"Daddy, what's happening? Where is Mommy?" asked a 4 year old child with tears in her eyes while clutching "Boom Bom", her beloved stuffed toy. She's wearing a red tank top with short blue checkered shorts and her bunny slippers.
"Mommy's getting your new sister Sakura. She's gonna be alright, don't worry. Mommy's alright. She's going to be fine. Mommy is strong." The 28 year old man assured himself.
The girl named Sakura clutched Boom Boom tighter with her right arm and wiped her tears with her left arm. She grasped her father's hand and held it close to her heart. They sat at the benches outside the Operating Room with the man praying silently that his wife would be alright.
After a few hours, the doctor came out of the room with a sad looking face. The man looked up and understood what the doctor meant. His face wasn't anywhere near a smile or a grin. The doctor patted the man's shoulder and said,
"I'm sorry we couldn't save her. We tried our very best. She asked for the baby to be saved if there ever were complications that would happen. It's a baby girl." The doctor walked away leaving the man and Sakura to comfort themselves. Sakura couldn't quite put her finger on what the person wearing a mask, a cap and a long gown had said. She looked up to see her father stifling his tears. He was facing the wall with his left arm bent upwards to support his head. Sakura felt something wasn't right. She felt something wrong. Something had happened. It happened to her mother.
"Daddy, why are you crying? What happened to Mommy? Daddy, tell me. Daddy! Daddy!" she tugged at her dad's shirt, crying and screaming and throwing Boom Boom on the floor in the process. The man hugged her tightly, he was afraid to let her go. He kept saying "I love you, I will never leave you. I promise I'll take care of you both. I'll be a good father to both of them." Sakura understood what he had meant. Her mom had died while in labor with her sister. She cried. Hard.
Cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby, come on
You know it's not even fair
And I'm first round, knocked down (baby) the floor
You know I'm already there
And the sun sets high, and the moon is low
Oh, cause when words meet heartbeats
Baby, you'll know
"God, I love this song. It's a classic." A girl with blonde hair said. She had on was a black leather tube dress that reached above her knee, a matching pair of diamond earrings, pair of high heeled sandals and a pearl necklace.
"You have always loved every song Parachute has made, Ino." Her friend replied. Her friend had brown hair that was tied into a single bun at the back of her head. She was wearing a black silky turtleneck dress that also reached above her knee, a matching pair of black pearl earrings, pair of high heeled sandals and a diamond necklace.
Well there's silence now
There's nothing more to gain
And it isn't right if I can't run away
Because it kills the moon
When there's nothing left to say
And all I can do
Is sit and let the air speak for you
"Oh shut up, Tenten." Ino faced her friend and laughed.
"Hey Ino, don't you think that that guy over there's kinda cute?" Tenten pointed to the guy on stage that was playing the keyboard. He tied his hair like a pony tail, looking like a pineapple. He wore black denim jeans, a black shirt that said 'Baby, I'm too hot for you.', with a smiley and a black pair of vans.
"I don't know, Tennie. He seems just too out of this world for me." Ino said with a poker face and laughed.
Ringggggg.
I'm too tired, I'm not too tired to know what you're doing
And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to sing
And I'm not too tired, I'm not too tired to know what you're doing with me
Ringgggggg.
"Oh wait, someone's calling. Excuse me for a bit. Sorry, be right back." Ino apologized and went to corner of the room.
"Hello?"
"Ino, is that you?"
"Saku? Oh My God! Big sis, how are you?" Ino's eyes widened in surprise.
"I'm alright, how are you?"
"I'm doing great. I miss you so much sis, I can't wait to be there."
"Me either. Don't worry, in a few months, you'll be here in no time, I promise." Sakura reassured her.
"I hope so sis." She smiled. They stayed silent for a while.
"Oh My God, I'm late for work. I'll call you again in a few days. I have to go Ino."
"Already?" Ino sighed.
"Sorry Ino, I owe you."
"Love you Saku, take care."
"Love you Ino, take care of yourself." Ino hanged up. She had tears in her eyes. God, she had missed her sister so much. It's been months since she last called. The last time she called was on her birthday, the 23rd of September. She wiped her tears and went back to her table with Tenten. When she arrived, there was no one sitting there. She wondered where Tenten could have went.
"Comfort room, probably." She thought.
"Ino, I've got someone who would love to meet you." A voice behind her said.
"Tennie! Who is it?" She hugged her friend.
"Come on, follow me." Ino followed Tenten all the way backstage. This shocked her.
"How the hell did Tenten go backstage? Is she VIP or something?" she thought.
"Guys, I would like to introduce to you my friend, actually best friend, Ino." Tenten stepped aside.
"Hi!"Ino waved her hand.
"Ino, this is Sasuke. He's on the vocals and lead guitarist of the band, this is Naruto, he's the drummer boy, this is Neji, he's the bass player, and this is Shikamaru, he's the keyboard player. They're the members of the band called 'Dauntless Core'. Plus, they're my childhood friends." Tenten pointed to each of the guys inside the room. They all looked at her and smiled.
