Aftermath!

Epilogue

6 years later....

Sasuke's POV:

Years have gone by, Sakura and I didn't talked for almost a year after our conversation. She left Konoha for some years. She travelled throughout nations and started helping the medical staff to equip them with good facilities. She is now a world renowned kunoichi. As for me, I am travelling. After 3 years, she came back to the village again, she looked so beautiful and she was engaged by then and she was always so happy. On the other hand, I courted Karin. She knew that I don't love her but she readily accepted for our marriage deal. Years have gone by, I still don't love Karin but I respect her because she accepted me the way I was. Sakura and I both have children. I have a boy and she has a girl.

We both interact a bit. We meet each other at reunion parties. Things were awkward, but everything started to get settle with time.

Slowly and steadily, I accepted the fact that I couldn't get everything I wanted. Sakura taught me to value and respect people around me. Though, I don't love Karin. I respect her. She is a friend to me and a caring mother.

I realised after my confrontation with Sakura, that I can't keep hurting people I love. I need to be more expressive and loving. Whenever I see her, I feel so proud of her because unknowingly, she taught me to value people which I lacked so much.

I am so thankful to her. I hope one day, we could talk to each other as friends not more than that or less than that.

I still love her but it's not selfish. I know she is happy and I don't want to spoil her life.

As for my life, I want nothing for myself. I just want my child to not make the choices I made in past. I'll teach him to be a better human being who cares, loves, respects and values his loved ones. I know this will be hard but I'll try my best to love and teach him good values.

Sometimes, we don't get what we desire but everything happens for good. If Sakura would have accepted me, probably I wouldn't have cared for people as I do now.

I just want to thank her. She is indeed a cheerful cherry blossom who enlightened my life with love and happiness.

Thankyou Sakura!
