Karatan Bad Boy

Part 3#Open Challenges, Matchmaking

One question distracted him for a moment. He knows children feel bored with lessons but to overcome boredom can still be by adding knowledge. Close the thick book, then lean back to the back.

"So, what do you want to do?" asked Bu Kim to welcome the bliss on the face of his protege.

A student in a giggly uniform held his right hand up high, "Mom, can we see a basketball game? It can add to the experience."

"Can, who's the opponent? One classmate or another school or even a schoolmate. Which one did you choose?" ask Bu Kim back made the student think what to answer.

Whispery chats color the wait for answers that will decide the rest of the lesson hours. Who doesn't want to be free? It was definitely better to just cheer on the edge of the court while enjoying the awesome scenery of their school basketball players.

"What if I challenge mom? One on one." said someone in a firm voice full of confidence.

Ms. Kim turned to the source of the voice which turned out to be Mr. Gio's favorite student again. Somehow the heart feels lazy to serve the child but the job requires him to be professional. The challenge has been presented, so it is not good to refuse.

"One against one? What payoff?" The gazes of the eyes peppered with each other spreading an aura of hostility. "If you win, I'll increase your practice time by practicing on a special field."

Initially only wanted to challenge in order to restore team spirit but the teacher's offer was more tempting to make Rafa smile thin. The opportunity was to be taken advantage of so it should be accepted only that he was confused about what to give in return. Other than his position as leader, there was nothing more to give.

Where may be to submit a scholarship seat that becomes the bridge of the future. A moment to think carefully about what will be given in return for betting if he loses later. The clasping of the hand restores the consciousness that immediately wrenches the surrender of power.

"I'm going to be a backup player." the breakup instantly gets a rejection from all the members of basketball even classmates gasped in shock at the answer that was too unfortunate.

A handsome face, a sharp charming eye gaze gives certainty. There is no doubt, it can continue. But it is not that easy because the challenge is done openly, then there must be concrete evidence.

Miss Kimmy took the blank paper. The woman was busy writing down something that had no idea what its purpose was. For two minutes there was only waiting, "Come here! Sign your challenge letter."

Rafa was stunned because he did not expect it to be that serious. How can a new teacher act in such a way. Even though the whole school knows, he is always the representative when the inter-school competition is taking place. Do not want to add longer duration. Finally, the challenge letter was signed by both of them alternately.

The teacher also asked some of the students to sign as witnesses. I don't know what will happen next because the match will be held after school. So that all students return to their respective benches to continue the swimming material.

The tense atmosphere of the class is inversely proportional to the warm state between two friends who have just met each other due to unexpected events. Salah took the order and ended up being a get-together discussing the past just to reminisce. The laughter that sounds so crisp brings happiness.

"By the way how many kids are you? There must be many donks, it's the earliest marriage" said an adult man with a casual appearance of a black training suit.

Another woman with the appearance of a hijab smiled hearing that. Suddenly he thought of something that could unite their friendship and the cord of friendship was not broken. His silence resuscitated the Lion who was smiling meaningfully.

"Why are you smiling? Don't give me any weird ideas, yeah. We are not young anymore." said the man with a neat appearance who saw the couple in front of him smiling for no reason.

Lion chuckled at Fairuz's fear. He knows, the friend is traumatized by his ignorance, "Not strange, really. Actually we have one boy but that's it."

"That's? Mean how? Like the boys?" asked Fairuz without a second thought who was immediately rewarded with pinch upset his wife.

The question his best friend did not get was wrong just not right. As a parent, of course, anxious when having children who always stay at home all day when not going to school. Although it is a weekend schedule for rest. Time every time asked not to play, the answer is lazy mending sleep.

"My son is normal, bro." Lion looked at Fairuz seriously because he didn't want any misunderstandings. "Gini loh, he's just working diem at the school holiday home. If taken out, it is difficult to ask for mercy. So if your kids are girls. Why don't we just get married. Relationships can become tighter."

It was like getting a breath of fresh air listening to the long-awaited matchmaking offer. Without realizing Lion and his wife, Fairuz is indeed looking for a son-in-law for his only daughter. Moreover, he is sure to be educated which will always be guided by religion and also broad science.

"Darling, what do you think? Can we consider this one's son-in-law?" he asked with his eyes fixed on the woman who was now silently thinking about everything.

The sound of breath holding hints at something that must be a burden. Lily looked pensively confused to answer what because she felt everything would be useless. He knows how his daughter's attitude when to be betrothed and not to hurt the hearts of others.

"Ly, what's wrong with you? Is there a problem with your son?" ask Keisha who can feel the sadness of her old friend.

Silence is unable to make a sound makes Fairuz embrace the body of his wife who began to tremble because of the fear in the heart that is reluctant to leave. Trauma is difficult to eliminate because a mother is increasingly devastated when she sees her only daughter passing the test of life that is not easy.

Lion and Keisha stared at Fairuz. Both hope to get an explanation because they are confused about the situation. Twenty years apart, they had no idea what had happened during that time. So it is natural to feel unsettled by the situation that is in sight.

"My daughter deserves to be married just her past. If I tell you, you'll also withdraw the proposal that's been offered." Take a few deep breaths, then breathe slowly. Calmness must not end the restlessness of the heart.

"Our daughter became a victim of sexual abuse at a young age. Although at that time did not manage to take away his honor. My daughter still refuses to know any man. Since then we have always looked after her more than anything even Lily chose to stop working and always accompany our son.

"For two years the self-confidence-return treatment program was carried out until we saw the smile on the face that we always missed. But the introduction of a man became the second ruin that now adds to our daughter's stance to stay away from men except her own father." Fairuz explained without hesitation because his two best friends have been part of the family since High School.

Keisha rubbed Lily's arm hoping to help ease the burden on a mother's heart. "I won't push but this matchmaking is better for both of our families. I don't know why I feel this meeting has been God's answer to my prayers over the past month. Do you want to think about our children's matchmaking?"
