Looking For Murder
Goodbye Dear

When Nobou's family was hosting the funeral ceremony, in a different place, Sora had been on board a Boeing 777, a Japan Airline airline that had taken off from Kansai international airport. Sitting alone in economy class, Sora headed to California, United States. Through the window of the plane, the pregnant woman let go as far as possible while gently rubbing her slightly protruding stomach. The expanse of the blue sky was decorated with white clouds of various kinds, like sheep playing in a vast meadow. At an altitude of 30,000 feet, Sora brought despair to leave his hometown to start a new life in the land of people.

"Good bye, honey. Sorry if my departure would hurt your heart. I will never forget all your kindness and sacrifice for me. Be happy. Even without me on the side."

Flashbacks

Returning from the women's room at that time, Sora decided to buy a test pack at a pharmacy with a variety of different brands. The words Hikari spoke touched his curiosity. From the bottom of her heart, Sora wished it wasn't true. However, in reality all of those tools show the same results. To further convince herself, Sora decides to meet one of her colleagues, Megumi Igarashi, an obstetrician.

"Hello Sora San! Let's see your baby with the USG."

"Wait a minute, Doc. Am I really pregnant?"

"From the results of the Beta HCG test (test to detect pregnancy hormones), you are positive for pregnancy. And calculated from the cycle comes the moon

lastly, the pregnancy should have entered the sixth week."

"So, the previous results using the test pack were not wrong? "

"Actually the test pack sold in public pharmacies is accurate enough to check for pregnancy. False positive results are rare. Unless you've just had a miscarriage or are taking certain drugs."

Sora was speechless with a face of disbelief.

"Why are you so surprised ? Did you and your boyfriend not plan this pregnancy?" Ask Megumi softly.

"Yes, Doc." Sora's face bowed.

"Hm. You better say it soon. Because a woman who is pregnant really needs system support from the closest people, especially from a partner. What matters now, your content must be healthy. Because it has entered the sixth week, the heart rate should have been detected. Wanna try to hear? "

Hearing Megumi's explanation, Sora fell silent.

"Listen to this heartbeat." Megumi's doctor then applied a special gel to Sora's stomach, to prevent friction between the skin and the transducer. The gel also serves to facilitate the delivery of sound waves into the body. After that he starts to move and presses the transducer slightly into Sora's lower abdomen.

The Duk Duk.. The Duk Duk...The Duk Duk...

The sound of fetal heartbeat is heard from the ultrasound device. Heart's shaking. Her maternal conscience is tangled. The affection, wanting to possess and protect that helpless creature, just appeared.

After the USG, Sora sat back in the consultation chair in front of the doctor's desk.

"How are you doing now?"

"Lately I've been feeling nauseous and have a hard time eating."

" No problem, it is common during the first trimester of pregnancy. The important thing is that you should not be exhausted and have a lot of thoughts. Nutritional intake should also be maintained. Oh yea. The first trimester is still broken. So be careful if you want to connect with a partner. Wear safety and don't style weird."

The various notes given by his colleagues were only ordinary to make Sora grimace. Especially the weird part. Megumi's. Megumi's. If only you knew...

Of all the tests, it clearly shows that she is pregnant. In her womb is currently growing a fetus, the fruit of her forbidden relationship with Lieutenant Kaoru at that time. Sora was certain that it was Kaoru's embryo. Because he never had sex with any man.

For now, she is not ready to be a mother, for at least that is never in her future plans. She is also not ready for Hikari's reaction if she knows about her pregnancy. Sora knows for sure that Hikari hates betrayal. This pregnancy is one proof, she has betrayed him. Sora really could not see the look on Hikari's disappointed face. To tell Kaoru that was also impossible. They currently have nothing to do but friendship. Sora is also afraid, if it turns out Kaoru has a lover. Of course the presence of himself and the fetus in the womb, will damage their relationship. The best way out of it all is to go as far as possible. Start a new life in a new place.

Shortly after she decided to resign from the hospital, Sora got a job offer as an assistant professor as well as a scholarship to continue his studies from the alma mater of the University of California, San Francisco. While waiting for her powerful fetus to fly, Sora lives with her aunt in Tsurui, a small village located east of Hokkaido, 1,727.4 km from Osaka.

Netra Sora glazed. Slowly but surely the clear granules came down from his eye peluk. With his fingers he wiped the tears that soaked his cheeks.

"Are You, OK?" Asked the caucasian man, brown-eyed with a firm line on his chin, who was sitting next to Sora. With a sincere smile the bespectacled man thrust out the handkerchief he took from inside his jacket pocket. Though hesitant, Sora took the light blue handkerchief.

"Thank you." Sora tried to smile. On his swab the handkerchief to his wet eyes. Still with a smile decorating his lips, the man refocused his attention on the thick book he had in his hand.

For more than 10 hours, the Sora had to be in the air, until at last, the wide-bodied iron bird landed seamlessly at the San Francisco International Air Port.

This is where it is now, in San Francisco. A city located in the northern part of California that is home of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). UCSF is a public university, research university and land-grant university in San Francisco, California. UCSF is part of the University of California system dedicated entirely to health sciences. UCSF is a major centre for medical and biological research and teaching. The University of California is a public research university whose campuses are spread throughout California, including Berkeley, Irvine, Davis, Merced, Los Angeles, Riverside, Santa Barbara, San Diego, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz. The main campus is in Berkeley.

College while working is not easy for Sora. Especially when you are doing two bodies. As a lecturer assistant, Sora's task could not be said to be simple. He must replace the lecturer teaching in the classroom, help the preparation of syllabus for the next semester, accompany student research, help the lecturer's research process. As a lecturer assistant, Sora must also be ready to standby if needed at any time. Automatic pauses for yourself will be reduced. If there are errors in the implementation of the task must be ready for revision, revision and revision. For that he must be clever to divide the time between work and his own studies.

Sora was very grateful, Professor Jylan Jackson was a very understanding boss. The charismatic man turned out to be the same person as the man who gave a handkerchief to Sora while on the plane.
