Ode To Latitude
Mr. Revelation and his wife

The clock is at half-seven p.m. Wahyu was enjoying his coffee while watching the Denmark Open qualifying round match which aired on one of the Danish sports websites.

"Excuse me" a voice startled Revelation who was busy setting the camera phone.

"Oh yes, please come in" said Wahyu while heading to the living room. Coincidentally the door of his house was accidentally not closed, until his wife returned to buy soy sauce at the stall.

Revelation invites Regata to the television room for not wanting to miss an ongoing badminton match.

"I'm sorry, I'm recording a badminton match for my youtube" said Wahyu base stale while telling that he helped fellow badminton lovers to be able to watch the game without the hassle of downloading a VPN.

"Who's mom, what's the matter?" ask Wahyu while occasionally looking at the comments that appear on his live streaming.

"I'm Regata, Mama Mia" Regata said slowly.

The Revelation looked at Regata for a moment. He examined Regata's face and compared it to Mia's. Not similar.

"I heard my son skipped his tutoring and practiced badminton here" asked Regata.

Revelation corrects Regata's question. Mia was training at her place. But her daughter always said her tutoring schedule was changing and she could practice without worrying about missing a student at her tutoring place.

Regata sanctions hear Revelation explanation. He was looking for lies in the man's tone and gesture. 

"If I'm honest Mia doesn't have talent in badminton" Wahyu said.

"At first I just encouraged him to train. But Mia's hard work and persistence are beginning to show. Even though his development is slow but he is not desperate and willing to learn. If his parents support me I can recommend a good badminton club, but he is still young" said Wahyu.

Regata is offended to hear the revelation that her daughter is not talented. 

Knowing what this old man was, Mia's father was one of the famous badminton players in Indonesia. If he knew, he would have drawn his words. The inner Regata is upset.

"arghhhh" cried Revelation suddenly.

Regata jumped in shock with a shout just now.

"This is one of the weaknesses of our players. Wahh needs to have an evaluation from the coach, the senior player, the service error continues" Wahyu protested.

Regata stared at the laptop screen in front of Revelation. The field is dim, the camera angle is high, and there is no chance of challenge can be ascertained this game is done in field 3, or better known as court 3. 

Regata checked his phone. He soon opened the website Badminton Word Federation (BWF) official website belonging to the international organization badminton.

He clicked on the calendar menu and popped up the ongoing match schedule. Starting party. Regata sees the list of players in court 3.

Wiryateja vs Jeremiah Delcano.

Regata returns his attention to the Revelation laptop.

"Well what to drink, my wife to the shop let me make it" asked Revelation.

Regata refused quickly, she focused on the screen. Lintang lost in the first game. *G*ame both points the opponent is superior to his point.

Regata squeezed his knee pants when Lintang managed to equalize.

Regata closed his eyes for a moment. Normalizes his heartbeat, as the 2nd game ends. 

"Rubber game" said Wahyu restored Regata's consciousness.

Regata remembers his purpose in coming to the Revelation, was to ask about Mia and ask the Revelation not to meet Mia again.

Mia must focus on her school in order to set a bright future.

Revelation agrees, he promises not to meet Mia. Revelation did not want to interfere, or seem to patronize the young mother. 

"Do not let the ambition of parents destroy the life of their children" said Wahyu cirih.

Revelation leads Regata to where Regata parked his car.

"Who has a guest?" ask Mr. Wahyu's wife in shock when he met Regata in the yard.

"This is Mia's mother" Wahyu told his wife.

"I'm Regata" Regata said.

"Still young Mama Mia. Oh yes, Mia is the most diligent student in the GOR, never late for training. I am sure I will be a successful junior athlete if the training is added" said wife Wahyu spirit.

Intentions want to boast Mia in front of Regata, which received the wife of Revelation instead of the look of shock as well as the face of 'unpleasant' Regata. 

The universal revelation gave his wife a code to stop talking, suddenly pale. He was trying to melt the atmosphere.

"hmm, it's almost eight o'clock. His mother Mia still has a duty in the hospital" said the original Revelation, he tried to stop his wife.

"What work in the hospital, pharmacist, nurse, doc…"

"I'm a Doctor buk" said Regata stopping Wahyu's wife's question.

"Mom already, Mia's mom wants to go home. Later sometime stop by if there is time" said Revelation fast.

"Let's not forget to stop by" Regata can hear the voice of Wahyu's wife as she turns her car around the intersection of the residential alley.
