The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
11. Beautiful view of Sunday

David gave a big box to me. I don't know what the box is. I accepted it and asked David about the contents of the box.

"What's this?" The box he handed to me. But I don't know what's inside.

"Open it, who knows you like it" David said as he threw a smile at me. I slowly opened it, and my eyes were shocked to find out the contents of the box.

"Wahhhh, this crazy vid football boots" My hands trembled as I opened the box and it turned out to be the contents of the football boots. My eyes sparkled with happiness staring at those red shoes.

"This for me? " Tanyaku with astonishment, because these shoes seem expensive.

David just nodded as a sign that these shoes were right for me. This time God was really good, not only the ball was given but the shoes also reached my hands through David.

It feels complete already when my ball game already has football boots. Usually I only use school shoes or use sandals only for training. But this time I'm going to use football boots like a great footballer.

"You try it, who knows it" I tried it with pleasure. David helped me to wear my football boots properly and correctly. Inside the cardboard is also complete with socks and deker as shin guards.

"Where's key, how good are the shoes? "

"Hehehe, his shoes are oversized anyway vid. But it's okay I can handle it really" While shaking the shoes are too big and not fit with my feet.

"I'm sorry, key, because I don't know the size of your feet" David said as if he felt guilty for giving the shoes are too big. I didn't pay attention to that because he was so good to me and always supported me by giving the ball and these good shoes.

"No vid, I should have apologized to you for causing trouble. I promise you that when I have the money, I'll replace everything you've given me"

"Don't key, you play the ball well enough I'm happy" David gave me spirit and continued to give me positive energy.

He also said that his grandfather had a football shop overseas so he could get that shot easily. Actually I'm embarrassed to be given something by David. I also promised myself that if I had a lot of money, I would replace all of David's money.

"Yaudah, let's try on your shoes, don't be dumb" David pulled my hand to the spaciousness and trained in new shoes. Though I still look and stare at these shoes, I can't believe it because I'm wearing expensive shoes.

I followed him while carrying the ball that was located inside the bag. This time my football equipment was very good, David again taught me about some skills in the ball until I became able and used to it.

At first I was still in trouble because I had only first used these football boots. Moreover, his shoes are oversize and troublesome when used for running. My brain was looking for a way to comfortably wear shoes.

For a moment I thought then opened the socks and put them into the shoes as a booster so that the shoes fit and comfortable when used.

We played comfortably, passing between one leg to the other. The skill taught by David I have followed even though not completely. I enjoy the game David taught me. Slowly by slowly I have balanced it even though David's skill is above average.

While I was still far below David and waited a lot of time to strengthen the beautiful and good skills like David. We played until we forgot the time. Dusk greeted us again and we stopped the game and rushed home.

As usual, David drove me home. Boned with a bicycle following the twilight groove that suddenly disappeared. And I always stop right at the crossroads of my village because I don't want David to know my house.

Though he often said he wanted to know the house that I live in today but always the words from my mouth refused him to. Not because I don't want to receive guests, but because I don't want to tell you about my house. Because there are many evil neighbors' mouths there.

"Be careful on the road vid"

"Ready key" I waved as a sign of farewell with him. Then I walked back under the dim lights that lit the way to my house. Open the door and prepare to clean yourself.

Put the ball and shoes on top of the wardrobe. Noticing it turned out to be beautiful as well, lying side by side between the shoes and the ball filling each other. But what was not beautiful was the wall of my quiet room. There is not a single picture hanging on the beautiful walls. Only empty plains without any decoration. Because the photos I just keep in the old album that I made myself.

My tired body is now lying on a small bed. Bobo became my bedmate every night. For a moment this view stared at the ceiling of the room that many Spider Nests had. The worn paint began to peel off little by little.

Every day I look at the one sleeping underneath. Without him noticing, I also looked at him when thinking of something that clumps in the brain. Sometimes speaking on the wall, sometimes speaking aimlessly as a listener to give mute advice. But that's all I do because it's lonely haunting.

One morning again appeared orange rays from the eastern horizon. Forcing me to wake up enjoying the day with fresh air. A beautiful Sunday morning I was calm to relax in peace. But when I came out of the room, there wasn't a mother I could find.

Lately, I've never been home in the morning. He usually comes and sleeps in his room. But the room was empty there was only a pillow as a tired booster mother. Even though mom came home late, but she did not bring empty hands. Sometimes carrying rice, sometimes carrying eggs, sometimes carrying other food.

If you do not have time to buy groceries, you will leave money on the table and the next day I shop. But nowadays the ingredients are always there, I always cook them and mom rarely eats them.

At least just a gaze in 1 to 3 hours, after that mom was gone. Or even that gaze will not exist because the mother still woke up in her lethargic sleep from last night's work.

\*klek\* opens the door in the morning which is so convenient. Cold air that is still clean is not mixed by prayer people like me. Breathing in the air of God is always available and will never be endless.

"Suakannlah, cool air every morning.beautiful not playing, maybe this is a little picture of heaven in the world. God gave me a chance to welcome him this morning" I muttered on the porch.

My Netra pored along the way, around every corner to the rice fields. It is beautiful not to play, then what else should we complain if God has provided in the world such a good place for his people. It's just that his people sometimes still lack gratitude like me.

I went into the house to get the ball and the shoes. Practice in the yard of a house that is still cool accompanied by morning dew drops. Counting sports to flex rigid muscular-authority. Trying to recall the games and skills taught by David.

It only takes some wood that I use as an opponent's parable. Practice like a professional footballer but only use makeshift equipment. True said the old grandfather, it does not need what is desired but only need intention, and effort and then interspersed by prayer to the Creator of nature.

Play with fun even with wood, then the walls and stones that become friends. Mentari also enjoyed the game that I presented. Don't compare me to ronaldo, the world player, to David's game, I'm still nothing.

But it never hurts to continue to confidently try existing abilities. Fail to rise again, and whatever it is not to be discouraged.

"It turns out tired also yah play alone, but cool anyway because it can train a good way to play" muttered, talking to myself who witnessed the weeds were sitting.i. Then I lay this body on top of them. Just let them feel the smells from my dripping sweat.

At least it's sweat struggle hehehe. After a long period of sweating, I hurried to clean myself up. There's no agenda I make on holidays. It's just that I'll do what I want.

Move where the foot steps as long as I'm happy. But this time I want to get out of hiding. Flying towards the vast city, flapping the wings that I had been keeping all this time. But I don't have a vehicle and there's no money. Just a few sheets I keep in my savings and it won't be enough if I explore a city full of mystery, I think.

"Bored, confused and wanting to go to town but no money" I've never been around my hometown. I was just walking around in my village. Beautiful like a jewel, actually I am like other children who also want to see the outside world. But unfortunately it is very difficult to get out of the village, my costs and courage are not strong if alone.

If only father and mother had not separated, I would have whined at them to take the streets to the city. Enjoying the atmosphere of the city that I never touched. Learning about the city and whatever it was at least I saw what was in the city but nothing in my village.

"Is it time for me to relax? But I don't relax" Speaking in front of the mirror, bobo and other things in the house. If they could talk, they would probably think me crazy.

Yapsss, exactly crazy and crazy. Going out to the rice fields to enjoy the birds that are busy eating rice, making sangakar, flying around the clouds or even caring for their children.

The next step is to go to the rice fields. Although the sun was waiting but still not above the head. I went around to the rice fields planted with rice, corn, chili and there were still some plants that were. Beautiful and cool, no pollution coming in. There's just fresh air without air cops like on the streets.

"The atmosphere is fresh, pampering my eyes. The rice fields are beautiful, and the rice has started to turn yellow" I murmured when I reached the rice field.

Look at the rice getting lower because the contents are already a lot. Likewise, the actual proverb means that people who have a lot of food science will be more silent and bowed.

One day I will do so, if I have become a great person it will be lower but will not be demeaned. Down does not mean to lose but down it indicates which one is knowledgeable and not knowledgeable at all.

My gaze was also fixed on the chili-chili there. Beautiful not to play because of the dense chili fruit and the color of red and green oceanic in one tree. Each tank has abundant chili fruit. Really will be rich people who sell chili because the price is currently soaring.

But what people do not know, its beautiful appearance does not guarantee it is good. Because when it has been bitten and we taste it will make our lips spiciness. Likewise with humans, do not just look at the appearance alone to see everything from inside and outside.

Because a good appearance does not guarantee his heart is also good but if the heart is good then any appearance will look better.

Passing the small road between the rice fields must be extra careful because otherwise we will fall. But if we walk on the big streets we just want to and not be careful then the ends we will be wretched because of negligence.

That is the picture of life that we must understand, as well as I who must understand about something in the world. God will not give anything to the world unless we can make it a picture of life.
