A Couple of Hearts

Match

“Bara, your opponent in the final round is a representative from Japan. You can still use the tactics we have discussed.” Sensei.

“Good Sensei. I'm sure I'll win.” Steady coals.

“Good spirit,” said Sensei patting both shoulders Bara gives spirit.

Bara has arrived at this point, he is determined to win. Although the previous opponent was quite difficult, but he could not give up and had to bring the gold medal to his home country. Suddenly he immediately remembered Amora's crying face staring at his face.

“Kakak will be home quickly.” Bara muttered burning his fighting spirit. And the sound of the referee's whistle sounds signifies the fight in this final round is about to begin. Many delegates from Indonesia who had previously fallen during the match, supported Bara with great fanfare.

The boisterous sounds of the spectators began to calm down as the match began. Bara and the opponent give OSH greetings before the match. The whistle was blown and the fight began. All the spectators are silent.

The first technique that Bara does is to give distance to the opponent. Then he looked at his opponent's eyes sharply, watching his movements. What steps will he take for the first time.

Bara continued to give distance and the opponent turned out to do the same. If this continues the match will take a long time. For that one must start the first bluff.

Bara also immediately took the first step of the attack. The opponent who knew it immediately fended off Bara's attack and was about to make a fatal attack on Bara's body. Lucky Bara can immediately dodge with reflexes.

Bara took a safe distance first so that the opponent did not directly attack him. He knew a technique he was very familiar with. It seems like the opponent this time is a bit troublesome. From earlier his opponent was only waiting for one move from Bara then his target was to attack the vital area. This time the opponent is very dangerous for Bara.

Sensei who saw Bara difficulty, immediately gave the code to Bara to change his tactics. Because the tactic will no longer work for his current opponent. Bara nodded slowly looking at the code Sensei gave him. He is trying to do another tactic.

Bara tries to approach slowly towards the opponent to measure from what distance the opponent can be immediately tempted to attack him. This is a technique to lure the opponent to know the plan used by the opponent.

And it turns out that from a distance of one meter Bara immediately got an attack to pull him to fall down. But of course Bara was able to avoid the attack. This indirectly makes Bara know how many meters of safe distance.

The opponent began to get caught off guard with neat Bara tactics. He tried to make a forward attack to instantly knock out his opponent. Bara who was surprised by the movement did not have time to avoid and was unable to fend it off. Bara's ribs suffered a fatal attack.

“Arg!” Bara grimaced feeling his ribs that were exposed to the opponent's moves. He kept holding onto her trying to endure the pain she was suffering from. The audience was boisterous and Bara's supporters were grimacing to see Bara hit by the attack. Sensei looked at Bara with a worried face. That very fatal point of attack could have made it difficult for Bara to continue the match.

“Are you still able to continue the game?” (Are you still able to continue the match?) asked the referee when he saw Bara grimacing in pain.

“Yes,” said Bara never cebersit word give up in his life. He has to keep going no matter what.

The whistle again sounded a sign the match would continue after the fatal wound that Bara received. Bara was quite difficult to move because of the injury. But he tried to forget the pain he felt and stay focused on the opponent.

This time the sudden attack that Bara received was immediately repelled. The opponent who knew that Bara could fend him off immediately launched his second attack to hit Bara's wounded body. A very sneaky way indeed. But Bara who expected to be attacked like that immediately dodged and the opportunity appeared.

Not much thought, when there is a gap of opponents who are careless, Bara immediately dropped it with his technique, locking the body and movement. One fatal attack will soon Bara launch right on his ribs, avenging the attack he has received.

But before Bara elbowed him, his conscience instantly brought him to a halt. He did not paralyze the opponent with one deadly attack, but only caused him temporary pain. Disabling but not deadly techniques.

Sensei who saw it is not strange because Bara is not a person who likes revenge. He was very proud of his student's character. Because true victory does not have to make the opponent paralyzed and down. But with the recognition that the winner is great is enough.

“Why don't you attack me? (Why didn't you attack me?)” tanyakanya.

“Because I never considered the opponent is my enemy. (Because I never considered the opponent my enemy.)” firmly Bara and immediately gave the last attack to his opponent.

A three-times pat on the floor indicates that the opponent is giving up. The opposing team salutes the ethics of Bara, and prefers to appreciate it. Because Bara could have directly paralyzed him with one attack on his shoulder that could hit vital areas even the heart area though.

Unlike most people in the match, he could have done the deadly thing earlier and make the lives of opponents drift. But this principle does not apply to the. He did not want to tarnish the arena with bloodshed that only tarnished the name of karate itself. I don't want that to happen.

“Why did you choose to give up? (Why did you choose to give up?)” whisper Bara to the opponent.

“Because I value ethics and I respect you. (Because I respect ethics and I respect you.)” he replied with a sharp look at his interlocutor.

Upon hearing his reply, Bara reached out her hand helping the opponent to stand up. His opponent received a helping hand from Bara and stood up grimacing in pain because of the attack he received. The referee finally blew his whistle a sign that the match was over and won by Bara as the representative of Indonesia.

Of course, it was immediately welcomed by the audience and supporters of Bara. Finally, there is now a representative from Indonesia who first won an international karate match. Bara was very moved to hear the happy boisterous that supported him. The gold medal was tied to his neck. A pride that words cannot express.

“Amora, wait. Brother will see you soon.” He murmured in his heart. Suddenly flashed the face of Amora's smile in her mind. A very sweet and beautiful smile. His misses are unstoppable anymore. He was finally able to award the gold medal as promised.
