Everything was perfect. The love they built for two years were taken away in just one night. Can love still prevails even after the tears, screams, painful memories, smiles and above all, can it prevails upon diseases?
"If there isn't anything else you'd like me to get you, I shall take my leave, Sir." "You're dismissed." He finished off the last paperwork he had to sign and closed all his documents and cleaned his magnificent and rather large, made of mahogany wood office desk. He rubbed his temples and sighed contently. It was already ten at night and he was set to get back to his penthouse. Everyday was like this. Getting up, ready for work, office, work, work and work again, and later he dozes off. The process would then continue for the next day, and the next days, and the next days. He checked his phone. No messages. No missed calls. Good. That means his family was in good shape.
He then opened the photo gallery on his phone and scrolled down to look at that very single picture he had kept so dearly and would not let anyone even try to touch or take a look at it. His gaze fell on said picture that he would not even blink while looking at it. There was a beautiful lady, with her light green sundress and her breathtaking smile. Next to her was a very good looking man, about the same age as the lady and he was smiling so sincerely while having his right arm around her shoulders. She was hugging his torso while facing the camera, radiating her light air and her sparkly emerald eyes. 'I miss you' he thought to himself. He closed his eyes and relieved the scenes that were so real and so vivid that they were all taken away from him in just a split second.
"From today on, no matter what happens, how big the love of our test and how many people who will try rip us apart, nothing will ever change between us. We'll stay together forever, and eternally even if the whole world is against us. Even if we'll be the last people on Earth" she told with such happiness no one could ever described. He smirked and later on gave a half-smile to her, like he always did. "Keep your promise, Sakura" he replied to her. "Of course I will! I love you Sasuke!" she exclaimed. He kissed her temple and held her close within his arm. "I love you too," he took her hands and held them dearly while facing her. "I love you today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and for the rest of my life," he kissed her forehead. She smiled to him and hung her arms onto his neck so tight like it was the only thing that she needed to depend on.
It was a beautiful Sunday night when it happened. He was driving her home but decided to make a stop just so he could look at her face. He didn't know why, but his conscience told him to do so. He had sort of, a bad feeling after their beach date but he shrugged it off, thinking that maybe he had just been too happy that he started feeling weird. He didn't know what to expect next. He didn't know his life would entirely change the moment he took her in his car. All he cared was that this beautiful maiden who was sitting next to him and that she was there, with him, spending her precious time with him while confessing how much she adored and love him. All he wanted to hear were her words of love. He wanted to feel her light and feminine touches on his arms, torso, neck or anywhere she wanted to touch him. "Hey Sasuke," said girl called out for him. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "I know you're too busy with your work and all, but do you think we could go and take a ride in the gondola? You know, the famous one near Konoha here? I want to feel how it's like to be in it!" He chuckled. Of course, a gondola would be so perfect for a date. "Next date," he replied. He was never a man of words, but she just understood him so well he needed not to explain himself of anything. He liked her. He liked the way she dressed, her smiles and her sweet talks towards him.
They were engaged at the moment and their relationship stood strong for a whole fantastic two years. It was sort of a cliche on how they met for the first time. He went to a bookstore to find some reading material that may amuse him but of course, nothing really took his interest until he had his eyes on a particular dark covered book. He reached out for it however as soon as he laid his hand on said book, it touched another hand who happened to belong to a lady. He retreated his hand without looking at the owners of the hand, he could hear a soft voice muttering a short apology. He simply nodded, not caring if he didn't get the book although he did took a glance at the lady in front of him. She let out a small laugh. "I'm sorry. You can have the book if you wished for it," and then she smiled. Her smile was simply lovely and so alive. "My name is Sakura," she smiled again. He smirked and told her his name ... and that was how it all started. The flirts, dates, text messages and late night calls, 4 am conversations, dinners, breakfasts, frequent visits to each others' workplace and you name it all.
His thoughts were interrupted by the constant ringing of his cell phone. "What is it?" he answered. "Mom wants you to get home now. She's worried. You've been working for two days straight, Sasuke. Time to say leave that god damn office of yours," his older brother by the name Itachi was always the one who constantly called him and asked him to come home ever since that night. That dreadful night. "I will," was Sasuke's answer and he shut his phone. His brother was downright true. Every single word of his. Ever since that accident, he had never wanted to take a look at how life is. 'What is life without her, anyway?'
