DESTINY LOVE MAYANG
#DESTINY LOVE MAYANG# PART 13
***13.30 Wib Basketball Court....****
The rumble that was flogging in my heart, was felt by Setyo.
While running, Setyo pulled Mayang's hand and took him to the middle of the basketball court.
Mayang occasionally let go of the view towards the basecamp.
See if Radhit was there.
While following the footsteps of Setyo who increasingly fast walk towards the basketball court.
Arriving in the middle of the field, Setyo took the basketball from Mayang's embrace, dribbled it and played the ball with agility.
It's like Michel Jordan.
Basketball lovers are no strangers to that name. He is the legendary of the Chicago Bulls, an unrivalled football player. Especially the triple point shot.
Without me noticing, Setyo threw the ball at me, giving me the cue to throw it at the basketball hoop.
This time I tried to forget all the restlessness and turmoil of my heart.
Focus on playing basketball, forgetting about what happened this morning, throwing it away by doing what I love.
I'm a basketball lover, even if I'm not a good player.
The ball was on me, I stared at it as I shook it, bouncing it with full force, releasing all the turmoil.
For this heart to be relieved and peaceful, even if only for a moment.
Because I don't know what will happen if I meet Radhit's brother.
Still not imagined by me.
While constantly bouncing the ball to the floor of the court I tried to put the ball into the basketball hoop.
With great effort I managed to defeat Setyo, the first point for me.
A fierce fight between me and Setyo, sweat pouring down my clothes, and Setyo.
3-2 last point.
I'm 1 point behind.
I quickly grabbed the basketball from Setyo's hand, ran and bounced it to the floor of the court.
Right in position 3 point,"Sssshhhhuuuuttt..brrrruukkkkk....!"
My pitch shot out loud and on target.
Triple point for me.
And victory is on my side. Whether it was really my luck, or Setyo who tried to please my heart by playing rough.
But honestly my heart was happy, while all the weight of my mind was off, crashing by playing basketball with Setyo.
However, all that was really just a moment I felt comfort with Setyo.
Immediately gone, when someone clapped from the lips of the field, right behind me not far from there stood Radhit, standing while clapping his hands, appearing on his face emanated a sweet smile, the typical smile belongs to Radhit Putra Pratama the Ghost of the Jungle, but his eyes are very sharp like an eagle wants to hunt its prey, the gaze can not hide the contents of his heart.
I knew in the depths of his heart Radhit didn't like Setyo being there with me.
Spend time playing basketball together.
******
Setyo picked up the basketball that was right behind him, while walking towards the basketball hoop where we put our bags.
Take my bag and walk back to me.
"Still here?" setyo asked me in a cynical and flat tone while giving me my backpack.
"You still want to be here, let me go. See you in class tomorrow." he said as he passed.
For a moment, I sat still, not knowing what to do.
While running small I try to chase after Setyo who is getting faster walking away from me.
"Yo..don't go!"
"Wait for me Setyo.., if I don't throw you with my bottle!" threaten me, but don't care.
My threat didn't stop her step, not even turn her face away.
"Setyo....!" call me, but this voice feels stuck, can't get out.
Cold sweat poured down my clothes that had not been dry because of sweat after playing basketball.
My steps came to a halt when Radhit's sister tried to restrain me by blocking my path.
I lyrics towards Setyo, he has gone far, his figure has been lost among the lush trees around the intersection of the road to the field earlier.
It's just me and Radhit's brother.
"There's something I have to say!" he said while trying to grab my hand.
But I swiftly brushed it off and turned the direction to get away from it.
Not caring about her call, I continued to walk, walking as fast as possible, hoping that Setyo would still be waiting for me behind the trees on the road to the main campus.
"I just wanted to explain something, all this was May's misunderstanding, I want you to be my boyfriend," Radhit's screams made me pause for a moment in surprise, I didn't think she'd say that.
"You should know that I have nothing to do with Nabila. You know Nabila is after me, I just think of him as a friend. Where I confide and share the story, nothing more." still with half screaming brother Radhit vented his heart.
My limp feet could not step, doubting what I should do.
Should I go after Setyo, or turn to Radhit's brother waiting for a definitive answer to this relationship.
Silence did not move, my whole body trembled, for a moment I lost my direction, unable to control my mind and body.
"If you really accept me, I wait for you in this basecamp tomorrow afternoon, come here as a HIMALAPA participant. I will invite you to see the splendor and charm of God's creation and see the beauty of the world above the clouds." said brother Radhit, this time his voice was soft, not like earlier. As if resigned to this situation, where we both were in a dilemma.
I was still unmoved, heavy as my feet stepped, I was silent and fixated on looking ahead, looking for a gap so that I could avoid this situation, a situation where I seemed to be missing, he said, it was as if this body was leaving its body.
My mouth cannot say. Silence of a thousand languages.
Just the sound of my heartbeat beating rhythmically.
I tried to control myself, walking away leaving Radhit's brother who was still staring at me.
"I move my legs faster, faster..."
I could not feel myself running away from that place, without turning and saying a word.
Running away left him with a million questions.
Questions I don't know what the answer is.
****17.30 Wib, price...****
I was relentlessly running down the road to the boarding house.
But I stopped when I saw the figure of Setyo who was in the parking lot, regardless of me he passed by with a Megapro motor modification owned by him.
It hurts to lose a friend I just met.
The pain occurred again, after this heartache because of the incident this morning.
Duh..gusti, it feels like eating simalakama fruit, going back and forth.
Even though I try to position myself on the boundaries of love.
Eventually, that limit was missed by me.
Now I'm in that zone, the zone that's making my days chaotic, not what they used to be.
"Brrruuuukkk.....!" I dropped my body on the bed while throwing my backpack race in the corner of my bed.
"Well." I shouted to him from inside my room.
"I haven't come home yet" replied Dian and Niar who were in the tv room.
It's not home at this hour yet, where he and Restu, my mind for a moment.
"Why haven't you gone home yet?"ask one of Ika's roommates.
"Said sich watch with his friend, maybe a double date mbak May," replied Dian to me.
"Hhhmmmmm.awas you Ika, it turns out you two deliberately left me," my inner self.
With a giant step I headed to the bathroom, cleaned myself and changed my clothes.
Then I went back to my room and immersed myself in the dispute, hoping to fall asleep and forget all this mess.
Hope this dilemma ends soon, which might just be a nightmare for me.
There are still words from Radhit.
I wanted to tell it to Ika and Restu.
What should I do, what answers should I give.
Do I accept the conditions tomorrow or the challenge to join HIMAPALA?
Or do I stay strong by not responding and carrying out my activities as usual, for the sake of Setyo my new friend?
O God give me a ray of light, that I may strengthen my heart for one worthy to fill the recesses of my heart.
If he's my soul mate, come closer,
if he's not my soul mate, keep him away.
*****
