The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
84. Small Family

The next Sunday I do the exercises in a normal place. Practice from morning to noon. As usual when they got home, I practiced again and tried the things Coach taught me. I don't feel satisfied with everything. So I have to try and keep trying.

"You're not coming home" Reyhan suddenly approached me. My heart was a bit agitated, looking around it seemed to be empty. I had to pretend to listen to what he was talking about.

"I tried Rey's long-range kick again" Sahut I tried to be friendly. Because I know Reyhan's fickle nature.

"What are you yourself? "

"I'm waiting for you" The answer doesn't make sense. Why does he keep chasing me and doesn't feel like letting go.

"I think I should go to my friend Rey's house, I'll go first" I'll put the ball in the bag. No need to change clothes again, my steps immediately rushed out of the field.

"Wait for Key I'll drive you"

"Don't" yell at him. Reyhan's steps stopped behind me.

"Why, you rejected me. I told you not to mess with me, Keyla"

I took a deep breath, it seemed like my lips were speaking wrongly. Reyhan's face smiled cunningly like changing nature. What should I do, it looks like I'll run out if I stay close to him.

"No, no, I have important business. So I'm...." I tried to explain but Reyhan gripped my hand tightly.

"You should come with me Keyla" The scary look from Rey, she looks really angry if I refuse her. He's the crazy guy I'm meeting right now.

Reyhan came closer and held my hand tight. His eyes forced me to follow his will. I'm really afraid he's doing something reckless right now. It was obvious from the small smile on his lips.

*bukk* I kicked him and rushed to get out of this place. I ran as hard as I could and Reyhan also chased after me.

"Keyla wait, I won't hurt you" he shouted loudly as he chased after me. Her quick steps almost offset my steps.

*brakkk* I fell to the floor when I hit someone.

"Hey keyla, are you okay? " My eyes widened when I saw the person I hit was Rey's father.

"No Coach, I'm fine" I said as I occasionally looked back. Reyhan's steps are getting closer to us.

"Reyhan you're doing" his father snapped at Rey. I immediately rushed to see the situation in order to escape from it.

"No, Rey was just playing with Key" she said, smiling cunningly at me.

"Coach, key go home firstwell" I ran right away leaving them both. As Rey wanted to chase, her father held her hand tightly. I finally got away from that strange guy.

My heart is really pounding with fear at this moment. Because Rey's burly hands tightly grip my hands so they look like scars. Fortunately, I was able to run away and leave the man.

"Basic crazy, crazy" I muttered. Searching angkot. Then rushed to find the whereabouts of the mother with the address I already held. Fortunately, the driver knew the area, so I did not bother to look for him again.

When I got there, I rushed down. This place is no stranger to me. My eyes widened again I remembered that I had been to this complex. Hidden alley but plenty of luxury.

"True, this is the place of the bad guys" I muttered after seeing the address photo that was on the phone.

That night I was here, and I almost died here because of the bad people in that illegal place. My heart was worried, wanting to continue the search or not.

"No, no, I have to find mom. I've got to go through this area" by wearing a football shirt and wearing a hat I put in my bag. Find the address of the new mother. It turns out that the address is not far from the illegal place.

Suddenly I saw the car coming out of the house. I wish it was mom's car. I quickly ran and searched for a motorcycle. After I got it I chased the car. We stopped at a very large mall.

Follow him secretly and then hide. How surprised I was when I came out was my mother. Mother with a little boy and a man. Maybe it's my mother's son, what should I do.

"I have to meet mom now" Rushed in and followed them.

They joke cheerfully and shop with excitement. A very lucky daughter feels happy with a small family.

Carried by a father and a mother in turn. That's what I wanted to do before, but it didn't work until I was an adult. When I say I'm envious, I'm really jealous to see it. Moreover, she is my mother.

"Mother" I approached the mother as the man accompanied her son to play at the provided game place.

"Keyla" Mother's eyes seemed frightened to see me. He seemed surprised not to play. It turned out that my wish of meeting my mother greeted with a hug was wrong.

"Mother, why go" I softly held back the cry in front of mother. Mom's eyes didn't lie either because they looked at me with stifled tears.

"Mom, there are too many days that I have left. Key just needs the warmth of mom like before" I said glare at mom. But he just kept quiet and glued. Then occasionally staring at the man and his son as if there was something he was hiding.

Her eyes were like saying she was afraid of being discovered by my present child and husband. But he forgot to think of me who missed him.

"Key, you go home. Not here!" What answer is this Lord, why did you throw me out.

I just wanted to be with him to talk about a lot of things that I have been doing alone all this time.

"But ma'am, Key wants to talk to mom. Key wanted to ask about a lot of things with mom" I held her hand with warmth. I wish I could hold her back, but she wants to take that grip off me forcibly.

"Go home, I hate you. Mom doesn't want to see you" As soon as my world breaks, my heart breaks and cracks.

"If mom hates me, then why always send money to me mom" I snapped again to force mom, to have her answer everything.

"Go home quickly, I don't want to see you. Go home" Mother pushed me by force. He didn't even want to see me here.

"Quick the key home" His hand just kept pushing me violently. But my ego still wants to settle down with mom.

"What is this" Suddenly the man came with his son. I immediately wiped away the falling tears and pretended nothing had happened.

"Father" I murmured inwardly, it was true that he was the husband of the new mother. And the little boy was right his son.

"But it looks like you guys were making a fuss"

"No, pa, he's just...... " Not done yet mother spoke, I immediately cut off the conversation.

"Sorry, I was wrong. I thought she was my mother and I was wrong. Because my mother went to leave her son alone om" I muttered to him while revealing the contents of my true heart.

"I... Yes reward, she's wrong" Sahut mother said to her husband. As if he was justifying the scenario I said. He also corrected that he did not recognize me.

"Oh, papa guess why ma" Sahutya believes in mother.

"If you may know, how could your mother do that? " The question came back from the man, making the mother even more speechless.

"Okay, maybe because of the treasure. Okay aunt, I go first yes" Pamit me while waving my hand.

As my body turned around, my tears were pouring down. Another disappointment I got. I hate him and I hate him. I kept running out and lost my way again. I don't know where the most important thing is to find the heart right now.

This time, without purpose. Run to the beach and scream loudly there. Shouted to the sky, why neither of my parents wanted me. I was wrong for living.

"Lord, what's my fault. No one wants to give me God's love"

"Corn, can you send me the answers you lost. In my gray heart. Can you also send rain as my fatigue. My soul is a piteous no man"

The first rejection came from a father who did not regard me as his son so as to make myself reviled and insulted. Now the rejection came from a mother who considered me as a stranger.

"Aaaaaaaa, can I hate all God" My hand kept hitting the rocks on the shore. Hitting hard without feeling like a heartless mother as well.

There is no comforting twilight, there is only a humorous orange. Buried happiness for a while until I lost my way. Burying loyalty waiting for longing, the end of which is delivered but not avenged anyway.

This time I felt such a deep pain. Abandoned by my father, abandoned by my mother, no one even wants to admit me openly. Either to the closest person or to the world.

"What's this thing called a time bomb? Surprising and painful. It's a good thing I didn't die" I muttered staring at the growing waves.

Why should I be born, if their love is never given. When their love is cut off by separation. When the love of them is harbored by a bad view applied.

I sat down enjoying the waves that threatened the rare rock. Maybe that's my picture that right now trouble is trying to hit me hard. I will be a solid rock, still standing strong even if hit repeatedly.

I can also be a wave, go around the ocean and hit the small corals that he laid on the edge. Likewise, like my problems that I will throw one by one to bring me strong to live life.

"Key, you can't cry. You have to be strong and accept anything. Said grandfather and father, you must be strong key" Gumamku advised himself under a slight breeze.

The waves became a silent witness to the burning crying. Disappointment when ingampie eliminates everything. All love, but I still remember that there are mothers and fathers in the house who will bring thousands of love. Even Nike and Yeni are doing the same thing.

*pok, pok, pok*my hand slapped this little cheek to realize that desire is not in reality.

But I can't stay here too long. I had to go home quickly because my father was sick. I have to go home soon, forget about this matter because it is not important to drag on in grief. There's still a future I have to find.

One day my father and mother will regret for throwing me away. I'll prove to them that I can. It can be the pride of everyone even I should be able to become the pride of the country.

"Astaghfirullah, I forgot" I forgot something. Instantly my hand wiped away the tears that had already dripped and cleared away the snot of sadness.

"Father's medicine" Tadi mbak Yeni sent me a message to buy the father's medicine before going home. I rushed to the pharmacy before it was too late.

I left the beach and went to the pharmacy. Riding on the train and then after that I went back home. Giving the father's medicine in accordance with the doctor's prescription. Caring for your father like your own parents.

This time all I thought about was my father and mother and nothing else. Because both my parents didn't want me for whatever reason. I just want to make my mom and dad happy until the end of my life.

At Home

"Assalamu'alaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam, how do you buy the father's medicine key? " Mr Yeni came out from inside the house when she heard my voice.

"Sudha kok mbak, how are you?"

"Alhamdulillah father is fine really" I immediately went to the father's room to make sure that the father is okay. Thank goodness my father's condition is getting better.

"Mother in the stall alone huh mbak? " Tanyaku on mbak Yeni while changing clothes.

"Yes, I don't want to go there but my mother said that she was told to take care of her father while online college" I speeded up to change clothes and clean myself and then rushed to my mother's place.

"Where are you going to Key? "

"Key wants to help mom at the barung mbak. Key tipped the father yes" I said as I rushed out to go to the mother's stall.

"OK ready key, be careful yes" This time we share the task. Ma'am Yeni take care of you, mbak Nike works for money and I help mom at the stall.

During this time the mother's stalls are always crowded and usually the father who helps the mother, but the father is sick. Although alone mother still open a stall, sometimes I also lose it. Because if you do not open a stall then the mother will not have money to finance her life. Because the money mbak Nike used to cost mbak Yeni college. Maybe that's the reason why Nike got married.

"Assalamu'alaikum ma'am, sorry key is late" Reached mom's hand and shook hands

"Yes gapapa, how can training be good sis?" Mom always hates my ball development. Even my mother always paid the number one attention to my career development. Because my mother is the best mother in the world. I love him so much.
