"Well, I will explain the purpose of combining you all in one field here," Mr. Tio opened his mouth, starting to explain to the students of MIPA 1 and 2.
"Father wants to assess your sports knowledge of badminton. All students will be selected at random, and will be selected according to height in order to adjust the opponent" explained Mr. Tio.
"Rey with Anna, Farel with Anya.."
As elections began to take place, Kayla was selected to be a badminton couple Alsen, students from the MIPA 1 class.
"Alright, you give fifteen minutes to train with his partner," Mr. Tio again explained, he then sat in a long chair located there, which was, he set a timer for the next fifteen minutes.
Calm down Kayla. You can do it!
Kayla is not talented in sports. Because this was also the lesson he disliked the most. Due to his stiff body, he could not even kick the ball to enter the opponent's goal properly.
Hap!
I could?
Kayla smiled, pleased that she had thrown the cock back at her opponent.
Wush!
Wush!
Hap!
Kayla again threw the cock perfectly using her racket.
"Lo don't joke around, Ga!" the voices of women and men who were joking at the time, made Kayla's concentration split. He looks at. They're.. Kayla was speechless, involuntarily the cock had already flown towards her.
NAH!
"YEAH!" Alsen shouted loudly, because of his victory.
"Gue indeed!" alsen.
Kayla rounded her eyes, as a result of not focusing earlier, the cock flew and missed so that victory was on the Alsen side.
"We're resting, huh?" alsen told Kayla. Kayla nodded, she and Alsen took their own bottles of drinking water.
"Lo.. whose name is it?" alsen asked suddenly, he tried to break the silent atmosphere between himself and Kayla.
I forgot this girl's name.. Alsen took a long breath..
"Oh, me? I'm Kayla," answered Kayla doubtfully.
"Gue rarely sees Lo, Lo every day just in class, or I'm not aware?" ask Alsen.
"I don't like going out of class" Kayla replied.
"Huh?"
Alsen scratched his non-itchy neck, "Oh, hm.." he smiled clumsily, as he rarely hung out with quiet people like Kayla. In fact, maybe he never hangs out with people like Kayla.
He feels like I'm weird, huh? Kayla smiled stiffly. He then faced forward, watching many students/i who were practicing.
PRITT!
"Exercise over!" Mr. Tio blew his whistle, he told the disciples to take a short break.
Anya came to Kayla, she gave her a can of cold drink that she had just bought.
"I'm sorry, excuse me.." he bowed himself in front of Alsen. He smiled and immediately gave the can.
"This is Kay, for you." Anya said.
"Make me?" Kayla rounded her eyes perfectly, with a face that did not understand.
"Yes, for you. Drink yes!" said Anya.
Kayla initially wanted to refuse, but she knew very well the nature of Anya who did not want an item she gave was rejected. Because lately Anya also often gives to Kayla.
Anya waved her hand, she left Kayla and returned to her seat which was near Farel, a MIPA 1 grade student.
Kayla laughed, she opened the can and drank it.
"He's Temen Lo?" ask Alsen curiously.
"Oh, yes." replied Kayla nodding.
Turns out a quiet kid like him had a temen too.. Alsen seemed to be in disbelief, but he chose not to take care of the affairs of the newly known woman.
Kayla leaned her head against the wall, she accidentally saw Sella, the school flower who was talking to Rangga.
"Seration.." muttered Kayla softly.
"What?" Alsen suddenly snatched, making Kayla gasp in shock.
"Ah, why?" ask Kayla.
"Lo was talking to me, right?" ask Alsen.
"No, no" answered Kayla.
"Oh, yes. haha" Alsen smiled clumsily.
***
Kayla and Alsen got the third part, after Vanessa and her partner.
***
"Huhh.." after the match, the result was a series between Kayla and Alsen 3-3.
"We're finally getting a series!" Alsen chuckled, wiping away the sweat that soaked his face.
"Yes" answered Kayla.
"Yes, I came back first" said Alsen. He took the bottle, and the towel he had brought.
Kayla adjusted her breath that felt tight. He took the water in his bag.
The students returned to their classes and prepared to go home.
This is, isn't it, Alsen's bag? Kayla tilted her head, looking at one of the Alsen bags still on the chair. He was carrying two bags, the other containing clothes and drinks. The other one contains a basketball that he carries.
Tap..
"Alsen, your bag-" Kayla suddenly fell silent, looking at the blind eye of the man behind her. At first, he thought it was Alsen passing right behind him.
"Why?" Rangga suddenly frowned, looking at Kayla full of curiosity.
"I'm sorry, I got the wrong person." Kayla replied honestly.
Kayla took Alsen's bag, and also her bag. He then went from there.
Ngga.. Kayla, you can't think of him!
Kayla frowned, trying to remember the bad things about the man, who was none other than Rangga.
I should hate him! Ja..
"Kyla!" Alsen suddenly came because he realized his bag was in Kayla's arms.
"Alsen, this is your bag that was left behind" said Kayla, she handed him the gray Alsen bag.
"Thank you, yeah. By the way, what's your ride home?" ask Alsen.
"Hemm, get on the bus." answered Kayla.
"Buses? Want to be with? I happened to bring a motorbike" Alsen said.
"No, thank you" answered Kayla. He immediately went back to class to pick up his bag.
"really? Where is Lo's house?"
"Hemm, it's a long way off. I got on the bus, thanks for the offer" said Kayla.
Feeling thirsty, Kayla intends to stop by the stalls that are nearby. He bought a bottle of water and drank it.
***
As usual, Kayla walked and waited in front of the stop. He looked back, and looked at Nek Ruqa's dark, silent home.
Did I visit Nek Ruqa first, huh? He is so good with me..
Kayla puffed her bag, walking towards Nek Ruqa's house.
Tok.dok...
"Excuse me, Grandma, it's me.. Kayla!" kayla said from the outside.
Krekka..
The door opened, Nek Ruqa smiled as she knew who was coming.
"Eh, kayla's boy!" Nek Ruqa smiled and hugged Kayla's body.
"How are you, Grandma? Grandma healthy?" ask Kayla.
"Healthy dong, look at this, granny fresh fit, right?" answer Nek Ruqa.
"Son Kayla's gonna wait for another bus, okay?" ask Nek Ruqa.
"Yes Nek," Kayla replied smilingly.
"Well, do you want to make tea?" ask Nek Ruqa.
"Ehm, don't bother Grandma. The bus is coming soon" Kayla replied.
"All right then." Nek Ruqa approached Kayla and sat down on the chair next to her.
"Where's the lesson? Smoothly?" nek Ruqa asked with an attentive face.
"Yes Nek," answered Kayla softly.
Nek Ruqa and Kayla chatted while waiting for the bus to arrive. They talk about their lives, and whatever they live.
