"Saito?" My voice croaks as I witness my boyfriend and a woman giving him a hug in the middle of their volley ball free practice. It wasn't just a simple hug. It was something else.
  
  
   
 
Saito, my boyfriend—no, ex boyfriend for 3 years has finally made it clear to me. All of those things that my friends told me turned out to be true. He was cheating.
   
   
  
"Himari?"
 
  
  
 
He immediately pulled away and ran towards me while everyone else was watching us. I was about to leave but he stopped me by shouting out my name really loud, "Himari Hina!"
  
   
   
    
Now. Everyone in the court knew my name and I felt so stupid and embarrassed. I didn't look back but I could feel my heart was pounding like crazy, and this was not out of butterflies—all these was anger, my temper.
  
  
  

"Hina, listen to me. Please, I beg you. She's nothing, I love you."
  
  
  
 
I balled my fist as I slowly shift my head to him, I can't give up on our relationship but I can't lose my sanity either. And so I decided to say the least three words I wanted to say.
  
  
   

  
I never knew this would come to this point. Our 3 years full of affection, care, ups and down has come to an end—for me.
  
  
   
  

  
"Let's break up, Saito. I want to end our relationship."
  
  
  
  
 
The court felt dead quiet, everyone was surprised. I could only hear my voice echoing. Then he burst into laughter. "Seriously? And who would you want to date next? Him?"
  
   
  
 
Saito randomly pointed a player on the court. He was standing firmly—wearing a jersey with a number 19 printed on it, staring directly at me. He snapped out of it and starts to dribble his way to the furthest corner.

  
     
  
    
  
Sure, he has the looks, but I never would have given a thought that Saito would act like this after getting caught. "No, I just want this to be through, I gave you chances but you're only sorry when I caught you."
  
  
  
  
 
He grab ahold of my wrist. I flinched, "Sorry, I apologize. I will make it up to you Himari Hina, we can't break our relationship.."
  
  
  
  
"Saito, can you not understan—" I got cut off when I saw a ball flying up in the air. It was about to hit him. So I screamed, "SAITO WATCH OUT!"
  
  
   

  
But it was too late. It painfully hit his head and he fell down on the ground, I quickly help him up. Once he got up, he nudged me and started yelling.
  
   
  
   
  
"Alright, who the hell was that?!"
  
  
  
  
  
My eyes landed on the same guy—the one with number 19. I could tell that it was him, but why? I could only watch him admit his mistakes to Saito as he voluntarily walk in front of him without any remorse. "Hey, what's your name?"
 
  
  
  
  
I may not know him, but I'm thankful that he did that to Saito, and I was able to put an end to this mess.
 
  
  

  
"My name is Takahashi Ran." The guy responded, "And I think your girlfriend deserve a better guy,"
  
  
   
  

   
My eyes widen in shock, is he trying to provoke Saito and start a fight? No way he can handle him, I mean, his rage is the thing you don't want to begin with.
