Memories

Happy new year everyone❤️❤️❤️

"Oto san, you summoned me" hinata said as she entered hiashi's office.
She just came back from the entertainment park.
She hasn't been going out lately, since she lost neji.
She used to go there with Neji, and she decided she won't go there since he passed away.
But kiba and shino, along with TenTen insisted, since they knew she should that she musn't spend this particular day alone.
She did had fun there, though, it wasn't like when nii san was around.
"Come in daughter" hiashi said.
Hiashi was a stern man, very cold and aloof, just like deceased neji, and what do you expect from military guy like them.
Their occupation obliged them to wrap up their emotions and harden them.
However, though neji nii san was really cold, stoic, aloof yet, he was so gentle and tender only around hinata.
She just remembers when he always hide his emotions behind his stoic face, yet she knew what he felt inside.
He used to worry about her too much, and his response was as aggressive as ever.
If she tends to stay a little bit late, he used to lose it and sometimes he snaps at her, yet she knew how concerned he was.
But hiashi was a different story.
Hiashi was very stern, more stern and firm.
But she knew her father quiet well.
Hiashi, even though his firmness, yet she knew how her father's heart was fragile.
Though, he didn't shed a single tear when neji died, yet she saw him sob at night quietly, inside his room.
Though, he didn't show her much love, yet she knew how much he loved them both, her and hanabi.
Hinata lost her mother long ago, to cancer, but she can remember Hiashi spending nights and days by her mother's side.
She was so young around that time,  but she remembers how hiashi held his wife's limp body and wept.
"Sit down daughter" hiashi said as he patted his daughter's back.
"What, father?" She asked.
"Well, hinata...i.." hiashi started.
His heart has been tearing since neji died.
He had seen his daughter literally dying, just like him.
But since hiashi is acquainted with war losses, the threshold of holding and sucking it up was high.
But his daughter, was suffering so slow.
He couldn't see how she suffered, the loss was major, and devastating.
His daughter was a zombie walking, soulless.
Only living waiting to die.
She lost the interest in life he can see.
She used to work as a nurse but she stopped when neji died.
She lost her purpose in life.
Hiashi thought that if he let her marry to someone who was like Neji, maybe she'd blooms again.
Or even not him, maybe she'd be distracted in being a wife.
He waited for her to fall in love, and ask him for his blessing, maybe she'd be even more lively, but that didn't happen.
Hiashi knew how his daughter beauty was extraordinary, and everyone desired the hyuga's wealth and beauty, yet, she pushed everyone away.
"Congratulations my dear daughter...you are to be wed to one of my loyal Marshall's" hiashi said.
Hinata's eyes widened and her veins popped.
"B..but oto san...i..desire none" She stammered.
"Hinata daughter, its been a long time..besides, he is such a decent guy" hiashi continued.
"I am sure you'd love him" hiashi said.
Hinata kept silent.
She doesn't want to marry, she just want to die and go to her nii san.
How can she live her life happily when her nii san isn't here!?
"Oto san, onigai..i don't want to marry" hinata pleaded and bowed.
"My dear daughter, he is a handsome guy, very smart and sharp, besides, hinata dear, you are now nineteen, your age has been married..." hiashi retorted
"I don't care about anyone oto san, oniigai" she said politely.
Hiashi sighed.
"Hinata daughter, its been settled...do it for neji ni san" he said.
Hinata's eyes widened.
"He would have asked you to be happy...and live" hiashi said as he cupped her cheeks.
"I don't want to be happy..i don't want to live!!! I want my nii san back!" She snapped and cried.
Hiashi went over to her and slowly hugged her.
He stroke her hair slowly.
"Then do it for me, hinata..." hiashi said.
Hinata does love her father so much.
She can't turn any of his request down.
Since her father was the one who raised her, and never ever made her feel she lost her mother along with neji.
"I...i can't oto san" she pleaded.
"Oniigaii, daughter" he said.
"H..hai" hinata nodded.

"Poor girl? She was pushed to marry him?" She said.
"Well, technically both were" he said.
"Did he regret marrying her?" She asked.
"He regret not knowing her before and not loving her since childhood...he regrets every second he spent his life not being with her" he said.
"She was the best the ever happened to him" he continued.
"Does she feels the same?" She asked.
"She used to tell him that..." he said.
"So, how did their first meeting went..." she asked.
"Well..quiet good...as told..."

Sasuke sat down on the couch, waiting for his arranged marriage upcoming wife, to come down the stairs, it was their first meeting.
He wasn't nervous, he didn't even care, he was only irritated with this young girl, actually a quite teenager, fifteen years old at max, sitting across him, eyeing him with her pale orbs.
She must be his wife's sister.
Hiashi younger daughter.
She had tanned skin and brown hair, but the pale orbs was the same as hiashi, but no tint of lavender like the beauty hinata.
Hinata had indigo hair and pale skin.
She was indeed a unique hyuga, even neji's hair was brown.
The girl was eyeing him, inspecting him intently.
She suddenly approached him, pinned her face few inches from his.
"If you ever hurt my sister, i'll hunt you down" she said bluntly.
This girl was somehow, annoying, brave and blunt, maybe on the contrast from the girl he bumped to and she was so polite, innocent and shy.
"But i have to say, you are quiet handsome..." hanabi retorted.
Sasuke didn't answer or even respond.
"Hanabi...don't be shameful" hiashi said as he saw hanabi blackmailing sasuke.
Sasuke stood up and bowed to his own boss.
"Hinata is coming shortly" hiashi said.
After mere of minutes, a beauty actually came out.
She was like a princess from fairy tales, for sasuke, he never admired any girl's beauty, but her was different, her aura, her eyes, the pale orbs with tint of lavender, those blushing natural cheeks.
The plump lips and the thick, long eye lashes that surrounded her eyes perfectly.
The fair skin, and the decency in the dress she wore.
Long sleeves, covered her most, but still showed the beauty's .
Sasuke stood up.
"Gomennesai...i...i kept you waiting..." she said before her eyes locked with his and that when she knew who he was.
"A..ano..it.." but before she continue.
"Shall we?" Sasuke interrupted her, he slowly placed his forearm so she'd cling to it.
"H..hai" She stammered and blushed.
Sasuke dragged her out of the house, heading to the restaurant he reserved.
