Win This Game

S A N A

"S-Seven.. eight.."

"Nine.. t-ten."

I carefully untied the handkerchief from my head and when I opened my eyes.. she's no longer there.

"Tzuyu-yah.." I whispered to myself as I totally broke down on a bench.

I had to sit for a moment because my knees were shaking so much, but why does it feel like there's something important missing here?

Shit.

"Her number!" I quickly forced myself to get up after realizing what it was.

I forgot to get her number! I tried earlier, but she wasn't able to give it to me when her Mom was with us.

You're such a fool, Sana! Out of all things, why, why, why?!

While I was running with all my might, I ended up falling down on the ground as the speakers of the airport announced the current flight.

[Attention to all the passengers, Royal Express 1225 to Taipei, Taiwan is now boarding.]

"Tzuyu-yah.." I whispered regretfully to myself. "I-I guess she forgot about it too.."

I was crying so much. I can't believe that she left without giving me her number. How am I supposed to find her now? I'm not yet friends with her on any social media applications beside the one where we met, which is unfortunately, deactivated right now!

Why do we even have to suffer? Why must we get hurt when all that we wanted was to be happy?

"T-This world is too cruel.." I said to myself with an unbearable amount of pain.

After a few moments, a female staff approached me and helped me to get up. She led me to another bench and asked about my problem because I've been crying for a while now. I politely told her to leave because I needed some time for myself.

But right after she left, two more staff members approached me. One of them was holding a bouquet of roses.

"Y-Yes?" I confusedly ask.

"Ms. Minatozaki Sana?" The man with the flowers asked.

"It's me.. w-why?"

"Someone sent you these," he replied while suddenly handing me the bouquet.

"H-Huh?"

"It's from the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chou, one of the major shareholders in this airport," he smiled.

"Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chou? D-Do you mean Chou Tzuyu?"

"Yes, it's from her ma'am. When she bought five long-stemmed roses from us earlier, she also purchased our bouquet-per-week."

"Bouquet-per-week? W-What's that?"

"It's our biggest deal available, ma'am. You'll receive a bouquet every week. She's the first one who ordered from us without stating a specific end date. According to her, she's going to pay everything until she returns to the country.. and she wants you to know that."

"Hey.. are you sure that Chou Tzuyu sent this to me?"

"Yes ma'am, we know her personally," the other staff suddenly handed me a notepad with a receipt. "Please fill up with your address, ma'am."

I can't believe this, Tzuyu-yah..

I quickly filled up and bowed to them before they left me with the bouquet. I was lost, everything is happening so fast that my mind wasn't able to process it all at once.

But as I was taking a closer look at the roses, I noticed a pink envelope carefully placed in between them.

Huh? It's definitely from Tzuyu! She used my username from the application where we met online.. However, she told me that she's no longer using that application though.

I opened the letter carefully and started reading it..

Sana Unnie! It's me, Tzuyu-yah. I planned something for you, because I really hate seeing you sad.. it pains me even more, so let's just live happily starting from now on.

I told you that you will definitely win the game this time, so what did you think about the bouquet-per-week? I didn't have much time to prepare.. but I did well Unnie, didn't I?

Tears started welling up in my eyes.

"Y-You did so well.. Tzuyu-yah." I whispered to myself as I continued reading the letter.

Sana Unnie! You should enjoy your life without worrying too much now. Because I will always be here for you, no matter what.

I will be back soon, so just trust me. Will you do that, Sana Unnie?

Love,

And before I even realized, tears were already falling on my cheeks.. as if doesn't plan to stop anytime sooner.

"O-Of course.. Unnie will wait for you.. only you, Tzuyu-yah."

I was about to put the letter back to its envelope after reading her username at the end, when I suddenly noticed an ink below it.

0923-456-0618

Call me, Sana Unnie :)

I ended up covering my mouth in surprise as I unbelievably looked at it. "Heol.. I-I can't believe she remembered it!"

She's really the best thing that has ever happened to me.

To be continued..
