I'm so damn sorry. I promised I'll update it by May end but I've honestly got no time. I am finishing this story and I am deleting the other ones. Sincerely I've got no time and I won't get any until my board exams in March get over.
So this is the last chapter …
The day had started out as bright and sunny, but by the noon, there was a storm inside and outside the church.
Sakura reached her car, the previous moments playing in her mind and tears streaking her cheeks.
She quickly started her car and that's when she heard a deadly scream.
Her heart wanted to rush and see what might have happened but her mind reasoned against it.
She knew that if she went inside, she wouldn't be so resolved to reach the airport.
So letting it go, she made her way out in the streets of Hong Kong; she had decided to leave forever.
The ride to airport hadn't been so long, but for sakura 10 seconds were equivalent to 10 years. Every song that radio played was like a knife stabbing her heart. Every red light made her cringe more and every couple she saw made her cry more.
Every street she crossed brought back the memories of her past.
The park where she had first met him…
The tennis arcade where they used to play.
And stopping at a red light, she glanced around to see the cliff, the cliff where she first realized she loved him.
Where she had told him "life's not always chocolates and candies, it's even better"
Life was not better, it had turned bitter. Too bitter to live.
……….
Everyone was gathered where christen lay…
Her pulse was low and the ambulance had been called for.
Syaoran had tears down his face and his hand held Christen's hand.
The ambulance had reached and syaoran had taken christen to ambulance in his arms. The press was outside covering every second's detail.
Yelan li told one of her daughters to talk to the press, while she followed in her car and syaoran accompanied christen in the ambulance.
Christen was awake. Half dead, she still had a tranquil smile on her face.
She gripped syaoran's hand tightly and got his attention.
"Syaoran, marry sakura"
"ssh"
"Listen to me, she loves you and you love her. There's no me"
"Don't say so christen. Please no one's gonna die"sakura loves me?
"I know the almighty ahs asked for me, he had sent me for uniting you together…it was destiny"
"Shhhh...please don't say so"
………………..
Sakura reached airport at the same time, one of her colleagues brought her luggage. She took care of her luggage and gave him the keys to take the car back home.
She checked in, only to find the flight delayed by an hour.
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
distant faces with no place left to go
without you within me I can't find no rest
where I'm going is anybody's guess
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
She walked over to the glass windows, watching the rain pattering patterns on window. She imagined syaoran on the other side. Frustrated with her imagination, she punched the window. A pre teen girl reached her and asked her "is anything the matter?"
Sakura couldn't answer but all she did was hug the girl and cry.
"Please don't cry, aunty" was all the girl could say. Ironical was the situation, an immature stranger's words were giving her strength.
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
…..
The whole family and tomoyo and eriol waited in waiting room.
Christen's condition was deteriorating by seconds.
Syaoran stood outside while doctors rushed for her help. One of the doctors told syaoran that christen wants to talk to him.
He entered the ICU. Christen took hold of his palm and laid it on her forehead and
Said "promise me that you'll find sakura and tell her your love, today. I know I won't be here anymore. I'm letting you free."
"I don't want to leave your side."
"Syaoran, that's my last wish. I want to die in peace"
And she smiled for the last time. Her heartbeats making a straight lien on the ECG.
Syaoran looked at the doctors, each's face mirroring the truth. He rushes out and met eriol on his way.
"Where is sakura?"
"I don't know"
Syaoran held eriol by his collar. "Tell me where the hell is she?"
"she's at the airport" but it was not eriol who had answered, it was tomoyo.
Syaoran mouthed her thanks and ran out.
…..
I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't want to make you face this world alone
I want to let you go (alone)
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Sakura reached her seat and sat, wiping her tears.
She glanced around to see lots of people gathered around the television sets.
She asked the lady who sat next to her.
"I don't know but some lei's bride fell on stairs and died" replied the lady.
"What? Was it syaoran li?"
"Yes, I suppose so"
"Oh god"
……….
Syaoran ran to his car, got in and rushed off to the airport.
He got stuck in a traffic jam 2-3 kilometers before the airport.
He slammed his fist on the steering. Where are you, sakura?
…..
Sakura rushed out of the airport. Holding the hem of her bridesmaid dress, she was drenched in rain, looking for a taxi.
She ran out of the terminal area, stopping every few meters for a taxi. Talk of luck, she couldn't find any free.
Half of them didn't pay attention to her.
She ran and ran. At last one taxi passed her by but it came back. She rushed to the taxi on other side.
She didn't even notice the cars coming in the heavily crowded street. As she ran across, one of the cars skidded to a halt in front of her, another one coming after it, ran across and collided with a pole. The whole traffic jammed.
The car driver alighted and cried out loud "what do you think you are doing miss?"
…………………
Syaoran got out of his car and ran unto the point which was the root of the jam.
He asked an on looker about the matter.
"Some girl had come in the path" he said.
Syaoran ran up and heard the same sweet voice.
"I'm sorry sir but it's an emergency, I have to reach hospital"
Syaoran made his way through the crowd and saw the very recognizable figure, drenched with rain.
"Sakura?"
Sakura turned to the source of voice.
"Syaoran?" syaoran ran and hugged her.
"Where do you think you were going?"
"But christen?"
No answer came and sakura found a tear streaking syaoran's cheek.
"No!" she jerked out of his arms.
Syaoran held her back, took her in his arms while she cried.
"It was god's will."
The two looked at each other for what seemed an eternity.
"I'm sorry I realized only today that I loved you more than anything." syaoran said.
What did
you say?
I know I saw you singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
What did you say?
Sakura looked in syaoran's eyes.
End of the day
the hour hand has spun
but before the night is done
I just have to hear
those sweet words
Spoken like a melody
"But I loved you forever"
And though both of them were drenched in rain, their eyes had tears, and everybody was watching them, they shared the kiss that was meant to be.
………………
That's the end…..
