"How do i get sick again?"
I can't go school today, my head hurts since morning. Probably because the rain from yesterday but how?. I already dried myself out and i still get sick, this is not fair at all.
Today the world feels slow. Clocking sound more loud than it should be.
I wrapped myself in my pajamas and lay down on my bed, letting my eyes drift shut a little. Maybe I fell asleep. Maybe I was just daydreaming. But then
Ding Dong..
Bell ringing made me awake.
"Who...?"
I'm don't have the energy to talk to people. Even then i still walk towards the door and open then door... When i open the door...
"Fukamizu...??"
She standing there, holding a plastic bag, she looks a bit worried.
"Hey, i heard from your classmate that you were sick so i came to your house"
"I hope i'm not bothering you or anything" Fukamizu Says while looking worried.
I don't know what is this feeling in my heart but... it feels... warm.
"No you're not a bother... come in"
She sit down on the couch in the living room, Her hand picked out orange, sports drink from the plastic.
"Here... this might help you recover better" Fukamizu said.
"Oh... Thanks" Sakura replied.
We didn't talk much but the silence between us feels comfortable. We didn't feel the need to chat. Knowing that she's there with me is enough.
My head was still heavy, but i still managed it.
"Would you like some tea? I can make it for you." Fukamizu suddenly said.
I looked at her, a bit shocked. But i can't refuse it.
"If it's not a bother to you...."
"Okay i'll make some" Fukamizu said while nodding
She went to kitchen. The sound of boiling water made the atmosphere around the house feels more alive. Even though it's only for a moment... This house doesn't feel to silence.
When she came back, she offered me a warm cup of tea. Our hand touch a little, even though it's only for a moment... i feel like the time stop moving.
I inhaled the aroma of the tea. fragrant, warm, calming.
"Thanks again... for this." Sakura said.
She sit beside me, not too close. But enough to feel that she's beside me.
"I didn't know you were coming." Sakura said
"I was worried since you didn't go to school, after i knew that you were sick i came into your house." Fukamizu Replied.
"You know you could have text me that you were sick."
"I don't like to make people worried" Sakura says.
"It's more worrying if you didn't tell people that you were sick." Fukamizu replied.
Her words were sincere... Making me want to try to rely on others more...
I look at the window. The rain has not yet fallen, but the sky seems to be hanging itself, waiting for the moment to fall.
Somehow... it feels peaceful. I know it's not because tea or my body recovering... It's because of her right here with me.
"Fukamizu..."
"Hm?"
"Can you stay here a bit longer?..." Sakura says.
"Sure, if you want." Fukamizu replied while smiling softly
I leaned back against the pillow, my body still weak, but... my heart was calm. Slowly, my eyelids began to close. And for the first time since I fell ill I was able to sleep peacefully.
Because she was here with me.
