Limited Time Girl's
Chapter 19's

A flash of events was spinning in my head. There was a cottage in the middle of the forest, and then slowly two figures of little girls were seen curled up inside the cottage.

One of the girls had long hair and was in a twin tail pigtail while the other was in a pony tail pigtail. The two girls were seen protecting each other. They were digging a hole in the ground so that their bodies could come out.

‘hmm? What is this memory of the abduction that has been experienced ‘Risa’. seems to be somehow because of what ‘Risa’ had forgotten this incident’

I refocused my attention on the two girls. A few minutes later they managed to get out, but a small ‘Risa’ accidentally nudged a paint can that caused a loud enough sound to make the kidnapper numbering two people came to check on them.

Quickly little Reina pulled the hand of ‘Risa’, they ran as fast and as far as possible, the kidnappers were still chasing. Then suddenly Reina fell down because of a fairly large tree root.

Reina yells asking ‘Risa’ to help her. But ‘Risa’ is just silent, she wants to help but is scared. Until finally ‘Risa’ heard a police car siren. He ran to find the policemen and was lucky that he met four policemen a few minutes later on patrol

“police pack! Please! , my friend and I had a kidnapping, we got out but my friend got caught by them again. Their cottage is in the middle of the forest, please save my friend” said ‘Risa’ clearly and cascading

The police looked surprised but did not dare to underestimate his nonsense, because kidnapping cases often occur in recent years. One of the four policemen kneels in front of ‘Risa’. “can you show me the way, son?”

‘Risa’ nodded he also led the policemen to the cottage. “it was there pak” he pointed towards the cottage. The police looked at each other then three of them sneaked towards the cottage while one of them was in charge of protecting ‘Risa’.

“nak, are you okay?” ask the police sir who is with ‘Risa’

The girl's face turned red and her breath was panting. Because ‘Risa’ did not reply, the police put the back of his hand on the forehead ‘Risa’. “astaga you have a fever!. Come on dad will take you to klinik”

‘Risa’ shakes. “does not want, I want..” greeting ‘Risa’ hanging but he has fainted and immediately brought by the Police to the clinic. After checking ‘Risa’ taken to an Orphanage. They take good care of ‘Risa’.

‘then what about Reina? What the hell happened to him? Since this is the memory of ‘Risa’ it seems like I can only see from his point of view only.’

‘Risa’ woke up a few hours later. It seemed like he immediately remembered Reina. The state of his room is currently very quiet, ‘Risa’ directly down from his mattress. But a little staggered because of his fever that had not healed. He immediately walked out of the Orphanage area.

He walked along the road, “ah, I forgot the road to the cottage... Did I just go back? Well, where am I now? After my history, go to the cottage can not, back to the orphanage is also too far” ‘Risa’ looks confused.

Since he came out of the orphanage for months he has been walking without direction, until he meets people who use small children to work.

‘Risa’ had worked for 4 months with those people, because when he first worked he was still exposed to fever and did not get good treatment, physical ‘Risa’ getting worse. Then when he fainted on the side of the road he was found by Mrs Ueda.

I drew a conclusion, so the first time ‘Risa’ met Mrs Ueda she had a high fever and it seemed to make her lose some of her memories.

Then the reason why Reina thought ‘Risa’ left her was because ‘Risa’ was no longer in the orphanage when she came.

“..sa!”

“Risa! realize what is wrong with you?!”

“hah..hah..hah” my breath hunts, the memory instantly disappears and now I see Reina who seems very worried about me.

I looked at Reina. ‘tell someone you can trust’ suddenly Zhao Lei's words flashed through my head.

‘it looks like Reina is the right person for the role’

I thought for a moment, Reina was still looking at me, implied by the worry of her gaze. Seeing that I smiled and increasingly made Reina show a dull look.

“Reina, there's something I want to tell you. It's up to you to believe it or not, I just want to say these two words to you..” I sighed for a while. “sorry and thank you”.

“sorry for making you feel abandoned, and sorry for using you. Then thank you for still wanting to meet me, albeit with different intentions but at least you still remember me, and thank you for helping me.

“what do you mean exactly? You said like you'd go far?” ask Reina

I smiled at him, my arms still I hid behind my back “12 years ago when I left the parlour actually I wanted to find you, I walked back to the cottage but I forgot the road to get there, then it was too far from the parlor so I couldn't go back. After that I live on the street, hoping to meet you.

But I had no news of you at all until I met the late Lady Ueda and was adopted by him. I had a high fever back then until my memory of you and the kidnapping just disappeared. I'm really sorry Reina, I didn't mean to forget you. I wouldn't blame you if you were now memben-.”.

Brucks

My words were cut off when Reina suddenly hugged me. The girl even cried and increasingly tightened her embrace on me. I wanted to return his embrace but my palm was injured, and even his blood was still rushing. I was afraid to make him worry even more and was also afraid of dirtying the clothes he was wearing. And for sure it will make Yuuta and Fanxing suspicious.

“be-is that really Risa?..ja-so all this time not only am I looking for you, but you are also looking for me?” Reina sobbed, even her words became stammering.

Still in a position hugged by Reina, I nodded. At once Reina's cry became more and more.

“shh shh already, why are you crying like this, hm?” I said to calm him down but didn't pat him on the shoulder.

“forgive me Risa, I have made you lose the trust of Fanxing and Yuuta, sorry also for destroying your relationship with the Ueda family and YiZhan”

“it's okay, I'm just saying you did it. Then this is what I want to tell you, but what if we chat while sitting down? I ache stand up keep”

“please..”.

We also shifted a little to choose a comfortable place to sit. The break was actually over, but since I felt that this would be my last, I had to settle this matter. And only Reina I could hope for

“shh auwh” I groaned because the glass puncture wound had accidentally rubbed against the grass.

“what's Ri-... Jeez your hand! Since when is this?! How did you get hit by this broken glass?”

Reina grasped my hand carefully, she took two handkerchiefs from her skirt pocket, pulled out some broken glass and wrapped my wound with the handkerchief she had taken out earlier.

“we better postpone the story first, your wound must be treated immediately. Let's go to uks”

“no! The thing I want to tell you can only be told now if it delays again I fear there will be no more time”

“what's up until there's no other time? Will we meet again tomorrow?”

I looked down, “no Reina, I'm sorry to be honest tomorrow and so on I'm not sure if we're going to be together” I looked at her face, then smiled, “because I will grant you the wish you said in class this morning”

“hopefully? Which ma-...” is like remembering something Reina spontaneously fell silent, “ka-you heard our conversation earlier? Risa I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I said that because I thought you had forgotten me, please don't take my words seriously!”

“it's okay, I didn't put your words into my heart. But sooner or later I'm going to leave, of course it's not my wish. I hope you don't blame yourself for my departure, huh?”

Reina was silent

After that I told them everything. About disease. Deadlines. And the plan I've been doing all this time. Reina listened carefully. As long as I told him his tears welled up at the end of his eyes and instantly fell down as the girl blinked.

“ja-so all this time you already know if I intentionally want to destroy your relationship?”

I nodded, “honestly I'm really grateful to you for helping me. I hope your presence will make them forget me. But don't think if I purposely made you a surrogate, I didn't mean to!. Sorry for indirectly using you”

“Risa. But what if they know the truth? You're really gonna keep this alone? I-they'll get hurt eventually”

I chuckled at Reina's words, “someone also said the same to me. That's why I told you. Only seven people - eight plus you - know about my illness. If one day Fanxing, Yuuta, Ueda family, Yibo and Xiao Zhan start to get suspicious of my absence, can you not say if I go out of town with my biological parents?”

“your biological parents? Mr and Mrs Akazawa?”

‘Gosh he still remembers that name? actually where could he make up that name anyway?’

“pffh .. not Reina. My biological parents are Mr and Mrs Kuroba. Mario and Ryuugi. Oh yeah, by the way, where did you get my bio and my family history? Why is everything wrong?”

Reina's face flushed red, maybe embarrassed or maybe because of something else, I don't understand.

“a-I got it from my foster father, when I said that I wanted to find information about the girl named Risa the files were sent by the men of dad”

I instantly gawk. ‘what they found information of others who happened to have the same name as ‘Risa’. Looks like your family needs a more reliable informant, nak’

“o-oh so apparently, it looks like they got misinformation”

“forgive me Risa, surely because of those files you got in trouble with the Ueda family huh?”

I smiled, grabbed her hand and held her hand warmly. “indeed it made me so expelled from their house, but I did not mind because from the beginning I did want to stay away from them. Thanks for your help”

“ta-but..”.

“shh is okay. The point is I've told you everything. And from tomorrow I will not go to school, I beg you, please take care of Fanxing and Yuuta ya”

“alright, but can I accompany you always? You can't move out of this town, please. We just cleared up this misunderstanding and I don't want to lose my best friend”

“emm for that maybe I can talk to my papa, we can always play together. Maybe at my house or in the hospital?”

I chuckle to myself about what I said, meet at the hospital? It would definitely make Reina worried, after all when I was in the hospital maybe it was the moment I was nearing death

I don't know how long we've been chatting, but I slowly felt my body limp and like it was not powered up. I tendered to her, Reina swiftly embracing me. Suddenly his face panicked

“Risa, your face is so pale. Your wounds really must be treated let's go to uks I'll get you.”

I shook my head, then later we will meet someone else, and could have met four people who I really want to avoid it. “ti-no need, he said, b-but can you find Senior Ikeoka, only he can help me this time.”

“but if I go how about you? I don't want to leave you alone let alone your condition like this!”

“I promise to last until you return, so hurry up. hhh I .. beg”

My breathing was getting heavier, oxygen like it didn't go into my lungs at all. The longer my consciousness began to disappear but I forced myself to stay awake.

“ba-good! Then I go first”

Reina immediately ran, probably towards Ryosuke's class. I tried to keep my consciousness, but it was very difficult because my body was completely powerless.

“hh.. brother ..aku ..please ...fast”.

A few minutes later, Reina returned. I smiled with satisfaction to see it. He is with Ryosuke, Xujia and Zhao Lei. The four of them actually put on a worried face. Even Ryosuke immediately lifted me up bridal style and took me to the parking lot.

He told Xujia to go to my class to get my bag left behind. Then tell Zhao Lei to call Mario in the principal's room. ‘is Mario's business not finished yet? Though I think I've been chatting for hours with my inner Reina’

“Risa! my God, this kid told me to call me if you're getting worse! But what is this?!” ryosuke

“ma-sorry brother... my phone... lagun” reply stammered.

“shh... better save your energy we have to go to hospital now”

After that we arrived at the parking lot. Mario is on standby with his car. Xujia and Zhao Lei were already there. After I was put in the car, Ryosuke came in and put my head on his thigh. Mario thanks Xujia and Zhao Lei. Reina is asked by Ryosuke to return to her class.
