Snow In December
88 Is not a sibling

Five years ago after the death of doctor Nakamura, the hospital mutated doctor Seto to replace him.

"Watashi wa Seto's. Yoroshiku onegaisimasu (name Seto, nice to meet you)." said Doker Seto introduced himself to patients with heart disease, because he is a heart specialist.

"Sensei, I'll bother you. Don't get angry often." said one of the young men with a cheerful smile. He was wearing casual clothes with his flat hat, Seto thought that the young man was one of the guardians of the patient here.

"I'm a good person, so it's impossible to scold a patient." Seto defended himself and returned the young man's smile.

The second day Seto worked, he was so surprised that the young man was one of his patients. With chronic heart disease, the young man could only live the rest of his life. The young man is Renchiro Koizumi, who is unfortunate if his life destiny is like this.*

"Are you really ready, Ren? I want your medical history to be a hundred percent wrong." Seto muttered that his tears had already fallen.

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

Hinana parked her car and walked towards the apartment. Today he thought it was nice to have seen Ren like before.

"Hinana, why don't you take me to lunch? Didn't you promise." Her father screamed as Hinana just walked into her apartment.

"I'm sorry, I had this business" Hinana replied without guilt. "Eh dad bought me sashimi? It looks delicious." Hinana was approaching the dining table.

"Itadaki.." as Hinana was about to eat, her father suddenly picked up the dish that was in front of Hinana. "Eh why?"

"You're this. We wait for Aoyama, he's still buying drinks." Hinana's Father.

"Eh, you're taking Aoyama out to dinner?"

"of course. Go change your clothes first."

"Good (yes)." With a lazy voice Hinana went to her room and changed her clothes. While his father was still struggling in the kitchen to make dessert.

"ITADAKIMASU" said Hinana, Aoyama and Aoi Hinana's father. They all enjoyed the food served by Hinana's father.

"Hum Oishi's. I really like uni (sea urchins)." Hinana really enjoyed eating it because for a long time she did not eat sashimi let alone made by her father who pieces of fish is very thick.

"You like it, eat a lot." Hinana's father added pieces of uni to Hinana's bowl.

"By the way when will uncle be back in Tokyo?" asked Aoyama on the sidelines to eat her food.

"Maybe tomorrow, kill Ryusei if I take too long on vacation."

"Why a minute? Don't you want to visit aunt Miyo first." said Hinana with her mouth still full of food.

"Did you still miss me? But why didn't you admit I was your father." Aoi grew increasingly upset and added salmon slices to Hinana's bowl.

"Woh, stop dad you're gonna make me full."

Meanwhile Aoyama just laughed to see the behavior of Hinana and her father. The middle-aged person in front of him was the one who helped him until now, I don't know what would be Aoyama's life if the Hinana family did not help him.

Night has changed morning, today Hinana has no office job. Waiting for the day of departure to Tokyo.

"Ohayogozaimasu (good morning)." Greet Hinana with yawning. He went into the kitchen and got some drinking water.

"Ohayou, would you like some breakfast?" ask her father who is making breakfast.

"I'm still full, it's all thanks to my father giving me food. Oh yeah last night did you stay in Aoyama's room?"

"No, dad came home last night. Yesterday I met your boss and chatted late into the night. Why?"

"Nothing, are you with Jouji san?" hinana asked once more and made a cup of coffee for her and her father.

"Yes, I used to work with him. Jouji said you were close to his son is that true?"

"hum. Both of his sons work in the office as well. But finally his first son left because he wanted to become a famous photographer. It's." Hinana handed over the cup of coffee made earlier.

"Of course two, Shota and Ren. Why don't you know, when you met him last night."

Hinana went to the bathroom because this morning she had promised Arumi to visit Ren.

"I know his wife couldn't get pregnant again that time, but I don't know." murmured Aoi but Hinana could still hear him.

Out of curiosity Hinana undoes her intention to take a bath and approach her father.

"What did you say?" Ask Hinana with a full face.

"Nothing."

"There's... I can still hear it."

"Oh that, about thirty years ago father made a house with a plan that is in accordance with expectations. His son died when he was six months old and his wife was diagnosed with ovarian cancer so it was difficult to get pregnant again. Because his wife is constantly sad, Jouji san makes a big house to comfort his wife."

Aoi recounts her memories with Jouji when he was still an architect. Although Aoi eventually works in the family company, she once made several houses with the help of her friend Maira.

"Died?" pekik Hinana was shocked.

"Yes, his son had been diagnosed with acute heart failure that time."

"So Shota has a sister." Hinana murmured she did not believe what her father said.

"Shota??" asked Aoi who heard. "Oh yeah Jouji found Shota left behind by his parents near the temple, his wife was very happy and adopted him."

"Ehhh, so Shota isn't Mr Jouji's real son? Are they not brothers?" hinana's eyes widened when she heard her father's explanation she was really surprised to hear it.

" It may be like that, but you better not tell anyone, I doubt if the Jouji you met is really Jouji's old friend" said Aoi and then drank a cup of coffee made by her daughter.

Hinana still did not believe what her father said. So all this time Shota and Ren were not siblings. Jouji's first son died of heart disease and now Ren also suffers from the same disease.

"I'll go first." Hinana said goodbye to her father who was struggling on his laptop.

"Be careful on the road."

"Are you going home today? " ask Hinana before leaving her apartment.

"Let's go visit Aoyama at the hospital. Why?"

"Hum no, otousan (father) better not say anything to Aoyama." Hinana is still worried if Aoyama finds out that her brother and father are in Japan.

"Just calm. Go you'll be late for work."

"Jaa ne (bye)." after saying goodbye Hinana immediately met Arumi who was waiting for her in front of the lobby.

Mereja both set off in Arumi's car, not only that Arumi also brought some food for Ren.

"That's Tsubaki" said Arumi and sidestepped her car to Tsubaki.

"Eh Tsubaki's coming too?"

"Of course."

"Why? Why do you see me like that." Tsubaki who just got into the car was astonished by Hinana's puzzled expression.

"Nothing, it's just that Ren said if you go there you'll make a noise." Answer Hinana.

"I've said it so, but Tsubaki still insists on me. Just leave Hinana." Arumi gave a small laugh as she explained to Hinana, then she focused on her drive.
