Sakura's thoughts...

I heard the church bell rings as Ino gave a finishing touch to my make-up while Hinata adjusted my veil. Today is the big day I bites my lip nervously.

Ino : Stop doing that. Your destroying the makeup.

Me : Sorry. Am just nervous.

Hinata : It happens. Don't worry.

I never saw Sasuke after that day and hoped that he left for the best.... But for some reason... Even though it is my wedding... I couldn't forget that day's incident... My eyes softened while remembering him saying "I love you" to me.

Ino : Hey... You ok?

Me : Huh?.... You said something?....

Ino : What happened Sakura?...

Me : Nothing....

Ino : You thinking about Sasuke aren't you?

Hinata : She is?....

Me : No. Of course not. Don't talk nonsense.

The door opened as mom entered the scene along with Dad. Both of them had tears in their eyes as dad gave his hand as I stood in front of them.

Me : How am I looking?

Mom : Gorgeous.

We sobbed softly while hugging each other.

Ino : Don't you dare. I have spent hours after your face. I don't want the bride to be ugly!!

Me : Am sorry....

The third and the last ding dong of the church bell is heard as dad takes my hand and leads me to the large wooden curve door.... My face was covered as I looked down while we walked... I took a deep breath as I walked down the aisle as peoples eyes falls on me... I was about to stand on the high platform in front of the pastor when I noticed something odd. As I pulled the groom down making him stand in front of me.

"It is Sasuke"

I was unable to speak anything for a while before slapping him hard on his face and removing my veil throwing it on the floor. My hair opened and fell on over my face hiding my furious eyes as I caught hold of his collar.

Me : You said you will leave.... Then what the fuck you doing here?! And where is Gaara?.... (Turning to everyone) And why people are quiet?... Why not throw him out??

Sasuke : Sakura.....

Me : Don't you dare open your mouth! You piece of shit! I thought you changed..... But you didn't.... Was it necessary to ruin my wedding?...

Ino : Sakura... Calm down...

Me : Calm down?! Will you be able to calm down if this shit happened in your fucking life??!

Ino : No...

Me : (tears rolls down from my eyes) Why always me then..... He is even wearing the suit I selected for Gaara.... Why.....

I started hitting Sasuke with the bouquet in my hand my when someone grabbed my wrist... Moving my eyes annoyed I found Gaara's sad face looking at me... Dropping the bouquet I turned towards Gaara as he leaves my hand.... All of a sudden all hatred disappeared.... As I pulled him into a hug in relief...

Me : Am so glad that your fine....

Gaara : Stop it Sakura. Sasuke has nothing to do with it.... Rather it was me. Who brought him here.

Me : (leaving him) What are are you talking about Gaara?....

Sasuke : It's true.... He requested me to do this....

Me : Did I gave you permission to open your mouth?!

Gaara : Let him speak Sakura...

Me : But....

Gaara : Please... He is telling the truth....

Me : (looking at Sasuke) He is?....

Sasuke : *nods* Yea....

Me : Then... Say....

Sasuke's thoughts...

Two months ago...

I was packing my bags after what happened two days ago... My heart was aching as I thought of leaving Sakura forever... After all she wants that doesn't she?.... What have I done to myself?.... She must have felt the same?.... Or maybe worse?

Karin : How can she just reject?? Am gonna punch her right on the face!!

Me : Stop it Karin. I deserved it.

Suigetsu : I agree with Karin this time man.... She should have at least given you another chance.

Me : Haven't she already given me many?

Karin : But....

I picked up my luggages along with my guitar and looked at them.

Me : She saved me life. Let me stay with her even after everything. And look what I did. Made her commit suicide, embarrassed her, left her etc etc.... I deserve this. So don't stop me. If you want to come then well and good or else am closing this band. Find your own life.

Suigetsu : Your leaving us for a girl?? Did you forget the bro-code?

Me : Karin is a girl. So bro-code hardly matters in this situation.

I opened the door and was about to leave when I saw Gaara waiting outside. At first I made an annoyed face.

Gaara : May I come in?

Me : Sure.

He enters the place as I make room for him. Suigetsu was about to hit him when I caught hold of him (Suigetsu)...

Me : If you come here to make fun of me by saying you won then please leave. Am already in a bad mood.

Suigetsu : Sasuke is leaving us thanks to you and your bitch!

Me : Stop it Suigetsu! Don't you dare badmouth Sakura!

Gaara : She loves you....

Me : Huh? *shocked*

Gaara : I always tried to find love for me in her eyes... When I finally found it... I realized it was for you... I was so stupid... To ever dream of having her....

Me : What are you even talking about?.... She told me herself... She hates me... Your gonna marry her... So.... What's the problem...

Gaara : The problem is... She is sacrificing for me... And I don't want that...

Me : *sighs* You should leave now... It will hurt Sakura.... If she comes to know you came to meet me... Moreover... Am leaving this town forever...

Gaara : That won't be necessary. I want you to marry her.

Me : What?!

Sakura's thoughts....

Current situation...

Me : How could you do this to me?.... (Tearing up) Am I a play toy to you all!.... Every single of you knew about this!.... Mom... Dad... Ino.... Hinata... At least... I never expected this from you.... And Gaara... Who gave you the right to decide whom I love and whom I don't?!

Gaara : I... Heard... Everything that day... When Sasuke... And you were talking during new year....

Me : You did?...

Gaara : Yeah... You don't love me....

Me : Then you should have also seen how my face brightened up after that?... After Sasuke said he is leaving!

Gaara : Or was it due to Sasuke said he loves you?... That both of you have feelings for each other?...

Me : Oh. So your scared that I will cheat on you?

Gaara : No. And am really glad you pushed Sasuke away cause you were going to marry me... It really made me happy... I never doubted in your loyalty... But then again it is sad that.... Your sacrificing yourself for me.. I don't want that....

Me : (bites my lip) I don't understand......

Gaara : You can either marry Sasuke... Or remain single... Your choice...

Me : If I leave. Everyone will blame me. Cause am a girl. Society blames us for whatever happens!

Gaara : (Holds my shoulders) You know very well.... No one will blame you here... But whatever you decide... Before that calm yourself and close your eyes and ask for answers to what you really want.

I did as I was told only to see Sasuke's face appearing in front of me... I opened my eyes blushing.... I was still in love with him.... Taking the ring that Gaara proposed me with out of my ring finger I handed it over to him and looked as Sasuke still blushing...

Me : Sasuke kun.... Did you bring anything to propose me?

Sasuke : Not as costly as Gaara's but yea...

He kneels down and takes out a diamond ring looking at me...

Sasuke : Miss Sakura Haruno will you like to become Mrs Uchiha?

Me : (giving my hand) I would love to.

He puts the ring in my ring finger getting up on his feet he pulls me into a warm kiss... Soon we were standing on the high platform as the pastor start reading out from the holy Bible...

Pastor : Let us begin with the vows?

We : Yes...

We were lost into each other eyes during whole time only hear that part of what Pastor said...

Pastor : Do you both pledge to share your lives openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love?

"We do"

Pastor : Do you promise to honour and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together through sorry and joy, hardships and triumphs for all the days of your lives.

"We do"

Pastor : Please repeat after me mister Uchiha.

The pastor looks at him. Sasuke nods his head in response.

"I, Sasuke Uchiha, promise to love cherish and honour you for all the days that we may be together, to carry you through sickness and in health, to have and to hold you by my side."

After repeating this Sasuke smiles at me warmly making my cheeks bright red. Now Pastor moved his eyes towards me and said the same thing as before...

Pastor : Please repeat after me miss Haruno.

"I, Sakura Haruno, promise to love, cherish and honour you for all the days that we may be together, to carry you through sickness and in health, to have and to hold you by my side. "

Repeating after the pastor with a blush on my face I tried to smile back at Sasuke kun... Is this reality or a dream?.... Me getting married to Sasuke.... The person whom he found annoying his whole life.... Is marrying him....

Pastor : Now for the vows... (He closes the Bible) Do you, Sasuke Uchiha, take Sakura Haruno as your lawfully wedded wife?

Sasuke : I do.

Pastor : And, do you, Sakura Haruno, take Sasuke Uchiha to be your lawfully wedded husband?

Me : I do.

Pastor : I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride. *smiles*

He pulls my closer putting his hand on my waist as I touched his chest he brought his face near my lips.... For a second the time stopped... Tears of joy rolled down from my eyes as our lips finally touched each other.... As we kissed for a while only to be broken by Naruto's throat clearing sound.

Naruto : We know you two are desperate. But you will get your time.

We blushed and looked away still holding hands... As the night starts falling we danced, feasted and enjoyed ourselves....

"Sakura Uchiha"

It's still hard to believe it as I pulled Gaara and Naruto into a hug thanking them for whatever they did.... I felt sorry for Gaara.... But life goes on... Doesn't it?....

Few months later....

Sasuke's thoughts....

I sat down on the bed after sex it's early morning as the sunlight entered the room through the gap between the curtains. Lighting a cigarette I start smoking as Sakura gave me a naughty look still laying under the blanket naked.
I still can't believe that I have her beside me.... Even after everything I did to her... Am really grateful that she was able to forgive me... I kissed her forehead before standing....

Sakura : Sarada would be a great name won't it? For a baby girl?

Me : Huh?

Sakura : I checked my pregnancy two days ago... And it's positive.

Me : (my eyes sparkled with tears as I looked at her) Yeah.... It would be...

Sitting down she wears one of my shirt before hugging me from behind.

Sakura : No more smoking from today. Promise me?

Me : (throwing away the Cigarette and pulling her in front of me) I promise.

Sakura : All the best for today's concert.

I gave her a long passionate kiss before wearing my clothes and walking off...

"Thank you Sakura.... "

The End....
