Day 24: After Winter Comes Spring
***
***
Uchiha Sasuke has never known what spring felt like in his life. His childhood days were filled with happiness and brightness like summer. Later, he experienced fall when he struggled to gain his father’s and his beloved nii-san’s attention.
His years of loneliness and revenge was the long, harsh winter in his life. He spent most of his life in bitter cold it was basically a part of him now.
He saw a glimpse of spring when his teammates accepted him again after the war. Ever since, he yearned to fully experience it. During his road to redemption, it made him hopeful that one day, spring will indeed come to his life. But travelling alone was like the hazy days that came with the changing of the season – in which one’s uncertain if winter has indeed ended and if spring will ever come.
All uncertainty disappeared when Sakura became his wife, officially becoming Uchiha Sakura.
His heart warmed with the thought that he is not the last of the Uchiha any longer. Her love thawed the ice and snow and paved the way for everything to bloom once again. Her love was different from any kind of love he knew, and Sasuke seeks it every single day – like how the sunflower yearns for the sun.
Happiness filled their days together, and just when he thought nothing could get any better – it just did.
When Sakura told him she was pregnant , his mind went blank for the first time in his life. His wife… carrying another Uchiha in her womb… their child… a human being made from the love they have for each other…
If his heart could burst from overwhelming happiness it would.
Their beautiful baby girl came to the world just days after her mama’s own birthday – in spring. As he saw his wife and daughter, the tears flowed freely and he didn’t bother to wipe them away. Sasuke grinned so wide it almost hurts; his happiness overflowing for everyone to see. Sakura smiled with him and both gazed lovingly towards their daughter – their precious, beautiful Uchiha Sarada.
Spring has indeed come to Sasuke’s life. The harsh winter has ended after consuming him for so long. This time, he hoped that it will never end.
He would lie to himself if he says spring is not his favorite season. Seeing his family’s happy smiles – his own personification of spring – made him realize that winter was just a phase.
Sasuke promised to himself that he’ll do everything to keep his spring stay.
