The Dreamers
Not finished, but it's starting!

Seven days ago, Hiro had just completed a contract agreement with Darwin as the owner of Akihabara FC. Now, it was time for Hiro to do the thing he wanted to do.

"From next Sunday, you and Ryota will move from Sapporo City to Akihabara. Here we've provided everything, don't worry," That's what Darwin said a week ago.

Hiro told Ryota about Akihabara FC's contract. Ryota is very happy to know that the club has also signed him.

"Gee.., really!! thanks Hiro! thanks to your efforts, they finally want to recruit me!" Ryota said the other day.

As of this morning, Hiro was packing things in his dorm room. He graduated from Sapporo University. Many of Hiro's sweet and bitter memories were felt in this place. The photos are plastered on the walls of his room he took one by one. There are some photos that Hiro always remembers his moment, such as when he first walked into a dorm, his first friend on campus, then there is a photo when he was hospitalized for being battered by being beaten by people who always bully him.

But of all the photos, there is a very important photo for him. That is the photo when Hiro and his friends managed to win the UFF tournament. In the photo are all her friends at the University club, as well as Ryota, and Saki who is pictured next to Hiro.

"It feels like four years is very fast..," muttered Hiro as he looked at the last photo before he put it in the cardboard.

...

After finishing cleaning things up, Hiro came out of his room. He wanted to go around for a while meeting with his class mates in the dormitory. Hiro meets up with his friends who are also packing their things. They greeted each other when they met. Although only a little, but Hiro will not forget his friends.

...

beep.beeep. Hiro pulled over and leaned against the corridor wall while opening the message inside his phone.

"Hiro.., are you at leisure? can you meet me at the park?" That was the message Hiro got from Saki.

"Alright, I'll be there soon," Hiro replied to Saki's message.

Hiro rushed out of the building to the park which was between the male dormitory and the female dormitory.

"Why did Saki suddenly ask to see me in the park?" Thought Hiro.

Moments later, Hiro arrives at the campus park. The park where Hiro and Saki first met. In the middle of the park, Saki is seen sitting accompanied by a cat sitting on her thigh. The sunlight entering through the crevice of the tree leaves illuminated half of Saki's face.

Hiro approached him. "Saki..!" Shouted Hiro.

Saki looked over and smiled. "Hehe, come here Hiro.., look who's on my lap..,"

"Cat?"

Hiro sits next to Saki. Hiro was already sitting next to her but Saki was still cool with her cat. Hiro asks Saki why she wants to see him here.

Saki replied, "There's nothing..,"

"Huh..?" Of course Hiro who heard Saki's words was a little surprised.

Saki went on to say that she only wanted to see Hiro one last time before she left Sapporo for Akihabara. "You're leaving today, aren't you? am I wrong to want to see you for a minute?" Saki said with her sweet smile.

"Saki..," said Hiro. Hiro understands Saki's feelings. Hiro hugged Saki right then and there.

After several months of dating, Hiro and Saki have just hugged each other this time. Indeed, these two couples still do not understand what to do like a couple.

...

Saki was a little surprised as Hiro hugged her tightly. The white cat on his lap suddenly jumped up and meowed in front of Hiro and Saki.

...

"Saki..," Hiro once again. "Sorry, I'm going out of town for a long time,"

"Yes" said Saki. "Sir papa, I also already know if the risk of having an athlete's lover is to accept the reality of having to be remotely related..,"

Hiro was a little surprised to hear Saki's statement. "Thank you for understanding," Hiro let go of his embrace and looked into Saki's eyes. "If there's a chance, I'll definitely come back to you Saki. Thank you for always supporting me at any time..,"

Saki smiled. "It's okay. You don't have to force. If you can't always see me, I don't have a problem either. I just want to see you perform Hiro,"

"Again, I'm really grateful for your understanding Saki. I'm really grateful to have a lover like you" Hiro said.

Saki's face turned red in embarrassment praised by Hiro. "I'm grateful too" muttered Saki.

Finally they both went home to their respective dorm rooms to transport items to be immediately removed from the room. Every time there is a graduating student transport, every dorm room that has ever been used will soon be filled by new students. Hence Hiro and the others had to immediately take out the items.

...

Until midday, Hiro's work was finally done. He uses his services to move his belongings back to his home, which is Dad's house. Hiro had already told his father about this.

Before returning home, Hiro called Ryota to tell him as well.

Hiro: Hello Ryota.., later if you want to go to the station please pick me up at home ya..,"

Ryota: Ehhh? you want to go home?

Hiro: Yeah. Just put my stuff in there..

Ryota: Okay alright, I will come to you at home when I want to go to the station together.

Hiro: Okay, I'll see you later, okay,

tuu.. Hiro hung up.

...

Hiro is very excited because he will meet his father for the first time since a few months ago. Even at the graduation ceremony, his father was not present. It will be an emotional encounter for Hiro and his father.

...

doc.dok.dok... Hiro knocked on his door. "Dad? is it home?"

ckleek.the door opens. "Of course Dad's home" replied Hiro's father, who opened the door for his son.

The father and son exchanged different facial expressions. Longing, joy, experience, glad tidings, or wounds in the heart, all are painted in an expression.

"Welcome back to my son's house" Hiro's father said.

Hiro enters his childhood home. The once fragile little boy has now become a strong-hearted man, but still with the same dream.

Hiro laughed amusedly when he saw the used container to sell it first. "Damma,"

"How does it feel to be back home?" Ask your father while smiling.

"For sure it's very happy..," replied Hiro who was also smiling.

Hiro and his father together move Hiro's belongings from the dormitory to be put into the house.

"Ah., no need Well.., I can just move it," Hiro said.

"Ah.., it's okay, don't underestimate this Father of yours, I still have a strong tau.., haha!"

"Hehe, yes Dad,"

Actually Hiro no longer wants to see his father do heavy work. Hiro knew his father was getting old. Hiro wants his father to sit quietly at Home and enjoy the old days quietly while hoping that Hiro can answer his dreams all along.

...

After finishing moving the items, Hiro and his father had only talked about interesting things lately. Actually Hiro has prepared all his preparations to go to Akihabara City using the train along with Ryota. Hiro is just waiting for Ryota to approach him at home.

..Hiro could not wait to leave.

...

...

An hour later.

...

"Hiro..!!!" Ryota's voice called out to Hiro loudly from outside. "Let's go! don't be late!"

"Oh yeah! wait for me, I'll be right out!" Shouted Hiro replying to Ryota.

"Yes" Hiro stood up. "Okay, I'll be right away. Thank you for the support, and thank you for everything."

"Shortly boy! One more thing!" Shouting Hiro's father from inside the house made Hiro look back.

"Is that Dad?" Ask Hiro.

"Your journey is not finished, but it has only just begun!" Hiro's father's spirit when he said it to his son.

Hiro replied to his father's message with a promise. "Yes Dad! I'm not going to stop playing football!"

Hiro and Ryota walk right away leaving Hiro's father still standing looking right at the door of his house. "Take care of your spirit, son." muttered Hiro's father as he watched his son slowly start walking away from the house.

...

"Yahhuukkk..uhukkk..!"

And finally Hiro's father was able to cough loudly after earlier holding him back because he did not want to be known by Hiro.

Hiro's father just doesn't want anything to stand in his way. Even a father does not want to hinder his son to be able to focus on what he wants.

...

...

...

After boarding the fast train, Hiro and Ryota arrive at Akihabara City. By late afternoon, the two of them headed straight to the address of the club's training ground given by Darwin via a short message.

Arriving at the place Darwin referred to. Hiro and Ryota are very happy. It turns out this place is a training field like an international class. The grass and training equipment are very modern compared to when in the Academy.

"Well, that's great!" Admire Hiro.

...

"Well, Ryo.., are you ready?"

"For sure!" Ryota with his hands tightly clenched.

Hiro and Ryota enter Akihabara FC's training ground. Many players, team officials, and not to forget that the coach is waiting for them inside.

"Well, I can't wait for Hiro! how's your?!" Ask Ryota curiously.

"Yes, you must have known the answer" replied Hiro. "Let's start from here now!"
