DORM WITHOUT CONTAINER

CHAPTER 81: ALL IS FINALLY CLEAR

Nugroho really did not expect it turned out that everything was rooted in Fauzi Rizal. Enemy friends. And also the person who had once made Ilham injured during the last game. He did not expect that the new child in his class was related to blood with Fauzi Rizal. It is fitting that its nature is similar. If only he could think clearly about this, his friendship with Inspiration would definitely not crack!

Nugroho immediately hid as soon as he heard the sound of footsteps from inside. He locked his mouth and made sure he didn't make a sound until they were both gone. After he confirmed that he was safe to come out then he moved from his hiding place, quickly took his watch that was left behind and immediately left the Sports Arena.

While walking quickly, Nugroho immediately arrived at his dorm room and without much immediate comment invited his friends. "Tons! Elo and Made hurry us to the dormitory of Inspiration! Now!"

Without waiting for the answers of his friends, he immediately ran to his best friend's house as fast as possible followed by Toni and Made with a state of confusion with all the questions that currently have not found the answer.

***

Nugroho set his breath as soon as he arrived in front of the dormitory where Ilham was. Fortunately Toni and Made have also arrived just behind Nugroho. Nugroho immediately approached Toni and Made while waiting for the door of Ilham's dorm room to open with a breath that was still burning, he said to the two of them.

"I'm sorry to make you wonder about the sudden act." Nugroho.

Toni and Made shook their heads at Nugroho's behavior. 

"Why is that elo? Tell us to come with us to see Ilham? What was? Did something happen when you came back to the Sports Hall?" ask Toni curiously.

"Sorry, Ton, De. There's something important we need to talk about together. With Jhon and Ilham as well. Because it looks like I already know how our friendship problem can become like this" Nugroho said. "But, before I'm really sure, I need our two best friends' help. Okay?"

"Ah, it's up to the elo" Made said as he clinched Nugroho's head. Then, he knocked on the door of the room of Inspiration. It looks like it won't be over quickly if Nugroho explains it.

It didn't take long to wait for Ilham to open the door to his room. Some time after Made knocked on the door, the trunk of his nose Ilham had already appeared from behind the room door. He looked surprised to see Nugroho, Toni and Made in front of the door of his dorm room. To his surprise, his mouth could barely move.

Nugroho smiled at Ilham's reaction. He was not surprised if Ilham became awkward to see him and his two friends. They haven't communicated for a long time. "Ham, are you busy? We want to talk to Elo. If... Elo don't mind." Nugroho.

"Oh" said Ilham instantly. "Can."

Ilham let Nugroho, Toni and Made into the room and followed him. Not only Ilham who was surprised by the arrival of unexpected guests, Toni, Nugroho and Made also got a surprise when he saw Jhon who was in the dorm room Ilham was sitting on the bed Ilham. As soon as he saw the three of them in front of Ilham's room, Jhon immediately looked at them with a flat face. The regret was still contained in the look on his face.

"Just enter" said Ilham trying to melt the atmosphere. He pulled Nugroho's arm inside. Followed by his signal for Toni and Made to also come in. 

The five of them sat in a circle on the carpet. Ilham and Jhon looked silently at their three companions who suddenly appeared. The one being stared at also seemed to do the same thing so it was as if a face-to-face contest was taking place. Only Nugroho was busy playing both hands, still getting ready to talk. Sometimes one of them also lowered their head because they did not know what to say. The atmosphere in Ilham's room was currently completely silent, gloomy without a sound.

Nugroho sighed after tired of locking his mouth. "Before, I'm sorry if my arrival, Toni and Made bother you guys. It's completely out of plan. I have something to tell you both, Ham, Jhon." Nugroho.

Ilham raised his eyebrows next door, asking for an explanation.

"Ham, you don't know yet, since Dilan entered our class and basketball exkul, he always cornered elo in front of us. In fact, not infrequently he said that elo is only ambitious for himself. Not for us" Nugroho said. "And now I know why!"

Jhon who was not interested immediately raised his eyes to hear Nugroho's words. He moved his sitting position. "What's? Elo seriously?"

Nugroho. "Maybe no one knows about this. But luckily I was back at the Sports Arena because my watch gave me the gift of staying there. I saw Dilan talking to someone. We're fooled, guys. We are only instigated by the new boy, so that we stay away from Inspiration!" Nugroho explained.

"What?" said Made frowning his forehead. "What's he doing that for?"

"He wants revenge on us." Answer Nugroho.

"Rudge?" now Toni is speaking. "Since when has he been vengeful to us? What are we wrong with the new boy? Just know how many months!" Toni.

Nugroho. "Not Dilan, Ton. Not the vengeful Dilan."

"Then?" Toni.

"Dilan's cousin is a grudge against us" Nugroho said. "You will not expect. I was shocked to even know this. Dilan's Fauzi's cousin, guys. Fauzi Rizal's."

"WHAT?!" shouts of Inspiration, Jhon, Toni and Made simultaneously. Nugroho spontaneously covered his ears because of the volume of their voice so loud that it made his ears almost explode.

"Whisper!" moo Nugroho while puffing his cheeks. 

"Again, elo gave an unexpected surprise! Elo's not kidding, is he, Nug? This isn't funny! That selfish Fauzi Rizal is Dilan's cousin?!" said Nugroho who sat next to the fat-haired man.

"Why did I lie to you, Ton? That's why I hastily told you to come here. To talk about this" Nugroho said.

Toni mangosteen understands. 

"But, it looks like Fauzi Rizal and Dilan are not just in trouble with us. But, with their own families as well. I heard earlier that Fauzi Rizal was looked upon badly by his father. He must have been scolded for playing rough on you, Ham" Nugroho said.

"Ah, who cares about that? Fauzi Rizal deserves to be taught a lesson in order not to play rough. I would feel lucky if his father really scolded him. Right no?" said Made. Everyone nodded steadily. They all agree with that statement.

"But I'm still curious, Ham. Did Dilan say anything or nothing to Elo? Elo don't know about this?" tanya Nugroho turned towards Ilham.

Inspiration bit his lips in for a moment. "You remember when I refused to gather at Jhon's house, right? At that time, Dilan invited me to meet after school on the second floor. And he told me that he didn't like me going to tournaments because I had ruined his family." Ilham.

"Destroyed? It's totally bullshit. It was precisely him and Fauzi Rizal himself who made his family like that," Made said shaking his head. "Then, what else did he say?"

"He will make sure no one wants to work with me in the team.” said Ilham.

Jhon immediately looked at Ilham with a face of protest. "Hey, Ilham Alfarizi, this elo is indeed too closed. Why didn't you ever tell us? Ah, if it had been open, we wouldn't have fought." Jhon.

Little laughter heard it.

"Laughter again!" jhon said directly to the temple Ilhan. Then, shook his head looking at his best friend.

"Already, already. Everything has happened" Toni said with a laugh.

"Yes, and this captain of ours did not deliberately avoid us either. But he was very busy looking after his father. You should know that some time ago he was sick, so Ilham to skip training," said Jhon while embracing Inspiration. "I'm sorry that time I yelled at you. I'm just too emotional."

Made shook his head. "It's okay, Jhon. Elo is not an emotion. But, elo wise. Elo just doesn't want us to fight any deeper. Just like the elo we know." Clearly Made.

John smiled, then extended his hand. Made instantly countered him strongly. "Thank you, De."

"Don't forget, next time open up to us. Elo knows so much about the busyness of Inspiration but does not tell us. Elo makes matters complicated, you know! My energy is exhausted from quarreling with elo!" said Made.

"That's elo, Made" said Jhon sneering.

"Wicked elo, Jhon!" made said laughing as he pushed Jhon's shoulder slowly. But, Jhon just grinned at the behavior of his best friend.

"Elo too, Ham. I know elo wants to make up for all the mistakes elo has made against Father elo, but you also have to focus on us. Elo said that we will fight together until anytime. Captain truant without explanation!" nugroho said as he shook his head.

Just like Jhon, Ilham also just grinned.

Final Four of the men's team took place exciting with the match between the Health Nursing School and Candi Mas High School. The White Team from the School of Health Nurses who had now reunited like before clearly shocked almost everyone. Especially Dilan. The new boy was very upset to see the five men getting back to know each other. Especially when he saw Inspiration smiling at him. Really makes him sick.

But, the White Team clearly did not care about anything but their dreams that were already in sight. As usual they hump and yel-yel before the game and spend all the energy they have to win the game. In addition to dreams, they also want to win for the women's team who turned out to be unlucky in the Final Four for meeting strong opponents.

White Team strategy this time has changed back into a strategy of togetherness. Made's strategy to get rid of the official Inspiration was destroyed and now it was Dilan's turn to sit on the bench. Ilham and Jhon were again captains and strategists in the White Team. In addition to Mr. Ridwan, the audience especially the White Team supporters were also excited because of the return of the positive spirit aura from the White Team. The first two quarters of the match showed a lot of excellence from the team of Ilham and his friends.

"Ham!" exclaim Nugroho threw his ball towards Ilham.

"HUP!" imham swiftly caught the ball and immediately dribbled while he looked for his friends who could help him. It twists several times to escape from the opponent's barrier. 

"Brach!" suddenly from the right Jhon raised both his hands asking for the ball. Without thinking much more, Ilham immediately threw the ball with a chest pass. He bounced his basketball right off his chest with enough distance to pass to Jhon.

Jhon who incidentally is not far from the basketball ring immediately dribble quickly to get ready to shoot. While the other White Team members automatically direct defense to protect Jhon from opposing obstacles, as well as follow the movement of Jhon.

"Made!"

Made caught the basketball from Jhon and instantly dribbled it for a moment before he finally shot from close range. Logging in! Two numbers for White Team! The boisterous voices of the supporters instantly increased. The scoreboard turns to 35-15 for White Team excellence.

Throw in for Candi Mas High School! One of their players throws from the sidelines and the game starts to heat up again. Ilham and his friends again ran in the middle of the field, trying to snatch the ball from the hands of the opponent. Jhon and Ilham ran on the side of the field, while Made was in the middle. Nugroho and Toni guard the basketball hoop. 

"Spirit, spirit!" shouted Mr. Ridwan from the sidelines.

During the match against Candi Mas High School, Ilham, Jhon, Nugroho, Toni Adam and Made non-stop ran around the field to boast of everyone who had supported them. The voices of the supporters around them also helped burn their spirits.

***

Numbers keep moving fast as time goes on. Audience voices are also getting longer to make the Sports Arena hotter. The sweat that is pouring out in the body of each player is also getting more and more. Even their clothes were wet. Now they have arrived in the last quarter with a pretty big score. Excellence now moves to Candi Mas High School. Their score difference is pretty slim. With a few minutes remaining, White Team must continue to chase and prevent opponents to score again so that the difference does not get bigger.

Actually, the strength of Candi Mas High School was already visible to the White Team. They tend to attack whenever they have the chance without seeing what the risk is. After getting the ball, they must have taken a shot. And when the ball is on the White Team, they tend to defend. Therefore, it is easy to get the ball from them, but it is also not easy to attack because they have players who are proficient in capturing the ball.

"Dee!" nugroho shouted immediately passing long distance.

Made instantly dribble the ball for a moment and immediately dribble to Ilham who is nearby.

"Shoot!!"

Without saying much, Ilham immediately threw the ball quickly. Logging in! Three points for White Team! The scoreboard changed to 55-54 for the White Team's lead back. 

"Good! Defend, White Team!" exclaim Mr. Ridwan sonorous.

"Spirit, guys! Don't lose! Remember, we fight to the end! Don't let our sweat go to waste!" exclaim Jhon also encouraged his friends who had begun to fatigue. Their stamina seemed to start dropping as they ran to and fro to score.

"White Team's! White Team! White Team!" the supporters of spirit.

Three minutes to maintain the lead. And during that time also the two basketball teams constantly trying to chase numbers, fighting for positions to enter the final round. With gasping breaths they continued the match while cheering themselves on in their hearts. Until at the end...!

PRIIIIIIIIII....!!!!!!!

The whistle rang loudly a sign that the match was over. The audience cheered in delight as one of them had managed to advance to the next round. 

"We're in the final! We're in the final!" exclaim Nugroho immediately approached his friends and hugged them all while jumping up and down. He was very proud of himself and the hard work of his friends. Jhon, Toni, Made and Ilham are equally happy to have made it to the top. Not to forget the five of them also shake hands and high five with all the players of Candi Mas High School who have also tried hard. Maybe only Dilan is the only person who is not happy with the victory because he was not relegated to play. Absolutely...!!!

"Congratulations, guys," said one of Candi Mas High School players shaking the hands of the one-on-one Health Nursing School basketball team. "Your spirit is amazing. May you win against Dwi Citizens High School!".

"Thank you!"

Ilham, Jhon, Toni, Nugroho, Made stood in a circle after the players of Candi Mas High School said goodbye to them. They looked at each other with big smiles. After they were able to neutralize their own feelings of happiness, Inspiration spoke up.

"Friends, we're in the final. And our opponent lives High School Dwi Citizen. I want you to promise, in tomorrow's game, you have to be more excited than today. Forget all the thoughts that you have to win or have to enter a national level competition. Whatever happens tomorrow, it is the result of our efforts" said Ilham.

"Promise?"

Everyone nodded, agreeing with the words of Inspiration.

The five White Team members piled their hands in the middle. And finally they excitedly raised their hands all while shouting happily, "White Team, Friends Till The End!"
