Chapter 3- The Search Is Over

"Sakura…"

"Oh! hi….. Sasuke. It seems that you are already leaving the hospital. Are you better now?" Sakura asked when he noticed Sasuke was not wearing the patient's dress.

"Yes. After I finish packing my things, I will go now". Sasuke answered.

"Ah… Maybe it suggest goodbye". Sakura sigh and she wave her hand. "I better go now and take care". Sakura face the other direction to go in her assigned patient's room. Tears fell in her eyes and she wipes it quickly. "Goodbye Sasuke"………

"Hey! You forehead girl!" Sasuke exclaimed. Sakura looked at him in annoyance.

"What did you said, Mr. Perfect Man?" Sakura answered back with irritated tone. Sasuke grab her shoulder and they ran together toward the place where he first saw Sakura when he was confined in the hospital……… under the Cherry Blossom tree. "What do you want from me!" Sakura shouted.

"You forgot this". Sasuke gave the thing she had left.

"This is my diary! Did you read it? What have you learned? You now know my secrets. What..." Her words were cut off when she saw something 'familiar'. "Hey! That is my necklace. Where have you found it? I've been looking for that for how… many… weeks". She quickly covers her mouth when she noticed that she almost said her 'top most secret'.

"So it's really you". Sasuke said.

"Really me? Of course I'm really Sakura. What are you … talking….about?" Sakura said while worrying.

"Don't deny it! You are the one who saved my life from Itachi. I got that necklace from the one who saved my life while I am still in the forest fighting with my brother. Sakura, don't hide it from me. I read your diary and I found out that…"

"That I am the one who saved your life!" Sakura continued. "What if I am really the one who saved you? It doesn't matter now. That was 2 weeks ago! I almost forgot that!" Sakura said while hiding her tears. Her most frightening day has come. She doesn't want Sasuke to know that she was the girl who saved his life because she wants to forget all the memories related to him. Accidentally, she left her necklace in the forest when she was fighting Itachi. She doesn't know were to find it. She doesn't know that her necklace was left to Sasuke then her diary fell in her bag then Sasuke was also the one who found it. The craziest part was when Sasuke read her diary without her permission. He was able to learn all her secrets especially her 'top most secret'. "What now Sasuke? It is not a big deal if I am the one who saved you. Isn't it?"

"Marry me". Sasuke said without showing his emotion. This time Sakura's tears were already falling from her cheeks. She cannot handle it anymore!

"Are you crazy! You already read my diary and it is written there that I am getting married soon! Do you think that for almost 6 years while you are still gone, it is impossible for me to love again! Answer me!" Sakura demanded but her tone was not showing any anger.

"I love you". This time Sasuke was already showing his true emotion. He was concern and 'sincere'.

"Don't say it. Prove it". After saying these words, Sakura left.

"Sasuke, are you coming with us? We are now going in the wedding". Naruto asked.

"Just go! I'm not in the mood to talk". Sasuke replied.

"Ok". Naruto answered. After the encounter between Sasuke and Sakura, he was not able to talk to her again. He went in the hospital but her workers said that she was on her day off. He went in her house, but her parents told her that she was with her fiancé. He tried his best to talk to her but nothing happens. "Don't say it. Prove it".

"Ahh! Why are these words always haunting me! I don't care now if she doesn't like me anymore! Ahh! But I love her. What will I do now! ………This bastard love is ruining my life! … I have an idea…the diary!" Sasuke realized.

"Sakura, darling. We're sorry if we need to do this to you. We know that you are not in love with your fiancé." Sakura's mother said while wiping her tears.

"Mom, it's ok. I know that it is the only way to pay our debts. We don't have any choice, if I will not marry this man, we will be imprisoned. We don't have enough money to pay all our credits. Don't worry; I can take care of myself". Sakura said to her mother wearing a fake smile just to hide her tears. The bridal car was now heading in the church, where the loneliest ceremony in Sakura's life will happen.

The ceremony was already started. There was Tsunade; Kakashi; Naruto with Hinata; Ten-Ten together with her husband, Neji; Lee who was crying; Shikamaru, Shino, Kiba who were the wedding planners with their head Ino; Choji, their chef; Temari, Gaara, and Kankorou who were assigned in the souvenirs. All of Sakura's friends were almost there except for Sasuke.

"Nobu, do you accept Sakura to …." The priest's words were cut off by the fattest, obnoxious groom, Sakura was marrying.

"I do. I do. Now keep moving! I'm bored." He demanded.

"Ehem! Sakura, do you accept Nobu to be your loving husband no matter what he is that rude? Huh?" The priest continues.

"What did you said!" Nobu shouted.

"Oh! I'm sorry… well… Sakura, do you accept Nobu to be your husband in encountering your problems in life in the future?"

"I… I… (sniff) I (sniff)." She cannot answer the priest because she was already crying.

"Faster!" Nobu demanded.

"She doesn't need to answer that question anymore."

"Sasuke! What do you think you're doing?" Sakura shouted.

"You don't need to marry that man anymore." Sasuke informed.

"I have to." Sakura replied.

"No need! Have you forgotten that I read your diary? I know that it is just an arranged marriage. I will be the one to pay all your debts. Nobu just wanted the money so I will pay him. " Sasuke said then he smirks.

"Sasuke!" This time, Sakura ran towards him. She is still crying but her tears do not suggest pain anymore but joy. "I love you. I really do!" She informed. Nobu exited the scene in disgrace.

"Is that enough to prove you that I really love you?" Sasuke asked. Sakura kissed Sasuke to inform him that her answer is yes!
