Likewise with the story of Miki, do not link again the story of Anna and Lim with this story. This story is different and this is the story of a 14-year-old girl named Edward Miki.
..........
Some people love winter, and some people just don't like this winter at all. Some people love winter because they are waiting for the coming snow, snow is a symbol of romance for many people.
Not for Miki, he didn't like winter at all. Moreover, many memories in the winter made her hate this season, and Anna also thought the same as Miki.
The snowfall down Miki's cheek that was walking in Tokyo, Tokyo was no different than it was 14 years earlier. The density of people living in Tokyo, because some sources of employment are in Tokyo, the capital of Japan.
Miki is 14 years old and sits in the 2nd grade of Junior High School or Junior High School. You guys know Lim? Surely know it's not. In the previous story, he really liked basketball, right? And that favor goes down to Miki. He also loves basketball, and he likes his father. Even his joy can beat anyone, and Miki's love of basketball is more than anyone.
However, Miki's second-year winter basketball game in Junior High was a mess, a team that wasn't serious about playing and members that had absolutely no intention of winning.
Except for Miki, yes he has strong ambitions for the champions.
When Miki talks to members of his basketball team, they always ignore Miki assuming that he is not there. It hurt Miki a little bit, but because of Miki's strong desire to continue playing he continued with the team members and did not care what they talked about him.
Until finally the limit of patience Miki has run out during the last game of this winter and the struggle for champion 1. When the match was about to start, none of the members came. Only one person, Miki, and finally Kuzuryu's team, is disqualified.
Then, Miki walked out of the match stadium feeling disappointed, the team members came casually while laughing out loud. They told Miki that our team will not win against the flagship school that has always been champion 1, and to be champion 2 alone is very lucky.
This time their words had really gone too far, Miki came out with a splash of tears sticking out of her cheek. He walked over the bridge crossing the road with a downcast look, all his hopes having been dashed in an instant.
Christmas songs have been heard along the way, Miki's body is getting weaker because of the painful words of his team members. This winter alone he still wears the shirt of Kuzuryu Junior High School team.
All the people who were walking beside Miki watched him with a look of confusion, but Miki did not care about it he just kept walking until his feet stopped by the river near his house.
The air was getting colder and snow was constantly falling on Miki's head. His body shivered in the cold, he was no longer strong enough to walk any further.
“ Aaaa... “ murmured Miki coldly hugged her knees by the river. “ Father, Mother... ‘
“ Wear this. “ say a slightly heavy voice from in front of Miki while throwing a black jacket that says Kitasumiyoshi Junior High School, he raised his head slowly to see a person who gave his jacket to Miki.
Miki's eyes widened, looking at a tall man, slightly narrowed eyes, the same white skin as Miki and the sweet smile plastered on her face.
This was Miki's second meeting with the man.
“ you.... “ said Miki stuck when Kenzi Ken called Miki “ MIKI!!!! “
Kenzi Ken or Ken Kenzi is Miki's best friend and little friend, Kenzi is also the son of Okumura and Kirei who are good friends of both Miki's parents.
The call from Kenzi was only Miki ignored, her eyes unable to turn away from the others. And the most important thing right now is Miki's second meeting with the man.
5 years earlier..
They walk around New York City at night, New York City is very crowded with a variety of people and the many Santa Claus on the side of the road that gives a lot of free gifts.
Miki was amazed to see one of Santa Claus who was singing a Christmas song, he pulled Lim's hand up in front of the Santa Claus. Santa Claus continues to sing in a very beautiful voice, various children aged 2-10 years continue to arrive.
About 5 minutes later, Santa Claus stopped singing and began handing out gifts to the children watching him. Miki and Riyo get a present from Santa Claus.
“ Thank you, Mr Santa “ said Miki with a happy face, Santa Claus stroked his head slowly and replied “ You’re welcome. “
“ Let’s go “ invite Anna to Miki and Lim. Lim immediately pulled back Miki's hand and started to move away from the crowd again.
“ Dad, I got a present! “ said Miki while lifting a gift from Santa to Lim. “ Can I open it? “
“ Sure “ reply Lim. Miki opened the gift slowly while sitting on a chair of Children’s Playgrounds or children's Playgrounds.
It didn't take long, Miki had already opened the gift. A very beautiful red scarf and there is a paper that says “ Marry Christmas, I hope you like my gift “
“ Wow “ amazed Lim and Anna together. Usually the gift Santa gives on the street is nothing more than a glove, handkerchief, pencil, book or other small things.
While Miki gets a very charming scarf gift. Then, Anna opens the gift given to Riyo and the gift is just a big glove that will not fit in Riyo's hand.
“ This is for me! “ Miki said while taking the gloves off Anna's hand. “ Hey it’s your brother’s mine “ said Anna who wants to take back Riyo's gloves.
But Miki already ran away not wanting Anna to get it. “ Catch me if you can “ Ledek Miki while running until not overtaken by Anna.
As it continued to run non-stop, it accidentally came to an empty house that was very quiet and dark. Memories of childhood haunt him again, making it difficult to move and breathe, his head feels very heavy because it remembers memories that he does not want to remember.
His breath felt very tight, he dropped the gloves and scarf given by Santa Claus earlier. Her chest was very painful, “ Aa. “ ringis Miki was in pain, her limp body made her fall.
A face that he wanted to forget began to return again, his sobbing did not stop. Until a boy comes up to him and hugs Miki “ All will be fine “ he said using Japanese.
The boy with white skin, slightly squinty eyes, a sharp nose and a body that looks very cold. The man was wearing a very thin shirt, as Miki cried in his arms he felt the boy's cold body.
For hours the white man continued to be beside Miki, waiting for Miki until his parents came holding Miki's frightened fingers, the cold floor and the frightening sounds of birds.
And finally, after 3 hours of waiting. Lim came to see Miki in an empty house with a worried face, and Miki was seen with an unknown boy.
Miki who saw Lim came immediately ran to hug his father while shouting “ Daddy!!! “
“ Where are you? Dad's worried! “ exclaimed Lim bowed his body as high as Miki and held Miki's face in worry. “ Mother where? “ ask Miki.
“ He's at the police station, I'm very worried about you. So next time, don't run around recklessly okay? “ Lim's advice that made Miki nod her head understood.
When Lim tried to pull Miki out, Miki asked permission to see the boy back because Miki was not scared. He walked up to the white boy who was still sitting behind him.
“ Wear this. “ Miki put a scarf on her neck and gloves on to the man. “ Thank you, may we meet again. “ said Miki with a smile and a wave of hands while leaving her.
“ Until we meet again. “ said the man.
And that was the first meeting and first love of Miki at the age of 9 years.
