The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
105. Bus Tyre Leaking

My heart is uncomfortable not opening the bag and checking the contents inside. I'm sure there must be something they put in. Seen from the movements of my two sisters.

"Behold, there seems to be something new" I tried to reassemble the contents of my bag because it was like something was strange.

And sure enough after I opened there were new football boots. I looked directly at Nike and Mbak Yeni alternately. I'm sure they did this to me.

"What's this?"I asked them both. Then they fell silent and pretended to be busy with their respective activities.

"Definitely you guys who bought it?"

"Already, if there is yes use it" said mbak Nike while lying reading a book.

"hiksss" I cried a little while holding her shoes and hugging her.

I have one shoe, but I haven't bought it yet. While the salary I saved to pay all the money my mother gave me for my provisions. I promised to reverse all the money you sent me

"Why are you crying?" Yeni and Nike came down to me.

I hugged them both and thanked them very much. These shoes are very much needed as a backup if there is something that is not in the desire.

"Already, already, you have to promise the two of us. That you have to play very well" Nike told me seriously. I nodded in understanding and hugged the two of them back.

My hands are moved and proud to have good people who always surround me either when happy or when injured. I promise to make you all happy.

"Ihh, you are so crybaby like a baby" Yeni told me. Then he grabbed my head and turned around to go into his room.

I knew that she was also moved, but she turned around to cover up her sadness so as not to look like me and became a mockery. It was clear that her eyes were swollen when I wanted to sleep on her bed.

This time we slept in one bed. Although crowded but at least this to cover the longing that will arrive in the next 2 weeks. Indeed our behavior is hilarious, but in the blur is always interspersed with hidden love.

"Buk container, Nike mbak, Yeni mbak. Key left first" I left with my father on a motorcycle to the club. Early in the morning the streets were filled with cold dew.

I inhaled it with pleasure that made my heart peaceful. This morning I was excited to leave town for the first time. I will play well to get the win.

"Sir, do not forget to pray for Key to be a champion, sir" said I who disturb the concentration of the father of driving.

"Yes, just calm down. I will pray for you to be a great player" my smile is beautiful listening to my father's words.

Not long after that we arrived at the club. There is already one bus that will take our group out of town. There are many sights on the left right that make happy. All players are delivered by both complete parents.

"If you also take me with my father here, the atmosphere will be comfortable" I murmured in my heart.

They hugged his son who was about to go fight in the match. Hugs of affection from their father and mother. Delivered by luxury car and only I was delivered by motorbike. It was only the father who delivered because the bike father could not binceng 3 so only the two of us left.

"Sir, key left first"

"She be careful there son" he hugged me tightly and stroked my hair while tucking in advice and messages at me.

"Focus on playing, stay humble when you win, and don't always settle for everything"

"Good Sir"

If only mother also took me with my father, surely I feel I have a complete family. Because the family I have right now is the two of them and also mbak Yeni and mbak Nike.

We are lined up to receive direction from the coach as well as the manager. When I wrote the lyrics, my dad was still waiting for me. Just like my other friends' parents. They are still waiting for us to leave.

"Okay, I'll suffice this command. And now please get on the bus to leave" I waved my hand at my father, as did all the players saying goodbye to their parents.

"Sir, key departed" I waved my hand with a happy smile. I shouted the loudest among the other friends. Somehow it feels very strange, maybe because the mother does not come so it feels incomplete.

Waving hands at the father who still saw the bus leaving. From behind the window I smiled, feeling the great love of a father. I keep waving as a goodbye and I'll go home with good news.

All the players cried as much as they left their families. Only I smiled as I was sure that this temporary farewell would be a memory as well as a first step towards victory.

"There is no beautiful farewell because all will leave wounds. But the farewell will end if you go home with a sense of pride" I said in my heart while smiling and holding back a sense of crying when remembering the father.

\*Nature, Yuri. I've left for out of town. Pray for me to come home with the champion\*I sent a message to both of them as a sign of goodbye this morning.

\*Be careful my dear friend, I will always pray for you\* Yuri's reply is always alay, but that's one of my affection marks.

\*Be careful yes key, I pray you win by bringing the title to go home\* tweeted Yuri and Ari always make me smile I make them both are the spirit in every step of me. My mother's family is my spirit in life.

The coach informed that the trip will be taken about 4 hours more. So we were told to rest so as not to get to the scene of the match later.

On the bus we had food and drinks available. It can be enjoyed along the streets. A great trip, all singing and having fun. Instead of being used rest instead sang with so much laughter.

"Key cool as well yes we play outside the city" said Ani who sat beside me.

"Alhamdulillah, so this is our beginning to learn both winning and losing" I said with a smile and singing back with other colleagues.

"Asik bertar again out of town. I'll open my eyes all the way to Key. Huh" he said as he pinched my cheek in a frenzy and I just looked at him in wonder while laughing.

\*krokk, krokk\* a very loud voice penetrated my ears from the side.

"Hmm, said he wanted to open his eyes along the way. They were snoring loudly" I said as I looked at Ani who had fallen asleep.

Just said you didn't want to sleep and wanted to see a beautiful view. It turns out he fell asleep earlier than I did.

Where the snoring is very hard, want it to feel like I'm stuck with my hand. But pity as well, whether he was sapping or crawling last night. His eyes were swollen like a lack of sleep.

"I'd better sleep too" muttered me while getting a good money position to sleep following Ani who had fallen asleep from earlier. Maybe his dream has reached the quarter of the country, his sleep feels at home.

*crittt*the bus stopped suddenly and woke me up from a long sleep on this trip. I try to open my eyes slowly, maybe this is what I thought.

"Why? "

"Boss leak" The conversation between the coach and the driver turned out that our car had a leak.

The coach said he was still lucky to have a leak when the bus had gone off the highway. Bus passengers pulled over to rest.

"Kids, let's wake up. We can have a problem and must be fixed first" Instructions coach make everything awake and rush to learn. When I looked at Ani, she was still asleep.

"Astaghfirullah, still scolding this one man" I said as I patted his head.

My hand immediately woke Ani who was sleeping too deep, so that all the passengers had gone out and only me and Ani were still inside.

"Hey let's wake up Ani, astaghfirullah" I was surprised by Ani, when my voice was loud but she wasn't awake yet.

*plaque, plaque*tiny slap I repeatedly gave him on his cheek. And in the end he woke up too.

"Well, until Key? " Task Ani while rubbing her eyes to wake up. His gaze was so innocent like he didn't know anything.

"It's, it's been abroad" I said with annoyance. And he just laughed at me like nothing happened.

Finally, Ani and I got off the bus. All the players and coaches and managers stopped by a stall to shelter and eat. The driver was busy changing the tires.

"Where were you last night? " Tanyaku is sitting next to Ani the warung.

"I was shopping last night and came out just as tight to prepare today's supplies" he said with eyes still not strong to open.

"Crazy, sleep like a kebo" I was honest with Ani who made her laugh out loud, as well as with me. We continued to talk alone and my eyes were busy seeing the driver who was only helped by his grandmother changing tires.

I think only one tire leaked and it turns out that there were 3 tires that had leaks. Rich sir driver has called the nearest workshop to help repair but from earlier has not come as well.

"Key, where are you going? " Task Ani as I get out of my seat. My heart can not bear when the driver is in trouble, we just sit down to eat and drink to enjoy everything. While they are hot.

"I want to help the driver first" Sahut ku while walking closer to the driver who I muk repair the car.

"I'm coming" It turns out that Ani also noticed the same thing as me. That is, sir, the driver and the driver who is having trouble repairing the tires.

I think when done together it will be lighter than having to sit and wait and it will be longer. And it would be a waste of time and energy on the roadside.

"Sir, can I help?" I asked while holding the tire that was opened.

"No need to deck, your hands will get dirty"

"It's okay sir, we both play dirty often" said Ani who was beside me, I nodded in agreement with his words.

We both sat down to help hold the next bus tyre that would be opened. It turned out to be very heavy, unlike anything I imagined. I think lightly it turns out 3 people are not enough to hold it.

"Wahh, it's good you key. Reward but alone. We also want" it turns out all my friends come down and help. They help hold onto the tyres as well as coaches and managers who pick up the spare tyres.

I smiled at this beautiful sight. They all work together to get the best. In this atmosphere have a afternoon joke. Lifting tires and helping him to unload and install. Keep laughing with the pride team.

"Hey your face"

"Why? "

"Hahahahhaha" Everyone laughed when they saw my face black with oil.

Maybe my tabgan accidentally held it and rubbed the oil on my face. I immediately cleaned up with a laugh with friends. Not that it's getting cleaner, but my face is getting blacker.

"Good key, make a disguise of the state servant" said one of the friends at the end.

"Yes key, it fits"

"Hahahhah" Not hard to hit by a disaster, but instead enjoy it with a laugh. Maybe this is how God gave us a leaky tire ordeal so we could become familiar with each other.

Not long after the mechanics of the workshop had come and helped our work that stayed a little. at once they brought the tires that had been ordered. Because the spare tire only had 2, so we ordered it because there was less than one.

The work is done, no matter how time consuming it is due to the leaky tire problem that is important we enjoy with pleasure. Because tiredness has paid off with the spirit of each other.

"Finally it's done too" said the coach then told us all to take a short break while drinking ice. No longer sitting in a chair but leaning under and not caring about our dirty clothes.

"I thought only my face was dirty, it turns out you guys were worse. Hahahhahaa" My words made all of them panic.

Each of them took out a glass or cell phone to see the state of his face that was disheveled like a madman.

"Hahahahh" Everyone laughed loudly. Even the face of the coach, assistant coach and also teaching laughed out loud because it was only black.

This laugh is surrounded by the noise of passing vehicles. In the hot sun that is so stinging on this day but feels warm because there are those who are ready to be entertainers themselves.
