All About Her
Chapter 1
Uzumaki
Here she goes again running towards me with that smile on her face. It's obvious that she has something good to say because she was quite jumpy and she was hugging me so tight, I can barely breath. I just waited for the news to burst out but I cant avoid to notice all those furtive looks around us. With the way she acts people could really conclude that were pretty much close to each other. I don't know how close we are but I have been hearing a lot of rumors spreading around. Rumors can never be good, you know. It kindda changes you. I'm not saying that its true. She is not my girlfriend for God's sake. Ahhh. I should be more careful next time(sigh). (Self realization) So that's how rumors spread. Ok, since I have mentioned it, I better tell you the whole story. Yes, your right, partly because I know people don't like cliffhangers but mainly because I want to put the truth out.
Sakura is my bestfriend. We have known each other since like forever. Ok! I know that was a bit exaggerated it's only because I know her pretty well. Bad or Good I know it all. Her ups and downs I've been there. We have spent a lot of time together so it is not impossible to be close with her. Especially with such transparent person as she is, It wasn't hard for me to like her. So, By the way, we've met each other last January 1, 2001. Too specific? Well, I know that majority says that boys don't remember dates but we actually do. We remember dates (that means M/D/Y…not the dating stuff) which are important to us and meeting her is one of the most important events that happened in my life.
I remember starting that year with a frown on my face. No one could blame me for that. I mean it was a New Year and the whole world were celebrating it with colorful fireworks at a beautiful night sky, delicious food served on the table, and most importantly having fun with their families. My situation was that my Mom was hospitalized for she was diagnosed with cancer. While the whole world was celebrating, I sat beside my mom listening to each word she says. Although I can't make out the words, still I listened. She told me about my father and how much he loves me besides whatever happened in the past. I looked at her with that "I told you so Mom! if he loves me he should have not left us" look. She cried and said sorry. It was painful to see her like that. No woman deserves to cry. She apologized and I told her that it's not her fault and it will never be. "Son, I'm sorry for ruining my relationship with your Dad, it could have been the reason that you don't have a Dad beside you and I don't have a husband beside me but I want you to know that our relationship may have not worked out but he will still be your father. Please forgive him son", she said. I don't know what words to say but I nod my head and cried with her. " Mom, I love you so much, please forgive me for the mistakes that I have done and for not being the best son to you. I love you so much and I can't sit beside you right here and see you cry, Mom please stop crying" I told her. "I accept you for who you are and I'll always love you my son." She answered. "Im sorry Uzumaki for seeing me like this but let me cry. We cry son but that does not mean were weak. It simply implies that were very strong." She continued. "Men will never understand us Women" and she ended her quote with a smile. I know I have to give her back a smile so I did and I did not regret it. Afterwards, the Doctors and nurses rushed inside the room and I simply walked out of it.
I went up to the rooftop to cool off my head. I got there and saw all these fireworks up the dark sky. I sat there and cried reminiscing all the moments my mother and me have shared together. All happy moments were flashing before my eyes and I cried.
"Wow" someone said. I thought I was alone but I was wrong. There was this girl sitting about two meters away from me. Her eyes were amazed by the wonderful colors at the sky. " Isn't that beautiful?" she said. I tried to look around her but no one else was around. So, I answered " Yes,.. It is…..quite beautiful". She looked at me. Her eyes were as colorful as the fireworks. I stared at her and my heart was beating so fast. I don't know why but I felt like I need to hear a word form her. Then she smiled and chuckled. While looking back at the sky again she said, "My Mom told me that fireworks is life. It is very colorful. Each color comes from your friends, family, love ones and all of the people surrounding you. They give color to your life. Even your enemies, those people that you hate and hates you too or the people that you have lost. They all give color to your life. It's a New Year, you know. I guess it's not a good idea for you to start it with lonely tears." I was shocked to hear those words. I thought that she never noticed me but she knew. All this time she knew that I was sad. Before I could say a word, she looked at me and smiled. The colorful light lit her face. She was so beautiful with the smile on her face. She moved towards me. Her every step was my every heartbeat. A Heartbeat as loud as the fireworks. I was extremely nervous. She was right in front of me and I don't know what to do. I was about to say a word when she suddenly hugged me. "Please be happy my friend, she whispered". My hands went up to her back and I did not even know that I was now hugging her back. "Thank you" I said. I felt something warm on my shoulder. Then I heard a sob. We were both crying but this time the warm tears that fell on each of our shoulder were tears of joy. It is truly a joy to find my best friend.
