19. Problem

Rei woke up the next morning and got refreshed. He took a bath, wore some casual clothes and came down. He was very hungry as he didn't have any dinner yesterday after all that happened. He cooked himself some heavy breakfast and ate it slowly thinking about what happened yesterday and wondering whether he should tell Shirogana-san or not.

He then decided to tell him as he doesn't know why this started so suddenly when the doctor told him that he was completely fine when he was discharged. He wondered whether it had anything to do with baseball.

So after he washed the dishes, he went and took the phone. He dialed Shirogana and spoke with nervousness evident in his tone, "Um, Hello Oji-san. This is me Rei."

A voice which was clearly not Shirogana's came from the opposite end, "Uh, Otou-san is eating and I will tell him that you called him. Um, what is your name."

"My name is Toujou Rei."

"Hmm ok, then I'll tell Otou-san that you called him."

"Thank you, Bye." and Rei cut the call.

He started to think 'whose voice was that one on the phone. It was a male so it should probably be Shirogan-san's son. What was his name again sira or something? Well, now I should just wait for Shirogan-san to call me.' and started to watch some programs on the television.

*MEANWHILE IN KAMIZATO HOUSEHOLD *

Shirogana was having his breakfast thinking about Rei. His phone suddenly rang. He checked his pockets and didn't find it. So he called for his son, "Sora go check my phone it's ringing."

His son Sora replied, "Yes Otou-san I'm going."

Sora went and checked the phone and found out that it's an unknown number so he then asked his dad, "Otou-san it's an unknown number should I pick it up."

Hearing it's an unknown number Shirogana replied, "Yes once check it out and tell them I'm eating."

Sora then picked up his phone and replied as his dad asked him to and cut the call. He then started to think 'Hmm where did I hear the name Toujou Rei. I don't remember.' and went to check on his father and found him cleaning his hands.

He went near him and said, "Otou-san it was someone called Toujou Rei."

Hearing his son Shirogana turned and said "Oh Rei called. Did you ask him why?"

Sora shook his head and denied, "No Otou-san I told him you will call him after you eat."

Shirogana went and took his phone and called Rei back.

Seeing his father go, Sora went to his mother and asked, "Kaa-san why did Otou-san go like that when I told it was a call from Rei?"

Then Narumi smiled and told him, "Rei is Tensei-san's child. The one your dad told you and your sister about the day before yesterday."

"Oh! My new younger brother, at last, I am not the youngest in this household anymore." Listening to Sora, Narumi just smiled and told, "Yeah, now be a good big brother and be a nice example for Rei. Don't always fight with your sister."

Hearing her Sora didn't reply and went back to his room grumbling how his sister fights not him.

* BACK TO REI *

After ending the call, Rei was thinking, "It's been around 20 minutes since I called Shirogana-san. I wonder when he will call.' and suddenly his phone rang. He checked it and it was Shirogana

He picked it up and said, "Hello is this Oji-san. It's me Rei."

He then heard Shirogan-san's voice this time, "Yes Rei it is me. Tell me what happened."

Then Rei told him, "Um Oji-san yesterday I went out to play some catch ball to pass time. When I was playing I suddenly felt my chest pain and my breathing became heavy. I couldn't look properly and felt dizziness in my head. My body felt heavy as I struggled to stand on my legs. The person I was playing with looked like my Otou-san for a minute and the pain in my chest increased. I don't know why this happened but I called you just in case."

There was some silence afterward and Shirogana replied in an agitated voice with worry evident in it, "Are you feeling well now Rei. It didn't happen again right. Should I come over there and stay with you."

Hearing his concern Rei felt a bit of warmth inside my chest. He unconsciously smiled and replied, "Yes I'm fine Oji-san. I drank some water afterward and washed my face and the pain subsided. It did not come up after that one time. I'm fine Oji-san there is no need for you to come." Rei didn't want to worry Shirgana-san more.

"Are you really alright Rei cause we can go to the hospital again if you are not feeling well."

"There is no need to go to the hospital Oji-san I'm fine right now."

Hearing Rei's reply, Shirogan's voice became a bit calmer but there was still a bit of concern for Rei in it, "Alright then Rei. But you should still be careful and don't stress your mind too much or it might come back again. I will call the doctor again and ask him what is going on."

"Ok, then Oji-san. Bye" and Rei cut the call. He saw Television for the rest of the day.
