The Bridge of Satan
Match Continued!
I haven't introduced myself before, have I?. Well I'm going to get straight to the point, because I'm not a person who likes to waste my time explaining things in detail. My name is Dawn and I am currently a 3rd year junior high school student.
My parents and I live in a village far from urban. I never knew what the urban landscape was like, my father only told me that the views in the city were incredible. Because my father is from the city and my mother is from this village. Somehow they could meet and be a soul mate, it was only god knows.
Then about my school, I am currently attending Junior High School called Full Moon Junior High School. The location of the school is quite strange and rather terrible in my opinion, because of its location on the hill and in the middle of the forest. But even though the school feels creepy, there is the only school for Junior High in this village. So inevitably we villagers have to send their children to Full Moon Junior High School.
Then I also have many friends who always accompany me every day. Then making friends and getting to know other students is fun. Therefore my fear that I felt every climb up the hill disappeared as time went on.
But... do you know? if in the village we have creepy rumors that are told for generations. Rumor has it not to cross the bridge on the hill. It wasn't far from my school, but close enough. The bridge is made of wooden pedestal and rope as a buffer.
It looks creepy because it looks like the bridge has long been from the fragile wood and the rope that has been torn. I once stood by the bridge and saw what was on the bridge. There was actually nothing to be afraid of, as there was only a forest ahead there like a forest surrounding our school. It was just that the place was filled with a slightly thick fog.
My grandfather once told me never to approach the bridge let alone cross it. My grandfather said that if he crossed the bridge, that man would never be able to return to his world. Which means that the bridge is a path to another world besides humans, the world of demons! that is why the bridge was given the nickname as the bridge of the devil.
There are already some people who have been lost before because they passed the bridge just because they want to challenge themselves. As a result they were reported to disappear and the rumor became more and more so in our village. But thankfully after some time the rumors began to fade because no one had ever crossed the bridge.
But.the rumor was again a hot topic of conversation in the village. Because there was a teacher in our Junior High School who was rumored to disappear, then the villagers around immediately stated one thing, namely the disappearance of the teacher because it passed the demon bridge. The name of the teacher is Mr. Budi, he teaches physics lessons and is also our physics teacher.
Until now, Pak Budi has not been found and the villagers again feel the extraordinary fear they have experienced before. There was nothing the villagers could do to remove the bridge. Because it used to be said that the bridge was once burned down by the residents because it was considered mystical.
But what happens tomorrow? the bridge returned to its original state. But they had obviously burned it properly and made the bridge cut off and fell into the river. But the bridge instantly returned to its state before they burned it.
It's really an impossible thing, everyone knows that. There might be a human who could rebuild the bridge exactly as before. Then they realize one thing, if this is not the work of man, but a creature of unknown identity or that we know as Satan!.
...****************...
Meanwhile a football match between the 3-9 class against the 2-5 class is underway and the match is heating up as each team scores the same!. Before the school bell rang and restarted learning, there was still 5 minutes left to determine who would win this match which is currently 2-2.
My friends are tired, this is something bad for our team. But on the other hand they also look very tired, except for the boy, Zilan. It looks like they have already planned a mature strategy to beat our famous team for never losing against any of our opponents.
Because I am the greatest striker because I have great stamina and also I am good at playing the ball with my running speed. The question of why Zilan is not tired is, it is about their strategy that makes 4 people as strikers. They closed the reality for a while if Zilan was a great striker in their team.
By making a strong attack without Zilan who only helps pass the ball. Because before Zilan always went forward and scored even though his team always lost against us. But in the final seconds we always counter-attacked because they took advantage of the exhausted Zilan and they could only defend.
This time Zilan did not waste his energy and saved it in the last moments so that he could maximize the attack at the end of the game. They seemed to be thinking of a very perfect strategy to break into our perfect defense.
"Yumoo! go!" said Zilan who finally began to do the real resistance that he had been waiting for.
"Everything! you guys hit the others! about Zilan! leave it to me!" my words are getting excited. Because it would be very embarrassing for us who have the nickname invincible will lose while being watched by many people today.
"Good! don't let anyone give a gap to your opponent!" connect Bagas.
Zilan's team went forward with a strange move, it confused me where they would aim the ball. But right now I just need to focus on being near Zilan who is the most dangerous person right now. They pass the ball very well, even though they are exhausted like that, huh they have an incredible spirit it turns out.
But Ardi easily passed the defense Andri with his technique and agility.
"ZILAAAAAN!" shouted Ardi while tossing the ball towards me and Zilan quite high.
"The ball is too high.." I said inwardly.
Before the ball got to us, Zilan and I jumped up high to head the ball. This was their last chance to make this attack.if they failed, then our unbeaten team would still win. If they can win this game with this last attack, then our nickname will be the former undefeated.
Currently both teams are betting on the ball that is bouncing towards me and Zilan.. To determine who will win this match.
"Yahoooooooo!" say me and Zilan loudly and passionately while jumping up high.
Eh!?.. Why did Zilan jump so high? ah. true too. In this match he did not spend at all as much energy as usual. Therefore he still stores a lot of energy and can jump high. The ball didn't get to me, but it got to Zilan because it jumped high.
Duk! the ball was in the header hard towards the goal of our team. Agus who is currently guarding the goal is ready to receive the ball that floats straight towards him. I smiled a little because it seemed like the ball would be easily caught or tepis by Agus who is the best goalkeeper.
But unexpected events happened again, suddenly Ardi came to welcome the ball that was drifting straight towards Agus. Lothawat! how could he suddenly be there? then Ardi immediately jumped the salto to kick the ball and change the direction of the ball so that it went to the side.
Until finally Agus who was preparing to catch the ball must immediately run to the side to block the ball that will soon enter. But not able! the ball was too fast even though Agus had jumped to hold it, it kept going and finally, GOOOLLLL!.
"GOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!" Shouted everyone simultaneously both from the opposing team and the spectators. They look very satisfied because finally the champion is invincible, losing for the first time with an unexpected opponent strategy.
Everyone cheered their victory and were happy to beat our team. Meanwhile, our team was silent at their unpredictable strategy and I admitted that they made an incredible unexpected move.
Then I approached their team celebrating their victory, "Cih!" my real words don't want to admit it.
"Haha! brother is also very great because all this time never lost" said Ardi who returned my praise.
"Hehehe, what about the trick we used? you can't expect it at all, can you?" said Zilan who felt proud.
"Basic! you guys are too great! ahaha!" I laughed as I rubbed the hair of the two of them and we ended up laughing together.
Well, it was a really fun game, somehow it felt so much fun even though it was a loss rather than a win. Looks like it's because we've grown tired of winning hahaha!.
Kingggg! kringgg! the school bell had rang again and we immediately returned to our respective classes to continue our learning. After school, I plan to go home soon. Yeah! this is a habit I often do when I go home from school.
Every time I go home from school I never go to play with my friends and go home soon. Because I always wanted to hear the story of the demon bridge from my grandfather who was the oldest of all the villagers and of course grandfather knows more about the mystical story of the devil bridge that's.
I can't wait to get home and hear Grandpa's story about the bridge. Although sometimes I feel scared and goosebumps hearing my grandfather's story. But on the other hand the story is very interesting and fun. Well. Hopefully with this grandfather story I can find a way to remove the demon bridge...
