SULIVANS

Epilogues

Rere sped up his pace as soon as he saw the yellow rope plastered before his eyes.

A few more steps and his training over these few months will pay off.

His confidence increased when he saw no opponent running ahead of him.

Rere bit his lower lip, preparing to straighten his back to grab the yellow rope right in front of his eyes.

But before touching his stomach, the rope first touched another stomach.

Disappointment arises because he did not bring home the gold medal and show it to Rara.

But once he saw the figure plastered on the big screen hanging in the middle of the field, his gloomy face returned cheerful.

Immediately put his legs back to chase and hug the winner who was running slowly spread his hands.

Enjoying sensations that have not been felt for a long time.

"Finally... The final was sweetly capped by the return of champion kitaaa!!"

The screen magnified the face of the first champion who looked teary before his body was almost squawked because of an opponent who hugged him while jumping.

"SWEET ADISAA..!!"

The cheers of the crowd echoed throughout the walls of the stadium.

Including Sena's father and mother who stood up from her chair while swinging her long balloon into the air.

The father even grabbed the cloth banner he was holding and turned it quickly in the air while riding on the bench.

Plus the excitement of the cheers of Rio and Doki behind him who each stood flanking the end of the large banner and stretching it as high as possible.

Their amateur handmade cloth banners wobbled following the direction of the buffer.

They exclaimed loudly celebrating the epic victory of Sena who raced Rere in his final seconds towards the finish line.

In contrast to Tera who hardened her crying voice.

Making several pairs of eyes around them point at him.

People would think he was a supporter of the champion three if only they did not see a large cardboard banner containing a photo of Sena who was held tightly.

"Udah woi, shy to know!"

Rio's elbow on his chest made him try to regulate his crying voice, then continue it again in a slower voice.

Sena hugged Rere while jumping in delight, then waved her hand at the neon green t-shirt society that was in the third row in the south stand.

His association of supporters consisted of his parents and the sulivans.

After a long time of not running, he was very happy to be able to feel a fast racing heartbeat and breath hunting him.

What his body recognizes as a freedom signal.

The difficulties of the last nine months melted into tears that came out wetting his eyeballs.

Can't believe I'm gonna feel this victory again.

As well as solidify his dream to keep running in this path while his knees are still strong to regulate the legs.

This final also closed the Provincial Tournament held by the governor for his 40th birthday.

This major tournament is covered directly by local and national television media.

Making Sena's crying face plastered on all television stations that aired it.

After a series of closing events in the form of gift giving and the appearance of one of the singers, Sena came out of the stadium with a lot of flowers.

The mother who was standing in the stands gestured for her to wait for them behind the building.

Today they will celebrate their comeback by eating together.

Her father and mother invited Doki, Rio, and Tera to join.

They plan to take her to an all you can eat restaurant if she wins and an oriental noodle restaurant if she loses.

Make his motivation burn to eat roast meat that has not entered the hull for a long time.

Because he brought a lot of bouquets and gifts, his bag was given to his mother.

Gifts and bouquets he got from comrades in arms who supported him.

Also a paper bag from some of his classmates in second-second grade first.

Also the paper bag contains a watch from Doctor Derry who came and supported him.

Also a large bouquet of Tina handed over through Rere.

Presumably Tina still did not dare to look him in the eye, even though she had forgotten about the incident in advance and forgave him.

His feet slowly towards the rear parking lot while enjoying the afternoon sunlight that hit his face.

He plans to wash his sweat and shower and change his clothes on the trip later.

The most important thing now was to fill his empty stomach.

Today is a good day to eat as many foods that are not eaten during exercise.

The horn then greeted his ears.

The white car that stopped not far from where it stood lowered its two glasses slowly.

Featuring the homeroom teacher and his students waving their hands.

Sena returned their hands by waving her bouquet.

Which was greeted by their laughter from staring at the overwhelmed hands of Sena carrying the gifts.

The horn rang again when the road was empty and gave the car a chance to cross.

Sena nodded her head welcoming the farewell cheerfully.

Then he sighed softly while staring at the blue sky behind the rustling of leaves that danced in the wind.

He did not know that the blue sky he used to look at could look more beautiful in happy moments like this.

A paper floated in front of him, pulling his net to notice the graceful movement of the paper.

He swerved softly before finally landing right on top of his bouquet.

Humble the bouquet of flowers to take a closer look at the white paper that was loosened on it.

A short handwriting was neatly printed in the middle.

Congratuations.

Sena turned her gaze to the right, about to find out who sent her this paper.

But only the hustle and bustle of people who photographed the eyes on the right, left, or behind.

Sena turned around slowly with nil results.

Then it froze to find someone standing exactly three meters in front of him.

The person who covered part of his hair with the hat carried a bouquet and smiled sweetly looking at him.

"Congratulations on your victory."

Make Sena step her foot release the grasp of her bouquet.

Then he hugged the tall body.

Making sure for the umpteenth time that his old feelings are still neatly stored in the bottom of his heart.

Zalva returned Sena's embrace and brought her nose closer to the horse-pointed hair to breathe the air she missed.

Absorbs as much air supply to fill the empty part of his lungs.

But before the passage was fulfilled, Sena suddenly let go of their embrace and distanced herself.

"Hey, don't be so close, I haven't changed my clothes yet.."

Made Zalva furrow his brows.

The first person to get closer to her was Sena.

"Why is that?"

Sena crossed her hands forward and sniffed her arms.

"I stink."

Zalva then walked over, sniffing Sena's right cheek.

"Where?"

Making Sena's face flushed and hit her arm.

"HEY!"

From a distance, Sena's mother who saw the two of them said maybe they will celebrate Sena's victory next time; because today's event was changed to a regular dinner.

Making the three passengers behind him cheering loudly approve of his proposal.

Whatever deals with the treaty anyway they agree!

Doki stares at the path across the street, then finds out why Sena's mother canceled her show.

He saw Sena and Zalva walking down the path hand in hand.

FIN.
