The Dreamers
Wherever and whenever
(Starting this chapter, the story has entered season 2.)
......................
The cherry blossoms have turned into tulips. Although both flowers are still not visible because of the snow that still prevents them from blooming.
"Welcome to Amsterdam" said one of the airport officials.
Yes, right, Hiro and Saki have arrived in the land of windmills, the Netherlands. The city of Amsterdam became their first foothold. A long journey that takes time and energy. Hiro's head got a little dizzy because it's the first time to get on a plane and directly so far.
After arriving and disembarking from the plane, Hiro opens his phone to see if Darwin contacts him. And sure enough, there were already two missed calls a few minutes ago. Hiro calls Darwin back to ask him what information he should know here.
tuut...
"Hello.. Darwin's? "
"Yes? Hiro's? have you arrived in Holland?"
"Yes, just got off the plane,"
"I'm sure I called you not in the lift, please,"
...
"Eee, Darwin, do you have some information for me? Because now I don't really understand what to do."
"Oh, sorry Hiro, I wanted to tell you earlier but didn't have time. So once you get to Amsterdam, you just head straight to Heerenveen, and I'll pick you up there..,"
"Lho's? you're in Holland too? In business?"
"Huh? Definitely not. I forgot to tell you that I'm going to Holland too. But am I not still your agent.., I should also have to accompany you to meet the manager of the club, right? how the hell are you?"
"Oh, I see, hehe, thank you Darwin. I'm sorry, I'm changing clubs for the first time,"
"Yes, I've been waiting for you in Heerenveen City. Try until 16:00,"
Hiro also saw his watch which showed at 10:20. "Well Darwin, I'll be on time,"
"OK,"
tuut.. The phone is closed.
Hiro immediately traced the map app on his phone and measured the distance from Amsterdam to Heerenveen. If using a four-wheeled vehicle, it will take approximately one and a half hours.
"Not so far away..," muttered Hiro.
Hiro looked towards Saki who was waiting for him to finish calling. Hiro feels bad for Saki if after this go straight to another City for his work problems. Hiro should be able to divide the time for his lover who will accompany him until here.
Hiro looked towards his watch once again steadily. "There are still a few hours before four in the afternoon" Hiro thought.
...
Hiro glanced at Saki's eyes and immediately reached for her hand. Saki was surprised and immediately opened her mouth which continued to emit steam because of the cold air.
"Eh.. uh, Hiro?"
"Come with me!"
Hiro pulls Saki's hand. They ran out of the airport.
Old songs are heard from loudspeakers in the airport lobby, accompanying the footprints of these lovers.
...
Outside the airport, Hiro has trouble finding an empty taxi. Hiro also twisted his brain because he did not want to wait too long. He dyed here and there and immediately turned to some parked bicycles.
"Saki! Let's get around town on this bike!" Get Hiro excited.
"Eh?! Now then? Then what about this much of our luggage?" Saki said while showing both her hands pulling the heavy suitcase.
"Ehh.., how is it?" Hiro had not thought about his luggage.
Suddenly, two white men smiled at them. The two men called Hiro and Saki in English.
These two men looked like they were offering something, but Hiro who was not so fluent in English seemed confused to answer.
"Ehh.., what am I supposed to say?"
...
Saki who was next to him swiftly answered the questions of these two foreign men with her fluent English, but still with a thick Japanese accent.
...
After Saki finishes talking to the two men, Saki explains to Hiro that they are employees of Darwin's insurance company which has a branch in Amsterdam.
Saki said that the two men asked Darwin to take Hiro and himself to the hotel near the airport for a rest tonight.
...
"Oh, Darwin's people yes" Hiro nodded his head. "From the beginning Darwin kept helping me. Is this what a player agent should do?"
...
"Yes, Hiro, let's go to the hotel first to put our things." Take Saki who is ready while carrying her bags and luggage.
"But..Saki...! B-Well," Hiro could only follow Saki and the two foreign men until he reached the Hotel very close to the Airport.
...
...
...12.35...
Hiro and Saki were still lying on two different mattresses in the same room.
...
"Huuff..." Saki daydreamed far past the window on the seventh floor of the Hotel. Everything looks white and foggy. There's nothing to see from here.
On the other hand Hiro was making two cups of hot tea and giving one of them to Saki.
"Thank you" Saki said with sparkling eyes. Closing his eyes, he sipped on the hot tea bit by bit.
"Yes?" Saki answered Hiro's call beside her.
While daydreaming out the window, Hiro said, "Here is no different than in Tokyo, huh?"
Suddenly the two of them chuckled together while occasionally sipping tea that warmed the throat.
"Yes, that's why it's called winter, everywhere must be like this" said Saki.
...
Time goes on without being felt. It was now one o'clock in the afternoon, but the atmosphere outside was still foggy and white covered in snow.
"Try shadow if it is spring now" said Hiro.
"Hahaha, yes, the sky must be clear. The flowers are also in bloom. Hehe, unfortunately we're coming in the winter, yeah,"
...
"Hmm, Saki, would you like to see the scenery here in spring?"
"Did? Meanin?"
"If I get a job here, will you accompany me to stay here?"
Saki turned to Hiro quickly. His forehead puckered, "Why?"
"Why?" Hiro repeated Saki's question.
Saki stood up and walked around and shook her head repeatedly. "Why are you asking me that?"
"Eh?" Hiro surprised. "What does that mean?" Hiro was afraid that Saki would reject him.
But not long after that Saki again smiled broadly at Hiro who was still confused.
"Why are you asking me that? I will definitely accompany you here.." Saki said.
Hiro laughed with Saki.
"This you, it makes me misunderstand. I thought you would say otherwise..," Hiro heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hehe, wherever possible," Saki hugged Hiro tightly. "I've also told my parents about this decision, so I really don't mind."
...
"I love you." Saki's hiss whispered in Hiro's ear.
...
...
...
...14.15...
"So you really don't want to stay at the hotel?"
Saki shook her head. "No, I'm coming, man,"
"Aren't you tired of traveling long distances?"
"Ssttt.., Gausah mostly talk, let's go to the hunt late. You will be less pinter English, later if there is nothing to bother."
"Hufftt.., you're hard to tell,"
"Hehe, man,"
The last time before leaving the room, Hiro glazed over the mirror to tidy up his tie. "Jude, let's go, let's go,"
...
...
On the side of the road, Hiro approached a taxi that stopped. Hiro enlists Saki's help to tell the Driver to drive them to Heerenveen City, western Netherlands.
After the driver gave a signal to get into the car, they got in. The car door was closed, the taxi was moving.
....
Half an hour passed.
...
"Your club you're coming to, what's it called? I forgot." Saki asked Hiro who was typing something on his phone.
"Heerenveen," Hiro answered briefly.
"No. Not the name of the city, but the name of the club,"
"Yes, the name of the club is also Heerenveen," Hiro confirmed.
"Oh yes Hiro, what about the other club? If not wrong with Bulgaria. Are you also considering their offer?" Ask Saki.
"Oh, Ludogorets?" Hiro is still cool with his phone. He did not care about the atmosphere around, including the cold air and snow that began to cover the glass of the taxi.
"Ah, Yes! Didn't you say the team was a champion there? While Heerenveen wants to enter the top five of the Dutch league alone is difficult half-dead."
"Ludogorets yes. I was no longer interested in them, actually" Hiro finally turned away from his phone and stared out of the window that was half covered with snow.
"Why?" Saki curious.
"The Dutch League is more competitive than in Bulgaria. That's why I prefer it here. I'm sure the valuable experience will make my abilities grow even more here,"
"Oh yeah,"
"Yes," Hiro re-typed something on his phone. "I am also telling Darwin about the same thing I told you. I've decided to accept Heerenveen's offer in comparison to Ludogorets." Hiro's words seemed to explain to Saki why from earlier he was busy with his cellphone.
Saki smiled. "Thank God you made your decision,"
Saki's head rested on Hiro's shoulder. "Excite yes, I'll always be by your side anyway,"
