The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
67. Doni Declares Love

I sat in the classroom in a quiet place. I'm the only one relaxing here. Looking at books and writing what I want, what matters is not a lesson.

"Key why is he here? " Yuri entered the classroom with Dika's sister

"Eh y'all, it's better to be quiet here" I said

"No-no, you should come along for fun" Yuri dragged my hand, but I chose to stay here.

"No Yuri, I want to be alone first. Okay" I said gently to her while throwing a smile.

"Come on key, I'm afraid you're stressed out here" said Dika's sister who coaxed me. But this time I just wanted to calm my emotions. Better to stay here, not want to see the crowd.

The two of them did not manage to persuade me to quit the class because my ego was very high. Moreover, I'm so lazy to see David because if I remember that woman, it's a pain in the ass.

"No, you're the only ones leaving. Let me here" Egoku still says it's better here than outside.

"OK if that's what we are with you" With her upset face Yuri sat beside me holding Dika's big brother's hand and she sat down.

Finally I was devastated because I did not want to see the pensive Yuri accompanying me who was not clear this. How could he and brother Dika be here to daydream with me, you silly little prick. But it's not entirely my complaint to come with them out, I'm just pretending to agree.

"OK, I'll come with you. But I'll catch up with him later. You guys go first and I want to clear this up" Yuri managed to persuade me well. And forced me to agree to quit the class and join the uforia.

"Yes we've gone first yes key" said Kak Dika who followed Yuri to say goodbye as well. They both left and passed from class. While I was still comfortable in class due to the quiet calmness. I've gotten used to enjoying the silence so I've been friends with him. I lied to both of them saying I wanted to catch up with him, but I was still in the classroom.

In class, there was only me and 2 other friends who were reading books. I imagined that they were both Ari who always read books. Since Ari was close to Rena, she has become increasingly lazy to read or study. Even Ari already felt arrogant when asked questions by the teacher in class. It's ironic that Ari's change hurts me.

"Key, I want to talk to you" Not long after that David suddenly came in front of me. He turned the chair so we were actually facing each other.

"What else is there to talk about, it's all clear" I answered with a smile even though it was painful.

"Key listen to my explanation, "I don't want to listen to his explanation, it's enough he hurt me. David tried to hold my hand but I let go.

"I know all, you came from abroad and forgot our memories. And it turns out that the question in my mind at that time was answered, now with the woman's statement that you have been betrothed. Then what else are you going to do to me. Still not content to hurt me vid" My gaze was really with hate, hate David who never told me the truth.

"That's all Key's fault, I don't like it. I just liked you a long time ago"

"Keep that word of yours, throw it in the trash if you need to" I got out of my seat and left David alone there.

My hands clenched up wanting to do something. Wanting to hit anyone to forget the frustration. Running to the silent toilet, put all emotions on the silent walls. Hit him until blood flowed from both my hands.

"Aaaaa, why do you always hurt me. Is everything not enough? "

*buk, buk* I vented it all, occasionally wiping away tears. In turn, both my hands were filled with frustration. And tried to hold back the tears but it was full of memories in my eyes.

"If you liked me a long time ago, why not say Vid. Why avoid" I cried aloof over there. Fortunately, the toilet was empty.

"O Allah, I am tired" Called on the Lord of nature. I wish there was a miracle that came to my life and changed everything so that I could be happy again. Trying to stand up from my slump that makes this body squabble under the floor.

Look in the mirror and wash your face so that it doesn't look like I'm crying. It did not seem that this hand was covered in blood. This pain is nothing compared to the pain in my life. Just shut up and feel it and then treat this wound. But only external wounds are not internal wounds.

Wash your hands with water, but the blood just keeps flowing. I rushed to the UKS to treat it myself so as not to become an infection. Forget everything and walk towards the UKS.

In the middle of the road I accidentally saw the fallen ari being hit by the students who had fun holding a victory celebration. Rena just kept quiet and didn't help her. My steps rushed to him.

"Wake up" I helped Ari to stand up. Ari's gaze blended into one with my gaze that held back longing. Long for old friendships and even miss everything. I wanted to hug her, but it felt impossible.

"Thank you" he said, then Ari's gaze was fixed on my two injured hands. He tried to touch her as if his lips wanted to ask, what happened and why is it like this?. But I immediately withdrew my hand and left in front of him.

A very short but meaningful meeting with the gaze of a friend. If you knew that I missed you. With you having more attention, even I miss everything.

Staying in the UKS with the help of managers there. Cleansing the wound with affection, I remember that time again. When my leg was injured, Ari and Yuri always helped to clean the wound. Although not every day but I feel affection in his touch.

"Why can this be like a child" asked the UKS management teacher.

"Son, son" The call made me realize that the teacher called many times while poking my body.

"Sorry Mom, I'm sorry I didn't hear" I said feeling guilty for not being immediately aware of his call because of the musings I was thinking.

"You're why, daydreaming and losing focus. Even your hands are like this" He gently asked as he gently rubbed this wound and wrapped it with a bandage.

"No ma'am, I just fell" I said a lie, because no one wanted to know about my broken heart.

It seems that the mother teacher of the UKS guard understood the feeling that I was holding at the moment.he just chose silence and then treated it painstakingly until the wound was completely covered.

"Thank you so much for helping me mom"

"Yes Equally, you should be excited" Her hand gently rubbed my hair as if it were the touch of a mother. His heart was as sincere as silk, and I went away with a kiss of his hand.

Walk in the quiet hallway, as almost all the students in the middle of the field celebrated victory. Occasionally look at my hands alternately covered with bandages. Flipping back and forth as if I still do not believe that I express irritation and pain in the hand until it is not felt.

"Key, let's "Doni suddenly come over to me. He took my hand and pulled it.

"Oh, ouch, Don's sick"

"Geez, why is it Key" Doni was surprised to see my hand bandaged.

"It's okay" I said briefly. Doni fell silent and looked back at my two injured hands.

"Lied, you hurt too badly key. Maybe not just your hand but your heart"

"Sokay know you" I said as I walked away from her.

"Key, I just found a woman as strong as you" Doni chased after me and said so. But I kept rushing off and leaving.

"Then I like you so much that I love you key too" I stopped these footsteps when I heard Doni's words.

"Do you want to accept my love Key? " It was so quick, but my love was still with David. David can't be replaced by anyone, although I must be aware that David has been betrothed. Right now I don't want to accept anyone, my heart may be dead.

"You're a good man Don, I hope you get better than me. Just make friends "Holding Doni's shoulder to give the understanding that I rejected her subtly. I don't want to add to the burden of pain in me. Let me walk with the solitude I feel.

"But I like your key" cried a loud bouncy doni accompanied by emotion. He kept shouting as I walked back to him.

"Key, "The call is poignant, the voice is full of loneliness. I know he's just as lonely as me but my heart can't lie because right now I don't like anyone but David.

"Don, I want us to just be friends no more than that" I hugged him once more, he squatted down on the floor in weakness.

"Bless your head, don't make your heart hurt by the word love" I raised his chin so that Doni does not bow in lethargy from accepting rejection.

"Right now it's just you that I trust the key, there's nothing else" Doni cried sadly, fortunately the hallway of the classroom was currently quiet so no one knew of his sadness.

"Stand, you don't deserve to cry. Because you deserve to see your bright future" I helped her to stand up.

"Why do you reject my love? "

"Because if I accept you, then I have to take a risk. If one day we break up, I not only lose a lover but also a good friend like you" I explained to him.

We sat on a bench in the hallway. I tried to calm him down and give him some understanding. Just this time I saw someone who was broken because of love. actually Doni's heart has been broken in his house, but I do not deserve to be made home because now I myself am trying to find a home.

"Your house is not me Don, but I'm only willing to make your shelter temporary to hold all your stories"

" I don't know the key, I just have you in mind" Still Doni said that.

"Smile, I'm your friend and I love you as a friend" I said to make his heart better.

"Don't stay with me key, me alone" She said softly, I knew she was slumped on the tip of the horn. If a person like Doni is left behind then it does not rule out the possibility that he will do more reckless things.

"I'll be right next to you when you need a place of sighing" I hugged her with warmth as a sense of friendship.

I don't want Doni to go through the pain in his family with solitude. But I can't accompany her as a lover either. I can only accompany Doni as a friend and friend on his journey.

"Well key, be my story friend. Don't leave me alone because I'm a weak person" Doni realizes and he doesn't force anymore to say love to me.

"Yes I'm going first"

"Yes key be careful" I was forced to leave his hadao, though his eyes could not lie about the loneliness that enveloped Doni's day.

"Oh yeah one more thing, wipe your tears in fear that someone will see" Doni hurriedly wiped his tears and glazed beside the class. I smiled seeing her act like that.

I know Doni's heart hasn't completely forgotten this. Maybe he felt comfortable with me to the point of hurrying to declare love. But I feel like I'm dead with the word love, I'm afraid of getting hurt again. And in this heart there is still the name of David even though it is impossible to be with him.

"Keyyyy, you lied to me. He said he wanted to come out to see me and celebrate the excitement on the pitch. But you're not around and I'm looking for you"

With a gloomy face Yuri approached me who was sitting in the classroom. He came and rambled all the time. And I just listened and listened to his chatter. My ears are used to hearing broken radios.

"So I've been tired, but you don't exist" I said briefly

"No way, I'm in...... " Yuri stopped her chattering when she saw that both of my hands were wrapped in bandages. He held it to see what happened

"This is why key? "

"It hurts Yur" He held on so incautiously that he was exposed to this wound.

"Sorry, sorry, you're why key"

"It's okay, I just fell over" To lie to Yuri is my way of not worrying too much. When it is time, I will explain it well.
