The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
147. Letter From Adit

Mom and dad didn't want to let go of his embrace. But I did too because only this time they came to the stadium to watch the last game.

"Mom, can I hug Key too?" Tanya Mbak Yeni because she saw me being hugged by my father and mother for a long time. Maybe he was also shady because no one was colonized when he was at home.

"May, may you please" he said, wiping away tears.

Mother released a hug and immediately wiped away the tears that were dripping too much. From the look of his eyes it was clear that the longing was torturing the mother.

*plak* the blow to the head will not be left out of the hands of Ms. Yeni who was rancid.

"Finally my sister managed to bring victory to her hometown" Not forgetting Yeni's hand destroyed my well-tied hairstyle.

"True, I'm also proud of you key" Nike also came to hug me tightly. The clear radiance of happiness within the day in his eyes.

"Thank you mbak, you two are great because you continue to give spirit to achieve the ideals that I dream of" Sahutku while returning his embrace.

Happiness came back to my life that once felt the word misfortune. The life I live is full of good people. Among them are my two very good friends and a foster family who are really like angels.

On the one hand I was happy with this familiarity, seeing smiles and laughter in a festive atmosphere with an overwhelming victory. On the one hand I miss my father and mother to be present to see my smile in victory.

I always thought, if only they hadn't left when I was little maybe happiness would have been felt by the three of us. And maybe I won't find the real affection of the closest people, the family of Miss Yanti.

"Key, congratulations" David approached me.

"Thank you, it's all because you gave me the book and the cue" my friend said because he had given me some participation in the victory, including the book he gave yesterday and the cue he had uttered through the drawing of the hand.

Therefore I can read the strategy of the opponent which is really almost the same as the writing from David's book. That way the victory will be ours.

For a moment of thought, why would they easily master that tactic overnight. It is a strange and questionable thing. Maybe they have trained hard before the game starts.

"No, it's all because of your hard work to be captain" I smiled at his words that continued to praise, even though I was just an ordinary player and there were still many more great players.

"Cieeee, are you all better? " Yuri and Ari saw me talking to David.

And itches their lips if they don't bother me. I have to be careful not to be ashamed of myself by their offending words to David. Their lips are always leaking.

"Yes, Key and I are fine"

"Who said? I'm still mad at you because at school I'm still making out with Adel" Ketusku while giving a probing look.

"Who did you say? So you know"

"Listen to the retainer, I have spies at school so know everything" I said with a waistline.

David's gaze immediately fell on Ari and Yuri. As if he knew that the spy I was referring to was the two of them. Ari and yuri instantly turned their eyes in any direction to avoid David's gaze.

They diverted everything as if they knew nothing. My lips were made to smile by my two silly friends.

"But I also know one thing" David reopened the conversation. I wonder what he means.

"What's? "

"That you always think of me at school. And always stealing glances as I walked with Adel" I was stunned by his words, astonished by what David meant because it was all true.

"Know you, I haven't been in school for a long time" I said as if fine, but this heart was beating fast.

"I know, 'cause the spy you put in school told me everything. That's why I came here" My face immediately looked at Ari and Yuri.

They fell silent and looked back in any direction with a small smile. I intentionally did something to distract my eyes. I was really embarrassed when David found out about it. I want to teach them both a lesson.

"Ari, yuri" Shouted me and chased after the two of them.

Ari and Yuri ran fast. I immediately wanted to catch him and give him a little tickle to get them hooked for telling David the truth.

"Wait for you guys" I was left running around laughing watching them surround my mom, dad, Nike, Yeni and lastly David to seek refuge.

"Yyyyyy"

"Key"

*buk* I fell down and David was so quick to catch me that this head fell right on David's chest.

My eyes were astonished at this, while he smiled at me. I was so ashamed to fall on his chest. It's all because of Ari and Yuri that I stumbled and fell.

"Gosh, let's get up. Don't sleep here" Ketus mbak Yeni while helping me get out of David's body.

Ari and Ayuri help David to wake up. I immediately stood up and cleaned up the dirty body. And try to help David clean his dirty back.

"I'm sorry, sorry, not intentionally" I said as I joined the palm as an apology to him for being David's body with my heavy body.

"Calm down, I'm gaping" she said with a smile.

"Say we'll go to your dorm, and sit back there" Mother said.

"Yes, ma'am, I'll be on the bus soon and you'll just take the car to the hostel"

We're all with the pride team back in the dorm. Likewise with the mother who came to the dormitory to talk with me. Before I cleaned myself up and all the players were allowed to meet his family.

We the players will return tomorrow to our hometown and when the visit has run out, the mother and family will soon be home as well as Ari and Yuri.

"Mother go home first, son, take good care of yourself and be careful tomorrow when you go home"

"Ready boss" I said as I hugged him. So also with the father who is ready to go home.

"Take good, son, I'm proud of you"

"Key is also proud of you for being a great man in charge" I embraced you with affection.

"We'll welcome you tomorrow, let the villagers know that you're an accomplished child, not a prankster" I smiled at Yeni's upset face as she said that.

Because all this time they all thought I was an illegitimate and useless child in the village. And now I prove that the hated villager can rise to the highest point little by little.

"Me and Ari also went home to key, if David I don't know if I'm waiting for you or coming home too" whispered Yuri right in the ear as she hugged me.

"Once again your mouth speaks, then I'll squeeze it"

"Hahahah" Yuri laughed loudly with my actions.

"Just calm down, David knows everything. Look at him now getting closer to you instead" Ari continued and looked towards David who was beside me.

"How's vid, good right? " David thumbs up when he hears Ari's question. I don't know what they're keeping secret.

"Have come home, you two are so noisy. Oh yeah remember, keep my family in your car"

"Siapp"

Their smile was my smile, so I didn't feel lonely anymore when I got this victory. Many thanks are given to me, because God gave me a chance on this best day.

"Dadahh, be careful on the way ma'am" cried out and was countered with a wave of hands by them.

"Key"

"Hmmm" I said as David called and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Hows it? Did you answer yesterday's question?"

"I.hmmm, I..... I can rest because I am sleepy. I'll answer tomorrow"

Actually I was confused to want to talk about yes or no to him. It's hard to explain that to David. While I still want to pursue the ideals of being a national team player.

"All right, I'll be waiting for you" A disappointed look from David.

It turns out that I was bad for hurting her feelings by harboring feelings and not expressing them honestly.

"Would you like to go home tonight?"

"No, I'll be home in the morning and I won't go to school. You're going home tomorrow and after school, right?" It turns out he almost knew everything about me.

"Right, how are you sleeping now? "

"Just calm down, I've booked an inn today. And you sleep not too late, and don't forget to dream" he told me.

"Yes, you don't go too late either. Be careful on the road"

"Yes, ready" she said with a smile and stroked my head as usual.

"Dahhh" David waved his hand and rushed away. I replied with a smile and a wave of that hand.

"I'm sorry, I haven't been able to answer all that. Wait for tomorrow and I will explain" I muttered inwardly while smiling forcefully at David's departure.

The Dormitory Room

The room still looks quiet as some of them welcome the arrival of their parents and chat until night. This time I did not see the figure of Adit and Ani, I was sure they both came but did not appear.

"I hope you also feel this victory Ani, but it feels incomplete if your face does not meet me" I sat on the bed and leaned back.

This time I think of Ani, because when the victory has landed but Ani has not just appeared. I don't know what else to do so that he can be free to play football like he used to.

"Keyyyy"

"Sonya. It looks so happy on your face" Sonya looked up and came closer to me.

He said that both his parents gave him the gift he really wanted to start first after the victory was obtained.

"What gift? "

"Look, you see this"

"Books? "

"No, it's a Korean boyband album that I really like" I patted the eel hard.

I think he's got a really big or special gift and there's a Korean boyband album gift that he likes. Sonya is one of the players who likes Korean things.

He likes Korean singers, if only he knew that there was a Korean footballer who became the owner of Son. He plays in Europe, I want to be like him.

"Hmmm, okay. Congratulations Sonya because you got the big gift you've been dreaming of" I smiled and I needed it.

"Oh yes key, this is Adit's deposit for you"

"What's? "

"Open" A letter and a bouquet of flowers as usual. Adit has a hobby of giving flowers to me.

"Thank you yes"

"Yes the same" Sahut and he went to his bed looking at the album he was holding. It was as if he had found the real world.

****

Dear Keyla

First I congratulate you on your success, sorry I can't give you this letter directly because I want to say something big.

All this time I liked you, even dreamed always with you. We are different but only a little. I don't know why I'm comfortable around you. But everything changed when I found out that your heart was only for David.

With this letter I declare retreat to pursue you. Now you are free to choose your love and life, for your smile is my smile and your happiness is my happiness.

And I will not be selfish, for true love must not have.

Warm regards

Adits

"Thank you for your concern so far, I hope you have a greater lover than I do" I smiled as I held the letter and kept it.

I threw myself down and smiled at the ceiling. I am happy today because I have been given the confidence to live my life well to this day.

Every prostration I always pray so that it can be easier to reach the ideals and can play the ball well. And now the prayer was granted one by one by Allah SWT.

"Lili, I want to talk to you" I stood up and approached the newly arrived Lili after meeting her parents.

"What's the key? " Sanya enthusiastically and happily looked at me.

"Where's the book I lent you yesterday" Lili fell silent and her face began to look confused. Several times he was seen swallowing his saliva deeply.

"What's wrong? Why are you quiet?" I said and looked back at him with disappointment.

"I know that you leaked the book to the opposing team right? " Sonya and Sela were shocked to hear my words. They immediately docked on Lili and me.

I already know that because they themselves do the strategy exactly according to the picture of David. And David also confirmed it because he himself wrote and drew the book.

The book is not entirely about national team strategy and the little polish from David about the strategy he brings from abroad.
