Epilogue
Graduation came. It was time for the seniors to leave Shohoku High. Two of the seniors are Mitsui and Terri. It was time to go to their separate ways again. Mitsui was dreading this time would come again. He was afraid that Terri would be out of his life again. The month before graduation day came, he planned a lot of devious schemes for him to stay with Terri, he was trying his best not to let Terri leave him again for the second time around.
"Terri," He said as they were on a date a week before graduation day came.
"What is it Hisashi?"
"I was wondering, would you be leaving me again?"
"What do you mean?"
"Would you be leaving me again when we will be in college?"
"I don't know."
"Where will be studying college?"
"My dad said it will be better if I studied in Tokyo."
"Do you like it?"
"I don't know."
"If you will be studying in Tokyo, we will be separated again."
"I know."
"Then, will you be leaving me again?"
"I still don't know."
They fell silent that time and suddenly Terri said.
"Why don't we camp out again for a week?"
"How about school? It's not summer yet you know?"
"I know. We'll go to school together and spend our time in our former campsite."
"It'll be like old times. But this time better."
They really camped out again but when the night before graduation came…
"Do you like me to go, Hisashi?" Terri asked Mitsui as they were lying on the ground looking at the stars.
"If that's where you will be happy."
"If I do, will you be with me?"
"No."
"I will not be happy there if you're not with me."
"Then don't go."
"My dad really wants me to go."
"Do you want?"
"No."
"Because you will not be with me?"
"Yes."
"Your studies go first before me."
Terri was surprise. Mitsui really changed.
"If you must go, then go."
Terri knew that Mitsui was serious about it.
"Hisashi…"
"Promise you won't forget me."
"I promise. You're the most important person in my life. How could I forget you?"
"So are you Terri, so are you."
"I love you. I honestly love you."
"I love you too with all my life."
Mitsui kissed Terri and Terri kissed back. That was their happiest time ever.
Graduation day came…
"Well, we're going to different ways now." Mitsui told Terri after their graduation.
Terri was surprised Mitsui was not trying to stop her.
"Right."
"It's not too late, isn't it?"
"For what?"
"For you not to go."
Terri was surprised. Mitsui does care.
"No, it's not."
"Please don't leave me again."
"I won't, I'll be with you forever."
"Do you promise that Terri Seiya?"
After 5 years, after college graduation at the church…
"I do." Terri said.
All the people clapped for them on their wedding. Everyone was happy for them. They were the perfect couple.
"Terri…"
"Yes?"
"I've longing…"
"Longing for what?"
"Longing for this to happen since we were five. I've always dreamed of this happening."
2 years passed they settled at a simple house near their camping site. In fact they made their camping site their backyard. They had one baby boy.
After 5 years, the boy was five years old. He was just like his Dad. He loved basketball a lot. He spent most of his time in the public court. Not that they don't have a court of their own, he just like to play there to meet friends. And since he had the eyes of his mother and the face of his dad, he was quite a hunk.
"Daddy! Mommy!"
"Yes dear?" The two asked their child in chorus.
"Look! I found a friend!"
He introduced a girl his age. They took off and Mitsui and Terri saw them play happily in the backyard.
"Looks like the start of a wonderful friendship dear."
"It will be, believe me."
