DORM WITHOUT CONTAINER

CHAPTER 76: THE PROBLEM IS NOT FINISHED

"Brach! Jhon! Made up! Toni! Nugroho's! Dylan! And the others! Rest up!" exclaimed Mr. Ridwan on the court, had the members of the basketball team elected as representatives in the Se-Lampung tournament. Yes, they managed to become one of the thirty children chosen to represent the school. Of course with the happy news, they became very excited in training. They just had a round-trip match. However, with their flagship team, the White Team consisting of Ilham and his friends. Along with Dilan as a backup because of his ability is so convincing while Sam entered the Eagle Super Team with Vishnu as his captain.

"Hey, we'll get together, right?" nugroho asked after sipping his mineral water. 

"Yes, of course if everything is smooth" said Jhon. He turned to Ilham who was busy cleaning the flooded sweat on his face. "Hey, Ham, after we get home, we want to hang out in my dorm room. There's something we need to talk about. You can come, right?" Jhon continued to ask.

Inspiration is silent to hear it. He put his towel back into the bag and looked at his friends. "Sorry, guys. This afternoon I was in a hurry. There's important business." The reply.

"It feels like you've been in a hurry lately, Ilham Alfarizi. What's the matter with you?" ask Made wonder. "Are you in trouble? Tell us." Further.

"Yes. Even in the game you're weird. What's the matter, actually?" tanya Toni asked.

Inspiration just smiled hearing their questions. He shook his head, then moved straight out of his chair. He goes to the field and drills dribbling the ball alone. Sometimes he throws his ball into the ring. Made, Toni, Nugroho and Jhon shook their heads at the behavior of their best friend. 

Suddenly, Dilan made a sound. "You see for yourself, don't you? He doesn't even want to hang out with you anymore. Do you still want to avoid that Inspiration does not care for you?" Dilan.

No one spoke of Dilan. They try to throw away their no-no minds and get back busy with their respective affairs before their break is over. Dilan only snorted at their response and a mysterious smile walked past them.

As is his habit lately, Ilham immediately quickly left the field after training was over. Made, Toni, Nugroho and Jhon who had planned to invite Ilham once again were immediately destroyed when the man ran away from the field without saying goodbye to them. They could only stare at the back of the advancing Inspiration with mixed feelings. They do not understand they should be sad, concerned or even angry at their basketball captain. The inspiration they used to know as an innocent and passionate child on their basketball team actually tends to be closed and shy away from them.

"Hey, why are you guys staying there? It's already afternoon. You don't want to go home?" asked Mr. Ridwan who was ready to leave the field disperse their daydreams.

"Sorry, Sir. We'll be home soon." Nugroho raised his voice.

"Dilan, you should go home too. Rest so that you can maintain your stamina and concentration in basketball" said Mr. Ridwan again.

"Good, Sir!" dilan said while nodding. Then, he walked towards Made, Toni, Nugroho and Jhon. "Come guys, let's just go home. You don't have to worry about your basketball captain." Dilan.

"It turns out that elo came too" said Dilan when he reached his intended destination, the second floor. He smiled sinisterly when he found a man sitting on the ground looking up at the sky while waiting for him.

The man looked over and immediately stood up. He smiled sweetly at Dilan.

"OK, just get on with it. I don't want to linger close to Elo. Which you should know. I don't like you being chosen to represent the school. That elo ability doesn't deserve to be in a big tournament!" dilan said while pointing at the man. His face was emitting a deep irritation.

"Why?" ask the man plain.

"Ah, you don't need to know! For sure from now on do not expect me to want to work with elo, Ilham. I'll make sure no one will support you after this! Elo it just brings trouble for my family, you know!" dilan said sebal. Then, he immediately left the man there alone. 

The man who was none other than Ilham only frowned hearing Dilan's words. Didn't understand the point. He had only known Dilan when he had just entered this school. However, he said it as if Inspiration had ever disappointed him. What does it mean that he has brought trouble to his family? Who did he mean?

***

The problem is not finished for Inspiration. In addition to his family's problems, his friends are getting away. They almost never asked him to talk. Even Made, who was sitting next to him every day, also locked his mouth even though he talked to him. I don't know what else happened to them that made their friendship tenuous like this. In fact, soon the Se-Lampung tournament will arrive.

"Huh..." Inspiration sighed when the break came. Unlike the previous days, he only ate alone in class. No one took her to the cafeteria together. The food he brought from the dormitory kitchen became tasteless in their absence. But, they also do not speak anything if Ilham asks why they became closed to him.

Many times Ilham lay up on the field, trying to score for himself. However, his efforts did not succeed until half his clothes were wet with sweat. He caught his mental ball and immediately bounced it loud haphazardly. Then, he walked towards the bench on the sidelines to rest. He lowered his head, letting him catch his breath first.

The field was quiet without its four friends. For a week they have avoided Inspiration. Even during basketball excursion Ilham also just sat leaning alone on the sidelines when there are a few minutes of rest. His friends even played with Dilan and the other basketball members' children. Ah, let alone at rest, during practice matches even his friends never give the ball. Inspiration can only hold the ball when the ball is accidentally released towards him. Inspiration really does not understand what the reason is behind their hatred. In fact, this field used to be the playground of the five of them. 

Ilham raised his head again, staring at his basketball that had rolled away from where it had bounced the ball earlier. Make the field completely empty. Ilham sighed and moved from his seat to pick up his basketball. After that, he looked back at the field. It was a moment to imagine his friends were there, calling him to come back to the field and play with them. But, no...! That's not possible.

In reality, they were now silent if they saw him.
