THE ALEXIS
DRIFT KING'S

“Wanna drive?” The voice woke him from his mind.

Alex, still with his arms crossed in front of his chest and leaning on his car, turned to the source of the sound. This was his first time seeing the woman again, after the mess she had done a while ago.

The woman who was standing next to him raised her eyebrows, as if asking what she thought of his offer. There was no sweet smile on those tiny lips.

Alex had only watched him for so long. Staring at him was intense with his dark eyes. As if I wanted to ask all sorts of questions. But he hesitated to say.

“Oh, come on! I'm not talking to the wall!” Khiara exclaimed as she rolled her eyes in a fit of puff.

“Who was the boy you were with back then?” Ask Alex out of his way.

“Boy?” Khiara thought a little, “you mean Kael? She's my sister, why?”

“Adik?” Khiara nodded.

“How??” Khiara asked again about her offer.

Alex didn't reply, but he turned around and got into his car. Khiara smiled at him. Khiara always got what she wanted.

They both got ready for the start line. The sound of machines interlocking. Tonight they use the new road on the coast as a track. There were two more players in the match. They come from out of town who purposely come to race.

It turned out that the two of them were not opponents that could be underestimated. They are quite good at mastering the situation. To the point of overwhelming Khiara and Alex. Alex became a little more challenged. It looks like this match will be an impressive one.

In the meantime, the hosts are leading the way. But in the middle of the game, Khiara was displaced in the runner-up position. Alex is in third place. The match was very exciting, the front position was occupied by Red Ferrari from the challenger.

In the next minute, things went back. Alex took the lead, while Khira remained in his position. Three-quarters of the track is almost over. Khiara is leading. But at the end of the track, suddenly Khiara lowered her speed. Although not very flashy, but Alex is aware of this change.

Alex also lowered his speed. He'll be playing Khiara. The woman did not invite him to race, but just drive. So he will obey his will. To be honest, he had no intention of racing either.

And finally he gave way to the challenger to lead slowly. Red Ferrari was the first to reach the finish line. Then he was followed by a Grey SSC. Only Khira's GTR in the last position.

Alex thinks something's wrong here. Khiara could have beaten the Grey SSC. But the woman chose to budge and was in the very last position. He got out of his car and looked around.

In one corner, there was a person who was rejoicing over his victory with the human crowd. In another corner, a corner forgotten by the people, there was a woman who got out of her car. He looked at her fixedly, before the gaze was blocked by the j*lang women who surrounded him.

Alex scrunched his forehead disliking. They all blocked him from his focal point. The tail of his eyes looked at a man walking closer towards Khiara. His jaw hardened and both hands clenched. It was as if emotions were seething from within him.

...***...

“Hi, Khiara-chan” Khiara who was still observing the swarm of people who were swarming over Alex, turned to the source of the voice. He was still leaning on the door of his car. A charming smile adorned her beautiful face. He waved at the man who approached him.

“Hai, DI-KEY.” The man smiled amusedly as Khiara said it with great emphasis at the end of the word.

He approached Khiara, looked at her deeply, then leaned her body next to Khiara. They were in silence, in a place forgotten by everyone.

In the other corner Alex was still staring at the two of them sharply.

“Who is he? Your friend?” Ask Dikey who is actually named Artha, to open the conversation.

“Eem___you could say so.” Khiara traced the opponent's face and then warmed his shoulders.

“Why did you give up? That's not your style.” Now replace the man who looked at Khiara deeply.

But that look had no effect on him as usual. Khiara just returned with a crisp laugh.

“Who gave up? I'm not giving up, that's my plan. I've been planning since the middle of the game. Anyway, I'm just driving, not racing.”

“Then, what is the result of your plan?” Khiara changed her leaning position, now facing her interlocutor.

“You know? I almost didn't recognize you because of your fucking hat.” Khiara cried with ease. The man just kept touching the hat on his cat and smiling.

“Pacaaar?” Khiara's beautiful eyes began to narrow to make the man laugh in front of her.

“Home, kidding.” The man immediately corrected his words.

“Although this car has been a long time, but the SSC Ultimate Aero is not an ordinary racing car. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of the three fastest cars. The speed reaches 440km/h bro. How could that car not beat the other three cars that only had a maximum speed of 300 km/h??" Khiara nodded next to her eyebrows.

"Well, what if the person lacks experience?" Artha.

"B*cum!!" Cut Khiara. "You don't think I can see your game?" Tandas Khiara was accompanied by his deathly gaze. And Artha laughed off hearing that.

"Okay, it looks like you're better than me now." Praise Artha. But Khiara shook her head.

"No, no. You're still better than me." Khiara recalls Artha's ability which was very mesmerizing for her. If you want to know, Artha is able to make his car run tilted up to seventy degrees in a speed of 180km/hm.

“Oyah? Then what about her?" Artha pointed at Alex on the other side with her chin. "Is he better than me?” Khiara looked at Alex who was still staring at her.

"I don't know."

"Hemh??"

"Looks like you guys are worth it. You both deserve the title of Drift King." Khiara's reply made a wry smile imprinted on the lips of her interlocutor.

"You yourself know, for a drifter just a technique is not enough, right? We must be able to think quickly in analyzing the ability of the opponent if we want to be a winner."

"Well, you're right."

"And that guy___" Khiara hung up her words without distracting her from Alex.

The first time he played against Alex, Khiara really racked his brain. He must be calm to be able to think clearly and find a gap. And unfortunately the man had to make him do a technique that was quite difficult and dangerous for him.

“It looks like I should practice more often from now on.” Artha's chirps break the silence.

“Yeah, that's it. In technique you are the best, but in reading situations___ you will not be able to match it.”

“Did you win from him using one of my techniques?”

“Let's go, I learned drift from you. Of course I use your technique.”

“Well, which technique have you used?”

“Don't ever use your technique again to fight him, because he's already read and broke it.” Khiara recalled his defeat a week after his victory.

“Dan___ in the first game I have used half of all your techniques.” The two men's eyeballs widened, in disbelief. And Khiara could only respond to him.

“From the dozen techniques you mastered, you only have the last 3 techniques you mastered.”

“And how many times have you fought with him?” Push the man quickly.

“If calculated by today, means already 4 times.” Sahut Khiara lightly. This race is only held on Saturdays.

Jaw drops, it was a spontaneous response that was unconsciously done by the man.

“You're crazy!” The man hissed while shaking his head in disbelief.

“It wasn't me who was crazy, but he was too horrible. So don't blame me if I combine several techniques in one game with him.” Khiara's reply frustrated him. But as much as possible not to show it to Khiara. Is that so great, is he?
