Raffa who will play in the second match took the time to see the first match.

"The others haven't come yet?" raffa said to Armand.

"Hooh I just met Haris with Evran, they said" Armand replied.

"Gue wants everyone here, because whoever wins this game will be our next opponent if we qualify" Raffa said seriously.

"Yes too, yes I have info they all let's quickly come here" replied Armand while removing his phone.

Along with Armand and Evran Raffa also walked towards the audience stands.Some spectators who began to familiar many whispered when they saw him.

"Did you play today?" ask one female audience to them.

"Yes after this match" Armand replied with a pede.

"May win yes, greetings the very front" said the woman grinned.

"I don't say hi Mba?" sahut Haris blinked one eye.

"Ihhh no, other than less good-natured" he replied.

"Haha checkmate lo" said Armand satisfied.

"Si neng if you like really haha" said Evran also mocked.

"Euh the rich Mba is not lacking, besides being impolite lack of feeling" said Harris melas.

"Whahaha have not cried so let's just tuh Alnya just sat there" said Armand still gigakakakan.

Finally they sat together while watching the match that had just started.Tak long other friends joined them.

Raffa looks focused on someone he has seen before.The player of the Jaya Taruna team no12 was the person he saw with Aurel.

"The guy turned out to play in this tournament too" Raffa muttered so shocked.

"Al seriously very lo, is there anything in mind?"

"Eh no, you all have to pay attention to this match.See their weaknesses and strengths yes" said Raffa slightly ngeles.

"Ok Al understands" said Armand most vigorously.

"What's so important about the match?" ask Adi plain.

"Euh the dodol, if you do not miss later.Kalo we qualify, who won in this match will be our opponent ... Ade Londoookkk.Anjirrrr really" said Welly so anxious while pinching Adi's cheek.

"Anjirr the codot is very nervous, sodara is carried 'Odading Mang By, it feels like you are becoming ironman, sharks eat tomatoes lo goblok' satisfied lo goblok!" reply Adi so want to be satisfied.

Suddenly everyone laughed so amusedly.So did Welly who laughed curled up.

"Haha lo di anuratin si Adi tuh Vran, in the goblok-goblokin even laughs lo seneng"

"Muke lo crust the skillet, make you gobloknya" replied Evran annoyed.

While Raffa himself continues to pay attention to the mainstay of cadets.He starts to feel bad when he starts to know who exactly that person always looks at.

Regardless of the others, Raffa was seen moving towards the bench behind a girl who always cared for the player.

"It turns out, Aurel is the one he always looks out for" Raffa's murmur seriously took care of the course of the match while occasionally glancing at Aurel.

During the game a lot of Aditya did to attract the attention of Aurel.From the blink of an eye to sending an air kiss.

"Al! soon we play, time to get ready" cried Armand disperse the attention of Raffa.

Without answering Raffa immediately approached Armand towards the dressing room.Aurel was so surprised when he saw Raffa walking right from behind him.

"Al's? since when was he there?" aurel's gumption looks riled up.

"Raffa!" Aurel spontaneously called out in anxiety.

Raffa just turned his head while waving his hand and then walked back to the dressing room.

"Kok he's cold that way, is it because of Aditya's attitude huh? let's not let him see it all" Aurel started to feel bad.

Aurel was not able to enjoy the rest of the first match.Lama dissolved in his gnaw Aurel looks intent on looking for Raffa.

"Where are you going? sit down again, I will, I bring you drinks" said Aditya, holding his shoulder

"But, I have to" Aurel replied.

But Aurel did not step foot, when players from both teams who will play in the second match entered the field.

On the other hand, the spectator bench Ryo and Luna accompanied by the team was so enthusiastic waiting for Raffa to play.

Before long they sat Luna in shock at someone she had long been waiting for news.

"Arena? Alena!" luna cried when she saw it.

In a hurry he then approached Alena who had just arrived.With a radiant face Alena also greeted Luna with a hug.

"Alena how are you? where the hell is new to look" said Luna while putting on a pouting face.

"I'm so good, sorry, lately I rarely find you.Honestly I miss you very much, especially you" replied Alena and then pinched both cheeks Luna.

"Ish you are in what squishy think yes" said Luna then pinched Alena's chin while giggling.

Before long they soon joined the others.Aanya Alena adds to the atmosphere to be more alive.

"You're alone Alena?" ask Ryo curiously.

"Yes, papah wanted to come but there was no unfinished work he said" Alena replied.

Their chat was stopped when the second game was started.Two players buana team did look high.

Relying on the two players, the team buana more attacking directly into the area in the ring.

Raffa who play under the form can not help much.Making his team immediately left behind.

Unlike usual he does not hold much of the ball, always passing and letting his friends make decisions.

"What the hell is the same Al, ugly very play.Wel lo in replace the Al" said Ricky look upset.

When the dead ball Raffa was pulled out in place of Welly.The sea of disappointed faces seen on him were also the people who supported him.

"Si Al why the hell, really bad when he was sick" said Ryo while sighing.

"It seems I know yank, but this is my guess anyway" Luna replied as she clearly looked at Aurel.

"You mean?" asked Ryo while following the direction of Luna's view as well as Alena did not want to miss.

They could clearly see Aurel sitting with a man who looked pretentious close to him.

"Aurel who's yank?" Ryo was curious.

"That's Aditya, we used to be in High School and he's the idol of a lot of people including ... Aurel" said Luna who made everyone surprised.

Meanwhile, the half-time break was used by Ricky to review his team's weaknesses.

"Gue don't know what's going on but you guys play really bad, especially lo Al, if you're sick you should not have to make a play.Liar Welly who plays the rest of the game time"

"Sorry coach if we have to stop here I'm still proud to be able to play together.Suntil here I've been happy" said Adi.

"Yes coach, all this is also inseparable from the role of Al, if we will not run out from the beginning" Evran added.

"Al I just want to say thank you for everything.Since you are in the team, you have changed us for the better.In return for the rest of the time we promise to play as much as possible, even if we lose at least come home with our heads held high" Armand said earnestly.

"Ok, let's show that we're not a weak team" Ricky said, clapping loudly.

Before they went back to fighting Armand said to Raffa,

"I'm sorry if we let you down, and I'm sorry we couldn't keep our promise to take you to the final" he said, patting Raffa on the shoulder.

Then they returned to the field leaving Raffa pensive with his face in the towel.

The third quarter started without Raffa being on the pitch.

Aurel himself was increasingly restless seen from himself who could not stand still.Movement of his feet made Aditya even realize it.

"You why? it was so agitated that it seemed, was it because the team had lost?" ask Aditya full of probes.

"What the hell Lo, sorry I want to find someone" replied Aurel short.

"Well wait until it's over, who's going to come and where's Aurel?" aditya said while holding Aurel's arm.

"It's up to me, it's up to me where I'm going" Aurel said, then left.

While his friend's worry was answered already when Raffa came out of the players' dressing room aisle.

Alena was so happy to see him that reflexes screamed,

"Raffa! I'm sure with you, you can definitely win!"

"Arena!?" raffa's Germans then looked towards him.

Alena also waved her hand in following Ryo, Luna and the others.

Aurel who had not been far away looked at Alena with so much surprise.

Raffa was with the team on the bench.

"Coach sorry about before, but this time I'm ready.Gue must make an appointment to the final with them" said Raffa so seriously.

Before long Raffa was in place of Welly.The difference was immediately felt because Raffa returned to his best condition.

"Seneng lo back Al" said Armand.

"This is what I'm waiting for from Lo Al, we always need lo" Adi chimed in.

"Guys, thank you for believing me, we still lost 45-58.In the last quarter we legalized them through the shooting we've been practicing.You're ready!" raffa is so excited.

"Siaaaapp!" yell them together.

Quarter four was started, Raffa team play more solid again. Through accurate shots they began to catch up.

Raffa also Armand continued to stick tight two players high team buana.Making them difficulty scoring.

Through quick counter-attacks with rapid player rotation, Raffa who escaped the escorts moved into the 3-point area.

"Vran's passing!" raffa asked for the ball.

Shortly after getting the pasing without hesitation Raffa immediately shot.Bola still soared Raffa ran backwards while raising his hand.

"Three point yes!" exciting Raffa.

"Yeay you're great Raffa!" exclaiming Alena.

"Behb so nice so good!" ryo shouted along.

Raffa then smiled as he raised his hand with two fingers open towards Alena and the others.

The match was already in the final 30 seconds with the score getting thinner 69-70 for the buana team.

When the team attacked through high players.Raffa continued to stick tight by lowering his body.With the right timing Raffa brushed the ball until released and captured it.

"Fast break!" raffa gave the code.

Evran and Adi who were in the outer area suddenly ran fast to attack.Raffa without hesitation tossed the ball towards Adi who then passed to Evran.

Evran without an escort easily scored with his easy layup.Making his team 71-70 ahead with 5 seconds left

In the remaining 5 seconds the team buana can not do much.Hurried attacking make their shot misses far.

"Yeeaaahhhhhh! Alhamdulillah" cried Raffa as he raised his hand.

"We won, we won" Armand said, laying on the pitch.

"Yes won again Al!" evran then jumped onto Raffa's lap.

On the other they embraced with a feeling of joy.

Alena and the others also approached Raffa who also approached them,

"Al congratulations yes, you are great" Alena congratulated.

"They are great Hehe Alena, I just support them" said Raffa did not want to continue to be praised.

Without them expecting Aurel also approached him with Aditya who did not want to be far from him.

"Raffa congratulations on his victory, I'm happy to see it" Aurel said a little awkwardly.

"Yes thank you" said Raffa, smiling.

"Eh congratulations, but it looks like we will meet in the semi-finals" Aditya said as he extended his hand.

"Thank, yes we will meet in the semi-finals" Raffa said, replying to his hand.

"Gue is not an easy opponent you conquer, you should practice more" said Aditya confidently.

"Thank you for the advice, I will remember all that" said Raffa, who held Aditya's hand firmly.

The two captains of this team also looked at each other with intimidating gazes.Psychological war was already spread Aditya.

On the other hand Aurel occasionally looked at Alena and vice versa.As if they were in the middle of psychological warfare version of their own.
