"Kenzo, please don't be like this" said Eel, who felt so guilty to Kenzo and his friends. All this because he's the one who spoke. So Kenzo knows the secrets they keep as best they can. But this afternoon it's all over. Not only could they not keep up with the prestigious match between capitals. But their best friend, who was Captain Basketball for two years, resigned. It was as if he had fallen, hit the stairs.
"I'm sorry, I can't" Kenzo replied in a soft voice. Lying if he is not sad and hit with his decision. However, Kenzo had to do everything. Not just for their friendship. But to maintain the relationship between him and his wife. Kenzo will be married to Salsa not for a week or a month. Salsa will know this one day and will be disappointed in him. Kenzo promised his wife that she would never disappoint him again.
If he's honest now and explains everything to Salsa. It would definitely be a problem too, as Kenzo was still the Captain of his Team. Kenzo made that decision. Disappointing to his friends and himself. Feeling useless as Captain, so his Team cheated.
"Ken, I beg you, don't come out. Let me leave our team and I'll apologize to Arsya, because all this is purely my fault" Andra said again begging.
"Andra, this isn't Elo's own fault. But we're all wrong. We should have nasehatin Elo, because we all know that cheating is wrong. But what, me and the others immediately agreed. Unlike Kenzo who always challenges when we make mistakes," said Yogi did not want Andra out of their team. Really a tough choice. Both Kenzo and Andra are all their best friends.
Chequek!
While they were arguing. The door of the room where Ayla was accompanying her resting daughter, opened slightly. Ayla comes out after Salsa sleeps and hears that her daughter-in-law's debate is getting longer.
"Ma, where's Salsa?" kenzo asked deliberately to divert the conversation. Because she didn't want her mother-in-law to know about their problems. Same with his other best friend.
"Salsa was sleeping again, she seemed to be very exhausted" Ayla replied walking towards the empty sofa and sitting in front of all of them.
"This is why the food and drink are only seen? Aunty had bought it because she knew that a friend of Aunt's children would come here," said Ayla staring at them one by one. The faces of the youngsters looked very agitated, as their problems with Kenzo were not yet resolved. However, Ayla was already out of the room.
"Thank you Auntie, I'm sorry we've been such a hassle" they replied in unison.
"It's okay, now let's eat the food and enjoy the drink as well, because to argue you need energy, right." sibir Ayla was anxious with everything.
"Ma-I mean, Tan?" eel asked stammered, fearing that the middle-aged woman would hear the conversation of those who had wanted to harm Arsya.
"You're talking about who's going to be Captain Basket, right?" ayla answered, explaining.
"Ma, a-did Mama hear that?" Kenzo stuttered. Just know if right now their hearts are all beating fast enough, including Kenzo himself.
"Of course you heard everything, you argued for quite a while, so where could Mama not hear it," it felt like Ayla wanted to laugh out loud looking at her daughter-in-law's agitated face. "Don't be surprised, the room isn't soundproof. So you can hear your conversation" replied the young mother smiling.
"Ta-tan, I-I-"
Kleeek!
The sound of the door of the room was wide open. It turns out that Rian and Arsya are his sons.
The deg!
"Death to me, nyokapnya Arsya will certainly talk the same bokapnya,"
They murmured in each other's hearts. Don't know if Ayla has sent a message to Rian to get fresh.
"Pa," said Ayla again smiling sweetly towards her handsome husband.
"Why baby? He said there was a problem, what problem?" rian asked sitting next to Kenzo who happened to be empty. Because he wanted to sit next to his wife. Already first by his son who likes to look for trouble.
"Here, Mama heard Kenzo will quit the team," said Ayla made them sport the heart together.
"Why, Son? Don't you want Papa to take a break for a year?" rian asked in a calm voice. He does not know that Kenzo, again there is a problem with his best friend. Ayla just sent a message, she was told to go into the treatment room where her daughter-in-law was treated.
"Not Pa, but there's something else that makes Kenzo want to stop. More and more jobs in the company are now. Kenzo was afraid of not being able to divide his time," Kenzo replied trying to find another reason, to keep his best friend safe.
"Ken, if the problem is the company, Elo don't stop. Just tell Om Aldi, all the problems will be sorted out," said Arsya did not agree also his sister-in-law stopped completely.
"Yes, but---"
"It's all because of my mistake, Om. After finding out if we ever wanted to cheat without his knowledge. That's why Kenzo wants to resign from the team" interrupted Andra bravely admitting his mistake.
"Is that right, son?" Rian looked at his daughter-in-law.
"Eum. That's, that's Pa, Ken--"
"Yes Pa, because of the problem his friends once wanted to cheat with his sister," sela Ayla impatiently waiting for her daughter-in-law to answer.
"Play cheating on you brother, Ma?" arsya.
"Yes, so your sister wants to resign from her team because she feels disappointed with her friends. Try Brother Papa ask them all," said Ayla really make them like ice cubes doused by hot water.
"Yes Ar, Auntie's right, all this because I didn't hire them. I'm wrong, not them" Andra replied no matter what. Dare to do, then he must dare to be responsible.
"Don't you guys not make it?" rian asked Andra.
"Kok Papa knows? Don't tell me Papa's nagging thwarted her?" Ayla looked at her husband full of probing. While the one who was stared at just smiled while pulling Kenzo into his arms.
"Of course, who else if not them," the middle-aged man smiled at the wife who shook his head, because Rian had nothing to divorce her.
"Here you go, don't quit the Basketball Team. Your struggle to get to this point is very long" Rian said, stroking Kenzo's back as if it were his own son.
"Papa couldn't possibly have banned you for a year. After you recover, we will go abroad to see the doctor who is Papa's best friend. He said he could make the scar heal faster. Earlier Om Aldi had contacted him," said Rian who knew the fear of his son-in-law.
"A-does Papa not matter de---"
"Of course not, everything has happened. Besides big brother is fine too, which is important for the future you all have to think first, before doing anything," interrupted the middle-aged man again while taking off his embrace. However, before it was completely detached, Kenzo had already hugged his father-in-law quite tightly.
"Father thank you, Kenzo promised to be a better daughter-in-law" said Kenzo, who made him ridiculed by his brother-in-law.
"It's okay, it's natural that he's scared. Back when Papa was young also afraid of being fired by Ridwan's grandfather. Fortunately Papa's in-laws were kind," Rian replied laughing as well. In his old age Rian only wanted his son and daughter-in-law to feel happiness. Not to enlarge trivial problems, but the impact is quite large.
"So how did you decide?" after releasing a hug with the son-in-law, Rian again talked about the matter of the match that was not yet finished.
"We're going to play, if Kenzo doesn't come out Om, but if he resigns then our team will also disband everything. Let's be fair, because all this is our fault" replied Hengki took a decision that he thought was right.
"Yes right Om, we better disband the Milky Way University Team. Instead of Kenzo just coming out," said Yogi, Eel and Andra simultaneously.
"You're all right, why disband. I stopped for a reason" exclaimed Kenzo staring intently at his best friend.
"Kenzo won't stop, it's just that he's been told to rest. Now you know for yourself how it is,"
"meaning Om? Kenzo won't be stepping down from our team, will he?" ask Andra.
"No, he'll still be your team. If he refuses, then his threat--"
"Fired to be a son-in-law, right, Pa?" handsome Arsya interrupted again.
"What! It's good, "Kenzo looked at his brother-in-law who was laughing, because he was so happy to see Kenzo's scared face.
"Sister," Ayla pulled her son's ear. Not only today Arsya teased her brother-in-law. But even at home, he was like that.
"Sister, where's the theme--"
Kleeek!
Rian was just about to ask. But his sons' friends have come.
"Good afternoon everyone, good afternoon Om, good afternoon also beautiful Aunt," once in Denis and Dito's voice has made a scene in the room.
"Here too, come sit down, please" Ayla said warmly to the young men, who had been used to coming to her house.
"Where's princess? How come there's no?" denis asked, looking around them, there was no Salsa.
"There's her husband, ask him himself," Dito nudged Denis' arm because Kenzo stared intently at the two of them.
"Ha. haaaa. It's going to be our rivals" Denis' laughter was followed by Arsya's.
"Already, already! You shut up first, Papa is serious again," interrupted Rian because their time is getting tight. Just counting the hours.
"Yes Pa, this silent sister," answered Arsya silently as she hugged the mother's arm. He was like that, glorified to his mother. If Salsa goes to their papa more often.
"Denis, why just three of you, where's Farel?" Rian who did not see any Farel just asked.
"He, did not follow Om, because the state of Farel because of the match at that time, also not stable. His mom hasn't been allowed to play, she's afraid of a relapse" Denis replied because it was a long time ago. I have to go to Farel's house first.
"Oh, yasudah, it's okay. If only you guys. Do you know why you should join?" the middle-aged man asked again.
"Yes, we already know Om, Om Aldi and the organizing team have explained to us,"
"Now how will you, you will join two Teams into one," explained Rian staring at them waiting for an answer.
"Yes, we agree. This match between the capital. Whoever wins, City B will be proud. Especially if we are united, of course there is no problem whatsoever" said Andra and asserted by all of them.
"That's what Om's waiting for your answer. Play sportsmanship, losing a win in that game is common. So don't feel rivaled if you lose" she advises as a parent.
"Hub! As the Team Leader, Arsya will remain, we will follow him" Hengki cleared his throat first.
"What! Why should I? Elo ajalah, I became a ball escort to Zone-marking aja," said Arsya.
"Well, I can't. Elo has to be the Captain as always. Kenzo's side is adek, Elo, so it's an obligation for a brother to be responsible for replacing him," Eel said, making others again agree.
"Well that I agree, as a brother must be willing to replace his sister," Kenzo who had been silent since then joined chimed in.
"Since the problem is over, let's drink this same snack. You have to get ready to prepare yourself, too," said Ayla glanced at the clock on her wrist.
"Yes, Mama's right," answered Arsya standing at the table in the room to retrieve her car keys.
"Where are you going?" rian asked to see that his son was getting ready.
"Back, Pa. Arsya wants to go to Oma's house first, the shoes are there,"
"Aren't you going to go with them?" ayla asked, seeing the others sitting down.
"No, Brother first, they will follow. I don't know about the same opa. If you have been there definitely can not go home if you have not eaten," Arsya smiled before giving a kiss to the mother and get a warm hug from her father.
"All of you sit down, I go first. You want to go to the main house first," said Arsya to his best friend and also friends Kenzo.
"Ken, don't move much, take care of your health. If it's too long in the hospital there will be no one to play Nando's father" Arsya said as he passed out of there.
"Son, let's rest in bed, this will make the doctor angry" Ayla said, standing up to fix the bed where her daughter-in-law was treated.
The tired Kenzo sat half-leaning and finally moved to follow his mother-in-law's words.
"I don't think, it turns out Mr. Rian Erlangga is this warm. He's the same his wife is equally good all. There was no difference he treated his son and daughter-in-law. Dear God, please meet me, as good as them, in-laws,"
Do'a Yogi in her heart, who had been paying attention since, how Rian's family treated Kenzo. All of Kenzo's best friends are completely amazed at Rian forgiving their mistakes.
...SERIATE...
