Wedding Dress Trauma
Chapter one : Size-matters!
During childhood… a chubby child would usually be told…
'My,aren't you cute with that round face!'
'Chubby is alright, that's what makes her a healthy baby!'
Compliments, they were all compliments to please the child's parents.
Growing up as a teen…during high school, comparing to other slimmer female friends…
'Why not go on a diet?'
'Cut down the snacks and you'll be fine.'
'If you don't slim down, you won't be able to wear nice clothes.'
Words don't sound the same compared to childhood times.
Meeting up with relatives during reunion dinners or bumping into parent's nosy friends…roll eyes and anticipate what they would say and they would all sound the same…
'Is that you? My, you have grown vertically and horizontally!'
'I suggest you reduce your meal portions.'
'This is your daughter? She's…BIG.'
They tease. They snicker. They tend to laugh when they were given a chance to.
Moving into adulthood…working in an office surrounded by female colleagues with slender figures…and males, they tend to throw jokes referring to the word 'fat'…
'I go gym every Wednesdays. Why don't you join me, you can burn some of that calorie.'
'It doesn't matter if you have a good personality. Men just don't care about the insides nowadays, it's the 'packaging' that matters!'
'If you don't shape up, you'll never get yourself a husband!'
That hit the nerve! On one hand they tried to be nice and on the other, they tease and criticize. Just because they have a better figure, that doesn't mean that they had the right to say as they please!
Employee Profile:
Name : Haruno Sakura
Gender : Female
Description : Pink hair ( weirdo )
Green eyes ( doesn't look too smart )
Tall and big in size ( direct translation: fat!)
Message : Forbidden word – fat.
Oh! Just look at that word being used twice in a page!
The pink haired female is getting used to all this discrimination throughout her years of life. She was immune to all of them for instance: round ( fine... ), big ( what do you mean… ), plump ( so what! ) and last but not least the word fat ( you're going down buddy! )
It's not like she wanted all this. She was born with those words. The fact that she had SIZE compared to those beautiful figures and the perfect 'S', it was total inheritance from her grandparents. Though she usually receive words like:
'Your parents are slim why not you?'
Like she would care, cause she couldn't. There is no helping it, it's in the blood and DNA!
How is she supposed to change all that! Sakura wanted to shout right back at them.
She decided to keep her cool and ignore them. Completely!
Even during work, when her colleagues heard her chair squeak, they tend to whisper and snigger.
"Boy, that chair's gonna snap."
She heard one of them said. Her fingers roared on the keyboard, typing in an accelerating speed. This happens all the time.
Control that anger…control that anger…her mind chanted.
Okay…all that was a year ago before she, Haruno Sakura had the capability to date THE Uchiha Sasuke.
It was a miracle that she was able to triumph over his very sexy secretary who sits outside his office all day long. And from that day on her colleagues tend to watch out for their tongues…
And who is Uchiha Sasuke?
A man that every woman wants.
A man that every press and media wants.
A man that goes global.
A man who is famous for his good looks and riches.
A young leader.
He is the current CEO of his family's successful business empire.
That IS Uchiha Sasuke.
Sakura's catchy ringtone rang in the middle of the stiff silence that hung in the office.
Sasuke.
The caller's name appeared on the screen. Her boss and boyfriend is calling at the same time. She quickly picked up.
"Hello," she whispered. "I told you not to call me during office hours." She began to receive nosy stares from her colleagues.
She heard him chuckle behind the phone.
"I just happen to miss someone with pink hair," he teased and he is enjoying it. He could be cruel enough to call her during meetings sometimes. She rolled her eyes.
Sakura caught her manager peeking out of his office, while she was on the phone.
Although, he would not dare yell at her for her wrong doings since she is his employer's sweetheart. She felt bad about it when she suddenly gained some authority through the Uchiha name.
"Stop it, Sasuke. I am working!" she scolded whisperingly. Sasuke chuckled again.
"Okay. Okay. But you must have lunch with me today," he demanded. "I have a surprise for you."
That piqued her curiosity. She wondered what is the Uchiha up to this time?
High heels were never the pick of her choice. First of all, she isn't suited for one and secondly, she is afraid that she might break them with her weight. That's what her male colleagues used to tease her when she happened to wear one.
Flats were her best friend.
She paced quickly in them as she approached the awaiting male, handsomely dressed in a tie. His arms were folded indicating his growing impatience as he leaned against his slinky black Lamborghini.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, sir." She joked upon arrival.
Wearing his all-time dashing smile, subsequently he took out a large bouquet of red roses.
"Happy anniversary, my love," he spoke in a deeper voice to enhance his manliness.
Sakura gasped as she received them, giving a peck on his cheek for being sweet. She had totally forgotten about their first anniversary.
"Thanks, Sasuke." He just loved to see her set of revealing teeth with her lips standing on their edges with a coat of gloss. Ah, he is in love…
"But that's not all," from his pocket, he fished out a small black velvet box. He opened it before the pink haired female, she gasped loud this time.
Sparkling before her eyes was a large gem of glass-like clarity. A diamond ring!
Is he…proposing?!
Down on one knee, he held her hand.
"Will you marry me, Sakura?"
Hello everyone~
I hope you like my new entry of Sasu x Saku fanfic.
Author's message:
I got the idea through personal experience ( of course - in certain parts and the rest I added in myself ). It's kinda like a 'hurt' which I could not erase and until today people tend to say whatever they want without considering my feelings.
For those who did experience the same 'tragedy' as I do, no worries cause you will be in for good things! ( currently experiencing ) – this story is to be contributed to YOU who got the 'hurt' like I did. ( especially females ) XD
Actually I wanted to make this a one shot, unfortunately, I did not realize that it would take me another chap to finish this. ( hope I won't drag this for too many chaps – hope it ends on the next.. ) will update A.S.A.P
Reviews pls~
