See You Tonight

Chapter 111: Second Day Festival

Time has shown at 07:25, but Cindy has not yet revealed herself. I think I'm worried about him more than usual, somehow.

"Oi Lang, Ben, San, come here. We discuss strategy first before competing," said Aji from the front of the class.

Me, Ahsan, and Ruben then immediately approached Aji as he said. Tomi, Calvin, Fahmi, and Renaldi are seen gathering first.

"As usual, we will play a game pattern that is almost the same as yesterday, the difference for the match against 10-9 later, please one of us must have someone to look after Robi. I think it's best not to have Renaldi guarding him because Robi usually plays a bit too tight. That means the other three players have to take care of it in turn, okay?" said Aji gave the order.

"Understand," we answered compactly.

"As usual, for the start of the game, the players who will go down are Ruben, me, Renaldi, Galang, and Ahsan, does anyone mind?" ask Aji again.

We all shook our heads in agreement with Aji.

"Then the words of our captain, Galang, remain" said Aji to my surprise.

"Eh me? What am I supposed to talk about? Hasn't everything been discussed by you Ji?" ask me.

"Hahaha I thought Galang would talk like that. That means Aji, as team captain, you should also give words of motivation so that we become more energetic and compact" Ruben said.

"Hahaha tumben Ruben understood," ledek Ahsan.

"Haaa? What did you say? Want to make a storm this early in the morning?" ask Ruben.

"Hahaha it's early in the morning. Come on Lang say something," Aji said with a slight smile.

"To be honest, I don't know what to say for now. I really don't have the experience to talk about what else motivates others like right now. So, I'm just gonna say that... Play quietly, enjoy, be happy, trust each other, and of course always try to show the best" I said.

The eight of us then formed a small circle and tos together. When I looked back at the wall clock, it turned out that it had entered at 07:35. I didn't even hear the bell ringing earlier, or was I too focused on our preparations just now? Or indeed, the bell was intentionally not rung? I don't know.

I looked up at Cindy's seat, which was still empty. It's not usually Cindy's as late as she is today. Or maybe he didn't leave today? I'm getting worried.

I then returned to my seat to wear futsal shoes and other gear. I'm thinking about Cindy who hasn't left yet. Is it possible that Cindy didn't come in today? And if it's true, what happens to him until he doesn't come in? I was getting drowned in my daydream.

"Oi Lang, put on some really old shoes. You daydreaming again?" Ruben suddenly patted me on the shoulder from behind and left me a little surprised.

"Oh yeah, I'm thinking a little bit" replied me who refocused my futsal shoes.

"What are you thinking? Do you have any debts? Or did you forget to turn off your bathroom faucet?" said Ruben guess.

"No, not like that" I replied.

"Oi oi, about dong Ben. That galang is not you who have a lot of debt and often forget your water faucet remains on," Ahsan who looks ready to wear futsal equipment.

"I don't owe much, you're so reckless by the way" Ruben said.

"Cu-cu-ma ka-dang - sometimes really," replied Ruben stammeringly.

"Hahaha right," Ahsan laughed out loud.

"Let's go to Lang, Ben, San," Aji asked.

"Ji, Galang is still wearing shoes" replied Ruben.

"You go to the field first no papa, I will definitely follow immediately when it is finished," I replied.

"Just finish it first, we'll go to the field together" said Aji.

I then immediately finished wearing futsal gear. When we finished, we immediately went to the field together, including the other members of the class.

"Oiya, by the way, have you seen Cindy? Looks like he hasn't left yet, does anyone know?" ask me while I'm on my way to the field.

"Oiya because you're talking about Cindy I also remember that I haven't seen her today" Ruben said.

"God... Don't pretend like that, Ben. I know you must be very worried, right? Let's just say. You must have been very worried because Cindy has not come until now," Ahsan said.

"Haaa? What do you mean? I'm totally new to the thought" said Ruben, who somehow turned a little red. Even though his tongue says no, his face says otherwise.

"Hahaha your face is red. Be honest," Ahsan said again.

"Oh Cindy's. I saw this morning. He has already left. He left before the three of you came. Shortly before Galang came, Cindy had already left. When I asked him where he was going, he said he would go to the library to continue his career. He said he would be back soon if the futsal match time had come. So, it is likely that Cindy will also be present on the field later," explained Aji who made me feel calm.

Both teams are now in the middle of the field and soon the game will start. After determining who got the ball and who chose the location of the goal, now the referee is ready to blow the whistle sign of the start of the game.

The ball will first start from the 10-9 side. Prittt. The whistle signaled the start of the match had finally begun. The futsal players from 10-9 almost all come from children who follow the soccer extracurriculars, namely Didit, Rizky, Adit, and Robi. Only the goalkeeper does not come from extracurricular children of football.

According to Aji, the most dangerous player of the 10-9 class is Robi. So, we will be more focused on keeping him than on the other players. The three of us besides Renaldi will take turns to look after him.

Robi is now in possession of the ball in midfield and is being overshadowed by Aji. Robi's movements look very smooth and the ball looks like it is always attached to his feet. Wherever he dribbles, he always looks to be able to keep it.

Now Robi is trying to get past Aji. Set set, with his unexpected speed and maneuver, he managed to pass Aji and immediately ran towards the defense area. I also did not stay silent and immediately confronted him. A moment after I got before him, he cleverly passed on to his team-mates who were in an empty position.

Didit who received a mature pass from Robi was immediately kicked the ball towards the goal. Luckily, Didit's kick still hasn't hit the target and only hit the net on the outside.
