Sparring partner Aero is a young athlete who has just won a PON. Different age 8 years, almost as tall as Aero but thinner. Actually not a draw opponent for practice. However, a young athlete is certainly so happy to get a match against a more senior boxer. Perhaps, if still active training and competing, Aero has become a professional boxer. For the PON winner of this 65 kg gold medal, losing is not a problem. He will get a lot of knowledge. And if it could win, it would be a pride in itself. A story he will never forget. Although, maybe his victory was wrapped in mere coincidence.
The statistics on paper show such a significant difference. If Aero has passed the official match almost 60 times, unlike Ricko who has only competed 17 times. Aero's body is more contained and muscular. The experience of this 30-year-old man is certainly more.
Even so, there was an advantage that Ricko had. If Aero wins in his match is 80%, Ricko wins 100%. Which means Ricko never loses. He seemed energetic during the warm-up session. Have a good speed and confidence. In his embedded soul, nothing to lose. The goal is that he just wants to learn an important lesson. Still survive in 3 rounds alone is incredible for him.
"Focus Mas." Jordi reminded Aero who had already entered the ring. He and the team members at the gym had Aero standing around the arena to watch the match. Looks relaxed.
If the beginning of their round is so calm, slowly over time rolling anxiety begins to feel. Comparative statistics of the two on paper as if only a gust of wind meant nothing. The real one is in the ring.
Right in the 3rd round, what Jordi had just whispered to her Boss had happened. The handsome muscular man was hit in the right temple. Making the layer of his skin torn, bleeding directly down wet the side of Aero's face. The person in the closed room should be normal. But not for Jordi, he was horrified to see the sighting of Aero. For those who don't know, might think if Aero's head has been leaked.
The referee stopped the match, instructing Aero to immediately clean his wound. Because every drop of blood that came out must have blocked his focus and vision.
If Aero's bleeding, Rocky's still safe. It turns out he's been very active. Keep dodging every Aero attack appropriately.
"Can you still survive?" Ask Jordi from the left side of Aero. The man's eyes displayed a facial look like his late Mamah. And that's very Aero avoid. Two others, they're treating the boss's wounds. Trying to stop the blood from continuing to pour out.
Aero threw a sharp glance at the neat assistant. She doesn't like it, with Jordi worrying about her. Being injured was common for him. Losing is also common. No need to overdo it.
"Still!" From his sharp gaze on Jordi earlier, he was like saying, "I am still strong until the last round. "
Jordi himself was worried because indeed, rarely did his boss get injured to bleed like this, both during training and competing. Usually just a wound.
Minutes by minutes passed...
When viewed by ordinary people, all can judge if the superior here is not Aero. The man was incarnated not like a hungry wolf, but like a desperate man who had just broken his heart. Bizarrely. Although the blow that was thrown by the tall man was powerful, but not right on target. There is only emotion in Aero. Jordi does not see any strategy that Aero applies in the ring. His boss was more like an amateur athlete.
Bugs
Jordi's eyes that had been made calm finally widened. Whether the part of Aero's body was affected by the jab, Jordi missed it because he was busy with the thought of 'what makes his boss lose focus'. Jordi reflex's feet stepped forward toward the edge of the ring when suddenly her boss was dazed. And not long after, Aero began to lower his body, crouching holding his stomach.
Shits.
Coinciding with the position of Aero who did not install the horses, aka bow, the 6 pum round ended. Ricko walked backwards into the corner of the red ring. The brown-skinned boy was still seen bringas to continue the remaining 2 rounds.
"Bag!!" Jordi who was still wearing a formal suit at the gym rushed into the arena, followed by a team of doctors and subordinates. They also humbled the body around Aero who was already in sweat. The blood no longer soaked the temple to the side of Aero's face. Only remains a scar of red with a length of 2 cm.
"The Ribbon."
"Yes?" Jordi brought her ears closer to hear the boss's call. Because the room is so crowded by groups from other boxing gyms. They cheered to see the members successfully put up a fight. So what Aero whispered was not clear.
"The ribs!"
"What?"
Panicked. Jordi who was already worried was now getting more anxious. Without permission, Jordi's left hand was stretched out on the ribs still held by Aero.
"Shhh!!" The fighter's hiss was startled while hitting Jordi's already sassy wrist touching that part.
"Sorry Mas."
The match referee who was none other than one of Aero's subordinates came closer. "Why??"
"Rib injury." Called one of the health teams. It is actually not correct to conclude so before a definite examination is carried out. It could be just a momentary pain.
"To the hospital, yes!" Invite Jordi who does not heed the conversation between the referee and the doctor. He was only worried about the Big Boss' son. A few years ago, Aero also experienced this.
...***...
"Healthy Bang? Sorry."
Ricko comes with his coach to visit Aero. When the match was stopped in the 6th round, he was confused. Actually he really wants to protest, kekeuh want to continue the match because of his position in the wind. But knowing what happened to Aero, he immediately lowered his ego.
Aero was still lying in the hospital bed. The upper body is left without a cover. And it successfully showed a bruise on the right rib area. Answering in a flat and expressionless tone, the success made Ricko shriek. Here and there he knows who Braga Assavero really is, of course the important information he can get after the game is over.
"Udah for Brother-"
"You think I'm a kid?"There were only the two of them inside the room. Aero dominates the conversation. He managed to intimidate a teenage boy who wanted to beat him in the ring.
"It's not like that. I feel bad. Maybe yesterday was too excited and enthusiastic. It feels like you are throwing punches non-stop. I see there is a blemish. I see the target, yes I hit." Said slowly.
"That's great!"
For a moment Rocky did not expect, will get such a response.
"Hmm?"
"Fighter souls exist, good skills and right strategies."
"The one that wasn't focused yesterday."
"Sokot know."
"There seems to be no preparation at all."
Aero chuckled at the analysis of the boy which was in fact true.
"Indeed. I just had dinner and was offered sparring with you."
"Evening or a date?"
"Just the same."
"Different. If it's a regular dinner with a non-special person. But on a date, with a special person."
"Where are you from?" Aero did not respond to the words of the teenager ngelantur responsibility. His personal problems no one should know. Very private.
"I'll tell you."
"I just found out. Are you a fighter?" In a lying position Aero tried to judge Ricko.
"No. The circumstances that require me to be a fighter."
It wasn't Aero's type to ask more about this boy's life. So that he is silent. Don't want to know more about the past. And what is meant by the circumstances that require him to be a fighter - Aero knows, really, really knows what it means.
"The game isn't over, is it Rick? I didn't lose."
"Yes. Brother hasn't finished the game."
"We'll see you back in the ring when I'm cured."
"Ready!- Bang, there was a woman outside this room. Brother Brother?"
"Beautiful?" Aero asked with his eyebrows squeaking. He seemed to be thinking who was outside his room.
"A really beautiful Bang. Long hair tied, tall, slim, skin-"
"You can get out!"
Aero did not like it when the responsible man kept mentioning the physical features of a woman he had in mind. So impatiently he immediately stopped Ricko's speech. Ask him to come home soon. Because for him, losing or winning in the ring is common. He was neither ashamed nor vengeful just because training with a young child made him lie in the hospital. Because he was not focused at that time, just feeling emotions and he was willing to vent it into several blows. If it is usually the opponent who will lose, this time it is different. Aero's emotions did not lead him to victory, but instead to physical pain.
What he was worried about now was the arrival of a woman at this time of her condition. Where'd you put his face?
