Ms. Dorky

C2; 7. Athletic Candidate

Now every afternoon Ayu has a training schedule with Heru, it has been almost two weeks they train. Ayu training portion is also increasing, physical exercise initially started from running one complex round is now developing into five rounds. Heru turned out to be the most competitive person Ayu had ever met, the guy was seriously training as if they were going to face a national tournament.

“Si Dano is Yu's main hero, Laras has also stolen the start of training from before the Udin cup was held. Rada is not balanced anyway, so you have to hurry up Balainin” Heru info.

Ayu snorted then stopped running, she gulped down a bottle of water. The sweat has been pouring out ever since. Although in the old village Ayu used to heat in the rice fields, but he was not an athlete. Running five rounds without stopping is the same as working on almost half the rice fields owned by Mr. RT. Heru held back a smile looking at Ayu's look. His eyes looked at the little girl from top to bottom. With the pigtails and sports uniform that Ayu wore made her look like a fresh boy graduated Junior High. But wearing a sports uniform was more mending than the other day Ayu almost wore a long skirt and long shirt on their first day of training, because Ayu did not have sports clothes at all. If you remember again the innocent behavior of Ayu at that time managed to make Heru laugh amusedly.

“Yu come on, half a lap again!” invite Heru to pull the hand Ayu ran to follow him. Then, about four hours later, the two were busy training in the side yard near the car garage. Ayu's game began to increase, he was getting good at hitting the ball to and fro making Heru a little overwhelmed to deal with the girl's blow. One of Ayu's shortcomings is that his body is too short to run fast when chasing the net ball from Heru.

“I think I will ask Mr. Toto to mengingkirin billiard table deh. Later we practice in the billiard room, here the wind likes rogue chests. If I need to rent a badminton court, then we can practice more seriously there. How's Yu according to you?” muttered Heru as they rested. “Yu, Ayu” cried Heru startled when he realized Ayu did not respond to his words, the girl's face turned slightly dazed.

“Lu horrified I didn't?”

“Enggak” geleng Ayu honest. “Mas, would you like a meatball?”

Heru looked up at the back of Ayu. “Lu laper?”

“Iya. I watch on TV, the athlete eats it must be a lot so that his stamina is more okay.”

Heru smiled amusedly. “Since when did you become an athlete? There-there's aja lu. But yaudah, yuk, I treat”

“Eh, I do not ask for a treat, I just want permission to buy meatballs” geleng Ayu refused smooth. He stood up ordering meatballs and sat in front of the fence followed by Heru. This afternoon is the best to enjoy a bowl of warm meatballs.

“Lu like meatballs huh Yu?” ask Heru. He turned and whispered softly.

“I laper.”

Heru grinned wide. “Lu know this house from where Yu?”

“Means?”

“Lu can think about the list of work in this house how? where can you get information?” Heru clearly.

“From Mbak Ningsih's. In the past when Lebaran Mbak Ningsih returned home, I continued to be taught to work here as well. He said his salary was okay and safe”

“Terus you want?”

“Kalo do not want, I will not sit next to Mas Heru while eating meatballs” smile Ayu amused.

“Why do you want?” tanya Heru sounded stupid, but honestly she did want to know. Ayu is two years younger than Heru, should be at that age he is still playing with his peers.

“Because I need money” Ayu replied straightforwardly. “My sister Adit needs money for school, if only ngandelin mother money, we will not be able to eat. I am also not smart mas, so mending Adit aja school”

“Lu kangen same nyokap?”

“Iya. I also miss it?” ayu asked, next he bit his lips and looked down at the meatballs. “Sorry I don't have a”

“Ngot knowing” replied Heru cutting Ayu's words. Heru's face was suddenly gloomy, his eyes staring deep into the afternoon sky. When was the last time Heru mambahas mama? A year ago Two years ago? Or never? Heru did not even remember the last time he felt homesick for his mother.

“I every meal is good like gini so kangen same mom and Adit. I could not buy them good food like gini. In the past the first time here I often cry, miss the same mother” said Ayu hurriedly shifted the topic.

“Now is it not?”

“Udah. I miss for example Mas Heru Angarin-” Ayu immediately smothering his own mouth, once again he almost slipped. Ayu smacked her lips softly. Habits like nyerocos at will! inner Ayu screamed

“I didn't say so” elak Ayu. Heru held a smile.

“Gue is so bad Yu?”

“Neither mas, I am aj”

“Regular but traumat” ledek Heru. Ayu sneered. “Oh already can sneer yes now”

“Not really. Mas Heru was a time too sensitive” geleng Ayu turned his face, his feelings felt lighter, quietly unconsciously the corner of Ayu's lips moved, displaying a small smile.

...----------------...

Ayu put the koyo almost to the entire body, he massaged his feet that felt sore and then lay on the mattress.

“Capeknya new feel ya Yu?” tanya Ningsih pity.

“From yesterday I have felt mbak, just today my feet like to go off.”

Ningsih's body moved towards Ayu. “Every day same training Mas Heru how?”

“Today is still fine mbak, do not know if it's bad for friday, I can be clicked using a racket kali.”

Ningsih laughed amusedly. “Later if it has been compared I can come watch no Yu?”

“That way I don't know mbak, tadingnya where I just don't know. That's why I want this to go fast. Mending me all day in the kitchen instead of running around the five-round complex. Long time my legs can be off”

“Kalo so like you win I want to share the prize.”

Ayu nyengir's. “Boro-boro hopes to win, I think you should doain me not on the racket.”

Ningsih turned off the lights and pulled the blanket. From a distance the lights of the Levronka family house illuminate their room through the window of the room that was deliberately left open. Ningsih prefers the night wind to turn on the AC.

“By the way. Mas Heru it seems to have two personalities”

“You mean?”

“Hmm….Mas Heru is sometimes very fierce, but sometimes very good. Until I thought Mas Heru had a twin brother. If you remember Mas Heru used to jerk me, it feels like the person who practices badminton with me every afternoon is not the same person yes” explained Ayu seriously.

“Then His son was kind to Yu. Just after Mr. Henry married, suddenly Mas Heru became emotional. Maybe it's a surprise that Yu has a new mother. Where the age is the same as Mbak Dini. His pantes became Mas Heru's older brother Sih” Ningsih's story. “When I first met Ms. Eva, so nice. Just that, his stepson suddenly became rancid. Like to go home at night, sometimes not come home, even until Miss Eva nangis”

“Because what is mbak?” ask Ayu interested.

“I don't really understand Yu, because it fights using English, exclaimed Yu, kayak again watch a western movie. According to Mbok Raya, Mas Heru refused to move to Singapore. But secretly I am grateful Yu, because if Mas Heru moves, this house will be sold. I can't imagine if this house is for sale and we're fired”

“But it can be Mbak, we work together with the new host”

“Ya good. What about evil? Mas Heru even though fierce, he never cut salary.”

“So this mom hates not the same Mas Heru?” goda Ayu prank.

“Love and hate Yu, like Geisha. Love for payday, hate ordinary days haha” said Ningsih chuckled in his own words.
