Dollar Girl

Chapter 17 Between Friends and Boyfriends

"Aaarhhh.... Where is he?" erang Ratna's.

For almost an hour he was with Amus and Jimy waiting to get bored, but Ardi was not seen yet.

"Oi." cried Ardi who finally came too.

Beside her a girl who was the same age as them walked in Ardi's footsteps, the look of the girl was embarrassed when all eyes were on her.

"Sorry, you waited a long time, said Ardi.

"If you don't come in five minutes I'll kill you" Ratna said.

"Sorry, sorry.introduce this Yuni" he said.

"Yun, they've been my friends since I was a child, Ratna, Amus and Jimy"

"Hello" said Yuni greeting them one by one.

"Let's go! we are too late" said Amus leading the way.

The men walk first while the girl behind follows them, along the way, Ratna and Yuni had a chance to talk about ordinary things such as where they came from and the school where they reached the futsal field.

Team Amus apparently have been waiting for their arrival since earlier, the opposing team also seems to have prepared across the field.

But unexpectedly, from the many people there Ratna's eyes quickly recognized someone who stood on the opposing team.

"What did you see?" asked Amus who was aware at Ratna's long gaze.

"You... want to fight it?" appoint Ratna.

Amus's eyes turned to follow the index finger, just as Ratna lowered her finger the person in question was staring at him. They stared long enough for the man to run up to them.

"Jay? you're the opposing team?" asked Jimy who was staring in shock.

"Actually I'm replacing my friend who can't play, so... What I'm going to face are you guys? it's also funny that we can meet in a game like this" he said.

"Yes, but good too, that way I will not hesitate" said Amus.

"Just calm down, I won't hesitate, especially when my boyfriend is here to support me. I can't possibly make a mistake" he replied as he looked at Ratna.

"Unfortunately he came with us, so of course his support is also for us" said Ardi suddenly who made Ratna flabbergasted.

"Although she's coming with you guys, she's still my boyfriend, so she's gonna sit in my chair"

"Before being your girlfriend she was our responsibility, so she would still be sitting behind us" Ardi replied with an equally sharp gaze.

"Enough!" ratna surprised everyone.

Although only a small debate but Ratna is made uncomfortable about it, Ardi is a person who is quite selfish when it comes to him while Jaya wants to always be recognized by Ratna. If it continues it can be ascertained that the debate will continue jotos.

"I don't support anyone, either my friend's team or my girlfriend's team whoever wins I don't care. I only came here because I promised to buy fries" he said.

"All right, but you're sitting in my place, right?" ask Jaya.

"I told you he'd be here" Ardi replied.

"I'm not going to sit anywhere, I'm watching from there" Ratna pointed towards the entrance.

"You better get ready quickly and play sportily" he continued before leaving.

"Can you accompany Ratna there?" whispered Jimy to Yuni.

"I understand" Yuni said immediately following.

Jaya had a sharp glance at Ardi before he went to his team, of course Ardi also returned the gaze without fear.

While Ratna watched uncomfortably the match began by calling the two captains, after the deal was taken the round skin was started to play between the sturdy legs.

In the early minutes Amus the star of his team mastered the game even able to score a goal that makes the look of Jaya's face pouted.

"It looks like you are very close to Ardi" said Yuni who was not interested in the ball game at all.

Ratna lost her smile upon hearing the remark, there was clearly a dislike from the look on Yuni's face that Ratna had guessed as a form of jealousy.

"Jaya was their friend at school, and I got in touch with Jaya without asking their permission in advance for what Ardi didn't like about her" Ratna said.

"Why should Ardi not like it? are you guys just friends? after all, it's not your right to date anyone you like"

"I think he's more than worried" Yuni said, puzzling Ratna.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's see, I just feel like you're more than just a friend in her eyes"

"Don't be silly, he only thinks of me as a little sister because that's his attitude sometimes exaggerated"

"I hope it's like that too" Yuni said gloomily.

The match is still running, now scores three for the Amus team and two for the Jaya team. They still have a few minutes before the game ends, of course this opportunity will be used as well as possible by Jaya to score goals.

He was so protective of the ball with all his might, not letting anyone take it from him until the time he kicked and.

Aaarrrhhh

Priiiittt......

His kick missed just before the final match sign whistle rang, his sweat-soaked body sitting lethargic and disappointed in himself.

On the other hand Amus team cheered for the victory they achieved, smiles and laughter adorned the face of Ardi who was satisfied with his performance at that time.

"The match is over, let's go!" take Yuni to her boyfriend.

But Ratna remained silent, her gaze fixed on Jaya who was still sitting weakly. Yuni's jealousy towards her made her think that her arrival to that place was a problem.

He feels bad for Yuni who does not know him well, he also becomes unkind to Jaya because as Ratna's boyfriend is more inclined to his friends.

For this reason, he decided to take a stand so that no heart was hurt.

"Is that the face of your defeat?" ask Ratna.

Slowly Jaya lifted her face and looked at Ratna who was smiling at her.

"I didn't expect you to be so weak, in a losing match it's natural so you don't have to be sad like that" he said.

Slowly Jaya got up and stood right in front of Ratna, now her lips can smile even though only thin.

"Ah. your sweat is a lot" said Ratna while wiping Jaya's wet neck.

That attention made Jaya smile wider, her gaze full of pleasure to see Ratna. While at another place a pair of eyes looked at them with a sad look.

"Ah why do I have to see a scene like this?" muttered Jimy.

"Eat him look for a girlfriend, so that there are those who sweat you too" said Ardi who was enjoying the same treatment from Yuni.

"Here let me just wipe your sweat" said Amus.

"Damn it! you're just disgusting me" Jimy replied dodgingly.

"Friends" call Ratna over.

"Sorry, I can't come with you so next time you treat me"

"Where are you going?" ask Jimy.

"I want to go home"

"Why do you want to go home?" ask Amus.

"Why indeed? I can't go home?" reply Ratna.

"Hey Dollar I'm just asking, it's not like you usually miss a meal"

"I'll take her home!" said Jaya who just came after taking her bag.

"Oh so, I understand! then make sure he gets home safely" Ardi said.

"You take it easy" Jaya replied.

"Well, let's go home first, see you!" ratna waved her hand.

They returned the wave except for one person, his gaze still full of sadness to see the departure of Ratna with another man.
