🌌"This we want to go to Cirebon or stay at Tegal Coach...?" ask Mr. Sularjo.
"We are in Tegal. because we have made an agreement with Mr. Indro." replied Fachri.
"Each coach is if in the Google map is a range of one and a half hours." said Mr. Sularjo.
SUDDENLY Fachri's phone rang.
"Yes Pakde. This is we just departed from Cirebon, sorry there was an incident..."
"Estimate there at eleven o'clock." said Fachri when received a call from Coach Indro.
"Pakde Indro who is Coach...? ask Mr. Sularjo while driving.
"Pakde Indro was my close friend and Ilham..."
"Well, that was unique when we were young..."😁
"Well... now we're old... about how it looks...?"🤣 ledek Fachri in memory of Coach Indro.
"It looks like Coach Fachri is very familiar with the Indro pakde...?" ask Mr. Sularjo.
"Yes sir.he's the only coach who's funny.
"Oh.. pantesan..from that smile itself..." Said mr. Sularjo.
🚐 Finally the car arrived in Bumijiwa District, Tegal Regency. They were greeted by Coach Indro who had been waiting for them from the afternoon.
It turns out that the location of Coach Indro's house is very close to the location of the JUCI hot spring.
The air in the JUCI area is quite cold, but it seems like Coach Indro deliberately invites them to soak in the Hot Spring.
"Where's the trip...? ask Coach Indro.
"Lumayan is quite tiring and stressful." replied Fachri.
"Now eleven o'clock at night. mending we take a bath in the urn.." take Coach Indro.
"Waduh... the middle of the gini mall we swim?" ask Fachri confused.
"It can be arthritic." added Fachri.
"Well, this is the difference. if we soak the jar... God willing..the rheumatism is gone..." Coach Indro's.
They walked to the bath on foot. Range of five hundred meters distance of Indro Coach house with the location of the urn bath.
On the way Coach Indro tells the history of the Jars.
"Where is the history of Pakde.. how can there be a hot spring bath...?" ask Fachri.
"So... This urn Tour Object...presents a hot water soak tour. whose water comes from the foot of Mount Slamet..."
"History.. the name of the urn is said to be from the time of Walisongo... in spreading Islam in western Central Java. especially around Tegal..."
"The guardian is equipped with water placed in an urn or pot... The people believe that the water in the urn can be efficacious so that in droves ask the guardian..."
"But because the number is limited, while many people who want to enjoy it. then the guardian then stick it to the ground..."
"When the stick is removed.magic..from the hole in the ground the former stick that is plugged flows hot water.." explained Coach Indro.
"The hot water is still flowing and used by the community as a bathing place..."
"Then the bathhouse is often called by the name of the urn." added Coach Indro.
"Continue... what does this have to do with the Jum'at Kliwon mallem...?" ask Mr. Sularjo.
🌘"Because.. supposedly the story..this event occurred in the middle of the night on Friday Night Kliwon..."
"So until now every Friday night Kliwon... They believe that if they do this, they will be granted." said Coach Indro.
"Oh.. that's it.." said Mr. Sularjo.
Finally they reached the bath. Coach Indro and Pak Sularjo immediately splashed a pond that contained quite warm water.
"Let's go to Fachri. nyebur aja.." refer to Coach Indro.
"The water is so hot." said Fachri.
Mr. Sularjo's creeping towards the shower. His head he placed exactly carried by the water. He stayed long enough under the warm water. Making blood flow from the head to the whole body smooth.
Maybe this is why soaking hot water jars load healthy bodies.
🙈Fachri finally ventured to soak and do the same thing as Mr. Sularjo. That is to stand still under the hot water flowing from the shower towards their heads.
🕐Tak feels an hour passed.
They finally went home and fell asleep.
⁇ ️After the Fajr Prayer and Breakfast Coach Indro took Fachri and Pak Sularjo to the promised ball field.
"So this is the field where Pakde now trains...?" ask Fachri.
"Yes... Pakde now not too ngoyo.. just give football knowledge to children here alone." replied Coach Indro.
Not how long appeared and began to arrive young people built Coach Indro.
They deliberately collected Coach Indro to select Fachri.
"You guys for two teams. These are the names..."
"Please gather according to their respective groups." Coach Indro orders while proffering the names of the players on the paper.
Fachri introduced himself and explained his intention and purpose of coming to Tegal that day. It seems like all the players are very enthusiastic.
The age variation ranges from eighteen to twenty-five years. Exactly what Fachri asked for.
Both teams warmed up and then began the match which was in wasiti directly by Coach Indro.
Accidentally the match is done full to see their endurance. After the game was over, Fachri selected five players for further selection.
"Thank you for today's match.you're really very talented..."
"For the five people I mentioned, please come together..."
"For others can rest and take the food and drink that is in Coach Indro.." orders Fachri.
After the break, the five selected young people were in further selection. From starting to see the power of long kicks, penalty kicks, free kicks, corner kicks and crosses.
"Alhamdulillah.. after a few kicks that you do.. we have managed to record the results..."
"Of the five people.there is one person we choose..."
"I chose a name... Iqbal Ramadan..."
"For others, thank you for joining the selection.maybe the quality of the game will develop in the future." said Fachri.
It turned out that the chosen one was Iqbal Ramadhan, the twenty-year-old young man was a hard job in his family.
"Where can Iqbal... to Jakarta when?" ask Fachri.
"That is the Coach's problem.I am the backbone of the family..."
"I inherited an old man's farm that I had a hard time living on." explains Iqbal.
"Eh... but for Iqbal himself... are you interested in joining Harokah FC...?" ask Fachri.
"I am very interested Coach. because this is my dream since childhood." replied Iqbal.
😔They were silent for a moment.
"So here.. May I visit your house...?" fachri pinta.
"May Coach.it would be an honor for me if Coach Fachri could visit my house." replied Iqbal.😍
