The park was accented with creamy vanilla and soft, almond-like aromas of the pink cherry blossoms, making earthlings aware that that the spring had arrived again. 9:20 AM, Sunny Day Sharlene was already 19 years. On this beautiful sunny day, a sense of happiness filled her body. Her sixth sense was sensing something good. She felt more energetic than usual days. Her high school life had ended and she was having a holiday before starting her university life. As usual, Sharlene was searching the web for a good rom-com manga.

The moon was so gorgeous that she lost herself in its beauty as she moved forward, not realising that she had already passed behind the clubhouse. She snapped out of her moment and glanced around. The scenery was astounding. She stood with her back to the cherry blossoms. The moon shone brightly in the sky, and the ground was adorned with colorful fallen flowers.

I'd barely slept a wink before my sister came barging in, telling me we were going to be late. Leaving the lights on, as well as my door wide open I sighed, dragging myself out of bed and towards the bathroom. I got showered and changed, tying my hair up in a ribbon and heading out to the driveway with Acacia, we lived in a relatively small house near the packhouse.

When I first saw the package, I was a little filled with disappointment because what I desired was an adventure as my gift. I wanted more than anything to go to the celebration of Hanami tomorrow. It was a celebration that the main village threw every year for all to attend to watch the cherry blossoms bloom. We saw it as a time of renewal and a reminder to enjoy the fleeting nature of life.

127. The Goodbye (last chapter) Eight months later, Under the cool shadow of blooming cherry blossom trees, Aura sat on a mat as she tossed grapes in her mouth. She enjoyed the burbling of shimmery water in the nearby pond.

The following winter afternoon was radiant with the light glaze of the sun glimmering across the open fields, as a chilly breeze flew past an open window, bringing in a few scattered petals of cherry blossoms.

I clenched my hands tighter as the pain in my palm seared. … I had no idea how long we walked for. The sun seemed to have climbed to its peak. I was finally allowed to remove the blindfold. Before me stretched a winding, narrow path that ended in a bottomless cave. Beside it stood a towering, ancient tree. Its scent of osmanthus drifted even from afar.

The distant sound of Christmas bells rang out with a bong. Immediately after, fireworks exploded across the sky outside the window, illuminating the pitch-black night with red, green, and gold colors. Faint cheers could be heard in the distance. Midnight came, and the door to the private room remained tightly shut. Nobody pushed the door open and came in, nor did anyone get down on their knees. The smile froze on Dad's face.
