CHERRY BLOSSOM

*18*

Cindy cleared her throat to break their eye contact competition.

"Doctor... You have to invite your parents too in this wedding"

Tina nodded.

"And.... Take Sara with you... "

Tina smiled and looked at Sara. Sara gave a thumbs up to her. Tina shook her head

"Don't you wanna change your dress?"

"Huh? Why... I'm looking beautiful... Let's go... "

Sara swayed her hips which was covered by the piggy's butt and tail. All laughed. Tina ran out side trailing behind Sara.

They both sat inside the car. Tina smiled

"You like this dress so much huh?"

"Yup... I'm looking good right?"

"Obviously not"

"Then beautiful?"

"Noh.. "

"Handsome?"

"Nopsie... And mind you miss you're a girl"

"Then sexy?"

"In your dreams"

Tina chuckled. Sara smiled, rolling the steering wheel. Tina smiled and looked at Sara

"Why you tease your mom like that?"

Sara smiled softly.

"Because I want to see that evergreen smile of my mom.. She's absolutely a beauty queen for me... She had an accident earlier those days were too much painful for all of us.. But I promised myself to make my mom smile and laugh with my silliness. So yah... I tease her like that.. "

Tina sadly smiled, she looked outside. There was a silence in the car. Sara stopped the car in front of Tina's house. Sara looked at Tina who was still in her world. Her lips were upside down, she was sad. A long tear rolled down from her right eye. But Sara poked her corner of the lips that tear fell on her finger.

Tina looked at Sara. Sara smiled, she flicked the tear away. She pinched Tina's cheek softly.

"What happened?"

Tina's eyes were becoming glossy.
"You're so good... You're mom is so happy to have you as a perfect child.... And me... I was an orphan... My original parents threw me on the streets as soon as I was born... I hurted my biological parents also... I also hurted my adoptive parents... I didn't listen any thing... I disobeyed them.. I trusted Mil blindly that I couldn't even see the pain I'm giving to my parents.. For me.. For my misery my mom and dad became sad. I sometimes feel like a burden to every single one... "

Tina cried. Sara opened her seat belt and Tina's one too. She embraced her. Tina cried on her neck. She kept on rubbing her head. After sometimes, the cries slowed down. Tina sniffed, she pulled away from the hug, Sara wiped the tears.

"Ok now?"

Tina nodded. Sara caressed Tina's cheeks, joined their foreheads.

"Now it's time to solve all the problems Doctor.. People learn from the mistakes... You know it's not mistake it's called experience.. We all have some experience from our past incidents, what we do, when we do we never know... We can't predict it's outcome also... But to rectify we can give ourselves a chance... We can still support ourselves and step ahead. I know how you're blaming yourself for all these... No doctor don't do that... It's not wholly your fault... And it's not late to say sorry.. Your parents are still waiting for you with open arms... Be a child and cry on their shoulders.. "
