Arif is still in his position. Arif tried to digest the situation, he made sure not to hear wrong or see wrong.
Is this a dream?
Or reality?
There was a feeling trying to infiltrate his heart. A feeling that makes the whole body freeze but so comfortable.
For an Arif who lives under discrimination without friends, getting a surprise like this is like entering a fairyland full of beauty. Something simple yet very powerful and invincible, friendship.
“Hei Arif's. What's up?” Faga patted Arif on the shoulder, making him shocked and came out from the banquet.
“It's okay. I never thought I would get something like this. Thanks friends.”
“Hei-hei-hei, don't tell me you're still worried about your white hair.” One who only wore advanced shorts. The man then hugged Arif's shoulder with his right arm.
Name's Bara. He's got the eyes of a thug like Wira. His body was muscular and full of sweat. Although he looks terrible, Bara is a good friend. It's just that his looks made some people mistaken for him.
“Already explained, do not mind your white hair. If you are with us, be yourself. Understand.” Bara gives spirit.
Arif nodded.
“Good, time to continue our game.” The player goes straight to the middle of the field to pick up the ball. Speaking of sports, he is the most maniacal.
“Come Arif.” Fluent patting Arif's back then passed with the other friends.
Arif felt his chest full of something pleasant. Arif ran to join the others.
“Intinya, this game is about entering when into the opponent's goal.” Fluent explained at length to Arif. Both are on the same side.
While on the other side of the camp is seen Faga, Bara and four others. Faga became the goalkeeper and Bara was the attacker. According to the eloquent interpreter, Faga had a terrible reflex to catch the ball. While Bara he is adept at passing so that the opponent's defense can be broken.
Arif nodded in understanding. The longer he heard Eloquent explanations, Arif felt these opponents were really formidable.
“Let's relax, we also have a featured player. Hero, he's an expert at scoring numbers. The kick can be sharp and very hard. But he's pretty selfish in the bait. So be careful when nearby.”
Finished that explanation, eloquently immediately retreated to fill his role, which is a goalkeeper. Arif is placed as a defensive player. The task is simple, throw the ball forward.
“It's finished Fluent.” Bara shouted out the spirit from the middle of the green field. Fluent in giving confirmation of thumbs.
“Good, we can start it.”
The ball starts with the Bara team. He's the one who got the first pass. Bara receives with his inner foot then dribbles at medium speed.
Bara's skill in addition to accurate passing is good ball control. He can already dribble without seeing the speed of the ball so that his eyes continue to focus on the opponent in front of him without being busy releasing the foot with the position of the ball.
Two guys from the team are fluent forward. One of them is the hero. The two blocked Bara's path, stopping him for a few seconds. But before the ball was captured, Bara's feet had moved to give a pass to a teammate. High feed at an empty point.
His teammates received it with good chest control then dribbled it at high speed from the edge of the field. His name is Pala-lapa. His name sounds unique, as unique as his person. He entered Arif's territory, making Arif's entire body tremble.
Arif smiles at her. In his chest felt the heat of spirit. Arif forward, running. Closing lanes.
Arif just realized, Lapa dribbling using the left foot.
Arif gets through easily. That's natural, new players.
Realizing the ball passed him, Arif immediately turned around and ran as fast as possible to stop Lapa. Although he used his left foot, his speed did not decrease in the slightest.
“Come even faster, Arif.” Arif cheers in the heart.
The ball takes off first before Arif's foot touches it. Lapa's left foot hit the surface of the ball strongly. The ball rotates rapidly in the air, splits the penalty area, and pokes toward the goal.
Eloquently ready in position, his eyes managed to read the movement of the ball. The soles of the right foot jolt the ground, providing the energy to jump to the side. The right hand is stretched out trying to stop the ball.
“Gol!” There was a call after Eloquently failed to stop the ball. Even though a little more, his fingers have touched the ball.
The ball goes back to the middle. The hero looks who touches the ball. His legs were prepared to release the opening kick.
The Faga team then put on a serious face, positioning themselves as best as possible. Bara's eyes were fixed sharply towards the ball.
Hero uses short pans. Starting with a long breath and look at the side of the goal, Wir then move. Faga who served as a goalkeeper strengthened the horses.
The right leg of the hero touches the ball. Arif watched the scene carefully. As if there was a small-scale release of explosive energy, that's what happened to the Wira kick.
The ball darted with full force, split the field, passed the opposing player, and aimed at the goal at a critical angle. Fluent right, the terrible hero kick.
The Wira kick has a sharp curved track. As a result, Faga was wrong in reading the direction of the ball. It was a moment that made Arif unable to blink. “Great.”
GOAL
Wira equates the score with his epic kick.
Fellow teammate Wira immediately approached him, congratulating him. The hero is just acting ordinary, assuming it is not a big thing.
“As usual, terrible kick Wira.” Bara.
The ball is now handed over to the Bara team. It's the one who's gonna do the opening kick.
“Not only you can kick coolly, Wira.” Bara smiled excitedly.
The entire Arif team prepared themselves. The fun continued until the afternoon. The birds return to the nest, the orange light begins to turn dark. From the far horizon has seen mega red.
The Sky God is preparing to end his duties today.
“Thanks for the game.” Say Arif to others.
“Hahahah, fun no. You can come here anytime.” Bara gave tos to Arif.
“That's it, the spirit of youth. Hahaha.” Bara and Arif laughed together.
“Bara quickly once familiar with the new boy yes.” On the edge of the field Wira sat looking at the crowd of his friends.
“It is already his nature.” Fluent Reply. He sat down to accompany the hero.
“Hei Fluent, my actions today are very excessive right?” I look to his best friend. He doesn't usually ask for opinions about his behavior.
“Yes, your actions are very excessive.”
“I've guessed. Maybe I was too emotional. Those memories, I can't forget.” Said the Hero in a soft voice, his face looking at the grass below.
“What the hell, you confided in me.” Eject eloquent and continued short laughter. Laughter cut off by a fist that hit the target.
“This is also excessive, you don't need to hit me instead.” Reply Fluent not accept. He fell to the side because of the pukula Wira.
The hero blew his fist. “That's a reply for mocking me.”
“You are, indeed all hard.” The woman cleaned her pants and stood up. “Come with another.”
“Agree.”
@@@
“Can tell grandma what happened there.” Grandma's smile grew with her words. He was able to capture the brightness emanating from Arif's face.
Arif connected with a smile anyway. “Very fun.”
The two sat in Sheiny's room. Sheiny, who was curious about Arif's story, also approached, hearing.
Arif tells from beginning to end. From him who recognizes as a man of white hair until invited to play warm ball.
“This is the most incredible day.” Arif said while raising his hand.
“Heh I'm so envious.” Sheiny.
“What kind of friends did you get Arif?” Sheiny continued.
“Great friends. Everyone loves Arif. But there is one that is not comfortable with the presence of Arif. Maybe.”
“What's the name?” Sheiny asked again, grandma listening.
“Wira. He has eyes like a thug and there is a cut in one of his eyes.” Arif explained while discussing who was the hero.
“Hopefully we can be good friends.” Arif's voice shimmered.
“Pasti can.” Sheiny's reply was excited.
“Thanks.” The two continued the conversation.
Grandma looked at both. Both are like grandchildren to him. Both Arif and Sheiny were once very quiet children. Grandma even felt the need to take care of it to the end. But it seems that it is not necessary.
With the increasing age of Arif and Sheiny, developing also think both, and will later find their respective worlds. Grandma has no right to limit both.
Grandma smiled between Arif and Sheiny's conversation and then touched her busty chest. “Hopefully I have time to see the two become great people.”
The long conversation was over and Arif went towards his room. Today was exhausting and fun. Make new friends and play with new friends. Justjust wonderful. Greatable.
Happiness doesn't have to be expensive. The silver-haired man's sentence buzzed within Arif's head.
Arif then lay down on his folding mattress. Pull the blanket and close your eyes.
One, two, three, four.three hundred one, three hundred two, three hundred three.
Seconds by seconds passed.
“I can't sleep.” Inner Arif.
Arif got up from the bed, rubbed his eyes, and walked out of the courtyard. Arif looked at the second floor. The lights are still on there. Is Haz still working tonight? That's what Arif thinks.
Going out at night is Arif's new favorite. Sometimes Arif can not sleep because he thought about many things, so he decided to go out to enjoy the night while waiting for drowsiness to come back.
Arif was sitting quite far from home. In one of the places where the ceiling is open from the canopy of trees.
The space ocean looks so beautiful and charming. Full of blips of light named stars. The beauty of the night is more perfect with the presence of the full moon and the absence of clouds that pass.
Arif was riveted by all that. This scene always bewitches it, making the heart feel flowery.
Kak Haz once said, “Keeping, shaping, and giving birth to beauty in the universe is the duty of the Deer God Star.”
These scattered stars are his work. It's really incredible. Arif could never imagine how the Star Deer God worked while ascetic.
Enjoying a sunny and quiet night is a great option to get rid of sters. For Arif, it seems that tonight he can't sleep. Too many great things happened.
Arif decided to go back home. In the middle of his sight caught something startling. Really surprising.
“I didn't get it wrong.” Arif is on the spot. His gaze stared at the dim distance. Even so, his eyes could confirm that there was a figure of a man with an unusual position in front there.
Arif approached to confirm his sight.
Arif held his breath. There appeared a man who was imprisoned on a large rock, the surprise was that between himself and the stone there was a distance of one meter. Right, the man was floating in the air.
“Kak Haz!”
