Chandanas

Kiwi (5)

After the fight drama that happened a while ago, Mr. Arman allowed Kiran, Edy, to, and other futsal team members to leave the BK room because they assume that they are just victims of the actions of Rendi and his men.

Mr. Arman's decision was not initially welcomed by Rendi, he felt their teacher was acting unfairly because the main reason that caused this dispute to occur was Edy himself. He had felt unacceptable to beat Edy once again but could swiftly be stopped by some teachers who were in the room.

Rendi gnashed her jaw while pointing at Edy, "Liat lo! Looky!" he said full of threats.

Edy listened to Rendi's threats without interest, then walked away leaving the BK room along with other futsal team members.

Kiran looked at Edy who was already in a battered state. He did not understand why Rendi did all this. Kiran therefore tried to ask Edy what was the underlying reason for their fight just now, "Berrantem because what the hell were you?"

Edy turned to the left to spit. The inner wall of his mouth was torn so that he had to swallow fresh blood many times, "Basketball team is no race. Rendi did not submit a funding proposal but was rejected by the school. He said it was all because of the futsal boy who participated in this big tournament. He said we're the reason the basketball team can't run this year's race. What is clear I do not understand what the reason for the school reject their proposal, but mengelampiasin everything to us is the most stupid action I have ever seen," Edy looked at some friends alternately.

"When he feels responsible as a captain, he should persuade the school, try to prove their ability, or maybe find a sponsor. With our thud I believe I guarantee basketball exkul will be suspended again rich a few months ago," continued Edy poured his opinion related to the stupid attitude taken by Rendi.

According to Edy, Rendi's actions will not be able to solve anything but add new problems. He did not understand on what basis Rendi was appointed captain of the basketball team. Despite having extraordinary abilities, with all the stubborn, grumpy, and rash natures that Rendi has really not suitable to lead a team.

Kiran agreed with Edy. The man was always acting rashly, besides that Rendi also always looked full of problems and anger that seemed to cover her. But for Kiran, now the problem with Rendi has been solved. They have more important things to think about than discussing Rendi with all the emotional issues she has.

"OKAY. Now, with the condition of lo I think you will not be able to come to the field," Kiran slow her steps to walk to line Edy's fingers.

Hearing Kiran's words made Edy think. He may be able to play with others but of course it will not be beneficial for him and also for the team because he is not in top condition. In addition, he could have aggravated his own condition so that he would not be able to participate in the upcoming matches.

With careful consideration, Edy said, "Lo really. I can't go to the field in this situation. I think Damar can replace me. Later I will brief again on the field after I think what strategy is right for our opponent this time," although Edy is aware that this is a tough decision for him as well as for his members, he said, Edy did not want to make his friends discouraged let alone give up before fighting.

At least Edy should keep his friends excited. The hope of victory still lay wide before them.

---

Shortly after arriving at the GOR, futsal team members immediately flocked to the dressing room. Now it was time for them to listen to the strategy of the game that Edy had devised during their trip.

With a single breath, Edy gathers his friends in a circular sitting position where he himself is in the middle or at the center of the circle. Edy frowned as he moved his hand to open the lid of the ballpoint pen, trying to get everyone to see the little notebook where he compiled and drew their patterns of play this afternoon.

"Because our opponent is famous for his counterattack, I want Bayu, Damar, the same latang is behind. Each time someone rides one to help Kiran, two must be behind to guard the defense area. You play back to back, each child up the other down. So just continue not until the back area is empty. This also applies to substitutes who will enter later. Round one I want you to help Kiran nyerang out by still applying this scheme. If we are already superior at least 2 numbers deh, stay the same defense shooting distance I think is enough," Edy circulated the view, trying to make sure all members understand.

Kiran nodded, accepting the task she had to carry during the match.

"Yok tos first yok!" Bayu got up from his position, trying to make his other colleagues also rise to do tos so that their spirit back smoldering.

"Futsal Coconut Shoots......"

"Bantul seger mantle!" exclaim all team members simultaneously accompanied by an explosion of laughter and spirit.

Kiran smiled faintly then went to one of the lockers to put down her things and change clothes. When accidentally seeing her reflection in the glass, Kiran looked at her left cheek which now looked swollen and blue due to the hard blow that Rendi landed on her. In addition, the corner of his lips was also injured, only now there was no more blood coming out of the wound.

Although feeling annoyed and irritated, he felt he could understand Rendi's actions. Although there was no point at all, Kiran felt that what Rendi did was simply because the man wanted to protect the honor of the basketball team even though the way was very wrong. Kiran suspects that Rendi may be feeling frustrated and depressed so as to vent all her frustration on the futsal team.

Kiran sighed. If only he and Rendi were not in a very complicated situation, Kiran will probably be happy to help the man to deal with the problem of temperament and all the problems of his life which, instead of being solved well, he said, instead, he continued to be angry with unnecessary actions that he always did.

"Ran, come!" Kiran regained consciousness from the daydream when she felt her arm being pulled by one of her team members.

Without saying much Kiran followed her colleague from behind to get into the line and walk proudly towards the match field.

Moments after the members lined up at the very front brought themselves up, cheers echoed boisterously throughout the stadium. All the spectators shouted all sorts of words excitedly which at once made Kiran feel a little nauseous for a moment from being nervous to see this many people.

From a distance, Kiran accidentally saw a large banner that read 'Kiran Ganteng, You Surely Can!!!'. Although it felt strange to see it, but without realizing Kiran's cheeks hinted red aware of so many people who supported and liked her selflessly, even though she never did anything for those people, she said, they volunteered their time and energy to support Kiran who was not their friend or even family.

Within minutes of entering the field, the match began.

Kiran, who received the mandate to conduct an onslaught to the opponent's defense during the first half, did well. He runs, dodges, shoots, and dribbles with confidence.

"Gooooooooollllllll!" the whole stadium is rumbling. Everyone cheered happily, leaving the opposing team's supporters speechless as they stared dejectedly at the field.

Kiran ran towards Bayu then hugged him at a glance as an expression of immeasurable pleasure. Now they need 1 more goal to apply the defensive pattern and keep the lead until the end of the game.

The match continues. The referee blows the whistle to do the kick off. This time the opposing team began to aggressively attack so that Kiran had to repeatedly go down to the back and help the defense. The same pattern of play continued so that Kiran realized that the opponent's defense area was empty because almost all the opposing players filled the area of his team.

Kiran glanced at Damar who was trying to block one of the opposing players who was about to shoot.

Kiran observed Damar, waiting for the exact timing until she shouted, "Damar!"

With a swift Damar kicked the ball that he managed to get far ahead. Kiran ran with all her might to chase the ball. At the same time, the opposing team's goalkeeper, who realizes that his defensive area is empty, is seen running forward to prevent Kiran from getting the ball.

Kiran who realized this also added speed then kicked the ball into the opponent's goal very hard shortly before the Goalkeeper Opponent reached the ball.

Everyone was silent when the ball hit the post but slowly rolled into the goal.

"Goooolll gooooolll!" shouted the match commentator very strongly.

The stadium is back. Supporters of Tunas Kelapa High School cheer happily watching the dramatic action that has just been presented before them. Not only on the bench, happiness is also felt by the players who are on the field. It was evident from how Kiran's teammates were running towards her to give her a hug of happiness. Their faces sparkled with joy. Although one round was still waiting to be completed, but at least their first target had been reached.

The referee blew the whistle, a sign the first half game was over. All players walk to the sidelines to join their respective match officials. Edy hugs Kiran happily then reassembles his friends to give an advanced briefing.

"OKAY. Now I pull Kiran with Damar out, Rudi in. We play defensively but with Rudi running cepet we can forsir counter-attack as well. The point is I want you guys to keep behind but when there is a chance, Rudi and Bayu immediately go up for a counterattack. Later if the opponent there enter the goal and minimize the lag, about 10 minutes before the game is finished, Kiran enter again. How's it?" Edy looked at his comrades who were mostly busy wiping sweat with chest up and down.

"Agreed," Kiran said as she sipped water from inside her drinking bottle once more.

In line with Kiran, all the other team members agreed with Edy's planned tactics. They all know very well that Edy is a good leader and quick in thinking. So without them knowing, whatever came out of Edy's mouth felt like an order without the need for them to deny it.

Not so natural after, the second half begins. Their game scheme changed but remained solid. The opposing team managed to score one goal behind the rapist but Rudi managed to break into the opponent's goal so that their score was back 2 points. This position lasted until the second half ended so that the Coconut Tunas High School won the match with a score of 3 for Coconut Shoots and 1 for opponents.

Although the initial plan said they would compete 2 times for today, in fact it was canceled because the opponent who will face them in the afternoon was rumored to resign.

Kiran packed all his belongings and then said goodbye to all his teammates by praising each other's games.

After saying goodbye and talking for a while, Kiran walked out of the dressing room. He pulls out his phone from his bag, intending to contact Roka who says he wants to stay at his house.

Not yet had he found Roka's phone contact, Kiran's steps stopped when she saw a beautiful girl with long black hair who was scattered standing in front of the locker room door while looking down at her shoes.

Kiran pocketed her phone and walked up to the girl with a smile, "Hi" she said.

The girl looked up and smiled, "Hi," she replied in a very soft voice.

The sweet smile that had been splattered on Chandana's lips suddenly vanished when she saw the bruise on Kiran's face. His expression turned sad and worried then hesitantly he moved his hand towards the handsome face. With a little fear, gently caressed the bruise that wrapped the male face before him, "Sick?"

Kiran cupped Chandana's fingers stroking her cheeks and then rubbed her fingers gently, "Sick."

Chandana looked at Kiran fixedly and vice versa. For a few minutes they were in that position, channeling feelings through the touch of Chandana's hand caressing Kiran's face while Kiran held Chandana's fingers against her cheeks while rubbing them.

At every touch that is exchanged, both feel comfortable. Feel like getting closer, feel like having more of each other. Every time Kiran felt her skin coming into contact with Chandana, a strange gelenyar swept into her. Like an electric shock that miraculously warms the heart and mind.

Kiran lowered Chandana's hand from her face then looked at the soft and delicate palm as she stroked and played it, "You want to play?" Satisfied playing Chandana's fingers, Kiran looked up to stare at the girl. He wants to take Chandana to a place that Kiran believes the girl will like.

Chandana takes it slow, asserting Kiran's invitation without questioning where the man will take her.

With a big smile, Kiran took Chandana's hand. Sometimes he asks about how and what Chandana did at school this morning.

At that time, the days of love and hope will begin soon. Happiness will surround both of them even though at the same time black shadows and misery also accompany them.
