My Love, My Life - 16
*Sakura's Bedroom*
Sakura's POV
I lay myself down on my very own bed. I look at the ceiling. I sit up and look around me. My bedroom is next to Shaoran's. This room is … rather big to sleep alone. If I add my bedroom and living room, plus kitchen, then it'd be as big as this room. Pink bed sheet and bed covers. The pillow, these are for me.
Actually I lied to Shaoran. I feel sorry now. But I don't know how to begin with. I curse myself why I didn't tell him everything. I sigh. Yes, I didn't tell him about…
*knock knock*
"Who is it?" I jump down from my bed and wear my bear slippers.
"Umm… this is me…" Shaoran… I open the door and let him come in. He hugs me out of sudden. I can feel he's smiling. He pulls away, those eyes look straight to me. "May I help you, Sir?" he giggles.
"Not much… you can help me by hugging me back… how's that sound?" So, I'm hugging him back. "Is this okay, Sir?" He strokes my back gently. "Yes… of course… You always make me feel happy…" I pull away, and I offer him to sit beside me on my bed. "Here… please sit…"
He puts his arms around my waist. On the other hand, I should tell him, the whole chit chat with his Mother immediately. "Umm… Shaoran… I… Uh… I don't know how to begin…"
"What's wrong, Princess?" I look up to him. "Sorry I didn't tell every single thing this afternoon to you…" I look down and play my own fingers. I'm not good with words. Especially when I'm feeling sorry like this.
"I'm sorry if I was forcing you to tell every thing… I'm sorry… so, what else you haven't told me yet?"
"About a girl named, Tiá n Mei. Please don't get mad to your Mother. She's telling me to be careful. Promise me you never angry to Mrs. Li?"
Shaoran shifts himself to face Sakura. "I… promise… it's just that I don't get it why she had to tell you about her. Well, I think I just let you know the truth." Shaoran looks down, he holds my hands and looks into my eyes. "Promise me. You have to believe me. Trust me. Alright, Sakura?" I nod.
"Tiá n Mei, she's my ex-girlfriend. It was before my engagement with Meiling. She was a good girlfriend at first. As time went by, she started to … how do I put this…? Obsessed with me. She was everywhere around me. She even freaked out when she knew about the engagement. She tried everything to cancel it. So, then I agreed with the engagement, that's when I broke up with her." he trails off, I listen to every word he said. I trust him.
"It was only because I only wanted to get rid of her. I don't have a clue where she heard about the engagement has been cancelled. So she came back to my life. Again. I was so sick of her. She tried everything to get rid of every girls I've dated with. Though you know my Mother, she likes to test if my girlfriend would stand strong… or not… but apart from my mom's plans. She's getting ridiculous. She even wanted to hit my ex." I'm shocked to hear that. I'm speechless.
"But this time I promise myself that I'll protect you no matter what happen! Even I have to risk everything. I promise Sakura. I would not let her hurt you. Anymore." He kissed my hands softly. I smile to him and hug him tight. "Of course, Shaoran. I trust you. Really."
*Later that evening*
Author's POV
Shaoran knocks Sakura's door and the door swings open. There she is with her pale pink baby-doll dress, it must be Tomoyo who made it for her. "S-Sakura, umm… it's time for dinner, let's go."
"Ah, I'll be downstairs in a minute. You can go first, is that okay? Shaoran?" she smiles.
"Oh okay. No worries, I'll be waiting downstairs. Are you sure you're okay?" He places his hands on Sakura's cheeks. She nods. "Yes, don't worry."
So Shaoran makes his way to downstairs. Sakura closes the door behind her. Prepare something for Shaoran, she will give to him later on. So she's happily put it inside a pale green box and put it back inside her drawer.
Then she's ready for her dinner. She steps the stairs slowly. Nervous, what does it feel when you all have family dinner together. She hasn't had it for so long. She makes her way to dining room just opposite the stairs. Suddenly when she's about to reach the door…
"AAAHH… SHAORAAAAANN… HEEELLPPP!" she's screaming on top of her lungs.
*Dining Room*
"Wei, it's been a while, right?" Wei gives a hug to Shaoran and Eriol. "Yes, finally I could come back to this wonderful family again. I'm ready to serve you all with Mr. Hiro. And oh Shaoran, I'll bring you little friend, Lupacchiotto…" Everybody but Mrs. Li, looks at Shaoran, curious who is his little friend. Before he can answer them, out of the blue all they hear is…
"AAAHH… SHAORAAAAANN… HEEELLPPP!"
Everybody inside the dining room are shocked and looking for where the voice was coming from.
"Sakura?" Shaoran turns his head to the entrance and see someone drags his beloved Sakura elsewhere. "Eriol, come on!"
"Right! You girls stay behind, alright?" They both run as fast as they can to where that someone brings Sakura.
"Mr. Hiro, and Wei… tell everybody to close every single door in this mansion. Not one can escape!" they both bow to Mrs. Li. "Another one… Maybe it's her…"
"Her?" Tomoyo and Meiling ask in unison. "Oh… HER! Tiá n Mei, she's just a weirdo. Don't you know that Tomoyo-san? I've been face to face with her. Long time ago." Tomoyo looks at Meiling in confusion. "Who is she? Oh by the way, you can call me, Tomoyo-chan…"
Meiling leans her back on dining chair and sighing. "She was Shaoran's ex girlfriend. He met her before our engagement. She freaked out about the engagement. The last news I heard about her was, she wanted to hit Shaoran's ex too! She's out of her mind. Really!"
Tomoyo clasps her both hand, can't believe what she just heard. "So, the unpleasant incident just now was… her doing?!" Meiling nods. "I believe so… apart from that, I can't wait to see Sakura! She must be a great friend, right Tomoyo-chan?" They both smile to each other.
"I've warned Sakura before. I've never seen this coming. That girl." Mrs. Li sighs. "Mr. Hiro, Wei. The girl must be around this house. Please spread everybody in the house. Take her to me. To us." They bow. "Yes, Mrs. Li"
"I can't believe she is still doing this to Shaoran. Tonight, we all gonna end this. She has to be captured tonight, no matter how." she takes a sip of her red wine, leans to her chair.
*Outside*
"I believe Sakura has been dragged to this way. Oh! This is her necklace I gave to her…" Shaoran picks up Sakura's necklace from the green grass.
"Well, I just heard some voices. That way, Shaoran! Let's go!" both of them run to the source of the noisy voices over the big trees.
They both quietly observe the place, make sure there are no people following them, or knock them down from any ways. They whisper to each other, make sure those people don't hear them.
"It's positive, Tiá n Mei right? I can see her figure from here, Shaoran." Shaoran nods and his eyes are looking for Sakura. His vision is blocked by the man in front of the tree. Just when the man move to Tiá n Meis side, he sees Sakura has been tied up to the tree. He is about to attack, but Eriol grasps his hand, Eriol shakes his head to say 'Not the time yet'…
So they wait til someone tap both of them from the back, they startled. But they feel relieved it's Mr. Hiro and Wei. "Sir, we asked our people to surround them already. Just in case, we as well call police." The younger men nod.
That's when Tiá n Mei looks at their direction, smirk evilly.
"Shaoran, it's been a long time. Yes?"
The four of them walk toward Tiá n Mei. Searching for the answer, how she knew they were there. But they don't care. Not the right time to argue such un-important case. They are not afraid, little did she know that she's been surrounding. She keeps talking nonsense.
"Tiá n Mei, what do you want? Let Sakura go!" Shaoran can't go any further. The man gets near Sakura, and rips Sakura's sleeves. "Ummpppffhh…" She shakes her head.
"Well… Shaoran… whether you know… or rather not…" She walks closer to Shaoran, he steps back. Look at her, disgusted.
"I'll let her go with one condition…" she's getting closer to Shaoran, circling her index finger to his chest and wink at him. "I want YOU…"
