Chapter-3
A mother's worries
A man dressed in a business suit sat on a large and elegant oak study table with a book in his hands and specs on his nose. Fagaku Uchiha – the owner of the Uchiha corporation, one of the biggest companies in world trade. A proud man. But there was no denying that he loved his family with all his heart.
There was a soft knock at the door and a beautiful lady with black hair and onyx eyes entered.
"Mikoto, how was your day?" The man asked with a genuine smile on his face. Many people actually wondered that if the proud Uchiha patriarch was even capable of smiling like that.
"Nice Fagaku, how was yours?"
"Same as always."
Mikoto shook her head at the monotony of her husband's life. The Uchiha matriarch was bright cheerful and comforting woman who always gave solace to her workaholic husband and eldest son.
They talked about this and that, actually Mikoto talking and him listening but were interrupted by a knock at the door which was followed by the arrival of their youngest son – Sasuke. He gave one of his rare smile to his mother and a nod of acknowledgement for his father which both of them respectively returned.
" I have a date with Sakura and then I'll be heading to the dobe's house." He said.
" Oh! Ok! But Naruto too has a date today, hasn't he? Kushina told me he's dating Hinata Hyuga." Mikoto said wondering.
"Hinata Hyuga...that name sounds familiar. Isn't she Hiashi hyuga's eldest child? Heiress to Hyuga corporation?" Fagaku asked thinking.
"She is. And yes, dobe is going on a date with her, actually we all are going together." He replied.
" A double date?" Mikoto asked.
Sasuke nodded and headed towards the door and said over his shoulder. "I'll be staying at dobe's home tonight. So don't worry mom. See you later." He said closing the door.
Fagaku sighed. "There was a time when I wondered that if she was even capable of speaking...I wonder how will she even control that hyperactive blonde..."
"I know, Naruto can be actually a handful...even Kushina was..."
"She still is... I could never figure out how Minato deals with them."
Mikoto giggled at her husband's remarks. But she knows despite it he cares about Naruto and respects Kushina. She closed her eyes for some moments and sighed.
"What are you thinking?"
"Nothing. Just glad that Sasuke has someone with him like Sakura. They are just so perfect together...like they are meant to be."
"There was a time when I didn't thought that girl would actually become a part of this family... I thought Sasuke didn't care about her...but she actually took a place here. And she fits..."
"I know. She not only won your son but you too... You care about her...don't you?"
After a bit of silence he replied "I guess I do."
She smiled to herself at her husband's confession. And her eyes went on to the small framed photo sitting on the top of her husband's office table. She frowned.
" Now what happened?"
"Itachi."
" Not again... You're not thinking about it?"
" I can't help it! He must be so alone...he has no one there except for Shisui maybe."
"Listen Mikoto. I understand your concern but Itachi is a grown man now...he will get himself a girl if he wishes. There is nothing to worry about, you know."
Mikoto knew she was being silly...but she is a mother. It's her right to get worried. She knew her first born better than her husband. Itachi always looked calm and composed but she knew that Itachi is extremely sensitive and of course...extremely picky. He never had a girlfriend uptil now! How hilarious is that! But she always knew that Itachi hated shallow beauty...he really believed in the beauty of heart. But the way his life is...he will never find her.
But suddenly her mind produced an extremely interesting thought. If he can't...then can't she?
YES!
She will!
She will get her boy a woman...no ordinary but the one that Itachi would want.
And she smirked to herself. Hunt for itachi's bride...would start now!
A woman with ebony locks and green eyes sat near the window of her room. It was strange, she was beautiful but the devastating realities of life destroyed her. Her eyes were lifeless...like she was being forced to live. Suddenly she clamped her hand over her mouth and ran to nearest sink to cough out blood.
She cleansed her mouth of her own blood and stared at her own reflection. She was being forced to live, yes she was...by herself. She lived only for her sake.
For the sake of her life...her precious child...her daughter. But she was very well aware of the fact that she wouldn't last long.
Her face twisted in pain and she wondered how had this actually happened? It felt just like yesterday, that everything was beautiful...all three of them together. And then...it all shattered. It made her extremely angry. How can fate be so cruel to them? What did they do to deserve this?
But she knew that she didn't have time to complain about the unfairness of life. She had other things to worry about...
Like her daughter...
Izumi
Several questions floated in her mind. What would Izumi do after she is dead. What would happen to her? With whom will she live with? Who would look after her? Will she stay like this even after her death too?
Izumi needed a strong man to support her. To understand her. To believe her. To care for her. To protect her. But she never knew of a man in Izumi's life. She knew Izumi won't think of this. They already had this conversation once before too.
"Mom, I know you're worried about me...but I can't leave for a man whom I met just now. It's unacceptable for me to leave my mother – one of the first person I've ever loved...the person who gave my unconditional love, support and care for a guy I came to know now. You worth much more to me than that, you know." was her reply.
Her eyes fell to a small famed family photo kept. Her precious baby girl completely safe and happy in the comfortable arms of her father.
But she can't give up!
She has to secure her daughter's future at every cost even if it means forcing some decisions on her. She has to. Izumi left her with no other option. Now she will have to find a suitable man for her child.
Suddenly a sharp jolt of pain shot up her body. And she calmly collected herself and sat on her bed. Her body aching due to her efforts.
Doctor had told her that she should not worry. It's bad for health, but it can't happen.
She can't help it. Doctor didn't knew that she is unable to to comprehend.
She is a mother...
And a mother worries...
No matter what...
