That Beautiful Teacher of mine, my Neighbor ?!

Chapter 24. Football Match (4)

This time they came together. Our defensive line came back easily. Dribbling the ball without making any mistakes. Yes, they do it without mistakes and that is their weakness as movement becomes very easy to read.

"We see, this time the two attackers advanced simultaneously ! Do they have a strategy to break into the goal ?! They were getting closer, but the goalkeeper was still silent ! Distance is almost near the goal box ! What will happen?!", said the match commentator.

"Wait a minute.wait a minute.", I murmured in my heart.

"He just kept running to dribble in front of the goalkeeper!", said the match commentator.

"Damn ! There are only two possibilities.if I go forward to block it, the first possibility of the ball will be passed to the other side, with such a close distance to the goal box the second possibility he will fire a shot so fast ? Or don't don't?!", I murmured inwardly.

I also decided to remain silent until the last seconds when he would make a move. I thought both possibilities were really very detrimental to me.

"So I decided to bet it on the third possibility!", I murmured inwardly unable to hold back a happy face.

He was also really approaching me. Immediately I stepped forward to aim for the ball that was right on both feet. Instantly it arrived - he did a skill that I had seen on a tube show, flanking the ball with both feet then lifting it and the skill was called flick up. The ball went up to pass me.

"But bo'ong!!", I muttered inwardly and stomped one of my legs to reach the ball that was directly above me.

"Not fooled !!! A flick up that failed ! The goalkeeper is really great ! Again, again and again the ball was caught!", said the match commentator.

"I've never played football before, but that doesn't mean I don't know about football!", I muttered in my heart as I threw the ball at my teammate.

The audience cheered boisterously at the match. Ball possession alternating. Time after time passed. Shot after shot I caught it. The players' stamina is running out. Arrive at the end of the game.

Priitt, Priitt~

Priiiiiiiiit~

A long whistle marking the end of the match was heard. All the spectators were back to cheering. No one expected the final score to be 0:0 without a goal. The two teams started shaking hands with each other. At that time, I was running out of stamina to stand up. Then both of the opposing team's mainstay attackers approached me. I also tried to stand up.

"There is no need to stand up" said one of them.

They both stood on my left and right side. Then support me to stand up. Then they turned to the audience by waving. At that moment the spectators cheered boisterously.

"My name is Bima.", said one of the two of them on my right side.

"While my name is Yoga".", the other.

"Can we know your name?", asked Bima.

"Of course, my name is Luki" I replied.

"We really had trouble trying to score from your goal" Bima said with a laugh.

"True, we have done various ways well without the slightest mistake" said Yoga.

"Isn't that his weakness?", I said.

"Eh.. So what does that mean?", said the two of them.

"Because you did it without the slightest mistake, that's why I can read your movements perfectly..it's easy isn't it?", I said.

"Just because of that?!", saut Bima.

"Hahahaha.", laughter Yoga.

"Ordinary people will not be able to read it as easily as that", said Bima.

"Did they praise me?", I murmured inwardly.

"Alright, next time we will definitely score from your goal in the official match", said Yoga.

"It's a pity, because I.", said I had not yet finished the words.

"Oii!!", cried Dion who was heading towards us.

"It looks like your team-mates are here, then we go first. We really enjoyed this friendly match with a great player like you. see you later..", bima said and they both left.

"What are you talking about?", asked Dion.

"It's just self-introduction", I replied.

"By the way." said Dion, shedding tears.

"Oi what - what the hell are you up to shed all tears?", my shock.

"You really did it !! Though at first we did not expect much from you, you who have never played football at all before can what try right ? You proved your point by not giving them a single goal.. But we didn't even give you one goal!", said Dion.

"Ugh shit, do you want to praise me or mock me?!", I murmured inwardly.

"That's it, let's just say it's the first step to get to the national level" I said.

They gathered around me and lifted me up while cheering. The result of this match is neither win nor lose. But take one step to achieve a goal. Then they led me to the outside of the field. After that they took me in front of Kak Na and just walked away.

"They were on purpose huh?!", I murmured inwardly in annoyance.

"Thank you for the hard work" said Kak Na while rubbing my head.

My exhausted mind became more relaxed due to the gentle strokes from Kak Na's hand.

"Did I look cool?", I asked.

"Very cool.", he answered.

I smiled at once too. Then we started to clean up the equipment. After that, me and the other guys went back to the dressing room. We also changed clothes. A few moments later we went out. There were a lot of students watching gathered at the door. They cheered us and applauded.

For a moment we gathered together to listen to the explanation from the supervising teacher. As the teachers lined up in front, there was no sight of Hana participating. After it was over and all the students and teachers had dispersed, I went around looking for Hana. After a while I didn't find it either. Finally I went to a bench with a shady tree on the other side of the area.

I also sat for a moment to enjoy the breeze - sepoi. Suddenly my eyes were closed by both palms from behind.

"Well guess who?" he said.

"Of course, Hana.", my words that know his voice.

Even though he was discovered, but he did not want to release his palms. Then suddenly he clutched my head.

"Ha.. Hana?", my saute.

"Just for a moment" he answered.

He also briefly held my head. After a while, he let go. Then he sat next to me.

"Why did it come - came to hold me?", I asked curiously.

"When I saw you with one of the students who rubbed your head earlier, I felt a little upset and went looking for fresh air around here" he said.

"Hmm, has he started to feel jealousy?", I murmured inwardly.

"Oh yes, didn't you say you were going to watch ? Why come - come play?!", asked Hana.

"Ah about that.how about we go home, I will tell you on the road.", I said.

"Well.", she said.

"By the way, did I look cool playing?", I asked.

"I don't know, I was busy watching the students" he said.

"Ehhh?!!", I said disappointedly.

We also left. On the way home, I told him the reason why I was taking part in the match.
