I watched the basketball practice that would soon begin, next to me there was also brother Nandito and brother Vera who also watched the basketball game, which was also, the coach was busy shouting instructions to the children and I was very amazed to see the skills of Bara who was no less great with Alvaro even though I knew the way Alvaro played basketball was incomparable with children other basketball teams include with Bara's own kak.
I was so enthusiastic that I stood up and shouted excitedly to see Brother Bara who threw the basketball into the ring with double points, as well as Vera's brother who pranced with joy, when I was cool to see the basketball game accidentally I saw Brother Vera who held a banner of support for Brother Bara with the words SPIRIT MY LOVE BARA I was suddenly lethargic and no longer excited to watch basketball practice until the daydreaming me didn't see the ball go and almost hit my head.
"TALITA..... WATCH OUT!!!" yelled at Nandito and the other basketball teams,
I turned around and saw that the basketball was so close to my face that it was hard for me to avoid it.
"Arkhich...." I screamed loudly while covering my face with both arms,
Bara and Alvaro who see Talita in danger they run to save him as quickly as possible, Alvaro nimbly held the ball with his hand so that the ball did not reach Talita but his hands became a little red and so tight lebab to withstand the impact of the ball is not imagined if it reaches the ball about Talita's head I don't know what's going to happen, while on the other side, Bara actually made his body as a shield he stood and stretched his body right in front of Talita while behind him Alvaro was holding the ball at the expense of his hands.
It became Talita thought that brother Bara had saved him.
"Bronghi..." The sound of the basketball hitting Alvaro's hand was quite loud,
I closed my eyes tightly until when I opened my eyes there was a brother Bara in front of me he stood in front of me and seemed to be a shield to protect me from the basketball earlier, so that I thought it was Bara's feet that saved me, my breath roaring and my feet drowning Bara's feet swept me to the sidelines and sat me in a chair, I saw Alvaro walking up to me holding his hand, I looked at him in wonder.
"Talita are you okay?" Ask Brother Bara who turned my eyes away from Alvaro,
"A..I'm fine, brother, how about you, does the ball hit you?" I answered and asked back, because I was worried about her too,
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me" replied Brother Bara,
"Thank you for saving you" I said with a smile,
On the other hand Alvaro who was about to approach Talita because he still felt anxious about his condition heard the remark from Talita who thought Bara saved him he immediately left the court as well as the basketball team who rest after the incident.
"Talita actually...." Brother Bara's words stopped because he was pulled by force by Brother Nandito just like that,
The whispering brand talked to each other in the corner a little far away from where I was sitting.
"This is your chance to take Talita's heart, because he thinks you helped him, so don't let him know if Alvaro is the real person" Nandito whispered to Bara,
"But what if Talita finds out I lied to her?" Ask Brother Bara feeling anxious,
"He'll forgive you if he loves you later" Nandito replied and patted Bara on the shoulder to reassure her.
"What did you want to talk to?" I was curious, though,
"Ah no I still have to gather with the others you better go back to class it's time to go home" replied Brother Bara who made me more curious.
But because I believed it I didn't think about it all too far and immediately went back to class when I saw Alvaro was gone when as far as I was clear once I saw Alvaro was about to walk up to me with a face that was anxious but suddenly disappeared from my sight.
"Did I see it wrong?" Mumamku astonishment.
I immediately went to class and when I saw Alvaro's bag was not on his desk I thought he had gone home first I decided to go home until the moment in my parking lot seeing Alvaro on his bike I intended to run after him but my hand was held back by Brother Bara and he invited me to drive home, I nodded because I saw Alvaro had also gone far.
Since that incident I became much closer to Brother Bara even when I came home from school that day, Brother Bara also drove me to work and he picked me up when I came home from work, when I came home from work I also had a meal together and chatted with each other a lot with Kak Bara, I felt happy because I was getting closer to the people I loved, he said, but sometimes there is something different with my heart that actually feels there is something different when close to Brother Bara, my heart is not as happy as before.
*****
Since the incident on the field, Alvaro seemed to disappear in the swallow of the earth he did not meet with Alvaro again when it could not be denied when he saw Alvaro approaching him, Talita desperately hopes Alvaro is worried about him or just ask his circumstances but instead Alvaro has to go where.
The day of the race arrived, I was ready to go to the race and I also had an appointment to go with Mr. Bara, for some reason along the way I felt something strange in myself.
"Why do I feel unhappy when I'm very close to the person I like" murmured I was astonished by myself,
I thought about it all and tried to blow away all the thoughts that were troubling my brain.
Until arriving at the race hall from afar I saw Alvaro and I ran up to him intending to greet him and ask him the news because yesterday I did not see him again when I returned to the classroom.
"All... Alvaroo..." I called him, I called him,
I clearly saw Alvaro looking at me but he just turned his face away as if he did not want to see my face he left me I stopped chasing him and my feelings somehow hurt getting treated like that from Alvaro.
"Why I feel pain shouldn't I be glad he doesn't want to be close to me anymore, now I don't have to argue with him anymore" I said.
"But why did he arrive like he was away from me, strange" I muttered again who was still astonished.
I daydreamed about everything until Brother Bara called me and invited me to the sidelines, I immediately sat in a special seat for the VIP audience and I was able to get the front seat as well thanks to the card that Kak Bara had given me earlier.
