Be Mine (BAD)

Part 1

I am Sakura Hara, twenty two years old and I want to confess.

I have sinned. I didn't meant to hurt someone but things got out of hand and I couldn't turn back time to change things. And I know, I will forever be sorry and will offer my remaining life to that person.

The day of my college graduation is finally here and I am about to claim the promise my father gave to me.

(10 years ago...)

Daddy can you grant me a wish? I randomly asked my father while having dinner. Yes, baby and what is that?- my affectionate father replied. "But dad, I wouldn't be getting it right away it'll be after graduating college, it's when I grow up."

(Present...)

I've met my friends just outside the ceremony hall for picture taking. It was a great memory I will treasure, seeing my friends smiling my dad and my family friends gather chatting about the success we all gain at this moment.

All you could here in this hallway were chats over here and there, it was an amazing day though. I was so busy with my friends as well as my daddy but after greeting the principal he take me out for lunch in our hotel.

In that room over looking the sea. He silently hand me a ticket and a card. I almost choked my steak I was eating, I looked at my father with gratefulness in my eyes as I picked it up. I hurriedly stand-up and run to his side and hug him so tightly that I was unaware of my own tears. My father just drop his fork and pat me in the head saying "I will allow this but remember what did I tell you on that day Hara, my precious baby". I know it very well that it is a heartbreaking decision he will make but my father is a man of reason and promise. I always and forever sympathize with my dad.

(10 years ago...)

What is it that you want my little Hara? I remember being cautious saying my wish. Then I came-up with an idea from the rumors spreading. "Uh..Uhm dad, I've heard that I am engage to someone-" saying this I saw the expression of my dad and it was hurt. But I continue on, "I don't mind since its my duty as your daughter and for helping thousands and hundreds of people that were relying to you." Tears almost left my eyes but I hold it in and continue. I felt weird that my father is quite as I was speaking but grateful at the same time because if he responds or comfort me I might cry. " Daddy, before those responsibilities unfold can I travel for fi.. five err no ... just three years and I'll be going twenty six at that time and I promise I'll be there for you at tha...at that time." I choke-up with my words but hoping he will gave-in.

We had a long pause and I was anxious waiting for his response then, he stands from his chair and walks towards the window I heard him exhale deeply then says " My young Hara, life is hard and I want to give you everything life has to offer but because daddy dreams so big that you are also caught into this cunning world." then he walks towards me and kneel in front of me. "Hara we don't know what the future has, but I just want you to know what ever my decision is. You have your own choice just like your mother." After saying those words he hug me and I felt tears from his eyes. At that moment I vow that I wouldn't leave my father alone.

(Present...)

I smiled, I wiped away my tears and said. Yes, I didn't forget what you said to me on that day dad. Our brief family bonding comes to an end after Mr. Po interrupted our lunch, I already understand that I am not the only one that needs my dad there are also other people. So, he smiled and said few words and hug me. As I was looking at my fathers back moving farther from me I felt sad for him for some reason so, I told myself as the door closed in front of me. I wouldn't forget what I vowed on that day.
