“ OKAY THIS TIME THE 100 M INTER-SCHA NATIONAL FREESTYLE SWIMMING MATCH WILL BE STARTING SOON, AT NUMBER 1 THERE IS JIRO, AT NUMBER 2 THERE IS KURO, THIRD NAOKI, FOURTH ROKA, THIRD NAOKI, FIFTH IS THE MOST SURPRISING PERSON DURING THIS YEAR BECAUSE IT ALWAYS BREAKS THE RECORD THAT IS HIRO, FIFTH THERE IS SANO, SIXTH SATORU AND AGREES IS SUNO. “
The participants of inter-School matches have started to stand on their respective footings, they have also used all the attributes in swimming caps and swimming glasses. Within 30 seconds they will begin to slide into the pool at a distance of 100 m. And whoever is the fastest, he's the winner.
Participants from various prefectures of Japan and the remaining only 7, this match will determine the winner from the national level. The 7 participants are already getting ready in a position to slide.
The sound of gunfire rang, the participants of the race have been sliding to do the freestyle. Likewise with Haru, he swam with his chest facing the surface of the water. The two arms are alternately moved far forward in a pedaling motion.
While both legs alternately “ Canned “ up and down up and down. The position of the face facing the water surface, breathing is done when the arms are moved out of the water, when the body becomes tilted and the head turns to the right or left side.
And while doing the reverse, Hiro turned his head and body downwards as he approached the pool wall. After successfully turning the direction, he immediately repositioned his body and made a faster and nimble movement.
Because of Hiro's speed, he was at number 1 against Kuro who was the champion last year. And at full speed Hiro started flapping his legs faster, until he finally touched the pool wall the first time in the national championship men's freestyle swimming 100 meters.
Even better, Hiro broke the record with a time of 02 minutes 02 seconds. He successfully claimed the gold medal and became part of High School freestyle swimming history.
The entire crowd was screaming in excitement because of Hiro's victory, as well as with him. He kicked the pool water because of his happiness, for 3 years he trained hard and finally his struggle was not in vain.
...
On the other hand, Miki's birthday is held at his house and many friends are coming. But, Miki could not stop smiling when she heard Hiro's victory on television.
It had been 1 year and Hiro was fine, it was the happiest thing after hearing the news on television. The necklace given by Hiro is still used until now, “ You are fine, I am grateful “ mumbled Miki holding a necklace with the initials “ H “
Miki looks around her house which is still crowded by people and they do not realize that Miki is coming out secretly, but there is one person who realizes it.
It was Kenzi.
“ Where are you going? “ tanyanya approached Miki. “ Get out looking for a little wind. “ replied Miki who brought her bike out of her house.
“ I'm with. “ said Kenzi.
“ No, I need time alone, sorry. “ Miki bows her bike at night filled with cold air.
He took his bike to Rainbow Bridge, where he had his last meeting with Hiro. Miki got off her bike and looked at the beautiful Tokyo ceiling just like the Tokyo skyline when she was in Tokyo sky tree.
“ AAAAAAAAAAAA “ Miki screams loudly.
During these 1 year, he held back his longing with Hiro and also waited for Hiro's news.
However, he only found out today. It was through television, though Miki was relieved.
“ Miki? “ call a very familiar voice in his ear.
He is Takahashi Hiro, Miki's first love.
Miki's widened eyes were surprised to see Hiro standing before her at the moment, he could not speak anything, his lips clenched soundlessly. The face, height and voice that Miki so longed for that she could not speak at all.
“ I expected you would be here. “ said Hiro approached Miki. But because of Miki's reflexes that suddenly rewinded her steps away from Hiro.
“ Sorry, what are you here for? “ cold Miki.
“ Happy birthday. “ Hiro took out a gold medal and gave it to Miki. “ It's a gift for you. “
“ What does it mean? This is for you alone, after all this is your struggle for what did you give this to me? “
“ No, it's just that I want to give this medal to you. “
Although Miki's longing feeling still feels very painful especially during her sudden meeting with Hiro, somehow her feelings feel very sad and want to cry.
Miki's eyes were already glazed over, she couldn't bear to see Hiro any longer. “ Sorry, it seems like the sudden meeting made me feel uncomfortable. Next time let's meet in an even better way. “ Miki said as she stepped her legs, but her arm was held back by Hiro who held her back. “ Meet in a better way how does that mean? “ ask Hiro.
“ Sorry. “ Miki releases Hiro's hand slowly from his arm. “ I mean we can meet by telling each other, not suddenly like this. “
“ Then, I go first. “ Miki continued to wiggle her bike back.
This sudden meeting cannot be denied by Miki that he felt happy to meet Hiro directly, but the feeling of disappointment when 1 year earlier also felt in Miki's heart.
He should be happy and ask about Hiro's news, not away from Hiro. Miki was crying all the way home, while Hiro was staring at Miki's back which was getting further and further away from his sight.
.......
TENG-NENG-TENG-TENG
Class 2-1, Seido High School.
His height is not much different from before, his hair is still short like a man. He didn't want to lengthen it though because it was very troublesome for him, but Riyo and Lim always asked Miki to lengthen her hair.
In the 2nd class this time, he sat in the 1st row on the left which means close to the window. This kind of seat was a very pleasant place for Miki because he felt calm when close to the window.
“ Again daydreaming, you why the hell? “ worried Kenzi who is sitting right in front of him.
“ No, just bored. “ Miki propped up her chin and her eyes looked out the window.
Various students who are playing basketball, football and other things that they think are very fun. Kenzi should have been on the court because almost every day Kenzi always played basketball on the court while at rest, it's just that this time because of Miki's gloomy face he undoes his intention to play basketball.
Kenzi brought his face closer to Miki's, “ Why don't you lengthen your hair anyway? If your hair is long maybe I will like. “ gods.
“ Tch. “ hiss Miki pushes Kenzi's face away from her.
Then, he accidentally saw a man who was looking at Miki from the field. His eyes were not stopping looking at Miki and as Miki turned her head towards him, he made a sweet smile to Miki.
“ You know him? “ asked Miki to Kenzi while referring to the man.
“ Oh him, Kimura Kitaro, younger brother and junior in basketball. You don't know? It seems that time I saw you with him. “
“ And also, every exercise he always pays attention to you. “ explained Kenzi.
“ No, I don't know him. “
“ You sure? “ Kenzi reassure. Miki nodded her head, she did not know Kitaro at all.
“ Miki! “ call Rei from outside direction.
Yes, Rei and Miki are no longer in class.
“ Today want a meeting, want to come? “ Rei approached Miki without caring about Kenzi who was talking to Miki. “ Looks like I'm coming. “ Miki replied.
“ By the way you've had lunch? Want to eat together? “ invite Rei.
“ Not yet, just wanted. “
“ If so, eat together. “ Rei picked up the bench and sat down next to Miki. Kenzi who felt uncomfortable immediately got out of the chair and out of the classroom.
Sunday, 5:00 a.m
Hari Minggu adalah hari untuk beristirahat, bermain atau mengerjakan hal yang penting selain bersekolah. Begitu juga dengan Miki, setiap hari Minggu ia selalu lari pagi bersama Kenzi.
Because on Sunday Miki could not stay home alone, his body asked him to move constantly. And one more thing, soon the Inter-high will start, Miki can not just sit still. He has to train hard more than last year, because Seido's team lost in the Final.
To be precise, Seido High School lost against Inuyashi High School and in Inuyashi members there is Miki's only rival. She is the ace of number 1 daughter Hirai Akemi, only Akemi is the only opponent who can be balanced with Miki.
Not only balanced, even Akemi can be more powerful than Miki. Akemi has no weaknesses at all, she is the captain of Inuyashi High School and Inuyashi's Ace team. To defeat him is not only determination needed, but he needs hard training every day without complaining.
Miki's thoughts about last year's defeat made her immediately change her clothes and leave the house for a morning run.
“ Cold. “ complained Kenzi who was already standing in front of Miki's house.
“ Have you arrived? “ asked Miki while closing the fence of her house.
“ Of course, you don't see? “ replied Kenzi in a shitty tone.
“ Come, run. “ take Miki who started running in the morning around her house, school and other streets.
It had been more than 2 hours Kenzi and Miki continued to run non-stop, until finally stopping in the middle of the bridge crossing the road. They see cars, motorcycles, buses and other vehicles from above.
The audible noise made Miki smile recalling the memories of the previous 1 year, as she continued to cry incessantly and that was when Kenzi came. His only precious friend is to him, and Miki has promised himself that whatever it is he will not let go of Kenzi.
“ Thank you, for making my days for 17 years fun. “ said soft Miki who made Kenzi's cheeks flushed instantly.
“ Why suddenly talk like that? After all, we were really friends when we were 5 years old. “ Kenzi cried.
“ Still I thank you for having a friend like you. “ Miki turned her head towards Kenzi and made a beautiful smile arch to gaze at.
“ Tii.daakk..peerr.lluu.mengu..pronounce.teri..maa.kaasih “ nervous Kenzi for seeing Miki's smile.
However, Miki's eyes widened looking at a man who was behind Kenzi, their eyes meeting each other. A strange Kenzi with a different Miki face, immediately turned his body to look at someone who was being stared at by Miki.
And he, none other than Takahashi Hiro.
