“please you can tell them but with one condition yes, that is...”.
I paused my words a little, and they both looked very carefully at my words.
“ie do it if I'm dead or if they ask about me, okay?”
“heh! why?!” say them simultaneously.
“kan I told you, I don't want—.”
“make them worried or sad? What kind of reason is that?” my words were cut off by Zhao Lei
I just smiled innocently without sin. Ryugi sighed understandably so did Ryosuke. “you have never changed huh? You will always hold fast to your wishes, well we will do as you wish. But from this moment on you have to live with happiness okay?” ryosuke
“hhh well we will also follow your will” said Xujia who was embraced by Zhao Lei
“good brother! I promise!... thank you guys” I said with a smile
After a long conversation, I was finally allowed to go home. Zhao Lei and Xujia asked to come along because they wanted to know my house on the grounds that they wanted to play with me every day or at least when they were not working. Ryugi welcomed their intentions. Maybe Ryugi thinks if I really need friends, with the reason that I do not get bored at home all day.

“aah why did I lose anyway?! You guys must be cheating!!” my protest
It's been two months since I was home-grown. My condition is stable even though there are no positive changes. And during these two months Xujia and Zhao Lei were actually playing at my house after school or after they worked. Never absent at all. Though previously they said if there is a job they will not come but it turns out there or no work they still come here.
Now we are playing charades, and the loser will be smudged in the face with a marker as punishment. We played five times and I always lost. My originally clean face was now filled with scribbles that almost filled my entire face, while Zhao Lei and Xujia only got one or two scribbles.
‘hhh somehow I became resentful of this game my inner’
“ahah are you yourself who are not smart to play why even blame us? Pfftt ahahaha” replied Xujia who could not help but laugh as well as Zhao Lei who was now
“ish! Stop laughing!”
“Xujia, Zhao Lei you are evil once laugh at Risa so” Reina said
Did I forget to tell you that we are currently gathering four? It seems like yes, yes. Actually Reina just arrived a few minutes ago.
“ish Reina is the same, you laugh at me! Hmph!”
“well, well forgive us. So what do you want to do after this?”
I thought for a moment considering Xujia's question.
“ah what if we go to the playground? I'm tired of being at home continue” replied me
But Zhao Lei, Xujia and Reina instead fell silent and looked at each other.
“why?” much
“if your wish is so, you should tell both your parents first. We can't be as happy as taking you out, plus your condition.
Xujia's voice stopped in doubt. On the one hand I agreed with him, just waiting for the day until the day of my death. Although not sure when but certainly will not be laMa. As Ryosuke's graduation day, Jun and Yibo are close. And that's the day that my life forecast will end.
“ah yes you are right. Later I will tell Mama and papa” my answer
“what did you say to us?”
Suddenly Mario's voice sounded from the direction of the entrance. We who were gathered in the guest room simultaneously looked at Mario and Ryugi who had just returned from their home in the neighboring city.
“mama! Papa! You guys have gone home” I quickly immediately ran towards them and directly hugged both parents ‘Risa’ this.
“astaga why does it feel like this Mama's daughter is becoming more and more spoiled, hm? Though only in two days' stay”
“two days is very long Ma, I've missed you even a few hours after you go” I said while pursing my lips and still hugging Ryugi and Mario
“astaga, alright so what do you want to tell us?” ryugi asked as he gently rubbed my black mane.
“I want to go to the playground, can I? After getting out of the hospital I never left the house, I miss the outside world Ma, pa”
Ryugi and Mario looked at each other. The worried rails were clearly visible on their faces.
I looked towards Xujia. Zhao Lei and Reina smiled and nodded.
“right Uncle, Our aunt will take good care of Risa. Because he is our precious friend” continued Zhao Lei
“I beg you, Ma, Pa can ya? I also promise I will rest if I feel tired” whining
Mario and Ryugi finally sighed, “ alright, alright you guys can go. Oh yeah among the three of you who can drive a car?”
Although a little confused by Mario's question, Zhao Lei still raised his hand and said, “I can Uncle, but why ask that?”
“you didn't think you'd take my daughter on your motorcycle did you? My daughter should not be exposed to the outside wind, so you better go by car instead. It's key”
Mario throws his car keys at Zhao Lei, and is captured by him. Since a few months of living with Mario and Ryugi I have always had the same affection that I had in my real family. You can imagine how happy ‘Risa’ would be if he was still here.
“thank you Ma, Pa. Let our friends go”, I said with enthusiasm and immediately walked towards the door. But no one followed me at all, instead they just looked at me in wonder.
“why are you guys quiet?” much
“Risa, you don't want to wash your face first?” ask Ryugi
Hearing the question I immediately remembered that my face was still filled with scribbles from the game earlier, I rushed to the bathroom. From the living room there was laughter from Zhao Lei and Xujia as well as the oddness of Reina, Mario and Ryugi.
‘ish could-can I forget on this scribble!’
***
“can't you guys stop laughing?”
I said cynically to Zhao Lei and Xujia who had been laughing ever since. Though we were already in the playground not far from my house, but they still laughed at the innocence of – which almost looks like my stupid— who forgot the graffiti earlier.
“if your mother hadn't told you earlier, it would have been even more exciting. Looking at you who confidently exited the house with a face full of scribbles..
“ahaha really, gosh just imagine it has made me ticki”
“Zhao Lei, Xujia already, Kasian tuh cheek Risa already like a fathero because you guys tease keep”
I'm getting pursed lips. To be honest I wasn't so angry just annoyed, and anyway when else could I see a smile on my idol's face like this. In my old world I could only see it through a smartphone or tv. Well, let's just enjoy this life.
I did not expect in this playground there are many rides, ranging from the usual to the adrenaline rush. But Zhao Lei and Xujia –who finally stopped their laughter after an hour we were here— only allowed me to play safe and not too extreme rides.
It was dusk and I don't know how long we played, it felt like my body was very tired, if remembered again we had not had lunch last but now it was already at night.
“uhuk... uhuk”.
Again I cough. Zhao Lei, Reina and Xujia instantly panicked and threw various questions.
“a-i'm fine, but I seem hungry and tired... uhuk.
Suddenly Zhao Lei was holding me bridal style, with a reflex I held my arm around his neck. I stared intensely at him
“we forgot if you haven't eaten, let's take a break after that we go home, okay?” tannya
I just nodded while muttering ‘um’. We got out of the playground and went to a nearby restaurant. During the trip to the restaurant many views were on us, many of them also thought we were a couple who held a double date.
Finally we reached the restaurant and Zhao Lei dropped me off. I staggered a little as a result of my body being suddenly powerless. But with Xujia and Reina sparingly reaching out to me, so did Zhao Lei.
‘astaga I like a sick person, ehh wait, for now my condition is like that huh?, ah already bodo’
***
It took me 15 minutes to finish the meal, my energy had recovered and because I had taken the cough medicine it did not appear again. We walked up to Mario's car and planned to go home, until someone suddenly called my name.
“Risa! haven't seen you in school in a long time, where have you been for a few months?”
The four of us turned towards the sound, there were two young men whom I knew very well walking over to us. I smiled brightly at the two young men.
‘i miss them so much!’
