Vibration of the Heart of Nirmala
Play Basketball

Nirmala smiled again.

"I'm fascinated by your basketball. When you're on the basketball court, you're good at your game, you're talented." Answer Nirmala.

"really? Is it true you're just fascinated with my basketball game?" tanya Tirta is full of search.

"Ah, that's it. Forget it, I have misjudged you. I'll go home first." Said Tirta again.

He got up and walked slowly away from Nirmala. Nirmala was stunned again, she did not expect Tirta to be so offended by his statement earlier.

"Be careful." Nirmala.

Tirta did not reply, he just raised his right hand without looking back.

Nirmala then went into her house and stepped into her room, her steps up the stairs. Arriving in the room, he continued his biological memorandum, this time he did not memorize on the study table but on the mattress until he did not feel he fell asleep with his reading book.

To esokan day ...

The warm air in the morning as if hugging the slim body of Nirmala accompanied her trip to school. He inhaled a deep breath of air and enjoyed the cool air after a few minutes on the bus. Finally he arrived at school, he was still carried away by the pleasure of warm air in the morning. As usual, Nirmala prefers to go to school by bus or motorcycle. Rarely take a taxi or his father's private car.

Slowly Nirmala began to walk through the school gate. Other students also appeared to pass through the gate. Nirmala stepped up with an ever-expanding smile. Her face was radiantly beautiful like a goddess. Just as she reached her class, suddenly a bell rang the sign of school entrance. A teacher entered his classroom.

"Good morning, kids." As a teacher in the classroom, the students stood up neatly and watched him.

The students answered his teacher's greetings.

"Good morning, teacher." The disciples answered while standing, then they sat back down after the teacher had invited them.

Before reading the absence, the teacher circulated his gaze throughout the classroom. Then his eyes stopped on the bench of Nirmala and also Bharata.

"Bharata, where's your partner, Tirta? Did he not go in again?" ask the teacher.

"It looks like Tirta's not coming in anymore sir." Answer Bharata.

Tirta is famous as a genius child but he often skipped school. He never made trouble at school, but outside of school he reportedly likes to fight and brawl with children from other schools. Even though he is an outstanding student, his ranking is always good in his class, besides that he is also always a mainstay of the basketball team in school.

Tirta seems not to be a child who likes to learn in class. He did not look serious every time the teacher gave a lesson, but strangely he was very genius and always ranked third class after Ruby, of course the first rank was always achieved by Nirmala.

"Nirmala, you didn't see Anah today, where is she?" the teacher asked Nirmala.

"It hurts sir." Answer Nirmala briefly.

"I don't like the view of the empty chairs, Darren you moved to sit with Bharata. And you're Jeff, sitting next to Nirmala, the class will be starting soon."

Jeff nodded excitedly and immediately sat down beside Nirmala. Secretly Jeff glanced at Nirmala who was sitting to his left. He gasped in surprise when Nirmala suddenly turned to him and then looked back at the teacher. But even though he was shocked by Nirmala's view earlier, he still did not stop stealing the girl's eyes on his left side.

He did not focus on the lessons his teacher conveyed but only focused on looking at Nirmala. She felt very lucky to be sitting next to him. Sitting down with the sweet girl in her heart certainly makes her feel very lucky. Today Jeff feels very grateful because Anah did not enter, as well as Tirta. Fate is really on his side.

Only this time he was grateful that Tirta did not enter school, usually he always relied on Tirta in every school assignment. Sometimes they are noisy. Tirta was never stingy to share the answers to her classmates. And Jeff who never seriously studied, always cheating the results of Tirta's work.

Nirmala is indeed a sweet girl, her aura is positive so many people like her. Jeff's mind kept looking at him.

His smile was so sincere and sweet, he was also a smart kid at school. Inner again.

His eyes were glowing, his hair was long and curls were on the ends. His long eyelashes are very charming, the shape of his eyebrows are beautiful like a crescent moon makes his eyes have its own charm. It was like a good dream to be able to sit with him. Occasionally Jeff pinched his own cheeks to confirm this fact. Now Jeff can have a chance to get closer to the beautiful girl next to him.

Suddenly the teacher left the room. Making Jeff even happier because he can be free to tease Nirmala without fear of reprimand from the teacher. But unfortunately, the plan can not go smoothly because Salsa began to bother him. Salsa immediately approached the bench Nirmala and Jeff. Jeff glared, feeling a little annoyed because Salsa suddenly appeared and disturbed his concentration. Concentrate on enjoying the beauty that is beside him.

"Nirmala, can you move out of here?" Salsa suddenly.

Jeff becomes increasingly annoyed with Salsa interfering with his fun. Especially when Nirmala moves out. Jeff fights Salsa and tells Salsa to leave, but Salsa does not budge.

Nirmala just smiled looking at Salsa and Jeff's very opposite reaction. Salsa doesn't like Nirmala sitting on her bench, while Jeff tries to keep Nirmala sitting.

"Sorry Jeff, it's not that I don't like sitting with you, but I don't feel comfortable being here." Nirmala said while grinning at Jeff.

Salsa was happy to make Nirmala move, while Jeff was very upset. Jeff sighed, he looked towards Salsa with a stern look, while Salsa looked at him with a triumphant satisfied face.

Nirmala then tidied up her book so that she could immediately move out of her current bench. He then walked over and chose to sit next to Ruby.

"Hi, Ruby." Nirmala said as she sat next to Ruby.

"Hi, Mala. It's good to be sitting with you." Ruby Saying.

Nirmala is also very happy to be sitting with Ruby, more fun sitting next to Ruby than sitting next to Jeff who has never been serious about learning and continues to disturb her.

Salsa now sits closer to Jeff. He tried to find information about the state of Anah, however the accident that befell Anah was actually his act.

"Jeff, how's Anah's condition?" Ask Salsa with a face mimic made to look like a sympathetic person.

"He's okay, why?"

"It's okay, I'm just asking, it's all because of Nirmala, she's the one who made Anah that way." Answer Salsa.

When Salsa wanted to invite Jeff to chat again, suddenly Jeff took out an ipad, put on a headset and was busy listening to music while also mumbling singing the song he heard. Jeff did not want to hear what Salsa said, he felt Salsa was lying. Because Jeff was convinced, Nirmala wasn't the girl Salsa was talking about.

Feeling ignored by Jeff, Salsa was increasingly upset. Not long after the break bell rang, Nirmala immediately cleared her book and went to the library. Jeff followed her. Today is his lucky day, there is no Tirta, nor is Anah the bully of his day.

Suddenly a beautiful hijab teacher greeted Nirmala as well as Jeff who was right behind Nirmala.

"Mala, because Anah is sick. For the preparation of the Camp later, you can help you to prepare needs that are still lacking? Time to stay 3 more days. Can you?" Pinta the teacher.

"Jeff, that's part of your job too, right?"

"Thank you Mala." The teacher leaves Jeff and Nirmala.

Jeff was so happy. Her face was so bright, to her it was as meaningful as a date together, preparing the equipment for the camp. As far as Jeff is concerned, there is only one tent with the frame and pegs. The others Anah and Darren have prepared. So it wouldn't be too much trouble and he could have plenty of time to walk together with Nirmala.

***

After school, Jeff who had prepared neatly headed straight to Nirmala's house. He can't wait to meet. Arriving in front of Nirmala's house, Nirmala was waiting for him. Not long after they go and immediately get what they are looking for and then continue to go to school and put it there for later on in uniting with other equipment.

There are still many teachers who are in school, after their assignments are completed. Nirmala's coming home, Jeff's after her.

"Mala, wait." Jeff ran after Nirmala.

"Is there anything else Jeff? Our job is done, I'm going straight home." Nirmala.

"You want not to? We're going to go to the cinema today." Take Jeff expectantly.

"No way, I want to go home." Nirmala.

Jeff continued to beg Nirmala to go to the cinema with him while Nirmala still refused.

"I said no, yeah no. You are really maksa." Nirmala said a little annoyed.

Suddenly Tirta came to surprise them. Tirta did not attend school, but now she is seen wearing a t-shirt and shorts and holding a basketball, a small towel and mineral water. He looked a little sweaty, like he was out playing basketball.

"If you don't want to be forced." Tirta.

Jeff was annoyed by his very disturbing presence.

"Nirmala's going to go to the movies with me, it's Mala." Tirta said suddenly while bringing her face closer to Nirmala's face.

Jeff pulled her away. Jeff and Tirta were again involved in a commotion.

Nirmala was disturbed to see those who were always noisy and intended to leave them, but Tirta prevented it.

"Mala, you can't go. You gotta pick one of us, you wanna watch Jeff or me?" Ask Tirta.

At first Nirmala stopped, but then she walked again. But Tirta blocked his steps. Jeff was a little worried because Tirta was secretly a rude person. Nirmala who felt threatened finally opened her mouth.

"Okay, I want to watch one of you. But there's a condition." Nirmala without thinking.

"What's the condition?" Tirta and Jeff asked at the same time.

For a moment Nirmala thought, she was a bit confused by the conditions she would apply because in fact she was just the origin of talking. But then he saw the basketball in Tirta's hands and immediately he said to them to fight the game of basketball. He who wins can watch with him.

"Jeff, you should be able to beat Tirta playing one-on-one basketball." Answer Nirmala.

"If your score is the same, it means you both lose, only the superior can watch a movie with me." Nirmala said and left in front of Tirta and Jeff.

Tirta did not believe that Nirmala would apply for such easy terms, he was the captain of the basketball team. Playing basketball is his daily meal, until now no other student can match him. And that means, the hope of watching the cinema will both be realized soon.

"Well, tomorrow after school we'll start the game, get yourself ready, Jeff." Tirta said with a big smile.

Jeff smiled too.

"Every day I also play Tirta basketball, so don't be happy just yet because I will definitely beat you." Said Jeff.

"We'll see tomorrow." Tirta said as she passed leaving a smile of arrogance.

***

The sun was shining quite bright this afternoon. School is over. Tirta prepared to bounce the basketball that he had been holding tightly. Jeff was also prepared to prevent him from entering the basketball.

A one-on-one basketball game between Jeff and Tirta will begin. They've done this before in the break. But now that they did it after school, this match was more serious because Nirmala asked for it. Some of the students who were seen still wandering around the school became interested to see. They don't want to waste the opportunity to see Jeff and Tirta pitting agility to play basketball.

Nirmala also watched the basketball game that was ready to start. He wanted to know how tough Jeff was who always bothered him. Nirmala was secretly amazed by Jeff's running speed and his ability to jump high and jump far.

At first Tirta was a little trivial about Jeff. He is confident that he can beat Jeff quickly and easily. But he was mistaken, many times Jeff managed to thwart him put the ball into the basket. Even then Jeff got the score first. Nirmala exclaimed to give the loudest spirit.

"Sugoi (great), Jeff!" Nirmala shouted while clapping and smiling at Jeff.

Jeff seemed very excited to have the support of Nirmala. Meanwhile, Tirta looked up at Jeff and looked in wonder at Nirmala who suddenly supported Jeff.

This time Tirta looked even more alert, he couldn't underestimate Jeff anymore. Jeff looked relaxed but serious. Moreover, hearing Nirmala's cry, it made a spirit of its own for him. Tirta was getting riled up, she didn't think that Jeff could be this great. It was not easy for Tirta until he was finally able to get a score. He's trying harder.

Of course as the captain of the basketball team at school he did not want to be humiliated just by the new boy. Especially now that more and more of his school friends are crowding. Finally Tirta could smile somewhat relieved after a while later he could be two points ahead of Jeff's score. But his smile suddenly disappeared when until the time they had determined ran out and their score was a draw.

Tirta was very upset, getting a tie score with Jeff meant he lost. How could he possibly lose to Jeff, his breathing snorted greatly irritated. Jeff took a deep breath and walked over to Tirta and patted his shoulder.

"It's a shame that Tirta, our score is a tie so no one can date her." Jeff said as he glanced towards Nirmala.

Tirta was stunned for a moment trying to quell his anger and followed Jeff out of the field.

"You're great too." Tirta.

"I was captain of the basketball team at my school." Answer Jeff.

Tirta did not expect that Jeff was also a captain of the basketball team. He did not think that his presence at this school could threaten his confidence as the most talented basketball player. Even Nirmala admires his basketball.

"You take it easy, Tirta, I'm not going to be on the basketball team." Jeff tries to refrain from making Tirta worry that his presence will destroy the reputation of his basketball game.

Jeff then approached Nirmala and did not expect, Nirmala looked so happy to welcome him. The girls at his school who have not yet returned to school also welcome Jeff, they make Jeff panic. Jeff was worried that they would hug him so that with a thousand steps running, he pulled Nirmala's hand to run with him to the motorcycle parking lot. While Tirta, he went alone on his motorbike to the ordinary park where he was alone.
