Chapter 4 Section 4

Heisuke almost jumped up in surprise. The person who called him was Sami Nami.The daughter who had just fallen asleep like a doll was now lying on the bed and looking up at her father.Her eyes were no longer as completely emotionless as yesterday, and the dark eyes burst out with a light that wanted to pour out some kind of emotion strongly. "Sami Nami...ah, Sami Nami, you can talk now. Ah, that's great! That's great!" Heisuke stood up from the chair and looked at his daughter's face.He, who had already burst into tears, couldn't control himself anymore.He thought he should have called the doctor earlier, so he staggered towards the door.

"Wait a minute..." Sami Nami said in a weak voice. Heisuke grabbed the doorknob and turned around, "What's wrong? Does it hurt anywhere?" Sami Nami shook her head slightly. "Come here... for a moment, listen to me... tell you..." Although it was intermittent, Sami Nami struggled to make a sound. "Of course I'm going to listen, but I've got to call the doctor over first." Sami Nami shook her head again. "Don't call others. Anyway, come here first... Please." Hirasuke was puzzled, but he did as she asked, thinking that she was just acting like a baby to herself.

"Okay, I'm here. If you have anything you want to say to me, you can say whatever you want, just say it." He said softly to Sami Nami. Sami Nami didn't speak right away, but stared at his cheek.That kind of look made Hirasuke suddenly feel strange.He thought to himself, why his daughter's eyes are so strange!That doesn't look like Sami Nami's eyes, no, it doesn't look like a child's eyes!Moreover, this kind of look made him feel very familiar. Someone once looked at him with such a look. "Husband... will you believe what I say?" Sami Nami asked.

"Ah, believe it. As long as it is said by Sami Nami, I will believe it." Heisuke said to his daughter with a smile. After speaking, he suddenly felt wrong.husband? Sami Nami stared at his face and continued, "I am not Sami Nami." "Ah?" Hirasuke had a smile on his face, but the muscles on his face froze. "I'm not Sami Nami, don't you understand?" This time, the muscles in his face began to twitch.Even so, Hirasuke tried his best to keep his smile. "What nonsense are you talking about! Hahaha, I'm starting to make fun of my father now, hahaha!"

"I'm not kidding. I'm really not Sami. You should be able to tell, right? It's me, I'm Naoko." "Naoko?" "Yes, it's me." Sami Nami made a dumbfounding expression. Heisuke looked at his daughter's face, and then chewed what she had just said in his mind again.Literally he understood it, but when he wanted to understand the content of these languages ​​in detail, his brain became confused.The psychological resistance began to work, and as a result, he tried to force a smile again. "You're still playing with me!" he said. "What are you talking about? I won't be fooled by you!"

But his smile didn't last long, and it disappeared after a few seconds.He saw the genuine sadness on Sami Nami's face. Hirasuke stood up again, and staggered towards the door.He wants to call a doctor.He decided that his daughter had mental problems.If her spirit is fine, then there is something wrong with her own spirit. "Don't go!" Sami Nami yelled, "Don't call someone, please listen to me." Heisuke turned around. She continued to Heisuke who turned her head: "I'm really Naoko. I know you can't believe this fact, even I don't believe it myself, but it's the truth!"

Sami Nami cried.No, it should be said that the girl with Satoma's beauty started to cry. Heisuke thought to himself, how could such absurd thing happen, it's impossible—his thoughts were shaking violently.Not because he couldn't believe her words, on the contrary, her tone was indeed his wife's.Thinking of this, when I looked at her again, the breath around Sami Nami was no longer the breath of a primary school student, but the breath of a calm adult woman.Moreover, it was the breath of a woman that Hirasuke was very familiar with, and he knew this very well. "But, but...well, how could such absurd things...uh..."

Heisuke scratched his scalp desperately. Now he was afraid to even look at Sami Nami. She continued to cry.Her choked voice reached Heisuke's ears.He glanced in the direction of the hospital bed. Di was crying, covering his eyes with his left hand.Then she gently folded her right hand on top of her left hand, and the middle finger of her right hand was stroking the base of her left ring finger back and forth. Heisuke was taken aback. That was Naoko's habit!She used to cry like this when the husband and wife quarreled.She strokes with her right hand what is a wedding ring on her left hand.

"Then do you remember the first time I asked you for a date?" Hirasuke asked tentatively. "How could it be forgotten?" she replied, crying. "We went to see a movie about a sinking submarine, didn't we?" "That's not a submarine, that's a luxury cruise ship." Hirasuke said. Although they watched "Poseidon" a few times afterwards, Naoko always referred to Poseidon as a submarine. "After watching the movie, we went to Yamashita Park." She was right.The two sat on a bench and watched the boats on the sea together. "Then do you remember the first time I went to your place?"

"I remember. It was very cold that day." "Ah, it's really cold." "After you took off your trousers, you were wearing pajama pants inside." "Ah, that's because I was in a hurry to change in the morning." "You're lying. You obviously used the pajama pants as long johns." At this point, she burst out laughing, "You were so serious about it then." Hirasuke came to the bed and knelt down on the ground.The girl who had the appearance of Sami Nami stared at him.While looking back at the other person from the front, he gently covered her face with his hands.

"It was the same way that night." She said in his hand, "You held my face like that that day too, didn't you?" "yes." At that time, maintaining such a posture, he kissed her.However, today he did not, because the face in front of him was not Naoko's.Instead of kissing her, he asked, "Are you really Naoko?" His voice trembled. She nodded.
