Vica
Let me play
That morning in the dormitory of Taruma State School…
“Shil, Shila!’’ Vika panics when she finds Shila delirious and her temperature is very high. Soon Vika takes water and a towel to compress Shila.
“Please wait, I'll get you medicine.’’ Vika then went to the UKS.
“You're looking for what Vik?’’ Doctor Lina asked when she saw Vika who was looking for something in the medicine box in the UKS.
“Medicine aunty, Shila fever. So I I'm here to take medicine for him.’’ Vika replied, he was a little surprised because his aunt was in school this early.
“Foam?’’ Ask Doctor Lina.
“Iya, it looks like because of the rain when playing football yesterday!’’ Vika is short.
“Then, let aunty check on him!’’ Doctor Lina offered, Vika agreed and they immediately headed to the dormitory.
“He should take a full break for 3 days. So for today's match, auntie suggests she not follow him.’’ Said Doctor Lina.
Hearing that Vika was a little surprised and confused why the tantenya know that today there is a football match.
“Don't be surprised so, auntie knows because yesterday Sarah asked help aunt to send one of the doctors to the football game to keep an eye on the condition of the players for the next week.’’ Obviously Doctor Lina answered the question in mind Vika.
“This is the prescription of the drug, you can take it at..’’ Doctor Lina's words were interrupted because seeing Vika already holding the medicine she wrote was prescribed, “You know those drugs?’’ Aunt is confused.
“Em,’’ Say Vika briefly, “Then I will make it porridge.’’ Reciprocity.
“Tante also have to go to the hospital, then aunt stay yes.’’ Aunty then left.
“Tante,” Say Vika stop step Doctor Diana, “Thanks.’’ Said later.
A smile rose on Doctor Lina's face, although she was a little surprised Vika wanted to thank you like that, but she was happy that Vika was slowly starting to change.
“Shil, wake. You have to take medicine, so you eat first yes!’’ Pinta Vika then petrified Shila to sit down and then fed her and helped her to take medicine. After finishing Vika went to clean the kitchen. Then when he came back…
“Lho, where is he?’’ Vika is confused when she sees Shila's empty mattress, she checks it into the bathroom but does not find it.
‘Don't...’ Vika immediately grabbed the HP that was on her mattress and contacted Shila but the sound of HP Shila was in her room, yes exactly under the pillow.
He quickly pulled out someone's number and…
“Vika, where are you? The match will start soon. Quickly we lack players.’’ Riva said across before Vika said anything.
“Ye? Ow, I...’’ Not yet Vika finished her words, Riva has already hung up. It seems like the match has already started Vika thought. He immediately ran to the stadium.
The stadium where the match…
“Sorry I'm late, it's jammed really.’’ Shila said with sweat soaking her body.
“Shila, you look pale. You okay?’’ Riva was worried to see Shila's pale face.
“Times anyway?’’ Shila asked as she wiped the sweat with her hands, “It looks like this is because I ran from the end of the road there earlier. But I'm fine, I'll change clothes soon!’’ Shila then went to the dressing room.
Meanwhile, Vika who tried to find a taxi, never found it until he decided to run to the stadium.
“Vika, where are you going?’’ Aunty asked when she saw Vika running on the sidewalk.
“Tante,’’ Vika stop running, “Can aunt take me to the stadium?’’ Vika asked while panting.
“Aliklah,’’ Say aunty immediately without asking anything to Vika because she saw Vika like that she knew that something was happening.
Doctor Lina's car quickly drove towards the stadium where the ball game.
“Thank you aunt, I have to go.’’ Vika then entered the stadium.
“Shila.’’ Vika was speechless, she saw Shila play well despite having to endure the pain.
While looking at Shila who was playing, he slowly walked to the edge of the field.
“Vika!’’ Said Brother Rian when he saw Vika entering the field, he immediately approached Vika, “You are here,?’’ Rian asked the stunned Vika.
“Stop the match ka, stop Shila!’’ Pinta Vika's.
“Ye? You mean?’’ Rian is confused about the word Vika.
“Shila is sick, she can't play like this!’’ Vika.
For a moment his eyes and Shila clashed, but Shila did not budge, he continued his game despite knowing the meaning of Vika's view.
“Correctly, the game..’’ Rian realizes there is something strange with the game Shila, “Vi, do pe…’’ Rian could not continue his words when he saw Silvi's leg bandaged due to injury in the previous match, he said, he soon realized that there were no more players who could replace Shila.But if Shila's condition was not possible, it would be better for them to play with ten players.
"All right." Rian.
“But we don't have another backup player, Kak!’’ Silvi was confused.
“I. I'll play. Aren't I on the reserve player list?’’ Vika said while asking Rian, making Rian surprised to hear it, “I will replace him!’’ Reciprocity.
“Vik.’’ Rian didn't know what to say.
“Please lend me uniform, Vi!’’ Pinta Vika on Silvi sitting in the spare seat.
“You don't need to borrow anyone's uniform, you're a member of this team. And this is your uniform!’’ Obviously Silvi while giving a uniform with the number 28 back that is still wrapped neatly.
Although he looks doubtful, butu he still took the uniform.
“You can do it Vik, you can definitely.’’ Rian gave support to Vika, however he could do nothing but support. And he is very confident that Vika can play well.
Two minutes later Rian asked for a change of players. Shila and the others were shocked because as far as they knew, they had no other reserve players. The 5 reserve members had already entered the field while the other core members were feverish from the rain in the 3 consecutive days of matches.
“Shila, come out.’’ Rian said to the silent Shila,.
“Why is sister replacing me?’’ Shila is confused, she knows there is no reserve player .
“You cannot continue this match, Vika asks you to exit.’’ Answer Rian.
“But, we have no other backup player Kak.’’ Said Shila, “Silvi is also injured, she is unlikely..’’ Connect Shila when she sees Silvi.
“I. I'll replace you.’’ Vika cut off Shila's words.
“Vi, Vika.’’ Shila is surprised to see Vika wearing a soccer uniform, as well as her other friends. They don't believe what they see.
“Rest.’’ Vika then entered the field.
“But Vik, your foot..’’ Shila worried considering the injury suffered Vika.
“Shila,’’ Vika said high-pitched and with a heavy heart Shila was out of the field.
“Please, he'll be fine!’’ Rian's words calmed Shila who was worried about Vika's condition.
The match started again, when Vika tried to calm her heart, convince herself and try to play as well as possible.
“Vika, are you okay?’’ Riva was worried to see Vika's face filled with sweat.
“Owh.’’ Answer's short.
Vika played as well as he could. Although he occasionally made mistakes in passing, but he tried his best. Mendrible and passing, he kept doing well.
“Kak, Vika's game is very strange, he does not shoot even when it gets a good position. Yes, don't-don't get hurt..’’.
“He is fine. You know that he will not force play if he is unable to.’’ Rian calmed Shila down.
The first half finished with a score of 1-2, Vika's team missed 1 point for that. They are disappointed because of it, but they have tried as much as they can and will try more in the second half.
“You intention to play anyway?’’ Riri is angry at Vika.
“Riri.’’ Riva Speaks.
“I saw him, several times he was in a good position, but he instead passed the ball to someone else. Though..’’ Riri realized what Shila realized earlier.
“We need to discuss it now?’’ Ask Riva, making Riri and the others speechless, “The one who received the pass was me, so if you want to blame someone, wouldn't it be me who can't kick it so well that the ball doesn't come in?’’ Riva.
“What are you doing? Rest and replenish your stamina.’’ Rian said trying to melt the atmosphere.
“Vik,’’ Shila wants to say something to Vika who is in front of her.
“I go to the toilet first.’’ Vika then left.
“I will..’’
“Let her own Shil,’’ Rian stop Shila who wants to catch up with Vika, “This is her first time playing after so long, she will adjust soon.’’ Obviously Rian later.
Hearing that, Shila agreed and did not follow Vika. While Vika, she was silent in the silence of the toilet, staring at herself in a large mirror, a face and a sweaty uniform, everything was clearly visible in that mirror. He sighed and turned his gaze the other way then left.
A person with an expanding smile on his lips awaits Vika in front of the toilet, making Vika very surprised, “Ki, Kian.’’ Short Vika.
