                                                          Acceptance
Sakura finally got a job it was hard at first but she coped. She worked at three places a waiter at a restaurant nearby as a cleaner and also at a bakery. She gathered the money she made in a box and took it with her everywhere she went 2 months passed and Sakura made 20,000 it wasn't still enough. She barely got enough sleep. She was just working. She was sad that she couldn't ever achieve her dreams of being a doctor but that didn't bring her down she needed to help her family.
                  On a Saturday night Sakura walked home and at her she saw expensive black cars parked and bodyguards standing. She knew it was that powerful man who came for his money. She recognized one of the cars and realized "it couldn't be..." she said wishing it wasn't. Without a single thought more Sakura run into the house and saw two men holding her father as he was beaten up and the bodyguards try to hold her she escaped their grips and run to her father blocking the punch. "Stop! Please don't hurt my father anymore!" Sakura's heart was beating really fast. She couldn't bare to see her parents hurt. She just wished things would change. "Don't you dare hurt my Father! I'll pay it Little by little till it's finished. So please stop" Sakura's feelings were all over the place but she couldn't quite see the man. "Move aside." A familiar voice commanded the bodyguard. Sakura eyes widened in shock "it was him" He sat there drinking whiskey with ice in it. He smiled. "Sakura Haruno we meet again" He said to her feeling rather happy. How the hell did he know who she was she thought to herself but right now it didn't matter. "I hear your plea... but I can't accept it" he said to her moving from happily to coldly. "You have to! You can't do this! I..I I'll call the police!" She replied angrily . He simply laughed and told her something that made her lose hope In saving her father. "Go ahead I have the whole police department around my finger. So an attempt will be stupid. If you want call them. I'll give you my phone or should I tell them myself. You're wasting my time. Just let me send your father to prison and take your home.There's nothing you can do. You'll always remain weak. Look around there's nothing you can do even your mother left so now you're going to be all alone." Sakura grew silent as his words broke her completely. She could feel cold tears fall or run down her cheek. "Please.. I beg you don't do this. I agree I'm weak. Is that you want to hear? Yes I am. You can do anything you want to me but please spare my father and my home." He looked at her "Why do want to do this for him. He's the whole reason you're in this mess" He asked. "Because I love my father." She said to him loudly. "Love?... so this is it. You'd be willing to take his pain?". He asked rather sad and confused. "Yes.." Sakura answered. He looked at her again "... How does it feel?" He asked again. Why was he asking these questions Sakura asked herself "has no one ever shown him love and affection? Or has he not felt that way for anyone?" She thought to herself. " Don't answer... I don't need to know... I change my mind there's something you can do to save your Father and your home." He looked her dead in the eyes and said " Marry me". Sakura was shocked. "What's your answer. Actually I don't like being refused." He smiles. Sakura had no choice she knew a man like him is capable of doing so many things when he doesn't get what he wants. But why marriage? "I don't have a choice do I?" She looked at him "Fine I agree. Yes I'll marry you!" She didn't even know his name. "Good. Hey Mr. Haruno I'm gonna be your son. Consider yourself a very lucky man." He smiled at Sakura then he got up and He and bodyguards walked out " Sakura expect me tomorrow. Two of the bodyguards will stay here. In case you wanna run away or just to keep tabs on you... If you need money for your dad's treatment ask them. They'll also call the doctor. So don't worry." . He and his bodyguards walked out and they drove away. Sakura took a deep breath thinking about what she just did. She looked at the men. " please help me with my father". They helped her carry her dad to the room and then they called the doctor to come treat her father. Sakura went into her room and looked at herself in the mirror. "Is this really happening?"
