"Papa....what's gonna happen tomorrow?"

The old man chuckled.
"Its a mystery Sakura."
.....

We live in Saka, its a pretty place near Hiroshima.

Papa always smiled at me. I got all the support I needed. I lost my mother when I was born. I didn't even got to see her face.

Papa said she died giving me birth but left a beautiful present for him. He says it was me.

I remember my Papa saying that I was born after the war has ended. I guess I was born in the year 1922.

Papa said that he suffered before I was born. He and mom used to live together since they were young. They had no shelter. Its pretty hard for me to guess all about it.
....

"Sakura!!!!! Come here!!!"

"Matte!! Baka!!",

Hehe....and that's my stupid friend.
Naruto. He's the biggest idiot I have ever seen.

He wanted to go in the air force, to serve our country.

.

Who knew he would end up in that...
.

As time passed, I was 17, and I fell in love with this idiot.

I know he loved me too, but none of is showed it. He used to smile at means both of us knew that we're in love.
He once almost got drowned because of me.

.

But all of a sudden all of it came to an end when...

Naruto came to me, I smiled the best but he sighed and Gabe a dull smile.
" You got guests, Sakura.", that's all
and he went away.

I turned and ran home and saw two people sitting there. One was an old man, maybe a year younger than my dad and a young handsome man of nearly my age, he looked at me and then looked down.

"He wants to marry you Sakura and he is in navy. This is perfect.!", my dad smiled.

I could see the happiness, a dad would want to see his only daughter to be married and safe and I lived in a typical Japanese family, runaway was not my thing and I happily accepted my fate, no matter how much I wanted to be with Naruto.

I smiled.

.

I was married to him, his family lived in Kure, a pretty nice and big town. The house was up on the mountain.

.

The guy's name was Uchiha Sasuke and now I was Uchiha Sakura.
He was truly a handsome guy.

The family was good. They smiled sometimes they would laugh at how clumsy I was. I was happy too.

.

Sasuke....we used to talk about stuff. He was a stern guy. He don't talk much, but, Mikoto san told me that I was the only one to whom he had talked this much. I was happy.

.

The air raids started.
Another war was at our door.

I could see the ships at the port from house.

Sasuke used to smile and tell about these ships. "Yamato", I still remember, the biggest ship that used to hold the air planes.

I always used to wonder if Naruto got to fly those things or not.
I would snuggle up his chest and cuddle.

He would go red. "Sakura....", and that was all he could say. I would chuckle.

And then he smiled and buried his face in my collarbone, making me blush.

.

He would entangle his fingers with mine, his eyes were pretty too, I feel lost in them. They were majestic but tender ant the same time.

The more I looked into them, I think the more I fell in love with him. We kissed on a rainy day.

We were in the shelter saving us from the air raids.

.

Sasuke used to come home once in three weeks.

Once when Yamato had returned to the port, Sasuke came back but, this time there were two men in the house.

Naruto. Yes I met him and invited him in, Sasuke gave me the permission.

"I'll sleep you ho and talk to your friend.", Sasuke said. I was a bit confuse. Why send your wife with another man at night, nevertheless went coz I wanted to.

.

We talked for hours, Naruto told me about the airplanes and many other.
We talked and before I knew he was all over me, we cuddled, he left some marks on my neck.

"Naruto,you don't know how much I wanted you.,"

"Me too, Sakura..you are warm unlike the war."

"But I'm sorry."

Naruto looked deep in me and then chuckled.

"So you love him...huh!!"

I nodded and smiled.

"Sakura...", his voice was heavy I felt some pain in my heart. "I am chosen to fly an aircraft."

"Isn't that great, Naruto?"

I was smiling but at the same time I felt my cheeks moist and warm. Why was I crying, I didn't knew maybe something is wrong.

"I have been passing to fly......the... Kamikaze"

And those words shook my soul. Without a word, I hugged him tight and made his cloth wet from crying. I cried , he hugged me tight. I had never felt this pain before, maybe it was the pain of losing someone.

"No you ....can't", I sobbed.

"Its okay Sakura, I chose it, I'll do anything for my country."

I knew it all he loved his country...but that night I didn't left the hold of his body.

We slept in each others presence.

The next day Naruto left in the morning, I smiled at him saw his back, the uniform suited him well.

Kamikaze were the suicide airplanes. Loaded with explosives, the soldier would die. Those planes were made to crash.

.

I saw Sasuke sleeping and I smiled at that innocent face. He woke up and looked at me. I blushed and punched him.

"Aaah!! What was that for?!", he whined.

"Don't you care about our marriage , leaving me with an another guy?????", I said in rage.

He sighed and said, "I thought that I made you marry me, I was feeling guilty, so..."

I wanted to break his bones, of course he made me is wife without my choice. But.....

"Idiot!!!!, I love you more than anyone."

I hugged him tight making me fall over him.

He smiled and we kissed, it went for a while and......

We did it.

.

The house was happy, because I was two months pregnant. Sasuke was there too.

The air raids were increased and many people got injured. Izumi San lost her hand, so mother and I had to work, .
Sasuke left for the navy services. He said it was the last time he'll fight, the war will be over soon and they would live a happy life. He promised to come back and live with us.
.
.

There was so much distraction.
The war has finally ended.

I once saw a huge cloud due to an explosion. It was filled with smoke and came from the direction of Hiroshima. Later I came to know a new kind of bomb was used.

I wanted to visit papa but the roads were melt down.

Japan lost the war, I was very angry. After all the sacrifice ,people gave, after Naruto's sacrifice, why did we lose the war.

.

Sasuke didn't return. I lost all the hopes.

.

I walked down the distorted road holding my little five months old baby. I saw a van coming near and someone came out of the van.

I dropped my bag and ran to the person.

It was........it was....Sasuke.

"Sasuke!!!!!!! Are you alright?!!!", I said as I hugged him tightly. "Let's get you to the hospital."

He smiled.

"Sakura....I love you so much. I stayed alive to see this face of yours......I am nearly dead. Taking me to somewhere is useless. I just want to say that I love you."

Sasuke smiled and kissed me. He then took hold of our daughter.

"She's.... Just like you Sasuke..".. I sobbed as he hugged both of us.
"How about I name her.... Sarada."

I smiled at this name and cried even more.

"Sakura lemme tell you a thing... Itachi told me this...

Yesterday is history....

Tomorrow is a mystery.
.......
.
.
.
" And today is a gift of God, and that's why we call it present........... so savour it..."

And that's what he told me that day... And he died at that spot.. I kept smiling after that.

"Momma are you coming?!!!"

"Haii!!!!, sarada matte!!!"
.
.
.
I love you ..Sasuke..
