A long whistle was blown by the referee, halting the match between the very tight and hot Cananga Youth and Buceros FC Mining. The match was won by Cananga Youth Mining with a thin score of 2-1, the last goal was scored by Rizaldi Fatah who did a beautiful chip-shoot to the Buceros goal.
Cananga Youth Mining players and staff scurry to the field celebrating their victory, just as their loyal supporters are singing yells from above the stands. They all rejoiced because with this result Cananga Youth Mining was entitled to step forward into the knockout phase.
While the players of Buceros FC, can only look at the players of Cananga Youth with blank and nanar gazes. Some were crying and falling on the ground crying as they had to settle for finishing third in their group and failing to qualify for the knockout phase.
The referee told both teams to line up in the middle of the field, shake hands with each other and give a standing ovation to the supporters who have come and support them with a sincere heart during the 90 minutes of the match. Forget everything that happens on the field, the rivalry is only 90 minutes on the field and after that it remains a hobby friend, that is the meaning of fair-play.
The Buceros FC retainers went into the dressing room first, they were frustrated at the moment and upset that they couldn't do much today. Some of them could not accept this result and began to formulate the motivation to defeat Cananga Youth Mining in their next meeting.
As for the Cananga Youth Mining retainers, they once again gave a standing ovation to greet the supporters and spectators and also appreciated what they had done throughout the match. Before the end, they began to gradually leave the field and go to the dressing room to celebrate this victory.
"Wooooooooo! We made it friends"
"We made it into the knockout phase!"
They all continued their celebrations after entering the dressing room, Coach Satria was there too and let them rejoice for a moment before he gave the young players a few words of encouragement.
"First of all I want to congratulate you who have fought hard to get this team through to the knockout phase!" Coach Satria began to open his speech, all the players were already cheering, some others were just smiling while drinking energy drinks.
Coach Satria continued his words. "You can certainly hum or have fun because of this victory, you really deserve it. But remember, overdoing it is not good"
"Good Coach!" answer them simultaneously.
"We are like David who defeated Jalut. Achilles defeated the giant. However, we are not like Alexander the Great who defeated all his enemies until there is nothing left!" coach Satria said with great emphasis and enthusiasm, making the foster children begin to remember that they still have a long way to go before really getting the real meaning of the word win.
"In the top 32, there will be many stronger and more powerful teams from Buceros or Sugar Crossed FC who also qualify like us. We only have one life, one chance. If we lose then say goodbye to your dream of becoming defending champions. That's all I want to tell all of you and now enjoy your time"
The cheers broke once again, they all celebrated their victory in the dressing room.
"Hey-hey all of you don't forget the beautiful goalscorer and the decisive goal of our victory!" Martin suddenly interrupted and made them all stop doing their activities for a while.
The gaze was now fixed on the direction of Rizaldi who was daydreaming about why the sky had no pillars and was also thinking about why there was a world. When he realized the gazes of all of them, Rizaldi could only be astonished and scared by those eyes.
"What do you want to do?" Rizaldi asked half scared.
Then starting from Dery, they all lifted Rizaldi's body and threw it several times. Rizaldi to feel nauseous and dizzy because of their actions.
"Damn you Rizaldi, you took all those spotlights from me" said Martin.
Rizaldi who still feels dizzy comes into their chat material, according to him, the person who should be given high praise is not him. "It should be Dery, because if it weren't for his rescues, we might all have lost a great deal! he said it and then made everyone start to realize their mistakes.
"No-no, you're wrong. It's true, man of the match today it's Rizaldi!" Dery was frightened to see the gazes of everyone who looked at him, he was afraid that he would experience the same thing to Rizaldi so he preferred to run away first.
"Let's get him!"
"No-no-no!" Dery opened the door to save himself, but when he opened the door, there were even two beautiful women who seemed to wait there long enough.
The two women looked like a pair of sisters and older sisters, both beautiful but the older sister looked more beautiful because of the aura she emitted.
"Keisha's? Salma?" Rizaldi realized who the figure of two women who were at the door.
"Hi brother Dery!" Instead of greeting her brother back, Keisha greeted Dery first.
The eyes of the other children were immediately fixed on the beauty of Salma and also the priestly value of Keisha, they immediately approached the two women and began to wonder about themselves both.
"Hey pretty can you ask for her WhatsApp pin?"
"Hey sweet sister, would you like to come with brother no?"
Many asked the two of them, but they all stopped after Martin stopped them all. "You have no manners at all" he said, scolding the other men.
Then Martin knelt before Salma, and kissed Salma's handbook like a knight to his Queen. "I'm sorry for the behavior of all my friends" he said softly and gently, in stark contrast to what he often showed to his friends.
Of course what Martin did made everyone surprised, even Keisha who saw clearly because she was nearby. Salma could not say anything more, he was dead confused by Martin's actions, then Martin stood up and began to ask why Salma was here.
"Hey the head of the box! My friend here obviously wants to meet her heart and congratulate her!"
"Who did you say was Dery's box head? Heart poem? It's clear that's me" Martin continued to be confident, he looked at the already too confused Salma.
Martin could see there was a misunderstanding in Salma's eyes and it made him surprised, he felt that he was the woman who was like a goddess but he was wrong. "Who is this guy?" Martin wondered, while paying attention to all his comrades, there was nothing he could have guessed.
"I'm sorry!" Salma lowered her head slowly, then left Martin who was still confused looking for the figure intended by the woman and it turned out that the figure was Rizaldi Fatah. He was more surprised himself.
"No! We don't believe this!" they said simultaneously seeing Rizaldi and Salma who looked so familiar, as if there was no barrier between the two of them.
