Sasusaku Snippets

Snippet 20

Birds chirping in a cloudy afternoon and I hear faint sounds. Sounds of someone walking in grass, and instantly, I knew who it was.

Sasuke.

"Good afternoon, Sakura." He smiled, and so did I. He sat beside me and we watched the sky peacefully, enjoying each other's presence. I hum a quiet tune that only he can hear.

A few minutes pass by and I take a glance to see his features. Goodness, he aged like fine wine. His hair has gotten longer (he needs to cut it, really.), and his once smooth complexion, now covered with wrinkles that are too many to count. Despite his changed appearance due to old age, he will always be handsome to her eyes.

And finally, he looked at me. The spark in his black orbs fading away every now and then, but why? She doesn't know.

"Today's your 1 year death anniversary."

Oh, right.

I, Sakura Uchiha, had passed away at the age of 82.

Today marks 1 year of her departure.

He still couldn't believe it. To this day, he still mourns her loss.

There was never a day where he did not think of her, the same goes for his daughter, Sarada. Eventually, she was able to accept and move forward to continue taking care of her family.

It's been pretty lonely since you left. Naruto often invites me to do the most random activities, both for exercise and to distract me. For that, I am grateful towards him. I was able to enjoy those days even if you're not part of them.

Most days, I stare at our pictures, I read our letters when I was away on my travels, sometimes...I hum your tune towards our grandchildren. I do many things that remind me of you. It brings me comfort for the most part, but it brings me pain also.

As impatient as I am, I will wait for my departure. I cannot wait to see you again, dear.

"My sweet, sweet spring. I'll see you soon."
