The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
153. Invitation of the National Team of the Princess

It turns out that Yuri already knew that Ari and I wanted to do a mission while at school. He saw Ari and I talking seriously so he felt suspicious and followed up to this cafe.

Indeed, aangt was surprised by the behavior of my best friend stau, and it looks funny also when he was angry and pouting like that. Very anxious to pinch yuri's cheek.

"Here you go, I want to go home in preparation to leave tomorrow night for the city dorm"

"Follow.... " Yuri's face was clear as she looked at me.

"Do you want me to put it in a bag or in a suitcase? " Tanyaku.

"Hahahahah" Ari laughed so loosely when she saw Yuri's lips pout again.

We ended up going home together but in a different car. Ari takes me and Yuri comes in the back. Next they went home to each other, it was intended that my mother did not suspect me.

At school

"Key, I want to say goodbye to you"

"Where? "

"I was accepted to play in City B after a long selection"

City B is one of the highest-ranked clubs in league 1 clubs today. It turned out to be quietly in Accept there after a long selection while I was in the city club dormitory.

How happy I was when David said that, even if he didn't come back abroad at least he could develop a new experience in football. I hope he's comfortable there.

"Wahhh very good, but it's very far from this city. But it's okay that it's important now that you already have a club and can develop well"

Before getting into the national team, David played at a city club. But after returning from the national team his contract ran out and could not be continued because there are some injuries that must be recovered.

And thank God he now has the club again after a few months without the club. I hope he can play well and be called up by the national team again in the next event.

"Let's not be sad, I'll always call you" she tried to seduce.

"All right"

"When are you going? "

"Tomorrow" It feels like this time is spinning.

Just now I was happy with David and now we have to be different cities. He's at club B and I'm at my city club right now. A long distance but must be traveled for the future.

"Part yourself well. I hope we both meet again at this school someday"

"Yes key you also have to be enthusiastic in order to get into the national team"

"Ready boss"

We both gave each other encouragement. I think love should not be with dating but love should provide good support for each other's partners. Whatever it is, support is number one.

David and I both went to the principal's room to ask for a football career permit. I got into the city club and David got into someone else's city club which was quite a distance away.

"Remember once again the father's message, keep the good name of the school. And I hope your game can penetrate the Indonesian national team"

"Well sir" answered David and I simultaneously.

"For David hopefully can get into the national team again, and key hopefully you can follow David to the national team"

"We're different sir" Sahutku, because David men's national team and I'm the women's national team.

"It's okay, it's the national team" he said that made me and David laugh.

"Now I give you permission to go home early"

"Ready sir"

We both went back to class and said goodbye to friends like when I first entered the dormitory at that time. The atmosphere was back because David and I had to go to the club.

It's very hard indeed, because at our age it's an important time to make memories. But the future is the most important, and we must give up adolescence to achieve a dream that has been recorded for a long time through life.

"Key, be careful there. Hikssss, hikss"

"Later if famous don't forget us"

"Yes key, I hope you get into the national team soon" Crying enveloped my heart that began to become haru.

I hugged them one by one except Ari and Yuri. They were still sitting on the bench as usual and ignored my departure from this class.

I can only smile while stitching them with pain. It hurts to have to go again to chase the stars in my life.

"Didn't you guys want to hug me? " Take a ask of them. Ari and Yuri bowed silently and pretended to do something.

"All right, I'll say yes. And take good care of yourself because I love you both so much"

My steps rushed to leave the two of them because from earlier I spoke but was ignored by Ari and Yuri. Maybe they don't want me to go, especially I'll rarely go home after this because for the team's preparation in the next tournament.

"Key" Shouted Ari and Yuri, they both got out of their seats and chased after me quickly.

Back hugs are thrown in sobs from Ari and Yuri. I was as strong as I could hold it but it felt really tight and finally the tears fell down as well.

"Don't be long, without you here it feels very uncomfortable" Yuri said while crying sobbing.

"True key, there is nothing more that irritates me and protects me and Yuri here" continued Ari who also shed tears quite a lot.

"You guys, take it easy I go to pursue my ideals not to leave you. I promise that if one day I can be successful then I'll talk to the world that you're my best friend"

I thought this farewell was normal like yesterday's farewell the first time I left for the city club. Turns out I was wrong, this second farewell feels so heavy especially I will stay a long time and wait for the next tournament to come.

After a pretty dramatic breakup, I went home and didn't forget to encourage David.

At home, at night

Not only mother, the cries of my two brothers also sounded very loud. The sobs re-adorned the contents of the house just like yesterday I went to the city club and now I am back there again.

"Son, I always pray that you can successfully achieve the dream of becoming a national team player" Gently stroked my head. I'm so happy to see it.

"Father, mother, Nike and mbak yeni. Key promises to play as well as possible and will try to get into the national team" We back together.

The father did not cry, but his voice sounded discordant and his eyes were teary and forced to hide. Only the father could hold back those tears.

It felt like these tears could not be contained anymore, I was really very sad to leave this house for the one time. But I have to be willing because of my future.

"Buk, key tipped home yes. Who knows if Key's biological mother came home" I gave mother the keys to the house. And I wish my real mother would go home and leave that man.

"I... Yes son, mother will take care of him" Mother's voice sounded broken because of her sobbing cry.

"Just key, let me bring you your suitcase" said Yeni enthusiastically, because soon she will not hear my morning snapping when I wake her up.

"Yes key, remember the message. You have to take care of yourself and when the wedding starts, you have to come" Nike did not want to lose. She always gave me a warning out of fear I wouldn't come to her wedding.

"Keyyy, wait" a very loud shout.

Yuri and Ari ran towards me, I thought they wouldn't come here to take me even if they were only in the car. Because when I sent the message no one replied to him.

And now my disbandment attaches importance to a little smile and a draped in sadness. The faces of the two of them always adorned the days at school.

"Ari, yuri" I immediately hugged her very tightly. It will be tough because I have a one-year contract for this city club.

Indeed Ari and Yuri can visit the dormitory, but not necessarily he will visit our dormitory when doing matches at home opponents.

"Take care of yourself, I'll miss you key" Yuri cried again to make my clothes wet.

"Remember the key, now you have a great responsibility for your ideals. The problem about the lessons, I will always send and provide online training for you" said Ari who was really very helpful.

"Thank you so much, you're both my best friends"

I hugged him and this time my eyes held back so as not to fall off the clear grains that can wet the cheeks because it can make them weaker will come to me.

"Dadahh.... "

"Be careful key"

"Be careful son" The hand lambaian was accompanied by tears at the thought of longing.

I have to hold it in anyway. Because this is one step so that I can play to the Indonesian national team to fulfill my ideals to defend this country.

The journey far enough to make me sleep until the morning and immediately clean up and do absences. Then prepare to continue the training.

Training ground

"In the near future we will do a small tournament for the Java area only. I hope you guys keep playing well"

"Each coach"

Training continues to be done to find good performance and train movement and stamina for players. All that is done so that we keep playing well in any game. And reduce injuries that are possible when competing.

Day after day we kept training, my focus was only on training according to the coach's instructions. Until the time comes in the game and we have already occupied the pots that have been shared.

"First game, you should enjoy and follow the game calmly. Don't panic and stay calm despite an attack"

"Each coach"

The first game started and we won again 3-1. The players are happy with me as well, let alone playing in the first team that makes me more confident.

Then 3 days later we had the second game and won the game 1-0.

Although the score was thin, at least we won and got 3 points as a provision to go to the final. Nothing is in vain, for all must be paid.

Training ground

After the second match, we went back to training as usual. Learn the new strategies that will be given by the coach as well as the use of the given tactics.

"Before training begins, there is new news for you" The coach wanted to announce the important thing, it was clear from his face that something was brought.

He saw a white envelope he was holding. We sat quietly before doing the exercises this morning. The envelope was held tightly and then the coach opened the contents that made us curious.

"See what I brought? "

"Not knowing the coach" shouted all of us.

"This is an official invitation letter from PSSI" My eyes immediately glared listening to the coach's words.

"Is that an invitation letter to enter the national team? " My mind wonders because the coach hasn't told her for sure.

"What is the coach for? " Ask one of my friends who was also curious about the letter.

"Official invitation letter for national team selection"

"Hah national team? Yeyyyyy" Very lively cheers from the players.

Likewise, I was the first to hear that there was an official letter coming to conduct national team selection. My heart was pounding and impatient with the arrival of the letter.

"With the arrival of this letter I feel happy because my students can be invited to the women's national team selection. And I'll be reading it soon"

"Of course, some of us get the coach's advice" What a silly question they're spreading.

If the letter has entered the club manager, it means there are players who are being targeted to enter the national team, I thought.

"There are, but only one of you has attracted the attention of the national team coach"

"Only one coach? "

"Yes"

Hearing only one who entered the invitation, it felt like my day was bowed in lethargy. Like there is no hope to enter the Indonesian national team even though only selection. Because all the players here have talent and they come from many famous SSBs in this city.

I fell silent and bowed lethargic as the others enthusiastically asked and wanted to listen directly to the reading of the invitation.

"Alright, you listen carefully to the contents of this letter"

"Good coach"

The coach read out the purpose of the letter is to invite players to conduct national team selection prepared for international matches.

"And that name is....... " I just stared at the ground.

There was no spirit in me because I didn't feel that my name was recorded there. Moreover, seeing the players of team friends is very good. So there is no more hope in this mind.

"Quick coach, we're impatient"

"Master coach"

"He was. "a long enough riddle.
