The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
154. Barmy

They were all excited to hear the coach, while my mind ran off somewhere. Because I was desperate first before listening to the decision.

"The player is, Keyla Adara" Applause cheered.

"Key, key congratulations yes" cried friends-tsman beside me.

"What's wrong?" I asked in surprise, for it was clear that my name was not written there.

"Didn't you listen to the letter? "

"What indeed? "

"Just your name is on the invitation" I was really surprised to hear.

"really? " Sonya nodded with my question.

"Keyla, did you reject this invitation? "

"No coach" I immediately stood up and approached the coach who was standing in front holding the letter.

My face was stunned and still could not believe whether this was a dream or reality. And once again the coach shouted that the letter was clearly listed my name.

"You saw the key yourself"

"Alhamdulillah O Allah" I bowed in gratitude and wept bitterly. A miracle I am so proud of right now.

I do not believe that God leaves his creatures in a state of contempt. What I believe in is that God will do wonders for his patient creatures.

"Congratulations on that call" Coach hugged me tightly. Some advice he slipped and whispered to me.

He said I had to do a good selection and show some of the skli I had. And do it in earnest in order to mwnembua squad young garuda.

"Thank you coach, it's my dream to gather my parents and the world cheers that I'm not an unlucky kid" I shouted as I returned the coach's arms that he thought we were like his own son.

If you remember the name bastard, maybe I will ride apitam. But my mother once said that the neighbors would look at me as trash and if it worked then I would be looked upon with respect like a diamond.

"You guys just keep quiet? Didn't anyone congratulate Keyla? " Ask the coach to the friends who were moved by my success in getting this invitation.

"Happy keyla"

"Happy key" Congratulations and a warm hug, like your own family.

They all supported me so much when they heard the announcement about the invitation. Look happy on their faces, although their wishes are also the same, namely invited in the women's national team selection.

I was allowed to go home to prepare for my departure which would run on two days. Forwards. And now is the last training I will undergo before the national team selection.

"Okay, now we'll continue the exercise again. And for the key, you can join the rehearsal or prepare your things to go home later tonight"

"Each coach, I'm just training"

I chose to practice with my friends. Besides, my stuff is not too much, at most it only takes a few minutes and then finished.

The training started as usual, I refocused myself on the training given by the coach. Indeed, at this time my heart is happy, but the pleasure should not continue to dissolve when concentration begins to refocus practice.

"Alright, let's end the training this time. For you please hurry the break and in the future keep the spirit of training for the preparation of the next match"

"Good coach"

We all broke up and headed back to the dormitory to rest. While I prepared myself to take care of all the items to go home and say goodbye to my family and say good news for all of them.

"Keyyy, this room will be quiet if there's no you" Sonya cried as I stuffed my stuff into the suitcase.

"You, I'm just doing a selection. Thank you for coming into the national team and playing for the country, then I will come back again" I tried to explain.

But Sonya was still soft, her tears falling down my arms. His hand still held tightly to my hand and struggled. I don't want to let go of that gangagamn.

"But it feels lonely, no one bothers me while practicing. No friends vent before going to bed, no one is jail and much more" he said trying to recall some of our memories when we were on a team.

"Sonya, I'm leaving only temporarily. If the national team is done, I'll come back here" I explained to one of my super duper friends who loved me and were afraid of losing.

"Take care of yourself, and keep your spirits up so you can catch up for selection with me"

I provide motivation so that he is more eager to get a place to be able to follow the national team selection.

It was heartless to leave this place, but I had to be excited and focused for a step forward. I immediately stood up and lifted the suitcase, saying goodbye to the coaches and teammates.

"Remember the key, I have to see you pass that selection. Because this is an opportunity for you who have the best skills in the team" advised the coach when I say goodbye.

"Every coach, Key will fight as hard as possible to get a place in the national team" I said with pride.

So did some other trainers who helped provide encouragement and encouragement in my departure to return home tonight.

"Friends, I'm willing to go. I hope you guys keep playing well, and don't forget to always pick up points in every game" I told them all.

"Key"

"Key, careful"

Sobs from them and embrace each other in my departure today. I kept smiling trying to toughen up even though it was too heavy to leave them. As much as I can hide these tears.

Inevitably, I must continue to do so to achieve my dreams. While Sonya was there, I saw her filled with deep cries.

A quiet night turned haru upon my departure. Hopefully you can play well in the next game even without me.

The House of Bu Yanti

\*tok, tock, tock"

"Assalamu'alaikum, mother" Bright morning, you should have woken up and prepared your wares.

"Wa'alaikumussalam"

\*xxx\*

"Key....." Shouted my mother and hugged me tightly. His eyes were shocked to see his son coming home without giving him any news.

Mother hugged me with a deep sense of haru. So did the father who came out of the house and was surprised to see me standing in the arms of mother.

"Keyla? You home son? " The father hugged me right away.

Haru cried and was proud to see his son come home without giving news. They thought I was kicked out of the club, but there was still one surprise I kept for them.

"I have a surprise for mom and dad"

"We better just go inside the house" said the mother and we all sat in the living room.

When I looked around, it seemed like Nike and Mbak Yeni still did not wake up from their deep sleep. Looks like I'll have to tell mom and dad first.

"So why are you coming home, son? Were you expelled from the club? " See you're curious about an answer I haven't explained.

"So, sir, buk..." I took out a letter and gave it to my father and mother.

"You can read it" I said, then I opened it and read the contents of the letter.

I was silent as they opened and read it. While clearly visible from the look of their eyes seriously staring at every neatly written sentence. A few minutes later the eyes stopped reading and looked at me with a hariu.

"You're in the selection in the national team? " I nodded and smiled.

The father and mother were increasingly doubtful and they both hugged me tightly. Their pride and waiting for this was finally achieved, seeing me play well so called up for national team selection.

I was also moved because thanks to their support, I was able to get to the point of the journey that was already close to passing through the gate to the stars. Even though the journey was still very long.

"Good boy, I'm proud of you"

"Mother is also very proud of you son" A bright morning was greeted with very happy news for mom and dad.

"Mother, what is it? It's a lot of people"

I'm just a little mergngis with his habits, I think I want to prank mbak Yeni, because he will always be nosy when I see me here.

"Key? " His eyes glared and it was unbelievable that he saw me sitting and in the arms of his father and mother.

Mbak Yeni immediately ran over and hugged me tightly like someone who had not met for long. I returned her embrace tightly, because my longing was also great for her.

"Why did you come? " The father and mother explained to Mbak Yeni on my arrival.

Not long after, Nike came out of the room with the same appearance and the same behavior that also hugged me tightly.

After that my mother and father explained to them that I got an invitation to participate in the selection of the Indonesian national team and will leave tomorrow.

Happy to decorate a small house in the morning with a family that has a big influence in my mental formation to use it in ball games.

Afternoon

I woke up after sleeping too soundly because of soy sauce when I came home. I immediately rushed to clean up and worship as usual.

"Oh my God, thank you for answering my prayer. Please give me the ease of doing the national team selection and hopefully can boast both foster parents and also both parents of slaves"

Gratitude I always say to God Almighty. Gradually my hopes and desires were well granted. My faith is very big for the national team. And every step always has a belief, that behind the tribulation there will be interest in the future.

"Hi Ani, I'm coming home from the club and bringing good news for you. Can we meet"

(Ting) the message has been sent.

I sent a message to Ani, he would definitely feel bored while living in Adit's house outside the city.

So I called him so we could have some fun before I left for selection. I will tell you a very proud news.

"really key? I'll be there to see you"

"Right Ani, well I'll wait for you" (Message).

"It looks like I should contact Ari and Yuri as well. Surely they will be happy to see me here, let alone we have not met for a long time" I muttered while looking for their contact.

I sent a message in the group to Ari and Yuri, right I said because they were very happy with this news. They both promised to see me later that afternoon after school.

"Ohh, thank God. A wide open opportunity to reach my dreams" I threw myself into bed.

Hugging a bobo that I haven't talked to in a long time. I miss bobo and the shape is still the same but he looks dirty. Maybe because I haven't cleaned it up lately.

"Oh yeah, I'd better pack up the things I'm going to bring tomorrow"

Just lying down, this body rushed to clean up the items to be brought to do the selection so that later it is not sudden and make some items miss.

"Look at the Nike shoes, they are beautiful and bring good luck. I'll wear it at the selection tomorrow" the shoe I always wear during the game.

Indeed, the shoes are not as expensive as those of friends and the color has also been worn because it has long ago mbak nike buy. But his gifts are truly meaningful and loving.

"David, how is he at his new club. All this time I haven't sent him a message" Seeing the ball in the closet, I remembered David's figure.

Now we walk in each other's dreams. In fact, we almost never sent a message after we both dropped out of school to stay at their respective clubs.

13.00 In a resto

\*ting\* (outdoor message)

"Where are you?" Message from Ani, apparently he has reached this city.

"I'm here, table number 8" I replied.

Ani came from behind my seat. I was surprised because he still wore all black clothes to cover himself.

"Hey"

"Gosh, I thought you were a kidnapper" I muttered mockingly.

"Just kid" Sahutnya.

Ani ordered food and I was busy looking at her face. He looks the same, but the difference is now closed because he does not want to be seen by the Prabu group.

I feel sorry for Ani, because her life is not calm. Maybe every time he came out of the house he would cover his body with a black cloth. It's all my fault, because I'm the one who should be treated like that by Prabu instead of Ani.

"Who are you here with? " Tanyaku.

"Hmmm jerked" His head wobbled as if looking for something from the crowd of visitors who came.

"This kid, I asked you who you came with instead of asking how many visitors are here" I said, brushing my head.

\*\*

"It hurts Key"

"Thankuratin, so if people talk it listen don't just dumbass"

"I'm sorry, I was messing with food"

Ani looked back at the menu and wrote it down on paper and then gave it to the waiter without answering my question.

It's ridiculous behavior, some kind of mysterious person. He thinks he's the mysterious one, I can do it if I want to. Really Ani sucks, fortunately this time my situation is not as thin as a tissue.
