Football System: Classic Number 10
Episode 5: New Friends

Strange encounter with Derry in the afternoon, it turns out to form a tangle of red thread. Every time I trained, Derry would also join the training and accompany me, we are now friends and share stories with each other.

Like this afternoon, after all my daily training is over. We were both sitting in the field drinking isotonic drinks, we were both telling stories about our lives.

Derry, Derry Surians. He's a pretty good boy, although he looks like a boy who understands fashion, it's completely different from me. He graduated from Buceros Junior High School, one of the most prestigious schools in South Kalimantan even in Indonesia.

"Eh so you entered SMA 1 Mining too huh Rizaldi? I also entered the school" said Derry sumringah once heard me who entered SMA 1 Mining.

"Eh? You signed up there too, Derry?" I was quite surprised to hear that.

How not, what I can capture from all of Derry's stories, he's not the type of kid who has economic difficulties so he goes to public school.

SMP Buceros open a regular school, the entrance fee alone can make me breathless to see how many zeros behind it. Not to mention the other fees and monthly dues, I can sell myself just because I think about all the costs.

Because of that I became a little confused, I hesitated to ask Derry why he chose to enter SMA 1 Mining instead of continuing to Buceros High School. But Derry seemed to know what was bothering me, but Derry kept smiling and explaining it to me.

"The reason is simple, I'm lazy to learn!" He laughed out loud after saying that, leaving me confused about what to behave and finally laughing even though it was crisp.

"Then Rizaldi, what exactly is the purpose of training like this every day? You can't have too much free time"

I was silent for a moment to hear Derry's question, not because I was confused to answer it because I already had a very clear answer, like seeing a star at night. I was just a little scared, scared that my answer would be laughed at by Derry.

I was self-conscious, before I was just a loser, a coward, and a hickey who couldn't do anything. Play soccer? I've just started it, even with the system but I still can't do anything.

Compared to Derry, he's got more control over it than I do. I think he's a goalkeeper, because in practice kicking the ball, he always managed to pull my kick very easily and could even catch it like catching a dragonfly in a wide meadow.

I was so scared that Derry knew I was scared. "Have nothing to fear and doubt, just say it out loud!"

I was still a little hesitant, but Derry kept persuading me to say it and I ended up saying it out loud, my greatest wish right now. "I want to be a great football player, like my idol Ward Prowse! Before that I had to get into the Cananga Mining Football Academy first, before realizing my dream"

Derry smiled with satisfaction after hearing my words, I was too afraid that he would laugh at it but apparently did not. Derry didn't laugh at it, he was happy to hear it coming out of my mouth very loudly. "That's what I wanted to hear earlier" he said, smiling. "Therefore you shall enter Cananga Mining, whatever the case may be!"

I nodded slowly and confidently at the moment, I should get into Cananga Mining Football Academy, no matter how.

After that we both went home because it was getting late.

I came home feeling happier than ever, I got extra motivation to get into Cananga Mining Football Academy this time around. My meeting with Derry really made my life change even more, the two of us even promised to enter the Academy together.

I got home, I took off my shoes before I went into the house.

"I'm home!"

"Loh ma, how come you're home?" I was a little surprised to see the mother who turned out to be home first, I immediately saw the clock on my phone and it was still at 7 pm.

"Already, let's go straight in the shower and eat ya" Not usually mom behave a little strange like this, but I just sort of get cursed to be a stone.

I took a shower and then went to the dining room, where there was already Keisha and mother waiting for my presence at the dining table.

Mother waited with a face full of smiles, a smile that was very sweet and seductive like a valkryie smile that invited the souls of the viking knights to valhalla. While the sweet face of my sister Keisha is a little darker, she is like the king of the underworld watching over the spirits of humans.

I was confused as to what was going on, I was like seeing an angel and a demon before me at this moment, I don't know what happened even while I was sitting down, Mom and Keisha were still looking at me with the same expression.

"What's wrong ma? Kei?"

"Open the veil of his face bang" the mother ordered

I also intended to open the hood of the serving with confusion that still struck, but when my hand touched the hood of the serving, Keisha immediately held my hand so as not to open the hood of the serving.

"Kei what's wrong?" I asked and all I saw was Keisha's face right now was really like a demon in a big rage. I immediately gulped at Keisha's expression, if Keisha had expressed it that way, eating she would have been angry and I was making a mistake.

But what mistake did I make?

"Abang can't open this!" Keisha said with great emphasis.

"Gluck! Adek can not be so the same brother, let's open the hood of his face"

"Don't! Bad mom, tell brother to play ball, later if brother is injured how? What if it hurts to hit people?"

"You're so adek should support your brother dong!"

"No! Anyway Keisha doesn't want to support Rizaldi's brother to play ball!"

Ah, I already know what the contents of the hood are just from hearing the conversation of mother and Keisha. While the two of them were arguing, I opened the hood without caring about the two of them and it was true that the contents were as expected, the new football boots.

What about my mother and sister? They are still arguing, even I have rice and eating they are still arguing about my future.

I finished eating and they continued to fuss about it, finally having no choice but to take the final step to calm them both down, but first I had to wash my hands and wash the dishes I ate.

Then after that I gave the two people I love the most with a kiss on the cheek and so they stopped arguing and just realized that I had finished eating. I went to leave the two of them to the room, because I was too tired to hear their argument.
