Pursuing the Love of Rhea
59. Basketball Match

The day everyone was waiting for has finally arrived. Today, precisely will be held Basketball Match that will bring together two famous SMA in Jakarta, namely Bhakti Luhur High School and Bina Utama High School.

This morning all supporters from both teams were entering the gates of Bhakti Luhur High School while carrying some attributes and banners to give spirit to their respective beloved teams.

When the atmosphere was still so crowded, a white car entered the school parking area slowly. When the car was perfectly parked, Rhea and Rafka went down simultaneously and walked to the indoor basketball court in the back building of the school.

" Rhee, wait a minute!" Rafka held Rhea's arm to stop walking. Rafka then reached into his pants pocket to look for something.

" Why bang?" Ask Rhea astonishment.

" Hape Brother missed in Rhee's car. You wait for me!" Rafka immediately turned towards the car without waiting for a response from Rhea.

Rhea could only sigh slowly when he saw Rafka's departure. After that Rhea chose to tinker with her phone while waiting for Rafka to return.

As Rhea was busy with the phone in her hand, someone came from behind and patted Rhea's shoulder gently.

" Hi, Rhee!" A guy with a friendly. The guy looks very handsome and also tall. He also wore the uniform of the Main Bina High School basketball team and threw a sweet smile to Rhea.

Rhea who was subconsciously greeted by a person, raised her head and looked at the person closely. When Rhea finally recognized the person, Rhea was immediately startled and mentioned the boy's name aloud.

" Brother Aiden!!" Rhea did not expect to meet her upperclassmen during Junior High. When Rhea realized that everyone was staring at her, Rhea immediately shut her mouth because she felt ashamed that she had made a loud noise earlier.

Aiden who saw Rhea's behavior, could only smile at the girl. Aiden also did not expect to be reunited with Rhea after a long time. Rhea is the girl who once stopped in Aiden's heart when they were both sitting on the bench of Junior High. Although they never dated, Aiden at least once expressed feelings for the girl. So Aiden has no remorse despite his love for Rhea.

" It turns out that Lo is the son of Bhakti Luhur huh Rhee? How's Lo doing now?" Aiden watched Rhea closely. Making Rhea a little misbehaving with Aiden's gaze on her.

" I'm good news, brother. I am in school here. Brother Aiden Bina Utama's son huh?" Rhea also noticed the uniform Aiden was wearing at the moment while smiling awkwardly. "Keep Aiden how are you? It's more cool now."

Rhea tried to cover up her nervousness by trying to be relaxed like an old friend to Aiden. Rhea did not want their conversation this time to be awkward and made Rhea not feel good to Aiden because she had once rejected the feelings of the man.

" You can just Rhee. Thanks for saying I'm cool." Aiden smiled very sweetly as he looked at Rhea. Aiden also felt happy because Rhea did not keep a distance with her at the moment.

" Whoi...Den! The chunky!" A couple of guys who were wearing the same uniform as Aiden, called the guy out loud. They continued to notice the interaction between Rhea and Aiden. But since they had grown tired of waiting, so they ended up calling the Basketball Team Captain to come back soon.

" Step!" Aiden gave a death look to all his basketball team members so they all ended up keeping their mouths shut and then stood up sweetly to wait for Aiden to come. After that, Aiden looked back at Rhea gently and then said goodbye to the girl.

" Sorry yes Rhee, I have to join them again." Aiden said unkindly. Actually Aiden did not want to stop chatting with Rhea. But because today he will compete, so Aiden and his teammates must prepare first before the game starts.

" Yes, it's okay, brother." Rhea was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief because she no longer needed to bother thinking about what she should talk to Aiden about.

" Btw, can I not ask Rhee for Lo's number? If not, that's okay too. I don't make it." Aiden said awkwardly. Aiden was currently trying his luck to get back near Rhea. If the girl gave me her phone number, it meant there was still a chance for Aiden. But if the girl refuses, it means she has to undo the intention to get close to the girl again.

" Hmm.sorry sis. I have a boyfriend. So I'm not..." Rhea's speech was suddenly cut off by Aiden quickly.

" It's no problem Rhee. I-i understand. I guess we weren't friends before. But before the Kuningan curls, Lo can I still stab Rhee? Hehe.." Aiden tried to cover up his disappointment by teasing Rhea a little and then chuckled in front of the girl.

" Well, there are no cute girls in the Main Building?" Rhea tried to melt the atmosphere by mocking Aiden.

" That's a lot of Rhee's cute, but my heart has already been hit by the same pellet Lo!" Said Aiden again. Making Rhea immediately speechless listening to Aiden's words earlier.

Aiden who realized his own words, scratched his head that did not itch because he felt he had spoken wrongly to Rhea.

" I'm kidding Rhee! Seriously very." Aiden bowed his body slightly forward then poked Rhea's nose at a glance. When she gets an unusual treatment from Aiden, Rhea freezes and does not respond to Aiden's words at all.

" I'll unplug it first, Rhee. Don't forget to give me the spirit to match later." Aiden immediately turned around after winking one eye at Rhea. Then Aiden immediately went to his friends who had been waiting for him since then and led them all into the school environment Bhakti Luhur High School.

After Aiden's departure, Rhea could only look at the boy's back with an erratic feeling. When Rhea recalled what Aiden said earlier, Rhea could only sigh slowly. Rhea hopes Aiden can get a better girl than her.

" What are you doing with Rhee?" Ask Rafka astonishment. Rafka saw his sister looking pensive while looking straight ahead.

" I didn't want to bang, but I thought of something again. Where the hell is my brother from? Take a really long hape sampe." Say Rhea with ketus. Rhea had been waiting for Rafka for a long time, until she finally met Aiden by accident.

" Sorry yes deck, that's Abang nerima phone first from temen." Rafka smiled shyly as she looked at Rhea who was still putting on a sullen look at her.

" Tell me a phone call from my girlfriend. Pake lied all over again. Bummer." Rhea stomped her feet hard, then she left Rafka alone.

" Waitin Brother Rhee! You really don't lie." Rafka immediately followed Rhea from behind. After successfully walking beside Rhea, Rafka immediately grabbed her sister's shoulder so that the two of them walked together towards the school basketball court.

" Whoa..rame really!" Rhea was amazed when he entered the indoor basketball court of Bhakti Luhur High School which began to crowded with supporters of both teams. They all seemed to be getting ready in the stands to shout out encouraging yells for the men's basketball team that was about to compete in a moment.

" Rhea...!!" Shasa and Bibi compactly called Rhea's name out loud because the atmosphere on the edge of the field was so crowded and quite noisy. The two of them had already taken a very strategic seat in order to be able to watch the match comfortably and without any hindrance at all.

As Rhea looked towards the stands, it turned out that Shasa and Aunt were the ones calling her. In a hurry Rhea immediately approached the two while holding Rafka's arm so that the two of them did not separate as they walked towards Shasa's seat and Aunt.

" I'm long because I wait for someone who is busy calling his girlfriend. So I'm late." Rhea glanced at Rafka cynically for making herself almost late to watch the basketball team game this time.

" So you're really calling Rhee! Not girlfriend!" Rafka said firmly while glancing at Shasa who looked indifferent as she looked at him.

" It's up to you." Rhea rolled her eyes puffed up while talking to Rafka. Rhea is too lazy to argue with Rafka at the moment.

" Rhee, the female basketball team member is sitting there! Go join them! Get ready for the match." Bibi pointed to several members of the women's basketball team who had gathered on the sidelines together with Mr. Hendrik.

" Oh yeah. I went there first, guys. I can nitip bang Rafka, right? Please take care!" Rhea glanced at Shasa at a glance then blinked one eye to tease her best friend.

Shasa, who was very familiar with the Rhea code, chose not to answer the words of his best friend. While Bibi was immediately excited when Rhea offered his brother who looked very handsome to guard.

" Look down, Rhee, I'll keep Abang Lo safe. Most importantly now, you have to win the game today. Okay?" Said Aunt in a coquettish tone while smiling excitedly at Rhea.

Rafka who was standing next to Rhea suddenly felt amused at the sight of Aunt's expression as well as her coquettish style of speech. Rafka felt like he wanted to leave the place, but because Rafka saw there was Shasa there, so he undoed his intention.

" okay. I pull ya! Nye.." Rhea waved her hands at Rafka, Shasa and Bibi cheerfully, then immediately approached her friends who had gathered with Hendrik on the sidelines.

" Hi Sha! You how are you?" Rafka glanced at Shasa who was sitting quietly beside her then started to open up the chatter as she was already sitting next to the girl.

" Hey too Bang. Good news, how's your brother?" Shasa tried to act as if nothing had happened to Rafka before.

" Bad News is good too. How come you rarely go to Sha's house? Are you still angry with your brother because of the incident at that time?" Rafka asked curiously while looking at Shasa who looked a little surprised by the question Rafka had asked earlier.

" I'm not angry. Some days I'm busy with schoolwork, so I rarely go to my brother's house." Shasa said calmly with a smile. Shasa had prepared excuses in advance in anticipation of Rafka's question today.

" Oh, it's good that way." Rafka nods her head and says nothing more as Shasa also looks reluctant to talk to her.

They both ended up busy with their own thoughts until the basketball game began.

" Hey Fi! Where's Gavin?" Aiden approached Dhafi on the sidelines before the match began. They are both quite familiar because they often meet at every basketball game between schools or just a match in the park of their housing complex.

" Gavin is out of the team." Dhafi said with a joke. Dhafi is currently sitting with his team-mates waiting for the match to start.

" Oh.good if so. See you at Fi's. I won't feel sorry for you later." Aiden raised the corner of his lips before turning around to leave Dhafi and his friends.

" I don't need your mercy!" Shouted Dhafi loudly. Dhafi is determined to prove to Aiden that his team can win even though Gavin is out of their basketball team.

****

Finally a long Pluit from the referee sounded in the middle of the field. The two basketball teams are currently busy attacking each other to get points in order to win.

Dhafi, who captained the basketball team representing Bhakti Luhur High School, ran several strategies so that the orange ball could not be captured easily by the opposing team.

The captain of Bina Utama High School basketball team, Aiden, must work extra with his team members in order to penetrate the defense of the Dhafi team that is so strong.

Until the first round is over, Bhakti Luhur High School basketball team gets points superior to Bina Utama basketball team. While Dhafi was still in the middle of the field, he looked down at Aiden trivially while throwing a mocking smile at his opponent.

' Fuckin' murmured Aiden slowly. Aiden could only clench his fists as he returned Dhafi's gaze. It turned out that Aiden had wrongly underestimated the ability of Dhafi's team earlier. Although Gavin did not join them, but the Bhakti Luhur High School basketball team remains solid and tough at this time.

Until the next round began, the Bhakti Luhur High School basketball team still dominated the game with a variety of amazing shooting techniques from each member.

The current example, Dhafi who was holding the ball smoothly passed each player from Main Bina High School and immediately did a lay-up shoot and managed to score 2 points for Bhakti Luhur High School team.

Alex and Azka also do not want to lose to show their respective skills. They were both able to add points to Bhakti Luhur High School team and make Bina Utama High School points lag far behind.

Until the game is over, Bina Utama High School team must finally recognize the superiority of Bhakti Luhur High School team. Although this match was only a friendly match, it still made the Bina Utama High School team quite disappointed because it was defeated again by their old rivals.

Meanwhile, Bhakti Luhur High School basketball team celebrated their victory with great joy. They all compactly raised Dhafi, then threw him into the air as a euphoric form of their joy today.

After being satisfied with the excitement, Bhakti Luhur High School basketball team did not forget to visit the opposing basketball team to give them all a friendly greeting. Dhafi and Aiden, who are captains of each team's basketball team, shook hands and shook hands with the rest of the team.

" Security for his victory. Sorry I underestimated all of you." Aiden said sincerely while shaking hands with Dhafi.

" It's okay. See you at the next game." Dhafi returned Aiden's hand and smiled at his opponent.

After they finished shaking hands, they all left the field and re-assembled to watch the women's basketball team match that will be held in a moment.
