- Mako, he ....
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- ---------
-What happened to Mako? - I shouted.
- He passed out ... and was sent to the hospital.
-I'll be right there.- I say changed.
I go to the manager and call him, as soon as he arrived I said:
-My brother ended up in the hospital, I urgently need to go there.
- Okay, I'll ask Izuko to replace you on the shift.- Says the manager.
"I promise I'll make it up, how about I take a night shift here?"
- Okay.- Agrees the manager.- Now go, go.
- Thank you very much.- I shout as I run to the exit.
I go to the street, wearing my work uniform, and call the taxi, as soon as the taxi stops I get into the taxi and say:
-For Aiiku Hospital, at 5-6-8 Minami-Azabudai, Minato-ku.- I tell the taxi driver.
- Ok.- He answers.
Ah, I forgot that today I also had to go to work as a snake charmer, to see if I care to inform there that I will not be able to go.
------------------------------------------------- 30 min later -------------------------------
I was in the hospital corridor waiting for information from the doctor, who by the way took forever to give it, when I decided to thank the young man:
-Look, thank you very much for helping my brother, how can I compensate him?
-It was nothing, I couldn't make you unconscious in the middle of the street. Um, how about a date? - asks the young man.
-Ok, if that's what you want.- I answer.
In the meantime, I take my phone and call Yuka who was with her friends:
-Hi, Yuka I am at Aiiku hospital, Mako passed out.
- What? What happened? - Asks Yuka.
-I don't know, the doctor hasn't said anything yet.- I answer.
-I'm going there already.- Tell Yuka.
-Ok.- I answer.
I hang up the call, and start calling the snake charmer job:
-Hi, I apologize for the call at the last minute, but I need to take time off today, because my brother is in the hospital.
- Ok, but you will have a discount on your salary.- Replies the boss.
-Ok.- I say.
After hanging up the call, I sigh, a drop in pay, will be harmful especially if the exams are expensive.
------------------------------------------------- 20 min later -----------------------------------------
Yuka and I were dying of stress due to the fact that the doctor said nothing, when a short stature doctor came to us:
-You are Midari and Yuka, Mako's brother, right?
-Yes right. What does he have? - I ask.
-Mako has the flu, but not only ...- Says the doctor.
-Yes? - I ask while I wait for the continuation of the information that the doctor was going to give.
-Do you have someone who wants to harm you? - Asks the doctor.
- Why? - I ask.
- Your brother had snake venom in his blood, apparently someone is giving it to him every day.- The doctor replies.
-Who? - I ask.
- Well, that was what I wanted to know when I asked if there was anyone who wanted to harm you. - The doctor replies.
- O YOU IMMUNICATED,, HALF OF THE COUNTRY IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE MY HEAD CUT, FROM SO MANY PEOPLE HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO KNOW.- I scream- YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
The doctor stands there looking at me as if I were the craziest being in the world:
-Calm down ,- says the doctor.
-COMMINE ME, AS YOU WANT ME TO CALM DOWN. THAT WASTE THAT HAS DONE THIS, WILL PAY, FOR HAVING TOUCHED MY BROTHER ...- I scream.
-Nee-chan, calm down.- Ask Yuka.- I'm starting to get scared.
I sigh for 2 minutes and calm down:
-Well, but will he be okay? - I ask.
- Yes, some medicines for the flu, some antidotes for the poison and that's it.- Says the doctor.- Do you want to complain to the police?
-No these are others who want to see me dead.- I say.- And in total how much will it cost?
-Well, 30 yen for the flu diagnosis. 45 yen for the detection of snake venom. 50 yen for stopping the poison from advancing. 65 yen for the flu medicines, 60 yen for the poison antidote and 30 for a day in the hospital.- The doctor says.- In total there are 280 yen. You have up to three days after the event to pay the bill. It can be by ATM, if it is directly with the director of the hospital, if you do not pay 100 yen interest will be added and you will not be able to return to the hospital.
-Ok, thanks.- I say.- Can we see Mako?
-Clear. It is in corridor A in room 10, bed 2.- The doctor says.- He is still unconscious.
-Thanks.- We answered both.
In the meantime we went to the room where Mako was, about 10 min after we were there I feel a not very pleasant presence:
-Yuka, go buy some sandwiches at the hospital bar, take 10 yen.- I answer.
-Ok.- She answers leaving the room.
-Now please say what you want ...- I say seriously.
- Uhh ...
