It all started when my husband Sanosuke Sagara died. Sanosuke and I met and fell in love when we were studying at Tokyo University. Sanosuke was studying in the engineering department while I was into economics. Our first meeting was a coincidence, we met in a photography club and fell in love. It was like love at first sight.
Since I was a little girl I always liked taking pictures and as I grew older this passion grew with me, I even thought of making this as a career but things didn't turned out to be the way I wanted, so I decided doing it as a hobby. When I first saw and met Sanosuke, what really caught my eyes were his looks. I thought he was the ladies man but as time passed I discovered something, I was fairly mistaken that very first day.
What caught my eyes were not his looks but the special aura that was around him, then I realized that I had really fallen in love with his personality and not his looks. As I got to know him better, I felt very special for knowing someone unique like Sanosuke.
I remember the first day we met, I was in the place where our club meetings were being held. I was a member in that club for only one month, so I didn't really know the people that much or I was shy I guess. Since the club meetings were being held only once a week, we were given assignments to do.
When Sanosuke entered through the door I realized that he was quite popular, he was admired by both his male and female members. It seemed he was a long time member there because he knew every single person in the club, well except for me. I miss my husband very much but back then I didn't know that the man that just came through the door would become my future husband. I remember that day like it was yesterday;
Photography club meeting starts at 1:00
Kaoru was sitting in one the empty chairs. She had come ten minutes earlier she realized that aside from her, there were only few other members who were chatting and showing each other the pictures that they had taken through out the week.
Seeing that, she also took out her own pictures and her camera from her backpack preparing to show her own work.
"I really hope they like my pictures."
A few moments later a cheery girl around her age approached her
"Hey Kaoru! I didn't see you come in, how was your week?"
"It was ok Asami thank you, if you don't mind can I see the pictures that you took?"
"Sure, no problem I'll show them to you after Namito is done looking at them."
While Kaoru was waiting she saw someone enter through the door, it was a tall brunette man, the man went around people and it seemed that he had been away for some time, because people were all saying the same thing; "Where were you Sanosuke?" ," What happened man, I didn't see you for sometime"…
Then the tall brunette man whom I believe is Sanosuke turned towards me and said; "You must be new here, hi my name is Sanosuke Sagara."
"Umm h..hi."
'Its not the right time to freeze girl come on say your name.'
"I..I'm my name is Kaoru Kamiya nice to meet you Mr .Sagara."
"Ah! Sanosuke is fine infect Sano is better, yeah you can call me Sano welcome and nice to meet you too."
"So we are equal if you call me kaoru."
After that day I became really close with Sano, we talked and discovered that we had many similarities but the major one was 'photography'.
We were so in love that eight months after we met in a nice cold winter day he proposed, then we decided to stay engaged till spring and get married when cherry blossoms fully bloomed. Since I had no one from my family except for my aunt, I only told her, but Sano decided to keep this relationship a secret from his family, because he knew that his family was not going to accept me and they were against Sano getting married before he finished his education.
When finally spring came and the cherry blossoms fully bloomed we got married. Now we were husband and wife his family created a chaos when they found out, but Sano didn't care he knew he had found his soulmate and didn't want to let go. His father even disowned him for marrying a girl like me. Sano left the house without even looking behind him and that was the last time his family ever saw his face.
After Sano and I got married we continued with our educations I completed mine while Sano completed his education and became an engineer. We were so happy and so in love.
A year after I completed my education I gave birth to a baby boy, Sano named him Yahiko. Yahiko looked just like his father his hair his eyes, we were now a complete family, but fate decided to play one on us.
It was a cold december night, I begged Sano that night to cancel out his flight and not to go to India. He had a big job in India and since he was one of the best engineers in the firm his employer decided to send him there, but I knew that something bad was going to happen to him if he boarded that plane that night.
He insisted and kept saying that after this job he was going to take a long break and take his son and me to a trip around Japan, but it never happened. The airplane that he was on crashed into the ocean because of the bad weather. I found out about the bad news the next morning on TV, I froze in my place when I saw my husband's name on the screen.
On that very moment my whole world crumbled around me...I felt sick, and alone and now I was a widow with a one year old son who was now fatherless.
When his family found out about the bad news they blamed me, especially his father he hated me and my son,what really broke my heart was no one from Sano's family showed up at his funeral.
Now five years later I look back and see that I don't regret not one moment I spent with Sano, my son was one year old back then but now he is six years old.
Thinking about all these memories made me forget that I have work tomorrow, so I should sleep now and hope that I dream about Sano tonight.
