Hamlet and Juliet
Author's note: grrrrr!!!! It's a very busy week for me so I'm sleepy while doin' this one… please bear some mistakes, okay? Well… I know you hate cliffies! (I hate that too!) But of course sometimes, it's necessary in a story… (The suspense and the surprise, you know…) well, have nothing more to say… must start now! ((Ching! Ching!))
Well… I bet you have your own ideas on what will Sasuke do… hmm…let's see if your idea fits mine…
Standard disclaimers applied… you know, I do not own Sasuke! If I did… well, I may call myself Sakura… hehe… you, do you own him?
…
…
--Act 06 Scene 2: I'm waiting here…--
Wait for me (part 2)
…
…
She closed her eyes… her knees trembling. She looked at the crowd… then to him.
…
'He's not coming…' she thought…
…
Her lips started to open to answer…
…
…
…
Sakura closed her eyes for a while…
…
SILENCE
…
…
Then, images of Sasuke and Kagura flashed on her mind… her knees trembled again—in jealousy… she thought he likes her too… but what had happened proved her wrong…
…
…
Sasuke is desperate outside the mall… he's been waiting for minutes for a bus to stop but it seems that bad luck is with him today… not even a single taxi came…
That Neji… he planned this out carefully… he made me go outside the school…
He then started walking and grabbed his cellphone. He'll call Sakura… she is his bride—not Neji's… but if you're asking why Sasuke is like a madman now (considering that it's just a wedding in a marriage booth…) well… find the answer yourself… the answer is simple…
…
…
"If you do love her, then it's the easiest way to let her know…"
…
It's the easiest way for him to tell her his feelings… she'll think it's just for formality but somehow, he can give her an idea…
…
…besides, it's his obligation to make her wishes come true… he knew that she's been waiting for that booth to open years ago… it's her chance… and his chance as well
…
…
Sakura felt something vibrating on her hand—it was her cellphone... she didn't mind the ringing phone and stared blankly on the crowd before her…
She then lowered her gaze on the phone… it is Sasuke, calling… then, she felt anger rise on her head, blood rushing through her veins… He told me to meet him there—only to see him kissing Kagura! What was that damn thing for?!
…
…
"Hi! It's Sakura! I'm sorry but I can't answer your call right now… please just leave your message after the beep…"
Beep!
"Sakura! Why are you not answering the phone?! If Neji asked you something, don't accept it okay… just wait for me there... I'm the one who is—"
Beeeeep!
He was cut off by a long beep… "I… I'm the one who… who… will marry you…"
…
…
"Hi! It's Sakura! I'm sorry but I can't answer your call right now… please just leave your message after the beep…"
Beep!
"Sakura! Why are you not answering the phone?! If Neji asked you something, don't accept it okay… just wait for me there... I'm the one who is—"
Beep!
She heaved a deep sigh and closed her eyes… what does he mean by that? She's angry with him—on what he had done… then he's—
She felt her phone vibrate again… she rolled her eyes. She'll answer this one; anyway, the ceremony hasn't started yet because they're still waiting for the rings that the school ordered.
"Yes, hello…" She answered the call, on the other line, Sasuke sighed in relief… thank God Sakura answered the phone…
"Sakura… where are you now?"
"At the school."
"If Neji asked you to be his—"
"Why are you kissing Kagura in front of me?! What was that for?!!" She asked angrily…
"What?!"
"You're with Kagura before you leave, right?!"
"Yah… but I didn't kiss her!"
"I saw it Sasuke… no need to lie…"
"C'mon Sakura…."
"What?! I hate you for that! I thought you are going to ask or tell me something important, then I'll see you kissing a girl?!"
"It's not what you—"
"It is…"
"Why are you so angry?!!!" He can't control his temper anymore… now this is bad luck… "So what if I kissed her?! Anyway, you're not my mother, my girlfriend or something!!!" He raised his voice… it's not his doing but he's really irritated… and tired today…
On the other hand, Sakura is holding back her tears... her knees were trembling and her grasp on her phone tighten… it's the first time that Sasuke raised his voice at her…
"Yah… that's it. I'm just… I'm just nothing for you…"
Sasuke wanted to answer back but all he can do at that moment is to sigh…
"Anyway, Sasuke-san, I hope you were here… I and Neji will be the last couple to be married on the marriage booth for this day… hope you can come soon…"
"What?! But Sakura just wait for—"
…
…
"The number you have dialed is either unattended or out of coverage area, please try your call later…" toot…. Tooot… tooot…
…
"If you do love her…"
…
…
"…you do love her"
…
…
"…do love her"
…
"Love her…"
…
…
"Just…" he lowered his gaze on the ground. His fist tightened…
…
His phone rang and answered it quickly hoping that it is Sakura—but he heard a different voice on the line…
"Sasuke-teme! Where the hell are you?!" it was Naruto… he excused himself for awhile and went outside the chapel…
He sighed in defeat… "I'm here at the mall…"
"Then go now here! I thought you asked Sakura-chan but look who's there at the altar! It's Neji!!!!"
"It's her choice… I called her and she even invited me…"
"It's because you are the one that she's expecting to be there and you didn't even asked her…"
"How could you say so?" Sasuke started walking… going wherever his feet will bring him… he then wore the Bluetooth wireless headset of his phone and pocketed his cellphone… "She yelled at me on the line, started a fight with me and—…"
…
"She's crying…"
…
…
She walked slowly down the aisle… She dreamed of this school wedding… there were white and pink roses, scented candles everywhere and petals of white roses falling from nowhere…. It's exactly the scene she had watched on a movie years ago… everything was perfect… her medieval wedding dress, the setting, the song, the ambiance…
…
…and…
…
The prince charming of her dreams…
…
…
The difference now, from her greatest dream two years ago is that…
…
Neji smiled at her while lending his hand. She accepted it with a smile and both of them stood in front of the "priest"… in front of Sai…
…
…
The difference…
…
She looked at the prince beside her… he's undeniably handsome, a gentleman, an aristocrat figure. He has that appeal of getting every woman's heart. Now, she is going to marry him—even for a day, even for a school event…
…
The difference is that…
…
She doesn't need a handsome prince anymore…
…
…
She needs…
…
…
…him.
…
…
Sasuke walked faster. His eyes observing every corner of the street looking for something to ride on—a bus, a taxi, whatever! "Naruto… has the ceremony started?"
"Yah…"
"I'll be there…"
Naruto smiled… "Then I think we should wait for you here. I'll do my best to stop the wedding… remember, the ceremony will only take 10 minutes… 15 minutes will be the longest… go here as fast as you can…"
Sasuke smirked on the other line… "Heh… You should let your brain do some work…"
"Gah! You teme!!!!"
"Naruto…" his voice was soft… Naruto was silenced.
"…thank you…"
"That's alright. Now go and find the fastest way for you to be here…" then, Naruto ended the call and moved inside the chapel.
…
…
Sasuke walked, not knowing where his feet will lead him to. One thing is for sure—if he won't find anything to ride on, he'll be losing the chance to tell her… to tell her that…
…
…
He closed his eyes…
…
…
…
'Wait for me Sakura…'
…
He grabbed his mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number. "Yes, Sasuke-dono? Shouta-san at your service…" the voice on the other line answered.
"Shouta, I need the daredevil." He commanded flatly.
…
"Hai, Sasuke-dono… just wait for 10 minutes there"
"I'm in a hurry, Shouta…make it 5 minutes." After that, the call was ended by Sasuke. He pocketed his cellphone and played the mp3 tracks saved on the phone's memory card. He pocketed both of his hands as he stomped his feet irritably on the floor….
"Just… wait for me…"
…
…
She closed her eyes. She knew Sasuke doesn't like her but…
…
…
but…
…
She still hopes he will come here and save her from this wrong thing…
…
…
'I'm waiting here… Sasuke-kun…'
