[Back to the present]
(Mint POV)
"come on Han and Max, you can do it. get the goal for sure. I'm counting on you"
I was on the side of the football stadium in the viewer's area with the rest of our friends and faculty. we were cheering our team. while dancing and making noise to cheer them up.
are you asking me why am I sitting there? I give you a straight answer. even I am a sports person and I love football, somehow I don't have time to practice it's difficult to manage the work of college and company. so I give up.
I can't do much besides sitting on the side and cheer them up. my friends Ae-Han and Max are one of the best players this university has ever got, this time. The name of Ae-Han is quite long so I always state him with his half name Han it's quite comfortable and simple to me to say. and for Max, it's Max only, it's already short if I do like call him M, Ma, or X it's quite uncomfortable to say those two too, so its simple no nickname, only Max.
the score was like 4:4 on the board both are in equal score even we were an advantage of having them in the team. time may change and can scrap the winning from us. so I shouted to them focus and win. as per I say those words Jasmine shouted.
"Look Mint They are going to take a goal."
and
"Goal."
"yea!!!!!!!"
the crowd in the stadium started to make noise. and the sound of trumpet and drum are with us too. we danced in our own seats and cheered loud enough to make jealous to the other faculty. when the minute is only remaining 1. we were nervous that if they can make it or not.
after the match ended with the Max scoring the winning goal for our faculty. we all cheered up with joy. and we were just like bursting crackers on the ground.
"ye! we won."
that was one of the happiest movement of the day, enjoyable and fun.
we decided to celebrate this winning so I ask all my friends to come with us to celebrate, including Eric, Freddie and Martin.
it was planned today that, the winning team should treat us all. they are the payer this time for having drinks with all of us. I know it might be weird for me to ask Martin and Freddie. their team has lost against us.
even Martin's faculty losses I asked him to come along with us. cause they are friends too. winning and losing will happen and flows with time it may come and go, but my friends will be forever here so why should I discriminate. I don't wanna any enemy after all.
at the evening I called Han to pick me up from my dome. Jasmine will come after her work ends and Eric and Freddie will be there soon and for Martin, he was going to to be late today he has things to do. at exactly 8 pm Han came with his brand new Audi SUV and pick up from my front of the dome. I have not seen Max in his car I was curious as he started me before they both are going to pick me together.
I asked him where Max is? he replied to me that he got some call and he needs to leave, he was some sort of business of his own so he left just a few minutes ago before I came. he will be soon there.
we left the dome and came to the party. when we arrived we see that there the whole gang is already present. Jasmine was rocking the floor as she usually does after drinking. but still, I can't see Max. as for my nature, I was curious. so I asked them about him. they don't know either. I let my phone to make a phone call to him.
"hey! Max where are you."
"I'm so sorry Mint but I can't talk right now I'm here for some business."
"why is your voice is so dull and frightened. what happened?"
I asked him. I believe his tone was heard quite fragile and horrified by something.
I can assume from the background sound, I heard another man's voice. he was cursing him a lot. Max tries to convince him but he didn't try to listen to him. by hearing those words my mind might go completely insane. I'm sure that he is getting himself in a bad situation. I was trying to understand the situation. so I spoke out and tries to talk to him and ask what is going on. but, before I can speak, the call gets cut. I was now worried about him I asked my friends that he might be in trouble or something.
who the F** are they. they wanna pick up on a fight. if for sure, I curse them if they touched Max.
