On A Stormy Night
20. The Olympics Will Begin
Damar closed his tired eyes. Slowly he entered into such a beautiful dreamland. That night, the moon was seen hanging between the stars. For some reason in the dream there is no fear or loneliness that always terrorizes him.
If only I could continue to be in a dream, it would be very pleasant. Without having to bother, he can get whatever he wants. But unfortunately reality must be acceptable whether it is fun or not.
Tomorrow, finally the awaited day has arrived. Every time he wanted to give up, he felt he would not be able to face the Olympics he so awaited. He always thought not to get the number one position that in fact in his heart he really wanted to achieve.
He was relieved to be able to talk to his father about this even though he could not say to his mother. Not because I don't want to, but somehow it feels awkward. Although he was used to seeing his face but since seeing his mother walk with another man it felt like there was something he did not want to believe.
While to his father actually he was also reluctant at first, but because there was still less evidence he tried hard to release the awkward feeling that became a fortress between the two of them. He even broke out in a cold sweat when he dialed his phone number.
Damar wakes up and then immediately prays dawn. Today it feels very bright, he hopes today his heart can be as bright as the sun which begins to rarely see the effects of the rainy season that comes. As long as you can see the sun, Damar thanks to the God who created it.
He studied for a while before leaving. Today Damar plans to go with teachers who usually give additional lessons to him to the place where the Olympics are held. They left school by car. Coincidentally the car used was the headmaster, so they left the three .
Along the way, his hands sweat coldly, Damar does not know why. Just every time you feel stubborn will definitely be like that. His teacher who knows it gives a dish that feels inexhaustible throughout the journey. Damar during the trip only heard the talk of his teacher along the Anyer road until Panarukan which indeed stretched from end to end of the island of Java.
The teacher who had previously moved to a distant city, Damar also did not know too much about it. He only ever got to tell a few upperclassmen about teachers before. He himself had never met him, but it was not a big deal as long as there was a successor.
"It's ready, right?" when getting off the car Damar was asked by his teacher.
"Ready, but whatever the result may be only so much as his recovery,"Damar replied while asking to be understood if later the results did not match the expectations of his teacher who seemed very high.
"Just relax, want whatever the results are important first effort. The problem is how much is the business lately. Maybe next time there's a chance," he's expecting a lot from his student but he doesn't want to show it. He was afraid that his expectations even destroyed his mentality which resulted in his brain that could not work optimally.
"Later before starting to pray first so that you can focus more," continued the teacher.
"If that's for sure," smiling Damar replied.
