The spring that symbolizes new beginning. It was the time of the year when everything seem to be as radiant as the blue sky. It wasn't as cold as winter nor as hot as summer, just the perfect balance of a perfect weather. The sidewalks around the City of Tokyo has been decorated with pink petals. The Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom around the country but nothing can be compared to the Cherry Blossom trees in the Uchiha Residence in Sumida, lining up in the garden as the petals decorated the artificial small lake.

"How are you feeling, Sakura?" Kurenai asked as they sat in the backseat.

"Nervous? But really excited!"

They had finish and finalize everything a week ago, from the guests, food and cakes, photographers, the venue, everything up from the biggest to littlest things have been taken care of.

"Kurenai-san, thank you so much for everything," Sakura said as she felt a hand squeezing hers.

"Sakura, ever since I lost my lover, I have devoted myself into making every girls' dream weddings come true."

Kurenai's lover, Sakura was able to hear her story when Kurenai told her about it a week ago when it was just the two of them. Sakura listened and watched as she talked about the man who had stolen Kurenai's heart when she was young. Sakura saw how Kurenai's eyes seem to sparkle and her words seem to sway in sync with her emotions. Sakura wonder if that's how she looks every time she talks about Sasuke. Even though Kurenai's lover passed away so many years ago, she said that her heart was taken by him to his grave and Sakura realized how much she really does loved him.

"You'll find happiness too, Kurenai-san," Sakura said, squeezing her hand back. Happiness do come in many forms and Sakura knew Kurenai will find hers.

Aoda looked at the rearview mirror for a second before clearing his throat, not really wanting to break the two women's moment.

"Ladies, we're almost at the hotel," Aoda said as they saw the building came into view.

Sakura learned that the Uchiha owned quite a few buildings around Japan and abroad, mostly hotels and this hotel in Kanagawa is one of them. The hotel would be the venue for the reception and they decided to get here a day before the wedding.

Sakura hasn't seen Sasuke ever since this morning. In fact they haven't interacted much for the past week because of their busy schedules with the designers. The last time they were together was on Sakura's birthday and after that, they haven't interacted much. But Sakura knew all of it were just a small preparations for tomorrow.

They arrived at the hotel and Aoda excused himself saying he will be waiting for Sasuke when he arrives as Sakura and Kurenai walked farther in the lobby where they saw Ino who immediately run towards Sakura and engulfed her in a hug. Kurenai on the other hand excused herself as well when she saw Mei.

"My best friend, oh I can't believe you're getting married! I promise I'll join the housewife club soon. I can't be the only one left without a ring you know!" Ino said and Sakura tried to squeeze her way out of her bear hug and looked at Ino with a frown.
