LAST CHAPTER:
"What is it, Sakura?" he asked me again. That's the third time that he has asked me that question and still, I can't answer it properly!
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
o0o---- Sakura's Point of View ----o0o----
I sighed and decided, finally. I didn't think about the thought that he might not like me anymore. Wait! What if he DIDN'T like me anymore! What will I do! Well, we'll just have to find out. That's why I have to say this to him… "Syaoran…I… I still…" I tried to tell him. But then, my celphone rang. So… so much for trying anyway…
At first, I calmed myself before answering the phone. But Syaoran took that as, I-don't-wanna-answer-it-anyway so, he told me, "Um… Sakura… You might want to…"
Before he could even finish his sentence, I answered the phone. "Moshi, moshi…" I answered kind of pissed off. Whoever this is, when I see him or her, he or she is gonna pay for this…
Syaoran started to drive again as soon as I answered the phone since he knew that I won't be able to say what I wanted to say since I was on the phone with… sigh… work. I know that it is already 8 in the evening that time… But, Yumina still had to call me to tell me that I had 5 meetings to be exact, tomorrow… Argh… Tomorrow will be another hectic day… I was starting my earliest meeting at 8 in the morning. The last one would be at 5 in the afternoon. Another long day.
As soon as I hung up with Yumi, I found out that we are already in front of my house. Sighed in defeat that I wasn't able to tell Syaoran, I walked out of the car and said, "Thanks… Syaoran…"
"No problem. I'll see you around…" He said before he drove away.
o0o---- Syaoran's Point of View ----o0o----
What was she trying to say…? Hm… Sigh… At that thought, I sighed and drove myself home. When I reached my house and parked that car at the garage, I got my keys and went inside the house. I went to my room and stumbled around to look for that little notebook that I was writing at.
I'm really confused at what I am feeling. I don't know if I still like Sakura that same way. What I know is that the feeling that I had for her before have been slowly vanishing each day. Even though I know that absence makes the heart grow fonder… Argh… That line… I don't believe it! Absence makes the heart grow weaker. Well… That's what I thought anyway. Cause if that IS true, then I would have loved Sakura more. But, that time that she told me that I have to move on, I knew it then and there that she didn't like me anymore… The way that she did 8 years ago… Only, things then really didn't work out because of this stupid training that my mom and dad made me do.
I wrote down all what I'm feeling at the little notebook. How I have made myself a fool in front of Sakura weeks ago when I told her that I still liked her. I know that she won't return that love that I had for her.
After a few minutes of writing on that little notebook, I grabbed my boxers from my clothes rack at the back of my room door and a towel and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Then, I will sleep these problems away…
o0o---- Sakura' Point of View ----o0o----
Stupid Sakura! He doesn't like you anymore…! I thought. I was taking a bath when everything that had happened before came back to me like they just happened yesterday. Flashes of memories kept on coming back to me. Is this because Syaoran is back in my life? But… He doesn't like me anymore.
NO! I have to tell him… This is just a feeling…! I thought again. This time, I am very determined to tell him right then and there! I stood up from the tub and dried myself up then dressed up and went straight to my room to think things out.
That next day, I woke up at 7 knowing that I had a meeting at 8… Yup… I wake up easily nowadays even though I sleep really late. I got up and walked towards my closet to grab some work clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change. I still feel so sleepy… I was still awake at 1:30 in the morning thinking about things… But, I have to go… I have meetings to attend to…
The time didn't quite run fast today. I was here in the conference room having my 2nd meeting for the day… It's already 11 in the morning and I still feel so sleepy. I have coffee right beside me but, it still didn't help. I still feel so sleepy. Lucky Yumina was here to pinch me once in a while…
Finally, lunch came. I was really glad to be out of that conference room… Yet, I still have 3 more meetings to attend to… I wonder how Syaoran is doing? I thought. Argh! Enough about him for today! You have lots of things to think about before you think about him… Work, work, work, work, work, work… WORK! That's all that I should think about for today… But still, his face keeps on popping out of no where… Argh… Now I'm the one who can't get over him… I hate this…
Suddenly, Yumina peeped from the door of the office and said, "Sakura-chan… You have a visitor…" just as I sat down on my chair at the office.
"Um… Who is it? I wanna rest… I feel like I'm gonna collapse…" I said. I didn't know that Yumina had already let my visitor to come inside with surprised me at the voice cause it said, "Didn't sleep well last night, I see…"
I looked up and saw the visitor and to my surprise, it was Ray. I haven't seen him in a while since that last day that I told him I had something to do… I jumped up and ran towards him yelling, "Ray! I missed you!"
I know that I still feel sore… But hey, I was kinda excited to see Ray again, and in such a short notice.
After a few minutes, we parted and we sat down at the couch of my office and talked. It had been weeks since we last saw each other.
1 o'clock came and Ray had to go back to his office. Today, Syaoran didn't show up. He hasn't contacted me for the day. A few minutes later, Yumina once again popped in my office and announced that my next meeting will be in 15 minutes and that I have to be at the conference room 10 minutes earlier.
Once again, I was there in the conference room having this another boring meeting…
o0o---- Syaoran's Point of View ----o0o----
That lunch, I went to Sakura's office. I know that she had a lot of things to do today but, I still wanted to be with her. When I arrived there, I went straight to her office floor and asked Yumina, "Hey… Is Sakura around?"
Yumina looked at me and smiled. Then she said, "She's in there with Shinohara Ray. Would you like to come in or wait for them to finish?"
I looked at her in shock? I don't know… Maybe because Ray hasn't shown up for weeks now and here he comes, barging in her life again. "Uh… Never mind… I have to go… Just don't tell her that I came by, okay…" I said.
She nodded and looked sad. Maybe she felt sad of me or something. I don't know. Then I left the building. I felt hurt and yet I feel happy for her? I'm kinda confused at the moment… But, I guess this is for the best, right?
o0o---- Normal Point of View ----o0o----
That day, Sakura and Syaoran hadn't talked to each other. It as like they avoided each other or something. And yet, what they both don't know is that something is missing in their lives that day. Sakura had been working so hard that she barely noticed. She was looking for it but didn't look for it thoroughly that day. Syaoran was so worked up, too. But to him, he had recognized this something that was missing. The feeling of being with someone you like.
"I'm home!" Sakura yelled as she went inside her house and greeted her father, with a kiss on the cheek, who was at the kitchen making their dinner.
Her father smiled at her and asked her, "How was your day, honey?"
Sakura grabbed her apron and started to help her father. "Urgh… Very hectic… I had so many meetings… But all of them went well, I suppose…" And that was when she noticed the food that her father was preparing. "Father, why are there too many food prepared? That's too much for us…" She asked.
"Touya's coming to visit with Yukito. You know Yukito's diet…" her father teased and giggled. Yukito now works in the Ronar Company. A few blocks near the Kodocha no Tsubasa building, for short, Sakura's building. He is the assistant of the President there so you can say that he doesn't get out much.
Sakura's eyes looked surprised and excited at the same time. She hasn't seen Yukito since before Touya had graduated from college. "Yehay! I can't wait!" she said with a smiled plastered on her face.
After an hour, Touya and Yukito arrived. Yukito had brought someone with him and according to him, he was the president of the company. "I hope you don't mind… He wanted to meet you guys… and I guess make a contract with Kodocha no Tsubasa…" Yukito said with a smile.
Touya was blaring. He didn't want this guest to ruin their night. "Gaki no baka!"
Sakura and Fujitaka looked at him, confused. Sakura had a hunch that she knew who the other guest was since there is only one person in this world whom Touya calls "Gaki" and calls him a "baka" "Uh… Minna, I would like you meet the President of the Ronar Company, Li Syaoran…"
