...*****...
The break has sounded. All students have free time to rest for 30 minutes. They did not waste the opportunity to fill their stomachs to the cafeteria, some prefer to stay in class or read books in the library.
The school basketball team will hold the last practice before the basketball game with another school that will be held in 2 more days on Wednesday. So, they will practice until the afternoon.
Rifki, one of the basketball members and his classmate Alvino. He came from outside after he finished changing his clothes and then approached the table Alvino who was talking to his beloved sister Allia. Rifki sees Alvino already wearing his basketball jersey not forgetting the one attached to his left hand which indicates that Alvino is the captain of his basketball team.
"Al!" call Rifki.
Both Alvino and Allia, they both turned to Rifki because all he called was "Al. Not by his full name to make it clearer who Rifki was referring to.
Rifki chuckles at him. "I mean Captain Al." Rifki looked at Allia. "Hai Al," Rifki said to Allia who was replied with a smile by Allia.
"What?" ask Alvino.
"We're training?" ask Rifki.
One eyebrow Alvino raised. "Why ask again if you already know the answer?" alvino Carcass.
"alright. My point is, all the basketballs in school suddenly deflated (Less gas/loose). Last time I saw the ball was fine. But today everything is deflated, now how can we practice?" Rifki looked at Alvino who was frowning like he was thinking about something.
"When did you last check it?" ask Alvino.
"Yesterday afternoon" replied Rifki.
How could something like this happen when they were going to practice for an important inter-school match that would be held tomorrow? If only one ball is deflated, it probably makes sense. But this is not a coincidence if all basketball is deflated. Yes, Alvino is sure of that.
"Why did you go to school on Sunday?" ask Allia astonished.
Rifki showed her grin so that it made her eyes like closed because of the squinty.
"You can't know Al. It's a man's business." Rifki said while raising her eyebrows.
Allia rolled her eyeballs.
"Pump up all the balls, I wait on the field" Alvino told him. He has the right to rule because he is the captain of his team. No one dared to argue with him either.
"The pump is gone, so I'm telling you Al" said Rifki, staring at Alvino.
Alvino thought for a moment then stood up from his chair, Allia holding Alvino's wrist making the owner turn.
"Al wants to come," said Allia.
Alvino was silent for a while then he nodded. "You should always be around me during practice. You understand Al?"
With the spirit Allia nodded. "Yes Brother Al!"
Rifki who saw it rolled his eyes panted at the romance between his Captain and his sister. Unlike the Rifki who if he met his sister immediately reviled him and ended up with his sister crying because of his actions. His sister likes to complain to her parents. Rifki is exhausted with her mother's chatty scolding and her sister laughs satisfied to see herself being nagged by her mother.
Given that Rifki shuddered in horror. Allia who saw that raised her eyebrows as if asking. "Why?"
Rifki. There was no way he would tell them, there he would be laughed at by the two of them because his relationship with his sister was reciprocal with Allia and Alvino who always attached attention as well.
Alvino and Allia walked side by side while Rifki walked behind them both. Rifki sighed lamenting her fate.
Unbeknownst to Allia, Alvino and Rifki, on the other end of the street, Geo overhears the conversation between the three of them. More precisely he eavesdropped on the conversation earlier. She pretends to be busy with her phone while reading Sheila's last message.
...Shee...
Geo do you know? Actually Mona and I were planning something. Last morning we deflated all the basketballs so Alvino couldn't practice. After that I will come and be a savior for him. Alvino must be happy and he'll soon be my girlfriend!
Geo's eyes rounded up reading Sheila's message. Apparently his upperclassman had lost his mind. How could Geo tell them if Sheila was the cause. In order to get the attention of Alvino, the woman did various ways that were beyond ordinary human common sense.
Ck. There was this woman's doing. Inner Geo.
...*****...
Geo walked to the cafeteria to approach Sheila because the woman asked for it. I don't know what Geo's goal is yet to know for sure, but he will soon find out when he sees Sheila and Mona waving their hands at him.
"GEO HERE!" shouting Mona.
Sheila held her ears buzzing from hearing Mona's scream and then hit the owner of the voice.
"Oh." Mona complained of the pain and then turned to Sheila. "Shey's sick!"
"Diminish your voice!" sheila.
Mona smiled broadly. Makes Sheila cluck.
As usual, Geo approached a special table they often occupied. No one dared to sit at that table, if anyone sat it would have been exhausted in Sheila's hands in shame.
The table was filled with food. "Why are you fighting?" geo asked while sitting on the chair right in front of Sheila and Mona.
Only this made him bear to face the two women before him. They always treat themselves to eat as much as possible without spending a penny. Remember, that's all. If not, maybe Geo has taught them a lesson because of their behavior, behavior, and way of thinking that is very inappropriate and unexpected.
Geo ate the meatballs that Sheila had ordered for him without listening to Sheila and Mona's chatter about his plan, occasionally he nodded so that the two women before him would not get angry. Take responsibility if he only eats half a portion, after all according to Geo delicious canteen food. So, it's very profitable for him.
"And after that, the basketball team didn't train and Alvino would get angry. I'll bring the pump to Alvino. If it was like that, he would think if I was a savior for him and the school. And what happened next was ..," Sheila said hanging up her words.
"Alvino will like me and be my girlfriend!"
Hearing that Geo was choked by his meatballs. He coughed and grabbed the drink offered by Mona. Geo sipped his drink until it ran out.
"Geo why are you?!" sheila panicked.
Geo shook his head and held onto his chest which still felt shocked from choking on the meatballs. Sheila's words were very unhealthy for her.
After feeling better, Geo said, "What if your plan fails?"
"Yes, Shei. What if our plan fails?" reset Mona.
"That can't happen! We've hidden the pump in a safe place, Mon" Sheila said.
Mona nodded and smiled. "You're right Shei, our plan must work."
"Indeed, where did you hide the pump?" ask Geo.
"In the ladies' room."
...*****...
The basketball players have gathered on the court, just waiting for Alvino and Rifki who have not come because they took the basketball in the storage room for tools for the sport. They all don't know if Alvino and Rifki are in trouble because all the basketballs are deflated and the pumps are gone.
"Why did all this happen?" alvino asked, beginning to feel confused to see all the basketballs deflated before him.
Allia closed her mouth in shock because she saw it all.
"Find the pump until you meet," tell Alvino who is owned by Rifki.
The three of them were looking for a pump device around the room. After searching all over the place, the pump was not found and it made Alvino frustrated.
Alvino looked at Rifki. "You go out onto the field and tell them to stretch while waiting for me, me and Allia will catch up soon."
"Alright," said Rifki leaving the brothers with a vague feeling. Are the two of them going to find the pump and follow him to the field soon? What would he say to his team's children about this? Never mind, Rifki better do what Alvino clearly ordered to go to the field and stretch while waiting for Alvino and Allia to come.
Allia held Alvino's hand. "Sir Al is calm, we'll find him."
"It's the last practice, and I've made a mistake this big Al." Alvino grabbed his own hair.
"No, this is not the fault of Al. Let's go find one more time."
Alvino nodded and looked for his pumping device once more.
Allia's phone vibrated indicating that a message was coming from Clara. The woman asked where Allia was because she did not see Allia in her class. Allia told Clara everything. Clara will be coming to help him.
...*****...
Clara breathed a sigh of relief from having urinated. After coming from the toilet, she would approach Allia to help her. He cleaned his hands first to be clean. When he wanted to get out of the toilet, he saw a strange object in the toilet that hung behind the toilet door.
"What's that?" murmured Clara while walking closer to the thing wrapped in a black crackle.
When it was right in front of his eyes, his hand moved taking a black swipe and looking at it. His eyes rounded immediately at the tool that Allia had just called.
Pump tool. Clara found it in the toilet. Why did this happen? Has anyone forgotten to bring him here? Or maybe accidentally put it here? But, for what? Many questions popped up in his brain.
Clara who regained consciousness came straight out of the toilet and walked quickly to the gym to give the pump that was needed by Allia. Or rather Alvino. But he thinks it's the same.
Clara had arrived at the door of the room. The door was closed, Clara knocked on it while calling out Allia's name.
"Al's? It's me, Clara."
The open door revealed Alvino with his face in disarray. Clara understood, Alvino must be very dizzy because he was looking for a pump tool that could train for inter-school matches.
Alvino tells Clara to come in. Allia saw Clara carrying something in her hand.
Clara smiled thrusting it at Alvino.
"This is the pump."
