Jessica and Juan were busy checking all the necessities for the race today. Both make sure all participants are ready and have breakfast before leaving for the race at the sports hall in the city.
"You guys ready?" jessica asked the teenagers who lined up neatly in front of her. They nodded and grabbed their bags. Get on the bus regularly.
"Ah, I'm sitting here, huh, Zii?" Zen glanced at the empty chair next to Zia, the girl did not reply she just nodded her omen allowing Zen to sit there.
"Zii," call Arfan who is sitting in the back seat of Zia. Zia stood up and turned her body to face Arfan, "What's wrong?"
"I saw Brother Hendra, did you see him?" asked Arfan to make sure that he really saw the figure of Hendra earlier.
Mahendra or more familiarly greet Hendra, the 26-year-old man is the youngest son of their beloved Master, Hendra just returned from out of town, he said, he participated in the national level race this year and managed to meritorious trophies and gold digali.
"I didn't see it, did you see it, Zen?" zia asked Zen who was busy reading the guidebook in his hand.
"Sir Hendra means that? Bagas and I met him at Master's house." Zen closes his book and looks at Arfan, both of whom are thinking.
Zen stood up and posted, "Does Brother Hendra still love Jessica?" whispers to Arfan. Arfan kept silent then glanced at Zia.
"Do you think Jessica loves Mr Aldy or not? whispered Arfan to Zia. The girl froze, she began to understand what these two friends were thinking.
"What you're talking about, the bus will go, sit down neatly" said Jessica, who had just stepped onto the bus. Zen stood up then sat down beside Zia again, both of them looking at Jessica with the same thought.
"I hope everything will be fine in the future" Zen whispered to Zia. Zia nodded, "I hope so."
Jessica went back to check on the race participants, making sure everyone had boarded the bus, "It's complete, but where's Juan?"
Jessica circulated her gaze looking for white Juan, unfortunately the man was not on the bus. "Huh, where is he, trouble people." Jessica goes downstairs and finds Juan in college.
The man is seen talking seriously with a tall and well-built man, Jessica widens her eyes, making sure she doesn't see people wrong.
"Ah, since when did Brother Hendra come home?" Jessica ran inside the bus after seeing Juan and Hendra end the conversation.
"Sister Jess, I'm sitting here, yes," Juan said, pointing to an empty chair beside Jessica. "Hmmm, sit down," Jessica replied but her eyes focused on the HP screen in her hands.
"Senior Hendra sends a greeting to Sister Jess," said Juan hesitantly, the man even averted his eyes so as not to look into the sharp eyes of Jessica.
"Hmmm," Jessica replied, still busy with her phone, she glanced at Juan and patted him on the shoulder slowly, "Who are you really there for, huh?" jessica asked as she landed a pretty loud pat on Juan's shoulder.
"Ah, sick, Brother," complained Juan and then shook Jessica's hand, "I just say hello, I still support Kak Aldy, I swear," he continued.
Jessica was silent, her mind was somehow floating, she did not even realize that the HP in her hand had fallen and was lying under her feet.
Juan picked up the thin object, placed it on top of Jessica's bag. "Sister Jess," he calls after the bus drives off the highway.
Jessica realized, she was looking for a thin object in her hand earlier, "Which phone, Juan?" ask Juan.
"This, Brother." Juan gave Jessica the phone, "So it fell down" he said, scratching his non-itchy head.
"Is he coming to the race?" jessica was serious. Juan seemed to think, the man did not understand who Jessica meant.
"Sir Hendra, is he coming?" Jessica made her point clear. "Ah, sure. Senior will come to support the children" Juan replied. The man continued to scratch his scalp even though he did not feel any itching in that part.
"Good." Jessica shook her head, closed her eyes, trying to enjoy the journey.
30 Minutes later, they reached the towering sports hall. All entering regularly, Zia and Zen walked behind Jessica, helping the woman to control the others.
Today, the opening day of the race, the race will start tomorrow, precisely Sunday and will end on Thursday.
All enter the room that has been prepared for each college. They put down the bag, took the plain white shirt and put it on.
Jessica and Juan had already reached the hall first, there were already many disciples from the other Dojo there. They look so enthusiastic to welcome the arrival of the seniors who will accompany them when the race is held.
All lined up neatly, saluting a well-built and tall man who would lead the marketing that morning. The man's eyes were extremely sharp, he could control hundreds of people in front of him.
Heating is closed by running around the field as much as 50 times a round. Bagas and Arfan regulated their breathing, both of them sitting leaning against that whitewashed wall.
"This year's competition is quite challenging, last year was not as exciting and sementantang," Bagas told Arfan. The man just nodded and straightened his legs.
"I think my spirit is starting to grow now" lead Bagas after seeing Hendra come complete with clothes and also his thick black belt.
"One less, senior Ken. Is he not coming?" Arfan was indeed quite close to Ken, he was one of the students who idolized the cold senior.
"Senior Ken must have come, but not now. Tomorrow, tomorrow, Sunday. Senior must be a lot to come," replied Bagas encouraging his comrade-in-arms.
Arfan smiled then stood up, he walked over to Zia and the others. Bagas also stood up and followed Arfan's big step.
"Why are we still gathered here?" jessica asked a group of teenagers who were still straightening their muscles.
"Hehehe, 5 minutes away, promise," Zia replied representing all those sitting beside her. Jessica exhaled softly, she also felt exhausted after standing up and hearing the instructions from the race committee earlier.
"Well," said Jessica and sat down with the crowd. All shifted, giving Jessica more space to sit down.
"You listen carefully, Sister Jess will stay behind you, winning or losing is not important. Most importantly, you have given your best for college and for us who have guided you," he said while staring one by one from the participants of the race. They smiled, "We will bring much more results than last year" replied Zen spirit.
these last 3 years, they have always brought a trophy of pride to college. Last year, Zia even donated two trophies at once, the girl also already has so many gold and silver medal collections in her closet. Zia and Zen are indeed a favorite couple, both of whom are both agile and strong. But Zia is much more dominant compared to Zen. Zen is also no less great with the girl, last year he won two gold medals and one silver. In the historical record, he never got bronze when participating in the race every year.
"Can I join." A man with a handsome face and dimples on his cheeks sat right next to Jessica. Jessica shifted her body, clapping with Zia's body. Zia who understood Jessica's condition also shifted to make Jessica comfortable.
"Sir Hendra," call Zia. The girl retreated so she could see Hendra's face being blocked by Jessica's sturdy body.
"Hi, Zii," said Hendra while wailing to find the whereabouts of Zia.
"Sister Hendra promised to give me some chocolate, right if Hendra comes home." Zia stood half-bending and then sat down to the right of Hendra.
Hendra pulled Zia's hair neatly tied up, "You always charge apparently, never change."
"Okay, 5 minutes have passed. Now go in and prepare yourself for the practice together later in the day," Jessica said and stood up, the woman never even looked at the face of the man sitting next to her.
"The Wolf was still fierce" Hendra muttered and ordered his disciples to rest and prepare.

Later that night, Jessica tidied up the room, giving a barrier for women and men. He tidied up the bags piled into one, "You done?" ask Zia who just entered the room with a towel still attached to her head.
"The queue is very long, brother. This year the participants are quite a lot, in contrast to last year," Zia replied while applying lotion on her body.
"Good, more rivals then more challenging." Jessica opened her hair tie, combing it gently.
"Zii, senior Mahendra is looking for you," called a sweet girl wearing that plain pink shirt. Zia turned her head and tied her hair, she walked out of the room.
Zia walked towards the hall, followed by the sweet in pink earlier. "Zia's coming" he said after standing next to Hendra.
"Ah, you've been everywhere, Brother's been looking for you for a long time." Hendra gave Zia two chocolate bars. "Take it, it's a ransom for my promise a few months ago" she said with a sweet smile, revealing her dimples.
"Thank you, Brother." Zia stared at the two long chocolate bars, "This is for me all?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, for you." Hendra pulled Zia's neatly tied hair and left the girl. He came back after a few minutes with two chocolate bars in his hand, "Titip for Jessica" he said, giving Zia the chocolate.
Zia was silent, she looked at the 26-year-old man whom she already considered to be her own biological brother. "All right, Brother." Zia smiled and then returned to the room.
Zia looked at Jessica who was lying down while playing her cellphone, she approached and sat down next to Jessica.
"Sister Jess," he called and gave Jessica two long chocolate bars, Jessica glanced over and put her down.
"From who?" Jessica wakes up, so she can talk to Zia more comfortably. "Hmmm, anu.from Brother Hendra," said Zia. The girl did not even dare to look Jessica in the eyes.
Jessica picked up the chocolate, opened it and shouted to the others. "Eat, don't be shy" he told the crowd. Zia smiled, she knew that Jessica always appreciated people's gifts, never refused even though she was uncomfortable with them.
"I'm not wrong to idolize Sister Jess" Zia murmured and put a small piece of chocolate into her mouth. He looked at Jessica who bit the chocolate little by little, it was very noticeable that Jessica did not intend to eat it, but he was forced to because he felt bad for Zia and also the sweet pink-clothed guy who had been staring at him since.
