Snow In December
125

Kuriyama is not a big city, it's just that the vast expanse is always overgrown with beautiful yellow chrysanthemums.

"Can I come with you." Speak to Ren slowly.

Hearing Ren's words certainly made Hinana and Aoyama surprised. Ren had forgotten the events of that time.

"I never had time to deliver Izumi's departure because I was busy with my company. Now I want to visit him. Izumi was also my friend when I was in the hospital." Ren said again.

Hinana begins to realize that Ren is truly a kind-hearted person. Ren is able to make peace with his circumstances after learning that his lover Aoyama is dead.

"Aoyama kun, didn't you promise to introduce me to Sakura?" Hinana spoke the words of Ren.

"We'll both enjoy chrysanthemum flowers, isn't that nice." Ren sat down next to Aoyama and persuaded her.

"HUH... Are you guys sure? His funeral is on the hill. Ren mana can climb up." Aoyama replied in a slightly loud voice, annoyed by the words of her two friends who were sulking along.

"Truely, lately I have been feeling tired. I'm sorry Izumi couldn't drive you and visit you."

Sura Ren sounded weakened, seemingly desperate for not being able to leave. Ren immediately moved to his bed and read the new book Hinana bought.

"Hey... Is there no other way to get there?" Hinana approached Aoyama and spoke in a whisper.

"Are you stupid? The cemetery was once on a hill. To get there you have to walk. " Aoyama replied in a whisper so that Ren would not listen.

"I've seen my father come to my late uncle's funeral. My dad was having a broken bone, but it could have gone up. I'm sure there's a way."

Hinana still forces Aoyama to find a solution. Perhaps Ren's goal was not to go to the funeral as well, but rather to get out of the hospital

"You can take Ren down the hill. Maybe Ren just wants out of the hospital." Whisper Hinana once again.

"Alright, you can go with me but don't bother." Aoyama's words this time did not whisper and Ren could hear them.

"really?" Ren asked with wide-open eyes.

"But you have to ask Seto sensei and the hospital for permission. The burial place is on the hill, if you can't climb it's best to wait downstairs with Hinana." Aoyama tells Ren, and Ren looks very excited as Aoyama takes him away.

"Stupid time to Seto sensei, we have Hinana to seduce him. I won't bother you." Ren said with great excitement.

"Ehhhh why should I too." Pekik Hinana's.

"This hospital belongs to your mother." Ren and Aoyama said simultaneously. While Hinana can only lay her back on the sofa because of two men who use it.

"When you persuaded me you should have thought about it."

Aoyama whispered to Hinana and smiled triumphantly.

"I'm stupid to not think that far. "

Grouse Hinana and lay her back on the sofa.

...****************...

The next day Hinana went to Seto's doctor's office.

"Sumimasen (excuse me)." Hinana knocks on the door and enters Seto's doctor's room.

"Hinana chan, what brings you here." Seto asked and took off his glasses.

"There's something I want to tell you." Hinana said doubtfully.

"All right tell me. Is this about Ren?"

Guess doctor Seto and Hinana nodded confirming.

"HUH??? Why go there? It's also a long way from the hospital."

"Ren wanted to visit his friend's grave and it was in Kuriyama. Me and Aoyama will also be there to accompany Ren." Hinana said quickly and mentioned Aoyama's name in order for Seto to allow it.

"Hinana, you know that the cemetery is on a hill. Ren's current condition does not allow to be there. Ren often felt tired even though he did not do strenuous activities. Even his body had slowly swelled up."

Seto tells Ren's condition to Hinana. Although Hinana is not a member of the Ren family, Seto still tells the condition of his patients.

"Puffed?" Peeked Hinana in surprise.

"Hum yes. When the heart cannot pump blood properly, one of its bodies will experience swelling. It's gradual, until Ren's whole body gets bruised."

Hinana was very surprised to hear the explanation from Dr. Seto. Indeed, he saw Ren's body lately began to fat, and Hinana had pinched both cheeks. It's just that Hinana was not aware if it was the result of the disease suffered by Ren.

Hinana also feels guilty for calling Ren a gamoi.

"Is that so."

"If it's close to the hospital, maybe I'll let it go." Reply Seto back.

"But Seto sensei. His friend Ren is his girlfriend Aoyama. She was named Izumi Sakura who died from the same illness as Ren. After hearing Aoyama about to visit Izumi's grave, Ren was immediately shocked and wanted to accompany her. This is just my opinion, maybe Ren is still worried about Aoyama." Hinana tells.

Seto remained silent for a moment. He also remembers Aoyama shouting and saying that Ren was his only friend.

"I've wanted to have a friend for so long, but when Ren wants to be my friend, why did he leave me." Aoyama said then fell down because he could not fight his Senior.

"I don't have anyone. My father left me and my mother died. Even my girlfriend died first. My only family is Aunt Larisa, so I have to be kind to her daughter." Aoyama replied as Seto asked the identity of his apprentice doctor.

.

.

"Sensei I beg for his help, you can allow Ren to go with me which is quite a distance away. Just this once I beg you....!" Hinana was still trying to beg Seto to allow her.

"But Hinana... If the funeral has to go up the hill and Ren can no longer move like he used to."

"Then I'll tell him not to go up to the funeral. Ren and I can wait for Aoyama downstairs. That way Ren probably won't worry about Aoyama. I beg Sensei...." Hinana pleaded with both hands and tried to convince Seto.

"All right." Said Seto and made Hinana's eyes sparkle because his efforts succeeded.

"But I'll have nurse Kishi accompany you." Continue Seto and retrieve his permission book.

"Ehh why should I go with nurse Kishi Murakami. Isn't Aoyama enough, Aoyama's a doctor." Hinana Protest

"To be on guard. And also to make sure Ren doesn't break the rules." Doctor Seto replied firmly.

"All right." Hinana surrendered.

"Make sure you all have to come back before nightfall. If anything happens to Ren, then next I won't let Ren out of the hospital again. Understood..."

Seto gave his license and stuck it on Hinana's forehead hard.

"Wakarimasu (i understand). Seto sensei leave everything to me. I'll take care of Ren at his best. Jaa ne (me see you)."

Hinana smiled happily and walked out of Seto's room. He has obtained a license from Dr. Seto.
