Should I forgive

Where Catrine disappeared

Every day they train hard. The first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, and so on exercises went smoothly.

Today is the last exercise. Sasha was there an hour before the coach arrived.

Usually Catrine has also come an hour before the coach comes, and they will warm up together.

"For sir!" Sasha said when she saw the coach coming on the field.

"Morning!"

"Where's Catrine? Tumben's not here yet. This is the last exercise!" the coach said he took his phone.

"Hello...."

"Yes. I'll be there soon."

"It's the last exercise."

"All right, I understand."

The coach then closed the phone.

The coach waited for him for almost 1 hour.

"Let's just start! He's not coming." The coach told Sasha.

"Good sir."

Catrine was having a party at one of her papa's apartments.

He doesn't practice because he celebrates his happiness. He was partying with his friends.

It turned out that he was having a party with his friends and would not come for practice at this time.

He was having fun celebrating himself who was going to the competition the day after tomorrow. One of Catrine's friends sent Rossa a message.

Rossa then relayed the message to the coach who was standing on the pitch with Sasha.

"Sir, today it looks like Catrine can't take part in training" Rossa told the coach not to wait for Catrine's arrival for the final training session.

"Yes already then. Sasha is training alone" the exam said the coach without looking upset and angry.

"I'm ready!" sasha said while standing in a ready position.

"Yes already then, we'll start with a foot warm-up first" the coach said as he looked at the watch in his hand.

They also stretch the legs so that the ankles are flexible and not stiff nor sprains occur when running fast and long.

After finishing the warm-up Sasha ran, while the coach sat and waited on the sidelines.

There was also Rossa there who deliberately waited for Sasha and gave her support.

"I've always liked Sasha's spirit and I don't like Catrine being easily satisfied with his ability, that's where his weakness is, he always underestimates the opponent's strength so as to make chances for the opponent to beat him." the coach said as he continued to pay attention to how Sasha ran and remained upbeat even though he was just a backup runner.

"Sasha's true father was eager to enter this competition and wanted to become one of the stars of advertising and become a model with a myriad of achievements. But I have taken away his dream."

"You mean?" ask the coach to Rossa.

Rossa said with deep sadness and regret.

"At that time Catherine asked when was Sasha training for the match? and I said that he trained early in the morning before sunrise" Rossa said, thinking for a moment.

Should I be honest with this coach? But I can no longer keep everything alone.

"Then what happened?" asked the coach while looking seriously at Rossa.

"So suddenly I saw Sasha being gated by the dormitory with an injured leg. There's a mysterious person who hit him."

Rossa said as she looked at Sasha who was running in front of her.

Sasha turned to them for a moment and smiled at those who were chatting. Sasha was also happy to see her best friend there to accompany her practice.

They waved their hands at Sasha.

"You mean someone intentionally harmed Sasha based on the information you provided?" said the Coach.

"Really! It's likely that Sasha is the one who doesn't want him to win and represent the University" Rossa said, staring into the grass in front of her.

"Next time don't give me any important information or anything about your best friend!" the coach then stood up because the training time was up.

"Today is enough to be here, tomorrow we don't practice, you don't go anywhere, stay in your room and you'll come to the event at the place indicated in the invitation. Get there on time don't be late! I trust you. You have to come there before the show starts" the coach told Sasha, who had finished training and is currently standing in front of the coach.

Sasha bowed her body and paid her respects and also thanked the Coach for patiently training her all along.

They thought and would meet at the venue the day after tomorrow.

Along the way in America is already crowded visitors, especially from among students who want to watch the marathon race and also provide support to friends who represent the university.

Today everyone looks so happy because they will watch the marathon race between the Universities of 1 Country.

Each university sent 2 people to take part in the match of 1 son and 1 Princess.

The minister had been sitting in a chair with the coach who was also sitting with him from earlier. They deliberately came more before the students were booming on the side of the road in the public audience.

The coach looks so calm, not with the Minister who seems agitated because Catrine said he wanted to leave early but instead had not reached the venue.

Some of his university friends had even stood up and gathered there. From afar, Sasha was also seen among the reserve runners. But I don't see Catrine anywhere.

This made the Minister agitated and tried to contact him.

The minister contacted him many times but got no answer.

The Catrine phone seems to be turned off, but the match will start in 15 minutes.

The coach was also astonished not to see Catrine there.

The minister is worried about seeing the rest of the time getting closer and is now only 15 minutes away, but Catrine is also yet to be seen among the warm-up runners behind the starting line.

"Why hasn't Catherine come yet?" ask the coach to the minister.

"Eitherway! He should have come by now. But why can he be careless like this" the minister said with annoyance.

The coach called Catrine. But apparently there is no answer.

The coach then looked at the Minister and shrugged his shoulders. The minister seemed increasingly anxious and worried.

"Now it's 5 minutes to go" said the coach.

"If Catrine doesn't come in two minutes then we're forced to use a reserve runner to go forward" the coach said.

"You're right, it's a prestigious match but your daughter didn't even come at the right time" said the Rector, who didn't want to miss the opportunity to compete and even the chance to take home the trophy.

"Live 3 more minutes" the coach said with a smile.

"Call the backup runner!" the Rector's word to the coach.

"Good Sir." The coach said then walked towards Sasha who was looking confused as well because Catrine was nowhere to be seen.

The coach approached Sasha.

"Why is Catrine not here yet when the game is about to start?" sasha said when she saw the coach coming towards her.

Sasha was also anxious and felt strange to see the coach coming with a smile on his lips.

It was as if Catrine's absence was not a problem for him.

"Go there and join the other runners! You're gonna replace Catherine."

Haaa?

"Don't waste our hope!" the coach said as he looked calmly at Sasha's face.

Whahuh?

"I'll replace Catrine!?"

What a miracle! This is amazing.

"really?"

Sasha asked in disbelief if she would finally represent her university to compete in a marathon and get a chance to become an advertising star.

The coach nodded with a smile.

"You ready?"

"Sure! I will not disappoint you and all who have supported me."

"Bring me Sir! Your rest means a lot to me" said sasa and touched his coach's feet.

"May it work!" the coach said as he patted Sasha on the shoulder.

Sasha immediately ran to the back of the starting line and prayed there for a while.

After that he stretched his legs before the committee blew his whistle so that all the participants were at the starting line.

Currently the Committee has gathered all participants and gave a warning to them.

After that the committee blew the whistle longer, and all the participants ran at full speed.

Everyone is excited to win. Hundreds of runners are just focused on looking ahead and putting all their strength into the day.

Sasha also ran with all her ability.

One hour they ran and all still looked fresh and sturdy after passing half the mileage.

They look tired and the speed is getting reduced, 3/4 the distance traveled is seen only 10 participants who compete in the front. And soon approaching the finish line there are only 5 participants who try to get ahead of each other and increase their running speed.

At the moment Sasha is running at number 4 from the front.

Sasha also adds strength and adjusts his breathing so that his heart is calm and right after not tense he can overtake 2 participants and currently Sasha is ranked number two from the front.

All his supporters kept shouting and encouraging him.

They sang and danced because Sasha was number two.

The coach smiled happily because he believed Sasha had above average ability.

He did not give up easily and did not underestimate his opponent. He is now proving his ability.

The coach then turned his head to the side and the Minister was no longer beside him.

Surely the Minister is currently looking for his daughter who is out of nowhere.

They were all trying to keep Sasha out of the game but the coach was confident that he could get Sasha into the competition. And only the coach knows what he has done so Sasha can enter this competition.

It's a big secret for a coach who believes in his student's abilities. Many doubted him but the coach believes only he can bring the trophy home.

Where is Catrine at the moment?

Someone must have made him not come to the event on purpose.

And want Sashalah who competed to represent the university.
