Wedding Dress Trauma : Lady Uchiha (sequel)
Chapter Seventeen : Sweet Sweet Memories
Uchiha Residence…
Twinkle twinkle little star…
Resting her head against her husband, Sakura gazed into the velvety dark sky decorated with the night's diamond. Cuddling together on the couch at the veranda, Sasuke wanted to spend some quality time with the pink haired female.
He want to forge as many sweet memories for Sakura whenever he recalls that the time they could share together will be limited.
Thinking about it, makes the Uchiha shoulder the utter guilt and cornering him into tears which he kept away.
Tomorrow is the day.
Sakura will be receiving her medical report tomorrow morning to which Sasuke had already knew through Sai the other day at the esplanade. He uttered nothing and decided to keep silent about it until tomorrow.
For tonight, he just wanted to share his time with her like they used to.
"Oh, Sasuke look," Sakura pointed above and he gazed towards her directional finger. "It's a shooting star! Quickly, make a wish!" closing her eyes, she made wishing gestures.
Sasuke could not help but to stare at her childish act, her innocence and the radiant purity of her heart.
'Why…Why must she be taken away when I could finally be able to love her?' Sasuke frowned to himself.
He heard her sigh with a satisfactory smile afterwards.
"Hm? Sasuke, why are you crying?" she questioned.
"N-No I wasn't. Something got into my eye that's all…" he lied, smudging them away. "What did you wish for?" he asked subsequently.
"Umm…I am not going to tell you," she spoke cheekily but she was kind enough to give him an option.
"Unless…"
"Unless what?" he raised a brow.
"Unless you tell me the reason why you chose me out of all girls? I am not smart neither I am too pretty."
Sasuke sighed at her, she would not give up about that issue she questioned him once and he told her not to.
He hesitated but since that there might be no chance of telling her in the future…if that happens…
"Alright."
Sakura was all eyes on him and her ears were twitched into paying her full attention.
Why was she so eager to know?
"Remember you told me about your years in high school," he initiated.
"Yeah…"
"And there's this transfer student who was all nerdy and had SIZE and he sat at the very end of class," he rephrased the term fat to her liking.
"Yeah…" her brows were making all sorts of twitches trying to focus.
"You said that he was so quiet and no one even noticed he was actually there and you were the first to approach him because all the other students didn't like him."
"Yeah…"
Flashback To Many Many Years Before In High School…
"Hey there," Sakura approached the new transfer student who got startled. "You know, you've been silent for a whole week now. Don't you get bored?" she took a chair and sat to face him.
"Umm…I am used to it…" he answered timidly.
"Huh? That's silly! Why don't you blend in?"
"It's not that I don't want to…Boys thinks I am not too cool to be around them and girls thinks I am ugly and…you know, fat…and they usually tease me of that," he spoke disappointedly.
Sakura glanced at his physical outlook as he described himself to be. Indeed, he was wearing glasses which emphasized his round face and he had SIZE just like hers!
"Are you always alone like that?" he nodded.
Sakura giggled to his surprise.
"I'm so much like you. I am not smart, I am not too pretty and I have SIZE! The world doesn't state who you have to be to live, if I were you, I don't give a damn to them. I am proud to be who I am!" she smiled to her fullest.
"I'm Haruno Sakura, well, I'm not too good with introductory lines so…Hey, why not we stick together from now on?" a smile.
The brightest smile that HE could never forget.
End Flashback…
Sakura wore a perplexed expression in front of the raven male, she continued to stare at him after that long playback.
Sasuke stared at her in return, trying to get the slightest expression out of her besides than that confusing look.
"You…don't get it don't you?"
"Er…not really. What were you trying to say Sasuke?" he sighed at her for being completely clueless.
Okay, she is not too smart…
"That guy I was mentioning about was—"
"Oh, you mean he was your friend!" she exclaimed excitedly to her 'correct' answer.
"Argh, no! That guy was actually ME!" Sasuke's face was matching to his favourite tomato colour and he was pouting at her!
Sakura's mouth was wide open like a gasping goldfish out of water before her explosive laughter broke out.
She was laughing to her heart's content while she left Sasuke all blushing.
"Haha. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh so hard. But you were a total different guy right now and then. It's like a total make over!"
"I did it all for you, Sakura."
"Aww, why can't I transform as good looking as you do…" she pouted teasingly.
"You don't have to, I want you to stay just the way you are so that you could make every girl envious when you are around me," Sasuke snuggled closer to her, placing a kiss on her cheek.
She giggled to his ticklish embrace.
"Yes you did and that doesn't explain anything to my question, Mr. Uchiha."
"Sakura, because of those words you spoke to me, gave me the confidence of who I want to be. And I want to be the person that was meant for you," he gave another kiss on her forehead. "That is why I despise people who would judge others by their gruff exteriors."
"So…you're saying that I deserve you?" Sakura voiced in a cheeky manner.
"Yes," he whispered.
"So…if I'd be fat forever, you will still love me?"
Sasuke inched closer once more and their lips were almost touching as he pulled her in for another kiss.
"Sakura, you speak too many nonsense…"
Tomorrow…
The day of the medical report, Sakura had her heart starting to pound as she sat in front of Sai who held it. Sasuke was by her, holding her hand as he gave her a little squeeze. She glanced over to him, he nodded telling her to be brave.
This is it.
"Ready Sakura?" Sai asked.
"Yeah," she uttered in confidence. There is no turning back now.
No matter what happens, there is nothing to be afraid for Sasuke is with her.
Her hands were trembling slightly as Sakura received her medical report. Staring at the thin file a while, she then glanced towards Sasuke for the last time.
"Sasuke," she initiated. "I love you."
"I love you too," Sasuke's voice died into a whisper.
Releasing a sigh, he watched her gather her final courage and flicked open the file. Her eyes traced to the documents before her and so did her expression turned sullen.
Sasuke could feel his heart ache. Her silence was adding more guilt in him. It was all his fault that he had drove her to this.
If he could turn back time, stopped her from her rash actions and be a better husband in protecting her, she might not have…
"Sasuke…" came her dull call, her expression was blunt as she looked away from those documents. "You remember that we have postponed our honeymoon to Hawaii, right?"
He nodded. There goes her final wish. It pains him when she said such.
"I think I don't want to go to Hawaii anymore…" she began. "I want to go to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower."
"Okay…" he nodded.
"I also wanted to see the Christ in Rio de Janeiro. Maybe we can go to China to climb the Great Walls and Rome to visit the Colosseum and the Pyramid and…" she goes on and on.
"Er…Sakura…?"
Sai's abrupt laughter startled the couple as he filled the room with it.
"You can go wherever you want, Sasuke's gonna bring you for sure. You've got plenty of time, right Sakura?" he winked at her.
"Yup!" she giggled happily.
Wait! What's all this…
Sasuke is caught in a perplexed state.
"It's a positive, Sasuke! I am alright!" she showed him her report. It was genuine that it clearly states that it was just a mere ulcer.
He was stunned at the report, so that means Sai has tricked him all along! He glared at the physician for being sly.
But thanks to him, things took a better turn for him and Sakura.
Sasuke could not hold back his laughter, he kissed his giggling wife and all is sweet from now on.
"And maybe we could visit the Grand Canyon too!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"The first thing before all that is to have you to recover and start our family planning," he smirked cunningly. Sakura blushed.
"F-Family planning? Isn't that too soon?"
"Nope. I always wanted a soccer team of my own," Sasuke is off with his ideas. "Imagine, Uchiha Junior Soccer Team. Cool, huh."
A soccer team made up of little Uchihas?
"But the honeymoon…"
"That's why the honeymoon can wait. We need to get down to business as soon as possible, Sakura."
So much for their happy ending.
