Ep 10

9:55 pm.

Now this is the last story. I wish you again merry Christmas in advance and have a lot of fun until tomorrow. This is your RJ AKIRA and you are listening to Cool F.M. This song is for everyone. Bye bye.

Song started. Mic sound diminished. Akihito went out. OFF AIR.

That's a really sad story there Akihito kun. Said sonoko san.

Akihito smiles lightly. It was what I learned from a friend and used here.

All the best. I am rooting for the kid in your story. Said and went in to take up the next show on the radio station.

Thank you very much and bows Akihito.

Bye bye said sonoko while entering the radio channel room.

Akihito smiles and books a cab to go to the orphanage to celebrate Christmas with the kids of the orphanage and to gift pack the gifts which he and nora bought in the morning.

Cab came. Akihito got in and the cab started. Cab came out.

Niel is waiting patiently and the cab which Akihito got in came out of the radio station. Niel followed the car curiously and prayed to meet Akira or any girl. The cab stopped at the xxx orphanage. Niel quietly saw but again Akihito got out.

Akihito got out and went into the orphanage.

Niel was devastated completely and went home.

Akihito and Nora prayed, and it's already 12:00 Am. They cut cake with everyone, eat, drink and celebrate by sharing gifts. After a while Since it's already late the kids went to sleep. Akihito and Nora and some orphanage teenagers came with some cakes and toys, quilts, glows, sweat shirts and shared with kids, lone persons, beggars, on the streets.

Akihito stayed at an orphanage. He and others slept late in the morning. Akihito got up and went with the kids to a nearby mountain for the kids to play snow gliding.

Around 08:00 clock he reached home and rested and got ready and reached the radio station on time.

Hi hello. Merry Christmas to all the listeners. Today went by really quickly but not to worry it will become hot soon because of our special Christmas theme. So do you want to listen to today's theme... well before that tell me whose wish came true or not. My wish had already come true. I hope you're all wishes come true too. So let's get to our theme. What our theme is...! I am going to ask some questions, and you have to answer us. Whoever answers first we will ask their address after the end of the show and send their gift along with a signature of mine packed specially by me on tomorrow morning. What do you think? Do you like our theme? It will be as hot as summer heat to get to the first to send a reply? I told you right guys. So let's get started.

Loudly Akira's voice is coming from the radio. Niel also took his phone so that at least he could get to meet here. Having her Sign is a good gift behalf of her is what Niel is thinking. Niel replied quickly as Akira started narrating the questions. Time went by. Niel sincerely replied to answers throughout the show.

After a while the show was completed but no one called him.

Akihito got out after the show and took time to pack the gifts with the help of Sana san and others. While packing they chatted about how their Christmas went. Others got bewildered by Akihito's story about orphanage kids and their celebrations.

He completed and came home. Akihito was feeling tired, so he started drinking and became drunk.

Niel was not feeling well, so he wanted to drink more, so he called his friend and he didn't pick up. He dialed Akihito.

Akihito's phone is ringing.

Hello who is this spoken in Akira voice subconsciously.

Professor Ran is that you...? Asked Niel.

Yes, this is Akihito Ranzaku. Who is speaking...? Asked Akihito. And fell asleep.

Professor Ran san...? Professor. Hello. As there is no voice Niel cut off the phone and slept.

Morning came. Niel got up and went to his work. At lunchtime. Ash called niel and is speaking. Hm! I called others at night to go for drinks, but none took the phone call of mine now you remembered me guys. I will kick your buts after the start of our second semester. Remember it you ditched me for drinks. After completing the call with ash he checks again who he called.

Well I called a few. Wait why did I call professor…? He listened the recording of professor Ran, and the whole conversation is in Akira voice. Aki...hito Ra...zaku san... Akira voice...? Niel was shocked is there any app which can be spoken in that voice.? He searched all apps but couldn't find anything. Like last time it could be a frequency disturbance, but the heart is not listening. And the story which Akira talked about the day before yesterday reminded him in his mind.

It will not be so easy to meet Akira but Niel thinks professor Ran knows Akira is what the heart is saying which is disturbing him.

So Niel called Akihito.

Ringing. Hello this is Akihito Ranzaku. I am unavailable right now. Please inform me I will call you back later.

Cue cue voice calling machine started recording.

Professor Ran san as a thanks for helping me for the music sheets I want to treat you to food and drinks tonight. Please be available. I will pick you up professor.

Call cut.

Akihito was just getting up by the noises of automatic voice calls.

I got up and got refreshed and came to listen to the voice call recordings.

Brother are you drunk. I called you and rang the doorbell like hell of the times. Idiot. Eat breakfast, lunch which I put in the fridge. I am going on a date with my boyfriend Kano Ichino san.

Don't bother calling him and disturb us to know everything which he does. Get it and go eat it. I want my fridge to be empty ok. And Suzana San said ok to you so call her and go on a date or something don't lose her. She is waiting for your reply said Nora.

Second call recording from student Niel starting:

Professor Ran san as a thanks for helping me for the music sheets I want to treat you to food and drinks tonight. Please be available. I will pick you up professor.

What should I do with Suzana san...? Should I accept her...?

He came to the Nora apartment and ate it. The day went by, the show was completed and Akihito got in a cab to his apartment.

Hello professor Ran said Niel by standing at the entrance of the Akihito apartment.

Hello Niel. Actually I forgot to reply. Said Akihito.

It's alright. I prepared a quiet meal, some dishes and drinks for us as a thanks for helping me professor. So shall we go. Said Niel.

Alright said Akihito.

Both came to Niel's house and enjoyed the food on the dining table. And sat on the sofa in the second bedroom to drink wine and beer.

Niel said "so professor Ran" but cut off the middle by Akihito.

I am not in college so call me Ranzaku san. It will be lighter for me too said Akihito.

So Ranzaku san which will you drink beer, Vodka, Gin, Rum, whiskey, scotch, wine, tequila....? Asked Niel.

May be Vodka... Said Akihito.

Ok. Niel prepared vodka shorts and put them on the table along with some side dishes.

Cheers both drank.

Akihito drank 4 shots back to back. While Niel is watching Akihito to get drunk.

MM Ranzaku san are you alright asked Niel.

Akihito got silent.

Ranzaku san....? Asked again....?

Hmmmm a low sound came from Akihito's throat.

Do you know Akira from Cool F.M radio station. Asked Niel.

That's me Akihito replied using Akira's voice.

Wait for this voice. Niel wasn't daydreaming. He was not even drunk. Akihito is not using his phone either then this voice....? AKIRA voice from Akihito Ranzaku san....?

Niel took his phone and started video recording of Akihito.

Are you drunk AKIRA asked Niel.

Yes, I am drunk. Said Akihito.

Why did you have this female voice Akira...? Asked Niel.

Because this is my voice and every one criticized me because of it. So I use my phone and never speak outside. Said Akihito.

Why are you deceiving all your listeners by using a female voice? Do you have any consciousness? Asked Niel.

I started at a radio station to gain money, but I never received anyone. Said Niel.

Have you ever thought someone will love Akira voice and goes crazy to meet her and propose to marry her? Asked Niel.

It's impossible. My friend is the proprietor of the Radio station so no one can see me nor touch me. In case there are people who want to marry a person by listening to the voice only I will marry them, but I am already going to get engaged with Suzana Aayana hiko san who proposed to me as I really am. Who wants to live with me even knowing my disabilities. I want to live and die with her just because she accepted me as I am which made me really a lucky person. So there is no one who will come for me Akihito Ranzaku alias AKIRA. Others love Akira but not Akihito. Simply I want someone to love me as Akihito. Said Akihito with a depressed tone.

After listening to Akihito ramble Niel's mind becomes complicated. Are you alright with men? If they accept you as Akihito asked Niel.

I am alright as long as they love me, cherish me I will follow their death also because we have to give what we receive that's what I follow said Akihito.

You told a story 2 days earlier whose story is that...? Asked Niel.

Obviously it's mine. I wanted to let them know that even in this dark world of mine I am still searching for light. Even a bit of hope can ignite some others' life that is the reason I shared it. Said Akihito and slept on the sofa.

Niel was dazed and couldn't think straight. He lifted the sides of sofa leaver and extended to use as a bed. He cleared the table and put a quilt on Akihito and slept in his room.

It got late, but Niel wasn't able to sleep due to the shock. Akihito Ranzaku is AKIRA.... I thought both knew each other,, but both are one person.... I never thought it would be like this? I got deceived,, but he is right on his side. I mean everyone thinks weird if I got a man built,, but a female voice attached to it for the rest of the life. It will be only criticisms, humiliation, lone, and devastated. But he is also deceiving like using her voice and introducing himself as a female... I was totally fooled. I was obsessed with meeting you, but you are a man?

Should I stop myself liking you? I tried my best to meet you but after I am meeting you like this I got even more discouraged. what should I do? I like women but never tried to with men and I never thought you would be a male and that too a professor from my college...? I crazily prayed to meet you everyday and tried my best to get you signature as a Christmas gift but now I can't stop thinking why in the world this happened to me...? And I never imagined that a male...? if I want to try to get to know you but you are getting engaged, marriage... You already have someone you want to spend you life with then what about me? What do I do? Is this fate?
