To Heal The Wounded Heart - Love Story of Sasuke Uchiha [#Wattys2018]

Chapter 15 Part 2: Miracles Do Happens

  To some extent, Satsuki thought it was a good idea to just give up on the life, because of one main reason, being treated like she wasn't allowed to stay in the society at all, because she murdered the person, a statue of technology, whom she happened to love too. She thought enough was enough, every shitty thing needed to be stopped right then!

  All those good memories was flowing through her head, all those memories which was created with TenTen, Naruto, Hinata, Neji, Shikamaru, Temari everything had been going through her head, especially all those memories which were related with that raven male, all those happy memories that she created together with him, they also didn't stop flowing through her head. 

  And for the first time, from the time he went to coma, her eyes teared up, a teardrop also didn't stop from making its way. 

  She never chose this way from the very beginning, even though she had gone through hardships in her life. It wasn't like committing suicide never crossed her mind for once, but she pushed that thought aside because she knew committing suicide was just a temporary solution of a permanent problem. But that day, she was so much pushed to the corner that, she didn't see any other way than to do that. 

  And she hated that. Too much hated herself for not able to find any other way. 

  All those people who were present at that time in the room tried to stop her but before that blood splattered out. Naruto, Hinata and TenTen were shocked to see that. Their eyes were widen looking at this.

  Satsuki first didn't understand what the hell was going on, since she stabbed her throat and for that she supposed to feel pain yet she didn't, for some unknown reason. But suddenly her eyes became widen and she froze in her spot. A deep velvety voice made her froze like that, which she missed so much during this one month and she was eager to hear the voice just once more before giving up on everything.

  It was none other than Sasuke Uchiha.

  "Satsuki, are you planning on leaving me behind?" Satsuki couldn't able to say anything as she was trying her best not to let those tears out. Her dress continued on wetting from the blood of the wound of her boss' hand which was created by the blue-eyed girl. Nobody cared at that moment that the blood was flowing out from his hand or her dress getting wet. All they cared about the heart-broken girl.

  Sasuke chuckled lightly. "I was gone for only 30 days and you already started to create the mess?" Sasuke stated ever-so-softly to the girl like a father was scolding his daughter, and that made the wall to break which she started to create to hold the emotion inside.

  Within a blink, Sasuke let go of her neck and the Narukami girl faced towards him, embraced him tightly and cried her heart out. Despite of being tired of all those wounds on his body, he yet never stopped from giving comfort to the girl. After all he cared nothing except the girl who was in his arms.

  After half an hour or so had been passed, she broke the embrace, cleared her eyes, saying, "I'm s-sorry for the wound S-Sasuke."

  "Nah, it's nothing. I will take care of it." But the girl never listened to him. "Please go and seat over there, I will bring the first-aid box", said she while she tied up her handkerchief to stop the bleeding.

  Upon leaving the room to bring the first aid box, there stayed a pin-drop silence for a few seconds. Naruto then stormed out of the room in order to reduce the guilty feeling that he held inside his heart. Hinata quickly tried to called his name but stopped by TenTen.

  "Let her go Hinata, he needs the damn time to fix that idiot brain of his to start working. After all it was his fault to force her to do suicide." TenTen stated, in fact she was glaring at the floor with her jaw clenched hard, so hard that it might break.

  "I'm s-sorry."

  "You don't have to say sorry you know. It wasn't your fault at all." TenTen looked sharp at the girl. "It wasn't you who placed the whole goddamn blame upon her from the time sir went to coma." Hinata, at the lose of her word looked at the ground.

  TenTen looked towards the window and sighed. "Even after her heart was shattered into pieces watching him in that state, she gave all she had in this company. Did every goddamn job she was asked to do, never let ANY single employee to worry about their boss, or let them to think for a single damn time about how the company would run without the boss, nothing! Instead what he gave to her, was a blame of a crime which she never had done in her damn life!" She looked at Hinata again, "tell me, is this how a friend should react? If this is how a friend should react, then I don't want a single goddamn friend at all! Devil curse me, but I don't want anyone with that concept to be my friend!" Both Hinata and Sasuke listened to her, but they never able to utter a single word after that. 

  At that time the memory had started to flow in, the memory about the encounter with one of his employee named Sam. 'Nothing is stable from the day you disappeared sir. I mean not about the business, for your secretary Satsuki ma'am is taking care of it too well, but if I say emotionally, then it is true. She has become much more skinnier day by day, as she was only drinking alcohol, not a single bit of food had been tasted. Whenever we went to ask what had happened with you, she just shut us up." He couldn't help but to think how much torture she was doing on herself. 

  The blue-eyed girl quietly entered into the room, her pale ghost feature quickly caught the attention of the other people who were present at that time. Satsuki also noticed the absence of the blonde dude, yet she didn't wish to speak of him. Rather she made her way to her boss, kneel down in front of him, took his hand slowly like her life was depend upon it and started to nurse it. Sasuke flinched upon contacting the alcohol to his wound, but he didn't let the girl know about it.

  Even after nursing the wound, she stared at it. It wasn't like she feeling guilty for it - she was, but she was thinking about what would've happened if her boss, the person she loved the most wouldn't come in time to save her. If he didn't, she would've died without seeing his face, without hearing his voice which she craved to hear once more.

  And that thought alone scared her the most. 

  She didn't understand when several teardrops came out from her eyes like a cascade flowing down from the hill, or when he took his hand out from her grasp - but a little feel of touch suddenly brought her back to life, she felt his thumb stroked her cheek softly. She slowly look up and saw her boss was looking at her with a soft smile playing on his lips. "You took enough care of me, from the time you started to break the wall holding all my emotion inside," said he, within this the Narukami girl stood up slowly, as well as the Uchiha, "now let me return the favor." 

  Her eyes started to tear up again. She closed her eyes while tears are streaming down from both of her eyes, "I-I am s-sorry, I-" but Sasuke didn't let her finish at all. He hugged her and stroke her back tenderly, saying, "sshhh, don't say anything anymore Satsuki. It wasn't your fault to begin with, so don't say sorry." She sobbed into his arms quickly, holding him tightly like her life depended upon it. He was after all glad that he came back to life just in time to save the girl who stole a big amount of place in his heart. He could never be glad more than this.

  Not to mention, the other members who were present there, this incident never stopped drawing the tears out from their eyes. During the time of embrace they quietly left the place to give them time. They were also never be glad more than this, knowing that the heartbroken girl found her healer at last. 

  From that day on, they started to believe, Miracles do happen!
