CHERRY BLOSSOM

*8*

Sara became silent. No....she's talking with her family but she's avoiding Tina. Tina was partially feeling relief but partially feeling guilty.

Sara came down to have breakfast. "Morning Mom~" She kissed her mom's cheeks and sat down. Dew came too and greeted everyone. Tina irked a bit. Why didn't Sara greeted her as she usually does. No Hi.. Hello... Nothing. She just shrugged off and continued eating.

"Sara pass me the juice please" Dew said.

"Hm... Ah doctor can you pass the juice?"

Tina just stared at her. No cute doctor no nickname to her. What happened? Sara was acting different. Sara saw the doctor was just looking at her. She sighed and stood up to take it on her own.

"Sara... At least wear something different... Always suited booted" Cindy said.

"Mom... You know na I like this kind of outfit... And lady for your information you love this outfit... Am I right or am I right?"

"Naughty girl... Yeah I like it... But change sometimes... "

"Ok my beautiful hot lady, I'll"

"Shut up... I'm your mom"

"So? You're hot and spicy too isn't it Dew"

"Yeah mom.. "

"You two brats.. Uff"

Three of them laughed. Tina was just waiting for Sara to notice her and talk to her. And she doesn't know why? Like why she wanted her to talk so badly? This is what she wanted isn't it?

Sara and Dew became ready for office. They both kissed their mom's cheeks and went away. Tina felt sad  in someway. She was fiddling with her feelings, why was it ugly? Why she was having bitter feeling? Why she can't ignore Sara like she did during the breakfast time?

Sara sighed sitting on her chair. She was upset. She was feeling tired, because she wasn't eating properly for two months. Her family tried to cheer her up, but she can't come up again to herself. And the cause was Tina. Tina's presence made her so weak, that without talking to her or without annoying her Sara was becoming hopeless. And moreover she promised her dad that she'll bring happiness to Tina's life.

But Tina was really a hard headed one. And a stone heart too if she adds in her mind list. She closed her eyes
"I know Tina you need time. Take all time but at least let me come. Please. Take me in your life, appreciate my hardworks be happy with me try to be happy at least. That one night incident made you so much cold hearted that even your smile isn't with you. What did he do? Why were you so immature to love such a guy who turned the whole world upside down? Why can't you cry on my shoulders to release the pain? Every step I'm approaching to you, that very moment you're blocking the road with your ego, anger, frustration. It hurts Tina... It hurts. It's burning my heart".

"Are you angry on her Sara?"

Sara looked up to the door, Tu was standing. She sat up properly. Tu came in and sat on the sofa.

"Come here" Sara went to the sofa and sat beside her. Tu sighed and said "I know Sara... All the things you said just now is all true. That man... Sorry that asshole used Tina. Tina wasn't into him before, she was hard to get but Mil somehow managed to get into her life and later she regret it. Not only her, every girls who's coming to him. Due to this, Tina hurted her parents too. Tina is an adopted child of a gay couple MewGulf. Tina was such a beautiful girl with bunny smile, her smile makes everyone melt. I melted too, that's why I become her best friend. She was their everytime when I needed her. But after that engagement night, she completely broken apart she wasn't into herself. She hurted herself by locking door and breaking things. Can you please tell what she told you? Dew told me something happened to you... You aren't in yourself. What happened Sara?"

Sara explained their situation. Tu was angry on Tina's behavior. She said
"I'll tell Tina about this Sara"

"No no please.... She's already broken... Please don't tell her she'll feel more down"

"Sara... She said you this things and still you care for her"

"How can I not Tu... She's my first love"

"You... You love her?"

"Yes Tu... I love her.. That's why I was so insane in making her smile and happy... If I was not into her then why will I follow her like a mad girl? I can get any girl or boy here. But still I want her to open up, to let me enter to her life, to let me show what's love. I love her genuinely Tu, I know you'll feel at some point that maybe I'll also leave her someday, believe me if I do that thing then burn me alive I'll happily die. Day and night I care for her that's why I'm maintaining distance from her. I don't want to go and do anything without her consent"

Tu can very well feel the hidden message in those words. Sara's eyes were teary. Tu needs to talk with Tina. She needs to make her understand that only Sara can cure Tina.

"I'll talk to her Sara"

"As you wish... But please see that Tina doesn't get hurt"

Tu nodded. Sara sighed and thought Every prayer is for you Tina. Three magical words makes people emotional, it's true, the magic is true as it's name suggests I may not be the first one to kiss, love, date... But I want to be with you till the last breath.

Tina's door knocked. Tina opened it and gasped

"Tu?"

Tu smiled and came in. "Hey Love"

"Sit.. "

Tu made Tina sit with her. They both looked into each other's orbs.
"What did you say to Sara?"

"What did I say?"

"The things you said... You very well know that Tina"

"So she said you to make me look bad in front of you?"

"Tina. Enough. I'm your best friend. Why? Because you accepted me as your friend. Why is it hard for you to accept Sara? Huh? Why can't you let that thing go from your head... Just why? Do you ever think of yourself.. What you're doing with yourself... Do you ever consider your parents feelings after that night? Do you know how much your mom sheded tears for you? Remember once you said to me after our graduation that you'll make your parents more proud and happy. No tears you'll accept. Then why? Why are you hurting them? And talking about Sara... What she did? I'm here working with Dew for 2 years believe me Tina, the brother and sister they do what they promised. They're still doing it. They never raised voice to anyone, they make their mom happy why? Because they lost their father. And you have them, which you just threw away. Are you really Tina whom I met during high school? Are you really my love Tina? You were never like this rude, cold hearted always smiling. You are making everyone sad Tina with your behaviour, your harsh words... You don't even realise it what are you saying to the opponent party. Stop this rubbish now Tina. How long will you close yourself in that locker which doesn't have any password to open? Sara is enough mature than all of us Tina, the way she behaves that doesn't mean she's dumb. The girl who repeatedly followed your steps to make you smile that same girl is crying. She hid her tears but she let them fall today. Stop Tina, everyone your parents are waiting for the real Tina.. I'm waiting my love... Sara is waiting"

That hit Tina. What she did. Her tear dropped one by one. Her body went limp, Tu held her. She sobbed on her shoulder. She again made a mistake but this time Sara didn't came. Tina didn't allow Sara to come. This time her friend came whom she loved, respect and everything.

She made a whole mess. She made Sara cry, the jolly girl who makes everyone happy. And for her, Sara the happy pill became a silent one and for her the whole family was stressed. She destroyed her own family's happiness, she destroyed this family too. She needs to correct her mistake that is only saying sorry to Sara.

I love Tu over here, she's a genuine best friend of Tina. I hope everything goes well❤.
