The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
116. Necklace From David

We buy clothes and knick-knacks that are typical in this city to take home and give to the family. I will also buy my parents, mother and father. Not to forget also for my loyal friend waiting there.

"Well, did we do enough shopping today? "

"Already Key, let the city go to buy food" Sahut Ira who almost bought this store. I just stumbled and shook my head.

"Yes let's eat" The three of us came out of the shopping. Now find a place to eat.

On the way to the place to eat. My eyes faintly looked at someone who was standing up and looking at the three of us. I felt strange and traumatized, afraid that someone would kidnap me again.

I told Ira to speed up our steps so that the man would no longer see. So fast until Ani left. I forgot that I pushed Ani, because that guy Ani left me.

"Ohhhh, you guys are why you forgot me" complained Ani who shouted behind us made me stop the steps.

"Astaghfirullah, I thought we forgot something" I and Ira rushed back and took Ani and walked quickly to the place to eat.

"Why are you Key? " Task Ani and Ira who were astonished by my behavior for walking quickly to this place to eat.

"Look on the other end" I ordered them without having to point to that person.

"Yes, the siomay guy, right? " Ira answered innocently.

"Oh, that's not it. The other one" Ketusku

"Ohhh, the baker" This time Ani replied. My two friends are koplak.

"Gosh, no. Across the street in all-black clothes and standing staring at us" I tried to explain to them. But no one knows either.

"Key's crazy guy? " I turned my face away. It's true Ira said that it was a madman.

I was confused that the man was no longer there. I don't know why I feel threatened but I'm still curious about him. We ordered some food and enjoyed it at this place. Not long after that I wanted to go to the bathroom.

"You guys don't go anywhere, I want to go to the toilet for a while" Ira and Ani just nodded to agree to my request.

I walk alone while being alert around me. Afraid that something might follow in order to kidnap me back. It turned out that the kidnapping had an impact on my mental state, when I got home I had to go to the doctor for a check-up.

*plek*the touch of the hand that holds my back that makes me surprised instead of playing.

"Aaaaaa..... " His hand swiftly shut my mouth and carried away.

"Ssttt, quiet. It's me" I was surprised when the man opened the mask on his face.

"David, you're so insolent" I was upset at him who almost made this heart stop beating.

"Well it's me, I came here to see you on purpose" he said.

*plak*I hit him hard because it had shocked me and frightened me about the trauma.

"why did you appear suddenly vid, I was shocked to know.." I said annoyed because I thought he was one of the kidnappers who was lurking.

"Sorry,sorry. So I'm here to see you and talk to you about something Key"

"What?" Asking back.

"We better sit there" David asked me to find a more comfortable place to talk.

I obeyed him and did not forget to contact my two friends to wait for him for a while because I had some business. After all they were waiting at a comfortable place to eat and many people so I thought I was a little calm leaving them.

"Key, I'm saying goodbye" she held my hand and looked at him deeply. I was afraid of David's gaze, afraid that he would go abroad again and then return to Indonesia and forget about me again.

"Where?" I asked out loud.

"To a place where I have to fight back" he said scares me. He fought where else, whether to go back out of the country and leave me.

"Are you abroad again? " David did not answer but his lips smiled as if reading my current thoughts.

My face began to worry about what David was saying. My mind was frozen and full of fear about him. It seemed like my heart really loved David. Sometimes there is something strange in our relationship.

Sometimes we were both silent without a single word being said. Sometimes I meet as an old friend. And sometimes also save the longing but difficult to express to each other.

"You must be afraid to lose me again" he believed very highly, when it was true that I was afraid of losing David. But it's hard to uncover the taste.

"No, who said" I tried to cover it up so that it wouldn't get caught if my chest shook in fear.

"Had said, your eyes don't lie" I closed my eyes and turned my eyes in all directions.

"Have said it, if not abroad then where are you going" I snapped with annoyance because David kept teasing me with his smile without answer.

Actually my heart is happy but embarrassed if he keeps flirting with false seduction. You tireless crocodile. Moreover, the current situation frightened me if he returned to a long distance.

"I want a national team selection"

"What" my eyes glared at David as if in disbelief. But I am so happy to hear this good news.

"really?" A smile returned to my lips as I stared at David's nod of the head confirming all that and his eyes looked serious no lie.

"Happy David" I was so happy I forgot and hugged David to congratulate him. David was silent as he felt my embrace. He didn't even make a sound.

"Eh sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to hug you" I immediately let go of that hug when my consciousness had returned.

I smiled ashamedly as I hugged her. It felt really awkward and wanted to disappear from the face of David right now. I feel so brutal for hugging her without consent.

"No, it's okay. I knew you would love to hear this news. Because I know that you like me, right" he said to me again filled with shame, it seems David already knows that I like him. But he chose silence.

"Good, if you know" my ketus by showing a flat face back like there was nothing, but actually my face was reddened.

"I'm going to have a selection of a few days there to get into the U-19 national team"

"Hmm" I said, nodding my head.

"That's it, you didn't congratulate me or say goodbye?" He was surprised by my short answer. I hid a smile from him.

"Farewell, like going far away" I murmured.

It seemed like he had mispronounced because he instantly fell silent. I got out of my seat and wanted to say a lot of things.

"Okay, David's spirit. Hopefully you pass the selection in the U-19 national team. And hopefully you become a national team player and compete abroad" I said a very long speech accompanied by movement more, actually I do not want but not anything this once.

"Let's hope I hear the commentators mention your name as a striker in the U-19 national team. If it's there, be a good retainer and don't always think about love" I said.

David immediately stood up and listened to all the farewells from me. He never turned his face when I spoke. David was always staring at my every moving lips.

"Well one more, do not forget your worship so that in every game can be facilitated" This time David's smile widened while looking at me.

"Thank you Key" this time David hugged me. I froze in his embrace.

Is this really David, or is it just a dream. It's not usual for David to hug me like this. Really this taste is jumbled. The heart beats fast and the gaze becomes frozen.

"I promise I will do the best game during the selection later in order to become a retainer of the national team. And I promise I'll come back for you" she told me that but she still hasn't let go.

"Already, so. I'm sultry" I said embarrassed because my heart was pounding so hard. I let go of David's tight hug.

"Your heart...." I gulped down the saliva violently, it seemed like he wanted to say something that embarrassed me about this heart for racing.

"Your heart is still active" I breathed a sigh of relief it turns out he just wanted to joke with me.

"Yes active, if not active maybe I die" I sniffed loudly.

"Hahahaha, it's so funny you're Key" he laughed loudly as he slapped my cheek.

Should be the cheeks of the chick on the caress gently. But he slapped me on the cheek, thankfully slowly. If it's not possible I'll beat it.

"I go first, you take good care of yourself here. And here's something from me. You have to open it after I pass from before you Key" David gave me a small box and gave it to me.

"What'sthis? "

"Open later" she said as she ruffled my hair.

"Ihhh, you're this" I was annoyed and he just smiled.

I hurried away with the farewell to walk in the direction I was going. Before she disappeared from before me, I opened it and it turned out to be very beautiful.

A necklace bearing the words "KD" neatly arranged between diamonds. There is also a letter inside. I opened it and it was about the expression of David's heart.

"I love you Key, wear this necklace and I promise I'll come back for you" I smiled at the letter, then I looked at David and he hinted a sign of love through his hand.

"Me too" I shouted to divert all eyes of the people there. Maybe they think I'm a madman who yells obscurely in a public place. I immediately closed my mouth and left.

So did David who had disappeared because of the car he was riding earlier. I immediately put on the necklace that David gave me. A beautiful necklace and I will remember David's promise to return.

"You go anywhere Key, a long time ago" said Ira who was waiting for me with Ani here.

"So meeting my friend, he wanted a national team selection"

"What, crazy. He entered the national team selection. Not playing Keyyyy" Ira hysterical when he heard the word national team selection.

*Prok, prok*Small applause from Ira.

"real key? " Task Ani to ascertain the truth. I nodded with the questions of both of them.

"Means that if you qualify will be a national team player dong"

"Yes, but it still takes a long process" I explained a little to them.

"Let's go back" We hurried back to the inn. On the way I laughed with the three of them while talking about the national team.

They asked me if I wanted to be a national team player?. I answered him loudly and surely that I wanted to be the young Garuda retainer. Flapping his wings visited several countries.

I will fight for anything to get into the young Garuda squad. Being a great footballer to bring my family name to be known by all of Indonesia and the world.

"If you don't want to be a national team player? " I asked them both.

"No" Their answer is absolutely the same not wanting to be a national team player. Just this time I heard a footballer who doesn't want to be a national team player.

He said it was very difficult to get into the squad there. Moreover, being a Garuda retainer is not easy. It takes skil and money to get in there because domestic competitors are many.

"Money? " Many

"Yes money, there must be someone who will withdraw money to go through the rat line" I was surprised by the explanation Ani gave. And that was also confirmed by Ira. Did I miss the news about this.

As I know the selection of the national team is purely featuring the best skill. I'm gonna ask David if anyone's really done anything like that. If it is true then the tarnished is already the name of Indonesian football.

"Key" Ani pulled my hand out loud.I woke up from the banquet about what they were saying.

"Eh yes, sorry"

"Have not thought about it. We're both kidding"

"Hahahhahah" They were both happy because it made me think that the withdrawal of the money was correct.

"Bad"

*plak* I hit him while laughing. I forgot if they're both places that always make me confused with lies to make jokes. I think it's true, it turns out they just played a role.

Fortunately I didn't ask David this silly question. If I call David by saying about the money in the selection of the national team, I can finish lecturing him. Moreover, my biggest ambition is to become a young Garuda.

"Just this time I saw you being serious, let alone believing our words" Ani was very satisfied with my face that seemed to think hard when they said that.

"I think it won right, I almost got this country wrong"

"Hahahahah "Laugh they melt my frozen mood as well as my clumping thoughts about the ball. Arriving at the inn, it turned out that only the three of us had just returned.
