Di tengah riuhnya sorakan penonton, Keenan berdiri tegak, sorot matanya tetap fokus meski di sekelilingnya gemuruh tak henti-henti. ISF Basketball World Schools Championship, ajang ini adalah puncak dari segala kerja kerasnya. Bola di tangannya terasa begitu familiar, seolah bagian dari dirinya. Dengan lincah, ia menggiring, melewati setiap lawan yang mencoba menghalangi. Setiap langkahnya ringan, tapi penuh arti, membawa ingatan pada kerja keras yang tak terhitung. Saat ia mendekati garis tiga angka, seluruh dunia seakan menahan napas. Keenan melompat, bola melayang sempurna di udara, dan saat bola itu menembus jaring dengan mulus, sorak-sorai membahana. Tapi, di tengah semua itu, Keenan tetap tenang. Dia tidak mencari kemenangan demi sorak penonton. Ada sesuatu yang lebih berharga dari sekadar poin. Matanya menyapu kerumunan, mencari wajah yang selama ini selalu ada untuknya, meski tanpa suara. Dan di sana, di antara lautan orang, gadis itu. Gadis yang selalu ada, yang dengan diamnya telah menjadi kekuatan terbesar baginya. Keenan tersenyum kecil, hanya sekejap, lalu dalam hati dia berbisik, lembut tapi penuh makna, "Thanks a lot for always having my back. You have no idea how much your support means to me. This win is ours, not just mine." --- Urutan Baca: 1. About Me: Alshameyzea 2. About Keenan

Semua luka dan kenangan itu, hanya menambah sinarnya, semakin kuat dan anggun. Karena Alsha tahu, tak ada yang lebih indah dari cahaya yang tetap bersinar meski di tengah badai. Masa lalu, baginya, mungkin menyakitkan, namun di sanalah ia belajar tentang keanggunan. Keanggunan dalam menerima, dalam merelakan, dan dalam terus bersinar, tanpa pernah kehilangan jati dirinya.
