CHERRY BLOSSOM

*7*

Tina couldn't believe what she did. She came out of her daze when Sara whispered "Thanks for dancing with me cute doctor".

Sara went away with a smile. But Tina remained stunned in her place. She danced with Sara in front of everyone. In this situation which was similar to 3 years ago. Her eyes raged, she looked here and there and saw Sara talking to Tu. She went to the drinks section

"Give me a strong drink"

"But ma'am... "

"Do as I said"

The bartender nodded and gave a glass. She gulped down, her lips twitched at the bitter taste. She ordered again and again. Sara was finding Tina.

"Where the hell she went now?" Sara saw a figure in the drinks section she ran toward the figure. She gasped looking at the 11 empty glasses.

"Tina... Oh god... Tina stop no more... Stop I said"

"Umph.... Nouuu.... You stay away from me" Tina pouted.

"Why? And stop it.. Stop drinking Tina... Come with me"

Sara pulled Tina up, she dragged her towards the staircase. But Tina sat on the floor. Sara frowned

"I'll not go hmph"

"But you have to Tina... You're not in your form"

"Carry me"

She made grabby hands. Sara blushed this was the first time she blushed after seeing the girl cutely whining to her to carry her in her arms.

"Ok then"

"Carry me carry me carry meeeee mee meeee~~"

Sara chuckled. "Can I carry you forever?"

"He used to say that"

"Who?"

"Mil"

Sara's became a little sad. Tina hugged her legs. "Carry me", Sara picked up in her arms like a bride

"Woahh... Strong lady"

"Thank you"

Tina leaned her head on Sara's shoulder and smiled which went unnoticed by Sara. Sara climbed upstairs, she went to Tina's room. She laid her gently. Tina opened her doe eyes. Both looked at each other. Tina's eyes welled up

"Why did he leave me? Am I that bad? Why did he give me such a hope? He... He even took my body, then he said that I... I'm not ideal type. N.. No one will love me ever.. Is it true.. Will I never find my happiness again? Tell me... Tell me na please... Will no one love me? Why he used me for six years.. Huh? Why can't I accept others.. Please give me answers please I beg you" Tina sobbed. Sara leaned down to wipe her tears.

"If I say that no one is more beautiful than you in this universe then even this praise is nothing but the truth, I feel lost since I’ve found you,your grace drowned in your playfulness, is showing on your face but you shut that door of moonlight. I can't enter Tina. Open that door, let me come to you please. I want to know, which part of you still resonating the sound of that person who hurted you. Let me in, I'll show you the whole pink world."

Tina's eyes slowly closed, her lashed shutting down at the warm contact on her hairs. Sara pecked her forehead and stood up. She lifted the blanket on Tina's body.

"Sleep well angel.. You thrash around, you scream out, you cry, I'll give you my shoulders, I don't know what our relationship will be at the future but when I promised myself then I'll endure everything but not your sadness"

Tina woke up with a headache the dosage was heavy. She looked outside the window.

Good 15 minutes she spent to recall the last night's events. Her eye's widened. "No no no.... What did I do? It can't be.... No it can't be.... I can't.... Tina Tina Tinaaaaa urghhhhh why did I do the same thing? I need to stay away from Sara... Yes I'll stay away from Sara. She's dangerous for me my life... "

Sara came down happily. She saw her mom and doctor talking.

"Good morning beautiful mom... Good morning cute doctor"

"Morning baby" Cindy greeted back.

"Morning" Tina shortly greeted but not looking at Sara. Sara's right eyebrow twitched, she found something unusual. Usually Tina roll her eyes or just look at her but this time Tina avoided her eyes.

Tina and Cindy did their exercises, Sara was silently watching. She noticed how Tina ignored her presence, as if Sara doesn't exist. Sara thought maybe she's a bit stressed about last night. So she just shrugged off.

But she was wrong. This ignorance continued for two months. No quarrels, no eye contact, only 'hmm' was the only answer Sara received from Tina. That tested Sara's patience. She needs to talk with her. Enough is enough now.

After dinner, Sara went to Tina's room "Doctor can you help me?"

"What help you need?"

"Look at me first"

"For hearing we need ears which I have so say what you need?"

"No first look at me.. You're continuously avoiding me. Why? Did I do something?"

"No"

"Uff thank god... But why do I feel like I really did something?"

"I don't know"

Tina went out of the house to the hidden place. She found it amazing to be honest. Sara followed her, she needs to clarify everything. She held Tina's hand

"Stop. Now say what happened?"

"I told na nothing"

"Yes something definitely happened that's why you're avoiding me"

"I told you already... Now leave me"

"No"

"I said leave me"

"Answer my question first"

Tina got angry, she yanked away Sara's hand and shouted

"WHAT THE HELL YOU WANT HUH? STOP JUST STOP DISTURBING ME. ENOUGH OF YOUR MELLOW DRAMAS. ALL YOU DO IS LAUGH LAUGH AND LAUGH EXCEPT THAT YOU CAN'T SAY OR DO ANYTHING. I'M FED UP WITH YOU. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF HUH.... CLOWN? THEN GO TO A CIRCUS TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW YOU ENTERTAIN THEM. YOU'RE ANNOYING. STOP PESTERING ME. LET ME DO MY WORK AND LET ME GO I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE EVER AGAIN" Tina went away.

Sara looked at the retreating figure with glossy eyes. Her head hung low, suddenly rain started. Sara looked up, her tears as well as the rain drop got mixed up. She still smiled with tears flowing down her eyes
"Dad... I... I failed"
She sat on the hammock, she started crying. Can you believe the person who was jolly from the very begining of the story suddenly started crying. The person who wished to see everyone's smile today that person was crying because she failed to crack a smile on Tina's face. She cried her heart out. The rain was pouring down heavily as if it was also supporting Sara to let the emotions wash away.

Uh oh... Looks like something went terribly wrong ☹️. I'm feeling bad for Sara🙁.
