Chapter 6
"Sasuke, what are you saying?" She asked feeling concerned.
"Nothing, just talking to myself".
"I'm here if you want to talk you know".
He smiled weakly at her but didn't tell her, "Its okay Sakiko I'm fine".
She nods her head but not believing him. During sport activities, they Sasuke and Sakiko moves round the school.
"Hey Sasuke, why were you crying in the cla.s.s a while ago?".
"Nothing Sakiko, had something in my eyes" he said looking away from her.
"You are a terrible liar you know right? Don't tell me nothing Sasuke, I knew you we're angry and worried earlier on. So don't lie to me".
He didn't say anything, he just stared at her.
"Fine, I'll leave" she turns her back to leave and he holds her hand. She stopped and turned her head to him. "Now are you ready to talk?" She asked him still not ready to turn.
He sighs, "Reverend
"Where did that come from all of a sudden?".
"Just promise me Sakiko".
"Okay but i can't really promise. I don't know".
"Then no need to tell you".
Her curiosity got the better of her, "Okay I promise".
"Good, he told me that... " he sighs, then continues, "He told me that my mum just died".
"Wha... " she looks at him with her mouth open wide, he moves closer to her and covers her mouth with his hand. He turns his head around checking if anyone heard him, then he felt a liquid flow on his hand now covering her mouth, only to turn and see her crying.
"Stop crying Love. Please".
"Sasuke I'm so sorry" she speaks with his hand half covering her mouth, "Honey, gosh... I'm sorry" she said while the tears flow freely down her face and unto his hand.
"Should I remove my hand?" He asked her.
"No".
"Then what should I do Love?".
"Catch me" the next thing he knows she fainted and he quickly catch her in the before her body hits the ground. Students rush to the scene and starts fanning her, a guy comes and pours some water on her.
In the nurse's office, there she lay on the bed with Sasuke watching her. The Reverend Father came in.
"What happened Sasuke?".
"I don't really know perhaps the shock... ".
"What shock" he asked cutting Sasuke short.
"All I know is that I told her why I shouted in cla.s.s, which is my mum's death, later she fainted".
"You're sure?" he asked again.
"Yes sir, I am".
She wakes up, "Wow, she's awake. How are you feeling Sakiko? I'm sorry... " she cuts him short.
"Don't be. I'm the one who should be sorry. I'm sorry for fainting on you like that. Good afternoon Reverend Father. I didn't mean... "
"To faint right? Rest well, it's all right, at close of school I'll take you home" he spoke cutting her short.
"No sir, thank you. I can walk myself home. See I can stand" she tries to get up but feels a sharp pain in her head and fell down.
"Please sir I'll go with you" Sasuke starts laughing at her, "What are you laughing at, help me up" she queried him.
"All right, this means I'll follow you home".
"Whatever" he a.s.sist her and helps her sit on the bed.
"Sasuke, take care of her since you would resume cla.s.ses fully on monday".
"Yes sir".
He hands him some money, "Here buy whatever she wants for her. Bye see you when we close" he said and left.
"Hmm, enjoyment".
"Shut up Sasuke" she hits him lightly with a smile on her face.
