Mommy ... I Want Daddy
Chapter 117 Trying to Get Back to the Field
"Surely you're afraid if our team wins." The coach tried to keep Ren playing for the second half.
Ren approached the coach. He knew it was a problem even though other friends didn't blame him. They play not to win but to have fun together.
"Yen wants to pray." Ren did not want to prolong the commotion. Fighting will not be good for the team and the opposing team. It's better to go home than on the bench and not be able to play, Ren thought.
"Ren sure you want to go home?" Hana knows Ren's love for football. Ren even watched re-broadcasts of football matches ranging from world cup, Champions League, UEFA cup, English league, Italian league, Spanish league and Indonesian league of course. And this match Ren has been waiting for a long time.
"Yes." Yeah."
Hana then went home. While in the car, Ren approaches Hana. He was crying in Hana's arms. Hana's heart sank. It's not anyone's fault Ren has a deformed leg. Until now he also did not know the cause.
Ricka was crying. He knew his brother was always training at home and in the field. She was crying faster than Ren.
"Cup cup cup." Ren stops crying and tries to calm Ricka down. "No, not pa pa."
"Why Ren doesn't support Ren's friend. Although Ren can't play, but Ren can still watch the game." Hana picks up the spare mini pom pom she prepared in case Ricka's pom pom is broken.
"Ren's friends must be more excited if there's Ren. Ren is the team captain." Hana puts a mini pom in Ren's hand.
Ren finally followed Hana's advice. He went back to the field. When Ren arrived the score was 2:1. Ren's football team conceded.
"Nuil ..." One goal added to their score. Soon there was another goal for Ren's football team. They ended the game with a score of 4:1.
Ren's football team celebrated their victory at a nearby restaurant. Ren was also invited because Ren's note was their mainstay player. Just because their opponent was afraid of Ren's ability, they were looking for excuses.
The parents of the students also supported Ren. "We'll protest until Ren is allowed to play again."
"It should be Ren's got a handicap. Not forbidden to play."
"Try if Ren was on their team, they wouldn't protest."
Although still a child, Ren is known for his fast running, powerful and accurate kicks.
At first the coach doubts Ren's ability but after he sees how Ren plays on the field and diligently follows the training (Ren always comes first), he knows Ren is talented and determined.
Coach Ren will keep trying to get Ren back on the field because for the paralympics it is usually for players with sticks in both hands with their legs puffed from the knees down. "You can see how talented Ren is. We have to support him. Not even banning him from playing."
At home Hana tells Lucas about the events at Ren's match. Even Hana was crying.
"Don't I tell you many times that Ren's deformed leg wasn't your fault. Don't keep blaming yourself." Lucas hugged Hana.
