When the ield was drawn, the kids were grouped into two teams then they took their positions. Mirza, Abay, and Siti were one team, taking the left side of the ield. Raka, Amelia, and Pitra were on the other team.

While everyone was so eager to defend and score, Mirza was not sure about his role as a keeper. He ran left, then to the right, clumsily leaving the goal area empty. The next thing he knew, the other team already scored.

They took some rest under the shade of a tall building on the street.

“You were no use, Mirza. You can’t play football,” Siti said.

“I think he guarded the goal area well,” replied Bayu.

“But he didn’t know what to do in the game. He was just running here and there,” Siti said sternly.

Mirza didn’t say anything. He kept silent. It was not the irst time Siti talked like that.
