OFFSIDE - Outside Boundaries

Out of Boundary

Saturday afternoon in a corner of the city.

A dozen children aged 8 to 10 years are busy playing football in the Volley field next to the mosque near the house of Mr. Andi.

Although they are not too serious in playing, but their technique in kicking and dribbling enough to make Fachri amazed and entertained.

That afternoon Fachri was out on his own looking for another atmosphere.

Because every day, he just works at home.

"Goool.." shouted a little boy sitting next to Fachri.

Fachri smiled at the boy.

"You didn't play" asked Fachri to the boy who seemed happy to welcome the goal that had just happened.

"That's it.." The boy answered Fachri's question.

"Why?" Ask Fachri back.

"My legs are sick, yesterday in sleding, trus sprain," replied the boy.

"But it seems like you're still cheerful even if your feet hurt," Fachri marveled as he looked at the child's face.

''The boy smiled

"Hehehehe, even though I can't play football, at least I can give my friends the spirit" said the boy.

"This child is able to think BEYOND the LIMITS of the ability of people in general," whispered Fachri in his heart.

"When people who have limitations are moody, many sad, often stand still, but not for this child," Fachri thought hard about the incident that afternoon that made Fachri aware.

"It seems we have to think OUTSIDE THE LIMITS, in order to still be able to work even within limitations," whispered Fachri back in his heart.

🚗Tin... Tin....

A car stopped in front of Fachri.

"Why's Mas Fachri again?"

diana got out of the car.

"For the wind." said Fachri.

"Yuk came home, a little bit more Maghrib," Andi shouted from the car.

🌅And the sun goes down.

"Why do you think?"

"The star is daunted on falling when viewed by Mulu...." tanya and lead Diana as she approached Fachri who was lying on the bale while looking at the bright sky decorated with millions of stars that glowed spoiled in the air.

"Here de... try to show one star," asked Fachri to accompany Diana that night.

🎼"As our step guideline,"

"Friend my handiwork,"

"Up to the shade of shahdu" while lying down Fachri invited Diana to sing.

"I'll carve,"

"One story about us,"

"Where good and bad,"

"Abridged by the beautiful," greeted Diana who sang no less than merdunya.

"I'll do it,"

"All our works,"

"Where is black and white,"

"Brooted by the warmth of love" Fachri added with a smile to Diana

"Something else is out" guess Diana.

"It's not a melow, but these eyes have started to open after this afternoon a boy has opened these eyes" explained Fachri.

"Well?" ask Diana.

Fachri smile.

"Yes... boy earlier in the field there was a boy who was encouraging his team that was competing,"

"He couldn't compete because he had an injury to his leg,"

"However, he does not dissolve in sorrow,"

"He always helps his team in the way he can,"

"That's when he can be. yeah...."

"Then do whatever we can do right now,"

"Don't stop to work" explained Fachri at length.

Diana fell silent, listening to what Fachri explained.

"De. I want to make a football club" said Fachri.

"Wih...m sure?" ask Diana.

"God willing, sure" replied Fachri.

"If Fachri be sure.... Diana was ready to support, " Diana said.

Diana agrees with Fachri's idea of setting up a football club......

"There's a field here that we can use?" ask Fachri.

"Let's remember, you have a stadium in the Tugu area,"

"Tomorrow morning we try to make a proposal to father, please agree," said Diana so excited.

🤲"Aamiin.." - Fachri

“This week what day off?” ask Diana.

“Besok..... mas!” Answer Diana.

“What's up......?"

"Don't tell me if Fachri Mao eats at the restaurant...."

"Trus shot Diana...."

"Trus asked Diana to marry him" Diana joked with a smile.😜

“Ooooo.. Ngarep Dot Com.” ledek Fachri impressed cute.

“Turn us to Baabuttaubah foundation,"

"Mas would like to take a certificate and files about the football school are still there.” explained Fachri.

🤭“For mas Fachri, everything Diana handed over.... hehehe...” Diana answered aloud.

The next day they took the files at the Baabuttaubah foundation.

Ustadz Fadlan once said that Alief still kept the files neatly.

"Assalamualaikum.." Greetings from Fachri.

"Wa'alaikumussalam.." replied ustadz Fadlan who was sitting on the terrace of the foundation.

"Subhanallah... How is Mr. Fachri?"

"Alhamdulillah has improved a lot ustadz" replied Fachri.

They've been chatting for quite a while.

It doesn't feel like it's near noon.

"I forgot.. surely Alief still ngamen ya Tadz?" ask Fachri.

"Yes, you know for yourself." replied ustadz Fadlan.

"Most mornings he went home." added ustadz Fadlan.

"A little more Dzuhur.. nyok kite to the mosque, the abis ate dah," asked ustadz Fadlan.

After the Dzuhur prayer they ate at the Mbok Nunung stall.

"Well... Who is this?"

"Something you've ever known?" ask mbok Nunung.

"Come guess mbok?" Fachri tried to throw a question.

"Mas Fachri huh?" guess mbok Nunung.

"One hundred for mbok" said Fachri.

"Wow... pangling me..."

"Hair is neat and has not been fussy again," remember mbok Nunung.

"Who is this? your wife mas?" ask mbok Nunung.

"Aamiin.." - Diana.

"Hus.. maen aamiin aamiin aja.." refuted Fachri.

😆Hahaha....

they simultaneously laughed....

"Pak Fachri.." There was a voice shout from outside the mbok Nunung stall.

"Alief.." - Fachri.

Long enough they let go of the longing.

Just understand....

Alief so lost Mr. Fachri, even his income decreased when not accompanied by Mr. Fachri.

Fachri recounted the intent and purpose of the data to the Foundation today.

"Oh. panties,"

"The files were like they were planning a football school" Alief said at the time.

"In a moment, Alief get it in the room first" Alief said as he rushed towards the room.

Not long after.

"This is Mr. Fachri's file" Alief said.

"Thank you Lief, I'd love to take care of him" Fachri said, hugging Alief.

"Then we say Tadz,"

"Thank you so much for your help" said Fachri.

"Together Mr. Fachri," replied ustadz Fadlan and Alief.

Fachri and Diana return home.

“Mas..."

"Give me these files...."

"Let Diana keep it..."

"Pokoke mas Fachri got it all right..."

"Plicensing problem... banner..... famplet.... until the registration form leave it to Diana.” stressed Diana who was so excited.

😍“Ya..... Alloh...... don't force me to love Diana more than just a sister.” do’a Fachri in heart.

That night Fachri fell asleep….

I don't know why…..

Maybe because the burden of his life has felt lighter or maybe tired all day doing activities outside the home.

🌌But another case with Diana....

He didn't sleep last night...

All Fachri's files he studied....

And all the need to set up a football school he was working on just overnight.
