The Cowardly Yuria

Chapter 12 Special Edition Book of Gyou

Yuri's new twilight came home, pedaling a bicycle in a tired state after going around making her legs feel sore. But he was quite happy even though during that time he only listened to Rapka babble, he thought if there was Imel would be more exciting.

She lay her body on the bed for a moment and was closed, but the voice of the grandmother who called her to dinner immediately made her rise instantly.

"Is your job done?" ask grandma at dinner.

Yuri nodded in response.

"You haven't opened the package from your mother yet" said the grandmother as if reminded.

"I'll see you later" Yuri said.

After eating Yuri back into his room, saw the package placed on his desk he got up and saw.

When knowing the contents of the special edition book from Gyou of course Yuri gasped in shock, a smile bloomed from her lethargic face earlier. But then that smile turned into a daydream, he remembered Rapka who also wanted the book.

turning to Rapka's notebook an idea popped into his head, maybe he could start a conversation with this one reason. His mind also began to compose a lot of words, sorting it until it was composed a decent sentence.

But on Monday morning when he came back he met Rapka in the bike parking lot even there was not a single word he could say, as Rapka greeted him he simply nodded and smiled behind his long unraveling hair.

The guts he had accumulated since last night instantly, the order of words that had been neat in his mind scattered somewhere. All that remained was just a desire, making his eyes fixed on Rapka throughout the lesson until the break.

"Yuri!" call Imel for the third time.

"You haven't eaten your provisions yet" he said, making Yuri stare at his box of supplies that are still intact.

"You why?" the question is quite curious and worried.

Yuri only shook her head, unable to tell her about her turmoil just because she wanted to say hello and chat with Rapka.

"Are you sick?" ask Imel again.

"I'm fine" said Yuri so Imel stopped asking.

He began to eat his provisions, while Imel though still curious but did not try to ask again. He already understood the nature of Yuri and understood that if Yuri did not want to answer it meant that he did not want to be disturbed.

The rest hour passed quickly, this time Yuri left his provisions that made Imel unable to take his eyes off him. He was really curious what was happening to Yuri to make him not excited, indeed every day he looked lethargic but this was different from usual.

Still secretly looking at Rapka, still trying to gather courage in the end until Yuri returned home school not even dare to reprimand.

His spirit that dropped made his performance also decreased, during practice Yuri made many mistakes like he just joined.

Finished the club activities while changing clothes Imel tried to ask again just to make sure the situation, but Yuri still kept her mouth shut and shook her head as usual.

Walking lazily towards the bicycle parking lot Yuri stopped when he saw Rapka talking with Noah while taking his bike, he was silent watching Rapka who led his bike.

Walking beside Noah until he finally went out the gate and was lost at the turn, making one wound that Yuri himself created due to his cowardly nature.

Exhaling a long breath, the trip home by bicycle feels more tiring than usual. Until at home was tired it makes Yuri immediately lay down on the bed, his eyes felt heavy and ready to be closed but even until the night became late he could not sleep.

Suddenly a water flowed from the corner of her eye, Yuri tried to hold it but she was unable to.

When he realized the sun had risen, he woke up and found his eyes swollen from crying all night.

Preparing to go to school, he saw Rapka's notebook, sighing he decided not to torture himself by struggling. He will only return the notebook and thank you, while the special edition of Gyou will remain on his closet shelf.

Arriving at school this time there were many students who came, when entering the class Noah and Imel also came.

"Yuri! I don't think you're going in" said Rapka.

"This is your note, thank you," he handed me the book.

"Oh you're done apparently" Rapka said.

Yuri just smiled slightly then sat in her chair, this time she returned to being the usual Yuri although she still occasionally stole a glance at Rapka.

"Tomorrow there's a futsal tournament, you wanna watch it?" imel asked in between their lunches.

"Come," said Yuri who was feeling lazy.

"I want to give support to our school team, especially to Reid. Although different classes but he is the only second-class child who became a core player, Rapka should also participate in the tournament," said Imel who now attracts the attention of Yuri.

"You mean?" tanyakanya.

"From second grade Reid and Rapka are the core players of our school futsal club, their game is very good especially Rapka. When he was the first class who scored the most goals, unfortunately some time ago he had an accident and the doctor did not allow him to participate in the game."

Now you know Yuri the reason behind the sad face of Rapka that he often sees when Rapka is alone, this makes him feel sorry.

"At the moment he must be very sad, although the coach still allows him to enter the club but he is not allowed to join the team during the game. I understand his feelings" said Imel as if he felt he was the unlucky one.

Yuri nodded and did not say much anymore, her mind immediately thought about Rapka's misfortune.

Back the desire that he had buried came to the surface, strands of words that had been scattered one by one he picked up to be a whole sentence while staring at the special edition book Gyou.

"I should be able to!" talk to yourself on a late night.

His determination has been rounded, in the morning with a special edition book Gyou he breathes the air greedily and then exhales slowly.

Riding his bike at high speed he thought everything would be easy if done quickly, so glide him. Arriving at school apparently Rapka has not come, so he was forced to wait there while continuing to gather courage.

"Yuri what are you doing?" ask Rapka who didn't come by when.

Shocked Yuri petrified, his mind that had been filled with empty words for a moment.

"What's wrong?" ask Rapka because Yuri looks shocked.

Shaking Yuri's head immediately pulled out the book and thrust it into Rapka, of course it made Rapka shocked.

"This is for you!" yuri exclaimed while forcing Rapka to accept the book because Rapka was only glued.

Without waiting for Rapka to speak he immediately ran away, making Rapka even more confused. But after he saw the book was a book that he had always wanted Rapka to smile happily and promised to repay Yuri's kindness at a later time.
