Loving the Beloved Once Again

Chapter One The Unbelievable luck

"Oh my God, oh my GOD, OH MY GOD!" the shriek fulfilled the office and caught everyone's attention. Suddenly, the room became silent.
"I can't believe this is happening I just CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" exclaimed Sakura, staring at the letter in her hands, a look of shock on her face. The letter was faxed just a moment ago, her hands clutched onto it, making it crumble a little, as if she lets go, it'll fly away.

"What is it, Sakura? What is it?"
Snapped back to reality by the anxious voice of Tomoyo, Sakura turned her head just to see her best friend rushing over to where she stood.

"I…I…"stammered Sakura, suddenly lost for words.

Tomoyo looked over Sakura's shoulder, at the letter in Sakura's hands. The letter seemed quite formal, and fancy too. Seeing that Sakura isn't able to tell the news, she read it aloud.

"Dear Sakura Kinomoto, we are pleased to inform you that you have won the draw of the BlueWhales Cruise Company. You have won a free 3-week trip on a boarding ship of this company. You are also welcome to bring a friend.

Congratulations!
Signed – Head of theBlueWhales Cruise Company Lottery Service-David Shauki"

Following the letter, are the tickets and the time, location and itinerary information of the trip.

"Wow Sakura, you've won the lottery ticket," said Tomoyo flatly. Then, hit by sudden realization of what she just said, she gasped, a smile lit onto her cunning face and repeated with excited expression, "Sakura! You've just won the lottery!"

The office suddenly filled with whispers about this event, excitement passed from one to another, some people even acted as if they are the ones who won.

Some congratulated Sakura – Kari, Nika, and Sitan. But Sakura just stood there, shocked as before, numb as ever. TheBlueWhales Company has a special draw every once a year, within the company's co-workers. The winners get to go on a 3-week vacation on the luxury ship of BlueWhales, only the rich people can pay the expense. The point of this is to get everyone into their spirits.

Thinking this through repeatedly, Sakura couldn't believe her luck. BlueWhales is a huge company, well heard around the world. There are only three winners, out of all the workers of the company around the world.

20 minutes later, noise had died down a little in the office. Sakura was still staring at the letter, after she read it over and over about a million times, had she accepted this one simple statement, and she jumped and exclaimed: "I've won a 3-week vacation!"
A/N: she's not stupid or anything, she just always has bad luck and it's hard to believe this amazing event.

Home

"Dinner is ready!" Tomoyo called out from the dining room, which associates with the kitchen, and connects to the living room, combining with a hallway, which extends to two bedrooms and a bathroom.

Tomoyo and Sakura shared this apartment since they came out of university. The apartment is small but cozy, yet pretty expensive, all to the fact that it's close to their workplace.

"I'm coming!" Sakura called out from her bedroom, and came out just as Tomoyo set the last dish onto the dining table.

"Mmmm….Your cooking smells better every time!" Complimented Sakura and she was awarded by Tomoyo's smile.

"Seems like this lottery you won really lit up your mood!"

"Actually," Sakura's face turned solemn at the mention of the subject, "Actually, I'm thinking that I shouldn't go on the vacation. I mean I—"

"You what?" interrupted Tomoyo. Who in their right brain would turn down such invitation?

"Calm down!" almost nervous over her best friend's reaction, and stammered: "Look, wh-what I mean was 3-weeks are such a long time! We'll be leaving behind so many things…and…and…" unable to continue herself. When she said "we", she meant Tomoyo and herself, she would be bringing her best friend on such trip, obviously.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" questioned Tomoyo.

"Like…Like our jobs, you know? What if our boss decides to hire someone else? And our apartment! Who's going to take care of everything while we are gone?"

Tomoyo sighed, if you are trying to find excuse, at least find some attainable ones, she thought, Sakura, Sakura, you need a tutor for being a better liar! She sighed again at the thought.
"Sakura, you know as well as I do that this trip is granted by our company! Our boss doesn't have a good excuse to replace us even if he wants to. And even if he does hire someone new, it won't be permanent. And as for the apartment, I think it won't collapse without us for three weeks!" she winked at the sarcasm.

Sakura sighed, as always, she's able to turn down my excuses without much effort, she thought, I'm a rotten liar.

"Admit it Sakura, those are not the reasons why you don't want to go." Sakura said nothing, and tried hard to avoid contact with her best friend. "Sakura," suddenly, her expression softened, and she stated. "You are afraid, you are afraid this is all a joke. And you are afraid it's going to remind you of your past with him, the short time you spent with him on the."

Damn, she knows exactly what I'm thinking, Sakura thought, why, oh, why do I have such an understandable friend?

"Am I right?" not pausing for an answer, she continues, "You are still remembering the woman's words, am I right, Sakura?" this time, she stopped.

Still silent, Sakura nodded, still trying to avoid contact.

"Sakura," Tomoyo's voice is suddenly very soothing with a hint of worry that made Sakura glance up, their gaze locked at once, "Like I said it's been three years, you have to forget it by now! Surely, you couldn't believe her words! You know that the fortune telling can't be true!"

"But it is! Tomoyo, it has to be!" Sakura said, trying to convince Tomoyo, who is the least bit superstitious. "I got the wheel card! The wheels of fortune! She said I would be having bad luck for 3 years because of that stinking wolf!" her eye brows furrowed at the thought of that detested man, then came anger, "He has ruin the past 3 years of my life."

"Yes, we all hated him for what he did, but the past is the past, you have to move on! Forget him! Forget the fortuneteller! Forget the card! Forget the time you spent with him on the ship! Like you said, he has ruined 3 years of your life already, are you going to let him ruin this vacation too?"

Sakura wanted to argue, but thinking over Tomoyo's words, she found it true. The stinking little wolf is the reason at the bottom of the pyramid of all the bullshit that happened to her. But she doesn't have to let him ruin this one. "You're right, Tomoyo, you're right. Fine, the decision is made. 3-week vacation, here we come!"

Tomoyo cheered uncontrollably: "Yes! 3-week shopping here I come!" then, realizing what she had said, "I mean…hehe…oops…"

#! "Just as I was thinking what a great friend I have! Tomoyo!" BOINK
