BASEBALL WITH MY SON (18 AGAIN)
REHEARSAL DAY
"Adrian, where are you going in the morning blind gini?" asked Mr. Bimo who was sipping coffee at the dining table.
"Yes, kid. You're done then, loh, sit here first. Wait down the rice on the stomach, it'll be a stomachache." Santi's mother tried to advise her son.
Adrian had already finished his breakfast the next morning. And was busy inserting his favorite Catcher Glove in a used black backpack that still serves, not to forget also he put a black Baseball Hat that is still good even though it has been stored long enough in the warehouse.
"I have promised my son, As I have told you, Father and Mother made Aksara to be able to pass the national team selection. So, I can't be late and let her down." Adrian smiled, greeting both hands of his parents.
"You really don't want to be frank about your identity to Aksara or Adrian now?" ask Santi's mother.
Adrian shook his fist, "No need, buk. Please keep this a secret from them, because I also feel that I will return to the future after helping my son to become a great Pitcher. And later if there are many neighbors, say I'm a boarding boy at the house of the Father and Mother."
Adrian's words seem to feel confident that the purpose thrown into this period is to help his own son, as well as change the future that has been chaotic. Actually there are many things that must be improved by Adrian, he could not hide the fact that his previous decision made the national team suffered a humiliating defeat and made the formation of the Junior Team void implemented. Not to mention some sponsors who resigned from the Lions League to cause the club almost bankrupt.
Not only that, Adrian also caused economic problems for both parents in order to pay Adrian's considerable debt. It is undeniable, that at that time Adrian was always drunk and gambling here and there to release the feeling of loss from the Son.
The future has changed a little, but it is not the time for Adrian to be relaxed. He must ensure that all schedules that were once delayed must be successful. Where all that planning will start from Aksara, he will save his son's future first which will certainly have an impact on other things.
"Yes, if that's your decision. I just hope that my proposal can succeed, yes, I also do not have the heart to see my grandson feel sad because of the news of the failure of Aksara a few days ago." Miss Santi sounded very angry, as if she was angry.
"Just calm down, Buk. Yeah, well, then I'll go first." Adrian's holding his backpack.
"Adrians! The training does not need to be too hard, yes, I do not want his favorite grandson Mr injured because of you." Mr. Bimo closed his newspaper, he did look very fond of his grandson.
"Yes, Sir. It turns out that yes, Grandpa-grandpa is more affectionate with his grandson than his own son. Grandson is the highest throne in the family, "the lead Adrian who immediately ran when he was chased by Mr. Bimo who had risen from his chair.
"The boy is still acting like he used to, Buk. Just try our Adrian who now seems like it," said Mr. Bimo who was smiling when he saw the back of Adrian who had run away from Home.
And while Mr. Bimo and Buk Santi were busy spending time together in his modest home, Adrian finally arrived also in front of the School Gate after spending fifteen minutes traveling.
As explained earlier. The location of Mr. Bimo's house is not too far from his Aksara school. So, Adrian does not need to spend a lot of time and costs to go there. And it looks like Adrian accidentally put Aksara into the school to make it easier for his son to visit his grandparents' house.
And as before, Adrian climbed the school fence to get inside. He was very excited today and could not wait to help Aksara, as he had promised yesterday.
But apparently, Aksara has not yet arrived to school this morning and Adrian has no right to be angry about the delay Aksara. After all, no one told Adrian to come this early. So, he has no right to dispute or complain about the delay of the character. And inevitably, he had to wait patiently for the arrival of his son.
"Better, I just prepare the equipment instead of getting bored like this." Adrian walks straight to the baseball equipment building, he borrows some baseballs and Finger Gloves. This time, he did not borrow the Catcher Glove because he intended to wear his old gun. And instead, he borrowed protective gear for Catcher.
He also did not want the direction the ball that Aksara would throw would hit his body and cause injury, because today he will teach the Aksara various types of Pitch that should be mastered by a Pitcher.
Right after removing some equipment from the Building, he saw the figure of Aksara walking closer with a slightly bruised face. His appearance like a person who had just finished fighting and fighting was the only thing that Adrian had not liked all along.
"You've been fighting?" tanya Aksara spontaneous.
"Can we start training now?" ask back Aksara who seems to want to change the topic of conversation.
"Wait a minute, who did you fight with? You're still a student, you shouldn't fight and make your parents worry. So tell me the truth. Who's been asking you to fight?" adrian asked who had long since often seen his son come home from school with a bruised face. However, Aksara often chooses silence whenever Adrian forces him to speak honestly. And the closed attitude of his son is what ultimately makes a mild quarrel between the father-son.
"I understand your concerns, but we can just forget about it. If you still want to keep talking about it, I'll just go home." Aksara threatened Adrian, he really did not like to see other people interfere in his life.
"Alright, you're as stubborn as your father. We can just start training." Adrian gave up on interrogating his son, he did not want his curiosity to make the character uncomfortable and even canceled practicing today. Moreover, his character Aksara is very similar to himself, he is very well memorized how he was when young which is reflected clearly in the child.
