The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
131. My Birthday

CONTINUE POV ANI

I could not turn my face away when I saw an unknown person enter the training ground and dress strangely. I am alone at the moment.

"Who is that person, why is it heading here" My eyes were suspicious when I saw the 2 people coming towards me.

"Hmmm, excuse me deck. Do you know this address? " They gave me a piece of paper. I read it, who knows the address I recognize.

"Oh this, it's in.... "

*plak*a very hard thing hit my head, it hurt a lot. My head was so dizzy and it was dark all the time.

"Ohhhh, where is this" I opened my eyes slowly. It turned out that I was in a car tied up and had my mouth silenced with cloth.

"Gee.. Whoa... Wow, it's been up apparently boss"

"So soon he's human. My hand hit him so hard he fainted"

I was surprised to hear their conversation. Looks like this guy is the kidnapper who's trying to kidnap me right now.

"The bre for a long time bought a drink, where my mouth was very dry"

"Yes boss, let alone having to rush to throw it away" their conversation was in the car.

My heart was pounding as they said they were going to dump me. I was so scared and my body couldn't do anything. I stared at the window hoping to see someone approaching.

It was only fitting that they managed to enter, because the guard guards were asleep. I didn't know he was asleep or hit by this cabal.

"Key, it's Key" I looked up at Key who was outside and wanted to re-enter the training ground

I was looking for a way for Key to find me in this car. My hands and mouth are not used. Then I have to use my head to call Key.

*brak, brack, brak*

"Hmmm, hmmm"

"Hey, silly. Don't let him make a sound. Otherwise our plan will fail.

" I'm sorry boss sorry"

"Quick shut him up" The burly hand violently held me back from making a sound. My body kept rebelling for Key to listen to this voice and head towards this car.

The sound of commotion between me and her invited Key closer to this car. My eyes bulged and seemed to want to scream but it felt really hard.

"Key come here, knock on Key's door" My inner voice. But Key couldn't hear it.

*tock, tock, tock*

"Excuse me" The car window is half open.

I saw Key but it's a shame this criminal held me down until this body fell. His feet were stepping on me so hard that I fell down.

"What's up, brother? "

"Is this your wallet? " It looks like Key took the fallen kidnapper's wallet with him.

"Oh yes deck, thank you very much"

"Yes, the next time his wallet should not fall again. The danger of many criminals om" said Key from the outside.

Now I'm resigned because I can't do anything after that the door is closed and a friend who bought a drink has come. Then this car drove fast somewhere I don't know.

POV ANI FINISHED

"Okay, Ani where ya. This place is empty. Maybe her father has picked Ani up" This place is empty and Ani's trail is also no longer visible.

I finally got back into Ari's car with a lethargic face. Why can I forget to ask Ani that important thing. Though I need a lot of information because lately a lot of bad people are wandering in the city.

"Where's Key? Have you met Ani? "

"No, he's gone. Maybe her dad picked her up. Let's just go" The car drove to the place planned by Yuri and Ari.

"Oh yeah Key, who was that car? "

"I found the car driver's wallet. Then I gave it to him" I explained.

"I think they're criminals or kidnappers, and you're one of the conspirators"

"Hahahhaha" Laughing cheerfully and very loudly. There is always something to talk about, even if it is not important.

On the way, I fell silent because I remembered my father. My face stared at the scenery along the way. Great to see but not to feel.

"David" I just remembered not opening the phone from earlier. The rush made me forget that I was texting David and hoping he would reply.

Sure enough, my message was answered by David. He said he was okay. And it is true that tomorrow will be held the inaugural match of Indonesia vs Singapore. I'm happy to see it, my hope is still the same hopefully David wins and becomes a great player.

"Key"

"Hmmm"

"Are you tired? " Tanya Ari and I nodded then fell silent again.

"Here drink, to relieve your fatigue" I picked up a bottle of orange juice given by Yuri. Feel the sweetness of each gulp to refresh the body and soul.

I don't know why my mind's still chasing after Dika's sister and dad. I don't want to be too late in grief. I better give David my support so he can play well in the tournament.

"Vid, play well. I will always pray for and support you even from afar" (Message sent)

Return to send a message to him so that the spirit in David's body is burning. I want to see him play games, if necessary he scores more goals.

"I'm still waiting for you faithfully vid, until whenever it is" My lips smiled slightly. Enjoy the cold from the car because the weather is quite cloudy today.

"Close your eyes first" Yuri ordered suddenly. He closed my eyes with a cloth cover. He said the surprise was getting closer.

"Ohh, you're all there"

"Have been silent, you must obey our words this time"

"All right, all right" I resignedly followed all the schemes of the two of them.

Moreover, what they will do, I know there must be something very beautiful prepared because they always have surprises for me and can always make me happy wherever it is.

"Eh a minute, but surprise in what order? " my back.

"Have been quiet, because this surprise will make you happy"

"Follow me" Yuri and Ari led me out of the car. He picked me up and gave me instructions not to fall.

"Slow down so your feet don't stumble"

"Alright, your lives are always complicated" Ranted for both of them.

"It's here" I smiled because the journey had come. So I don't have to walk anymore.

Yuri slowly opened the blindfold that wrapped my netra. After everything was fully open, I was surprised not to play looking at the scenery in front of my eyes.

"Happy birthday, happy birthday" The song sounded discordant but funny. Into my ears that make my tears fall.

Because there were too many problems, I forgot that today was my birthday. So busy my life with the turn of problems that exist, that I forget that I am fully 17 years old.

"Ari, Yuri, thank you very much. Hix...... Hicksnake..." I cried while hugging Ari and Yuri. This cry at once I overflowed about the pain that I had not had time to tell the two of them.

"Happy birthday, my friend"

"Happy birthday, may you always be healthy"

The tight embrace of the three of us like a teletabis can not be released. My tears covered both of their clothes. I was stunned and could not say anything.

"Have not cried, we've done this for you"

"Thank you very much"

Beautiful decoration with beachfront atmosphere. A pretty big birthday cake. I've never had a birthday party this big. My heart is happy but hard to say.

"Now you live a candle and pray. But his prayer on the very creator isn't on the candle"

"Hahhahah" Laughter the three of us were very compact.

Yuri holds the cake and Ari is in charge of lighting the candles. I closed my eyes for a moment, speaking between my heart and the sky. Praying from some of the prayer sequences I said because it was so many.

"Already" I said.

"Blow the candle, blow the candle, blow the candle now"

"Fffhuuuh"

"Yeyeyeye yey" Little happiness but I think this is the real happiness, because every moment there will be the most beautiful memories.

"Did you forget it was your birthday? "

"yes" I said, making Yuri dna ari smile.

maybe they understand what I'm going through and thinking about right now. So make this brain do not think clearly because of this.

"In a moment, Ari and I have something for you" Yuri went to pick up something she said.

"Now open"

"Open aja Key, surely you like" Ari and yuri are very enthusiastic so that I immediately open this gift.

My hands are busy opening this box. There were many layers of paper inside, it seemed like Ari and Yuri were deliberately trying to keep me busy opening it to get tired. But I don't care, sheet by sheet the wrapping paper I open slowly.

"Damn, why so long. You guys must be fucking me, right? " just ask them with a suspicious look. Then the two of them just returned with a smile.

"Jersey national team? " My eyes were wide looking at what was in front of my eyes. A real jersey is in my hands.

"This is very expensive" This jersey is very expensive because it is genuine.

"No, it's cheap for you, my best friend"

"Do you like" My tears came back and wanted to say a huge thank you to both of them. I hugged her without another word.

"Thank you" Jersey I've been craving.

I wanted to buy it but it didn't feel like my money was enough to save up to pay mom. I didn't want to squander the money so I chose to keep this desire of getting a real jersey.

"Now it's time for us to have fun" The three of us enjoy the drinks and food that has been ordered. Laughing together and dancing while singing even though his voice is very divisive.

Suddenly I remembered my father and mother. When was the last time we celebrated my birthday with such great affection. Bobo has been witnessing it until now.

The thought broke again in my brain so I pensively stared at the waves on the beach. Birds fly freely in space with a group of brothers. So do I want to be like that.

"Key, howling" The clasping of hands surprised me and twisted all my daydreams.

"I know that you are sad, but I also know if you always keep it all" Ari said.

I looked at her very deeply, maybe Ari could read from my eyes that the current sadness was so great.

"Your father and your brother went abroad, they left you alone here again. But you don't worry that I'll always be your best friend"

"The betul said by Ari, yesterday I also cried when Dika's feet left. But that night Dika went home to say goodbye"

I was surprised to hear Yuri say. How can brother Dika say goodbye to Yuri while to me he is not alone even in the message.

"What's? " My eyes glared at Turi as if they could not believe what Dika's sister had done to me.

"Quiet, calm down, I'll tell you everything" Yuri once again found my heart in emotion. He knew that I would be angry when I heard that.

Yuri told me that brother Dika was afraid to see the face of disappointment given by me. Moreover, Dika's feet already love me very much as his sister. After all Dika's brother with me is a brother but he has to leave without saying goodbye abroad.

Sister Dika told Yuri that she loved me more than her own life. But fate says something else, there are things that Dika's sister cannot explain to me.

"Why would she prefer to tell you that, but not me" I cried again and hugged Yuri very tightly.

Although yesterday I met him when I wanted to go to the airport, but the disappointment was there because Dika did not say for sure the reason to go abroad. I know it's not education, maybe there's too much he keeps.

"This is a letter to you from Dika's sister" A letter was given to me.

****

Hey beautiful sister, our meeting was very short. Just yesterday I was with you at school, but now the time has come for me to go there. I love you so much Keyla, but I have to go. My hope from yesterday is still the same, may you be a good boy and always be the best. I also hope you become a national team player in the future. Play beautiful so that your sister watches with pride.

Oh yes, I just want a message that you should not be an emotional child. Take care of your emotions so as not to get old quickly huh. hmmm, it feels like to gently stroke your head and pinch it when you are naughty

****

Very short message, but able to make my heart touched once. Once again I wanted to run after Dika's feet and wanted to hug her very tightly. But it's actually too late.
