Odi's Story

Nine

 

New Odi arrived in front of GOR GCT. Then Odi handed over a piece of money to an online motorcycle taxi. "Thank you, Bang."

"This is the change, Neng. Don't forget the stars, yeah."

Odi pointed his thumb at the driver with a smile. "Ready, Bang."

 

Checking the clock on the phone. Showing the number eleven, he was almost an hour late at the beginning of the badminton exkul. "Duh, it's going to be this hour, huh. I hope that little guy isn't angry, huh."

Odi woke up bad luck. Last night, Odi watched the Korean drama Crash Landing on You starring his favorite actor Hyun Bin. "It's okay I diomelin guy restless it for the sake of watching Captain Ri," his inner while running.

Odi entered, then circulated his gaze. The hall contains four badminton courts. On the easternmost pitch, Odi saw Dava and his friends playing doubles.

Suddenly he was fascinated. "Cowok nyebelin that if you play cool again." However, a fraction later Odi was alluding to his own words. "Ih, what the hell, Di. People are still restless. Nothing good."

With three-quarters training pants and a pink t-shirt, Odi ran over to the other two members who were sitting on the edge of the field. He counted the number of members present. Are there only seven people including himself members of this exculus?

Odi sat next to his only female member besides himself. His face looks familiar. Ah, she's a girl who's been in the library a lot.

"Hi, I'm Odi. I just entered this exkul," said Odi sok familiar.

The woman just smiled.

"What's your name? Have you been with this exkul for a long time?"

"I'm Keke. I'm new too, huh. Just a month to come."

"I think I've seen you in the perpus a lot, deh. Really no?"

Keke nodded. "I really like going to the library while waiting for Mas Chandra."

"Lo's sister?"

Keke shook his head.

"So you're the girl?"

Keke's face flushed red then stuttered in reply, "Bu-not."

"Ah, who really?" goda.

"Really, really. I'm not Mas Chandra's boyfriend."

"Yes, believe it. If that's okay, too. Nyantuy aja keles." Odi giggles after being satisfied to tease Keke.

It seems true Keke joined this exkul because there is Chandra. But what good is Chandra? Odi immediately looked at Chandra who was playing, the look of a playboy cap canned crackers with chubby cheeks so, not at all attractive to Odi. In his eyes Rio was still more handsome. Odi doesn't care what Keke's reason is. Most importantly Odi has friends to chat with other than that annoying Dava.

"Oh yeah, what class, anyway?" Odi diverted the conversation.

"I'm a tenth grade IPA one. What class are you in?" Keke asked back.

"Well, lo pinter can also enter the class of excellence," praised Odi sincerely.

"Ah, no really," said Keke shyly.

"Oh yeah, I don't think I've ever seen you in the IPA tenth grade corridor, huh," he continued.

Odi replied, "Yes, I'm not an IPA child. I'm a tenth grader IPS one."

Keke nodded his head in response.

They talk about a lot of things. Although Keke still looks shy. It turns out Keke's a pretty smart student, he was ranked two parallel midterms last semester.

Two sets of Dava, Chandra, Joshua and one of his friends are done. They sat down and drank the prepared mineral water.

Dava glanced at Odi. "New dateng?"

"Sorrys. Semalem stayed up late forgetting that he was coming here." Odi reasoned.

"Ke, lo play," he ordered Keke.

"But before that, try to introduce yourself first, maybe there are those who are not familiar, continue to warm up," he added.

"Of all, I'm Odi. Sorry I'm late, wake up late," said Odi relaxed.

Odi glanced at the other members. There are mangosteen responding to the introduction of Odi. There are also those who are just silent and indifferent. Odi grunting. "Okay, anyway. Thanks." Thanks."

"In, that's where Randi, who wears a T-shirt item named Dana, it's Jo same Chandra you already know, and you also already know Keke," explained Dava.

"Well, now you know him, right? Hopefully on getting along, yes," he added.

Odi nodded slowly.

"Eh, why are you even bengong there? Warm-up hunt" Dava comments on Odi.

Odi rolled his eyeballs. "Yes-yes, you're a bawel."

After warming up, Odi took out his racket, then rushed to the field. Odi rolled up his sleeves, preparing for service as he won choosing a coin drawing.

"Okay, ready." Dava blew the whistle sign the game was about to begin.

Odi started with a short forehand that Keke managed to return. The game started to run. Start to look at their game patterns. Score they chase each other.

"Keke's game can be too," Odi's inner.

Odi does dropshots, Keke automatically do footwork and then jump and immediately do a smash. Shuttlecock hard-to-return Odi, Keke narrowly won in the first game with a score of twenty-one-nineteen.

"Woy, change places" Dava exclaimed from the sidelines.

Odi and Keke swapped places. "My second game can't lose" he said.

"Priyittt..." Whistle ringing. The second game is soon underway.

In the second set, Odi did not want to lose. He tried to exert his abilities. Odi repeatedly launched an attack but continued to successfully returned Keke.

Odi admitted Keke's game was good, he was quite defeated against the girl. The game closed with Keke who made netting moves with a slow but difficult punch back Odi. Score Odi left ten-twenty-one.

Keke and Odi shake hands. "Great lo, Ke." He held out both of his thumbs. "Survive once again, yes."

Keke smiled shyly in return. "Thank you. Your game is good too, huh."

"Next time I won't lose again."

"I'm always ready. Spirit."

Although exhausted and the game won Keke, but Odi happy. Because he hasn't played badminton in a long time.

The sight did not escape the eyes of the eagle Dava. "Lumayan too" he whispered.

Odi was not far from Dava. He downed the mineral water quickly and rubbed his sweat with a small towel. Suddenly Dava approached him. "In, this abis plays with me, yuk," he asked.

"Religion. I'm tired," refused Odi.

With a soft look, Dava put his lips together and followed the word Odi with a vowel that replaced 'i'.

"Didih, just so tired," he sneered.

Odi glanced cynically. "Udah, really. If you want to play, yes play. But bring the others. Same with Randi. I just played. Still tired."

Dava acted spoiled to tease Odi. "But I want the same."

"Bodo," replied Odi ketus.

Dava who saw the expression on Odi's face immediately laughed with anxiety.

"Mode and canned crackers!" chandra's chirping followed the laughter of the other members.

Seriate...
