The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
85. Comforting Father

Mom approached me and wondered about the development of his current football career. Mom's attention exceeded my attention on the ball. Even mothers always forbid to eat fried food.

"Very good ma'am, the training was very, very good ma'am" I said to show that everything was fine. Even though my day hurts, I don't want to tell my mom. Let me feel this pain.

Even if Rey did something that scared me, let me keep it so as not to add to the burden of my mind. Even I didn't tell you about me discovering mom's whereabouts.

Every time I go to the shop I help my mom wash the dishes. Sometimes I also help sell rice, because my father and mother once taught me how to sell rice to buyers. So I can now take care of my own stall when mom again permits prayer.

"Key, you're going to have the final game tomorrow? " His hands were busy selling rice to the buyers. But his mind was busy watching the progress of the match about me.

"Yes ma'am, if you win then you can compete outside the city" I tell and share the fun with mom. To let you know that I have to stay strong and develop to be a national team player.

"Wah crazy key is very good, competing outside the city is very good for your career key" said the village fathers next to the mother who also bought rice.

They also tell us that if we play consistently then it will get very good results. And do not rule out the possibility of being able to follow the national team selection.

"Really sir" I got out of the dishwasher to hear the father's story.

He said what I have to think about is the appearance by showing the best skill, if the windfall then there will be a national team coach who comes looking for superior seeds in the village pelosk.

"Yes key, I was a ball player. But due to heartbreak, the game of the father decreased and was removed from the club" It turns out that this father's story is also sad. Mood is very influential in the development of appearance.

"Excite sir, hopefully the father will be the best player in the future". Mumbled to him.

Little did I give encouragement to the father who lost his dream to wrestle on the ball field because only a matter of heart that disturbed his life so he chose to hang his shoes early on.

"Aamiin, thank you Key for your prayers"

"Yes sir are both"

"This is the money, I say yes ma'am"

"Yes sir" The father left the stall and I continued my activities helping my mother.

Mom said I should not give up, should be excited, should not despair, should not be easily satisfied and the most important thing is to pray.

Great players do not grow out of money, but great players will grow out of effort and hard work. Everything takes a process, no great player in the world gets everything instantly. Because everyone has their own process.

When my mom's shop was closed, we both went home. It turns out that Nike has come and they both have wiped the father's body with warm water. He is also better because he can talk more than yesterday.

"Key eat first gih, mbak buy food for you and your parents" Lately mbak Nike often buy rice or just side dishes outside. Because I rarely cook at home since I got sick.

"Alhamdulillah, we are also hungry ma'am" I said gladly to mother and rushed to fetch some food.

"Oh yes, have you all eaten yet?" my many.

"Had Key, Yeni was eating. I also had Yeni who was bribing porridge. After that I took the medicine" Sahut mbak Nike explained.

"Alhamdulillah, yes, I ate first, son"

"Good ma'am" Mom and I ate together in the kitchen.

I'm doing well. Even though my brain continues to lapse the mind that controls this life. Thoughts about anything and never end.

At nightfall, as usual I slept one room with Yeni's mom and Nike's mom. This time I slept in bed alone, while Mbak Yeni and mbak Nike slept in one bed. He said that Yeni was lazy to sleep with me because she always got hit. I don't think so, because I sleep normally.

"You sleep here yeah, watch out move" his eyes glared at me.

"Yes my dear Yeni, key here is not everywhere anyway" My voice softly with a sneaky smile to prank Yeni. But when the cunning thoughts passed, I fell silent because we should not be noisy when the father's situation is like this.

"Yes already mbak, key sleep first yes" I said a lie, because I kept thinking about the attitude of the mother who drove me away like that.

I have to say what else when you don't want me. Mom and Dad have a life with their partner.

"It's very cruel of you" I muttered with the walls of the room full of posters. I still can't believe that parents don't acknowledge their children.

I don't know why they're so easy to sacrifice my wisdom so great. Sacrificing my life for their own. He said parents would love their children at any time, but it was different from me. Because whenever happiness never approached from the hands of father and mother.

"One time the key will point at you, if the key is not the garbage you throw away" my eyes glazed over remembering everything that has happened.

My nose is blocked because it's holding back the pain. I know God is good and everything will go quietly under the hand of God the Creator of all nature. One day there will be a lot of love coming to me.

"Key you cry? " Mr Yeni suddenly turned my sleeping body back to their mattress.

"No, the key is just a cold" I don't want them to know about my sadness. I just want to live a happy life with this family.

"Oh, if it's sleep, it's night. If you need to take medicine first" Yeni told me then she returned to her bed.

"Good mbak".

I tried to close the problem even though it was hard but had to be forced. I had to fall asleep so that all my troubles were quickly forgotten. I'm sure if the dream is more beautiful, and hope in the dream I meet with grandfather again.

Beautiful morning, I must smile and not show any wounds. I have to live a good life and I deserve to be happy. Although my happiness is lived without the support of both parents. Because I assume they don't care about me anymore.

"Buk, key wants to go" I said as I approached the mother who was preparing to go to the stall. Usually the mother will leave at dawn, because the father is sick so the mother leaves rather late.

"Yes son, here's mom in the back" I say goodbye to mom for school. Do not forget to say goodbye also with mbak Yeni and mbak Nike who are still missing after dawn prayers.

The habits of both of them are always like that, maybe they are very tired. Sometimes they also help mothers to prepare sales materials. Then go back to sleep, the molder.

Next I went to the father's room, sighing to always look excited in front of the father.

"Good morning, father" I said, smiling at my father who was awake.

"By son" Although his voice was still weak, his lips still smiled at me.

"Sir before Key left for school, look at Key playing ball sir" I picked up the ball and played with his Mendrible. I was excited to see him even though his body was still weak and could not sit.

"Let's welcome the slurred ball made by Keyla, can penetrate the guard in the back line of the opponent. Able to outwit the movement, Keyla has arrived in front of the white spot and a good kick. Gollllll, a very pretty goll key" My voice mimicked the commentator when the national team played. I think of him as a national team player.

"The beautiful goal is able to nest and tear the goal next country, Keyla is currently a defender who is very coveted by this country. Finally appeared also the best defender of the daughter" Seeing the father more smiling, I comforted him again. I want you to be happy even though your body is in pain.

"What is this, when it is early in the morning it is noisy" said the mother who went into the father's room and approached me. His face was a cheerful smile when he saw me playing ball and comforting my father.

"Keyla wants to show the gaffer a skil like a national team player" I said to mom while showing the ball in hand.

"Now it's time to leave, you're late" said the mother while showing the wall clock in the father's room.

"Eh yes ma'am, key forgot so cool to play ball to entertain the father" My hand patted the eel because he forgot that he had to leave so as not to be late.

"Sana say goodbye to you, continue to leave immediately" he asked me. I say goodbye to my mom and dad and go to school.

Go up the angkot as usual. This time I didn't say hello to Riki and Abi sir because I was afraid of being late. Arriving in the middle of the trip, the angkot I rode was jammed. Fortunately, there was Doni, I immediately left with Doni on a motorcycle.

"There are many Don, if you don't, I'll be late for school" I said, overshadowed by the harshness of the street wind.

"Yes Key, Same. I'm happy to go with you, if we can go out together every day" he cried because Doni's speed made a small sound.

I'm confused what to say, on the other hand I don't want any misunderstanding between me and David. On the other hand, I also want to appreciate Doni who has offered kindness to me.

"Yes, I'll call you later" said my safer friend to think about it later. Doni was so good to me anyway, I've considered him a good friend ever since.

"Yes okay, oh yeah Key tomorrow I want to watch your last game" he said again

"But you're Don's school"

"Snooch me"

\*plak\* my hand hit him right away, it's good that he skipped school just to see me fight. Education is more important than anything.

"No, no, just wait for the next game"

"No way" Doni was speeding on the streets and making me almost uprooted. Fortunately, I hugged him so he wouldn't fall. Not long after that we arrived at school.

"Crazy, why are you speeding "My screams with annoyance when you get off the Doni bike.

"Fear of being late"

"That's it, let's go in" I walked with him through the school hallway.

I also met David who was with Adel. Usually my heart hurts a lot, but how else because it looks like Adel has power over David.

"Dear me, let's go to class" My heart was jealous when Adel was writhing spoiled in David's arms.

I could only see it when they overtook me and Doni. While David looked at me with a meaningful look inside him, it seemed like he was very depressed with adel.

"Let's go to class" As I looked up at David, Doni also grabbed my hand and asked to hurry up to the classroom. My class and Doni are next door.

"Oh yes key, at the end of the month I want to debut in the key city team" said Doni while holding me running.

"Key, key, key" The little punch from Doni's hand shook me.

"Eh yes Don sorry" So busy seeing David and Adel, I forgot to listen to Doni.

"Yes what's up Don" I asked again about what Doni was talking about.

"I call the end of the month with the city team, you watch ya key" he said happily to me. I'm also happy to hear the news, meaning that doni has made some progress

"God willing I'll watch if I don't hit Don's schedule" said I.

"Siapp key, I'm going to class first"

"Yes don" Arriving in front of the class we parted ways, I entered the class and so did Doni

And in the classroom I saw Adel and David. They are like a queen and a king. Moreover, adel is pretentious, but still look forward to dora from him. Very upset looking at his face and his behavior spoiled David. Makes me want to vomit in front of him.

"Surge, higher. If dating do not in the middle of the road I want to pass" Ketusku while pushing bada Adel because nyempil in the middle so I can not enter.

"What the hell, this class has you. You poor man" He replied to me with a talk I didn't need to listen to.

I shut up and looked at him deeply. Seeing her look like a headscarf mom with a very excessive makeup. Then taunt him to make him upset.

"Nyenyenye" My subject to her

"Ihhhh, you poor man. This time you must be envious see me the same David said aja" Brazen grandma dropped by the second. Wanted to be punched like that. But never mind, it seems like I'm also crazy if I obey his words.
