Moses was still being thought of by his strange dream last night. He didn't even discuss any of the topics Liam was talking about. This time he is driving his car, while Liam continues to ramble around the goals that have been scored by his idol footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, since joining Al-Nassr FC in the Saudi Arabian League. Although Al-Nassr has not won the trophy, Liam will still support the team, however he will always praise his mainstay players even though they are in difficult times.

With Linkin Park's songs on Meteora and Hybrid Theory playing on his car's sound tape, Musa keeps thinking about Lyra, his focus now also on the vehicle traffic he faces. But thankfully they came on time at the campus, along with thousands of students who wanted to watch the Grand Opening of the Campus Sports Week at the Para Den campus sports stadium.

Just arriving at the stadium, looking for a seat where they could sit side by side with friends they knew, some of the centile women came to Moses by expressing their cries of support, making Moses and Liam shudder in horror. Yups, Liam did not like, even very grateful for never being treated in such a way; he considered that women who seek attention do not have self-esteem.

"Moses, my dear, my love, my passion for futsal later, I'm sure our college futsal team will win!"

"Moses, you're the best, you'll be always my loved one in this game,"

"Musa, so my boyfriend dong!"

"Moses, good luck, baby!"

"Musa, if our futsal team wins, date me dong, I'm ready to take you anywhere,"

Moses and Liam gulped while facing these forgotten women of that age. If the level of High School may still be understood because of the influence of television soap operas whose acting alay kebangetan. But please, they have gone to college; they should have understood the situation and conditions. Crush is permissible, but if excessive like that it will be tacky and does not reflect the charisma of the student figure.

"Udah, already, disgust cave look at your face on!" liam exclaimed firmly reprimanding the centile ladies. He drew Moses by the hand to sit in a row of seats where many men of their age sat.

Musa's handsome and dashing appearance as a prince during the old Nusantara kingdom should be a highlight in the eyes of the students of Para Den Campus. Moreover, he is a figure who is actively organized and has a high social spirit. In addition to being part of ESA (English Student Association) — mentions for HIMA Prodi English Language Education as well as joining the campus futsal team, he is a member of BEM FKIP (Executive Board of Students Faculty of Teacher Training and Education). Moses is also famous as the son of the richest man number 4 in the city of Para Den, can only explain it through his strange full name: Formusa Centaurini.

The sports stadium is now filled with boisterous cheers of students welcoming the 72nd Season Campus Sports Week that they will later. This week is also enlivened by students from other campuses scattered throughout the metropolitan area of Metro city. The Para Den campus has hosted the sports week for the 50th time since it was held. Each student began to shout their songs and yells, even more excited when a beautiful woman in the uniform alma mater Para Den Campus and a visually mediocre bespectacled man who was also wearing the same alma mater walked simultaneously to the center stage of the stadium, there are two microphones available for them.

"Good morning, everybody!" exclaim Mas Mulyo, one of the two people who will now be the MC (Master of Ceremony) of the event.

"GOOD MORNING ..."

Instantly the crowded stadium was now silent, honoring the figure of the MC who began to convey his opening words on the middle stage. Ma'am Martha, on Mas Mulyo's current side, also smiled so widely; her face looked extremely beautiful and radiant, making every student inside the stadium admire her face, especially when he started sharing his MC dialogue with Mas Mulyo.

"..., alright, are you guys ready?!" exclaimed Mas Mulyo to every student in the stadium.

"READY!!!". Mas Mulyo's call to question was received with great fanfare by thousands of attendees, even as the man repeated his question 3 times. The students are really looking forward to this Campus Sports Week.

"The event will open with the Para Den Campus Cheer Guide team. Check it out!" ma'am Martha's exclaim blared into the entire stadium, making the crowd cheering even more.

As Martha and Mas Mulyo stepped off the stage and began to leave the stadium, a group of girls in skimpy cheerleading uniforms began to swarm to the ground. They are quite numerous, about 22 people.

Fresh and visually appealing cheerleader members began to display their rhythmic gymnastics compactness, combined with the typical slogans of cheerleading teams. Music flowed with an excited tempo also began to play; more precisely "Faint" belonging to Linkin Park — where the girls began to dance and display their attractions. As the girls appeared, the spectators were unceasingly cheering. The atmosphere inside the stadium really felt alive.

***

On the other hand, precisely at the headquarters of the theater club. There is still a student who took the time to visit the headquarters alone, instead of attending the opening of the sports week in the stadium. He is Lyra, want to refresh for a moment after a full night of staying up for the performance of his musical drama tonight, he has memorized a series of songs and dialogue that is quite complicated, he wants to entertain himself this morning, he wanted to entertain himself, while college hours are emptied for the sports week.

While reading the sentence-by-sentence best-selling novel of the year, You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao who still speaks English, Lyra dissolves into a two-dimensional love story between Julie and Sam that reconnects after Sam dies by phone from the afterlife.

The author of this novel is really cool. How can he be this creative? inner Lyra when she has finished reading the entire chapter of the novel.

If I were a writer, how much would I pay? he thought, still had time to think about the rent house bill this month and the cost of college this semester.

"Loh, Lyra, didn't you watch the opening of POK?" rani asked, entering the room while carrying some large cardboard boxes containing drama staging properties. He was surprised to find Lyra relaxing inside the headquarters while reading a novel.

"No, I'm not in the mood anymore" Lyra said, glancing at Rani for a moment.

"Aren't you going to support your teammates?" asked Rani then after putting the boxes. "Musa and Liam are in futsal, right? Siska and Johnny also became a representative of campus dance sports. English kids like nothing is off, everything is cool!" abugn.

Lyra was silent for a moment. What Rani said was true. None of the students in the English Education Study Program class who commute to college just to study, they all highlight their creativity, respectively, whether it is in campus extracurricular or social scale activities held by the Ministry of Education, Research and Culture (KEMENDIKBUD) Metro City.

"Not want to support anyway, Ran, but I also want free time to rest, mumpung no lecture hours" said Lyra, expressing her point.

"Oh, I so you mah mending do not need to go to campus, rest at home is good," said Rani. "Udah, yes, I'm out first. Support the futsal kids!" yell, get out of base.

Lyra is back alone. Rani's shadow was no longer visible in her eyes. Loneliness began to accompany him in the room. There was nothing amusing but a male and female picture novel that called each other in his hands. He even finished reading it to completion. He was confused about what else to do.

Lyra pulled out her phone from her pocket and started looking for something to cheer her up. Now he checks the Play Store, where he can install games he likes. However, he was also confused about what game to choose. He was afraid that if he had installed the game and played it for a few minutes, he was bored and simply uninstalled it. That would be a huge waste of the mobile data quota that he currently has, especially the price of data packages that are quite expensive per month.

***

On the roof of the stadium, Tom, a student of the English Education Department who is also a member of the Campus Press Council, wears headphones and takes over a set of radio announcement tools; He now plays as an announcer for each match for the next six hours.

The stadium was getting lively especially when the futsal session started. The role of futsal is indeed a sport that is very popular with students throughout the Metro city area, not only the Den. The ball is dribbled here and there to score a goal. The current futsal players also perform agilely and vigorously, although also some players have been caught falling many times while trying to snatch the ball from their opponent players.

Moments when Bayu, one of the members of the Para Den campus futsal team, managed to snatch the ball, the, he also tried to dribble selfishly for a few seconds then direct it straight towards the goal and violently kicked the ball. Unfortunately the kick was too hard, making the ball hit the top of the goal and bounce off the back of the goal.

"Oh, it turned out to be very hard but very far was a kick from Bayu, he is one of the plumbers of the Den as well yes, Bayu has a hard kick but it is still not found .....,"

After that, the ball was captured by the Ontario futsal team (the team against the Den this round), dribbled by agile player, Stefan Abdillah. But when Stefan was about to kick him towards the goal, Moses of the Para Den team managed to grab it and dribble it in the other direction, then he kicked it towards Liam, letting Liam who pointed it towards the goal.

"Danger this time, it was fortunate that it could be soaked by Moses, then to Liam. Liam wants to kick him into the goal and ..."

Unfortunately Liam did not manage to score. The ball he was about to kick towards the goal was captured by Lukman Nur Roziq of the Ontario team, then dribbled it to other Ontario players without letting it be thrown into the Para Den players.

"But yes Liam's kick is a bit rushed, this we face ..."

Until the moment Stefan Abdillah managed to get the ball, he kicked it strongly towards the goal and ...

"WO!!!!"

Applause and cheers filled the stadium. The Para Den futsal team suffered a crushing defeat, while the Ontario futsal team managed to gain a big prestige especially when Stefan Abdillah repeatedly scored for the third time, the third time, outstanding win for Ontario futsal team.

"Stefan Abdillah managed to score an outstanding goal in the history of futsal this 72nd campus sports week, ... Congratulations to the Ontario team that won this match against the Para Den team with a score of 3-0,"

At 01.00 pm. The first Kloter Campus Sports Week is finally over and will be continued tomorrow. This week will be held for a week, starting from 9 am to 1 pm. The participants of this athletic and ball-themed race also rested in the campus cafeteria and some of them also returned to the inn.

In the gazebo near the Language Laboratory, there are three men who are now fighting there; Moses, Liam and Tom. Moses lay on his back while looking at the ceiling of the gazebo, lamenting the defeat of his team. Tom was pensive at the end of the gazebo, watching everyone passing by. Liam is now staring at mobile phones, watching YouTube videos of football matches between Uruguay and Italy at the FIFA U-20 World Cup, occasionally splashing himself.

Tom, who is silent without inspiration, starts to open his phone, hoping for entertainment, just like Liam is currently doing. Just opening the phone, he gets a chat from Lyra.

Lyra

Tom, meet me backstage at the culture.

At first Tom was surprised, not usually he got a chat from Lyra outside the group task. However, he concludes that there may be something Lyra wants to tell him.

^^^^^^^

^^^^^^^

After replying to Lyra's chat, Tom began to wake up from his seat.

"Where are you going, Tom?" liam asked, responding to Tom who was about to go in a direction.

Moses looked at the ceiling of the gazebo. Although he could hear all the conversations around him, he did not ponder.

"Here, Lyra told me to meet her backstage culture" Tom replied.

"Oh, what do you want?" timpal Liam, asked.

"Some," Tom replied as he shrugged both of his shoulders.

Moses, who had found the name of Lyra, frowned. Glancing at Tom for a moment, Moses begins to suspect, he starts to think no-no between Lyra and Tom. Moses feels strange when Lyra has a relationship with another man, he just wants his best friend is close to himself.

"Yes, I'll unplug it!" tom said goodbye to Liam. He went to the place Lyra mentioned in a chat, backstage culture.

There, Lyra and Novia, two members of the theater club, were carrying some tickets to their musical. Lyra will play the character Mrs. Baker, while Novia played the character of Cinderella, both characters are quite important in the storyline Into the Woods which will be shown at the play later tonight.

"Hi, Tom, here!" lyra exclaimed enthusiastically, waving her hand at Tom as soon as she saw him from a distance.

"Here, tickets for our theater tonight, please come yes, share them with other English children. Thanks." said Lyra when giving thirty sheets of tickets to watch the campus theater on Tom.

"Oh okay, thank you for the free ticket, too" Tom said happily when he received the tickets.

"Oh yes, this is a title, an invitation to the Press Council member photographer, yesterday your editor-in-chief has confirmed the agreement of his cooperation with our club!" exclaim Novia while giving a sheet of folio paper with writing like a letter to Tom.

Before Tom withdrew from, several students from other programs also came to the place to pick up theater tickets.

"Udah, yes, I'll go first. Thanks again for the ticket!" exclaim Tom pamit.

"Yes, equally," said Lyra with a big smile towards Tom. The girl was as friendly as ever. "Don't forget to come!".

When Tom returned to the gazebo, he only found Liam sitting there alone.

"Where is Moses going?" tom asked while giving a ticket to Liam.

"So saying goodbye first, want to do Mr. linguistic duty. Witono said," liam timpal.

"Well, instead of college hours emptied for a week for Sports Week?!" timpal Tom wonder.

"It is Moses's birthright, perhaps he was converted to be diligent, right?" timpal Liam. "Btw, thanks for the ticket. From Lyra, right?" he added when he received a ticket from Tom.

"Oh, continue next week about we actually have a Practitioner class is not it? Does the Sports Week schedule last a week?" ask Tom.

"Hopefully just a holiday, again lazy to look at the face of my song Bu Farrah," Liam chimed, without looking at the situation.

"Listen from other prodi children, the Practitioner class will be brought with the guest lecturer, Mrs. Farrah seems not going to come along," said Tom.

"By the way, you don't want to go home now?" liam asked suddenly while turning off his phone. He yawns, sleepy.

"Yes, I'm tired" said Tom.

"Yes, go home!" liam walked over to Tom. "Close to Moses' house first yes, my motorbike I lived there before going to campus. Moses took the car, "" he said as he began walking with Tom towards the parking lot. The two of them then joined each other using Tom's motorbike.

***

In his room, Moses now wept alone, thinking of Lyra. He was not wearing a shirt, lying on the bed looking at the ceiling of his room when his eyes were filled with tears and his nose was slowly draining snot.

In the eyes of many, Moses was a resolute figure who almost never seemed to cry. Yeah, if he wants to cry, he always finds time to be alone. However, men are also human beings, who certainly have emotions to cry.

Musa and Lyra may have been friends, but she already had affection for the girl, despite never having any sexual attraction to her. For two days he did not communicate with her enough to hurt her, he was afraid that this friendship would break forever.

..."Three days to prove that there's nothing between us,"...

The words of Lyra that night continued to haunt Moses' head. Even when she learned that Lyra had a close relationship with the director of her theater club, Ken, she felt so upset. He could not deduce what feelings he had towards Lyra.

Freckle after speck of tears flowed slowly from his eye patch, leaving him confused by his own emotions. Moses closed his eyes for a moment, imagining something beautiful. Unfortunately, Lyra's shadow always appeared in her head, greeting her kindly in the previous days while they were still close.

"Hi, Moses!" exclaims Liam and Tom suddenly appear in Moses' room, suddenly surprised him, making his daydream about Lyra fade instantly.

"Why are you guys here?" moses asked in wonder. He soon woke up from the fall. But his eyes that look puffy certainly can not lie the situation.

"Well, are you crying?" ask Liam pangling. He smiled in surprise to find Moses who now looks so cute like a young boy who just entered Junior High School.

"It's not okay, Mus?" tom Sahut. "So your maid's permission, he said he entered his room just so," he added.

"O, yes, don't tell anyone that I cry" Moses tried to wipe away his tears.

"Chills. I also cried yesterday when my mother scolded me because the pocket money this month has run out. Right, right, Tom?" timpal Liam is still excited.

"Yes, cry until you drool yesterday" said Tom, laughing at Liam. But Liam seems to take it for granted, as long as no girl is looking.

"No girl, Mus, calm down!" liam patted Moses on the shoulder.

"Yes, I'm really dizzy" Moses said.

"Why do you cry, Mus? The futsal team we lost earlier huh?" ask Liam curiously.

"It's okay, there's nothing" said Moses, who was no longer crying.

Liam looked towards Moses with a astonished look, raising his eyebrows as if he suspected something.

Tom accidentally saw some photos of Moses and Lyra together on the bed. "Wow, when is this photo?" tom asked while taking one of the photos. Musa and Lyra were sitting next to each other, showing off the instant noodles they were eating.

"Lyra's birthday was yesterday the day after tomorrow" Moses replied.

"Don't tell me you cry because of Lyra" said Liam.

"By the way, Moses was like Lyra very cold on campus from yesterday. What are you guys up against?" tom Sahut.

Moses shook his head, saying 'no'. Then he took some pictures of himself with Lyra and tore them all up before he dumped them in the trash.

"He's not my best friend anymore!" moses was firm. Now he really knows what he has to do so as not to always depend on the girl.

Liam and Tom glanced at each other.

"What the hell are you guys doing?" ask Liam.

"That means you won't be watching the theater tonight?" ask Tom to make sure.

"What the hell, Tom. The theater actor is not just Lyra doang," said Liam.

"meaning?" moses asked in wonder.

"Loh, you don't know?" ask Liam astonished.

"No" said Moses, who still did not understand the context.

"Later night Club theater campus we can all perform in the town square loh" said Liam.

"This is Lyra also gave me tickets for all English language students. It's all gone, you're lacking." said Tom while giving a ticket to Moses.

Now Moses was a little pompous when he found out that Lyra called Tom just to give him the tickets.

"Where are you watching?" ask Liam. "When you watch, come together!" yells.

Moses began to blame himself. He now regrets tearing up all his norish photos with Lyra, while he actually still likes the girl.

"Silence means yes" said Tom.

In the evening, the three men set out together to the town square where the magnificent theater stage has been built nicely along with all the creative fairy tale themed decorations. There are no chairs there, only a large plastic carpet that can accommodate hundreds of spectators.

"Get into their tent, give Lyra some support!" exclaim Liam.

Tom nodded enthusiastically.

"Moses is okay, let us!" exclaim Liam.

"Hi, Moses!" greet a man from a distance.

Moses, Liam and Tom tried to confirm their vision as the figure approached. Apparently Arjun, one of Moses' close friends from the Pure Physics Study Program.

"Are you not sitting down?" ask Arjun. "Just sit with us there!" yells.

"We followed, yes, I'm the same Tom wants to go to the theater children's tent first!" exclaim Liam.

"Well, Moses didn't come?" ask Arjun.

"Not in the mood he said" Tom said.

Liam and Tom rushed to the tent of the theater club members who were busy preparing their performances.

"Yes, Mus, let's go!" bring Arjun.

On the way to Arjun's seat, Moses accidentally nudges a girl. The girl was angry at first, but turned her face and left knowing that it was Moses. The light in the audience seats was indeed dark, not as bright as the spotlight on the stage ceiling. So Moses could not see who he had just touched.
