It’s my story. Hey…! My name is Kao and I am looking for true love. As we know that spring is the season of love. There are many festivals in spring that people celebrate all over the world. But the most romantic spring festival is “Hanami” or “Blooming Of Cherry Blossom”. I didn't think in my dreams that this cherry blossom my search for true love will end. 


...Three Weeks Later...


In the morning the alarm rang. Kao woke up and stopped the alarm as he stretched in his bed. Then he got up from his bed and went to take shower. Then he made his breakfast and went to his university. Kao thinks: “It’s my first day of university. I hope everything is going well”. Then he entered his university. And take a few steps to reach his classroom. He was about to enter his classroom. He stumbled with someone’s feet and fell on the floor.

“Whose feet is this..?” Kao said in anger.

“Hey…! You can’t see?” that guy said.

Kao stood up and angrily glared at that guy, ignored him and went to the classroom. When he sat on the desk another guy came from his back and went towards that guy and said: “Hey..! Phupha why are you standing here? the professor is about to come”.

“Nothing…! Sam: I just met someone irritating. Let’s go!” Phupha said.

They both came into the classroom and took their seats. 

“Hey..! I’m Sandee, who are you?” the girl who sat beside Kao said.

“Hi..! Sandee I’m Kao nice to meet you..” Kao said.

“Why are you looking at Phupha..?” Sandee said.

“Nothing, he is just a jerk because of him my whole day is going to be worse,” Kao said.

“Hahaha…! You know what he is the most popular guy in uni. He’s rude, genius, heartthrob, smart, visual and famous among girls. The one with whom he came to the classroom is his humble friend Sam. He is the brain of the group means he’s super smart. The one who talks to the girl is Tada. He is the flirt of the group. And the one who looks like a God is Fiat. he is the visual God of uni. And most popular among all university’s student. But Phupha is the leader of a group with all qualities…” Sandee said with heart eyes.

“Wo… wo… wo… Are you his fan or what? I didn’t want to know about him, who is he? And how popular he is?” Kao said with an annoying face.

Professor came to the class and started his lecture. After class Kao went to the cafeteria and ordered Americano and took a seat. When he explored the cafeteria with his eyes, the door opened and he saw the bracelet while sunshine highlighted that bracelet. He was shocked that the bracelet is the same as that bracelet whose owner he is searching for the whole year. The flashback clicked his mind. 

...The Flashback...

Before the year It’s time for the cherry blossom festival. He goes to a nearby park where the festival is held. Where cherry blossoms fall from trees with the flow of wind. Kao stands below a tree and enjoys this moment. Then suddenly a ball is about to hit his head. He closed his eyes of fear and suddenly someone jumped towards him and placed his arm in front of his head. Kao slightly opened his eyes and saw that bracelet. He didn't see his face because when he fully opened his eyes that guy went away. On that day he was searching for this bracelet owner because It was the first time his heart beat so fast. 

...End Of Flashback…

He was so happy to see that bracelet but after a moment he was in shock because that person was Phupha. Phupha came in and saw Kao their eyes meet each other and after seeing in his eyes Kao was panicked and he looked away. Phupha feels strange. Sam orders for the whole group and they take their seat. The whole time Phupha stared at Kao and tried to remember something. On the next day Kao went to that park where he met Phupha for the first time for a jog. When he jogged he saw that a guy was about to faint. He hurried to him and grabbed him. Kao was shocked to see that the guy was Phupha. He took him to the hospital and waited outside the ward. Doctor came out and said: “Everything is normal, he just didn’t sleep all night that’s why he faint”. Kao said: “Thank you doctor..”, then the doctor left. After a minute Phupha woke up and said: “Where am I? What happened to me?”.

“Everything is fine. You just faint in the park. Luckily I saw you and took you to the hospital” Kao said.

“Are you spying on me? How come you reached where I was about to faint?” Phupha said.

“What…? Am I looking like that guy to you who is spying on you? I went to that park because It’s my favorite park” Kao sighed and said.

“Ah..! fine. I trust you because you save me” Phupha smirked towards Kao and said.

Then Phupha’s friends came and Kao saw Phupha with an annoying face and left. Phupha smiled. His friend Sam said: “What’s with that smile huh..! Don’t tell me you’re in love” they all smiled and started teasing Phupha. Now he is remembered that Kao is that he saved a year ago. He starts to tease Kao everyday and all the time he is beside him. Before a day when the cherry blossom festival was held he said to Kao to meet him at that park. On the festival day Kao was happy and assumed this meeting to be a date. He is excited. When he arrived at the park and found Phupha his heart was beating fast. 

“Kao… come here!” he flew his hand in the air and said.

Kao got to him right away. The two stood in front of each other. They both looked in each other’s eyes and breathed heavily. They didn’t understand how to start a conversation?. Meanwhile again a ball came to hit Kao and Phupha pushed Kao into the tree and placed his arm on the other side of the tree. They stand too close to each other. “Remember our first meeting..” Phupha slowly closed his face to Kao’s face and said, Kao isn’t able to speak anything because Phupha’s face is too close to his face.

“Why don’t you answer my question?” Phupha says and gets closer to Kao. He comes so close. It seems that he is about to kiss Kao. then Phupha moved his lips closer to Kao. “Phu… Phupha.. Wh… What are you doin..!” before that Kao would say something. Phupha kissed him on the lips. He kissed for a while and said: “I’m sorry… but I shouldn't stop myself anymore. I LOVE YOU KAO from that day when we first met in this same park and same tree”. Kao is in shock and thinks “he remembers me”. Tears come into his eyes and he says: “I LOVE YOU TOO”. Phupha wipes Kao’s tears and kisses him. When they kiss, cherry blossoms start to fall from trees and make moments beautiful. And this spring in the cherry blossom festival they find their true love and live happily together.  

...The end...
