The Awaited Reunion
"Rika-san~! Wake up!" A voice was heard.
"Hai…" the sleepy girl on the bed replied.
"It's your first day at your new school~!" The voice chimed.
Almost immediately, the once sleepy eyes widened in surprise and the girl shot up from her lying position.
"What?!" She frantically screamed.
She quickly turned to look at the clock and saw that it was true. She hurriedly went inside the bathroom and did the usual morning routine. Truth to be told, even though she seems to be nervous, she's quite excited to attend her first day, although she's a month late because of some circumstances.
After preparing herself and such, she ran out of the room to the dining room. Kaide, the maid who woke her up earlier, was already there, finished preparing the table and food.
"Dear, you seem to be in a hurry. Excited?"
Rika lifted her head as she sat on the chair that was located at the other end of the table, to see her mother, happily taking a bite of the fried egg, waiting for an answer.
"I… don't know…" Out came the unconfident response.
Her mother could only laugh at the reply. Her mother was a very kind woman. She's the type every kid would love, however, Rika, her daughter, doesn't seem to inherit that from her. In fact, it was the total opposite.
Her mother was patient, she wasn't. Her mother knew how to handle kids, she didn't. Her mother was feminine, she wasn't. But despite that, she still has some good points of her own. She's just not sure what they were, though. Except for one-she was a tennis prodigy.
Her father died five years ago and the only thing he left behind was the tennis racquet that she used for practicing with him and for competitions. The agony was still very fresh, albeit the years that have already passed. That's why she strived hard to be where she is now.
And that's not all. She's also an heiress of her parents' company, well mainly her mother's. She's a very responsible person. She managed to maintain everything at their best conditions without getting any help from her mother. When other companies would try to destroy the company and ruin its image, she would find a solution to that in no time. That's why her parents are so proud of her.
Anyway, enough with the chitchat. Let's get back to the story.
Rika kissed her mother goodbye and off she went.
"Rika-sama, please take care." Kaide said as the girl entered the black car.
"I will." Replied the heiress.
Rika waited until they reached the destination. After a while, the car pulled to a stop. Rika went out the car and was greeted by the fresh air of Japan. Her long Brunswick green hair flowed and swayed along her shoulders, projecting her nobility.
Eyes were glued on her as she walks towards the school's building. However, before she managed to enter, she saw the tennis courts, filled with boys who were practicing.
'A tennis club?' She thought.
She looked at her wrist watch and realised that she was an hour and a half early. Since she didn't have anything else to do, she decided to watch the boys play. As she walked towards the courts, she saw a very familiar figure.
She wanted to see the face. She hoped that that person is the one she's looking for. The one she yearned for 3 years.
As the boy turned around, their eyes met instantly.
"Ryoma…-kun…" Rika muttered.
The named boy stood there frozen, forgetting that he was still in a game.
"Oi, Echizen! Focus on the ga-"
'Clank!'
The sound of the tennis racquet hitting the ground echoed as Ryoma ran outside the courts, disregarding the thought of Tezuka punishing him. He didn't care. He only wanted to see the face of the person that he loved so much. The regulars were calling him, but he could only care less.
"Rika-chan…" He panted.
Tears were flowing on the girl's face. It's really him. How she has missed him so much.
Ryoma went closer to her. He brushed off the tears that were streaming down her cheeks like a waterfall.
"I missed you so much…" Rika chokingly said.
"I missed you more." The boy replied and for the first time, the regulars saw Ryoma genuinely smile.
Ryoma cupped Rika's face as he leans in and they shared a very passionate kiss, full of yearning, forgetting that they were actually being watched by the regulars.
A/N: Hi, guys. I'm back. They finally met! Who knew our Ryoma would do that to our Rika! Fufufu… Liked it? Well, at the next chapters, you'll see more sides of Ryoma and more about Rika.
Please review! I'll update sooner than I did now if I could at least get 5 to 7 reviews. It's because the idea is from my twin sis and I wanted to make her happy by receiving lots of reviews. She's sick right now, but with your reviews, I think she'll feel good in no time.
Arigato Ozaimasu!
