Pain and Love: Precious moments
------------------------------------------------
The next day…
Sakuno woke up with a feeling like, that day will be a different day. But then, she couldn't explain it well. As a strike of light passed from her eyes, she was distracted from the loud noise coming from her clock. It was unstoppable, unless you will turn off the alarm. Her eyes twitched and opened it slowly. A blur figure of chandelier was the first thing she saw that morning. She sat on her bed and heaved a sigh and a yawn for the last time. She looked around from her room and took a peek from her alarm clock.
"6:07 A.M" she whispered as she read the time in her clock. After a few seconds of analyzing the time, her eyes got widened and jumped out of the bed, realizing that she was almost late for her first class. The clumsy Sakuno was still there, it didn't vanished. Every time she wakes up she suddenly got wild in another way without realizing that she was having her stupidity again.
"I'm going to be late!" She panicked, running from the stairs. Her mother appeared and greeted her a good morning. Sakuno replied back. But Sakuno noticed something from her mother's eyes that even her own daughter could notice but can't explain why.
"Mom, is there something wrong?" Sakuno asked worriedly and with curiosity
"Oh my, there's nothing wrong, Sakuno. I just had a bad dream last night and what would be the reason, if ever, nee?" her mother, Sakuya, smiled at her happily and left.
Sakuno smiled at her in the back and ran again to the front door. But before she could touch the silver knob, her father, Soujirou, approached her and greeted her a good morning.
"Good morning, Sakuno" Soujirou said showing his unpredictable smile
"Good morning, father" Sakuno greeted back with big tension inside of her.
"Is there something wrong, Sakuno?" Soujirou gave a worried look, "Sakuno?"
Sakuno's heart beat faster, with just the look of her face; anyone could tell that she was really frightened to the things that will come to her future; some things that are unexplainable, to be exact. Just for her to be saved, she lied "No, I'm okay I need to go now Bye" Then she kissed her father goodbye.
As she ran out of the house, her father, Soujirou watched her with a glare look. He knew she wasn't, he can figure out things that easily. Especially to the only daughter he has, and the only person that must not be took from him.
----------
She was miles away from her house and as she stopped from a post, she waited for her prince to arrive. She waited there in patience and didn't mind the people who were passing by her. After a few moments, a shadow of his prince came and at the same time, Ryoma-kun appeared. Sakuno smiled at him with happiness and looked at him joyfully.
"Ryoma-kun, good morning!" she greeted and went closer to Ryoma
"Good Morning too" Ryoma greeted back and then, they walked together.
"Ryoma-kun I will have an early dismissal today do you want to go out after class?" Sakuno said as she fixed her hair as it was blew in the wind
"Sure I'll wait in the gate after your class, is that okay?" Ryoma agreed with a low tone of voice
"Okay!"
They took the train afterwards and waited until they arrive to the place. Ryoma took his headset and listened to his music while Sakuno was concentrating with her book. Sakuno was used with this way, sometimes, Ryoma was just like as cold as ever but then after a while he'll be a lover. She knew that Ryoma was not that type of guy she wanted, but then, she was happy to have Ryoma and to be with Ryoma that she knew before and the Ryoma she loved.
Sakuno closed her book and returned it to her bag. She heaved a sigh and glanced at Ryoma, still wearing his headset and concentrating to his music. She heaved a sigh again and looked away and stared at the mirror on the other side of the train. After a few moments of silence, she felt a warm touch in her hand, and when she take a look in her hands, she saw Ryoma's hand holding hers. She looked at Ryoma and saw him looking at him. Then, Ryoma looked back but still his hand was still in Sakuno's. Now, that was the Ryoma that Sakuno had met. Ryoma-kun Stay by my side always I love you
----------
They finally arrived at the place. They were still holding their hands as they walked out of the train. Ryoma removed his headset and wore his cap back. Sakuno watched him and she started to blush. Then she really, really, really realized that Ryoma is really handsome when he's wearing his cap together with his solemn look.
"What's wrong?" Ryoma suddenly asked
"N-Nothing!" Sakuno denied as she blushed more. Stupid Sakuno, she thought. Then, Sakuno let go of Ryoma's hand.
Ryoma didn't mind and so he moved his hand away and continued to walk. Sakuno once again, screamed something inside her head, UGH. You're very stupid Sakuno!
After, both of them already arrived at Sakuno's university. Ryoma told her a goodbye and walked away. Sakuno just stared at her prince walking away, she felt guilty and bit her low lip and thought of a tactic so that, Ryoma might not think that she's mad.
"Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno shouted and ran towards Ryoma. And as a respond, Ryoma looked back and got surprised.
Sakuno gave a sweet kiss to Ryoma in the cheek. Then afterwards, Sakuno said "Goodbye!" and smiled at him. She turned back and chuckled.
Sakuno, Ryoma thought and watched Sakuno as she entered the school. Then he gave a smirk.
----------
After classes, Sakuno was asked to stay for a little while to send the papers to the faculty room—she was one of the trustful students in her university—and so; she agreed and brought the papers.
"Sir, here are the papers you asked me to bring!" Sakuno said as she placed the papers on the teacher's table
"Thanks, Miss Ryuzaki, you can go now!" the professor said and Sakuno left the room.
When she finally went out, she immediately looked outside—in the gate—the window and looked if Ryoma was already there. She smiled and hurriedly ran to the stairs after seeing her prince standing there beside the gate. She skipped in the stairs until she was on the school grounds. She stopped on the entrance and walked innocently towards the gate.
"Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno greeted as she reached Ryoma in the gate
"Where do you want to go?" Ryoma asked
"Anywhere" Sakuno answered back
"Like where?"
"Uhmm… I don't have a clue" Sakuno lied. She wanted to let Ryoma think for a place where they could go.
"How about in the park?"
"Park?" Sakuno thought twice "okay!"
-----In the park-----
Ryoma brought Sakuno to a park. Though the park was simple, the simplicity of the place was not like the other parks. Sakuno started to smile to see the cherry blossom tree blooming, while its petals were spreading all over as the winds blew them away slowly. Ryoma-kun just followed Sakuno and while Sakuno was like dancing, Ryoma-kun would take her picture secretly.
A few moments later, after dancing and smiling, Sakuno pulled Ryoma to a quiet place in the park, where there were benches and some lovers. Ryoma got surprised and started to get red because of shyness. But then, whenever Ryoma would ask Sakuno to leave, Sakuno will pout and act childishly, and Ryoma doesn't have a chance to fight back. As they sat on the bench and listened to the sweet music of the wind, Sakuno could feel that they were really lovers. But then, when Ryoma was not really talking, she got pissed off and started to talk.
"This place is nice, nee Ryoma-kun?" Sakuno praised
"Uhmm… Yeah" Ryoma replied back
Sakuno tried to think of another topic but she couldn't. She said to herself, I've been brainwashed!
After a few moments of silence, a music of an ice cream stand was played, instead of love music
"Ice cream?" Sakuno murmured with weakness and looked at Ryoma.
Ryoma noticed it; he thought that Sakuno might be already bored because of the tone of the her voice as she said Ice Cream
"Wait me here" Ryoma said as he stood up
"Where are you going?" Sakuno asked again
"I'll return after a few minutes!" Ryoma shouted and started to walk faster.
"Wait, Ryoma-kun!" Sakuno shouted but then, Ryoma was not looking back nor stopping. She suddenly realized that, Ryoma might be going to buy an ice cream. But as she watched Ryoma, she wondered more when she realized that Ryoma turned on the right and passed the Ice cream vendor.
"What?" Sakuno wondered again.
She waited patiently and with curiosity. In silence, Sakuno hummed herself to avoid boredom. She watched every couples passes her by, and she wished that those two couple were them (Ryoma and Sakuno). Few moments later, Ryoma was not yet coming back. Sakuno began to worry that Ryoma might already leave her there alone. But before Sakuno could think of another negative thought, her prince came.
"Sorry" Ryoma apologized as he bowed in front of her
"No, that's okay!" Sakuno accepted the apology, "I thought you already left!"
"No! Of course I won't leave you!" Ryoma shouted "Are you mad?"
"Don't worry, I'm not" Sakuno looked away
"I'm very sorry" Ryoma apologized again, "I thought you were already bored… so…"
Sakuno got surprised and looked back at Ryoma, and she started to blush
"…I bought you something!" Ryoma added and handed over a paper bag
"Something?" Sakuno got puzzled. She took the bag and felt excitement. Ryoma on the other hand sat beside Sakuno and watched her, "Can I open it?" Sakuno asked
"Sure if you want, you can open it now!" Ryoma said with glee
Sakuno opened the bag quickly and as she took a little peek on the bag, a big smile suddenly appeared from her lips, "Ryoma-kun"
"Did you like it?" Ryoma asked
Sakuno took the item inside the bag and smiled into it, it was a doll. A doll that looks like Sakuno, a braided haired doll with red cheeks, and was wearing a shirt and a skirt like what Sakuno wore during her tennis practice when she was still in first year high school.
"Thank you" Sakuno turned at Ryoma and quickly embraced him tightly. Ryoma showed a smile and was glad to see Sakuno that way.
The day ended with happiness and enjoyment. Sakuno was still holding the doll in her hand while the both of them were walking home. As the sunset finally disappeared, Sakuno and Ryoma spend the little time in sharing their stories. But when they reached Sakuno's house, they needed to tell their goodbyes.
When they separated their ways, Sakuno entered the house with a big smile while Ryoma turned on his headset and listened in it as he smiled.
Sakuno headed herself to her room and before she could touch the knob, her father, Soujirou, appeared from her back.
"Where have you been?" Soujirou asked, stopping himself from getting mad
"F-Father?" Sakuno looked back and hid the doll behind her, "I…I just arrived from school"
"I see…" Soujirou noticed the doll but ignored it to avoid a ruckus, "See you in dinner"
"Okay" then Soujirou left, Sakuno opened the door and entered her room. She opened the lights and she started to stare her doll that was given to her by Ryoma that afternoon. Sakuno starred at it more and smiled, but before she could have looked to another thing, she felt something in her body that cause her to ran towards her bath room.
She threw up more than twice, and afterwards, she stared her reflection in the mirror. She could see the tears from her eyes and covered her mouth by her hand, it can't be, she thought. She grabbed her abdomen and her eyes showed great surprise, No way I'm pregnant?
