The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
60. The Poor Doni

*Tetttt* the bell went home, I, Ari and Yuri rushed out of the classroom. The three of us walked together to go home. Suddenly halfway through I forgot to bring the book in the desk drawer.

"H wait, it looks like my book forgot to bring and left in the desk drawer. You guys go home first yeah, be careful on the road" I said to them.

"Yes key, you are also careful" Sahut Yuri and Ari who are interconnected.

"Ready, ready "I'm rushing to class. When I got there I still saw David writing something. I don't know what he wrote, I don't want to know anything about him.

I passed it like there was no one in the class. Take the book in the drawer and put it in the bag. And rushed out of the classroom.

"Key wait" I turned my back when David grilled me.

"What's wrong? " My mouth with a lazy face.

"Emm, do you want extra training? Especially to recover your injury"

"No need" I answered briefly.

"But your injury will be long recovered"

"What do you care about me, aren't we just class mates. So don't think about me, because we have our own paths" I said, facing him and holding onto the table in front. Then hurried off leaving David alone there.

Why does he care about me anymore. After all, the doctor said that my leg had healed even though it still had to be in the recovery stage. But why coach Alam and David say not healed 100% is probably because my game in training is bad, or just David's wits so I can practice together with him.

Never mind, I'd better walk quietly without thinking about David. Let the past be the past, for David now is not the David I knew. And Keyla isn't the old Keyla.

"It was like a car this morning. Is it possible that you're inside" When my steps came in front of the gate, I saw the car that you were wearing this morning. I went up to him and wanted to see if he was my father or not.

*tok, tok, tok*I tapped on the car glass window. Looks like there's one person inside.

"Excuse me" The glass slowly came down making my eyes wide and silenced my lips. It felt frozen and could not mumble anything. It's like a really amazing surprise, I actually met him.

"Dad, father" I still deserve to call him father, and for years he has left me until now I have never felt his affection.

"Yes deck, who are you looking for" I froze looking at him as he spoke to me. He got out of the car and approached me. It's really like a dream, the person standing before me is my father.

"Do you know me? " Tuksu with a sad look.

"Who are you? " I know he won't know me. About 10 years ago he left me. And now my face has changed like never before.

"Keyla adara" His gaze instantly froze, as if he had been shackled by the past. His lips were shut in an instant. He must have known that name, because he was the one who gave it. He said there was only one name in the village. There will be no name that can imitate it. I still remember that word.

"Key... La? " His lips twitched, his gaze became one. His eyes were glazed over and wanted to drip it but were still restrained. His hands tried to touch this face. His heart seemed to not believe, that a child he had left behind was now grown. What he used to carry, now he can run.

"Yes, 10 years ago was abandoned by a father. And is it worth it that I still call you Dad? " My tears trickled as I revealed the contents of my hurt heart.

I missed him a long time ago, but stared at him as hatred and disappointment mixed into one with joy. Yet it seems that joy has been covered by an inherent hatred.

"Key, sorry dad son. Daddy loves you" Quickly his hand hugged me. Giving affection in his arms. Grasping my body tightly as if not wanting to let go. It's the first hug from a father, I've never had it before. My heart dries from the name of a father.

God, is this the meeting you planned. A father I dreamed of, even though he left me with no responsibility but he was also my real father. His blood flowed in my blood even though it had frozen with longing.

"Key, I love you, son. Father misses" His hands still gently stroked my hair. Leaning this body in his warm embrace.

"If it's a pity, why leave" I snapped while releasing the hug forcefully. I hate him so much, but I miss him too.

If you know father, I envy those who have his first love, a father, as I must seek and beg for that affection from the father of another. Can he still consider himself a good father, or a coward.

"Key you don't know everything, one day you will understand the reason for father key" said the gentleman trying to explain while looking at me with a look of guilt.

"What a reason well, indeed my father felt my life was hanging without affection. Even dad is the worst parent in my life" I vented the frustration I've been so sorry for. I hate him so much. If there was a reason for leaving me, why didn't he say it.

"I know you're married again, dad's son is here" Although I don't know for sure who his son who went to school here, but I do know he will definitely wait for his son to come home.

"Yes key, but he was.... "

"Well, now I know my father left my mother and I for wanting to marry a rich man. May you be happy with the life now" My hands wiped away the tears that kept flowing. A sad and hateful look I threw at him.

"Wait" His hand clasped my hand tightly and held me back from leaving.

*brak* I threw it hard. Let alone him arrest me, after all he already has a new family. I ran with tears flowing. Until almost hit by a car for running carelessly when crossing.

*tinn*

"Sorry sir" I bowed to apologize. Then back to running, I don't know where I'm headed right now. I want to express the sadness that exists.

POV DIKA

"Papa spoke to whom there" I muttered in the day when I saw my father talking to a student from this school. But I didn't see for sure because his body and face were covered by students standing on the sidewalk waiting for an invitation.

"Papa" I rushed up to him and it turned out that the woman was gone. I don't know where I went I don't know.

"Papa, see what pa? " My words as her nether looked into one corner in a daydream and kept silent were like aiming at someone.

"Hmm no, papa didn't see anything" he replied.

"So I saw papa talking to this schoolgirl again huh? " I was curious about the boy and what they were talking about.

"Yes papa asked"

"Ohhh, who do I think. I'm sorry about that there was a little business with the teacher. Yaudah let's go home" We both got back in the car. This heart papa drove me because my bike was repaired in the workshop so papa who drove me and picked me up to go home.

POV DIKA DONE

Ride the car without a purpose. My direction is now drifting. Knowing that dad is married again. Even without explanation he left me and got married and had a child.

"Left brother" Stopped at the place I saw so beautiful. This time I headed for the beach. There is a lot of entertainment that might be able to entertain me when sad hit. Or I'll wait for dusk to get rid of the bumps here.

Sitting cross-legged staring at the ocean waves. The empty look that makes me daydream. The people I missed have arrived. But this time with a different mood and circumstances. Shame if I cry over all this. I can't cover up if my heart is sad.

Ocean waves, can you hear me. Please throw all my bike, miss me and piss me off. Even throw down the wounds that are in this soul. Make me smile with your wave seduction.

The wind here is very cold. Entering my ears politely and I enjoy it. Soon the dusk slowly began to sink and sadly I disappeared with the chirping of birds-whales who wanted to go home.

"Aaaaaayyahhhhhhh, can you turn the clock? So that you can come back and hug me like any other father" I cried with emotion, hoping to be blown away with the waves of the ocean. No matter how many people hear as long as my heart is calm.

"Key, you're not home yet" I looked up when I heard someone who knew me.

"You" I was surprised to turn around and it was Doni.

"You followed me, right? " I asked with a trenchant tone to her. Because he always just came and suddenly left too. I also tried to hide my crying, checking for any tears.

"No, I'm not following you. I just want to get rid of the chopstick so come here. Moreover, dusk has not completely disappeared" explained to me.

"You ruined my gun day" I got out of my seat, picked up the bag and walked away.

"Wait for key, I'm not here to bother you. I just want to sit with you anyway.this is the place that makes me calm when the moor comes"

She chased after me and pulled my hand so as not to leave him. Her lips also tried to explain that this place was one of the places that made her calm.

"What a hell don, I want to go home" I threw his grip in annoyance. Maybe that was just the reason so he could follow me all the way here.

"I just need a friend of the key story, right now I'm very weak and I feel like I just want to die" I stopped my steps and focused on arranging it.

"No, no, he cannot end his life" I murmured inwardly.

"I wanted to end Key's life, but after knowing you as if I had new hope" my heart was touched by his words. I just found out that he also has a problem that will end his life. It seems like the problem is very complicated.

"Sit down" I'm not going home. I sat on the edge of the trees with enough lighting. On this beach there are still many people who walk and enjoy the twilight ends.

We sat together beside the coconut tree. Then Doni thought about his life problems that were destroyed because of the affair. He said his mother's father had a fight that made his brain feel broken. He even wanted to end his life. He said his life changed when he saw me, he said he always found positive energy in me.

Pilu is also the storyline, almost the same as me only the difference between his parents did not leave him. Just disagree and argue.

"The world is cruel, yes key, they are ruining my colorful world and are now gray" I silently listened to her words. As I looked at her, Doni's tears were dripping between her cheeks. It is a man when his heart is broken.

"Don, everyone has a life but not everyone enjoys it" I clasped his hands and said something. Wishing her heart to calm down and enjoy life.

"What does key mean? "

"You know, out there many want to end their lives because they are not strong enough to face their lives. And here we who are strong to face life will survive it until the final episode"

I explained while imagining my life being destroyed by my own two parents. Because they destroyed it and made it all fall apart, but up to this point I still enjoyed life even though it was uneven.

"Don't cry, your life is still long Don" I wiped his tears gently my heart was deeply moved by the story.

"Yes Key, thank you very much for all you want. Just this time I saw a sincere woman like you. I didn't expect, your tomboyish personality turned out to have a good heart" She praised me too much. I don't like compliments that are too high.

While her fragile self tried to lean her head on my shoulders. I accepted it when I saw how cruel her life was until she dared to cry tired and sick like this.

"Don't praise too much, let's go home late" I yelled at him because I didn't like words of praise.

" Just been praised well, uh now even fierce again" he murmured to me. I finally went home with Doni. He led me to the intersection of the village. The usual place I go down when someone delivers.

"Just here don"

"Where's your house key? " Donis parked his bike.

"That's right there"

"Why not just go there" Until now I don't want friends to listen to more neighbors and say I'm a son of a whore.

"No need, thank you Doni" I said gently.

Sometimes I also forbid Dika, Ari and Yuri from going home often. But Yuri and Ari keep pushing until they finally know the whore's son's curse from the neighbor's mouth. But Yuri and Ari ignored him, because he was my best friend.
