3 Perfected Decades
My meeting with Rania
Radit and I have reached the gym, pedaling a bike for thirty minutes. It turns out the other friends have also come first. Not only students who will play basketball games, but the students who support as spectators have also come a lot.
Nino and I walked into the gym the last time. Because Nino had to help our gym teacher, bring us some drinking water and lemonade. Turns out we both got lost when we got into the locker room. We instead went into the opposing school's locker room, which was planning the strategy they were going to use.
All the eyes inside the locker room looked at us with a surprised look, then turned into sharp glances.
" Eh, sorry. Looks like we got it wrong!" I said with a clumsy smile, then quickly got out of there by pulling Nino's hand.
Nino laughed, "We went in the dressing room wrong, right?"
Nino with a sinless look, laughed instead. Obviously he went first into that dressing room. But I'm the only one apologizing to them.
" You know what's wrong, why don't you apologize to them!" reply me to a question from Nino just now.
" Hehe...sorry!"
" It's not the same with me! But same with them!"
Me and Nino this time right into our dressing room. Where all the friends have been waiting, to talk about the strategy that our team will use. I put out a strategy that can be done by children at High School level.
I made a simple strategy, so that other friends are easy when running it. And the idea of my strategy was approved by everyone, both teachers and members of the basketball team.
Since there was still about ten minutes before, the event started. I'll let you go to the bathroom. Because you feel like urinating, it has become a habit of life before. I always want to pee first, before every game.
When I came out of the bathroom, I walked in a relaxed manner. I collided with a female student from the opposing school. Because the girl was wearing an opponent's school gym suit.
" Sorry!" He said while bowing his head.
" Yes, be careful next time."
I also plan to walk again to the field area, where the match took place.
" Wait!" The girl shouted at me who had just stepped a few steps.
" What's up!" I was very upset, and turned my body back to him.
" This is yours?" The girl gave me a white puppy-shaped hanger.
I also just realized that my bag hanger had come off. I took it and thanked the beautiful girl in front of me.
" Can I contact you?" he said it to me again.
" King," knew me, and stretched out my hand.
" Rania," she replied as she welcomed my hand.
When she mentioned her name, my heart was beating so fast. It was very painful, but there was a sense of happiness. I still clasped his hand, while looking at the face of the beautiful girl before me at this moment.
Rania, her name is the same as my wife's name that I love so much. But he had to die of depression, when we lost our second son.
" It's good to see you."
He and I said at the same time. Then we laughed together.
I'm glad this is the first meeting with Rania in my life right now. And this is earlier than my meeting with Rania from my previous life.
Different from my old life. I met Rania at a college basketball game, when we were in college.
*****
The school basketball friendly begins. As usual, Nino is the best among us. He can use his high body to block the throw of the opponent's ball when going into the ring. Nino also often gets a three point value for throwing the ball into the opponent's ring.
The cheers of the voices of our schoolmates, made us even more excited. I don't want to lose to Noni either. Several times I managed to score three points to throw into the opponent's ring. Every time I hold the ball, the audience will shout my name. And so do the other friends. Their name will be called when holding the ball in his hand, to encourage them to score points.
It didn't feel like the first half was over, and now my team is resting for a while as well as the opposing team. I looked towards Rania who was sitting in the middle of the opposing school student. Our eyes clashed with each other, and I saw him smiling and blushing in shame at me.
The friendly match between schools was won by our school, with a landslide win. We are delighted to welcome this victory.
When I was going home, across the street was Rania and her friends sitting at the bus terminal. Looks like Rania didn't bring a vehicle. So I went to him and brought him home together. Because my bike has passenger seats. The time is also very late afternoon, soon the sky will be dark.
Rania and I cycled to Rania's house, but it was a pretty far away house. Her house was different from her home when she dated me first.
" King thank you" he said with a sweet smile.
" All together. I'll go home first, yeah!" I returned with a smile and looked at her blushing face.
My heart is so happy, this feeling is different from how I used to feel. There was a sense of longing that was building up inside me when I was with him. My feelings for her now feel many times over.
" Hey, why did you just come home!" There was the sound of a man screaming with his hoarse voice.
" Basic brash kid, instead of making money, you're good at playing, huh!" his voice was very deafening.
I paused my intention to pedal the bike back. I saw Rania being scolded by a middle-aged man. In front of the entrance to the house. The man pointed at Rania's forehead until her head was pushed back. I feel like running to Rania's house right now. But the current me still has no right to interfere with Rania's matter.
I decided to stay here first to make sure that Rania was okay. I sat down by a bench in the park close to Rania's house. Here I can watch over Rania's house freely. Until nine o'clock I sat there. I just got home, after feeling like nothing was going to happen to Rania.
I didn't really know Rania's life before she married me. Even the middle-aged man I didn't know.
