a coincidence

as saint ursula's girls football team, we participated in TARVANZA which is an annual sports and art event by tarakanita 1, south jakarta. our first game is against Don Bosco. that day after the school bell rang, we rushed to the parking lot and ordered 9 gojek all at once because we don't have any car to take us there. 10 minutes later, gojek riders began to arrive one by one. 9 gojek has gathered the next 15 minutes. then, off we go. it was my first gojek ride and i was excited! with a motorcycle you can slipped through the waiting cars in the traffic jams, and just smoothly pass through them.

i was too busy enjoying the wind that when i looked back, there was no other gojek riders who were my friends. so my driver must have take the wrong way. we stopped at every 600m to ask people for directions, but my driver was a little bit dumb and annoying. he never listened to what the streetwalkers said about which road we should take, and stupidly took the road he thought was the right one to go to tarakanita. after 20 minutes choked up of annoyance, i finally arrived at my destination. and everbody has waited for me because their IDs was with me and the guard didnt allow anyone to enter without their IDs. we quickly changed our outfits and warmed up. first half, we lost 1-0. and we successfully scored 1 goal on the second half. but like 3 minutes before the game ended, they scored. and we lost. no matter what, we had to win the next two matches to qualify for the semifinals. the next match was on saturday at noon. 10 minutes before the game began, i just realized i forgot to bring my shin guard with me. SOOOO I started to panic and i looked at my coach who was still coaching tarakanita 1 which was playing against SMAK1 that time. i knew she would kill me if she knew i forgot to bring my shin guard. then, when we walked around the field, i saw someone familiar but i decided to look away. when i turned back, he waved at me and i finally recognized him. he told me the day before that canisius played at 9 in the morning so i thought he should have gone home but here he was! we talked for a moment and he was sad because he lost the game. i was surprised because i thought his team never lost. But i still asked him if i could borrow his shin guard praying that if i use his shin guard i could score more goals because he was one awesome goal scorer. he gave me his but he was worried that it smelled not good. i laughed because it didn't matter because the shin guard will be used on my shin and my shin couldn't smell anything. if the shin guard was used on both of my cheeks then i would protest.​

so i used his shin guard, and i managed to score a goal and an assist to vera which made us won 3-0! thanks to harel's shin guard, really. after the match i quickly gave him back his shin guard, thanking him for the luck he brought to me. really, if he's not there i will be cutted to pieces by my coach.
