Does life give us a second chance?
The race had begun and she wondered if she would win this time round. She failed last year. She spent almost two months in a row trying to justify why she lost. Maybe her stamina wasn't trained well, maybe the weather was too hot or maybe she didn't gave all she got. She hears her heart as she grasp for some air to keep going. Until it stopped. All seemed to slow around her. Cheers and shouts everywhere.
Defeaning-----
Did she reached the finish line? Did she collapsed? A hand in front of her waiting to be shake. It's her coach.
"Congratulations Mira" And then he hugged her with teary eyes he continued "You asked me months ago, if life gives second chances. Now, I tell you, it does, not only second but many times to those who never gives up"
His voice sounded like a song in her ear. She's back in reality again and now everyone is celebrating around her. She won the race. All the training paid off. Handshakes and congratulations surrounds her but what matters most is one thing, she made the the person who never gave up on her, happy.
" I dedicate this trophy, to my coach who stood by me when nobody did. In all the times that what only comes out in my mouth is doubts,he never gave up on me. So coach Ron, this is all because of you" She handed her trophy to her coach after the speech and she saw the tears fall down his face " Who said you can't have this one?" She said teasingly. With shaking head, he looked at the metal attached to complete his right leg " Life gives us second chances coach, because you passed on the fire to me" She said to him. He gave her a big tight hug. Finally, he got what he missed to have a long time ago because of his leg injury. Both of their dreams came true today.
The End
