She couldn't believe her own eyes; here she was looking at letter that was tucked under her house door, she picked it up and put it beside the pile of letters she had.
She didn't have to open it; she knew what was written in it.
Nothing.
It was a blank letter, even after he was gone; he was still sending her those blank letters.
Nothing written in it, but she loved to keep it, as a sign of relief that he was still alive, not wanting to break his bond with her.
Or that what she hoped
-
-
-
"Here…" He said to her, they both looked 7-years old.
"What is this?" she asked him in a soft tone as she took it, he smiled and said "A letter"
She smiled back and then opened it, it was a blank letter.
"Uh…nothing written in it…" she looked at him in a question face, he smiled and said "I know…"
"Why?"
"It's a secret that you will know soon"
-
-
-
Even after his parent had been murdered, he used to put his letter under her door.
She always keeps it and hides it somewhere she can see it again.
-
-
-
They were 12
He was still giving her the blank letter, even though she was a huge fan of Sasuke, she never asked him about the letters.
She just takes it from under her door, and keeps it where she kept the other letters.
-
-
-
He left her.
He left her on that bench after she told him that she loved him.
She went home that day, and found it under her door.
A letter, his letter to her.
She rushed and opened it, but what she saw is a blank letter, just like the other.
Just like the other
-
-
-
She didn't know why she was looking at it, but she knew that she was looking at his letter.
But this time, she took the letter he sent to her today.
She didn't expect this,
She thought it was a blank letter
But there was something written in it.
-
-
-
Every time she hears something scratching under her door, she rushes to open the door.
Wishes evolve her.
To meet him
To ask him
To look at him
To see his smirk
To look into his eyes
To speak to him
But what she always finds is the white letter.
Why?
Why would he send her those letters?
-
-
-
She sighed one more time.
It's already 21/12
He's going to slip the blank letter under her door.
She had memorized the days he would send her the letters.
9/1
12/2
15/3
22/4
5/5
25/6
15/7
21/8
19/9
1/10
11/11
And 21/12
Every month, different days, he didn't not send those letters other than those days.
She's already 15
9 years
He has been sending those letters to her, ever since they were 7.
She really didn't know what to do
He had already sent to her more than 100 letters.
A sad smile was showing over her lips, she really didn't know why he would send her those letters.
But she was really happy inside.
…
…
…
He didn't forget about her.
-
-
-
"He's back"
Those were the words; she had to swallow it inside her mind.
They were already 20 years old
He saw her.
She saw him, but she never said anything, he didn't say anything to her, he just looked at her.
-
-
-
"Death sentence"
That was they have concluded.
He will be killed tomorrow at noon; he will be killed in 22/12
Everyone was looking at Sakura, knowing that if she said anything she could save Sasuke with the help of Naruto and Kakashi.
But she didn't say anything.
She didn't know what to say.
-
-
-
She didn't know what he meant in his last letter.
A -1
E -5
I -9
K -11
L -12
O -15
S -19
U -21
V -22
Y -25
Just wanted you to know before I die.
Uchiha Sasuke
…
She didn't know what it meant.
-
-
-
"Can't you do anything about the death sentence, can't you make an exception? You are the HOKAGE GOD DAMMIT"
She shook her head; Naruto looked at her and then asked "Why?"
Sakura stood there looking at Naruto and the Hokage having this conversation.
She didn't say anything; she just looked at them and listens to the Hokage words.
"Naruto…" she took a good look at Naruto with her hazel eyes, he looked at her back with determination.
"Sasuke's life is like a puzzle, everything in his life is a puzzle placed in the wrong place"
"So we should help him and save him!" he said to her, interrupting her.
"It's not that simple, plus" she looked at Sakura and Naruto and then said what shock them the most.
"He asked for the death sentence himself if something special didn't happen…"
-
-
-
She didn't knew why she remembered that special memory, Sasuke, himself asked for the death sentence saying that if something special didn't happen in his life…
…
…he would die.
-
-
-
She didn't know why she accepted to see him, but at least she wasn't alone.
Naruto was with her.
They both looked at the same time, at the only Uchiha.
He was there, looking at nothing.
Nothing.
"Why…" Was the first words that went out of Naruto's mouth, both Sasuke and Sakura looked at him.
Not knowing that Sasuke wasn't looking at Naruto.
His eyes were on her.
On her, alone.
"…"
He didn't answer Naruto as he averted his eyes to the wall one more time.
"WHY, ANSWER ME SASUKE"
He took a glance at Naruto and looked at Sakura, she was looking at him.
He was looking back at her.
His mouth started moving.
"Am waiting…"
He answered him.
No.
He told her.
…
…he told her he's waiting
…
…but for what?
-
-
-
She kept looking at the numbers, remembering everything in her life.
"It's a secret that you will know soon"
"He asked for the death sentence himself if something special didn't happen…"
"Am waiting…" he answered him.
"Sasuke's life is like a puzzle, everything in his life is a wrong puzzle placed in the wrong place"
Her eyes widened at she started to discover this mystery.
9/1

15/3
22/4
5/5
25/6
15/7
21/8
19/9
1/10
11/11
And 21/12
Wasn't a mere random dates.
Every single day
Means a letter.
His blank letter was nothing, it meant nothing.
What was true is the day.
9, 12, 15, 22, 5, 15, 25, 21, 19, 1, 11, 21
She quickly changed the numbers into letters.
…
…her vision getting more and more wetter
…
…Tears started to fall down off her eyes
…
…Reaching to her cheek
…
…falling to the letter.
She couldn't believe it.
Ever since they were 7
It has been over 14 years
…
Everything…
The letter dropped to the floor.
Her mind started to play what he had wanted to say to her all those years.
I Love you, Saku
He loves her.
Ever since they were 7.
He
Loves
Her
She quickly looked at the clock.
…
…She just has 10 minutes before he leave her.
…leave her forever…
She quickly left her house, looking of what she's going to say when she sees him.
-
-
"Let's play" He said to her grinning.
"AAAHHH…I want to know what you wrote in this letter" She was 7.
He looked at her and then laughed before poking her forehead "You really have a huge forehead"
She started sniffing, he started to panic "No, I-I didn't mean it in a bad way"
-
-
-
She was still running trying to tell him
To tell him
Everything
Everything what she's thinking about now.
And it's
Him
Him only
-

-
"OHAYO Sasuke-kun" She was now 12, he looked at her before muttering an 'Ohayo' back
She looked up at the sky before saying "It's a beautiful day isn't it?"
He looked at the sky; a little smirk was showing on his face "Yeah"
She looked at him and then smiled
-
-
-
She didn't want him to disappear
She wants him to be with her.
With her.
By her side.
In her life.
In her dreams.
She wanted him to be her life.
Everything in her life
-
-
-
"S-Sasuke-kun?" She looked at him; he was looking back at her.
She was supposed to be in a simple mission, she didn't have any idea of meeting him here.
"Sakura"
The way he said her name, had send shiver to her.
She looked at him before telling him and asking him.
"Come back with me, please?"
-
-
-
Why?
Why did he choose to leave her alone discovering the riddle by herself?
WHY?
"I LOVE YOU!!"
She yelled as she stood in front of the crowd panting heavily.
Everyone looked at her, before opening the space for her to pass-by them.
Sakura walked forward, ignoring every civilian, every ninja.
Ignoring every eye looking at her.
She stood in front of Sasuke anger all over her face.
Tears started to fall.
Every tear dying by itself.
"Sakura-c…" he was stopped by Kakashi arm, Naruto looked at Kakashi, who shook his head.
…
"Sakura…" he said her name; she looked at him anger, sadness all over her face.
"You are so stupid, you know?" She said it to him, half yelling.
"Do you think I need this stupid puzzle?"
"…"
"I can't believe you, Sasuke-kun…" her voice gotten softer and softer.
"You could have told me…you could have told me"
"Sakura…"
"YOU COULD HAVE TOLD …"
…
…
"I love you"
She just stood there.
She didn't know what to do, but one thing came out of her month.
"I love you, too"
"Forever"
"Forever"
The only thing she did after it, is throwing her arms around him.
She hugged him, not willing to let go of him.
He hugged her back, with more emotion that she can think.

2 years later:
She was waiting for him to come to her.
But this time, he came with a red rose in his hand.
As he handed it to her, she asked him "What's with the rose?"
He smiled and kissed her fully on the lips.
"Did you forgot, Today is 25/6, this rose is a replacement for the letter."
She smiled as she took it, "But you know you should be thankful that I discovered this riddle…" she said as she took a deep intake of the rose nectar
"You discover only half of it…"
"Huh?" She looked at him; he smirked as he said one more time "You have solved half of it"
"What's the other half?"
"The number of years I spent on sending those letters"
She was still holding on the confuse look, he sighed one time before explaining for her
"I spend 16 years giving you those letters, and the number 16 is the number of letters that makes a sentence"
Before she could ask anything "Forever and Ever U.S."
She cocked her head to the side "U.S.?"
He smirked and pressed his forehead with her before answering her, "Uchiha Sakura…"
She didn't knew what to answer, she knew what he meant by this sentence, her blush was getting more and more clearer to him
-
-
-
"What did you mean by that?" she was crying more and more.
"I didn't mean that your forehead is huge in a bad way" He was blushing.
She was more confused; "It's just, I want to…" his blush was getting more and more.
"What is it?" she asked innocently while sniffing a little.
"I-I wanted say that…"
"Why are you blushing?"
"UHH…" He closed his eyes, and said what he wanted one time
"I think your forehead looks cute…"
This time she was blushing… he was still blushing…as he said
"And I want you to know, that when I grow up…"
…
…
"I will marry you…"
-
-
-
"I love you, Sasuke"
"I love you, forever, Uchiha Sakura"
"I love you more than you think, Sasuke…"
"Hn, you can never compare your love with my love"
"RIIIIIIGHT!!"
"…"
"What did you say, Sasuke?"
"Your forehead is still huge"
"W..HAT?"
"But I still think it's cute…"
"…uhh"
"Marry me, Sakura…"
"S-Sasuke-kun?"
"Marry me, Sakura, and be by my side forever…"
….
…
"Do you need an answer to it, Sasuke?"
