Devastated...

Once upon a time, on this chaotic world, walked a boy, Shiri...
Unknown of his origin, unknown to anyone....
As he walked, he realised something....
He was alone...
And was kinda useless also...
Then standing in front of him, stood a girl....
A girl who was the only one that noticed his existence in this chaos and darkness...
Her name was Sakura...
"Come" she said, stretching out her hand in the direction of the boy...
"Let me bring you to a place. A place that only we two share and create memories that only the two of us will remember eternally."
Before he could react, the girl pulled him to a rooftop. Situated on a really high building...
There, she taught him how to draw, talk and many other things that the boy never knew before...
This continued for a long long time...
Soon sparks flew between them and they fell in love...
Although a year later, Sakura had to move back to Japan, Shiri kept in touch with her...
Everytime he goes up to the rooftop of some building, he is reminded of the memories...
Happy memories...
Intimate memories...
Memories of Sakura...
Shiri went on, pursuing his passion for the arts...
Music, drawing...
He went on strong as he knew that whatever he does, she would be there to support him...
Until recently...
As he was on his way home from a day of lessons...
He received a phonecall...
The caller identified herself as Sakura's mother..
Slowly and painfully...
She broke the news of Sakura's death to Shiri...
And that in her will, she wanted to hand some stuff to him...
As the painful truth seeps into Shiri's mind, countless thoughts of what to do next overflowed his mind...
He would have gone to commit suicide..
Or he could just sink back into the darkness and be forgotten...
However by doing so, Sakura would be disappointed...
Her wish for him was to be forever happy...
Even until now, Shiri is forcing a smile on his face...
Just that no one...
No one will ever detect that tinge of sorrow and pain in his heart...
"Until when?" You may ask...
Until the end of Shiri...

Note: The names arent the real ones, but the story is true...
