The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
127. Daddy's Abroad

I went to school and I didn't talk to Adit much, only I was more familiar with him. After that my family rushed home on a cold night. It's okay that mommy gets windfall today.

Morning

"Bu key left first"

"See be careful, son"

Journey to school and take a swing for practice later in the afternoon at school to prepare for a match against a high school team who are out of town. He said to add to our experience in playing football.

"Tumben once came late"

Not too late, it's just stuck in the street" Sahutku when asked a question by Ari.

He was already in the classroom with Yuri. Ari is cool in reading textbooks and Yuri is cool in reading novels that she really likes by having a love genre.

"Key"

"Hmmm"

"So, I mean this nitip, he said it's from his father"

I took out a letter that Yuri gave me. Open it slowly and it's a letter from dad. I read it carefully, and examined what was contained in the letter. And the tumben once brother Dika did not send him alone.

\*\*\*\*

Dear keyla,

My dear son, I'm going abroad with my family tomorrow. While there are things that cannot be explained to you and there are also things that you have to do abroad. You take good care of yourself here yes, I will go home when the time comes.

Dear father Key, you must be a great and strong boy.

\*\*\*\*

"Where are you? " Tanyaku to Yuri.

"He's not going to school right now" she said quietly.

\*bluk\*

"Key, where's Key going? " I went to get the letter. I don't want them both to know that I'm getting sick.

"Aaaaaaa, why is that so. Key has just found a father and is trying to accept the circumstances of being a good boy. But why did you leave Key again"

My mouth was rummaging indistinctly in the back garden. Clear details back dripping wet the cheeks. I still don't understand why you're moving abroad tomorrow in this very short time. He didn't even meet me.

"I found Dika's sister who always protected me. But now that father brought all this happiness, all of it was a dream" muttered to himself with a sense of loneliness and sadness approaching simultaneously.

I put my whole face up staring at the sky. Hope there's a miracle so that brother Dika and father don't leave here. It's only fitting that at this hour I don't see the Dika foot motorcycle that usually parked there.

"Key, I'm sorry I'm not being honest with you" Yuri and Ari came to me.

Yuri felt guilty because she did not tell the truth. Yuri sat down and said that Dika's sister had already talked about this to Yuri 1 week earlier. But he did not dare to speak directly to me.

"Why yur, why? " my emotions are full of question marks. Yuri just kept quiet and bowed.

"Key, because this is all Dika's orders" explained Ari who tried to determine this situation.

Brother Dika is afraid that I will feel deep sadness. Moreover, his father also could not say goodbye directly. Even since then, my father rarely saw me again. I don't understand all the current circumstances.

"I'm sorry Key"

"You calm down, it's me and Yuri key"

I can't say a word. Because right now my heart is in a state of chaos. I don't blame Yuri for not knowing me about Dika's move abroad. But my heart was really disappointed in him.

I got out of my seat and went to class to calm down and take lessons. Ari and Yuri also followed because the entrance bell had already started.

The current lesson I can't digest because my brain is in a mess. Not knowing what to say, because my heart was silenced by the confusion that enveloped today. Even in my heart it is full of question marks.

\*t\*

Until school came home, I was still silent and silent. The talk of Ari and Yuri as if deaf got into my ears. I am tired of all this, I will go to Dika's sister's house after the afternoon training is over.

"I went home first huh Key" I just nodded hearing Ari's voice.

"Key, I'm sorry"

"You are not wrong Yur, go home" Without another word spoken from Yuri's lips. He immediately left me with a face that felt very guilty.

I immediately changed clothes and followed the afternoon training as usual. Whatever happens in my life, don't get carried away in the atmosphere of the ball. I have to hold back and always be professional. Because a great person will be born from someone who is diligent and diligent and professional in carrying it out.

"Key"

"Yes coach, there's something I can help you with"

I approached coach Alam when the training was over. He called me as if there was something important to talk about.

"Read" A neatly-closed letter was given to me.

My hand was busy opening it and reading every sentence while digesting the contents of the letter. My eyes were wide and surprised not to play because there was an offer from the city club for female footballers.

"Is this letter a true coach? " Natural Coach nodded.

He told me that the club wanted me to play for him. After seeing my match outside the city yesterday, they were interested in recruiting me into the women's club of this city.

"Do you want to"

I don't know how to get out of the club tarkam, because if I get into the club city then there will be many opportunities in the can to be able to play into the national team Indonesia women.

"Why Key, do you want to reject him? "

"I'm confused Coach, what about the current tarkam club. I'm still listed as a player there and my contract will run out for the next 3 months"

I told Coach Alam everything. I thought I was in a state of indecision, because on the one hand I was happy to get an invitation to join the club. But on the one hand I was confused because I was still under contract and I was only 3 months away.

"Oh that problem that makes you unable to answer this letter? " I nodded at her words.

"Just calm down, I'll take care of it all. I'm sure another month the contract will be over. Because this invitation is official from the city club for you to play and fight to bring the good name of the city in the next official tournament"

"Really Coach? " My sad look turned to pleasure. The disbelief in the heart is still painted.

Coach Alam nodded with a look of honesty. I was very happy and stood up to a small jump listening to the words that came out earlier.

I am very happy to have the opportunity to play at a city club and be one of the retainers who is able to bring the good name of the city to win in the tournament.

"Thank you very much Coach, thank you very much" I hugged her tightly giving a look at the happiness I was feeling.

Deep down in my heart, I was very happy and momentarily forgot the sadness even if only for a moment.

"Yes, I hope you play well there. Because you already have a huge potential to compete with some of the best players in every city"

Don't forget the advice he always gave me. On the field as a good coach while off the field will be a father for his students.

Currently there are only a few players who are able to compete in women's ball games. But still no one has been able to penetrate this city club. Some of them failed the selection, so I had to study harder to get a place in the city football club.

"Now go home, and do not feel satisfied in the game and skill you have. Keep studying hard"

"Good Coach"

I went home at dusk and immediately drowned. Because it's about to start the afternoon. I thought back to remembering that I wanted to see Dika's brother and father in person. Because her phone wasn't active when I tried to contact them.

A few minutes later I had arrived at a magnificent mansion. The house left by his father and son. I tried to get in but there was no sign of anyone on the move inside.

"Excuse me sir, is Dika's brother there? "

"Sorry, who is this? "

"I'm a classmate of Dika's" sir"

I deliberately put Dika's brother away because if I did, I was afraid that his wife would come out and stop me with her harsh words to meet their family.

"Oh his friend with Dika"

"I'm sorry, dika, mister and mistress are out. He said he had a little business"

Too bad they're not in this house. Though I would love to meet before they leave this country, I will definitely not see my father and brother again.

"Aren't they going abroad tomorrow sir? "

"Yes, at 7 they will go to the airport. It is better to come back tomorrow morning if there is something very necessary. Because they'll probably be back tonight"

True also said the security guard, if I wait in front of this gate then I will go home very late. I'd better come back tomorrow to see your brother and father.

"Okay sir, thank you very much for the information"

"Yes mbak, Same" I went back to leave the house.

Ordered me online as usual to drive me home. Tonight feels very cold with my heart broken because the broken heart that I once put together will now be split again.

"Would I have done something wrong, so that my father would go and leave me again" I thought wondering and stumbling in front of the porch with a dim light.

Why should dad leave again. Just met and now he's leaving me abroad. Is there anything wrong with my life so he doesn't want to see me again.

Moreover, sis dika, when only yesterday helped and protected but why now suddenly go without a clear signal. What a painful surprise.

"Key, Key, it's such a poor journey of your life" To concern yourself and ridicule her about the journey I've been through.

Maybe this time I'm not the lucky one. But I make sure that in the future I have to be the luckiest person with a piece of story that I have to be equipped with in order to reach for the stars.

"I have to be able to achieve my dream in the national team. To get my loved ones back home"

The wind gushed, almost enveloping my body with coldness. The sound of birds chuckling on the branches while looking at me who was upset. The dim stars and the moon reflect the dimness of my heart at this moment.

"Maybe I have to sleep to forget everything. And tomorrow I have to come to Dika's sister's house to meet her and also father"

My steps went into the house and laid a tired body and mind on the bed. Trying to close his eyes but occasionally those eyes open because he keeps thinking about dad.

"Come to sleep, the day is getting late" I am sorry for these eyes that continue to open and do not want to be closed to enjoy the flowers of dreams.

"Bobo, put my head down so I can sleep well"

Bobo entered in a circle of hands with a very tight hug. I swooped it up and said to bobo to calm me down so I could sleep on this late night. Because tomorrow morning I have to go to Dad's house.

"Come to sleep fast, so that tomorrow will not be left behind by father" I patted my head to sleep and told this brain to rest.

I don't want to be left by my father for the second time without saying goodbye. I wanted to hold her tightly and feel like I was the happiest child in the arms of a father and brother.

Finally after a long time these eyes looked at the wall and the ceiling of the room wrote a note of hope and a series of fantasies. I fell asleep and went into a dreamland that I thought was very beautiful.
