Football System: Classic Number 10
Chapter 63: Things That Feel Hard

Long enough Rizaldi and Melani talked on the roof of the school, even they had passed the second break. Only a few hours before the end of the bell marks the end of teaching and learning activities will ring.

Rizaldi broke his record today, his record of never skipping school let alone passing lessons like now. They both dissolve in their casual chatter, even though there are no fried foods, small cakes, or other snacks that accompany them to chat.

"Aren't you planning to go back to Rizal's class?" Melanie asked.

Rizaldi recalled for a moment what the lesson was now, then he remembered that the last lesson of the day was English, his favorite subject. Moreover, his teacher who was always good with him made Rizaldi not want to make his teacher disappointed with him.

"I'm going back to class, Nadia's mom's English. I'm in love with her, but not in the real sense" said Rizaldi tried to speak English but a little silly.

Because of that Melani laughed so much, she felt Rizaldi was very unsuitable when speaking in English. The typical Rizaldi dialect that is indigenous to Pemambangan always appears every time he speaks a foreign language and it makes it look funny.

"Why are you laughing, yes I know that my English sucks" Rizaldi pouted like a duck.

Melani laughs more and more and she can't even control her, before she finally begins to be able to control herself and talk. "Now I'm not mocking you Rizal, it's just funny that you speak English but there's still a Mining dialect"

Hearing that Rizaldi added a frown, he now began to turn his face and did not want to look at Melani who was still trying to hold her laugh.

Melani tries to talk again even though she is still trying to hold back her laughter. "But it's true, Nadia Utami's mother is indeed an easy person to love because of her innate who is always friendly and passionate"

Hearing Melani who began to discuss her favorite teacher's mother, Rizaldi immediately turned to look at Melani. He immediately forgot about the incident, like it was just lost by the wind. "Yes, you are absolutely right!" Rizaldi.

Then Rizaldi heard that the next lesson bell had rang, he now had to end their conversation now because Rizaldi did not want to miss English lessons.

"Then I'm going to the heat, do you want to go to class too or do you still want to be here Melani?" ask Rizaldi.

Melani seemed to be thinking, she was confused whether she should go to class the rest of the time like this, or if she remained silent on the roof until the bell went off. And finally he made his choice. Melani chose to go to class because she had left the class long enough.

"Then do you want to go to class?"

"Good offer Rizaldi!" melani said with a sweet smile on her face.

Then the two of them walked together to their respective classes, Rizaldi to class 10-C, while Melani to class 10-A. After getting to the front of her class, Melani says goodbye to Rizaldi. "See you later" he said, waving his hand.

Rizaldi responded with a smile as he waved his hand slowly, making sure Melani actually entered his class before he also left to get into his class as well.

When Rizaldi opened the closed door of his class, all eyes were on him. But Rizaldi just smiled, he considered all the gazes like spotlights for him who continued to follow him to his seat.

Salma just kept looking at Rizaldi with a confused look, she was confused from where Rizaldi was because he had been out for a long time even Derry had returned to class since.

"Where are you Rizal? I just went back to class" asked Salma who was a little worried about the figure of her best friend.

"I'm off the roof, somehow I want to relax for a moment" Rizaldi replied briefly.

Hearing all Rizaldi's answers made Salma even more astonished, not usually his friend was like that. He felt that there was something hidden by his friend and he did not want to talk about it.

But Salma still wanted to know that, because he did not get an answer from Rizaldi finally he asked Derry who sedan fun to play Nintendo Switch.

"Let's Atreus beat up old Odin!" looks like Derry's so late in the game.

"Derry oi Derry!" Salma tried to ask Derry.

Derry is still cool with his war god game, he is still fighting against the father of the gods in Norse mythology, Odin. But even so, he knew that Salma called him and listened to him anyway.

"You were called out to Rizal, right, what's the matter?"

"We attack with Atreus!" that was the answer from Derry's mouth, but Salma seemed to know another meaning of the word.

Derry is still cool with the game, now he answers with different words. "We defeat all the gods Atreus and then we will go to another realm" he replied.

"So right about that match, did you guys go to Jakarta?" Salma asked again.

"Yes" replied Derry briefly, because he felt Salma had understood the outline.

Salma had understood and understood what hit Rizaldi, he then went back to his desk and came to Rizaldi who was busy looking at the view from behind the window. The arrival of Salma with a face that is difficult to explain, making Rizaldi stop his activities.

"What's Salma?" ask the confused Rizaldi

"This afternoon I come to your house" answered Salma briefly which made Rizaldi more confused.

Sure enough, after the lesson ended Salma actually joined Rizaldi back home. I don't know what Salma is thinking right now to do something like that, Rizaldi doesn't know about that at all. After borrowing Rizaldi's smartphone to tell the firm sir not to pick him up directly, the two of them started going home to Rizaldi's house.

Arriving at home, Rizaldi was still confused by Salma's behavior today. Keisha who opened the door was immediately surprised by the presence of Salma figure who came home, Rizaldi could only smile crybaby because of it.

"Abang! Why is there this woman?" Keisha did not accept the presence of Salma.

Regardless of Keisha's opinion on him, Salma immediately asked Keisha. "Keisha, is there a mother?" ask Salma.

Of course Keisha was confused with Salma, why did she even bother looking for her mother. Rizaldi thought so too. Then Keisha who was upset immediately answered him. "Mom is there, what is it?"

When Salma heard that, he immediately pulled the arms of the brothers into the house. Salma acted like the owner of the house, while Rizaldi and Keisha were like guests who were too shy and shy to enter the house they came to.

Salma went straight to the kitchen where she smelled so good and delicious that it was there that Rizaldi's mother was cooking dinner for her little family.

"Aante!" shouted Salma who made Mother Rizaldi a little surprised, especially after seeing an unusual sight.

"Ang? Can you explain to mom?" said her mother who was a little confused by this situation.

Rizaldi could only let out a long sigh, he had already expected something like this to happen before. Then Rizaldi explained to his mother about this, Keisha also explained and made her mother begin to understand a little about this situation.

"Dragon!"

"Yes ma" Rizaldi resigned to what would happen to him.

Then his mother smiled slightly, but Rizaldi saw the smile as a bad sign. "If brother izal does something it must take full responsibility yes" said his mother who was a little misunderstood.

Rizaldi immediately patted his eel, he had expected it to be like this, while Keisha directly beat up his brother who he considered the female criminals.

"Salma, actually even though you are not with me, I will pastically speak the truth with my mother" said Rizaldi who increasingly made a misunderstanding between each party.

Salma herself also misunderstood, she can now only cover half her face with her backpack.

"Mama!"

"What's the matter bang?"

Rizaldi prepared mentally to say something heavy enough for him. When he felt ready, Rizaldi finally said the thing that was currently bothering him.

"Rizaldi will go to Jakarta for a few weeks, Rizal's team qualified for the knockout phase and had to play there" after saying that it feels like Rizaldi's feelings are slightly improved, like there is a burden lifted. Now it's just waiting for an answer from her mother.

Rizaldi had already prepared for the worst case scenario, but it seemed that it was not so necessary. When Rizaldi told his mother, her mother already knew about it so she was not much surprised anymore. "Go bang, pursue brother's ideals. Mama does not want to be the one who makes the ideals of brother become extinct" that's the answer from his mother.

Not according to what Rizaldi expected to be honest, but still Rizaldi was a little relieved because he did not have to argue with his mother and talk about how important his ideals were. After hearing that Rizaldi immediately hugged his mother with a full day and said a deep thanks, he also promised to bring victory for his mother.
