The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
115. Escape To Next Round

The decision has been made after the coach jaka, the coaches and managers have a meeting on this issue. And in the end Rani was forcibly repatriated as a deterrent effect because she had already committed a bad offense.

I didn't want this to happen, so I hid it all. But why coach Jaka still knows all the things Rani does. Then who's behind all this.

"Key, alone" Ani came to me as I sat in the garden alone contemplating what had happened to Rani.

"Any aja Ani, my head is still dizzy thinking about this problem" said my heart lethargic and looked back in all directions.

"You don't have to feel guilty, because that's all the wrongs he did himself" I looked at Ani questioningly.

Then why does he know that, while Rani's problem no one knows except me and the coaches.

"You mean, Rani? "

"Yes, he. I complained to everyone" I was surprised by the statement expressed by Ani.

I don't know what to say because it's all out of my mind. I was stunned for a moment after hearing her statement.

"Why are you doing that? " I flinched him in annoyance. Because Ani did things she shouldn't have done. I don't know what else he's thinking until he's desperate for all this.

"Because he's been harming you"

"But not with this Ani, because you're Rani out of the club" the debate begins to heat up. I blame Ani for doing things without thinking for both of you.

"Why defend him, and he never asks you. He always wanted to destroy you. You're stupid or whatever Key is, just so you know what he did almost hurt your life" He forgot all that he had in his head to me.

"But this isn't the way to punish him, I know he's wrong. But at least we have to give him a chance to get better" I keep saying to give Ani understanding.

My little talk softened on him so that he understood what should be done and what should not be done.

"While you say Key" Ani was angry with me.

She felt that I was defending Rani and not supporting the deeds she wanted. And I just wanted to give him an explanation that crime shouldn't be treated as evil either.

But Ani continued to say that Rani's actions could not be forgiven. He said he almost lost a friend like me, because of Rani who kept doing bad things to me. Ani knew all that because she was so close to me.

"Please understand Ani, I don't want you to do this. And I didn't defend him Ani either" I explained, but he sulked.

"Here you go, I've been lazy" Ani just left and left me.

You could say without Ani at the club then I'm lonely, and vice versa without me at the club then Ani will be lonely. We complement each other. But today we made a misunderstanding.

Upon arriving at the room, Ani kept quiet and did not reprimand me as usual. I kept quiet and thought about things for a moment, maybe it was my fault that scolded her. If you look from the side of a friend, no one wants if one of his best friends is hurt by others even almost lost his life.

"You two why the hell, just quietly daritadi" said Ira who saw the strangeness in both of us.

Unlike usual we were silent, because in the room always just do funny things before going to bed. But now it's suddenly quiet.

"Eyeah... " I called him but he didn't look.

I tried repeatedly to apologize to Ani, but she always refused. That refusal made me always feel guilty for scolding Ani. Maybe I should shut up for a while to explain better to her.

I also felt guilty for yelling at him earlier. Makes Ani even higher when talking to me. I'd better sleep in a night of mistakes, let tomorrow calm down to the game.

The preparations for the match had already begun, but to this day Ani was still silent and would not speak to me. So was I who always apologized to him but he chose to avoid. Maybe he felt that I had gone too far to scold him yesterday.

"Keyla, today you will be captain in this match" said coach Jaka during his time in the dressing room. He gave me responsibility.

"No coach, I'm not a great leader yet. Sometimes I'm still emotionally wrapped up" Sahutku refused politely.

Because in every match my emotions are sometimes good and sometimes also bad when I have a very hard opponent team offense. I was afraid I couldn't be a good example for the team, so I decided to give Ani the armband.

"It's better that the armband is given to Ani coach, because I think his emotions are quite stable and good governance for the team" I told the coach.

"Alright, I will consider again" Sahut coach Jaka told me.

Not because he's a good friend of mine in this team, but because I believe that he is able to calm down and lead the team well. Likewise with coach Jaka who finally agreed with my opinion to give the armband to Ani.

The game starts, today is the last game. If we win, we will be in the quarter-finals. If we lose we will still enter the quarter-finals because we are runners-up as a group. At least we can fight a draw or can win.

\*pritt\* the long whistle of the first half has begun. We fought desperately to get 3 points in this last game. Whatever the reason we have to fight and calm the game.

The formation in midfield and up front has been changed. Because Rani this time did not play and has changed with other midfielders. Apparently this time the game is organized according to the instructions of coach Jaka.

"Well, ride hey" Despite following the coach's instructions, Jaka's shout was heard for our reminder to stay up and fight.

We scored in the 35th minute. The temporary win from our home was 1-0. This will make the opposing team play like a tiger. He always preys and plays hard and hurts opponents.

\*buk\*

"Aaaaa" Ani was lying with her feet in pain. I'll approach her soon.

Ani is on a hard tackel and her legs are stepped on by the opposing team. At that moment my emotions began to move and out without direction. I snapped at him and held onto his collar while pushing him.

"What do you mean, you want to break his leg" My emotions ran through the crown.

How not if a friend who is very close to me is hurt to moan in pain. And now he's lying around holding his leg.

"Key quiet Key, calm down"

"Where's your eye, see if he's fallen but you're still stepping on" Clash back hard while pushing him. But his face still felt innocent.

The referee's whistle tried to separate. I tried to calm down and help Ani to call the medical team to get treatment immediately. Ani had to be replaced because he could not continue the game.

Fortunately, he was only sprained and injured because of the traces of stepped on from the opposing player. He was stretchered off the field, his gaze paled to me like saying that this was painful.

"Calm down, man, you're fine. Be patient and your feet will heal" I said, encouraging him. I can't bear to see it that way.

"What sit, what's my fault" he was angry at the referee who gave him the red card. He still does not accept the decision of the referee.

"Your fault, stepped on my friend intentionally" I said as I gestured to look me in the eye.

Then the match started again, this time the armband was in Rika's hands. I don't want to hold the captain's armband because I still can't control my emotions like that.

The game was played again and we took advantage of the opportunity because the opposing team got a red card so it had to play with 10 people.

"Gollllll" Shouts of the goal came back from across our support.

The first round match was again excited with 2 goals that we added. And in the second half we added the goal back until the final score was 5-0 victory for our team.

Everyone was ecstatic, while I chose to shut up and told Ani to return to the dressing room. Because his legs can not currently be used for the road and require more care.

"Come on" Invite me wholeheartedly to help her walk.

"Let's go" Ira also came to meet Ani. Even if we were still fighting but I wouldn't let him get sick alone.

"Thank you, it helped me" he opened the conversation as he walked slowly to the dressing room, while the other friend was cool to feel the victory with a cheerful cheer back today.

"I'm sorry, Key, because of yesterday" he told me.

"That's it, let's go" We all returned to the inn happily. Ani had to be taken to the hospital for better treatment.

I returned to the room with Ira while laughing happily. But actually my heart is still worried about Ani's condition. I'm afraid there's a bad ham on his leg.

"Key, don't look at me" Ira said as she looked at me, who was still staring at one point.

"Oh yes, what's wrong"

"I took a shower first. It's itchy"

"OK ready. Don't sleep in the bathroom"

"You can do it, hehheh"

While waiting for Ira to take a shower, I contacted my family to inform them that this time we won and made it to the semifinals. Best match I had while I was here.

What is expected is a victory to take home. Because a pride can win in a city of people. I promise you I will play well and give my ability to achieve the best.

\*tok, tok, tok\*the knock on the door rang when Ira and Ira wanted to fall asleep. I got out of bed and opened it.

"Astaghfirullah, Ani" Ira immediately stood up as I mentioned Ani's name.

Me and Ira helped Ani to sit on the bed. He said there were no injuries too bad. It's just that the swelling in his legs makes Ani unable to play in the semi-finals and also the final.

Bad news that made me fall silent with Ira. Nothing is better when we play together and win together. Ira and Ira hugged Ani to encourage her.

"You don't have to be sad. I will play well, if I score then your name will be my one" said I made Ani smile for a while and then returned moody.

Suddenly, her tears fell from both eyes that were feeling pain. Pain in him and in his feet. The game at the end is the dream of the entire player. Moreover, the final will always be a dream to score there in order to be known.

"Not crying. Me and Ira will fight for us to win"

"Yes Ani, right said key. I will fight to win" Ira continued and tried to make Ani's heart calm.

"Isn't our victory also your victory? " Ani nodded with my question.

Because in the ball is to play as a group not as individuals. Individuals themselves are a game about the skills that great coaches have to look at.

"I'll make you feel the coolness in the field, even if you sit on the bench" Ani cried loudly. He hugged me and Ira. Feel the happiness because Ira and Ira made his spirit back even though he could not play in the final game.

A clear morning, the birds are in their nests. Ira and Ira took Ani for a walk to enjoy a sunny morning. We were given the freedom today to shop and stroll outside the inn.

"I ride what? " Task Ani who was confused because of her aching leg.

"Just relax, Ira and Ira have everything ready" I and Ira have borrowed the wheelchair that is in this inn. This made it easier for us to take Ani for a walk.

"Kok can, yesterday why not there" He was surprised because last night he was walking on the street by the coach and no one offered him a wheelchair.

"Because it's night, maybe the wheelchair's sleeping times"

"Hahahhahah" The laughter of the three of us was still the same. Both crazy and funny.

We enjoyed the morning sun. A gust of fresh air surrounds the dew that is in contact with the grass. The three of us went shopping at the nearest store.
