On the bed, a young handsome man was lying while grinning ear to ear with his mobile at his hands.
ASHER: *sitting in a daze* what are you doing sakura-chan~?
SAKURA: *Tapping the forehead* hmm, chatting with you?
ASHER: *pouting* you don't need to be so blunt, so tell me what were you doing? or what will you do? *Twinkling stars in eyes*
SAKURA: *proud grin with shiny teeth* I was reading novels and i will be writing my personal diary.
ASHER: *grinning evilly* what kind of novel? wow you write personal diary also.
Although he wrote showing his excitement but then his heart twisted in pain as he remembered her diary's title 'Living with Dying' just by thinking about the title he could feel how much pain and fear one could have gone to, so that they can live knowing well that they are going to die soon.
In spur of the moment he wrote her
ASHER: Sakura, You can share everything with me, I will always support you and will never leave your side.
Just as he clicked the sent button, reality dawned on him and he quickly placed the phone under his pillow as his heart started beating erratically in nervousness and anticipation, 'What she will think about me now? will she avoid me? will she think that i am too clingy?'
While he was having these thoughts a *ding* sound came and pulled him out of his daze as he pulled his phone nervously.
(In Sakura's home)
A young beautiful woman was lying on her bed with a teddy bear on her side and was tapping on her phone with a giddy smile on her face then she received a message
ASHER: Sakura, You can share everything with me, I will always support you and will never leave your side.
Reading the message firstly she didn't knew why would he send her a message like this. Sakura was not stupid, she is not a daughter of previous one of the most influential family in japan for nothing.
She had noticed asher's gaze towards her as if he knows her disease, although he doesn't show pity or sympathy, but his strong desire of protect her didn't go unnoticed by her, she knew that he was not a normal person and has his own secrets as she also have her own few secrets.
But nevertheless, she knew that all his reactions were genuine, his caring and protective attitude towards her, his attention and a spark of desire in his eyes, but all this results only providing warmth to the deepest unexplored parts of her heart.
Then she replied with a gentle smile plastered on her face,
SAKURA: I will Asher, you can also share everything with me and i will always believe in you.
Then she blushed seeing her reply, 'Oh my always?' a big grin appeared on her face.
(In Asher's home)
When he read the message, he jumped on his bed in happiness as warmth seeped into his heart making him feel satisfied and contend, and also he felt RELIEVED.
He replied,
ASHER: *anticipating* Thank you so much sakura, for confining and believing in me. I will not break your belief. *yawning* Good night Sakura-chan~, sweet dreams~
He was tempted to write "dream of me" but he knew that it would be very fast, atleast she developed trust towards him.
He thought, 'I can only hope that she will forgive me when she will know that i have connections in underworld' but knowing her personality and confidence in himself he knew that it will be alright.
Then another *ding* sound came
SAKURA: Good night Asher-kun~ *grinning teasingly* dream of me heheh~~~
He dropped the phone on his bed as he thought, 'Oh my that was totally unexpected, how can my fragile heart handle her, aah when will i be able to devour those plump pink lips, when will i be able to cuddle her her soft body, haish this one-sided love is really painful'
Then he dispelled these thoughts as he said to himself like a mantra, "One step at a time bro, one step at a time bro, one...."
Then he smacked both of his cheeks and sat down on the computer searching for venue of his A.S.H empire.
He found a plateau like region 8km in radius, is surrounded by trees and vegetation and a lake is near it.
He was searching in confidential and top-secret websites that's why this location has been left till now. He decided to purchase this plot.
Tomorrow is his holiday from school, so he had decided to publish his cure of gland cancer as well as inviting recruitments for his hospital.
He grinned evilly as he said to himself, "Heheh~tomorrow is going to be a exciting day..."
Then he sprawled on his bed and went to slumber thinking about his moments and talk with sakura as a smile hung up on his face.
Next morning
Asher woke up and followed his regular routine and he also made a mental note to himself to invite sakura to his home in excuse of training, he started laughing at his own thoughts.
Then he took his phone and sent, as he was sitting for his breakfast with his parents
ASHER: *sun* Rise and shine, I dreamed all night of you sakura-chan~
After some time a reply came,
SAKURA: *blushing* you don't need me to tell that, last night was just a slip of tongue
ASHER: *innocently blinking eyes* but what i can do if i dream about you
SAKURA: *rolling eyes* god knows how many women you dreamed off
Asher felt anger spreading from his eyes as his parents went stiff thinking what happened to their brightly laughing son.
Asher looked towards them as they straightened their backs, "Excuse me i need to make a call."
Then he walked towards the garden and dialed sakura's number while thinking, 'how can i ever dream of other girl when i love you so much, i can't stand without talking it out with her.'
(In sakura home)
She was done with her morning stretches as she was messaging with asher, she was delighted and blushed madly when he said that he dreamed of her but when she send message about how many women he dreamed of, he didn't messaged.
Seeing it a pain spread in her heart as her mood became sour, 'Yeah i knew that this guy must be a playboy, all these guys are same wretched hearts' she started cursing asher.
Then suddenly her phone started ringing and when her eyes looked at the dialer her eyes went wide, 'Why is he calling me? Breaking all relations?' her heart twisted thinking about these possibilities but she also recomposed herself as she knew that she could be misunderstanding.
And she knew that misunderstanding is one of the major things that could easily destroy relationships so she picked up the phone and took it towards her ear.
She heard a desperate and angered voice, "How could you message me that i dreams of many girls? Am i such a lowly person in your eyes? It was my first time i have dreamed of any person and it was you sakura, so please don't misunderstand me like that, "
A pang of guilt appeared in her heart as tears were warning to fall as she said while sniffling, "I am sorry, i shouldn't have doubted you. I just felt that you are so good then you might have many girls and i might be another 'thing' for you *sniff*, i am sorry asher *sniff*"
Then a worried and panicked voice came out, "Please don't cry sakura, its my fault for not able to assure you correctly, and you are NEVER a 'thing' for me NEVER EVER and nor do i have such 'things' previously or in future. I am not perfect or good as you presume sakura. There are somethings that i cannot tell you in present. But i assure when things are stabled and slowly i will tell you everything"
A look of astonishment was on her face as well as warmth and happiness while feeling the emotions he continued, "I know there is something that you are hiding, something big, i can look at your face when sometimes it shows as if you are afraid of becoming or making someone close to yourself, don't worry whenever you feel like you can tell me. And i have quite a background and connections so you can count on me anything."
Hearing his determination, support, care, patience and attention towards she could not help but break down tears as he kept saying, "Please don't cry sakura, it pains me to hear you crying"
He was continuously consoling her which made her tears fall more faster as she felt guilty but after sometime she composed herself as she gratefully and full of warmth said to him, "Thank You.."
Asher said, "You don't need to thank me, now properly take rest and we will meet tomorrow bye~"
Sakura smiled brightly and said, "Bye~"
(In Asher's home)
Asher laid down the grass, 'hah, atleast i cleared some of her misunderstandings'
Then he braced himself as there are many important matters to take care off...
