JUST MISS
Chapter.1 (He is the Angel I call MOM)

Sunlight came through my skin. The heat was intense as I passed through the middle of the outdoor basketball court at my school.

I stopped right in the middle of the basketball court. I lifted my head up, looking at the bright clouds and the shining sun just above my head.

I smiled, remembering what happened 2 years ago.

°°°

"Oh," I groaned as my head hit a basketball.

Gabriella Adara Louis, my frantic friend saw me hit by a basketball that didn't know who did it.

"Woi's sorry, lo." Ella yelled at whoever was playing basketball on the field.

I pulled Ella's hand, telling her to shut up. I really don't mind this.

"It doesn't hurt very much. The ball was not too tight on his forehead either." I said as my hand continued to rub my head to make the pain subside.

"It doesn't hurt?" asked Ella while picking up the basketball that was right under my feet.

Ella was ready to put the basketball in her hands to get it back in my head.

"Yes sick" I said, dismissing Ella's actions.

Ella snorted in annoyance as no one paid any heed to her words.

brak, brak...

The sound of footsteps surprised me. Suddenly there was a man standing in front of me.

"Sorrys. Temen I accidentally threw earlier" he said in a deep voice.

Alden Leon Pramudya, school basketball team captain. Students pride teachers and students seantereo school.

Alden is a diligent student and obedient to his teacher, no wonder if he is very famous among teachers. In addition, his handsome face was able to make the students who saw him captivated.

Why should Alden apologize, god.

"Just relax, it's my fault I also pass in the middle of the field." I reply.

Alden continued to look at me with worried eyes. If I don't misrepresent it.

"Lo gapapa, right? is anyone sick?" he asked by looking at both my beads.

*Bluss...

hold Nad, don't ngefly*.

"However." I replied in a relaxed tone as possible.

Alden smiling. "Thank God, see you later" he said before leaving with the ball Ella had held.

I looked at Ella, asking for an explanation of what Alden said.

°°°

"Next week, our school basketball team has a basketball tournament against Rajawali High School. Alden as team captain asked us to help document the event" Dani's extracurricular head of photography told the rest of the extras.

"Now I'm going for a person's job." Dani continued.

"Rania, Rizki, Aira, Alana, and Risma for your duty to document Rajawali High School. One person has to photograph one model." Dani continued.

"While Riri is David's, Ella's is Reza's, Ica's is Azka's, Kiki's is Tio's, and Nada's is Alden's."

I was shocked when Dani said I had to take control of Alden's documentation.

"Why did I take over Alden's share?" ask me because I disagree with this division.

"Because you're more competent, and your shots are good for Alden who is the center."

I also resigned, because I realized my current position as a team member.

"Going to school today, for the part that controls the school team we should not go home first. Because you have to take some photos while Alden CS is training" Dani told reporters.

"Good."

°°°°

The sun's rays begin to dim, a sign of the end of the solar illuminates the earth and will be replaced by the moon with the help of a light bulb around it.

The clock was 6:30 pm, but I was still at school. Really tiring.

"Shoot!" alden shouted in direction.

A round of applause was heard as the referee stopped the match.

"Good work" Alden said, patting all the shoulders of his players alternately.

I let out a sigh of relief. I stood up to stretch my legs and my whole body.

Actually from 5 pm it was finished documenting, but Alden said if not disband before the basketball game is over.

I walked over to my bag and started putting some tools in it.

"Nad, I'm home first." Ella told me.

I smiled, "Be careful on the road."

After all my things were neatly arranged, I took my phone from the pocket of the side bag.

"Dek mama arisan first, papa has not come home from work. Go home by yourself." 5:30 pm

I snorted in annoyance, at a time like this there was something done by my parents.

"There's still a brother,"

I'm looking for Alvaro's number, my only brother. He's my only savior at a time like this.

When the 3rd ring has been heard his distinctive voice across there.

It was the gercepest brother.

"What's wrong?"

"Pick up dong, it's this malem.* I'm still at school."

"Crazy you're still at school?! Home quick*!"

I put my phone away as soon as I heard Alvaro screech loudly.

"Yes I want to go home. But no one picked it up. How's dong?"

I heard Alvaro's voice ringing across there. Looks like he's got some business.

"Partially if you start ngabarin, macem knows round."

His nature reappeared.

"Fetch me now. I was alone in school bang."*

"My lecture today is at malem hour. It's still 8 o'clock. You use the services of an online motorcycle taxi, or whatever it is that is important you are safe."

*"That's a lot of money."

I turned off the phone one-sidedly. There was no warning for a low battrey.

"Keep how I go home." scolded me by looking for the powerbank in the bag.

Today was exhausting for me. Working with a basketball team is difficult.

"Not come home?"

I turned my eyes towards the person who asked me to speak.

"Nobody picked me up." I replied briefly.

my mood is so broken.

"Where are your parents?" ask him to turn off the engine.

"Busy."

Silent.

I didn't know what Alden was thinking until he didn't talk to me, and he didn't leave me alone.

"Lo don't go?" ask me when Alden didn't go with the bike.

He shook his head while looking at my two beads.

"Gue can't leave you here alone" he said, staring into both eyes.

Specheless.

Instantly I shut up. I don't know why he cares so much. Maybe his personality is like this.

"Except,"

I looked back at his eyes as he suddenly hung up a sentence.

"Lo wants me to go home" he continued.

I'm shaking. "Gue can order ojek online."

At the same time my powerbank finally met. I immediately attached the powerbank cable to my phone.

Again, not my luck. My battery powerbank is gone.

I let out a sigh of resignation.

Not long after that, the phone turned off the power.

Now I just have Alden, the guy who's gonna take me home.

"Where?" he asked once more when he found out I was so frustrated.

I had to nod. It feels so shameful. Just a few minutes ago I turned it down, and now I'm pulling it all.

"Wear it," Alden gave me the spare helmet he had brought to me.

This guy prepared everything.

"Wait." prevent it when I want to go up and sit on the passenger seat of the motorbike.

I was shocked when I saw Alden suddenly take off his jacket in front of me.

"Wear guys. The night wind is not good for your body" he said by giving me an army jacket.

I don't know why at the same time, whatever Alden said I did.

I also boarded and sat down on the back of Alden's motorbike.

This is my first time being bullied by a man other than Alvaro, my brother.

During our trip we were just silent. Struggling with each other's thoughts.

It feels so strange that I should start a conversation. Because I realized, I'm not close to Alden. So I have to maintain an attitude so as not to be presumptuous in front of strangers.

I enjoyed this beautiful night view. Street lights and also stars scattered very much around the moon.

Accompany the moon so as not to strive to illuminate this vast earth alone. So good, you're a star.

The tightness of the night breeze pierced through the skin of my palm, as Alden continued to spur his motor gas.

Fortunately, he lent me his jacket. If not, maybe my body is already shivering.

The streets were very quiet today, and that made Alden even more gas to get even firmer.

The more Alden spurred the gas, the more I squeezed the clothes he was wearing. It wasn't on purpose that I did that. But I was too scared.

I closed both my eyes. I didn't dare talk to Alden to let the motor gas go. But I'm so scared.

I felt something strange when the sound of the wind was not so audible in my ears.

Slowly, I opened my eyes. Sure enough, Alden was ditching his motor gas when his shirt accidentally squeezed his shirt.

"Sorry I didn't accidentally" I said understand if Alden put the bike down because of me.

"Why not tell me you're afraid of riding a fast bike?" tanyakanya.

"Gue is not afraid. Only, every time I was piggybacked on Varo was never that loud." I replied quibbling.

He was silent for a moment. "There will be a fork, turn right. There's a Grand City Block 5A housing, it's my home" I said, pointing out directions.

Alden just nodded in understanding.

"Lo not cold?" ask me to break the silence.

Actually I'm quite curious about her condition. Because I just feel the cold night wind to puncture the skin, let alone him.

"Ordinary" he answered briefly.

It feels awkward. Nothing to talk about.

"Varo's? Wh who? Lo's girlfriend?" tanyanya arrived - arrived.

I was surprised when Alden asked. I thought he was a rock that came to be human.

"Alvaro is my boyfriend and brother" I replied.

He chuckles. I don't know what makes him laugh like that.

"So, if I had a sister. I also said that he was my brother's girlfriend. Is that?" he said while chuckling.

I don't know what made me have to laugh with him.

"Why not? Try it." I replied.

"Let the girls not on your deketin anymore" I continued, laughing.

I just realized I was approaching my house.

"Black fence house. You stop there, it's my house." I said give directions

Alden stopped the bike when I got to the place I showed him. I went down and took off the helmet and jacket he lent me.

"Thabk. Sorry for taking care of you." I said thank you.

Alden nodded, "It turns out to be the same direction as my house, so be calm."

I smiled before saying goodbye to go home first after saying good night.

"Nad, man,"

I just turned my back, now Alden calls me.

"Yes?" I answered while looking at him.

Alden cleared his throat for a moment, "Thank you already want to be my partner. I beg for cooperation." he said by giving a smile.

I'm nodding. It's true, it's not easy being Alden's partner. Although only a partner for the Basketball Competition, still.

The Alden section that became the center was very troublesome for me. Because he had to attack and switch places continuously.

"Lo hasn't seen my work. So just relax." answered me after that I went into the house.
