The tour to Spain ended two weeks ago, now Rizaldi Fatah with other Cananga FC Mining players began to return to training at the training center of the Cananga FC Development team again as usual.
Their activities run as usual to once again, players who get more vacation rations have also begun to be seen again present at The Barracks, the name of the training center of the Cananga FC Mining team. In addition there are also names of young players who have just returned from the U-17 national team selection in South Korea - names such as Derry Yanuar, Axel Raihan and Martin Santoso can already stand again.
Of course seeing the presence of the three of them made Rizaldi greet them immediately, it has been a long time since the I-Youth finals they last met.
"How are you guys?" ask Rizaldi.
"Of course we're fine, the three of us managed to conquer it!" derry replied while doing a special greeting between the two of them.
Rizaldi was happy because his friends managed to pass the U-17 national team selection and now they just got ready to be called up to defend the Garuda Muda army later. Rizaldi also actually wants to be like the three of them, but he realizes there are still many opportunities and he intends to prove himself in this season, that way he will get supervision from Coach Maeda who handles the young team.
Today's activities are not much different from the usual day, they just do the exercises as usual for a few hours. Then continued with the exercise in the gym for approximately 1 hour and a half before finally they were allowed to go home.
"Hey Rizal, do you have any other plans this afternoon. I intend to throw a small party" Anan Riswan intends to invite Rizaldi to do a get-together that he has planned after returning from Spain.
But unfortunately Rizaldi had to reject the invitation from Anan Riswan this time, because he has his own agenda this time. If only Anan Riswan had invited him a few days ago maybe Rizaldi could still have to rearrange his schedule, but unfortunately Anan Riswan invited him too suddenly.
"Sorry Anan, but I have other plans today. If only you had said it yesterday I would have been able to come" Rizaldi said.
Derry who heard the conversation immediately entered into the chat between the two of them. "He's right, Rizaldi today wants to meet someone special right?"
Rizaldi looked directly at Derry, like the gaze of a swordsman who had a long grudge against his arch-enemy. Derry immediately pretended to clean his locker after seeing Rizaldi's gaze, he did not want to look into those eyes at all.
Anan Riswan nodded slowly, he began to understand why Rizaldi should miss the small party invitation. "Then you can also bring your girlfriend Rizaldi, as well as introduce us all about your boyfriend" said Anan Riswan.
Rizaldi slightly sighed, then he shook his head. "He's not my girlfriend, we're just close friends" Rizaldi said, trying to explain his relationship to them.
But they do not care what Rizaldi tries to convey, still they assume that Rizaldi already has a moor and wants to spend time with his girlfriend. Finally Rizaldi did not care anymore he ignored all the whistles addressed to him while smiling slanted indistinctly, he kept his regret on Derry who had made it this way.
Rizaldi continued walking to the place where they were going to meet, there was someone Rizaldi wanted to meet this time and that figure was quite important to him. He had a promise he had made with that figure so inevitably Rizaldi had to keep that promise.
About 12 minutes Rizaldi walked from the Cananga FC Mining training ground, Rizaldi had arrived where he would meet the female figure he wanted to meet. Rizaldi had to wait a few more minutes before a long, metallic black sedan was spotted and stopped right near Rizaldi sitting in wait.
"Have Rizal been waiting?" asked the sweet woman after getting off the metallic black car, the figure was Salma Finola who was a close friend.
"Please take care of the princess for a while, son Rizal, you want to be on duty again" said the driver and then closed the car glass and left the two of them there like a pair of pigeons.
"Where are we going?" Salma broke the tension rope between the two of them.
Then the two of them began to explore the shopping area in the city of Pemambangan. Rizaldi shared some of his experiences in Spain with Salma as they walked around looking for the right place for them to go.
Fifteen minutes they spent circling the shopping center alone, time felt so fast passing for the two of them. Rizaldi even filled his grocery bag with some vegetables, meat and fruits to take home later.
"Do you want to learn to cook again Rizal?" Salma asked about the groceries from Rizaldi which is quite a lot of it.
"No-no. It's just stock for the next month"
Salma nodded slowly, she began to think about what topic she would talk about again to Rizaldi. Because it made the two of them quite awkward for a while. Their hands were also about to touch several times intentionally and unintentionally, this further made the uncomfortable feeling of the two of them further increase.
"Rizal" said Salma slowly.
"What's wrong?"
"May I ask you one thing?" Salma was getting bowed and her voice was getting slower which made Rizaldi have to get closer to hear Salma's voice.
Because of what Rizaldi did, Salma made her even more embarrassed and awkward and hurriedly pushed Rizaldi to move a little away. Making Rizaldi a little confused with what happened to the female figure.
"Can I ask you one thing?" Salma repeated her question, again this time she uttered it in quite a loud voice and looked right into Rizaldi's eyes.
Rizaldi was a little surprised by that, suddenly a sense of nervousness attacked him and Rizaldi started to get a little agitated. His mind started to get messed up, he started to imagine the no-no. Rizaldi tried to throw away all the thoughts that came to him, but still the thoughts always just appeared.
Salma was more confident looking at Rizaldi which made Rizaldi more rigid like petrified because he looked into medusa's eyes.
"Can you teach me how to cook something? Today I intend to make you a delicious and nutritious fried noodle. But strangely the noodles I made turned black and made the waiter in my house angry" Salma said what she had been saying earlier.
As soon as he heard it, Rizaldi instantly lost half his life. He wanted to hope that the remaining half of his life would be lost as well because he was already so confident that he was currently feeling crushed to pieces.
