It
was Saturday afternoon and we’re trap in the tennis court because of the rain.
After the rain, the court is very wet so we can’t play. Some of my friends are
tennis players and some are badminton. The badminton players are in the court
because there was a tennis tournament and they want to watch but because of the
rain, the tournament is cancelled.
So they invited us to play badminton
but the tennis players don’t want because they wait until the tennis court to
be dry. I am the one who go with the badminton players.
When we arrive, my friends quickly
play badminton and I’m out of place so I seat in the corner. While they’re
playing, there still a vacant court then my Girlfriend invited and wants me to
play but I told her I don’t know how but she still want and I have no choice so
I play with her.
It’s my first time so I play the
badminton like I play in tennis. First I can’t hit, because the travel of
shuttlecock is different from tennis then she laugh at me. After how may
trials, I finally got the timing sometimes but it always hit in the net because
it is higher than the net in tennis.
So I starting to adjust my shots
then I can now return her shots and I’m starting to enjoy. When she noticed
that I can now return, she started to make some drop shots. I can’t return that
shots so she teach me how to return and how to make that shot. But it is very
hard because it is not the same in tennis. So she gave me some advises and it
help me a lot to return the shot.
When I can now return her drop shot
that makes the game cooler because I can now return almost all of her shot then
she use her big smashes and it is very fast, faster than the tennis ball so she
accidentally target me, I can’t hit the shuttlecock then it straight to my body
but it’s okay, it is not painful. She made that 5 times.
After that she also gave a shot that
I can run side to side with some drop shots and that quickly loses my stamina
but it makes the game cooler and nicer. And after how many hours, I run out of
stamina and when she notices that, she stops the game and gives some rest.
After the game, I have no regret why
I go with them and play badminton. Badminton is very fun than I expect and
simple to watch but hard to play. She told me that I am a fast learner, I don’t
know why; I just give my best and enjoy playing with her J and also she told me that I play
badminton like I play tennis.
