This love is bad...
“You told me to wait for you”
Her voice is as soft as it can be, the rain almost too loud compared to her breaking voice. She bit her lip, trying her best to compose herself, to not cry in front of him.
“I never told you to wait for me,”
Words slipped out his mouth like it was nothing, memories of their past washed away with the rain. That was Sakura’s breaking point.
“I did it because I love you!” she screamed. She screamed so loud hoping the sound of her heart breaking could be masked by it. Tears streaming down her cheeks along with the droplets of rain falling from her head. It was refreshing yet so, so painful.
“I wanted you to be happy!”
“I was happiest with you!”
The rain became angrier, as if to match them both, soaking them, maybe it was trying to wash their anger. Eyes staring, glaring, looking at each other. This was not how they looked at each other in the past, the past all forgotten now like a dream.
Big droplets of rain hit Sakura from head to toe, it almost hurt, almost, compared to the anger, confusion, hurt that she is feeling right now. She looked at Sasuke, who’s trying to find words to say. The eyes that used to look at her with love and care now turned to glares.
“I didn’t have a choice, Sakura!” he raised his voice a little louder, trying to get his message come through amidst the loud rain around them. Thunders covering up the fact that he too, wanted to scream, wanted to run to her and hold her.
“You had a choice, Sasuke-kun! You had a choice to stop that arranged marriage of yours! You asked me to marry and run away with you, remember?! And when we were supposed to meet, you bailed on me! You had a choice but you chose not to!”
He can feel her anger, 6 feet apart yet he can feel and hear her anger. Tears are there for sure, he just couldn’t see it because of the rain but he knows. What should he say? All she said were true. He left her.
“For years I was so confused as to why you would do that, we could’ve had it all Sasuke-kun. We could’ve built a family of our own. But you came out of nowhere with your child in one hand and your wife with the other, showing me that you are happiest with them,” Sakura continued. She couldn’t describe what she’s feeling right now, she couldn’t look at him anymore.
This time she was the one who walked away first. She walked towards her car, still soaking from the rain, while he stood there on the same spot. This was their spot, nights where they would laugh and fool around, nights where they would plan out their future together, nights where Sakura just wanted to turn back time to.
But she can’t.
She says goodbye to that place the same way she saw his image slowly disappearing from the mirror of her car.
She says goodbye to him.
