ALVIN Trying to Rise

Ballplay

... Happy Reading ...

......................

After the Ashar prayer, Alvin kept his promise, he walked along with the children to play ball together.

"Put on a change of clothes first, yeah. You guys play first," said Alvin bergitu they passed the field.

"Don't lie, Bang!" the children who surrounded Alvin.

Alvin continued his move towards the contract, to change clothes. After a while, Alvin was on the field. Alvin currently only uses T-shirts and training pants along the bottom of the knee.

His already formed body, due to martial exercises made him look fresh and dashing, because part of his hand muscles were visible.

"Yee, Bang Alvin, come!" exclaim the children, while prancing welcome the arrival of Alvin.

"Yuk, start. For the team first," Alvin ordered the children.

They all follow a random team split, by doing a hompimpa together. All the boys are looking forward to a team with Alvin, given that it will be very profitable for them.

However, Alvin was still only one person, so he could not choose either. Group divisions are taken based on the position of the hands in the hompimpa, between the prone hand and the supine hand.

"Hompimpa Alaium!" exclaiming them simultaneously while extending his hands in unison forward.

After getting the same team, they started the ball game. The more afternoons, the more people saw the match.

Although Alvin has a higher posture compared to other children. However, most of them did follow additional ball lessons from the coach, until the movement was so agile and able to make Alvin overwhelmed.

The children, even have often competed to represent their school or training ground. So, do not assume that a playful match will run easily. Alvin even had to take a sweat bath, although this was just midway through the early stages.

The match that seemed to run with balanced strength seemed to attract the audience enough, so that people who accidentally crossed also stopped on the edge of the field, to see the match this afternoon.

The cheers of the audience made the players even more excited. This is another happiness Alvin, living in this neighborhood. Cheerful and energetic children, as well as citizens who support each other.

At the end of the first half, the opposing team scored one goal. All of that certainly makes the members of the Alvin group feel pessimistic to win.

"Spirited, this is just a game, losing or winning is common. Losing or winning is not important. Most importantly, we've all tried our best. And more so, if we feel happy."

Alvin gave encouragement to the boys. For a while Alvin and his team members, rested on the sidelines. Fortunately, before starting the game Alvin had bought a dose of mineral water for the children who certainly needed to drink.

Moments later the ball game was finally over, with the score two for the Alvin team and one for the opposing team.

"What's the gift, Bang?" ask them to Alvin, gathered in front of Alvin while sitting on the sidelines.

It wasn't just the team that won, that charged Alvin the prize. However, the losing team also collect a prize to Alvin.

Alvin shook his head as he looked at the children's behavior, accompanied by a small ruckus from his mouth.

Alvin looked ahead, where the twilight sky had already given rise to its beautiful colors.

"Now it wants magrib, so the gift is postponed until ba'da salat isya. We'll eat Rohmat's meatballs, in front of the highway. How's it?" alvin said, giving an announcement that made the children cheer happily.

"Yee! Transacted meatballs with Bang Alvin!" yell at those kids.

Towards the magrib they all dispersed, as did the impromptu spectators who had started to leave from there since the match was over.

No one suspects, considering it is common for people to take photos to simply capture the moment that is being passed, or maybe something they like.

In accordance with the schedule, after the prayer isya Alvin took the children to the meatball stall not far from the alley to the rented. The children, Alvin's neighbors, began ordering meatballs for themselves.

The arrival of Alvin and the small children's team immediately made the small meatball shop look crowded.

Jani sits pensively on the balcony of the apartment where she lives with Anji. For several months he has been living there under strict guard by his twin brother. The night wind felt cold to the bone, Jani tightened the jacket he was wearing.

His cell phone was heavily guarded by his two brothers, they did not want to until he contacted Alvin. Since that night, he never knew how Alvin was doing.

From that moment on, not a single day had he passed without thinking about the man he loved. I want to call and ask how he is doing. However, all access to contact Alvin was closed by his brother and twin.

"Why are you sitting here all these nights? How sick will it hurt?" anji's grumble just came.

Jani turned to look at his twin brother, he smiled thinly and then looked back to the front.

"I'm bored" he lamented.

"So I've invited you to the super market, why don't you, hem?" anji asked as he walked over to the woman.

Jani did not reply, he simply took a deep breath then exhaled violently.

"Let's go in, I've bought you your order," Anji continued.

Jani turned around, then walked first to go inside, unwilling to answer the words of her twin sister. Anji breathed a rough breath, shaking her head at Jani's drastically changed attitude after the two of them moved to the country.

"Have you taken your medicine?" ask Anji again.

"Heem." Jani just muttered.

The two of them sat on the sofa, Anji picked up his shopping bag, then took some stuff from there.

Various healthy snacks and favorite fruits Jani also appear to be removed.

Instead of being happy, Jani even exhaled a rough breath. He was tired of eating such healthy food. He misses eating alone with Alvin, or snacks on the side of the road.

The times together with ordinary people like Alvin, became the happiest life for Jani. You can take the bus, or borrow Mang Lukman's bike. Sitting alone in the park while doing chores, or watching children play ball.

It all makes Jani feel more alive. Every activity with Alvin, making good memories that always give energy to him. However, now that everything is only a memory, his two brothers no longer allow him to be friends with the man.

The Papa who has been supporting her relationship and Alvin, now even supports her two brothers. It turns out that they've been watching him, figuring out how Alvin treats him when he's both.

Knowing that Alvin continues to hang on to Jani's feelings, making his brother and Papa think that Alvin only wants to use him and play with Jani's feelings, until behind Jani, they plan to keep Jani away from Alvin. One way to do that is by telling Jani to continue studying abroad.

The incident that night that made them misunderstand and thought Alvin who invited Jani to leave until midnight, made his brother and Papa Jani angry. As hard as Jani tried to explain what happened between him and Alvin, it was like the wind then, because they thought that Jani was blinded by his love for Alvin, he said, until willingly continue to defend Alvin, even though Alvin is actually guilty.
