My Shoes My Love

9. 2 Days Feels like 2 years

Today, Sheila was less excited. I want to skip school for 2 days. But Sheila could not have done that, because if her parents knew Sheila was doing so they would have been furious.

The thing that makes Sheila is not excited is because Agam does not enter school today. For the next 2 days Agam asked permission not to enter school because it will participate in a badminton tournament.

"Just try you are here Gam, surely I will not feel lonely rich gini," murmured inner Sheila who was sitting on her stool.

Usually Sheila always wanted to be outside the classroom looking at the scenery below. But this time it felt really lazy. Something is different, something is lacking. Sheila felt so lonely.

In the classroom Sheila looked so moody. His closest friends also tried to cheer Sheila but the results were nil. Sheila was not excited. Sheila does look very different when there is no Agam.

Usually Sheila was always cheerful and feisty, but this time Sheila had completely turned into a sage. Sheila really turned quiet today.

"Hi Sheila, why are you so moody?" ask Anisa. He immediately sat down to Sheila who was pensive on his stool.

"Ah it's okay," Sheila replied.

"Surely because Agam did not enter school today yes, so you became like this," Anisa guessed.

"Anga also, it must be just your feelings," said Sheila who did not want to admit her feelings.

It was actually a shame for Sheila to confess her true feelings. He does not usually tell about what he feels to anyone. Sheila's too closed. He doesn't want anyone else to know how he feels.

I don't feel like a few hours have passed. Now the lesson is over. As usual Sheila had to walk first before she boarded the angkot. Sheila once again remembered Agam.

Usually almost every day Agam always escorts Sheila until the angkot ride. But today Sheila walked alone, because by chance Hana and Vinda had an additional lesson.

When going up the angkot Sheila recalled the habit of Agam who always pinched his cheeks before they separated.

"Just a day we haven't seen each other but I do remember the same you Gam," murmured Sheila.

While in an angkot Sheila pulled out her phone and put up a handsfree that she always carried so that she could listen to music wherever she was. Sure enough, by listening to music Sheila's mind became calmer at this moment.

While in other places Agam was ready to immediately go out of town. Agam with 2 of his friends Anton and Toni and his coach Pak Rizal are ready to leave soon.

The tournament was attended by several cities. He was lucky because he represented his team. Although it feels so heavy because it has to leave Sheila but Agam has to do this. Because that opportunity will never come 2 times.

There are 3 things in life that will never come back. The first time after it has passed. The second is the words spoken and the opportunity after it has passed.

Remembering that makes Agam do not want to think 2 times. Agam should be able to take advantage of this opportunity, because this is his desire for a long time. A few hours later they finally arrived at the match venue.

"Whenever the place is crowded, I can be pessimistic to win" said Agam who felt discouraged and began not to believe in himself.

"Don't give up before a Gam. The most important thing is that you have tried and prayed" said Mr. Rizal, who always gave his spirit to Agam.

The match finally began. Before Agam, Anton and Toni played first. Nearly an hour later, Anton and Toni lost the game.

Now it was Agam's turn to start playing. At first, I felt less confident. Agam also lost in the first round. He tried to play harder.

"Come on Agam you can do it!" murmured in Agam who encouraged himself.

In this round he tried to give his best game. For the beginning, Agam felt less excited, but after his spirit returned finally Agam could defeat his opponent.

Agam felt very happy because he finally won. Since Agam wins, Agam must attend the final event tomorrow first.

The next day Agam was ready to fight. Previously Agam practiced a lot to warm up first. A few minutes later, the final round began. Although hesitant, Agam tried to exert all his strength.

This time Agam has to be really serious so he can win this match. And sure enough, after a few minutes of fighting on the field Agam finally could win this match.

"Yes, this victory is for you Sheila," murmured the inner Agam.

"Yeah, Agam is great!" cheers of Anton and Toni in unison.

Agam smiled as his friends cheered his name.

"Congratulations, you are great!" said Mr. Rizal.

After the match was completed, Agam also got a certificate and a trophy. After the show, they all rushed home. Agam felt very happy because he would finally go home.

Agam deliberately did not tell Sheila if the time to return home was accelerated. Agam deliberately wanted to give a surprise to Sheila.

Elsewhere Sheila was still lying on her soft bed. For Sheila 2 days feels like 2 years because she cannot meet with Agam. Sheila could only look at the love-shaped doll that Agam had given her yesterday.

Sheila hugged the pillow all night.

"This is all I have. Hugging this felt like it was near Agam. I miss you so much Gam," murmured Sheila until she fell asleep.

Moments after Sheila fell asleep, she had a dream about Agam. In his dream Agam had just come home from out of town and gave a trophy to Shila.

The next morning, Sheila was already preparing to go to school. Unlike yesterday who felt limp and uninspired, for some reason it felt like Sheila today was so excited.

There was something waiting for Sheila. He hastened his steps so that Sheila can get to school soon. Luckily Sheila did not wait so long for the angkot to come.

He immediately rushed up because he could not wait to get to school.

"I wish last night's dream came true" murmured Sheila.
