"Humans will only learn to appreciate what they lose." -Anonymous

🍁🍂🍁🍂

The ground covered with rain water is stained by fresh blood. The surface rippled as the raindrops fall continuously. The skies were very dark, the city is in a hassle. Where the accident happened, a long line of cars patiently waited for their turn to pass through. The traffic controlled by an officer. Because of the traffic, it took some time for the ambulance to arrive. Much to the victim's luck, there were no medical help. Despite being a doctor herself who saved countless lives, when she is in need, nobody is there to lend her a hand.

Everyone drives passed to watch the horrific scene with great sympathy, but no one volunteered to help. Judging by the blood she has lost, everybody assume that she must have died.

"SAKURAAAAAAAAAA!!!" A cry pierced through the traffic, it was so loud that the officer had to cover his ears. Anybody who heard it could have sworn that he who screamed must have broken his voice box.

A young man with jet black hair and pure black orbs came into view. He pushed the crowd and made his own way. He fell on his knees next to the lying figure, drenched in blood.

His breathing hitched and his eyes stung. Warmth spread across his cheeks, through his nose. Clear liquid start to form in his eyes as he helplessly stared at the lying figure on the ground.

Never once would he thought that the almighty Sasuke Uchiha will shed a tear for a girl, a young lady to be exact.

"I'm...sorry..." He choked on his words as he silently sobbed.

He couldn't raise a finger to hold her close to him because he do not want to risk worsening her already critical condition.

He knew she was dying, but he also believed that her will is strong and she will definitely live through this.

~~~~~

He impatiently waited outside the emergency room in the hospital. His body shook in fear of losing the only person he deeply love.

He was in so much pain that he could not open his mouth to speak.

He was in so much pain that he could not move.

He was in so much pain that he just could not do anything but sit there like a statue and pray.

The Sasuke Uchiha finally praying.

The high and mighty Sasuke Uchiha who believes in nothing but himself is finally praying for the love of his life.

I'm sorry.

I should have listened.

I should never have left you.

I should never have left at all.

I should never have listened to my good for nothing father.

No... It was my fault. I wanted power. The blame can't be put on him.

I should have listened to you when you said I should reach for my secret dream..

...to be a doctor.

I would have saved you.

But if I never left, you would never have been caught in this mess.

I'm sorry...

Please be okay..

Droplets once again dripped on the white tile floor. His once tear stained cheeks is once again wet with hot liquid from his eyes. His pale skin turned red around his nose and his eyes. His once perfect face now looks like a complete...

..pathetic and hopeless man.

The door to the emergency room opened.

He immediately stood up from his seat and rushed to the doctor who emerged from the door.

~~~~~

"I QUIT!" He slammed his palm on the huge round table.

Around the table sat all the head departments of his company.

The huge door of the meeting room slammed open to reveal his father. The ex-chairman to the Uchiha company.

"I will not allow you to quit." His voice boomed across the big room.

"Who are you to not allow me, ex-chairman?" Sasuke smirked with a wicked expression as he emphasised 'ex', putting his father in his place as the management of this company is no longer under his command.

The older Uchiha gritted his teeth and it seemed like he wanted to kill his son. The son whom he forced into taking over his position as the chairman.

"You are my son and this is once my company. I need an explanation to this. I am sure the committee board wants to know too. We have the right to." He calmly spoke, but his fury could be seen in his dark eyes.

"I want to become a doctor."

"WHAT?! I thought we have talked about this! I-"

"If it wasn't because of you, I wouldn't have been separated with Sakura and SHE WOULDN'T HAVE MET AN ACCIDENT AND-"

"HOW RUDE OF YOU TO TALK TO YOUR FATHER LIKE THIS?!" He roared.

The entire council looked at both of them, feeling the tension in the air and watched as the drama unfolds in front of their eyes.

"That girl's well being is none of my business. I could care less if she died from the accident. All I care about is-"

"How can you say that?! This is-" He fought back, but was interrupted.

"THIS IS NOT MY FAULT! Let me warn you again, do not ever interrupt my sentence, young man." Fugaku pointed an accusing finger to his son.

Sasuke's breathing became heavy as the room is covered with an awkward silence.

"Look, I don't care what you think, but this is my life and my life only. You may be my father, but this is my life to live and you have controlled me enough! You are no longer the chairman; therefore, you no longer have the right to voice out your unreasonable and selfish opinions."

He let go of his deep breath and stared at his father intently. Their gaze locked and fought their own battles which no one could see.

"Security!" Sasuke shouted and they immediately ran into the room. "Please bring this man outside of the building. He is interrupting my meeting."

"But sir-" One of them began.

"NOW!" He pointed at the door.

They quickly grabbed Fugaku and scurried outside.

"WHY YOU-" At that, the door closed and only muffled yells could be heard.

Sasuke Uchiha now the ex-chairman faced the people around the table.

"I now announce the new chairman to be..."

~~~~~

The youngest Uchiha now sat in his poorly lit room with scattered papers all around the table. Stacks of medical books piled up on his table which made a wall to block his face in despair.

"Sakura..." He whispered as he stared at his tear stained paper.

He quickly shook his head and placed his paper down.

"No. Sakura wouldn't want this. I must pass the test to be a qualified doctor. She will be proud of me." Nodding his head, he begin scribbling notes and studied about the human body along with the types of chemicals and drugs which will damage the human system or improve it.

If you were here, you will probably stay awake and help me through this. He thought sadly.

After a three years, Sasuke managed to pass his exams and he is now a trainee in the hospital. He isn't an official doctor yet, so he strictly cannot act on his own because it might cost a life or more. Anything can happen. Just when he is passing by a corridor, he caught a glimpse of pink hair.

Sakura?!

He rushed to where he last saw it and caught a figure with shoulder length pink hair. He grabbed her shoulder harshly and yanked her around to see her face.

"May I help you, Dr Uchiha?" A foreign young lady spoke as she gazed dreamily into Sasuke's mesmerising dark orbs.

She is not Sakura.. He sighed sadly and shook his head.

"M-Maybe we can have some tea later?" She asked, but he was already out of sight.

How silly of me that she would be here.. He chuckled softly to himself and ruffled his hair.

~~~~~

"Let's break up." The newly graduated Sasuke Uchiha spoke casually.

"H-Huh? But.. W-Why??" She spoke with tears dwelling  in her eyes, threatening to fall.

"I..will take over my father's company."

"Isn't your dream is to be a doctor? To save lives?!" At the point, tears flowed down her pale cheeks without control. "Are you forced by your father..?"

"No, he simply convinced me to which made me realise that having such dream is pathetic. Being a doctor will not bring me to be well-known and to be an influential man."

"You seek for power then?" Her unnatural pink eyebrows furrowed.

I nodded.

"That is stupid! For power you are willing to give up your dream?! Don't you want to make your mother proud?! She would be happy in heaven to watch you accomplish her dream! Don't you both share this secret dream together?!?" She slightly yelled.

"And.. What does this has to do with leaving me..." She whispered with a voice laced with pain.

"You will...just be a nuisance. I must marry a woman with name or the daughter of a strong and wealthy company."

She gasped and choked on her sob as she slapped the fresh graduate. She turned around and the tip of her hair brushed his lips.

~~~~~

It has been four years since that break up. Both of them have grown mature and they both know that their feelings never changed. Though, Sasuke still insists to forget his ex-lover and marry a woman who will make him more powerful. However, a small part of him wants to bring her into his arms again. As days pass without her cheery presence, that small part of him becomes stronger and the power he once craved for, he did not want it anymore because he knows that he will lose the power one day. Only one thing will stay by his side forever.

Love.

That is when his thoughts wandered to a certain pink haired lady.

He clearly knows that she still wants to get together, but she is hesitant because she could not forget the day where he dumped her. When he was certain he would get her after catching sight of her on the streets, it was too late.

CRASH!

~~~~~

Sasuke quietly sat beside a patient's bed. He watched as her peaceful face and her now long hair cascade down the bed. It has been seven years since that break up, three years since the accident and he still cannot get over her.

Sakura Haruno.

She has been in deep coma since then. He was brought into depression, but remembering her smile always brings his hopes up. He believes he will see her dazzling emerald orbs again. Definitely.

Suddenly, the hand which he is holding twitched a little. Hope filled his chest like fireworks and his lips formed a wide smile. His eyes sparkled and watered in tears of joy. He instantly punched the emergency button on the wall and being the impatient man he is, when it concerns Sakura only, he rushed out the door and called for the doctors.

His smile never left afterwards.
