JUST MISS
Chapters. 9

The twilight came beautifully. The reddish orange color adorns the sky perfectly.

Slowly, the lights started to turn on. Bright lights, amid the dim sunlight due to the turn of the afternoon into the night. What a beautiful sight.

“You pray first, before the match.” Alden said to all members of his basketball team.

This afternoon, on the basketball court the outdor match between Alden and Rino again occurred.

Alden and the team chose an outdor field. They did it intentionally. The place is not quiet, quite crowded with a hawker booth on the side of the road.

Ella and I, who were in trouble, went to buy a drink. We're just trying to care.

Oh yes, the ink match of course does not involve photography. It's just that I forced Ella to accompany me to watch Alden.

“Enakan also at home,” nagging Ella.

I looked at him who had just put on a sullen face.

“Lo not sincere yes nemenin me?” I asked Ella.

Ella nodded. “Lagian, really wanted to watch people play basketball,” Ella said while looking at me.

I smiled, showing off my rows of white teeth. “The name is also PDKT. Anyway, I don't want to see Alden fight again with Rino.” I explained to Ella.

Ella rolled her eyes.

“Again? Since when have you seen Alden the same Rino fight? People at that time you fainted,” Ella said by continuing to walk to the booth that sells mineral water.

I walked, aligned my steps with Ella.

“Lo likes it.” I said by pushing Ella's shoulder slowly.

Suddenly Ella stopped her footsteps. Spontaneous, I quit. Looking at him as if asking what is it?

Ella looks at me in, “lo happy with Alden?” Suddenly asked.

I'm nodding. Assure question.

Ella smiled after seeing my reaction. “Term deh,” he continued.

Talk about Ella's question.

I'm really happy to know and be close like this to Alden.

But, to last?

Is it suitable for my current status?

“Lo too, try to open your heart to Reza deh.” My words distract.

Ella didn't touch my words. But he only continued his steps that had stopped earlier.

Would it be nice if I wanted status?

°°°°

Game's starting. I can see the two teams starting to fight for the ball and keep the house so as not to enter the opponent.

All Alden's movements, they didn't escape my sight. Sweat slowly dripped from his forehead and soaked his face.

His aura is very strong. The more you see it, the more you feel for it.

The wind of the night seemed to accompany my heart that was riled up.

Bugh...

I was shocked when Alden fell to the ground floor. I widened my eyes, standing up.

Rino. Reza and Adrian, as well as some friends of Rino try to separate them both.

Reza knelt down, looking at Alden's condition that was still on the ground floor.

My heart felt uneasy when I saw Alden in such a state.

Not long after Alden woke up, standing staring at Rino.

“From the beginning, let's look for problems.” Said Alden by tightening his jaw.

Rino smiled lightly at Alden. From here, I could see Alden starting to clench his hands when he saw Rino's facial expression.

“Coward!” Shouted Alden with a loud and firm voice.

I immediately ran as Alden started to get hooked on his emotions.

°°°°

ALDEN POV

My steps came to a halt instantly, as there was a perfectly circular tiny hand on my waist.

I stepped forward a little, but the more I stepped both hands the tighter I hugged.

My anger slowly subsided. I turned my body, and found Nada holding me by lowering her head.

I looked down a little, saw his face. He closed his eyes while shaking.

Did he forbid me?

I grabbed her chin, touched it and slowly told her to look at me.

I smiled as Nada opened her eyes.

“It’s okay. You just need to close your eyes,” I told him.

He shook his head strongly, as if forbidding me from doing anything out of bounds.

Her own face warms my heart. The look in his eyes that seemed to tell me not to do anything rude, was able to make my anger slowly muffle.

I nodded in agreement before finally turning around to settle my matter with Rino.

“Cih, slave love.” Syndical Rino.

I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to control my emotions.

“Gue is a go-in, not a lo.” affair I'm firm.

Looking at every expression on Rino's face, I would love to throw a very, very hard blow on his jaw.

“This looks more like a coward!” My words that make Rino's emotions peak.

Bugh....

I was shocked when I saw Nada who fell on the floor of the field. A loud voice sounded a shriek calling out the name of his best friend.

Ella ran over to Nada. I crouched down, looking at the state of Nada.

The tone lowered while grimacing withstanding the pain due to Rino's tons. I looked at every corner of Nada's face, and found a cut on the tip of her mouth.

Facial skin at the end of the left mouth Tone torn. Although not wide, but it is very painful for Nada.

“Lo outrageous No,”

I can hear the voice of one of Rino's friends who was just watching silently.

“Gue did not mean. I want to nonjok Alden, open the girl.” Answer Rino.

Hearing his reply, I stood up and stepped closer to him.

“Tonjok me, if after I can finish lo.” I said coldly with a sharp look.

“Den,”

As I was staring intently at Rino. I could see some people walking closer to me through the end of my eyes.

“The more you get closer. The more lives these bastards have gone!” My yelling.

My patience is over. From the beginning it was Rino who was wrong.

Suddenly Rino was silent a thousand languages. It does not move or move at all.

“TONJOK GUE!” Jerked him.

I could see her scared face when I heard her speaking in a high tone.

I stepped closer to him. My finger was deliberately placed on his left chest.

My finger pointed at his chest loudly while whispering, “lo may disturb me. But don't you ever bother someone valuable to me.” Whisper me with a sharp and cold tone.

I turned around, walking towards Nada who was still lying on the floor of the field.

“Where is sick?” I ask him while facing him.

“My head is dizzy,” he replied in a raucous voice.

“Drink,” I shout at anyone who would take a drink for Nada.

Ella gave me a bottle of water. I opened the lid, then drank it slowly on Nada.

She grimaced in pain as she opened and closed her mouth.

My heart was broken when I saw his current condition.

I failed at keeping him.

I've hurt her.

°°°°

POV TONE

Alden got me into the yard. He led me patiently to the door.

His big hand knocked politely on my door, saying excuse me.

Given the problem earlier, it turns out that there is a part in Alden that is fragile. Makes it easy to get emotional.

Mom's face appeared from behind the door. I'm happy when Mama always gives her warm smile to Alden.

Alden was courteous.

“Sorry tan, I have failed for the second time keeping Nada.”

I was shocked when Alden tried to tell my mama about it.

My mother looked at me, looking at every corner of my face.

His casual face instantly turned to panic when he saw a torn wound on the tip of my lip.

“Kok can be like this? What are you doing?” Ask my mom with her worried face.

“It's my fault tan. I neglected to keep Nada, so she had a bump on her face.” Alden was clear to my mother.

Mama looked at Alden, asking for further explanation.

“Who's doing a punch? Don't know if this country is regulated by law?!” Mama said with a tone of speech that slowly grew higher.

My mother has been emotionally disturbed. Danger.

“Ma Tone well aja.” I said with a not-so-clear vowel.

“By the way it's not clear, say it's all right.”

When my mom was angry, she was not very visible. He was never physically angry.

He will only give advice to do right in the future.

“Later Tone Ceritain. Let Alden go home now, it's night.” I'm lirih.

Mama agreed. Alden left before leaving my house.

°°°°

His hands were white but his skin was not tight, slowly clearing my wounds patiently.

“Kok can dok?” Said my mama.

I know, my mama just didn't want her son to experience something like this.

“Captain opponent angry with Alden for no reason. Ngata-ngatain even to nonjok ma,” said I who tried to explain it briefly.

“Even the nonjoknya twice, and the second one accidentally hit my face anyway.” My next.

Mama looked at me while smiling amusedly.

“You want to remember Alden ya?” Ask mama.

I nodded, saying my mother.

“But not gini also deck. The impact on you will be.” Continue mama while tidying up the medicine box.

I'm nodding. That's right what Mom said. But I have no regrets at all.

My phone suddenly shook. I immediately saw the incoming notification.

Gya Adelina's.

“How are you Nad? Cocky now.”

I smiled happily when I saw who the person who sent me the message was.

Gya Adelina is my cousin. She's one year older than me. Last year, he and his family decided to stay in Canada because of work problems.

Adel, I think of her as my own sister. We're very close. I spent a lot of time together, so I felt very lonely when I found out he was moving to Canada.

“So arrogant jackdong. Have a boyfriend so forget the same adek. ☹ “ wrote me.

“So pain. Now smile is unclear,”

I glanced at my mother who shook her head while looking at me.

“Kak Adel chat I dong ma, after so long.” I said with a happy tone.

“Iya, he said next month if there is no problem they want to play to Indonesia.” Mama said.

My eyes sparkled at my mother's words.

“Serious?” My toot.

Mama nodded while standing from her seat.

“Now you rest yes,” said mama while kissing my forehead with love.

I nodded and put my body in the blanket.

Today is a happy day for me.

After a long day with Alden, Adel is coming home to play with me.

I hope this happy feeling can be felt every day.
