediately when I got the news." Right after that Hisroshi hangs up the call and sighs.

Xiao Ping turns her body, back facing to Er Hua who has slept beside her. While holding the booster tight, she looks at the giant poster of Takeshi that covers almost all the wall across. Her face shows how worry she is.
She recalls the accident when Takeshi suddenly fainted on the stage. In a second after, the award show turned to chaos. The VVIP audiences mumbled while the fans panicky screamed, tried to go down, making everything worse. A man seemed like Takeshi's assistant helped by some crews quickly went to the stage and carried while protecting Takeshi out of the stage. Reporters pressed toward the stage, trying to perpetuate the rare moment. They seemed didn't concern about Takeshi, all they cared was pictures that would accompany tomorrow's headline. That was all showed by the TV station before it was cut by advertisement. The two girls had no more intention to watch. They were too worried of Takeshi's condition.
Xiao Ping bites her lower lip, suppressing her heart that suddenly beats so hard. "Takeshi, how are you now ?" she whispers with looking far ahead.
---------------------
Takeshi lays unconscious on the hospital's bed. His back of left hand has infusion needle, dripping the liquid into his weak body. Hiroshi sits pensively beside him. His face still has the same worry. Once in seconds Hiroshi's eyes glare to the green curtain that covering the space, waiting for the doctor's appearance to tell the result of examination, then back to Takeshi that still has no sign to wake up.
--------------------------
Xiao Ping closes her eyes, not for sleeping. "God, please protect Takeshi... I beg you.. At this moment, that is the only thing I want. I don't want anything beside his health," Xiao Ping prays inside. She prays so sincere until tears running through her cheek.
---------------------
Takeshi is still unconscious on his bed at the emergency room while Hiroshi stands beside his bed, talking to a doctor. "So, he is not seriously ill, right, doc ?" Hiroshi asks in hope.
The doctor smiles to calm him down. "You can say it that way. The temporary diagnosis result said that it is caused by overwrought and malnutrition," the doctor is reading the diagnosis notes on his hand. "But, the full report can only be retrieved after the blood and urine tests are finished," he adds.
Hiroshi smiles in relieved. After saying thank you and waits the doctor to leave, Hiroshi turns his body to Takeshi and looks at him in pity.
---------------------
"Takeshi, hang on... please, hang on, Takeshi," Xiao Ping repeats the words over and over like a mantra. Her heart is still worry, but her eyes are already heavy due to the amount of tears she has had. Slowly her eyes close.
"Takeshi, I'm sure you can hang on," Xiao Ping whispers before she completely asleep. In almost the same time on Tokyo, Takeshi's closing eyes are starting to move. Then slowly Takeshi opens his eyes. After able to focus his sight, Takeshi replies Hiroshi's smile weakly.
