As The Last Petal Falls: Chapter 7

Last Chapter

Meiling

I looked up and saw Ryu's cinnamon pools staring at me. He came forward and hugged. I was shocked to say the least.

"Meiling, please don't cry. I can't bear to see you cry." He said to me. I smiled up at him, he smiled back.

"Ryu, do you think I could ever find the one I love?" I asked looking at his caring eyes.

"Yes. I know somebody is out there looking for your love." He said back. I smiled again. The first time I saw him, I knew I loved him already. I just couldn't bring myself to admit it to him. I can't bear the heart broke if he reject me. "You're the most beautiful girl I have ever laid eyes on. I'm sure every notice that." He continued.

I looked up at him and smiled. "Thank you, Ryu. You're always the one that make me feel better." I said. He hugged me once again as I laid my head on his shoulder and fell asleep with a smile on my face.

A week has past since that horrible incident that happened to Tomoyo. All the girls knew it will happen again, it will happen to them too. They have just realized that they have truly found the ones they love, the question is; will they love the girls back? The girls cannot admit their feeling for the three Li princes because they feared of rejection. They feared of heart break. They don't want to feel that.

The girls know that they are running out of time. Even if they feared heart break, they just have to confess. They just have to confess their love. Tomoyo only have four more months, and both Sakura and Meiling both have six more months to confess.

"Guys, we have to tell them how we feel, we're running out of time!" Meiling cried. "We have to tell them! We have to take the chance! We have to tell them!"

"We know Meiling, we're just afraid. We and even you were scared. We can't bear to live if they say no. We're afraid to feel the heart break." Sakura whispered.

"The only thing we could do, if you guys don't want to tell them is find Sue Yang, the witch which gave us this curse." Tomoyo said.

"That's nearly impossible Tomoyo! There is only one choice! We have to tell them! If you guys don't want to, so be it! But tonight, I'm going to tell them!" Meiling cried frustrated as she walked off.

"She's mad." Sakura said looking after her younger sister. "I feel bad."

"It's not our fault Sakura; it's her choice to tell him." Tomoyo said as she too walked off. Sakura was left all alone to think about her decision.

Dinner Time

After a short day, it is time for dinner. Everybody was awfully quiet. Fork scraping and knife cutting is the only thing that can be heard. Tension was building among the people. No one dared to say a word, no one dared to break the tension. Finally, someone dared to speak.

"So Tomoyo, how are you feeling?" Queen Yelan asked breaking the silence.

"I'm okay." Tomoyo answered with a small smile. Back to silence. After that tiny talk no one spoke. Queen Nadeshiko and Queen Yelan are thinking what to say to bring up a conversation.

After another fifteen minutes dinner was over. Still, no one dared to talk. They got up from their chairs and headed their separate ways.

"Ryu!" Meiling called to the leaving Ryu.

"Yes?" Ryu asked.

"Um, can you meet me at the garden in five minutes?" Meiling asked.

"If you want we could go there right now, I have nothing to do anyways." Ryu said. Meiling agreed and they both headed towards the garden.

Garden

"So what do you want to talk about?" Ryu asked. 'This is the perfect time to tell Meiling how I feel'.

"Um, well you see, ever since the first time I met you and well," Meiling started. "Well, wo ai ne." She muttered.

"What did you say?" Ryu asked not quite hearing what Meiling said.

"Um, never mind, it's nothing important." Meiling said as she got up and started to leave. Ryu grabbed her wrist.

"No Meiling, I know that it's something important, so what is it?" Ryu asked again.

"No really, it's nothing important." Meiling said.

"Well, I have something to tell you too." Ryu said.

"What is it?" Meiling asked.

"Wo ai ne." Ryu said. Meiling was shocked to say the least. 'There, I said it. Oh please let her feel the same thing!'

"Honto?" Meiling asked.

"Honto." Ryu replied with a smile.

"Well. What I'm trying to say is wo ai ne too." Meiling replied with a smile. Ryu's smiled widened.

"Honto?" Ryu asked.

"Honto." Meiling said. Ryu bent down and captured Meiling's lips into a passionate kiss. Behind them a glass bubble appeared inside is the rose. Meiling looked at the bubble and gasped. The rose has no longer three petals but it has more. As soon as Ryu and Meiling admit their love for each other the rose bloomed into a brand new rose. Meiling no longer has to go through any pain whenever a petal is falling. She is now happy with the person she loves most. Ryu bent down again and captured Meiling's lips into another passionate kiss with the full bloom rose hovering above them.
