The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
132. Retaliation to Mbak Yeni

This letter makes me sad again. Dika loved me as his sister. On the other hand he is happy because he has a sister after several years of being an only child. On the other hand, I also love him very much as my brother despite the mother's difference.

His smile disappeared and nothing else. No one else loves me as sincerely as a sister and no one loves me and protects me like yesterday.

"And this is Dika's new mobile number" Yuri gave me another piece of paper as my face wanted to cry again.

A sadness enveloped my day at this time. A very unfortunate birthday, my happiness mixed with grief. And there's nothing I want to do.

"Here you go, let's go home" I'm taking the two of them home.

I want to cry really hard, but not here. I am ashamed to be seen by so many people when I cry. Especially seeing them both

"Alright" Ari and Yuri drove me home. Without saying much, I immediately went out from before the two of them and entered the house.

"Key" Call Ari, her face anxiously looking at me. My body immediately turned back to look at him.

"What is ri? "

" I know you want to cry, and I know you want to scream. But please, don't do anything weird again. I don't want to lose you "Ari hugged me tight.

His heart understood my situation. They were always there when I was sad and when I got hurt even though the rest of me never told him.

"Key, Ari" Yuri hugged me tightly. We hugged back like teletubes.

"I need a break, you guys don't forget to rest. And Thank you for everything" Thank you will never be enough for the kindness Ari and Yuri have given.

They are the flowers that always make me smile with their beauty when in bloom. And I don't want to see them wither because of me.

"Alright, you have to get some rest and we'll both be home soon" Ari said with his trademark smile.

The two of them got into the car with glares. I try to pretend to smile so they smile too. But they know that my smile is fake.

"Dah Key" A hand wave went from before me with the passing of the car.

This time I went home. No stopping by the shop or mother's house. I need to be alone right now, 'cause my day is so fucked up. Today's birthday is meaningless, because dad left without explanation for sure as well as brother Dika who became happy for me to have been a good sister.

"Bo, my age is great and thank you so much for accompanying me to this day" The outpouring I talked about the meaning of happiness in bobo she always faithfully accompanied me and listened to my heart.

I hugged her tightly and was full of happiness and bitter cries. I told you many things, about the departure of Dika's father and sister that I remember back now. And a small letter from Dika's sister.

Until I fell asleep with the sad coming over and over again without leaving.

*tock, tock, tock*

The loud knocking of the door woke me from sleep. It turned out to be afternoon. I woke up and headed to the door to open it.

*crack*

"Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday Key" Beautiful singing.

My mother, father and two nosy sisters. They brought tarts and birthday candles. They all gave her beautiful face with a special smile that made me happy.

"Mom, thank you mom" Hugged a mother, touched my day.

"Happy birthday boy, may you be a good and great boy" kiss on the forehead given by the mother.

I took turns hugging my father, Nike and Ms. Yeni. Hugs from them make me happy. Every hug has a greeting and a prayer from all of them.

"You blow out the candles first, and don't forget to pray for gratitude" said Nike, who brought cakes and candles.

Pray in a very solemn heart to get the best answer from the creator.

The candle was blown and we went inside the house celebrating a simple party for a happy little family. But every society has always been the messiness of my two brothers.

"Come here, try to read the writing on this cake" I brought my face closer and read what it meant.

"Welcome back....... "

*plek*

"Aaa, mbak Nike, mbak Yeni" cried loudly as they both pranked me by pushing my face to the bottom of the cake.

The cake they brought was fake. Because there was only a pile of artificial cream that soiled my face until it turned all white. The real cake is still in my hands.

"Hahahhahaha" The two of them laughed out loud because they managed to make my face squeamish and irregular. My hands clean my eyes and mouth to see and speak.

"Mother.... " My whine is on mom because I can't repay them this time.

My mom and dad cleaned my dirty face. Her hand shrewdly caresses me gently using the tissue. Caught with endless affection. I smiled because of them both.

"Oh my God, is this a happy family? And right, now I have it. Keep them from the bad things in this world" I prayed in my heart when I saw the smiles of all of them.

I lost because I couldn't get back at both of them. But I won because I managed to get affection and gentle caresses from mother and father.

"Wekkkk" My ejek to the two of them who make the quarrel cool and very exciting.

*ting* (incoming message)

"Key, pray for me because tonight will be a match. I really need your spirit" (David)

"He'em" Nike's voice drew attention to me.

"Hmm, looks like someone is in love. Read the message just wear a smile again" I realized if the person who was talking about mbak Nike is me.

"No, this is my friend saying that he's going to play tonight against Singapore"

"Huh Singapore? " Everyone was shocked when he heard the word Singapore. I forgot to tell you that one of my friends David got into the Garuda youth team squad and against Singapore tonight.

"Well, whoa, whoa. We have to hang out tonight"

"Yes right, we have to flirt" Everyone was so excited to hear my story. Moreover, the father is very happy when watching the ball about the Garuda national team.

"Eitsss, before you have to open a gift from us first" said Nike while throwing a gift that he brought. So did Mbak Yeni throw a gift in his carry.

Both of them always annoyed me but never made me feel angry or offended. Because I'm going to pay back all their pranks on me.

But it feels that when we are far away, longing is passionate about meeting quickly. After meeting, we must have fought back.

"Well, I'll open it" I said, although in this heart there is still doubt because of their ignorance.

My eyes glanced sharply at the two of them. I'm afraid their pranks hidden on this gift are true. I very carefully opened it. Although this heart was not calm, I tried to smile even though I had to.

"Aaaaaaa" a happy scream came out of my mouth. It was real and I opened it.

A pair of clothes that may not be too expensive but the writing is very expensive. It turned out that my thoughts about their ignorance were a big mistake.

*IT'S MY SISTER, DO NOT AT USIK* This simple writing is proof of Nike's affection for me. Not luxury but simplicity.

"There's plenty of Nike" I hugged him tightly and gave him a sly smile.

"Yes, ibuk. Key's choking me"

"Where it is, don't miss Nike lying" I occasionally glanced at her with a sly smile. Good thing it's not paikopat, hehehe.

"Already, already. Don't quarrel you guys this is a habit" Mom's always been a good mediator.

Next I opened the gift mbak Yeni, there is no suspicion because it has opened the gift from the Nike mbak safely. With confidence I opened it.

*buk*

"Mother,,"

"Hahahhahaha" Yeni and Nike laughed with satisfaction as the toy punched me in the face.

My mom and dad laughed too. Seeing the two of them laughing, my anger was instantly gone because of the happiness of mother and father.

"Awas, I'll reply" I muttered inwardly as I stared at the still cool mother Yeni laughing out loud.

"You're a gap, aren't you, son? "

"No ma'am, just calm down. As long as mom and dad laugh then my world will be fine" said I casually.

While my mother's hand gently stroked my face because it was reddened by the tonjokan toy. No need to seek treatment, a gentle caress full of affection is enough.

"And this is a gift from mom and dad. You open up, son"

"Ready ma'am, happy" my heart interspersed with a smile.

The next day I opened. Simple gift from mom and dad. Two dolls that join together. I don't like dolls like girls, but a doll can be my friend to talk to.

I cried seeing the doll. Remembering the bobo doll that had been given by the mother as a child and also given on a special day that is my birthday.

"Mother, father. It's the most beautiful gift, thank you very much" A deep sense of crying in every one's soul.

Not a cry made intentionally, but there is also a cry that comes suddenly when remembering something. And that's me.

I need my father and mother very closely. My eyes were also full of constant crying, but both of their hands were able to reflect and make me comfortable in his arms.

So did Yeni and Mbak Nike embrace with us. And this is the real telepathic family.

"You're a strong and great boy, you'll always be proud of you as well as the fathers of all" I got a hug back from a father who loved his daughter sincerely.

"Remember, mother will always be at your every step, son" Mother's hand gives a very clear understanding. In his arms I was very happy.

Until dusk slowly began to sink, the mother and father returned home. While mbak Nike and mbak Yeni are still busy judging me today. And they're gonna head to my room and make a mess of everything to the satisfaction.

That's how they spend the night here. But what is worse is that Yeni's behavior always makes the tantrum and nosiness high. Good thing my patience with the two of them is not as thin as a tissue, heheh.

Nightly

"Let's watch the ball" I asked after cleaning myself and it was neat. Now I'm ready to watch David compete.

"Ah no ah, more cool here"

"Mbakku, splinter. The national team will play soon" Rejection was always said until in the end they both wanted even though they had to hear my whining first.

A sister always does mischief to her sister. But their affection is greater than that prank. Said later if mbak Nike and mbak Yeni married then there will be no one to fuss again three.

The words always ring in my mind, which is why I always take advantage of the happiness with both of them. Sometimes I'm always the target of their mischief. But they forget that my pranks are just as great as their pranks.

The night has arrived, the time to prepare to watch the Indonesian vs Singapore national team at 20:00 WIB. There are many foods that you have prepared to watch. It was like in the cinema in general. A really cool atmosphere.

"Aaaa, it's David" I cried as I watched David sing Indonesia Raya. It turned out that he became a core player in the Indonesian national team.

"Before a second, isn't he the one you like Key" My eyes stopped and froze. This tongue swallowed saliva deeply indeed the mouth mbak Yeni always make a tantrum.

"No, he's just my friend"

"Ahh, you're lying. You've told me that kid you like. He's been here anyway" The secrets told to him will be leaked.

"Yes, she's met you, right? Wow very great to be in the national team" Turns out mom still knows him.

"Ahh, yes ma'am. He's my friend. Let's just watch it because I want to see a good tactic to learn" I'd like to shift the conversation about David.

This was all because of the Yeni Mbak who had a bucket mouth. He smiled happily and whispered with Nike. I suspected that they were talking about it and were trying to build a plan to expel me again.

"Wait for my revenge mbak Yeni" my mind has taken a chance to take revenge on them. I know that my two brothers are in cahoots.
