The window of a big house was opened, allowing wind to come into the room. It was the master bedroom, decorated with expensive-looking furniture... there were two doors, one leaded to the bathroom, the other to a hallway that ended in stairs. In the middle of the room there was a big bed... that was covered with white sheets,and some pillows decorated it, on the top there were transparent curtains, that gave the feeling of some privacy. There was also a balcony... it's doors were open, and outside there was a young man staring at the beautiful dawn, the way the sun was hiding behind the city's buildings. He was deep in his thoughts, asking himself how it was possible... she forgave that boy, she fell in love again, but the answer was simple... all that was because of love. He hated him, he wanted to revenge all the pain he caused Sakura... but if she forgive him, maybe he had to forgive him too. She was happy, she was smiling again, she was loving again, because she letted go all the sorrow there was in her heart... so, he had to let go all that hate he felt for Eriol.

 

 

*6 Months Earlier

 

A chestnut haired girl was running as fast as she could, she had tears in her eyes. Wanting to escape from reality, Sakura was trying to get lost in the crowd. Tokyo was a real big city, she didn't wanted to be found. While she was running, Sakura asked herself `why?'.
Images were running through her head... images she wanted to erase. In her attempt to avoid people she got distracted and fell down.

”Are you okay miss?”

Sakura's eyes kept closed and she gave her hand to the stranger that wanted to help her get up.

”Hai.” answered Sakura, cleaning some dust from her back. “Thank you”, she turned around to look at the eyes of her rescuer. “Li... Li-kun?”
”Sakura...” a young boy with chestnut hair and amber eyes was standing in front of her. “It's something wrong? You've been crying.”
”Don't pay attention to it... it's just... the depression that sometimes come along when you are on your days.” Sakura looked at him. He was cute, he had a nice body, he was gentle and he had a sweet smile, she supposed many girls were attracted to him.
”But...” Syaoran looked at Sakura with concern.
”Really, don't care about it... it's nothing.” Sakura knew she was lying. She wanted to cry, she felt she needed to.
”Are you sure? Is there anything I can do for you to feel better?” asked the boy with sweetness in his voice.
Why not telling him the way she was feeling? He once heard her when she declared to Yukito, the feeling of not being loved by your special someone. “Can we go to a place where we can talk?” asked Sakura while she was cleaning the tears on her eyes.

Syaoran took Sakura to his office, that was ubicated on a large and huge building in downtown.

“We can talk with no interruptions here.” he took the pone that was in his desk and called the receptionist, “Hi there Hikari, I need you to do me a favor, please call the pacients I had to see today, tell them I had an emergency, that I'm out and I'll be returning tomorrow.”

Syaoran hunged up the phone. Sakura's cell phone started ringing, it was him, she didn't wanted to hear him, and she turned her phone off. Syaoran did the same.
”What is it that you wanna talk about?” asked Syaoran again with a soft voice.
”I never thought you would become a doctor, what happened with the Li clan?” asked Sakura trying to forget about the main subject, she wanted to relax before talking about it.
”Well, I told my mother that it was a great honor for me to take the responsability of the Li clan, but that wasn't what I really wanted... I suggested her to let me become a doctor. She didn't liked the idea, but I told her I would take care of the Li clan, as long as it didn't interfered with my job.” answered the boy. “But we are not here to talk about me... you wanted to talk about something.”

Sakura was sitted on a couch there was in Syaoran's office. (Syaoran had his office and a little room for checking-up on his patients next door. I can say it was part of the office, but it's only divided by a door.) She was facing the floor and tears started coming down her cheeks. “Today...I...” said Sakura with a breaking voice.
Syaoran pulled a chair and sat in front of Sakura. “What happened today?”
”Today... I got my heart broken. My... fianceé cheated on me.” after finishing the sentence Sakura couldn't hold it and started crying.
”Who? Who cheated on you? Who's your fianceé?” Syaoran asked desperately, looking at her crying, devastated, was hurting him. “Tell me, what happened, `cause I just don't get it.”
Sakura looked into Syaoran's eyes, took a deep breath, and started telling him what happened since he left 2 years ago.
”A year and a half ago, Eriol and I started dating... I don't know since when, but I fell in love with him. He was so kind, so sweet and mature. I was his companion in some journeys he made to other places that had relation with his job, he's a lawyer, and a good one. He was requested to participate in some cases by well-known companies. One day he asked me to marry him.”

Syaoran could feel how his heart was breaking, that word, marriage. Sakura, marrying another man. He was in love with her, but she never knew. He realized she was in love with Eriol, and decided to hide his feelings from her, 6 months before Sakura and Eriol started dating, he decided to return to Hong Kong to solve some problems there were in the Li clan, but specially, he wanted to stay away... because it was a living hell, looking at Sakura with another guy, loving someone else.

“After his proposal, we spent more time together. But a few weeks later I had to travel and he too. Being a famous designer's top model it's not easy... photo sessions that last 6 hours, shooting commercials, preparing for the next season.”said Sakura.
”So, you became a model.” Smiled Syaoran, he saw her in many magazines, it was the only way he could knew about her.

“Tomoyo studied design on Paris. I studied International Relations, but when she came back, she asked me if I wanted to be her top-model. I said yes, I wanted to help and maybe working with my best friend was the best thing could ever happened to me.” Said the girl with a little smile on her lips. “I think that modeling-stuff is what I do the best... I really like it. Whenever I'm modeling, I remember my mother.”

Sakura smiled once again but that smile didn't last too much, she once again looked sad, and kept telling Syaoran what happened. ”As I said, Eriol had many work, and when I decided to become a model, I also had to travel to other places. One day he called me and said he had to travel to New York for bussiness related to his job, he was going to stay there for 2 months. So... we decided for the wedding to be when things weren't so complicated. Eriol returned a week ago... I went to his office, but he told me he was really busy, that he would visit me. I waited and he never came, I thought he still had work to do... but when he couldn't see me, he used to call. Three days passed and there was no sign of him, not even a call, so I worried, and decided to go to his apartment to check upon him. He gave me the keys of his apartment for an emergency. So I opened the door... everything was quiet, I went to his room and... and... he was in bed with another girl. I called on his name, and when he realized I was in the room he was shocked... I was really confused and I decided to run and get lost. And then, you found me and now we are talking.”

Sakura started crying, Syaoran wrapped his arms arround her and told her to cry, to let her feelings show up. When he was holding her, Sakura felt the same way when he heard what happened with Yukito, he was again by her side, supporting her. Syaoran was a real good friend. In the other hand, he wanted to cry too... Sakura being unhappy, his beloved one crying, was really hurting him, he asked himself how could it be that someone could cheat on such a beautiful, sweet and kind girl.
”Syaoran. I don't want to see him... I don't wanna fall in love again. Love is such a cruel thing. Why? Why me? I promise I will never fall in love again. Never.” Said Sakura and tears kept falling down.
Syaoran felt discouraged, hearing her she didn't wanted to love again, he had no chance to be with her. But even if there was no hope, he wanted her to be happy, he was decided.... he was going to heal Sakura's heart, and show her love is one of the best feelings ever. Even though that meant she would fall in love with someone else.

“Everything was a lie, his feelings for me... the wedding plans, our dreams together, all was a lie. I don't want him to find me. I don't wanna see him. He promised he'd never hurt me...but he did. He did.” Sakura kept crying, kept telling Syaoran the way she feeled.

 

An hour later, Sakura was resting on the couch, Syaoran was staring at his window... thinking...

 

*__ Syaoran's POV__*

 

`I can't believe it, that moron cheated on her. She's so beautiful, so sweet, gentle... I don't get it. How somebody having a girl liker her... could even think of another woman. Eriol is so stupid, he had what I have always wanted.' Syaoran looked at Sakura resting, he sitted next to her trying not waking her up, and stared at her. `You're so beautiful... you are hurted now, but maybe that happened because he was no the right person for you. I'm sure you'll find the one that will love you the most, the one that will take care of you... the one that will make his best for you to be happy.'

He passed his hand through her silky hair that barely touched her elbow. He was deeply in love with her, he wanted her to be his... he wanted to be that man that will love her more than anything. But would Sakura let her be that man?
