Chapter 3
Megumi
Seeing the Sakura fall makes me realize how long to return here. This flower reminds me of the happy days of my life as part of SA. It has been ages since I was here and yet everything is still fresh in my memories.
"Meg! Come on!" Jun tapped me on my shoulder. "Mom is waiting for us."
I smiled. "Sure. I'll just stay here for a while. I miss this place so much. I just want to stroll around."
Jun simply nodded. He held Sakura's hands and walked to our house. I am really happy for them. They have been together for so long that's why I was not surprised at all when Jun asked for her hand in marriage. I know they love each other so much. I see that in their eyes. The passion they have for each other. I know that because once in my life I felt the same way to another person.
At times like this, I can't help but envy my friends. They are all happy because of love. When was the last time I felt that? 10 years. I had few relationships but none of them was real.
I tried to find someone but I guess my heart was still broken. There was even a time when Sakura talked to me about Yahiro.
"Meg, you know how much I love you. You are like a sister to me."
I weakly smiled as tears continue falling from my eyes, "I know that what I did was wrong but I can't help it. When I saw him, I just lost it. I wanted to give a dose of his own medicine that's why I said all those things on the party."
Sakura brushed my back, "I understand. But were you happy after that?"
I shook my head. I thought revenge was the only thing that will satisfy me but I was wrong. It was even more painful because I realized that I still love him.
I shivered as the breeze touched my bare shoulders. I guess it was not a good idea to take off my coat before I got out of the car. But the wind did not stop me from going to the place I longed to see.
The fountain.
It was still the same however the water was filled with Sakura. I beamed as I stepped towards it. Every step I make, memories started rushing back. The old days.
I leaned as I touched the water. It is unusually warm which surprised me. I took one small Sakura before I sat on the edge.
I have no idea. Am I happy or am I sad? Being here in this place makes me feel pain but for some odd reason I do not even want to set one foot back to USA. My entire body seemed to be frozen.
My eyes started to swell when I heard a voice.
"Oneechan is crying? Are you hurt?"
I glanced to where that little voice came from. She was an adorable kid wearing a red dress with strawberry details. Her hair was long and wavy just like what I used to have.
"No honey," I smiled as I immediately wiped my tears.
The kid smiled back then walked towards me. "You are so beautiful just like my mom. By the way, my name is Lheanne Sapphire but my dad calls me Lindsay."
"Lindsay, that's a very cute name." I replied. "Did your mom choose you this dress? You look absolutely cute. We are even in the same color." I held the hem of my red dress.
"No. It's my dad. My mom died when I was a baby"
I felt a sharp pin pricked my heart. "I'm so sorry."
"It's okay," she warmly beamed. "I know that she's in heaven. Besides my dad is the best dad ever!" she jumped.
I kneeled down to face her eye to eye. "I am sure your dad is very glad because of you. Hey wanna come with me? I'll show you something."
She giggled and held my hands "Sure!"
Good thing I decided to chance my heels to flats, Lindsay and I started running towards the other place I haven't seen for a while. Her hands were so tiny yet so warm making me feel so different.
The moment we arrived at the playhouse, Lindsay went totally shocked. I notice that they painted it to fresh minted green. Back then it was canary yellow but the green makes it more refreshing and fun.
"So do you like it?"
"This is so cool. You know I have like this at home but way smaller than this. It's a dollhouse yet mine is in yellow," she said as we walked towards the door.
"Really?" That's weird.
I was going to get the spare key hidden under one of the pots on the porch when I noticed that the door was open. I guess one of our helpers forgot to lock the door when she cleaned it. Lindsay was so excited that she rushed first. To my surprise she went out again and held my hand.
"Hey why did you go back?" I gleamed as I opened the door. "Come on. Let's play inside. I'll show you my room here."
As I opened the door, a familiar figure was standing in front of me. The years did not age him. He even looked better than the last time I saw him. But those eyes. The eyes that haunted me for years remained the same.
"Megumiā¦" His husky voice made me shivered even more than the wind outside.
I wanted to say something but my mind went completely blank. I knew that this moment will happen. I have prepared myself for this but seeing and hearing him froze my entire body.
"Oneechan I would like to introduce you to my dad."
