The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
30. Does Brother Dika Like Me?

My voice was running out, but the door was still locked. Is there no one out there so they don't hear my sluggish voice. I am confused because using any means is still the same as not being able to open this door.

"Aaaaaaa" I was upset while kicking a ball that was there in any direction.

*brak brak*

"Please, whoever is outside please" I shouted back again but it seemed to be in vain.

"Who's inside" My eyes were wide open, as if someone had come to help.

"Please, whoever's outside please open the door"

*crack*

"Key you're doing it here"

"Alhamdulillah O Allah" I bow down in gratitude for God sending people to help me out of this darkness. He is Dika's sister.

"Thank you very much" I said to Dika's sister who opened the warehouse door.

"What are you doing here ?"

"I'm locked out" I told her that I wanted to put the ball down but suddenly the door was locked from the outside while I didn't know for sure if the door was locked or if someone had deliberately locked it.

Me and Dika's brother came out of the room. Fortunately, there was Dika's brother who wanted to put the basketball because he finished training. So she heard my voice screaming and banging on the door from inside. And finally Brother Dika once again helped me.

"Who are you going home with? " Ask Dika as we walked through the classroom hallway to the school gate.

"Neither the angkot" I answered briefly

"Just like I'm Key" again he offered me a ride.

"No, I can ride the angkot myself anyway"

"You don't see that it's night and the angkot is no key" For a moment I fell silent as I looked up at the sky. Apparently the twilight has disappeared.

Stars scattered on the clouds along with the moon. seems to want me to follow Dika again, but very lazy if you have to ride with him continue. On the other hand I still do not like Dika's sister, somehow my heart never good and melted to her. On the other hand I had no choice and had to go with him.

"So wait, I want to come with brother" I stopped Dika's footsteps who walked to the bike parking lot. I finally went home with my sister again. Fortunately our house is one way but Dika's brother's house is still too far away compared to my house.

"Well that dong, it's good if gini" Her sneaky smile was again visible from her lips. I really don't want to be pigeonholed by brother. But there was no other choice and I had to put aside my ego rather than risk waiting for those unforeseen nights.

"No grip" he asked as I was riding a motorcycle.

"I don't want to cross" I said. Brother Dika suddenly immediately launched his motorbike with a fast. I was shocked and almost bounced. My hand held on to Dika's shoulder for fear of falling. Kak Dika Sangant fast motorcycle speed as if you want to do motorcycle racing only. I tried to survive by holding onto Dika's shoulder.

*crittt*

"Astaghfirullah "My words are spontaneous. My body seemed to be pulled forward because of the sudden action of Dika ngerem. I squeezed his back with all my might so that my body would not stick with his body.

"Can't drive anyway" I'm upset with him

"Sorry, sorry, there was someone crossing" After that Dika's brother returned to drive the motor until he reached the intersection.

*crittt*

"Thank you brother" I got off the bike and thanked him. Then hurry to go home.

"Well, thank you? " wanted

"Oh yeah forget, this" I went back to him and gave the 10 thousand as the cost of gasoline for driving me.

"It's not a key, what kind of motorcycle am I?"

"Then? " Many

"You don't want to take me to your house? " I fell silent and tried to look around the neighborhood. Staring to the left right seemed deserted no neighbors. Even the houses are closed.

"Sorry, my mother's father is out again, next time it's brother" I said back to lying to him

"But key.... "

"Being home, this quiet neighborhood is not comfortable to see by the neighbors let alone it's night" I explained to him.

"All right I go home first huh" Her smile widened pretending, though her heart was still pondering over failing to visit my house.

"Yes be careful brother" My reply was still the same cold tone. Brother Dika waved his hand and then forwarded his motorbike at high speed. But I just kept quiet and didn't return the hand.

I don't understand with Dika's sister, why she suddenly came into my life. At first he was angry at me, then drove me well up to 2 times. Whether there is a disguised intent or indeed he is truly sincere, but I still do not understand and do not want to be taken for granted. Maybe he just wanted to help a fellow human being.

As usual, she was waiting for me in front of her house. His eyes looked worried because I hadn't been home until night. He thought he was looking for me, his smile was gone while waiting for me.

After I came, his eyes were happy again. His smile was like welcoming a child. His anxiety was always given to me, Nike and Ms. Yeni. Never discriminate, because a mother's feelings will never lie.

As usual I shook hands with the mother who was standing worried, then returned home with the food she cooked. He said he cooked a lot of fish. That's why he gave a special to me who really likes the barge of the shade. Clean yourself up first and then eat your mother's delicious dishes.

The feeling of fullness makes my sleepiness come. Tiredness is also in my mind. My concern is still flying, why was I the only one who was told to take the ball. Or maybe the next day the change of friends who took the ball and me who played.

Postive thinking is the best way to rest the brain so as not to have too many bad thoughts. Deep in the silence of a beautiful night. I deliberately opened a little window so that the night breeze came in and cooled the soul.

06.05

Hurry up to go to school in the morning. Run small to the streets and ride the angkot that has come. Don't forget to say hello to those closest to me that I love so much. Then see the morning scenery although not as beautiful as imagined. The police have always been one of the most hated. Motor vehicles even got stuck. But most importantly I got to school quickly.

Walk through the classroom. Stepping while singing to get rid of the morning.

\*byurrrr\*

"Aaaa, astaghfirullah"

"Hahahhahhaha" The rumbling in the hallway of the classroom rang, as a bucket of water landed on my shirt and made everything wet.

What a shit morning. All my body was soaking wet, my eyes kept looking for who did this. At first glance my eyes saw ana and her grip passing through me with the cynical smile she showed. His eyes stared happily as if saying he finished doing his activities.

\*brakkk\* good kick, the bucket landed on Ana's head and covered her face.

"Hahahhaha" Rumbles of laughter again increasingly crowded adorn the hallway. Silence when insulted is not the best thing, but fighting is the best way so that the self is not always trampled.

\*brak\* Ana throws the bucket hard on the floor until it breaks. I still kept silent watching Ana's anger. It's funny this boy, he who makes it even he who

it exploded because Amara was alone.

"Bad you key"

"You think I'm going to be quiet, not senior" my Ejek told Ana with a smile like her.

"Aaaaaaaa, feel this"

Ana's hysterical screams tried to kick the bucket to hit my head.

\*blak\*

The bucket landed but not on my face but on the back of Dika's leg who tried to block. He was standing right in front of me, and his hands were protecting my head.

"You gapapa? " Tell Dika's sister to me

"Sir, I'm fine" Dika's sister turned to look at Ana.

"What do you want Ana"

"It's not my fault Dika" His hand tried to hold Dika's arm.

"It's not your fault you put the bucket on top and make it fall on the body of the key until he gets wet" Anger kaka peaked.

"But it's not....... "

"Enough Ana, I saw it all. You're outrageous"

"But Dika, Dika wait I still love you"

"We're no longer in touch" Sis insisted, and he immediately took me away and protected my body with his jacket so as not to get cold. I just shut up and go with him.

Now I understand why Ana always hurts me. First of all, he must be vengeful for being expelled from the OSIS membership because of me. The second maybe he felt that I grabbed Dika's sister. I have no feelings for Dika's sister. I also don't know what love or dating is. All I know is the affection and love from the hands of a mother who was willing to embrace me even though I was not born from her womb.

"You just take a used shirt in the shed, there are still many decent clothes" Brother Dika brought me to stop in front of the shed. Sure enough there when I entered there were still many clothes that were worth wearing. I picked it up and ran to the bathroom to change.

"Sister, thank you for the jacket" I walked over to Dika's foot who was sitting in the front garden of the toilet. It seemed like he was waiting for me, then I returned his jacket and he just picked it up then nodded.

"Why is Brother Dika so good with me? " Tanyaku to Dika's sister. All this time I have been with him. Maybe my annoyance is still there but brother Dika is always good and helps me.

Brother Dika just fell silent without a sound. Then he turned his body around to face me. I was surprised when he suddenly looked me straight in the eye. I don't understand what he's going to do either.

"I like you Key" I'm surprised to hear that. What he meant, we just got to know him and as seniors and juniors then what he thinks to say that I don't understand.

"What do you mean, brother?"

"I love it with you key, are you I'm my girlfriend" Her hand tried to hold my hand. Then I ran away from her and got out of my seat.

"Please, I don't have time to play flavor. My dream is still long, brother, please do not be destroyed" I said, because at this time I have never thought about the taste of men. I don't know what's on my mind with women of my age who play love until dating. But a single record of courtship has not crossed this mind.

"I don't want to destroy the dream you have, Key, I just want to love you with all my heart. My feeling never lies when I'm close to you I feel comfortable key"

"I never choose to be loved, but I just want to focus on my dreams. Let us be friends, brother" I said and left Dika's sister there alone.

I never expected that Dika's sister would so quickly declare her love. We had just met but she had already loved without knowing any further. I can only refuse him and avoid him. Maybe that's the best way to make me more comfortable.

Because of Dika's sister, my focus was lost when the first hour lesson began. I think it's getting flatter everywhere. But why at a time like this I think of David too. I always look forward to David coming to this city again. I also hope David comes home and plays ball with me again.

In my mind there are men I love, Riki, Ari and David. Only they can bring my smile back. While Dika's brother I do not understand why in my heart there is never a name for him. There are only a few virtues that always help me when I need them. But his name doesn't stick out as great as my best friend.

\*ttttt\*

The school bell rang, the final lesson was over and it was time to return home. As usual I walked in the middle of the classroom hallway with Ari and Yuri. The three of us were always joking and laughing. But my heart is not joking at the moment. And I just choose to be quiet or just pretend to laugh.
