07. Surprise from Nita

A sincere person will do anything to us without expecting anything in return. For those who are sincere, doing good is like water that always makes them thirsty to continue doing it. Eda Sally

*****

A week has passed, and today is an inter-class competition, Private Junior High School Tunas Bangsa. Various competition activities are held at school, including: singing, band performance between classes, speeches, and not missing the race in sports, such as: Basketball, and volleyball.

All students are enthusiastic about participating in various activities because they always take advantage of the time to practice, every Friday at the time of extra activities at the end of lesson hours.

Nita who always stood out in the field of sports, of course, has signed up to participate in basketball and volleyball competitions. In his team, Nita always leads the volleyball and basketball, because he stands out among them all.

"Bel, are all your friends ready?" Nita asks Bella who is a teammate in basketball.

"Nit, they're in the dressing room. Come here soon." Bella.

"Honestly Nit, I'm a bit groggy, because our opponent is a 9A class who is on average already proficient in basketball. While we haven't even trained in this school for a year." Bella.

"Already! Don't think about it. We just want to participate. Whatever the outcome we have to accept. Our focus is on giving our best." Answer Nita.

Though I also groggy Bel, but as the team leader, I can not be frank in front of you. Nita

Soon enough, Ayu, Sonya, Lidya, and three other friends who will be backups emerge from the dressing room.

"Well, that's them coming. Let's warm up for a second."

While on the side of the field was already filled with children from all classes who would watch this match. Not to miss Yuana and other classmates who are also already on the side of the field to watch the performance of Nita and his team.

The team from class 9A is also warming up. Leny, the head of the 9A class basketball team, looks cynically at Nita and her friends. He is very stubborn because he has often participated in competitions outside school and very proud of his abilities so as to underestimate Nita and her friends.

"Cihhh, just look later. I'll show you who's the greatest here." Lenny said proudly. Nita doesn't ignore Leny's words.

Suddenly the voice of Mr. Malik came from behind the microphone.

"Children, the 9A and 7A inter-team basketball competition is about to begin. Children who act as spectators are expected to provide reasonable and positive support."

The kids are all silent. The referee was already standing inside the field and giving a little direction, and then immediately blew the whistle sign the match was about to start.

Nita who holds the ball directly dribbles towards the pole where the basket to enter the ball. Leny quickly grabbed the ball when Nita was close.

The ball is in the hands of Leny. Nita is not desperate. He immediately looked for a gap to take the ball from Leny's hands. On one occasion, when Leny played the ball while smiling cunningly at him, Nita seized the opportunity by snatching the ball from Leny's hand.

Leny had not lost her shock when Nita had managed to put the ball into the basket. Automatic points immediately accrue to Nita's team.

Leny looked very angry, and the game was already starting to go awry. Bela and Ayu and Nita take advantage of this opportunity by always flanking Nita and providing opportunities so that Nita can enter the ball properly.

Until the allotted time was over, the score for Nita's team exceeded its target as they took the most shots and shots.

Yuana immediately ran over and hugged Nita. The friends who saw Yuana's behavior, immediately scattered and hugged Nita and her team.

Leny looks very upset from the side of the field and sees Nita's team with overflowing anger.

"Children are expected to head to the art room soon because we will continue the singing competition. Children who have signed up are expected to get ready soon because the singing competition will start in an hour."

Nita immediately let go of her friends' embrace and immediately pulled Yuana's hand towards the changing room. After arriving at the dressing room, Nita immediately took out 2 boxes that had been prepared from her locker and handed over to Yuana.

"Replace your clothes immediately with the dress and shoes that are in the box, because you will take part in a singing competition."Said Nita.

"Huh? I never signed up, Nit." Kilah Yuana's.

" Yes I know. You never signed up, but I registered you. Quickly change your clothes. I don't want to argue. Mom and Dad told me to take a video while you were singing. I'll send the video to Brother Joshua too."

"There's no buts. Quickly change your clothes." Nita immediately cut off Yuana's words.

Yuana immediately changed clothes and put on the shoes that Nita had bought, then immediately tidied her hair.

They immediately went to the art room, and there were many participants from each class who had attended. Nita immediately approached the committee and took the race number for Yuana who was 6th out of 15 participants.

The singing competition is about to begin. Because this race activity is to celebrate Kartini's day, then the following race are girls.

The first participant was already performing, and applause rumbled throughout the room as his voice was quite mesmerizing. One by one the participants perform and now it is Yuana's turn.

Nita immediately hugged Yuana while whispering;

"Prove that you are singing because it is already a part of your soul, and that you are not racing. Sing in a calm and relaxed manner."

Yuana nodded her head and with a smiling face she came forward and immediately went up onto the stage.

After taking a breath for a while and a bit quiet, Yuana immediately gave the code to the Musician, and the song performed by Yuana was heard.

All the students and teachers were stunned by Yuana's excellent voice, until no one moved even they forgot to give an applause when Yuana had finished singing. Fortunately the committee immediately took over the mood by calling for them all to clap. The children were greatly amazed and looked in disbelief at Yuana who had hypnotized them with her voice.

The other participants took turns in the race, and now 15 participants have finished singing.

After the jury took approximately 20 minutes, the committee immediately said that the winners would be announced soon.

Yuana looks nervous and holds Nita's hand. Nita, who understood what Yuana was feeling, immediately embraced Yuana with a smile.

"The participants of the race and the children, for the singing competition between classes, in order to improve the quality of Kartini today, then for this race;

"Vote III was won by Tiny, of the 8C class.

Plok.dwg.plok....

"Vote II was won by Nina, from the 9E class.

Plok.plok.cplok...,

"Vote I was won by,,,,,,,, Y U A N A, of class 7A."

The cheers and applause of the children were very boisterous. Nita immediately hugged Yuana very tightly. And so are his friends.

Yuana was seen shedding tears with a forced smile.

"Thank you Nit." Yuana said while hugging Nita.

After picking up the prize, they immediately packed up and went home. Mr. Ady who was waiting at the gate was seen smiling towards them. Nita and Yuana walk while hugging towards the place where Mr. Ady is waiting for them.
