CHERRY BLOSSOM

*25*

Days passed. Tina was doing well with the patients. She introduced Sara to Tine and his best friend Sarawat. Amazingly Sara and Sarawat clicked pretty quickly. Tina was actually the doctor of Tine, and Tine was surprisingly co operating with Tina. His father was shocked to see Tine trying to stand up. Sarawat was also coming to check on his condition. Tina felt some sparks between the boys. It reminds her of Sara. 

Two months passes pretty quickly. Tina gave her full effort to make Tine stand on his feet. Tina have to go back to Thailand, her job is done and the person for whom she was the substitute was back. 

She was standing at the airport. Tine and Sarawat were also there with her, they will miss her. Tina will surely miss the two boys. Tine went to buy something, Tina looked at Sarawat who was looking at Tine's retreating figure.

She smiled and bend down.

"Wat" She softly nudged him. Sarawat turned to her and smiled "yes phi", Tina said " You like Tine don't you?"

Sarawat blushed. Tina giggled "Wat... I don't know whether you'll able to come out to Tine now.. As you're too young for this world.. But old enough to understand your feelings right?"

Sarawat nodded. Tina patted his head "Remember one thing.. Love is too good to be fake.. It's a beautiful feeling if it's with a right person.. If you are happy with Tine then follow your heart.." She advised.

Sarawat smiled and nodded happily. Tine came back "Phi.. Here for you"

He handed her a white rose bouquet. She gasped "F-For me?" Tine nodded "Thank you phi Tina for helping me.. I thought my legs will not be useful anymore. I was hopeless, many doctors tried but their methods and harsh behavior made me feel more congested and irritated at them. But the way you pulled me up back to my feet, I regained my capability, my confidence to stand up. Dad always used to say that you should stand on your feet to survive this world. Maybe her words have a different meaning, but for me, it's my legs. Now I can stand on my own feet, I don't need to be a burden on my dad, I can do my works on my own now"

Tina teared up. She felt like she achieved something big in her life. The words hit directly to her heart. Her tears automatically welled up in her eyes. She hugged him tightly.

"Welcome my baby.. I'll miss you Tine.. "

"Me too phi.. " His voice was muffled. Tina looked at Sarawat and motioned him to come closer. Sarawat hugged her too. Tina squeezed gently both of them in her arms.

The announcement was made. Tina pulled away, she looked at the boys with admiration.

"Always be together.. Talk to each other if there's any misunderstanding.. Don't bottle up the feeling within yourselves"

They nodded. Tina kissed their foreheads and held her luggage. She glanced at them for last time and walked forward.

Tine burst down crying. Sarawat hugged him. Tina looked back, she smiled looking at the hugging figures, Sarawat looked up.

She nodded. Sarawat nodded back. Tina happily entered the counter for checking.

On the other hand, Sara was running here and there, she was happy as her lover was coming back.

"DEWWWWWW LET'S GOOOO" she screamed while jumping from the stairs coming down stairs in a rush. Dew looked at her with weird face.

"Why are you shouting?"

"AM I?"

"Yes you are"

"OH MY GOD... OMG IS COMING"

"What is coming?"

"OH MY GIRL IS COMING AHHHHH" she danced around. All laughed looking at her cute dance.

"You are not looking cute at all Sara" Dew tsked.

"I DON'T CARE YOU ASS.... OH MY GIRL IS COMING YAYYYYY" She kissed everyone's cheek.

"Ok ok stop now.. Let's go" Tu said. Sara ran outside. All shook their heads at her whipped behavior.

They drove to the airport. It was time for the landing. So they waited outside. All were coming out. Sara's heart was palpitating. She felt nervous all of a sudden. She felt jittery.

But all her nervousness washed away, when she saw her. The love of her life. The angel. The beauty. The glorious doctor. Tina. Tina walked out, eyes searching for the familiar person.

Sara was shaking. Dew noticed it. He frowned.

"Sara.. Go to her.. "

Sara shakily breathe out and nodded. She felt something will happen it's bad or good she don't know but she had this feeling. She walked slowly in forward direction. Tina's eyes locked with the person whom she was finding. They walked towards each other until they are two feets apart.

Both were breathing heavily. The physical magnetism was a great feeling. It was something different touch. The physical presence of each other, the eye lock, the closeness. Everything just shouts one thing. LOVE.

Tina's grip loosened on the handle of the luggage. Sara opened her mouth to speak up, but Tina shook her head.

"Don't.. "

Sara frowned. Tina smiled softly. She looked at the flower bouquet in her hand, she looked up to Sara who had teary doe eyes. The eyes which haunted Tina for 2 months, the eyes which made her realise her every mistakes, the eyes which gets locked everytime and she sees the ocean of love for her in them, they eyes which hypnotises her, she wants to explore the whole pink world through those two beautiful eyes of Sara.

Tina stepped her left foot at front and knelt on her right knee. She held the bouquet out in the air, flashing towards Sara. Sara's eyes widened, mouth parted slightly. Everyone's eyes stopped at them.

"2 months are enough for me to understand what is love. I helped Tine to walk on his feet, but I also helped Sarawat to sense his feeling towards Tine.. But you know what's my realization? That I love you.. I understood the person. I understood what did you mean by that sentence that Love is too pure to be fake. True. Every words you said all are true. You are perfect for me with all your perfect imperfections. I Love You more than my life. Will you marry me?"

All awed and cooed at them. Sara was shaking. So this was the jittery feeling inside her. This was the feeling inside her that was making her nervous. Her tears spilled down. She closed her eyes tightly, she wants to control herself in front of so many people, she wants to scream, she wants to scold Tina for being so good. She wants to scream how much she love Tina.

Tina slightly frowned "Is it too early to ask you that Sara?" She felt a bit insecure. Sara fell on her knees. She sobbed, she cupped Tina's face and said

"I surrender myself to you... Yes I'll marry you... Yes it's early but I don't care anymore... I want you... I want you as mine... Mine completely... My wife"

Tina kissed her. Both smiled in the passionate soft kiss. All clapped.
They pulled away and laughed. Dew and Tu were happy, Tu was crying in happiness.

The people started minding their business after witnessing the lovely proposal scene. Sara and Tina stood up, they held each other's hands, looking at each other's eyes. This time, they were close, hot breaths fanning their lips, nose touched.

And they said

"Let's get married"
