My Old Star
#125 Repeat Once More
Early in the morning Arfan and Mentari say goodbye from Grandma's house, they have to go to campus this morning.
"Dear your exam till what time?" Arfan asked as they were on their way to campus after first returning home to prepare and pick up equipment to take to campus.
"Today until two o'clock, there are two exams I must take. Afterwards just compile the results of the research and complete my final task Sis."
"Well, I hope it's easy" Arfan rattled Mentari's hair.
"You be careful, baby, if there's anything, let me know soon."
"Yes, I'll be more careful."
They split up on campus due to heading for different faculties.
In front of the class Mentari was greeted by Siska who had been waiting for him since.
"So you're finally here!"
"You been Sis a long time?"
"Already dong, let's go to Mentari!"
Mentari and Siska had finished their first and second exams, it felt so relieved that this was the last semester for both of them. After that they will graduate after completing the final task.
"Did you say you've been picked up?"
"Not Sis, it looks like Arfan is still busy."
"How about we just take it?"
"By, come on Sis."
Arfan just dropped out of class when Mentari and Siska arrived at his usual place to teach. Arfan who saw the two of them approached the two with a face of arcingah because he did not expect that Mentari would catch up with him.
"Dear you came here?"
"Yes, I don't want to wait alone. So I'm here."
"Do you want to meet someone?" Ask Arfan to both.
"Who's Brother?"
"Wait a minute she'll be out."
Not long after, the person that Arfan was referring to dropped out of his class after finishing the exam today.
"That man!" Arfan pointed to a young man who had just dropped out of his class.
"Richo?" Call Mentari.
Riko who felt her name was called, smiled so happy to see who had just called her.
"Start, Siska are you here?"
"Yes Rik, you just finished the exam?"
"Yes, Mr. Arfan makes it very difficult." Riko chuckles at Mentari's question.
"Would it be hard or you who don't learn?" Arfan.
Riko grinned at the horse, "Father just know!"
"Rik let's go play?"
"Whenever Mentari, I want to learn for tomorrow."
"Then we say yes Rik, if you need any phone just."
"Well ready for the Mentari!"
Arfan and Mentari take Siska to her dorm before they go home because Siska has to pack up to go out of town tonight. Furthermore, Arfan brought Mentari to his parents' house because they had not visited for a long time.
"Speaking out, it's been a long time, how are you, son?"
"Is the baby healthy, son?"
"Yes well Mom, I'm sorry Mom because she rarely gets here."
"It's okay, son, the most important thing is that you're all healthy."
The two of them were only about two hours at Mentari's parents' house, they had to go home because the same with Siska they also had to prepare to go out of town immediately.
As per Arfan's promise, he will come when they make it to the final round to watch their match live. At once if they manage to win the match in the final round, there is a huge bonus from Arfan for the players.
At midnight they arrive at the hotel where the children are staying, Mentari and Siska are placed in one room while Arfan and Arman choose a room with Tomi.
"Thank you Tom, I believe you can do well."
"Don't be so Fan because I'm just doing what I can do. The kids are also very independent and compact so I don't have any trouble."
"Well Tom, then let's rest. I'm so tired of Tom."
The next morning, Arfan and the others met the children who were having breakfast. The children were shocked to discover that their boss had come to keep his word. Moreover, he did not come alone but with Mentari and the others.
"Boss you're right to come?" Dio represents his friends.
"Don't I always keep my word?"
"We're so lucky to have a boss like you."
"Now you eat first, the match is still four in the afternoon so you still have plenty of time to rest. At ten you'll meet me in the Manager's room!"
"Good boss," they answered in unison.
Arfan and the others joined in for breakfast with the kids, they joked a lot and talked about it. At that moment, Zaki and Marryana came over.
"Fan congratulations, because your team made it to the final round, hopefully today played well and can win to represent our country to the Asian level tournament!"
"Thank you Za for the do'a and the support!"
"Congratulations Fan, I'm so happy. Don't forget that morning, okay?" Marryana slightly insinuated Arfan.
The mentor who was curious about Marryana's intentions finally asked, "Sister Marry what happened?"
"You haven't told your wife Fan?"
Mentari looked towards Arfan, "Is there a secret that Big Brother is hiding from me?"
"Let me tell ya, now we're focusing on the kids' game first baby."
Mentari chose to dampen his curiosity, because if continued maybe he could make the concentration of children split.
Marryana and Zaki resigned, they will watch the final before they will return to the club tonight. Today they will take the children for a walk so that they feel happy.
"Are you not supposed to get married soon?" Arfan's Temptation to Zaki and Marryana.
"Speaking what you're Fan, we're just friends. But we're gone first!" Zaki walked away from Arfan who was deliberately fishing for him.
"Just wish it were Fan!" said Marryana before catching up with Zaki who had walked first.
Arfan sat back down for breakfast with the kids with Mentari by his side, Arfan feeling so comfortable this morning that he could have breakfast ravenously like never before.
They finished the breakfast this morning, Mentari and Siska chose to go around together while Arfan and the others discussed the strategy they would implement, they would meet the children at ten, later, so there's still about two hours to have a discussion.
"You guys be careful playing, don't go far!" arfan's Message to Mentari and Siska.
"Sir, we'll be careful."
After the two leave, Arfan walks into Tomi's room and discusses the last few games the boys have played, including their ups and downs. Do not forget Arfan to analyze the strength of the opposing team by looking at the strategies that their coach applies and also which players are worth suspecting.
"Fan don't you see if they're a very tough team?" Arman breaks the tension between them.
"Whatever a team is tough, of course they have shortcomings, right?"
"It's our job to figure out what weaknesses they have, so we can set the strategy."
"You're right Fan, at times like this as a manager I need another opinion so I don't make the wrong decision."
"Tom how about we play with this strategy?" Arfan gave a match chart to Tomi.
"Fan isn't that our playing strategy when we make it into the national championship?"
"You still remember him Man?"
"How can I not remember Fan, that day was the last day we played together on the field."
Arfan took a breath, his chest still felt tight if he remembered the past. Now that he can get his team back into the national championship then he will not waste this opportunity.
"Well let's do it and repeat it again!"
