The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
119. Martial Confession

Me and Ira hugged Ani tightly, Suddenly all the players also approached and re-hugged Ani. A group of friends who are happy and embrace simultaneously. Don't forget to thank Coach Jaka.

"Coach, it's all thanks to Coach Jaka and the coaching staff who trained us patiently" I said as we were in the dressing room.

"Yes Coach, without you we might lose"

"True Coach, thank you for everything" we said to each other.

"No, it's all thanks to you. You alone play from the heart, you build a family. The rest of me are just the upholstery. All victory comes from your soul and heart" A father's aim on the pitch will never stop.

Coach Jaka is a father to us, there's nothing we wouldn't have been able to get through if it wasn't for him and the hard work of the team maybe we'd all lose and get worse and worse.

We hugged again with cheers of happiness, and we were sure that when there was a cloud along with lightning there would definitely be a rainbow.

"Ani, I'm sorry I couldn't score for you" I said as everyone prepared to change clothes to leave.

"It's okay Key, the important thing is that this victory belongs to all of us" Ani embraced me and this friendship was really very tight.

We returned to the hotel in a smiling mood. There was endless fun on the bus. We sang the song on the bus. Smiles on the lips of each player.

"It's even though you're not playing, but you have to encourage me in the final" I said, holding his hand.

"Whoever boss, I will always support you Key. Wherever it is important we bring home the trophy of victory" Ani told me.

I hugged him tightly, I loved him as much as my own brother. Now Ani is one of the families close to me on this team. So do others, but Ani's a place that always understands my circumstances.

We got off the bus cheering. Along the way to our room, we sang happily. He said only this time managed to enter the final after this team lost and failed a few years ago.

"Key wait" Bela called out as I was slowly picking Ani up to walk.

"Yes Bel, what's wrong?" I turned around to look at Bela who was at the back.

"I want to talk to you"

"About what?" I wonder what he wants to talk about.

"About my mistake yesterday Key" I understood what Bela wanted to talk to me about. I told him to come with me and go into the room.

There was Ira who was relaxing and getting ready to clean up. Ira was surprised to see us bringing Bela into the room. Because unlike usual Bela played with the three of us.

"Sit down, and speak calmly" I told him. I shut the door so no one would hear about this conversation.

"They?" Said Bela who asked as if giving conditions for Ira and Ani to come out.

"Relax, they'll shut up" I said. I'm sure they'll understand what I want to do.

"That's it, just tell me. We won't divulge" said Ani, who can't wait to hear Bela's story.

Ira was still confused by all this. He who relaxes and wants to take a bath suddenly the three of us enter and want to do a secret discussion.

Her soul thrashed and she came down and sat with us. He likes to gossip but he is also careful in speaking and clever in hiding secrets.

"True you said Key, I was wrong to have followed the plot of those who wanted to destroy the team" his face bowed lamenting his past mistakes.

"What's? You want to destroy this team?" Reply Ani who is fed up with knowing the story of Bela.

"Sttt, don't be noisy" I immediately held Ani's lips to avoid speaking loudly.

"Your hands salted Key" he said

"I'm sorry, sorry, because I haven't had a shower. Hehehe" I said making Ira laugh while Ani's face shriveled in annoyance.

Then Bela continued the story that all he did to get more money. So did his father who knew of this fraud but chose to stay silent and follow the flow of the committee that organized this tournament.

"Oh, it's over. And now you have to remember not to let the dirty money buy the ability of the ball that you have" I said while holding his shoulder with a friendly look.

Evidently this time coach Jaka rarely let down Bela in the match after it was known.it turns out that the beginning we came, coach Jaka was also involved.

I ventured to meet coach Jaka and told him about our struggle to get to this point and fighting out of the city was not easy. I speak as a son and father not as a coach and a player.

In the end coach Jaka came out and returned the illicit money they gave. Until now coach Jaka will be a father to all of us without any dirty money in his pocket.

"So you deliberately played ugly, you Bel" Ira and Ani's anger overflowed.

They wanted to slap Bela because the team was already fighting hard back then as well. While Bela wants to destroy everything with her ugly skil lie.

"Hey already, the important thing is that our team wins. Yesterday's problems let us forget, and we have to give our best in the next game" I prevented their hand and blocked it. Afraid of their hands reaching Bela's head.

Bela fell silent then she bowed lethargic. He feels very guilty for cheating which causes his friends struggle very high to win will bear fruit in vain.

"But there's one thing you don't know" Bela said, again freezing the violent atmosphere.

"What, quickly say. Otherwise I hit you in the face" Ani returned emotion to him. He was eager to hear what else Bela was hiding.

Absolutely beyond belief, I should be the one with the emotions as to why the two of them were fiercer than my emotions. I fell silent and looked at the astonishment of Ani and Ira's behavior. I tried to keep Bela away from these two tigers.

"It's quiet, your leg" I pointed at her aching leg.

"Ohhhh, yes Key is sick" he finally remembered also if his leg was sprained.

"There is not much movement, let Bela tell me everything" I said a little laugh to see him.

"What do you know now Bel?" I went back to remind Bela who wanted to talk about something we didn't know.

"You have to be careful "he said making us curious. Ani and Ira who were angry are getting closer.

His statement of caution made our minds full of question marks. Be careful what we don't know yet.

"What's careful?, quickly explain" Ani was impatient to hear an explanation from Bela.

His face started to grow furious as Bela spoke rambling and was not straight to the point. Bela is also stalling for time to tell the truth.

"Hurry up Bel, I haven't had a bath yet" I'm also getting upset about not cleaning myself up after the game.

"So your victory today was deliberate" I was surprised to hear what he said.

Bela said that this victory was purely the setting of the committee. And the opposing players also deliberately to succumb so that the victory is on our side.

"What are you talking about, we've fought hard for this victory" I said slightly disapprovingly at the beginning of his speech.

"I'll explain" he said.

I felt strange about Bela's words, because I knew we were really fighting hard to beat the opposing team. Not a single one of them played to be a coward by displaying a bad game.

"What do they do next in the final? " I'm curious about the words Bela gave me.

Bela said that later we will be cheated again. Then be careful facing the upcoming finals. They will do the plan by adding the medicine in your drink.

"I don't know, the point is that they will make you humiliated later in the final" he explained.

Bela also added that their plans were all ripe for us to fall before the game and had to be right careful. It does not rule out the possibility of food will also be given medication.

"Is that really so?" Ani tried to get close and make sure that Bela said correctly.

"Yes, right" he said

"If you're lying?"

"Already, already. He must be telling the truth" I tried to calm Ani that Bela was currently speaking the truth.

Whatever Bela says, I believe it. It looks like he's telling the truth and I have to watch out for him. Nothing is impossible, there will be a lot of cheating.

Moreover, what we face in the upcoming match is the sole representative of this city team. I will always remember the words coach Alam and also grandfather at that time.

"It's good that I imitate your words, because I'm sure that victory will be desired by both teams" I explained to them.

Coach Alam once said that you have to be careful with sneaky games in tournaments. And Grandpa said to be careful of friends and people around. I know there are a lot of messages that they are not talking about directly.

"Thank you, Bel, for telling us all this" I told her.

"Yes Key together, I say yes first" Bela said goodbye to leave this room. Me, Ani and Ira had a small meeting.

Ani stated that the food in question is dinner or lunch. While Ira said it could be a snack before the game.

"Your words are right, let me handle this so as not to mess up our plans in the final"

"True Key, I approve of you"

"Yes, me too" Sahut Ani and Ira simultaneously.

The two of them had a point as well, but I had to thoroughly investigate gradually and thoroughly. To know what happens next.

"That's it, let's finish it today. Because I want to take a shower and my body is all sticky" said I who moved from the seat.

"Not me, I used to take a shower" Ira stood up and scrambled for the bathroom with me.

But he lost the start because I got ahead of the bathroom by relying on my running speed. I managed to keep Ira waiting.

*brak, brak brak*

"Ahhh Key" got upset while pounding the door hard.

"Eat him don't keep gossiping" my ejek while yelling in the bathroom. Ani laughed loudly at our behavior.

Morning

"Woyyyy woke up, it was time for morning gymnastics" Teriakku who saw Ani and Ira still molested after performing dawn prayers. They went back to sleep, he said, very tired today.

"Jeez Key, still early in the morning screaming" Ani's annoyed who was still comfortable with her pillow. Ira also casually hugged back the pillow in her hands.

"Judah if you don't want to get up, I'll go to the field myself. Let the two of you be punished by coach Jaka" I stood up and hurried to go do morning gymnastics.

Even though Ani's leg was sick, coach Jaka still told her to follow the usual activities. Even if he just sat down, at least he could pay attention to the exercises done.

"Yes, this is waking up"

"Well that's dong" I went back to those who were awake.

Finally this morning we returned to doing morning activities, maybe this is the last day to exercise.

Because tomorrow we will have a game and tomorrow we will return to our hometown. I hope tomorrow is a day that makes us smile.

"We're ending this morning's activities, and now please do breakfast"

"Each coach"

After doing morning exercises, we did breakfast together at the dinner table. When I arrived late for going to the toilet, I accidentally saw someone who wanted to mix something into our food.

"What he's doing, it looks like it's something foreign that's going to be put into our food" I muttered and hid. It was clear that his movements were to add the material.

Luckily my brain was smooth and did something silly so he wouldn't commit a crime. I photographed him in the face. Then I prepared something as if there was someone in this kitchen.

\*kompyanggg\* the pan was thrown hard when I hit it with a boulder. He was immediately startled and looked towards the pan.

"Who" she clapped with a frightened face.

"Aaakuuu is the kitchen's waiter. What are you doing here" I changed the voice to a bigger one to make sure I was the waiter.

The smile on his face was clearly visible when he saw he was scared instead of playing. Either he thinks people or ghosts but he's obviously freaked out right now.
