The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
162. Kaira

Looking into their hopeful eyes, it felt like I was guilty of not being able to bring victory to be proud of them all.

"Sorry, Keyla lost"

"No boy, you won because you reached this high point. I'm proud of you" Dad said the same, he still hugged me under any circumstances.

"Yes son, I'm proud of you too"

"Mother too, you are everyone's dream. But unfortunately I didn't accompany you long ago" The hug of two mothers whom I loved dearly.

"Thank you for my two mothers who I love so much" I hugged her back tightly.

"Son, why are your hands this"

"It's okay ma'am, it's just an ordinary fall" I smiled because now it's not just a mother who worries about me. But there were two mothers who stared in anxiety.

"Hi" Sapaku while crouching in front of him.

"Hi sis" She was friendly and hugged me tightly.

Cute and adorable little sister. Now she is officially my sister, and now my life is also not lonely anymore because it already has a sister.

Mom always told me about him through messages and phone calls. Now I've seen him live and interacted with him. Her face was almost similar to my wakah as a child.

"What's your name? "

"Kaira"

"Ahh, why did you give me a name that was almost similar to mine"

"For him to be a great man like you"

"Hehehe" Laughter they witnessed this. It turns out his name is similar to mine, now there is Keyla's brother Kaira.

"Both good learning"

"Every sister" Very funny laugh, similar to mother.

"Key"

"My sister" misses the feeling of being apart for a long time. Maybe they are also lonely because there is no sister they will disturb.

"My ring is waiting for you at home. Moreover, seeing your hands like this, it feels like I want to cry" I laughed when I saw Yeni crying.

Likewise with Nike who came crying. Usually they make me cry and complain to my mother, this time they are the ones who cry when they look at me.

"Call down, God willing, I'm fine"

*plak*

"Okay? Your hand is broken not scratched. You fool" Annoyed Nike to me.

He has never been this angry, probably because of his concerns when he saw my condition in a bad hand. They are very sad and worried, but anger is only always associated with them. Because their patience is as thin as a tissue.

"Keyyy"

"Ride, Yuri. Long time no see you" The two silly friends, always there when I'm sad and happy. Those are the ones who accompanied me up to this point.

"Hurry to heal, if you're like this then I'll keep crying"

"Basar cengengen" I said to Yuri.

"Hikss... Hixs"

"Ari" I and Yuri said simultaneously as they saw Ari crying.

We were surprised, because only this time he was sobbing. Though he was always a smart boy and rarely cried even though he always got bullied.

He said he couldn't see my broken hand. He always prayed that I would be okay. But now he's sad to see you get hurt.

"Of course, wipe away your tears. I'm doing fine. Don't waste too much tears of sadness, because yesterday you won, right? " Ari nodded.

He finished the Olympics yesterday and won the first place again. I am so happy and proud as his best friend. There is no doubt that the brain is always running and does not freeze like me.

"And what about your singing audition? "

"Fear again"

"It's okay, there's plenty of time. Calm down because Ari and I will support you"

Yuri has recently discovered her talent, wanting to become a singer. Although he failed many times, he never gave up.

Behind the scenes there is always me and Ari who are supporters. Although support from a distance, but I can still give input on his voice. Even Yuri's mother was also very supportive of her son's talent.

"Let's go home" Invite me while embracing both my mother and father.

"Excuse me, Miss Keyla, can we interview you? " The reporter suddenly approached when I wanted to return home.

I was surprised not to play because it was the first time they came and interviewed me in person. I'm confused about what I'm going to say in a minute.

It felt very nervous, moreover they interviewed with a lot of questions. All eyes were on me, so a few camera shots were watching my speech.

"Don't be nervous son" whispered mother, I just nodded.

"Hmm, may you please. But sorry because I'm a little nervous"

"It's okay, brother, we'll ask slowly" said the reporter.

"What do you think about the outcome of this match? "

"What do you think of this defeat, and what needs to be corrected?"

One by one the questions I was given were answered well and correctly. Then came when they asked my parents about their support for becoming a national team player.

" Who is the person who has been influential in your career? "

"They, my mother, my mother and father" said I, leaning on them.

"Are they biological parents? "

"I think not only biological parents who support their children, but good and sincere parents will do anything for the success of their children" I explained with a smile.

Although the family of Bu Yanti is not my real family, but they are the ones who make me rise up to get this dream come true. Their support never stopped for me.

I clasped my two mothers tightly, they were the heaven God gave me so that I would always protect them. And they're the ones that will be my place to lean on when this shoulder is tired.

"Then how is your hand now? Is that really painful? "

"No, the most painful thing was when I failed to bring the team to win"

The words just come out of your mouth. This hand is not so painful, but the most painful is my heart that still feels failed because it has not reached the desired target for this nation.

"Good brother thanks for the time"

"Yes together"

The interview was soothing but it was not as difficult as what was in school. It turned out that I only answered according to the facts and then finished.

Tonight we all went home in 3 cars, Ari, Yuri and mother. The journey takes about 10 hours from the airport to the house.

"sister"

"Hm"

"Did you like having a sister like me? " Silly question from the little girl sitting next to me.

"Of course, if you're naughty maybe I don't like it" I said, hiding a smile.

"Just calm down, I promise I won't be naughty. And I'll obey your request sis" I smiled again and gently stroked his head.

It turns out that this kid is almost like me, he is a funny and jolly boy. Fortunately, he did not resemble his cruel father.

Looking at him as if looking at my childhood. Beautiful and petite girl, there were always many questions that flashed through her mind. Because at the age they have a very high sense of curiosity.

"Have gone to sleep, for the journey is far enough"

"Can I lean in brother's arms? " This kid is just there.

It seems like she misses a sister, whereas I miss a sister. A pretty warm family, and I agreed.

"Sleep, but remember not to touch my arm"

"Okay ready to do. I'll be careful"

I don't know why my day is very happy even though I am currently losing but at least I have the comfort of all of them. That's time to pick me up at the airport.

"Mom, thank you"

"For what? "

"Because I gave birth to Kaira" Mom smiled.

Tonight on the way, I drowned in the arms of mother's warmth. I leaned on mom and Kaira leaned on me. Really the family's the most comfortable place when we get home.

"Sleep son, I'll always be with you" said the mother, stroking my hair. The warmth reminds everything of the past.

At home

A pretty long journey. When you want to enter the village, many residents who welcome with banners and images of the women's national team.

I was really moved, because they were so excited to welcome me. And I am also embarrassed because I have not been able to successfully bring the name of Indonesia to be a winner.

"Keyla, keyla, keyla"

"Keyla" The cheers were again shouted.

I remember at the time of the 1st champion for the city team, they welcomed happily. And now they welcome me back with great cheers.

"Mom, look. They won't look at you as a whore anymore. And now you stay here, never go far" I told you.

"Thank you son, I won't leave you again" I couldn't help but cry. His eyes were puffy and his wish was wandering around. Maybe think about his past.

My mother hugged me tightly. His eyes seemed to say that he would never leave my life again.

"Haiii, Mom, Dad, Guys" The festive welcome made me feel good. I greeted him with a wave of hands from the car.

Arriving at my house, it turns out that many of them have welcomed him. It turns out not to be a champion just appreciated like this, let alone become a champion.

I'm happy now that my life has changed from the old life. The silent life full of insults was now turned into a cheerful one filled with praise.

"Sir Thank you for all this" I said to the village chief who welcomed me today.

"We should thank you, because even though the national team lost at least the comments mention our village when your name is mentioned Keyla" I smiled.

"How's hand? "

"Just calm sir, it may take a few months to recover" I said, smiling.

Many have asked for my signature. Fortunately, the left hand hurt so I could sign for them.

Some of them also want to take photos together. In an instant I became a female player that many people idolized. Even the family of the tarkam team also came to welcome.

Not only that, Ari and Yuri's family are very happy to be present in my house. Congratulations on the success of entering the national team. They say failure is the beginning of a resurrection of the heart that is never discouraged.

"Son, I promise I'll take care of you"

"Mom, we can start a new life again" Mom smiled and hugged me.

I stepped into the Yanti family, and then took them all to spend time together. My family, the Yuri family, the Ari family, and the Yanti family.

This is a family gathering moment that I will remember at any time. Their souls are my souls, their laughter is my laughter and their tears are my tears.

Morning

"Mom, key left first"

"Hhhh wait, take your provisions" I smiled, the emptiness in my life is now starting to fill even though it is only living with my mother and Kaira.

"Why mom cooks, mom feet.... "

"Just calm down, the injured mother's leg is not the mother's hand. So you can fry and cook rice" he said with a smile of happiness.

I wanted all of this for a long time, and now I feel it with a different atmosphere. Mom cooked for me and Kaira in a wheelchair. But his spirit still remains the same as before.

Sometimes in silence I feel sad to see the state of motherhood, but in calmness I feel joy because God has returned them in my life.

"Sister wait"

"What's up, kaira? "

"I want to hug you, can I? Because when Dad left for work he must have hugged me" a simple, very meaningful remark.

Until now Kaira does not know if her father has been imprisoned. Mom always said that Kaira's father was out of town and would be home for a long time.

"Come here, my dear sister"

"Yeyyy" Her cheerful laughter, she ran over and hugged me tightly. Mom stared at the warmth of both of us from behind the wall.

I have been guilty of ever feeling jealous of this little girl. I will no longer envy him, and attack us is an inseparable brother.

"You can't be naughty at school, and remember to listen to the teacher there"

"Every sister" Hewed her adorable cheeks was my pleasure.

"The "drug" of tiny hands with a distinctive smile is always a pleasure in itself.

"Mother, father"

"Eh Keyla"

"Key wants to go to school first"

"Yes be careful on the road, son" The hug won't go away even if they're not my real parents.

"A minute, here's the pocket money"

"No ma'am, Keyla already has a lot of money and doesn't need pocket money. Better save this, yeah" Mother's habit of giving me pocket money every time I go to school.

Now it's different again because I've got pocket money from my real mother and also get pocket money from the state.

"Alright, later do not forget to eat at the mother's shop after school yes"

"Ready ma'am" I said with a laugh.

"Son, don't forget to watch Chelsea vs. Mu"

"Okay sir" Happiness and warmth will never go away.

"Mastly Nike and Mbak Yeni are still asleep huh mom? "

"Yes, it's in the room" I smiled cunningly.

Getting into their rooms is my way of putting this naughty action into action. I miss both of them. Because my departure to the national team is long enough. So I'll take my time before I go back to my hometown club again.
