The Ball Behind the Love of the Court
53. Enjoying Dusk

Both of Ari's parents are busy outside, I don't know what they are doing. Looks like this time the camp will be canceled and we'll be home soon. In the room there are only Dika, Ari and Rena. They were sitting next to my bed and Yuri.

"Key, you're why" Ari approached me, and asked why. Don't they feel what they've done to me.

"You guys still ask why? you guys never believed my explanation so why am I talking again" I'm still upset with those who ignored my explanation about the fall of Yuri to the ravine and also me who brought a knife.

"Key, we don't blame you for harming Yuri" Kak Dika explained as he walked closer beside my bed. I'm still upset with them. It feels so lazy to talk to him.

"Here I am, I want to rest" My eyes closed even if it was pretend. To avoid the questions they ask. I actually wanted to tell a story, but it doesn't seem like it's a good situation to tell what I've been through.

Right now I don't want to talk to them. I just want to put a damper on my heart so as not to get emotional. Every now and then I looked at Yuri who was asleep with an infusion hose in hand.

"Yuri thank you" I muttered in my heart to her while turning my back to look at Yuri.

"You can all go with Roky to the villa, and later the aunt will take care of Key and Yuri" Aunt Maya tells them to go and rest in the villa. He will take care of us both here.

"But I want to be here with mama" Sahur Ari who doesn't want to go.

"I'm also aunty" Brother Dika also followed to stay here.

"No-no, everyone has to go back to the villa. Because auntie's gonna take care of both of their drugs. Soon aunt, Key and Yuri will catch up with you" he explained. Finally everyone went to the villa and there were only the three of us inside.

"Auntie"

"Yuri, you've woken up son" Yuri was already awake from her sleep. My eyes opened to look at Yuri.

"Yuri how you are" I spoke to her hoping Yuri wasn't angry with you. The worry in me is still not able to be silent if I do not know for sure the condition of my best friend.

"I should have asked you, because you're so critical of being carried by the river" Yuri snapped at me, her face looking worried about me.

Yuri woke up from the bed and walked towards me with the help of aunt Maya. She sat next to me and cried. Her tears were pouring but I didn't know what she was doing.

"I'm sorry key, because I you can be like this, hikksss.. . .Hikssss"

"What do you mean, I should thank you for helping me" I clasped his hand to relieve yuri's sadness.

"No key, I was upset at first for not acknowledging you about the knife's explanation. And now I know that you brought a knife to guard yourself after I opened your bag with no knife in there and neither did you who was not fined. it led me to look for you by grasping deep worries" Yuri explained everything and she was very sorry for not trusting me.

"Oh, forget about it. The important thing is that you survived" I said to calm the massage. Likewise with aunt Maya who grasped tightly my hand and also Yuri's hand like her own child. He always gave us the warmth. Aunt Maya is like our own parents.

"Tante, Yuri, Key wants a story"

"About what? " Aunty Maya approached and prepared herself to listen to everything. So did Yuri who enthusiastically listened to my story while wiping away the rest of her tears that were dripping down.

I told the two of them that there was someone stalking us all at the campground. It seems like that person is not a villager here. That person also who pushed me into the waterfall while I was alone eliminated the fret in my heart.

When I fell, he smiled up there. I saw him even a little, but unfortunately his face was covered with a hat. Not that someone's tires helped but he smiled happily to see me drown.

"What, how can you not talk to aunty key? "

"No aunt, I'm afraid she's endangering you" I said

"But key, he's already put your life at risk. It's a good thing I found you quickly otherwise you........." I shut Yuri's mouth not to continue the bad things that would happen if Yuri didn't help me.

"Please don't tell anyone, I don't want you involved with any of this. I'm sure this guy has been asking me for a long time" Aunt Maya and Yuri understood what I said. They promised to keep all this and not tell anyone.

Not long after, the doctor told me that Yuri and I could go home. The situation is getting better and must take the medicine given by the doctor. Om Roky was also waiting in front of the pukesmas. We'll be back to the villa soon.

Om Roky says that we're going home tomorrow, whereas I don't want this fun to end just like that just because of my problems. I plead that this holiday be done with an initial plan to eliminate the existing fatigue.

In the end, Roky changed the decision and we will go home the day after. This holiday will be held around the villa or even help the villagers who are picking in the tea garden. There is also a strawberry garden that we can visit.

"Key, you're still angry huh" I fell silent as Ari threw a question at me. I sat on the chair while enjoying the view around the villa.

"No" I answered briefly

"Alright, well, I was wrong for not trusting my own best friend" I was still speechless and pretended not to listen.

"O my friend, forgive me for being blind. Blind to the explanation you gave me. Let this error flow far. And let this apology get rid of the saturation in your mind" Ari joked with his heart. I don't know since when he's good at poetry, because I just heard him recite a poem for the first time.

"Hahahahhaha" My laughter broke as I refreshed him.

"Well, I'll laugh" Ari said. And this is how we repair our relationship. Small things will be big and big things will not necessarily be small.

"That dong key, next time don't jump into the river huh" I stared sinisterly as Ari let out those words.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I mean next time I have to be able to swim" A small smile from my lips flashed when I heard Ari's explanation.

"Oh you guys, soon the sun will go down, don't you want to come in? " Rena came and approached us both.

"Eh Rena, yes this is also I want to enter" said Ari who rushed to go inside and threw a smile at Rena.

"Let's go in, your body is not healthy yet" Ari held my hand and told him to come in immediately.

"Well, I'm going in first and you be careful here"

"OK ready to ri" She enters with Rena. There was only me alone staring at the twilight.

Looking at the twilight that was slowly beginning to disappear. I love to vacation here, but the restlessness also forces into my mind. I looked at the ceiling that was starting to darken. I asked her, even though I knew there would never be an answer from her.

"Why would anyone hate me? What's my fault with them. Can you mumble, surely you're just silent. Right, you just don't know what else I am" leaning on a tired body. There are so many things happening to me here. But the sight turned the wound into laughter.

"You're not in? " I'm shaking. Brother Dika walked over and sat down on the chair beside me.

"The air is fresh, I want to spend the night waiting for the stars and the moon" I said. Enjoy the atmosphere tonight.

"Come in, the night air is not good. Moreover, your body is still not good" I sat down and sat looking for the moon and stars. Have they come or are covered in darkness.

Looks like I better get inside the house. The wind whipped fiercely, let alone the cold mountain air pierced my skin. I can't stand it, but I enjoy it.

"You guys didn't come in? Let's eat first, don't stay here long is not good" I follow the words of Aunt Maya who must come out and rebuke us who stare at the ceiling in front of the house. We both went into the house for dinner. Enjoy the meal tonight and forget it for a moment.

Everyone ate well, and so did I. After that they prepare to sleep in the room that has been provided. Me, Yuri and Rena are in one room. All my things are in the room. Yuri said Gilang sir brought these things to the villa.

"Yuri, can you fall asleep"

"No" True to my guess, Yuri also could not sleep. Yuri and I fell asleep next to each other, we were on our backs. It turned out that Yuri had not fallen asleep either.

"I'm not, sleepy" Yuri said

"Sama, I'm not sleepy either" Kamin both woke up and sat down on the chair beside the window. When we saw Rena, it turned out that she had fallen asleep.

"What's on your mind?" Ask Yuri

" I don't know, I still don't think about those who want to hurt me. I don't know my fault either" Trying to give her my thoughts.

"Already, all you have to think about is how you can play ball with your best performance like before" Yuri gave me advice.

Because he knows my current performance is pretty bad, so I have to train even harder to get the best performance I've ever had.

"Yuri, my night is like this. Loneliness accompanied by the sound of sea-cickets. Silence and silence in solitude"

"really? Let me follow you"

"Follow what? "

"Look at the night" Funny words.

"May, as long as you don't trouble me"

"Hahahhaha" The sadness that is within each one. Me and Yuri both have a sense of loneliness in life. He who is lonely because of the affection of the parents is split in two. And I'm lonely because both parents are divided and don't even know where they are.

"Your wounds are not dry yet? " Task Yuri while looking at my arm wrapped in a new bandage from the pukesmas.

"It doesn't seem like it yet, because I didn't hang it out in the sun to be a salted fish"

"Hahahahhaha" Laughing again made us both happy despite the simple conversation.

*sssssttt*

"Rena is sleeping, don't disturb her because she's already slumbering" I stopped the conversation and started talking quietly because I didn't want to disturb Rena's sleep.

"Let's go to sleep, so that tomorrow can play around enjoying the day" We both rushed to the bed. Throw tired and fall asleep.

Falling asleep in a soft bed. And in my mind, the grandfather came again. Appears in the grasp of dreams. He returned the message that I should be careful with the people around me. Grandpa said everyone has kindness but not everyone uses kindness in his life.

Right at midnight I woke up to grandpa's message. I opened my eyes and saw Rena. He was calling someone with his eyes staring at us. I pretended to be asleep to find out what Rena was doing. But darling her voice was so small that my ears could not hear her words.

He hid while calling. It's so weird, why not just call before bed. It seems like something is not right with Rena. In front of us he was always silent and rarely spoke, but behind us he seemed to be an active child.

Some time he called, I don't know who his phone friend was. I could only look at her while occasionally pretending to be asleep as Rena's gaze led to us. After that Rena went back to sleep, and so did I.

In the morning I woke up early, did the usual worship and took the ball in my bag. Trying to get out of the villa and play in the front yard. Warm up first so that there is no cramping. But no one came out of his room.

It turned out to be cool also playing ball around high hills. Peaceful atmosphere, the sound of birds exclaiming in the morning. The cool air accompanied me to play ball practice. The ball in the hand reminds me of David. But never mind, I should get used to living without David.
