Sakura, her name is as beautiful and as delicate as she is. I wonder if I could see her again.
-----------------------
I went early to the hospital hoping to see Sakura once more. I glanced at the garden as I pass but she was not there.
When I opened the door I saw Daisuke and grandpa talking,then Daisuke saw me and motioned me to get in.I saw grandpa smiled when he saw me,I beamed at him and gave his hand a light squeezed.
"Grandpa,since Hayato is here I'll go home now" he said.
Grandpa nodded. Daisuke patted my back and told me that grandpa already ate and he needed to take his medicine at 9:00 o'clock.
I read a book while grandpa was resting.I'm relieved that he has gained a little of his previous strength back.When I glanced at the window I saw a familiar face,she was talking intently to the doctor,she looked at him with a pleading eyes.I noticed that she was crying again. They headed to the garden.The nurse came in to bring grandpa to the CAT scan room. I waited outside the room and then I saw her passed, Sakura looked feverish and she fainted.Good thing I was there,I was able to catch her before she slammed on the cold tiles of the hospital floor.Just as I thought,Sakura has a fever,I think what happened yesterday was the reason and I'm worried that she will have pneumonia. I called up a doctor and she was rushed to the emergency room.
I wonder if she will be okay.Grandpa was done with the CAT scan and the doctor told me he will be released after two days. I'm glad because of grandpa's fast recovery.When we went back to the room my mom was there,she told me that she will watch over grandpa and asked me to go home.
I went to the information desk.
"Excuse me,may I know where Sakura's room is?"I asked.
"What is her surname sir?"
"I don't know,but she was was rushed to the emergency room earlier"I answered
"It's Miss Sakura Suzuki,she's in the ICU because of her pneumonia was already in stage 3,she's in a critical state"she gave me a sympathetic look,I rushed towards the ICU.I want to see her.
I saw her through the glass window,she looked weak,if only I could be
in her place.Seeing her in such a state is unbearable.
---------------------
Even though grandpa already went home,I still visit the hospital, Sakura is recovering slowly which was a relief. Everytime I visit her she is asleep,but even so I'm happy because I was able to see her.
After my fourth visit I was lucky because she was awake. I saw her bewildered expression when she saw me. She must have forgotten who I am. Then after staring at me for a while her face lit up with the dawn of recognition.
"Ah,the umbrella guy"she said weakly whilst trying to sit up on her bed.
"Don't strain yourself too much Sakura-san.
"Shimpaishinaide Hayato-san,I'm fine. How did you find out I'm here?"she asked quizically.
"You didn't remember who caught you when you fainted ?"I asked.
"Was it you?Gomen my vision was a blurr during that time,I'm sorry for causing you trouble once again" she apologized.
"Iie,anyone would do the same thing in that situation" I answered.
"Still you saved me,hontou ni arigatou Hayato-san"
------------------------
I continued visiting Sakura until she was discharged from the hospital. We exchanged e-mails so we can still keep in touch.
Sakura's POV
After I was discharged from the hospital I went home and otousan's funeral wake welcomed me. I felt numb from crying from previous days. Okaasan and oniichan were trying to be strong for me since they don't want me to be stressed because I just recovered from pneumonia.
I approached otousan's coffin and the moment I saw his face I was flooded with feeling of strong grief. His face looked so peaceful and somehow I know that he will have eternal peace and happiness in the after life, but it didn't stop me from missing him so badly. Otousan may be strict but I am closer to him than Okaasan. We usually do things together during his day off from work. Oniichan always complain about the fact that Otousan always favor me over him.Then Otousan will just tell him it's because I'm the youngest so he tends to be indulgent when it comes to my demands.
I touched the cold glass hoping that all of these were just a dream. That I would suddenly wake up from this nightmare, "Otousan please open your eyes, tell me it's ll just an act, I wouldn't get mad I promise,just please open your eyes" I begged,my tears fell down the the coffin like the rain,just like that time when I found out that he passed away, I want to drown myself and let the cold raindrops benumb my senses. i want to go back to the time where my precious Otousan was still alive. I want everything to go back to normal but it seems impossible. Otousan's passing will surely leave us devastated, I don't know how I could bounce back from this tragedy.
Before the burial my mom told me to give the eulogy and with a cracking voice I delivered it with an aching heart.
"Otousan was and will always be my hero. Suzuki Yusuke was a great father to me and oniichan. I was his princess. Although he was strict he never deprived us of his love. It was because of him that I learned a lot of things about life.
I remember when we were small he would always tells us stories and even though he was far away he would call just to tell us stories before we sleep.He loved us more than he love himself and for that I am grateful.He was not only a father to us but a friend, a counselor, a teacher and also a protector. He could be anything that we needed. The values that he taught we will never depart from it and the memories that we shared will forever be cherished. Otousan wherever you are right now, I want you to know that Okaasan, oniichan and I, love you so much, we will never complete again since you take with you a big part of our lives but nevertheless we know that you want us to move on without you.Sayonara my beloved father,you will always be remembered here in the deepest part of our hearts"
My eyes were all puffy as I ended my eulogy and was really sobbing hard, oniiichan rubbed my back for me to calm down a bit.
A few days after the burial my mom got transfered into another branch which means we need to move with her. She sold our house and bought a new one which is closer to her new workplace.We were reluctant to leave since the house bear a lot of memories of otousan but just like I said we have to move on. Since we move to a different place oniichan and I got transfered to a nearby school.
Oniichan held my hand as we enter the gates of Shizukawa Gakuen. We went to the headmaster's office first for orientation then we were accompanied by our advisers to our respective classrooms. I stayed outside my classroom and waited for my adviser to call me and when he did I silently entered the classroom.
"Please introduce yourself Suzuki-chan" he said.
"Konichiwa minna-san!Hajimemashite, Suzuki Sakura desu.Yoroshiku onegaishimasu!" I bowed and when I raised my head
"Sakura-san!"
"Sakura-chan!"
I saw Daisuke and Hayato,they both looked happy to see me.
"You know her?" they chorused looking at each other in utter bewilderment.
Sensei smiled,"That's good then, Daisuke-kun and Hayato-kun, I trust Suzuki-chan into your care, and you may take the seat between them Suzuki-san" sensei pointed at an empty seat between Hayato and Daisuke.
