"Today is the last day of our training. Tomorrow we enter the preliminary round. Our opponent is heavy. We have to be really focused on the game." Jordi motivates her teammates.

"Let's go, spirit, spirit!" Rendy cried while putting her hand in front.

Then one by one their hands were placed on the level of Rendy's hands.

"HIGH!" Shouted everyone while throwing their hands down.

"Can I still be training with you?" The words of someone suddenly sounded behind them.

They turned to the source of the voice and were surprised to find out who the owner of the voice was.

Eric!

"Of course, Eric. None of us can replace you as an ace on our team." Jordi.

Eric smiling.

"Thank you."

Then Jordi and Rendy embrace Eric. After that, they trained on the field.

Audrey was delighted when she saw their familiarity. After that he sat on the sidelines while watching them practice.

The day of the game arrived. Eric and his friends must win in their first game in order to qualify for the next round.

Their opponents were quite tough, but they were finally able to win the game by a tight score.

Match after game they continue to pass by not easily. Until they finally qualify for the final.

Their opponents in the final this time are still the same as they knew before. Eric and his friends hope they can defend the title for two years in a row they hold.

The pum final arrives.

In the early minutes, there were chasing each other points. By mid-match, their points were getting tighter. Suddenly Eric was pushed by the opponent when he was about to put the ball into the ring.

Eric was hard.

Audrey, who was in the audience, shouted hysterically at the sight of Eric falling. But Eric still tried to wake up even though his whole body was in pain.

"Eric, are you okay?" Jordi asked while helping Eric stand up.

"I'm doing fine. Time to stay a little longer, we can't let our guard down."

Jordi nods.

After that Eric threw the ball into the ring because of the violation earlier.

Eric put the ball in. Their point was now a little superior to the opponent. The stadium is getting more noisy.

The game was getting more intense as it approached the last minute. Eric's movements seemed to slow down after the fall. The coach offered Eric a rest and was replaced by another player, but Eric refused. Eric wants to play until the end of the game. Finally the coach allowed it.

Audrey's getting anxious. He knew that Eric was holding back his pain.

Finally the opponent can catch up, even now their point is a bit adrift. Jordi and the others don't want their team to rely on Eric. They fought desperately. Until the last minute. Until finally they can again narrow the point distance.

The last minute, their point is still 2 points below the opposing team. There was a very fierce ball fight. Throw the ball into each other's rings.

Only twenty seconds left. It was very difficult for Eric to catch up with two points. All the spectators were tense.

The ball is in Eric's hands. Eric ran faster towards the opponent ring, dribbling very agilely through one by one his opponent who was large.

"AYOOOOO! YOU HAVE TO DO ITNGGGG! HHHHHH!"

All eyes were on Audrey. They were amazed when they saw Audrey's face. Then they also shouted encouragingly.

Faintly Eric could hear Audrey's screams among the crowd.

Just a few more seconds. Eric is out of the final box. It was far from the ring. It was very difficult for Eric to get the ball into the ring. But there is no other choice, time is thin. Eric has to throw the ball right now.

"AYOO ERYICCC.....! YOU CAN DEFINITELY...!"

Eric looked at Audrey. The source of his strength was currently shouting in his support.

Eric threw the ball!

Silent moment!

One last second!

Bruusshhhh!

The ball got into the ring!

Triple points!

Priiett!

The sound of a long whistle was heard indicating the ball entered along with the end of the game.

Eric's campus score is one point above the opponent's score.

They win!

The boisterous sound of the audience was again heard filling the field stadium.

Eric and his friends hugged. They are very happy because they can finally defend the title.

Audrey looked at Eric from her chair with teary eyes. Audrey can feel the victory of her lover. Eric looked at Audrey with a smile. Audrey returned her smile.

***

Audrey felt her world had completely changed. Audrey no longer lives in darkness. Now Audrey has many friends and also a lover who loves her very much. Audrey never wears a mask again.

The pum graduation exam is finally over.

"Aaaahh... Finally the tense days ended as well. We really need a vacation to refresh our brains." Eric.

Audrey smiling.

"How about we take a vacation somewhere?"

"You're right. My brain and body need refreshment. Where are we going...?"

"mmm... Let's think about it."

Suddenly a white car stops right next to Eric and Audrey.

They stopped and tried to stare into the car. The car door finally opened. Featuring a beautiful figure in his thirties.

Audrey was shocked when she saw him.
