Sad Love Story
I
had three friends. Natsume, Luna, Mikan.
Natsume was chased by all
the girls in our high school.
Luna was one of those popular girls.
Cheerleader, sexy, and stylish.
Mikan was just one of those plain
and average girls.
Luna and Mikan were both totally crazy over
Natsume.
Luna didn't have to do anything to attract Natsume.
For
she was already attractive enough.
Mikan on the other hand,
showered Natsume which love and care.
Mikan wasn't ugly at all.
In
fact, she looked sweet and pleasant.
But she wasn't a cheerleader,
she didn't were spaghetti-straps or tubes.
So like everyone
expected, Natsume chose Luna.
For Mikan was just one ordinary and
plain girl.
While Luna was labeled as the cool and attractive
type.
Natsume always insulted Mikan.
Telling
her what a 'Plain Jane' she was.
And how dumb she looked.
This
obviously made Mikan feel so hurt and useless.
That's life. Mikan
never gave up though.
She wanted to prove something to
Natsume.
She wanted to prove that looks aren't everything.
She
studied hard, really hard.
She became the top girl, and all the
guys who once ignored her, chased her.
But she never forgot
Natsume.
Everyday, she put pink cherry blossoms in Natsume's
desk. For this was his favorite.
Always with the same words
'I
care for you, and I always will'
because she knew that Natsume was
facing a hard time.
Natsume then began to realize.
How dumb he
had been.
His beloved girlfriend, Luna,
Was flirting with other
guys.
He regretted for choosing the wrong girl.
Natsume
broke up with Luna later.
For she had found a wealthier
guy.
Natsume felt so cheated, stupid and dumb.
He went to look
for Mikan, after his mission, with his right arm bleeding heavily.
He
knelt on his knees, and said.
"Mikan, please forgive me. Do
you want to be my girlfriend?"
Mikan rejected him, much to
everyone's surprise.
She only uttered these words.
"You've
suffered a great loss, so I don't want you to face another one"
Natsume
felt disappointed.
He didn't understand a word that she said to
him.
But they became good friends.
Did everything together, but
arguing most of the time of course.
Natsume began to change into
someone better.
Because Mikan showered him with the love he never
experienced before.
His ex-girlfriend had never treated him that
way.
She just accepted him for his looks.
But Mikan accepted
him for himself.
She changed him.
Mikan continued putting a
pink cherry blossom into his desk everyday,
with the same words.
She never forgot.
One
day, Mikan didn't turn up in school.
She didn't come for a
week.
At first, Natsume thought that she was on a vacation with
her family.
Because she told him that she would be going Hawaii
with them.
But, one day, He received a call from the
Hospital.
Saying that Mikan was about to die.
She had been
suffering from her Alice and her life span.
But Mikan forbid them
from telling him.
Because she didn't want Natsume to worry about
her.
But now that she was about to die.
She wanted to see
Natsume, one last time.
Natsume rushed to the hospital.
When he
saw how weak Mikan was.
Tears began rushing down his cheeks.
He
whispered.
"Why the hell didn't you tell me earlier? Why did
you hide this from me?"
She looked at him, and smiled weakly
at him.
"When
I said that I didn't want you to suffer from facing another loss, I
meant this. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you to
worry. I wanted to spend my last days with you cheerfully."
Natsume looked at her.
"You can't leave me!" he
said.
"What will I be without you?" he added.
"You'll
be who you are now. I will always be there by your side. Never forget
that. Cherish those times. Live life happily, and one more thing."
"Yes?" he answered as he hugged her tightly.
"I love you" And she died. Natsume's tears never failed to stop from flowing in his crimson orbs.
He
still couldn't accept Mikan's death.
He had only spent a month
with Mikan.
A
month, But Mikan changed his life in a way.
A way that no one
could ever explain. He regretted.
But he knew that Mikan would
always be keeping an eye on him from Heaven.
Sometimes
we just don't appreciate those people who really care for us.
Until
they leave us. Until we lose them. Then we regret.
Outer beauty
doesn't matter; it's the inner one that counts.
It's better to
tell someone how much you love them.
Rather than to not tell them
and lose them without telling them.
You'll regret Love is. When we
fight till the very last minute.
Just to show and tell someone how
much we love them.
