13 13 Its You (1/2)

Mia recalls the little boy's name. Hiroaki. Hiro was standing outside of the bedroom door.

He hears her talking to herself. He smiles. He was about to leave. ”What's his name again? Haru....no...Hideo...no....ah! Hiroaki!”

He stops and his eyes widen. ”That's right. Hiroaki.” He turns around and sees her happy expression then her curious expression.

”I wonder...what happen to him...hopefully he's well. He's my first friend.” She smiles as she hugs her drawing.

Hiro turns his heels and heads to his study room. He walks in and closed the door.

He walks towards his desk and grab a roll of paper. He puts on his desk and unroll it.

It's a exactly the same picture as Mia's drawing. He smiles as he recalls.

[Flashback]

Hiro sneaked out and bumped into Mia. They both hit each other's head and fell backwards. ”Ow.”

They both rubs their heads. Hiro noticed a little girl in front of him. ”Sorry.”

She smiles. ”It's okay.” He noticed a piece of paper in her hand. ”What's that?” ”Ah!”

She looks around and then whispers to him, ”Don't tell anyone.” He nods. She unroll her paper. His eyes widen.

”Teacher said to draw my future.” He tilts his head, confused. ”What...is it?” Mia smiles really big.

”In the future, I want to be the president's wife.” ”Why? What's so great about being the president's wife?” ”If I become the president's wife, then my parents would like me.” She sadly smiles.

Hiroaki doesn't understand. ”There's no way your parents wouldn't like you.” She sits on the grass and sighs. ”You don't understand.” He sits next to her. ”Tell me.”

”I have a twin sister. Both of our parents only adores her, not me. She's the light. I'm just her shadow. Whatever I do or accomplished, they never compliment me. So....” She opens her drawing once again.

”If I become the president's daughter, maybe they will feel proud of me.” ”What's in your future?” ”To have a big mansion with big swimming pool, a garden and ooh a greenhouse. Mommy loves flowers.”

.Hiroaki likes how she always put others before her. He looked up ahead and enjoy the breeze. He felt someone gazing at him.

He turns and sees her staring at him. He got nervous. ”W-what?” ”I forgot to ask. What's your name?”

He hesitates for a few seconds and replies, ”...Hiroaki.” ”Hiroaki.” She nods. ”I'm Mia.” She lifted her hand up. He takes it and they both shook each other hand.

She smiles. His eyes never left on her. (She's really cute when she smiles.) They let go of each other hands. Hiroaki looks away and asks, ”If I become a president, would you like to be my wife?”

The atmosphere got too quiet. He turns and looks at her. She tilts her head, confused, yet thinking hard. She looks at him. ”You're going to be the president?”
