Rama helps his friend who is lying in the field. The man has been injured. Rama.

"I'm still strong. We're gonna win the game."

Rama denied, "Don't force yourself. I'll get the PMR to help you."

Several PMR members approached him. They help his friend Rama who is injured.

Rama gave the message, "Give good treatment, if you can't handle it, just call Danamaha Hospital."

The PMR member nodded his head.

Rama rubbed his face rough, "No backup player, I have to ask a 10th class to enter."

Rama came out of the field, when the referee and his friends were fighting.

Rama approached the 10th class athlete bench. There's Raihan and Rangga over there. They looked up at Rama who was standing in front of them all.

Rama said, "My team members are injured quite badly, I hope there is someone from you who wants to join my team. Just when this game is all, you don't want our High School to lose to them, right?"

No one dared to answer.

Rama snorted in annoyance, he should have guessed this from the beginning.

He turned and left. However, the voice of someone made his steps stop.

"I'm going down" Raihan said as he stood up from his seat.

Rama turned.

Raihan's Iris onyx and Rama's dark hazel meet. They stared at each other for a moment. Implied something hidden behind each other's gazes.

"You sure? I heard you had an accident" Rama half asked.

"I just fell off the bike, let's lose them" Raihan said.

The two men took to the field. Raihan removed the armband from his arm and put it in his pants pocket.

Rama spoke to the referee. He said that the reserve player has been set by him.

After getting approval from the referee, Raihan was allowed in.

"Your position is to replace my friend who was injured" Rama said.

Raihan nodded, "Okay, Captain."

Hearing Raihan's words, the corner of Rama's lips was interested in making half an arch.

"You're also the captain, you fool!" Grouser Rama. Raihan smiled, "Sister's older than me."

"Don't call me brother, damn it. Me and you're the same age!" Grutu Rama slowly.

Raihan grinned, "I called you brother, because you're Shica's sister."

Deg

Rama's feelings start to get uncomfortable when his sister's name is called.

They get into position.

"I went to Parameswara High School and became a captain there, so I know their weaknesses" Raihan said.

"What is your goal in moving to High School? You want to hurt Shica?" Rama asked who stood on his back to Raihan.

Raihan smiled, "You think, I'm fine after what you guys did back then?"

Rama clenched his hands, "It was my fault and Brother Regar, you can take it out on us, not with Shica, he doesn't know anything."

"Come to me." Raihan grinned as Rama turned to him.

"Hey, Captain Raihan! You moved the bow, huh? Why did you choose to change schools and become our opponent?" Ask a player from Parameswara High School.

Raihan snorted, "Can you guys not say much? After I moved, you guys were so chatty!"

"We won't take orders from you, you're not our captain anymore."

"Don't expect, we'll give in to you, Raihan."

"Hey! I never told you to give up on the opponent, fool!" Grouser Raihan.

"Yes, yes." They say together.

Raihan nodded his head lazily.

Rama just smiled hearing their nonsense. It seems that Raihan was known to many people at Parameswara High School.

The whistle goes that the basketball game begins.

Shica and Meishy who were sitting on the bleachers looked seriously paying attention.

Rama gave the ball to Raihan. Despite his lack of form, Raihan kept trying to win the match against his former team when he attended Parameswara High School.

Rama and Raihan had collided and fell because they forgot their respective positions.

Team Rama patted the forehead seeing the silliness of the two of them. Shica and Meishy shut their mouths looking at that. Rangga immediately stood up and looked worried about the captain.

Regar who also saw it rubbed his hair rough.

Givar rolled his eyeballs, "Actually what are they doing?"

"Shameful," muttered Dion.

"Why did your sister put that guy on her team?" Farrel asked half a grumble.

Reverberated in annoyance at his friends, "Why are you guys protesting against me?!"

The points earned by Rama's team are slightly behind.

Raihan recalled something, he told his strategy to Rama and his team.

After hearing Raihan's words, they nodded in understanding.

Sure enough, Raihan's strategy went smoothly. Points can be balanced and even Rama's team wins the game.

Everyone applauded.

Raihan stepped out of the field, but his body staggered. If there were no burly hands embracing his body, he might have already fallen down.

Raihan looked up at who was embracing him, it turned out that Rama. The man pulled Raihan to continue their steps.

"Why not shake hands like that?" Ask Rama.

"No need, peting's already won the game." Raihan.

"As a formality." Rama drew Raihan's hand and made a male salaman.

"Quickly healed, in the future you need a lot of energy," said Rama while patting Raihan's arm.

"Aww!" Raihan.

Rama passed with a flat expression. Raihan looked at the back of the man who was moving away.

Volley teams are back in.

There are two fields in one location. To the left of the volleyball court, and to the right is the basketball court.

Rama drinks water from a new bottle given by Shica. Rama's friends look at Rama with gawking expressions. Not without reason, the color and pattern of the bottle was too striking in Rama's hands.

"See what you guys are?!" Grouser Rama.

Getting the question, they immediately shook their heads.

Shica clapped her hands in spirit as her brother won a volleyball match. Today was the proudest day, both his brothers won the match, Raihan was also involved in it.

The 12th class was won by Hardiswara High School, while the 11th class was won by Parameswara High School.

For basketball, both teams from Hardiswara High School won the game.

There are many other games besides volleyball and basketball.

The captains of each field gave words as they earned the award.

Rama waved his hand, "I feel very happy, my team can work well together and win this, Andre, Rizvan, Aldi, Ega, Fahri, and Raihan as well."

Shica smiled at the brother's speech. All the girls shouted the name of Rama

"Thank you for playing with us too, the basketball team from Parameswara High School. Greetings friendship, Rama and team." Rama held out two fingers of peace.

Everyone applauded. Shica was the most enthusiastic.

Next Regar. He did not let out his voice, as the atmosphere was very noisy, especially the screams of the girls.

The man just stood in front of the mic.

When things got quieter, Regar conveyed his joy, "Thank you for giving me time to talk. I am proud of all of you who have won this match, whoever you are, wherever you come from. You've been winners."

"Waaaah! Regaaar!"

"Religion!"

"Regar Mahali!"

"Regar!"

Everyone shouted the name of Regar.

"Thank you to the supporters who encourage those you trust to compete." Connect Regar.

Rama's patting Rama on the shoulder made the man a little surprised by what his brother was doing. Regar pulled his sister forward a little. Rama complied so that he was embraced by Regar.

"I'm proud of my sister, too. Not only Rama, there is someone who also means something in my life, he always gives me support. He's my ardent."

Rear's gaze was fixed on Shica. The girl smiled at her brother. Meishy turned to Shica with a puzzled expression.

Rear extended his hand to Shica. The girl pointed at herself. Regar nodded. Meishy turned her head towards Shica and Regar alternated with an increasingly panicked expression.

With a slight hesitation, Shica got up from her seat. He came forward and received his brother's hand.

All the girls looked upset and shouted hysterically. Bella grunts annoyed.

"He's Rear's girlfriend?"

"Why should he?"

"Why is it always him?"

"Bella, why are you so quiet?"

"Is that 10th grade girl so valuable in Regar's life?"

"He's disgusting and cheap. I've seen him kiss Rear."

"It's not appropriate for him to be with Mahali's men at all times Regar."

Many are whispering.

Regar embraces Shica without caring that the sweat that soaks her body can stick to Shica.

"She was the second woman in my life after my mom... Rastarani Mahali, my sister."

Everyone was shocked and widened in shock at the sudden confession of Regar.

Rama smiled.

Meishy rounded her eyes with her mouth forming the letter O.

Rangga was also surprised, geez. at that time I never spoke about her brother! Why didn't he say!

Raihan looks ordinary. Actually, he knew it a long time ago.

Bella passed by in annoyance.

-

Shica was looking for Meishy, but she never found her best friend.

Is it possible that Meishy is angry, because Shica did not say, that she is the sister of Rama and Rear?

Upon entering the canteen, Shica almost collides with Meishy.

"Meiss?" Call Shica.

Meishy lowered her head, "Sorry. I was bad-mouthing your sister at that time."

"Meishy." Shica held onto both of Meishy's arms.

"Sorry, Shica, I don't deserve to hang out with you. I hear those who constantly vilify me." Meishy looked down inside.

"Don't say that, please don't feel that way, I don't have any friends but you." Shica looked sad.

Meishy fell silent, "I feel unworthy...."

"Meishy." Shica moaning.

Silent.

Meishy nodded slowly.

Shica smiled then hugged Meishy tightly.

"Don't stay away from me, don't listen to anyone else."

Meishy returned Shica's embrace and nodded.

-

Regar snorted in annoyance as Bella got angry at him. He simply leaned his back against the wall and folded both hands in front of his chest.

"Why do you always put your naughty sister first? I'm your boyfriend." Bella pointed at Rear's face.

"We end it," said Regar then passed.

Bella was wide-eyed, she pulled Rear's arm, "What do you mean! I've spent the night with you!"

"You're not a virgin, you're lying to me, you're someone else's ex, Bella." Regar brushed Bella's hand off her.

Bella shook her head, "That's not true!"

"You soaked my bedspread with blood out of nowhere. You think I'm stupid? Not once or twice have I slept with a girl, so I know and I can tell which ones are virgins, and which ones are former."

After saying that, Regar passed leaving Bella who was angry.

Bella dripped blood from the small bottle she was carrying.

When Regar enters the room, Bella immediately acts mediocre.

"Darling, I'm prettier with make-up, or no make-up?" Ask Bella.

"Beautiful without clothes."

Bella laughed at Rear's reply and then walked out of Rear's room.

The man looked at his bed. There was a blood stain on that gray bed sheet.

Regar raised his eyebrows.

Bella stomped her feet to the ground in annoyance.

"Be careful, I'll reward you!"

Meanwhile, Shica was chatting with Rama in the parking lot. They are both waiting for Rear.

"Look, Brother Rama, this is the skirt that Brother bought." Shica spinning.

Rama laughed, "Why do you have to turn around?"

"For you to see it, it looks good, right?" Shica answered with a question.

"Yes, good, my choice is never wrong."

Regularly enter the parking area with the same clothes, his volleyball jersey.

Rama and Shica's gaze was fixed on Regar who looked less good mood, visible from the expression of his face.

"I'm going to base camp, you guys just go home."

Rama and Shica looked at each other.

-

On the way,

Shica melts her head into Rama's back, "What's the base camp?"

Rama replied, "The place where the children are gathered."

"Where?" Ask Shica again.

"You don't need to know."

"There are no women in that place?" Ask Shica.

Not responded by her brother. Shica patted Rama's back rather loudly.

"Aw! Why you?!" Rama grumbled in annoyance. Shica also grumbled, "Stop being naughty with girls."

Rama only grimaced while grumbling.

"I'm happy to see my brother with Raihan" said Shica imagining the moment on the field earlier.

Rama did not respond.

Shica pouted, "You fit in as friends."

"No, I don't want to." Rama immediately replied.

Shica snorted and again melted her head into Rama's back.

-

"Raihan was a transfer student from Parameswara High School to Hardiswara High School a few months ago." Dion read from his laptop.

Givar nodded, "At Parameswara High School, he was already in 11th grade, but when he moved to Hardiswara High School, he hid the 11th grade report card and opted for 10-IPA-B."

Regularly listen seriously.

"At Parameswara High School, Raihan was known as a good basketball captain." Gilang added.

"He was a member of the gang when he was a junior high, just like me. It just so happens that he also attended the same Junior High School as us at that time, SMP Amaryllis." Farrel goes with nimbrung.

"Yes, is he still a gang member?" Ask Regar.

"No, I never saw him hanging around with his old gang" Dion replied.

"Is the gang leader still the same?" Ask Givar to Dion.

"Yes, Januaar is still the head of that goddamn gang until now" Dion replied as he threw a picture of a handsome man at the table.

"Even though he was a child, he was known to be cruel and arbitrary regardless of where women and men were. You remember him, Regar?"

Regularly look at the photo carefully.

That man was the one who helped Raihan when the accident. He came with his friends.
