Should I forgive

Backup runner

Today Vano will run just like Sasha. There was no Sasha in the green field to support him. But Vano believes if he wins then Sasha will be happy too.

And they can both represent the university to win the championship.

There was Diana there who secretly admired Vano and stood among his supporters.

Vano glanced at Diana for a bit before finally running after a whistle from the coach.

Vano was still running at the front and his friends were far behind.

Up to almost close to the Finish line, his friends were unable to surpass it.

As soon as Vano got to the finish line, the coach gave him water.

All the runners were refreshed after the water was sprayed and their clothes wet. The coach and his friends congratulated him because he managed to grab his champion.

"For the men's marathon runners, Vano will represent this university and will participate in the inter-university marathon."Coach says.

Then came a question from the student who became a reporter.

"Who of the girls' group will represent the university?" Ask while bringing the phone closer to record the answer.

For a moment the coach was silent and could not give any answer.

Finally after thinking for a moment, the patient then answered a question from one of the students.

"We wait until Sasha's condition improves and can go home by a doctor. As you know Sasha is the winner of this competition. But the real competition was just about to start, and he had an injury to his leg. We'll wait until next week." The coach said then left and on the sidelines saw the Minister there with the rector.

They appear to be talking seriously and look like a smile fluffy from the corner of the Minister's lips.

What are they talking about?

While Diana ran up to Vano and congratulated him.

"From the beginning I was sure you would win! Congratulations to you!" Diana Excited.

"Thank you."

Diana sat down with Vano on the sidelines.

Rossa was crying in his room hearing a statement from the coach who said if Sasha could not necessarily follow the next competition.

And have to wait for news from the doctor about how it goes.

Suddenly Catrine came in and sat down next to Rossa.

"Gue is sad because my best friend is not necessarily able to continue this competition."

Catrine just shut up.

"His leg's hurt. So he can't run to the maximum." Catrine.

"Only you benefit from his suffering." Rossa said as she looked at the happy looking Catrine, unlike yesterday.

Today his face is so happy.

"Don't say that. I never meant to hurt him. I just want him to give up on me this time. This is my dream from childhood. And I have to get it now."

"If you want to win, practice sports events. Don't cheat and make such a shameful thing." Rossa.

"I'm afraid he's beating me. I saw his ability so great. I can't accept if he beats me." Katrine.

"But the proof is that you lost, right?" Said Rossa.

"No. We're balanced, it's just that I never thought he'd surpass me by the time I almost reached the finish line."

"You're so selfish." Said Rossa.

"I'm just trying to win."

"What victory do you mean? Sasha's gonna represent our university."

"He will not be in the next competition. The Rector won't take any chances with his injured leg and make us lose, we can't expect much from him. I'll take his place and move on to the next competition."

"You're really ambitious."

"Easy! You keep supporting her even though you know she won't forgive you, if she knows what you've done."

"Shut your mouth!" Said Rossa.

Finally Catrine left Rossa's room.

From a distance he saw Regan running and teaching the coach who would enter the Rector's office.

"The competition is soon. And he also has to train before the game. How can he exercise in recovery condition."

"But sir,"

"I'm sorry. We have no other choice. Looks like we'll make him a backup runner."

"It's not fair. He even fought to his feet until he was injured in order to enter the next competition and try to win."

"But the university is not willing to take any risks either." Said Coach.

"But Sasha still has a chance, right, if she can prove her worth."

The coach thought for a moment. Then nod.

"Yes. He has to prove he is capable. In the meantime, we'll have to ask someone else's name."

"Please wait until next week." Said Regan.

"The name must be registered tomorrow. So I'll register someone else's name as his replacement."

The coach walks into the office and Regan holds his head.

"Aasssh shit! "

"The coach must have been affected by the deceit of those who had the power to make the impossible possible."

"It's really crazy!"

"I'm sure someone set this all up. Sasha getting hit is no coincidence. Someone intentionally injured him. And who else could do such a lowly thing?"

Regan then looked at the clock. And she ran out of the house thinking she had promised to see Sasha today.

Regan picked up the bike and drove straight to the hospital where Sasha was still being treated.

"I thought you weren't coming." Sasha said when she saw Regan coming in.

"There was business for a minute, just now. So I'm late here."

"Tomorrow is the registration of the name that will participate in the competition. Will my name be there?" Ask Sasha.

"Focus on your health first. If your legs heal you can run. But if your foot hurts, how you're going to run, even if your name is there, you still can't come if your foot still hurts."

"Does that mean someone else is replacing me? Is it not my name listed there?" Sasha asked with a worried face.

"We'll see tomorrow. I haven't seen your coach." Regan said she was lying.

"If you meet him, ask can I join the competition? Regan, after getting out of here I'm going to practice and I can definitely run faster. I promise, I'll make you proud."

Regan is very sad to see Sasha. But what should he do?

Earlier this morning it was even clear if someone else's name would be registered and not Sasha's. But if he were to tell the truth then Sasha would definitely be very sad.

And this could be bad for his psychic. He'll lose so much to heal.

Suddenly the doctor who was going to check on Sasha came in and gave Sasha's progress report paper to Regan.

"Would his legs recover this one week Doctor?"

The doctor then looked at Regan and then looked at Sasha.

The doctor shook his head.

"That means I can't run anymore?" Sasha asked who saw the reaction from the doctor.

"May, but not anytime soon. You're still in recovery, and if you move too often, you won't recover much faster." Said doctor.

"But I have to enter the next competition doctor."

The doctor shook his head.

"Better not first. Your injury could be worse if you run any time soon. The muscles will work harder and they are still not ready. You could suffer even worse." The doctor said.

"What the doctor said was true Sasha. You better not be in the next tournament. You can go to next year's tournament for the national class." Regan said she gave Sasha some encouragement.

***

Sasha got a message from one of her friends.

There's a screenshot in his wa message. Slowly Sasha looked at the screen and she looked for a name that might be listed there.

There is no name, which is precisely the name Catrine there who is registered to enter the next competition.

Slowly his tears fell and wet the screen on his cellphone. Suddenly the door opened and there was Diana and Vano. Sasha is looking for her best friend Rossa, but her best friend is nowhere to be seen.
