"Madam, I promise we will do anything we can to find your son."
"Thank you madam! Thank you!" the woman said between sobs.
Fujioka Haruhi, now 28 is working as a volunteer for a non-governmental organisation in a war struck country. The volunteering work that she is doing now is risky and dangerous. She was always working in war torn countries, trying to save lives. Comforting families who had lost a family member.
Kaoru would have always objected her in this, fearing that she would get hurt or worse, killed. But yet, he would sometimes accompany her on her missions.
They would share a blanket on cold nights, hugging each other closely, exchanging body heat to keep them warm. The other blanket that they had was given to the thankful victims.
Sometimes, they shared their meal when there isn't any food left for the victims. Sometimes, they would go out together to reconnect displaced family members.
And everytime when they hear ground-shaking bombs dropping, they would hug each other tightly, saying silent "I love you's". They were thankful that they had each other at times like this.
They worked so well together as a team. He didn't want to see people suffering anymore, but she wanted to continue helping the victims to ease their suffering.
Kaoru decided to give their relationship a break to let them think clearly. Haruhi could only oblige. She knew that she was doing the biggest mistake in her life for letting him go but the people needs her more.
Four years has passed since Kaoru left. Haruhi had not heard a word from him. She was happy that she could help save peoples life. She was also sad that her happiness would mean that she had to sacrifice her happiness with Kaoru.
I hope he has moved on. He should have forgotten me by now and continue his interest in fashion designing.
"Fujioka-san! We need you here! This man's leg has been blown off when he accidentally stepped into the mine field. Help me stop his bleeding," a colleague of hers instructed.
"Hai!"
The man was screaming and twisting in pain.
"The leg must go. I have to amputate is before it gets infected," said her colleague while scrubbing his hand, preparing for the operation.
"Thank you. You may leave now Fujioka-san."
Haruhi left quickly to let her colleague continue with his job. She was shaking badly. Haruhi has never seen so much blood in her life. The man's blood is splashed all over her shirt. A sigh left her mouth.
If only Kaoru was here.
"Madam, can you please show me where the emergency kit is? This man here has injured his eye. I'm new in this team," a voice asked from behind her.
"Sure, here it is," Haruhi smiled, turning to the voice.
"K—Kao—Kaoru?"
The end.
A/N: A very short one-shot. I will hit my head for writing this. Anyways, thank you for reading!
