The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
66. David's soul mate

David's left-footed goal made the crowd scream. Even Yuri and I were also screaming with excitement while jumping up and down because they were very happy. All players perform celebration praying, some are prostrating gratitude there is also praying to their respective God.

"Ye, ye, gollllll" I shouted in excitement with Yuri. Finally the long-awaited momentum arrived. The provisional score turned to 1-2.

The game is not finished, the game is getting heated up. The opposing player also makes an attack but can still be thwarted. And our team also did attack after attack until finally in the 87th minute our team scored again. The score becomes 2-2 after the opposing team conceded. The score was still the same until the long whistle sounded.

"Gollll, David" I cried hysterically because I was so happy they scored in the last minute.

"Woyyy, gollll. Don't worry, why are you thanking David"

"It's okay Yur, I'm too excited" I said, and we prayed back to jump in joy.

In the end, a penalty shootout was held to find out which team deserved to bring the tournament cup today. This situation is very stressful both from the player and the audience. Any player who takes a penalty kick will have a big responsibility on his shoulders. Then they have to be calm and stay focused to break into the goal.

"Crazy Yur, this makes the atmosphere tense the most"

" Right key, even though I don't like the ball very much but this is very stressful key" Yuri said with a look of caution and focus on the penalty kick.

Our team took a penalty kick first. The first execution was carried out by Sahrul as a midfielder who will start the kick.

"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, Bismillaahirrohaanirrohiim" Yuri continued chanting prayers, as did I while staring at the penalty kick that was done.

"Gollllll, thank God gollll" Scores to 1-0, a beautiful kick by tricking the goalkeeper.

The next kick for the opposing team, and it is unfortunate that the goalkeeper failed to prevent the entry of the ball even though he could already read where the direction of the ball is. But it's okay because there's still the next kick.

"Relax Yur, pray for a kick from Baron as the team captain hopefully can break the goal"

"Yes key, focus-focus"

"Golllllll" Very thin once the ball hit the crossbar. And thank God luck is still on our side.

The score was 2-1. And the next kick from the opposing team. From the kick the goalkeeper was finally able to read the direction of the ball and managed to pull over. Tidka's score changed to 2-1.

The third kicker was Doni, and it was unfortunate that Doni also failed because his kick shot far above the crossbar. Doni's face was very sad, even he vented an annoyance at himself.

But as he returns to the back, the team mates embrace each other and provide support to him. I smiled on the sidelines because they listened to coach Beni's words to avoid blaming each other.

"The spirit of Don, don't despair" I shouted in the audience.

The score is still the same 2-1 and continued the next kicker managed to break into the team's goal so that the current score becomes 2-2. All rumbled due to uncertain circumstances. But whatever the end result, they are still the retainer who is the winner.

In the fourth kick, both teams managed to produce points with a 3-3 position. At the moment, the fifth penendnag must execute well and the goalkeeper must be able to hold the ball from the opposing team in order to stop this match into a victory for our team.

The last kicker was David, he had a strong left foot to kick the ball. Usually the left leg kicker is very difficult to read by the goalkeeper. Now David's eyes are concentrated, even though there are a lot of shouts or insults that disturb concentration but I hope David forget all that.

*prittyy*tightening seconds. I closed my eyes in prayer and hoped David would execute the ball well.

"Gollllllll" The cheer woke my eyes from prayer. David managed to break into the goal but this is not over because the goalkeeper must focus on holding the kick from the opposing team for us to reach the kemengan.

*prittt* after David's celebration, the whistle for the last kicker of the opposing team is sounded. My eyes closed again to pray. Not just me, but all the spectators and players felt an incredible tension.

*pc*

"Yyeeeeeee" A very loud shout woke me up and shouted in excitement.

Finally we got a good win and managed to bring the cup. After the last kick from the opposing team was able to be tepis by the goalkeeper. Everyone screamed and went into the field to celebrate. So did Yuri and I run to get to the players.

I ran towards the direction of David who was being euphoric with this victory. Everyone is happy, both the audience and the players. Urge after insistence I do not care because we feel very happy to welcome victory.

"David, congratulations" I told him. Then followed by the words that Yuri gave as well. I smiled happily when I saw him succeed in bringing victory.

"There are many keys, thank you very much Yuri. Oh yes this is all because of the passion you gave us and it's very influential Key" This time David looked at me warmly. He smiled while holding my shoulder.

"Your game...... "

"David" I'm not done giving David a compliment, Suddenly a beautiful woman with fancy makeup came to see David. She hugged him tightly, and I just saw him and fell silent.

"You're saying this" David's face looked angry as he looked at the woman, he also let go of the hug forcefully.

"Your father told me that you played and entered the final so I came here but I was late because the match was over. And I brought the good news that tomorrow I'm going to school at your school" she said so happily.

Yuri and I looked at each other in surprise. As if in our minds full of question marks, who is the woman. If you see him very familiar with David, maybe he's his brother or his cousin.

"Who's the key" whispered Yuri to me who only shook her head to hear her question.

"Let's go, yuk yur let's go" I turned around and held Yuri's hand to rush away from her.

"Key wait" David chases and holds my hand so as not to walk again

"I want to go home" I'm short with Bete's face looking at it.

"Just go home with me"

"Aren't you going to do a kemengan uforia with your team? " I asked David. Because after the victory there will definitely be celebration in a team. Just like my team did back then.

"Let's go home with me"

"No, no, it's just delicious. You should have come home with me instead of with her" Again the woman interrupted our conversation. He even forcefully removed David's hand.

Hearing the word cheap lady, it felt like my hand was ready to slap. Right now the rough grip had hardened and wanted to be ready to hit his disdainful face.

"Just calm down, I didn't take it. After all we don't know very well" I said by holding tightness in the hearts that came back hurt.

Just now David healed the wound slowly although not completely, but this time he again made the wound even stab him many times.

"Let's go home" I pulled Yuri's hand and we went to go home.

"Wait for the key, wait" David wanted to chase me but his hand was held back by the woman. Even he could not struggle with that woman. I closed my ears and left. Ignoring his shouting that kept calling but his pace could not catch up in the slightest.

Get in Yuri's car, get some food at a nearby place. I thought we were going to eat in an ordinary place, but it turns out that Yuri brought me to a place to eat near the beach in the city.

"Kok here yur? " I was surprised when Yuri brought me on the beach with such a beautiful atmosphere. The atmosphere of twilight to be exact, the seduction of coconut trees back waving.

"I want you to smile" Yuri said in a silly manner by putting an index finger on her cheek.

"I'm smiling" I said

"What a smile, you're heartbroken" Yuri knows if my heart really broke from seeing David with another woman. I can't say anything because David is already in his arms.

"Hey key" Yuri patted my dreamy back

"Astaghfirullah Yuri, surprised me"

"Come down, we've arrived" We got off and sat by the beach ordering healthy coconuts. It refreshes the throat and also refreshes the heart.

"We yell together yuk key" Invite Yuri to me when we're right by the beach.

The silent atmosphere only sounded the waves and the sound of birds going away. I stared at the ceiling that was starting to get red. Slowly go away replaced by evening. I nodded at Yuri to hint that I wanted to shout with her.

"One, two, three"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Shouted as loudly as possible, momentarily making my heart relieved. Likewise with Yuri, I don't know for sure what's on his mind but he's done in a long shout.

"I'm sorry I did, because of me you and Ari became separated like this" I was surprised by Yuri's words. Immediately I looked at him closely.

"You're not wrong, it's all because of my fault. I can't prove to Ari that we're innocent" I know Yuri feels guilty because Ari is my best friend from Junior High School. Yuri feels that it was she who destroyed this friendship but who destroyed the friendship was actually Rena.

"I love you guys, even I love Ari even though we're different now" My hand tried to embrace Yuri from behind. Sitting together stared at the twilight that slowly disappeared. While saying an outpouring of hearts broken by separation.

"Of course, we go alone. I'm sure we'll be great to deal with problems" Yuri smiled listening to my words. The friendship between the two of us is getting closer, but in my heart I still think about Ari. I don't hate her but I hate Rena.

Until I will still love Ari and look at him as a friend even though I know that he does not consider me and Yuri as his friends anymore.

As I looked at the ceiling, I remembered the picture of the friendly life of the three of us that was serene. Until finally in a broken storm that suddenly came until all was broken apart and only I and Yuri were left who were still binding the hearts of each other.

"You don't pretend to calm down, I know you're sick"

"You mean Yur? "

"You're sick to see David close to the woman" I fell silent, from where he knew that my heart hurt so much when I saw them both.

"How do you know" I asked him. But yuri smiled instead of answering my question.

"Obviously I know, because I feel that when you are with David your heart is very happy, no" I smiled at Yuri's explanation.

I explained to her that I was very happy to be close to David. I wanted to tell you everything but it seemed like this was enough so I didn't look very hopeful with David. After all, there are already women who will be betrothed to him.

If you see I don't lash out with David. Worship the heavens and the earth, the moon and the land, and the people and the princes. Everything is so different so much unlike the woman who looks so perfect.

"Have it, don't talk about it. We better talk about our friendship" Spending a twilight and changing with a starry night gaze. Yuri and I rushed home. Yuri drove me home and I laid myself on the bed with bobo as usual.

It seems like my relationship with Ari is getting worse. How can I make Ari like he used to be whereas Rena keeps poisoning his mind. I don't know what else to do.

Ari, dad, brother Dika and lastly David. They broke my heart, but it gradually improved with my own hands and the help of the good people close to my life.

I also always avoid when I see my father in front of school. I don't want Dika's sister to see it. I would rather live in this situation, with the affection of my mother and father's family and my mother who I love the most. They are the comforters of my withered heart. Just like Yuri, who was always there and made me smile.

Very bright morning, in front of the school gate there was already a welcome banner for the men's football team that won the 1st champion. This welcome is even bigger than our team's previous welcome.

Morning apples are held to reward all those who have already perfected the name of the school. I'm happy with all this too. Even David is increasingly an idol after getting the award as the top scorer.

Uforia is very interesting and very cool. After that I left everything to stay in the classroom. There is no time to celebrate anyway, for my time is consumed by erratic thoughts.
