Pursuing the Love of Rhea
33. The Women's Basketball Team

" Good morning Dad...morning Bund!!" Rhea said happily as she approached Father and Mother who were already sitting at the dining table.

" Good morning too!" answer Father and Mother compact.

" Bang Rafka where's the Bund?" Ask Rhea to Mother who did not find the existence of the current Rafka bang at the dining table.

" It's coming down soon too. How did this beautiful mother's child grow up in her brother?" Ask the mother curious. Usually Rhea would be more happy if not meet with Rafka at home, because they both always do not get along when they meet.

" I'd like to ask for antherin to go to school, because today I'm going to basketball practice." Clearly Rhea on Mother Citra while enjoying breakfast toast chocolate her favorite.

" Didn't Gavin pick you up?" Now the father who opened his voice, because not usually Gavin will be absent to pick up his daughter.

" His sister Gavin has important business, so she can't anterin me." Rhea answered honestly to Adinata's father while putting on a slightly sullen face.

Father who did not want to ask a lot more questions, just nodded his head to understand and then continued to drink the coffee that has been prepared this morning.

" You've been taking your multivitamin that you loved yesterday, haven't you Rhee?" Ask Mommy to make sure while squinting suspicious eyes at Rhea. Mother does not want Rhea to forget her promise to regularly take multivitamins and supplements that help maintain the health of the body Rhea.

" I've been drinking! The oath!" Rhea raised her finger to form the letter V so that Mother would believe what Rhea said.

" Yes, that's it! But beware of lying!" Mother looked at Rhea seriously so that Rhea would really do what Mother told her to do.

" I'm not gonna lie, my beautiful mother!" Rhea blinked her eyes flirtatiously to tease Mother Citra.

" Don't be flirtatious, you won't be tempted!" Said Mother pretending to be indifferent.

" If Dad is like that, can you be tempted?" Tanya Rhea again teased mother Citra.

" Your father can't be your goddamn mother. The people are so cute, deketin Mommy if there is a want!" Mommy said honestly while glancing at Daddy who is still busy reading something on his iPad. The father who felt his name was mentioned, immediately stopped his activities.

" Mom wants Daddy to be seduced too?" Dad looked at Mother while raising his eyebrows slightly tempting Mother.

" No, I'm ashamed of my age!" Cut Mother immediately.

" Why did you say you couldn't seduce mom! That's Mommy's name again defaming Daddy." Said Dad didn't accept.

" Please on Well... The bund!! Not on the debate here! I'm dizzy with her." Rhea exhaled tired of seeing the behavior of her parents like a child.

" You're the one who started!" Say Mother and Father at the same time.

" Yes, I was wrong." Rhea said resignedly while pursing her lips irritated. "Bang Rafka don't come down?" Rhea noticed that Rafka did not show up for breakfast.

" Maybe your brother is still sleeping. It's a gini weekend he doesn't go to college." Mommy just remembered that Rafka does not have a lecture schedule every Saturday.

" If so you go with Mr. Kardi only. Dad's leaving for his golf at 9, so Mr. Kardi still has time to take you to school." Father's advice to Rhea.

" May Dad! If so, I'm leaving now, Dad...The bund!" Rhea had finished her breakfast and immediately stood up leaving the dining table. Rhea did not forget to kiss the hands of father and mother alternately. Then Rhea carrying her sports bag that contains basketball shirts and other necessities to her father's car that will be carried by Mr. Kardi.

" Rhea...Rhee..!"'s...!" Ara's cheers echoed behind Rhea's back. The girl immediately approached Rhea who had stopped her steps because her name was called earlier.

" Who did you go with?" Ask Ara curiously. He knew that Gavin had not come to pick up his best friend today.

" Back Kardi is Dad's driver. That Lo?" Ask Rhea back.

" Obinary kang Ojol." Ara answered while grinning the horse. "Gue deg - degan ni Rhee. Hopefully we can be compact playing with our seniors." Ara said a little worriedly.

" Yes, I hope so too."

The two of them finally reached the edge of the school's indoor basketball court. There is already Mr. Hendrik and other members of the Women's Basketball Team.

" You guys are finally here." Mr. Hendrik stopped his discussion activities with several members of the basketball team when he saw Rhea and Ara coming.

" I'm sorry sir!" Rhea and Ara said together.

" Yes already! Since all the members are complete, then I will first introduce to you all two new members of the basketball team." Mr. Hendrik invited Rhea and Ara to introduce themselves.

" Good morning everyone. My name is Rhea. Please help and guidance senior!" Rhea bowed her body saluting the senior

Now it was Ara's turn to take a step forward to introduce herself.

" Good morning everyone. My name is Ara. Please help and guidance as well senior. Thank you." Thank you." Ara also bowed her body in respect.

After Rhea and Ara saluted the seniors, they all shook hands to get acquainted. Until one of them catches the attention of Rhea and Ara. A girl who has a height of 170cm with a short haircut. The girl is the Captain of the Women's Basketball Team.

" I'm Flo, captain of the basketball team. I hope you two work together to make our school basketball team more successful in the future." Flo said seriously while staring at Rhea and Ara alternately.

" We're ready brother!" Rhea and Ara compact. The two of them also had the same determination as Flo mentioned earlier.

" Okay, by joining these two new members, I hope you can keep the team solid. You understand?" Ask Mr. Hendrik on all members of the basketball team.

" Ready, understand sir!" Say them simultaneously.

" Alright, let's start training!" Mr. Hendrik blew the long whistle mark at the start of today's basketball practice session.

Under the direction of Mr. Hendrik, they were all diligent and earnest in practicing basketball. They all practice some basic techniques like Dribbling, Catching & Passing, Shooting, Pivot and Rebound.

Finally after nearly two more hours had passed, they all ended the training session today.

" Okay, boys, I think today's training will be enough to get here. I hope that in the next training session, you all still maintain the teamwork as you showed earlier. Please disperse!" Mr. Hendrik then packed some of the items he brought earlier on the sidelines and immediately left all the team members who were still at home sitting on the edge of the indoor field.

" Guys, how about we hang out at the cafe first! With the arrival of a new member!" Catch one of the basketball team members.

" That's a great idea!" Saying others agree. While Rhea and Ara who are new members on the basketball team can only follow the will of their seniors.

Finally they all prepare to go to the cafe they agreed earlier. Do not forget they first change the clothes they wear today, because the clothes are filled with the smell of sweat.

*****

Currently all members of the Bhakti Luhur High School Women's Basketball Team have gathered at the Teen cafe. They all chose the cafe because of its location not so far from the school. Their service is very friendly and the price of food is also friendly in the bag making them all feel at home for a long time in the cafe.

" Rhee.that's Auntie!" Ara nudged the arm of Rhea who sat beside her and pointed to Bibi who was in charge of delivering table food to one of the customers at the cafe.

" Oh yeah. Bi..here!" Rhea called out to Auntie who was standing not far from the position they were sitting in while waving her hand towards the guy.

The aunt who felt her name on the call, turned to the side and found Rhea and Ara sitting sweetly with the rest of the basketball team. After Bibi finished delivering the food, she immediately approached Rhea and Ara's table.

" Hey Rhee...Hi Ra...hi big brother all!" I greeted everyone who was there kindly.

" Hey too!" Answer them compact. They frowned a little, because they did not know the person who greeted just now.

" it's me sister, her name is Auntie!" Rhea introduced Bibi to all the members of the basketball team and got a nodding response from all of them.

" What's going on here, Bi? But Lo said yesterday I'd be a cheerleaders for me with Ara. It's a lie Lo!" Said Rhea a little taut to Auntie.

" Sorry yes, I couldn't. Brian asked me to help him at the cafe. His staff has a sick permit. You will know for yourself if the weekend gini cafe must be the rame-rame." Said Bibi defending herself while clenching her hands in front of her chest apologizing to Rhea and Ara.

" Yes, I am forgiven! But you gotta promise me, you're gonna be our cheerleaders, if we both practice!" Ara said seriously as she looked at Aunt waiting for an answer.

" Sipp, what the hell didn't you two do." Aunty smiled happily looking at her two best friends in turn.

" Btw, have you ordered any food?" Aunt noticed the basketball team member's desk was still empty.

" It's Bi, maybe it's in the process." Answer Rhea quickly.

" Oh yeah, I'll help the others first!" Auntie got up from Rhea and Ara's desk while waving her hand with a flick to the two of them.

" That's your classmate Lo, Rhee?" Knock one of the team members on Rhea.

" Not brother, but only one generation! Why brother?" Ask Rhea curiously.

" Don't think so, a girl as good as Lo wants the same cement that half mateng. Haha..." Some of them laughed at the babble from their friend.

" Telor time use half mateng event everything!" Tapping the other team members then continued their laughter that had stopped earlier.

Rhea and Ara who heard all of their babbling, could only shut up while putting on a perfunctory smile. They couldn't possibly have laughed at Aunt who was both of their best friends.

" Lo does not have to look at people how gender is to be a friend of Lo. As long as he's sincere and wants to be friends with Lo, it's all I don't think is important." Flo said suddenly so that all of them who were laughing earlier immediately fell silent listening to the captain's words.

" Sorry yes Rhee, I don't mean ledekin temen lo!" Say one of the team members who started to tease Aunt first.

" Yes, my brother, not my father." Answer Rhea briefly. Rhea did not want to prolong this matter because she was still a new member in this team.

Secretly Rhea and Ara greatly admired Flo's thoughtful figure. Flo who is the captain of the basketball team has a very strong aura according to both of them. Although the girl is not too feminine from the outside, but at least she is not typical of girls who are too indifferent to appearance. Flo still wears thin makeup while the clothes she wears are also simple but stylish. Although her hair was cut short but it did not seem to make people doubt Flo's gender at all.

When the food has come, they compactly eat all the food greedily. Not caring about the gazes of the surrounding people, they all enjoyed the meal without the slightest jaim.

Finally after struggling with food and drink on the table for about 20 minutes, they all compactly smiled happily while stroking their stomachs of each of them who was already full. Basketball training is so intense today, making worms in their stomachs protesting for rations to be filled.

After they finished eating, they all did not forget to talk casually about their basketball game today. They also discuss other random things that make them not aware that they have all been sitting in the cafe for more than an hour.

" Guys, yuk off! It's been an hour. I'm tired, I want to rest!" Said Flo suddenly. Making them all finally wake up and nod their heads to approve Flo's proposal earlier.

Flo immediately stood up to the cashier's desk to pay for all the food they had eaten. Rhea and Ara who were feeling bad, immediately approached Flo to help pay for their food. The dining event at the cafe is actually aimed to welcome the arrival of Rhea and Ara as new members of the basketball team. So it should be the two of them who paid for all the food.

" Sister, let us pay! Rhea said to Flo who had taken out a debit card from her wallet to pay for all the food.

" No need! Consider this a treaty from me to welcome Lo both." Flo said casually and then gave the card to the cashier.

" Thank you, brother!" Said Rhea and Ara compactly while smiling happily. They both liked Flo's personality so much.

" No problem. The important thing Lo both do not make me disappointed with the game Lo in the team later." Flo's words seriously made Rhea and Ara nod their heads in understanding.

" So, brother!" The two of them smiled again and then held Flo's arms on both sides. While Flo just lying small looking at the behavior of his two new friends.

Now they are all outside the cafe to get ready to go home.

" I unplug first, guys! If anyone wants to take a ride to my car!" Flo today took the car to school, so she offered a ride to a friend whose house was in Flo's direction.

" I'm so excited about Flo!" There were three girls who wanted to come with Flo in the car. While others ride each motorbike because some of them bring the motor to school.

While Rhea and Ara choose to use Ojek online to go home each.

" See you at the next rehearsal, guys!" Flo waved her hand as she was already sitting inside her car. Those who were still left in that place returned Flo's hand in pleasure.

As Flo had already left the cafe with his car, Rhea and Ara compactly smiled happily staring at the departure of their Basketball Team captain.

" Today, I'll be a fan of Flo! I swear he was cool. It was good, good attitude again. It's not wrong Mr. Hendrik chose him to be Team Captain." Ara said enthusiastically.

Rhea who agreed with Ara's words, nodded her head in order to justify it.

" I also want to be a fan of Flo!"

After a few minutes of waiting, Ojol who was waiting for Rhea and Ara finally came too. Before riding the bike they do not forget to wear a helmet first. When they have climbed each other's bikes, do not forget they waved before parting ways.

Finally Rhea and Ara motorbike drove away from the cafe which was still full of visitors that afternoon, heading to their respective homes.
