Accustomed to basketball training plus the competition time is getting closer, making Jason forget that he has been removed from the basketball team that has raised his name. Therefore, now he casually brought Malini and Ananda using his motor matic.
As usual, Ananda very cheerful to enjoy the trip by motorbike. Several times, her tiny lips threw a question at Jason. Every now and then, the motherly Malini who sat behind him without actually clutching Jason's waist, would help answer. Until this second, Malini had only slightly held on to the end of Jason's black jumper jacket.
It was only when Jason saw his basketball court building that the young man remembered that yesterday, in front of the building, by phone, he was disrespectfully ejected.
Malini stares at the building where the basketball court that Jason left behind, after passing it just like that. “Pah, the building passed loh,” he said deliberately reminded.
“Nothing. I'll take you directly to your parents' house.” Jason deliberately exclaimed because this time, he was indeed a bit speeding.
“It's not too late?” exciting Malini.
“I forgot that I'm out.” This time Jason was suddenly not excited. Because getting out of the basketball team that he has fought for is enough to make him hurt. He was disappointed because even though he contributed to making mistakes, his struggle so far seemed to be unappreciated because the coach did not give him tolerance.
“This ... the news is like this?” lirih Malini between shock and sadness when finally, they arrived at the residence of Mr. Maheza.
Malini just learned the news of the departure of Jason who has been officially announced and has become the hottest news everywhere. Moreover, Jason is a member even originally the chairman of the national basketball team.
After looking at the screen of Malini's phone proffered to him, casually Jason said, “That news has been fried is unclear. It's a risk of cool people is so.”
Jason chose to lift Ananda's body, making the boy insert his basketball directly into the ring where Ananda held on to the ring.
“Papah ... I'm so tall!” heboh Ananda excited.
“At the moment as suddenly as now, he could still make Ananda happy. Must have been the reason for being kicked out because of me. Because he was on vacation a lot. But it should not be often, there is not a week. That was all he had initially been expelled from the first team. Previously, he had also participated in training, and Jason also relaxed, seriously training. But yesterday, Jason came home early. What happened yesterday, huh?” thought Malini who did directly fit the logic. He gradually approached Jason while opening his WA chat room because on several occasions, Ananda would send Jason WA. Sure enough, he found traces of the reason Jason yesterday suddenly came, and it was WA from Ananda.
“So, the story how?” malini asked gently as she looked at Jason from the right side.
“Write, nothing. You can trust me. I'm sure, I'm reliable.” Malini deliberately held onto Jason's right shoulder which was slowly lackluster, signaling the young man was not okay.
Jason could not express his feelings. His heart was filled, while the tears that had previously been held, finally fell along with his sadness that eventually also overflowed. Malini who realized Jason needed support as well as a hug, immediately hugged Jason. Despite the fact that Jason was crying, making Nanda who became in front of Jason, confused. Jason really didn't take Ananda down.
In silence Jason swore, he would never forget. That in his life, there was a woman named Malini who treated him full of tenderness, even when he was at the terenda*h point.

“See, I got a lot of offers right away. From Malaysia ... Filipin ..” said Jason shortly after they took time out for a break and lunch.
“Do not digubris. It will become a fireball for yourself. Now you just focus enough on rest. Relax your mind,” said Malini while preparing each side dish to a plate that is also decorated with red rice.
That instant Jason was also instantly dumbfounded. After all, basketball has become part of his life. No matter who he stands for, he still plays basketball. However, the spiritual flush he got from Malini felt there was a point.
“Yes is Mah, I'm reckoning. Maybe now I really have to focus on your case with Ananda while preparing my life to meet my mother,” said Jason really resigned.
Seeing Jason as he is now, Malini became even more unbearable. “Try later I ask Kim for help to take care of. Kim knows some people inside. What, I went straight to the training ground? If yes I go to the training ground, must be accompanied by mas Chalvin what mas Aidan anyway. Eh, chalvin mas same mas Aidan will be busy pake really. If so, tomorrow I will go there just like Akala. Mumpung mas Akala is still here,” Inner Malini.
As Malini intended, the next day, he accidentally took Ananda away to where Jason used to practice. Akala had accompanied him and was on standby to help. Akala who is not young because Akala is almost five heads, deliberately carrying Ananda.
“Lusa, mbak Nina same kids come. Bismillah, everything's resolved soon. Mamah same papah also come, nabo*k nabo head Davendra use taflon said,” Akala story.
Hearing that, Malini's heart had melow immediately, including both eyes had also been immediately wet.
“Nothing, Deck. The storm will surely pass, the gentle” of Akala who then nods her head gazing sadly at Malini who she hopes remains spirited.
“I forgot to say, if yesterday, mamahnya Davendra had a phone call, ngajak barter that. He said he wanted to revoke the report, as long as I also revoke the report to Devandra, Mas,” Malini story. Because they had arrived at the entrance, Malini had made an appointment directly through the security guard who served there.
“Who is Devandra? From yesterday, since I was sick, I so often hear the name Devandra,” asked Ananda really curious. Using his right eye that can see perfectly, he looked at Malini's face and Akala's face, alternately. However, both are compact giving the same facial expression—bingung. Making Ananda sure, Devandra is indeed an important person in their lives.
