THIS TASTE? [ END ]

OPPORTUNITY ABROAD

The day of the competition arrived. Cilla and her roommates were also present to provide support. Saka sis nodded slowly towards Cilla just before the competition started.

..."Byurrs..."...

The game begins, each participant swims up to the limit of the pool and then returns to the starting position. The spectators were anxiously waiting for who would be the champion.

"So he's in first place!"

"Yee!!!!"

Cheers echoed throughout the room. The coach threw a fist into the air while cheering with excitement.

"Great work!" his praise.

Saka sister smiled towards Cilla and also towards the camera.

...🍁🍁🍁...

After the competition, the coach made a dinner celebration. Cilla and her two roommates as well as Saka's two roommates are welcome to participate. Everyone has fun together. The coach also praised Saka for his achievements he has made. But the message remains the same. You have to be able to separate competition from personal feelings.

"Defend your performance Saka!"

"Ready sir!"

"There will be many things waiting."

"Yes sir."

"Ohya Saka, accompany me there for a moment! I have something to say."

"Good sir."

Saka looked at Cilla for a while and then walked up to her coach.

"What's up, sir?"

"There is good news and bad news for you."

"What's that?" ask Saka curiously.

"Good news, you get swimming training recommendations Abroad. It's the dream of many athletes and you're lucky to get it. The bad news is, you have to part with Cilla for some time to come."

"Emm..."

"Look from a broad perspective! your future will be even more glorious if you take this opportunity. Anything about Cilla, she should always have supported you. Yeah, a little bit much I also heard about the growing rumors. About her classmate who was also so close to Cilla. You must be worried about leaving Cilla for a long time. Look Saka, love does make someone so excited but love can also drop someone to the bottom of the abyss. My advice, pursue your ideals first and about love, will come to you!"

"I'm worried about that sir."

"Talk about this with Cilla but my advice, the decision remains with you. Don't hand over the decision to Cilla! it's your future, you have the most right to decide. Don't just because of personal feelings, you sacrifice big things in plain sight! If you succeed in this training, you have a great chance of progressing, representing our country in international competition."

"I understand."

"Good, let's go back to the dinner table!"

"Yes sir."

...🍁🍁🍁...

After dinner, everyone split up. Saka Saka spent the time on a leisurely walk with Cilla. In fact, he was looking for the right time to present the overseas training opportunity that his coach had said. Although Cilla would be sad, she had to keep saying it.

"Cilla..."

"Yes, brother."

"In a moment, I'm going overseas."

...Deg......

Cilla looked at her lover fixedly.

"I know you're surprised, I just heard it too. Just now, when the coach called me, that's what he said."

"Will Saka do the competition abroad? when leaving? when's home?"

"Coaching, training opportunities with athletes from different countries. The rare opportunity that is currently, falls to me."

"In other words, Saka will have a greater chance if he takes this opportunity."

"Be-nar's."

"Definitely old?"

"Of course."

...Deg......

It feels, Cilla's chest like being hit by a blunt object very hard.

"Sak Saka wants to say goodbye?"

Saka's sister restrained Cilla's steps while standing before her.

"Cilla. it's.."

"I will not hinder Saka. This is Saka's dream as well. How can I destroy it?"

"We'll be apart for some time to come."

"Splitting doesn't mean you won't see each other again, right?"

"Of course not, we'll definitely meet again."

No matter how much Cilla held back, her tears remained.

"Don't cry!"

"Why do I miss you? what if Saka gradually forgets me? how about..."

"Hhssst! that's not gonna happen. I promise!"

"It shouldn't be much longer but the exact schedule, I still don't know."

"In that case, we should return immediately. Saka's sister had to pack up..."

Saka's sister pulled Cilla into her arms. Strengthen the embrace as the girl sobbed. To be honest, his heart felt devastated as well. However, this opportunity should not be missed. Perhaps, there will be emptiness at first but, with time, it will definitely get used to it. This training is not forever. Someday, he will come back. Meet his lover and vent all the longings that exist.

...🍁🍁🍁...

In the room, Cilla cried until she woke up her two friends.

"What's wrong? did you guys have a fight after dinner?" ask Lina.

"Sak Saka will go abroad."

"What?"

"Move over there?" ask Nita to clarify.

"Why all of a sudden?" ask Lina again.

"He's getting training opportunities abroad."

"Bea student huh? it's amazing," said Nita who made Cilla increasingly tighten the roar of her cries.

"Ah this you!" lina's grouse to Nita.

"Sorry-sorry!"

"What about you, Cill, you're allowing it?"

"There's no other choice Lina."

"Then, are you guys going to pu-tus?"

Cilla roared again, making her two friends panic.

"I mean, are you guys going to be able to survive that long distance relationship? it's not out of town anymore. It's overseas, far away" Lina explained.

"I also know but this is the dream of all athletes. How could I possibly ban it? I can't destroy his dream. Moreover, I can't let her choose between love and dreams. I was unable to deal with the disappointment when it turned out, Saka chose to achieve her dream and let go of our relationship."

"Huh. critical," exhorted Nita.

"Truly critical" said Lina.

...🍁🍁🍁...

[Come down, let's have dinner together! ]

Cilla quickly moved from her sleep after reading a short message from Saka's sister.

"Hey, where are you going?" lina asked half-screaming.

"Dining with Saka's brother."

"Oh.."

"Leave it! time with them is not long. Saka's gonna be leaving soon."

"Yes Nit."

...🍁🍁🍁...

Cilla and Saka's sister eat in the cafeteria. Cilla accidentally asked him because he wanted to spend more time together.

"Are you sure you want to go to the cafeteria to eat it?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why not go out?"

"If we go out, our time together will be wasted. I want to look at Saka's sister, longer than usual.

Saka made a lip and smiled.

"Well, I'll order something for you! just a minute!"

"Yes." Yeah."

A few moments later, Saka returned.

"Please enjoy!" said it.

"Thank you."

"If only time could go a little slower" muttered Cilla.

"Don't do that, don't make it harder for me to go!"

"Will Saka miss me too?"

"Of course."

"Will Saka call me every day?"

"I promise!"

"What Saka's sister.."

"Heiis, why did her lover suddenly turn this blanket?"

Cilla smiled.

"Don't think anything! let's eat!"

Cilla nodded.
