Sharing Love: Winning Without Love
Dramatic Meeting
City of Manchester - England
Almost two months of running time. Gradually Khaira began to adapt to his presence in the city of Manchester.
Not only with culture and language, but also adapt to the food there and of course the weather. At the end of this year, England will enter winter until the winter. Khaira who previously lived in the Equatorial zone for the first time will feel snow.
In fact Khaira had a special reason why he was looking for a scholarship and chose the City of Manchester. The first is indeed for college because the educational base at Manchester of University is very good. The second is because Khaira loves football. His love for Manchester United rounded off his determination to stay temporarily in the city. The dream of watching a football match live at Old Trafford (the Manchester United stadium) made Khaira come all the way to this city.
In college, Khaira started college. Khaira also made new friends at Manchester University. There is Tina - Indian girl, Adam Indonesian who lives in Singapore, and Mark is a Londoner who studied in Manchester.
The four began to make friends from the first day of college.
"Where do you want to go after college? (where did you go after college?" tina, Adam, and Mark asked Khaira.
"I want to go back home. (I will return home)" replied Khaira.
"Where are you going this afternoon? (Where are you going this afternoon?) ask Adam to Khaira.
"As usual, I'm going to watch the football match. (As usual, I will see a football match.)" replied Khaira.
(Further conversation they will use Indonesian directly, let's just say I translate 🥰)
"You always spend the weekend watching football. Go date. Choose one of the handsome guys in our college." Adam said with a look of annoyance because Khaira had only been in college and at the weekend he only spent watching football.
"You're quiet. I can't date anyone. I am a married girl." replied Khaira.
Yes, even far from her husband and family Khaira remains aware of her position and position. She is someone's wife. After all, as far as he went, the marriage relationship that bound the two was still and there was no word of divorce that broke the relationship between the two.
All three of Khaira's friends laugh, for those of Khaira's age are still very young to be tied up in a marriage relationship. Especially abroad, they are free to live with their lovers like husband and wife without marriage.
"I just stayed in an apartment with my girlfriend no problem. We are not even married" said Mark, who is a native of London, of course free life is very reasonable there. However, all that does not apply to Khaira who comes from Indonesia, a state that upholds decency.
"Hush still. Don't bother Khaira. Let him go home. Don't equate yourself with Khaira, we Indonesians have our own viewpoint on marriage" Adam opened your mouth again.
"All right, I'm going. Bye all." Khaira chose to leave her three friends.
Walking along the streets of Manchester, Khaira walks quietly. The cold air that pierced the body made the day feel cloudy and foggy. Even though he has been wearing a coat, syall, and hand t-shirt but the cold felt is still felt to the body.
In his apartment, Khaira immediately warms his room with a room heater (an electric room heater that can keep the room temperature hot in winter), then he throws himself into his warm bed.
The girl chose to take a nap, before later in the afternoon she will visit Old Trafford Stadium to watch the football match of her favorite club, Manchester United.
***
The afternoon at Old Trafford Stadium which has the nickname Theatre of Dreams, because as long as the club from Manchester and the splendor of the stadium, makes all clubs want to feel the atmosphere of playing at Old Trafford.
Khaira was in the stands joined by the other spectators who saw the match that afternoon. Various chants songs were shouted by the audience during the match.
Glory, glory Man United
Glory, glory Man United
Glory, glory Man United
Khaira sang the support song. Yes, watching football like this can always make Khaira forget all the burdens in her life. Watching his favorite club with his eyes in person has been a dream of Khaira since childhood. And now, his dream has come true. He can stand in the stands, watch the Manchester United game live.
Khaira too late happiness because his favorite club won the game that afternoon.
However, there was a pair of eyes observing Khaira from the moment the match started. Highlight the eyes that were only on Khaira.
When the game was over, Khaira chose to sit down. He waited until the crowd was out, then he would come out of the stadium.
The girl just sat down, as soon as the match was over it was also a happy feeling that a few minutes before she felt.
When he began to stand, he turned back. Her net met a pair of netra who for almost 2 hours watched her from behind.
Deg.
Those eyes.
That face.
Instantly Khaira was stunned, eyes looking at her with eyes. Face to face, both dissolved in silence and mind respectively. Many flavors are left in the look of both eyes.
The owner of the net as dark as that night stepped down over the steps of the stadium stands. Eroding the distance between himself and Khaira.
"Hello Khaira's. Long time no see." he said while giving a smile to Khaira.
While Khaira was silent, she froze in the middle of winter. Even his tongue felt funny.
"Mas Radit." he said in his heart, but his mouth and tongue were utterly speechless.
"It's me, Khai... Radite...." Silent moment. "I'm coming for you, Khai."
The man stepped more and more, both of his hands slightly outstretched wanting to carry the girl's body in the embrace.
Dramatic meeting, Radit turned out to really follow Khaira to Manchester, England. And it was at the Dream Theater that the two met again after almost 2 months.
As soon as Radit wanted to hug her, Khaira immediately dodged. He walked Radit out of the stadium. However, some of her tears had apparently fallen in the corner of her eyes. His heart was always unkempt.
"Oh my God, is this a dream? Why should I meet him, God." With a feeling of anger Khaira chose to continue walking.
Radit was still following Khaira from behind. He chose to continue to follow where Khaira went.
"Khaira, I'm coming for you Khai... I came here to apologize to you directly," he said as he continued to follow Khaira's footsteps.
Anxious because it continued to be followed, Khaira finally stopped her steps. "Mas Radit just go home. Please, don't get me stuck in an uncertain situation. Let's just say there's no connection between the two of us."
"No Khai, I'll stay here. I will follow you, I will wait for you, until you forgive me. You can tell me to go, but I'm not going anywhere."
