✔ Make A Wish [A SasoSaku Fanfiction]

Chapter 34

Sakura's POV

I sat on the edge of my bed, folder in my hands. I kept staring at it. Half of me wants to read it, being intrigued by Pein's message. But my other half, didn't want anything to do with this. And as funny as it sounds, but that part of me wanted to throw this away and move on. Maybe because deep inside, I'm scared. I'm scared of a lot of things.

But most of all, I'm scared of reality.

The reality that hurted me so many times before. A bestfriend that turned her back against me.

But this isn't the time to be afraid, Sakura.

I took in a deep breath, with shaky hands, I opened the folder. Sasori's biodata popped up first. What he said to me.. about who he really is.. it was all true.

"W-Who are you...?"

"My name is Sasori Hiroshiku Akasuna. Age 22, from Kyoto, Japan. My family owns the biggest chain of hotels in the world, the Akasuna Stardust. I studied in England and spent the rest of my life in France. I just came here for a vacation three months ago."

Name: Akasuna, Sasori H.
Age: 22 years old
Birthplace: Kyoto, Japan

"Atleast he told me the truth.. psh." I bitterly thought and kept on reading. I turned the page, but what I saw next literally caught me off guard. My eyes widened, and I can feel my heart skip a beat. These are...

Pictures.

Lots and lots of pictures.. of me..

..of us.

I bit my lower lip and studied the photographs taken not that long ago. Most of them were stolen shots of us. Sasori staring at me while I did something. His loving gaze, all too nostalgic. There was a picture when he watched me as I slept, and there was another one when he gazed at me in class as I took down notes.

I fought the urge to release a tear.

I am so damn tired of crying.

Really, it's a miracle I haven't gone dehydrated from all the tears I've shed since yesterday.

I studied the pictures carefully, one fell on the floor. I picked it up and my heart almost jumped out of it's chest. "W-What the...?"

The picture was dark, but you can still make out a silhouette of a girl sitting in the middle of an open field. She was looking up the sky.

Yes..

This is that night.

"...I don't want to be alone anymore."

The same night I got drunk and headed to the outskirts of the city. The same night I gazed at the nightsky and made a wish. The 8th of November.. the night before Sasori came into my life.

I turned the picture around, and saw handwritings.

The penmanship looked awfully familiar.

8th November..

I saw her at a bar earlier. The girl I've been following since last month. I don't know what's happening to me. Ever since I saw this Sakura Haruno, I've been acting strange lately. So instead of heading to the airport for my marriage meeting in France, I found myself tailing behind her. She sat in this grassy field, drunk. I heard her crying. It somehow pained me. Suddenly, she looked up and made a wish.. she wanted someone to keep her company and ease the pain she's feeling.

By that time, I've already made a decision. I'd rather be this lovely girl's boyfriend, than be a fiance for another.

------Sasori

My hands trembled. So.. that's it.. he's been following me since his vacation here. He's been watching me cry from afar. He left the life he was offered with, only to live a life with me..

And even if he didn't came from heaven, I knew, deep down..

"..my wish came true after all."
