Constellations of Love

Chapters 11. Stories of the past

On a clear day, the sun began to shine Sunday morning at half-seven, the car has been parked next to the gate of the house Laras.

As soon as Pandu was about to go down, Laras welcomed him and invited him to leave immediately. Wearing a long grey t-shirt and matching training, white sneakers. Hair on the spool upwards. Not to forget the white hat perched on the girl's head. A small black backpack accompanied him.

" Sir, we go first....!" he shouted while closing the gate.

"Fear late, yeah. Didn't the training start at half-eight?"

" Yes, but just now Kang Jamil called to stop by the stall to buy two cans of mineral water. He forgot to take it and has now arrived in the field."

Pandu muttered, "There's nothing..."

The man drove the car into the ball field.

" Has the breakfast?"

" Already with a bowl of instant noodles."

" I brought you a bottle of electrolyte-boosting drink. Make more energy, "while driving Pandu give the blue bottle to the barrel.

He accidentally put the bottle near the dashboard.

"Thank you, mas Pandu."

"Please stop in front of that store," Laras pointed to a small minimarket that had just opened.

Barrel and Pandu went down to buy two cans of mineral water. Pandu also adds groceries with two sachets of blue and red lozenges. He paid all the bills. Baras thanked me again.

In less than twenty minutes, they reached the parking lot. Conditions were a little muddy, after the rain yesterday afternoon.

It seems almost all children start doing warm-up exercises. Spectators other than the parents of the footballers, began to arrive. It looks like today will be more crowded because of holidays. So a lot of recreation to the ball field. Understand that in a fairly remote area like here, there must be rarely entertainment like in the city.

Pandu helps by carrying two cans of mineral water to the edge of the field near the goalpost.

At half-eight, the master coach blew the whistle several times. Cue for the children to gather all.

"I joined them first huh. Mas Pandu here and you guys keep my bags and have kids. Thanks, yes ...."

"okay!" Pandu half yelled, because Laras was running to the middle of the field.

The man in a pair of creamy brown jeans and a young orannye shirt sat cross-legged.

Pandu looked around him. Many young families brought their baby. They play on the sidelines. He also brought his small bicycle. Some toddlers learn to stand and walk.

The food and toys started coming. Balloons of various shapes decorated cartoon stars. Various children's toys. Football, doll, car-mobile. Even ice cream sellers with their distinctive sounds have been on standby as well.

New guides realize how the square, ball field or park is very useful for green open spaces. Places to interact with people of different ages. Socializing rides. There are also benefits to both physical and mental health.

Laras looks so eager to train children.

After running around the field, technical training began. Free kicks and penalties.

The empathetic agile style is shown by Laras in training children. Give two thumbs up if the child manages to roll the ball. Ber - high five, to pat the arms or backs of the child soccer players.

From a distance Pandu took pictures with his cell phone camera, Laras activities and children.

Some of his shots, zoomed in by Pandu. The barrel still looks sweet. Stand up, spread out your hands, give a cue, blow a whistle. Clap your hands to make a toss move.

Guide your own smile. The charm of Laras increasingly stuck in his heart.

" That's the Baras. The style is still the same."

Suddenly Pandu heard someone mention the name Laras. The man looked to the right side. There was a young family carrying a little princess holding a plastic mat not far from Pandu. About three meters.

" Yes, mas. You tomboy," said the woman, laughing.

Looks like a couple, Inner Pandu.

" Try Dito see Laras now. Niesel mutusin the girl."

" Ihhh, so right did they go out?"

"Looks, right. Why would Laras want to, Aldito, playboy in our school first."

"Dito is handsome, many have a crush."

" You have a crush on him too?"

" Okay.mas is still jealous. That was. The important thing is that I choose you, ha ha ha..."

Pandu glanced at them. The husband poked the tip of the wife's nose. Cordial. They appear to kiss the princess who seems not even a year old, alternately.

Pandu smiled inwardly, "Harmonious family."

"Eh, by the way, if Dito and Laras were to be dating, Laras would be the mother of Bhayangkari by now. Ha, ha, huh....."

Guide, record their conversation. So Laras' first love was Dito, um Aldito. Now he's a cop.

From their story, it means Laras was once heartbroken. Is that Dito, Laras's most beautiful former?

Various questions are now raging in the mind of Pandu. The story of Laras' past coincidentally Pandu finds out in an unexpected way. Eavesdropping on people's conversations.

Without Pandu noticing, Laras walked towards him accompanied by the children. And Kang Jamil too.

" Mas Pandu daydreaming. Please help distribute drinks," cried Laras.

" Um, yes, yes."

The guide tore off the cardboard of mineral water and immediately took out a few glasses to hand over to the children draping around it. He also shared sweets. The kids all sat down to rest.

The barrel takes one, sticks a straw and immediately drains the contents of the plastic glass. Kang Jamil did the same.

The man asked the children to make a circle while sitting. He took his place in the middle. Direction and motivation are given to the students.

" Hey, Barrel!"

Hearing his name called Laras turned to the direction of the voice.

"Hey ...Sri lank? An eco?"

" It turns out you're here."

" Yes, yesterday we just returned home."

" Slope, you're more beautiful."

" Oh, thank you."

" Sri is also more beautiful."

" The ones that are getting fatter, understandably are now mothers, ha ha,ha...."

" But it's sexier, right?" laras.

Their laughter broke together.

"So this is your daughter. Cute and pretty."

" You're reportedly a kind of kindergarten teacher here?"

" Yes .."

" Sw, is there a boyfriend now, Ras? It must have been, yes."

" Husssh..not yet."

" Don't be preoccupied with being single. Let's move your dong, Race."

"Not long to be hurt with Dito. Don't let your heart break to pieces again.

"Yes, yeah...."

"Ssssttt.remember Laras, do not keep the memory of your first kiss. Ha ha ha," said the woman, Laras' friend.

" Hush.hssst."

Laras made a motion to close his mouth and pinch his friend's waist earlier.

The palanquin who was still hearing their conversation, became choked. Unconcerned he mendehem in heart.

Baras and his two friends laughed again. The girl said goodbye because she had to join the children immediately.

The two friends also wanted to go home because the sun was starting to heat up. Their little daughter was heard crying, because it was quite a hot day.

Pandu almost heard all their conversations. The recording was stored in his mind.

Limabelas minutes later the second session began. Real ball game. Team green vest and no vest.

Kang Jamil acted as the referee. The barrel sits beside Pandu. There were four children as substitutes.

The cheers of the crowd were heard as the tension of the match increased. One goal was scored. Laras clapped his hands with four of his students. Pandu. Applause. Laras asked him five. Of course Pandu is happy. Tos was also performed on four other children.

The barrel stands when a child asks to be replaced. The girl pointed at one child who was seen bongsoring. Speaking for a moment then patted the boy on the back before he entered the field.

Old players went off the field and immediately took a drink. Sit down and stretch out his legs. The barrel chooses to follow the direction of the ball rolling from the edge of the field. If the ball goes out, the girl will pick it up and hand it back to the players.

A goal was almost scored. Wrinkles on the face of the goal. But it works on the goalie block. The striker looked down lethargic.

" Come..... Bian keep the spirit !"

Laras shouted and the boy turned to him. Laras made a gesture by clenching his right hand.

Pandu watched carefully. Barrels are like professional trainers. Quietly all of it added value plus Baras in his heart.

Until almost ten o'clock. Long pluit beeping. The game ended with a score of one against blank.

The field began to look quiet, because the weather began to blister. The children asked Kang Jamil to help clean up the garbage around the field. Then collect in the tub outside the field.

After performing the same ritual at the end of the exercise, such as evaluation and praying together, the child immediately returns home.

At the end of the meeting, Kang Jamil thanked Dr. Pandu. He said he went home first because he had to take his father to buy some equipment to make a catfish pond behind his house.

Baras walk with Pandu to the parking area. The girl took a small towel from inside the backpack and washed off the sweat on her face and neck.

Arriving in the car, Pandu turns on the air conditioner.

Laras sat leaning his body on the chair next to Pandu. He then drank the electrolyte water, giving Pandu this morning.

His eyes began to close. Looks like fatigue, until the car runs have not installed seatbeltnya. The sound of an alarm was heard when the car started to run, but Laras was still closed.

The stretcher stops the car on the side before the turn to the highway. The atmosphere of the road is quite quiet. He looked towards the girl beside him.

The man slowly wanted to install the seatbelt Laras. Because of that movement, making Pandu very close to the face of Laras. Although it was obviously very tired and her face was slightly reddened by the heat, but Laras still looked sweet.

Debaran in the chest Pandu can not be muted. He was really about to kiss Laras face.

Oops. He was surprised as well as Pandu.

" I'm sorry, sorry.so I just wanted to pair your seatbelt."

" Hmm, um......"

The barrel improves his sitting position to become more upright. Then pull the seatbelt and install it.

Drive a little misbehaved. He continued driving.

The mood is silent.

Pandu glanced towards Laras. The girl looked ahead. Be prominent.

" Did he remember that Dito ? Or.....?Lest Baras know that I tried to kiss him, "inner Pandu.

The man became agitated.

While Laras whispered in his heart, "Has Pandu just tried to kiss me?"
