Novel & Cerita Cherry Blossoms After Winter: Volume 1

hanging suspended, like a ripe fruit waiting to be plucked from the tree of knowledge. The cherry tree's white blooms seem to glow with an ethereal light, as if infused with the essence of the season. Stephen's gaze lingers on the blossoms, their delicate beauty a poignant reminder of life's transience. "This year, I sit here, surrounded by the same beauty," he muses, his thoughts wandering to the passage of time. "Will I be here next year, to witness the cherry tree's splendor once more? Or will I be nothing more than a memory, a name etched on one of these stones, lost to the ages?"

I felt like it was cooling the anger and hatred simmering in my heart, putting a cool touch to it. "After the end of cold winter, there is a spring festival with cherry blossom in full bloom. You will like that very much." I heard him say in a small voice. He knew I was going to leave in some days and it's barely been the start of winter; spring wasn't until next year. But I didn't correct him. Because we both maybe wanted to forget about the reality for a moment and live in this dream, until daybreak comes and our eyes open.

Vivian sat alone in the shadowed corner of the bar, watching strangers drift beneath the amber glow of the lights. She could not believe she had actually fallen for a rumor. “The real reason the Hayes and Carter families postponed the wedding? Sebastian’s ex was kidnapped. He’d rather call off the marriage than leave her to die.” One reckless sentence was all it took for her to book the first flight to Harbor City. Sebastian was the untouchable heir everyone admired—a fixture on the covers of financial magazines and the polished businessman delivering keynote speeches at charity galas.

" Monica, who was on her side, was wondering whether this girl told him to buy all Shiro-san's books which made him speechless, but he had to admit that this girl was very cute, especially those clear eyes that were full of excitement when she explained all the books which were written by Shiro-san.

Yet not long after she had left, the two of them had ended up like this. However, this no longer had anything to do with Laura, as she now had her own matters to attend to. She had pushed open the wooden window, watered the few potted plants outside, then set down the watering can and lay back on the recliner, gazing at the school surrounded by mountains. It was the summer holidays, and only a few teachers had remained in the small school. Laura had been one of them. The afternoon sunlight had made people drowsy, causing her to drift back into memories of the past.

This had once been the place where our love first took root, but time had passed, and so many things had faded that I could barely remember them anymore. Following June's final wishes, I found a grove of poplar trees and erected a nameless gravestone for her there. Back when we first arrived in the desert, I remembered June making a vow. She said she would one day cover this barren land with greenery and life. And this grove of poplars had been planted by our own hands. As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but green.

"Alder," she said. He looked at her. She looked at him. "Yes," he said. She breathed. He put his arm around her. She leaned into it. The second January morning came fully in over the ridge, and the territory breathed, and the pack was alive around them, and outside the east garden had its winter beds and the rose was under snow and the clematis on the opposite wall was waiting for spring. Everything was waiting for spring. Everything would arrive at

The cherry trees along the main road beginning to bloom. The market vendors opening their awnings earlier in the morning.

She aksed him who was had lost all his words. "Why I am here? Why I am here? Oh yeah, I came to take you to that bosom.... No, no ...I am not talking about your bosom.... It's blossom....
