The roar of the machine roared inside the Pit Box. The sounds of thumping and creaking sounded alive and busy.
A number of men in black-green uniforms complete with full-face colored helmets, clustered around the competition trail motorcycle which is also black-green numbered 666.
Elijah sat hunched over in a folding chair at the corner of the pit box, watching the men in uniform with both elbows propped up on his knees. The girl was also wearing the same wearpack—black-green. His face looks cold and flat.
It's Motocross Day.
The important day is at the top of this story.
The day on which Elijah's fate will be determined.
The time when God's promise to Elijah will be fulfilled.
But Elijah couldn't even predict what was waiting for him in the middle of the track.
He has already qualified! That's the most important thing.
He had already made it through Moto One, without any significant obstacles. Nothing suspicious during the qualifying rounds.
Nothing attracts attention!
Everything went flat like his ambition had crystallized.
Now he is ready to face Moto Two, without the turmoil of ambition, without the urgent pounding as usual.
There are no worries about the risk of defeat, no demands to prove yourself.
All he had to do was not stop. That's what Denta emphasized.
"No need to fear losing, no need to want to win. Because the job of a racer is to race." That's what Denta said. "Just do your part, the rest God's part!"
So, here it is now. Caught in a peaceful void. Waiting for the vehicle to be modified.
Occasionally, there was the sound of mumbling and metal collisions from the activities of the Pit Crew who were working. It was not uncommon to hear a crisp laugh and the cry of someone instructing something. It is not uncommon to hear them throwing jokes at each other.
Elijah just smiled faintly in response to her without interest.
Denta arrived at the circuit two hours later with his mother. Just in case, he asked Galang for help to become his personal driver for a full day. The beautiful man dropped them off in the driveway while he looked for a parking space.
Once you enter the parking area, Bugatti Masonry is automatically the center of attention. Especially Evan who is still curious about the owner of the vehicle.
He'll finally know who owns Bugatti Masonry!
He abandoned his intention to rush to the Pit Area, waiting for a moment while watching the Bugatti Masonry driver's door.
But unfortunately Evan had to be disappointed.
As soon as the glass was lowered, the look of the most pretentious family's face made him moan with disgust while twirling his eyeballs.
"Hello, handsome.." said the man waving behind the wheel while blinking one eye. Then flick her hair in a decidedly made-up elegant style, "Follow Aunt me a c u r, yuk!" godanya erect feathers. "Satisfied aunt, Aunt pay!"
"Snurvy!" evan's snort was met with another bastard's laughter on his left-right. Igun, Maha, and Devian.
The three men wore uniform wearpacks on white-gray Evan-black striped motorcycles, playing Pit Crew alongside Bang Wi who had been waiting in the Pit Area there.
Yep! Evan was the one who was going to race today.
And Elijah doesn't know yet!
And vice versa.
How could that be?
Didn't they both follow the preliminary round before?
The number of participants in the preliminary round was more than hundreds, none of the participants paying attention to the other participants.
So, in this case, the Author is not overkill!
Gilang giggled while smothering his mouth with curly fingers. Then stepped out in a dizzy motion, flicking his Hair Advertising Shampoo once more while closing the door and turning his body back to Evan, flicking his back, then walk away from the parking lot while carrying a paper bag and a black-green helmet, the same color as the car.
Evan watched over the helmet with his eyebrows intertwined. Then glanced at Bugatti Masonry with squinted eyes.
It never crossed Evan's head that the owner of Bugatti Masonry was Gilang. Even when it was clearly the Beautiful Man came out from there in front of his eyes.
Deny Darmawan does not need to disappear to protect Gilang.
Wait up! thought suddenly.
Dede-Gilang, why does it feel like Dejavu?
Where have they ever agreed on something?
Personally, the two never correspond except as... Pit Crews.
Right, he said in his heart. They had one team as Pit Crew in the past.
But in Pit Box who? Evan tried to remember.
Then his jaws tightened together a conclusion that suddenly flashed within his head-Denta!
"The Storm's coming down the track!" he said half-murm.
Maha, Devian and Igun simultaneously turned to Evan and exchanged glances.
Storm is the name of Denta's back. Evan's true rival in his prime. The time in which they were nicknamed Yin and Yang.
Storms and Thunderbolts.
It is fitting that he feels familiar with the color combination Bugatti Masonry. The masonry pattern on the wheel also feels special.
Now Evan remembers where he once saw the typical masonry pattern of the Denta motorcycle—thromol.
His heart spontaneously exploded. Finally he knew who had been keeping Elijah all this time.
Denta!
Why Denta? thought bitter.
Will Leah be with him today?
Is he here?
Lea is here!
Evan almost squanders along with his instincts to find Elijah. But Devian's voice drew him to consciousness.
"Well where did you the Storm get off the track?" ask Devian not sure.
Evan blinked and gulped, then put on a flat face. "Well that!" He pointed the helmet at Gilang's hand.
Devian spontaneously turned to Gilang and frowned.
Igun and Maha in unison followed their directions.
"He's got an ijo helmet!" Igun finally realized.
Devian and Maha simultaneously turned to Igun and were stunned.
They all know the Gilang motorcycle is predominantly red-and-white. So it's impossible to wear a green helmet if he really intends to go down to the circuit.
"And one more thing" Evan added. "Now we know why Dede has never been on the circuit!" He must have been afraid to see me, he said in his heart. Afraid to ask questions about Lea.
Everyone knows, Dede and Gilang Denta's solid team. But only Evan knows the real reason. The reason Dede disappeared was not solely due to the preparation of this competition. But because there is a heart to be guarded.
More than just a solid team, Dede is also a loyal follower of Denta. Just like Igun in Evan's camp.
"But.." Devian muttered hanging up his sentence.
Evan smiled completely. He understood the burden of Devian's feelings. "Yes" he said interjecting. "Gue also hates to talk about this, but his cake for the sake of today he risked everything" he said grimly. "Gue must be as professional as possible!" the promise. Then his eyes glazed over. He blinked and turned his face away, avoiding everyone's gaze.
Devian bowed pretending not to see.
Igun and Maha simultaneously exchanged glances.
Simultaneously, Ardian Kusuma appeared in the driveway, passed them and parked his car not far from the Black-Green Bugatti Masonry.
He stepped out and observed the car, then glanced at Evan through the corner of his eyes with a faint smile. It seems that today there will be a good show, he said in his heart.
