BLUE METAVERSE

BONI'S OFFER

Early in the morning Faiz had prepared all his own personal equipment because Mr. Didin had promised to pick him up this morning. Not dad. Faiz knew that father's time was precious, unfortunately when only used to pick up Faiz who was actually able to go home alone without being picked up. Faiz is not a child anymore. He had even been determined to leave the name Baby F so as not to be considered a spoiled child again. Baby F is more suitable for cute girls like Faiza. Boni came back to him in the room. From his attitude Faiz knew for sure Boni came to carry a certain mission.

“Udah is done, Fa. It's still early in the morning lo.”

“I will be picked up early in the morning, Bang”

“Breakfast first yuk!”

“Shortly, Bang. I have to finish cleaning these clothes and supplies first.”

Boni nodded. He got closer to Faiz and helped pack his personal belongings into a backpack.

“Cepet really want to go home, Fa. I still want to play and practice with you."

Faiz responded with a faint smile.

"Even if we've only met face to face for a moment, but I feel like we've become soulmates. I will definitely lose you, Fa."

Faiz grinning goat. “Now the language is no longer soulmate, Bang. Her popular term is bestie.”

Boni threw her hand in the air. Seemed disgusted to hear the word bestie. “I don't like the word. The effect is fussy, less macho. Besides I see in google translate bestie it means beast. So, it could be when we call a close friend with a word that means wild animals later can backfire. People we consider friends will pounce on us. I believe it can mean prayer, so don't take the word wrong. Do not let us mean calling a close friend but granted God in other meanings of different languages.”

"Haha. It's up to you, Bang."

Boni put on a serious look. Weight. The way of thinking is too complex and ogah uses slang language that is trending. Especially if it sounds less macho. Very afraid of hombreng. Yesterday didn't want to call her Baby, now she won't call bestie.

Boni put on a more serious look. Faiz responded casually.

“Kata coach you have sentin contract starting today.”

“Iya.”

“The reason?"

Faiz smiled with his lips curled. His eyes were still focused on closing the backpack that had been filled with his personal belongings.

"Capek?”

“You know, Bang.”

Boni blew the air out of his nose with a slight roughness. There was great disappointment in his eyes. Since getting to know Baby F, Boni had high hopes for him. Especially after a spectacular victory last night. Only one word represents his heart, salute. If there is no Faiz GGS can be sure to lose according to the wishes of the big bookies. Damaged sportsmanship because of the work of the brutal seeker. When else could he meet a pro player as intelligent, disciplined and sporty as Faiz.

Unfortunately though his heart was comfortable with Boni, Faiz could not back down or recant his promise to his family. After all, Faiz is really bored and bored to be a gamer. This victory is considered as a peak of achievement that makes it able to go from the shackles of online games with his head held high. It's not good to be enslaved to games, money and bookies.

“You will keep playing the game?”

“Perhaps occasionally, Bang. If you are kangen. I don't want to be a pro anymore. I don't want to be bound and organized by people. Tired, Bang.”

“What is your next plan.”

“Ya school dong, Bang. I'm still SMU.”

“Not you home schooling?”

“Had promised my family that I would go to a normal school from next semester. Want to join the school organization and have time to hang out together as a child my age. I still feel

too young to join a pro. You heard yourself last night what the team-mates commented. I’am a Baby.”

Is correct. That name now makes Faiz less confident. The effect is too cute and spoiled. Already embarrassed to bear that name, not at all representative of his character.

“There is another player dubbed Baby Alien also no problem. Don't worry about that. Your name makes good branding, nice to hear and curious. I'm sure you'll be more famous today. Especially if the video went viral last night. Many gamers and fans of girls who will be klepek klepek see gamers who have been mysterious turned out to be the maximum handsome."

Faiz could not hide his pride. But he must be istigfar and refrain from affecting the heart too much. Who knows, this is his life test. Ustazd said, there is a trial there is a form of pleasure but there is also a form of distress. Everything has to be at risk. The more famous, a lot of money and a lot of fans can actually add to the burden of life and plunge us on arrogance.

"Wherever we are there are always people who like or dislike us, the Fa. The pros and cons are reasonable. The important thing is that you make good achievements. With your game yesterday people have already admitted you are more than worthy of being called a pro player. Many will be very lost if you retreat, Fa.”

Faiz smiled faintly. He has finished his work in order to clean the clothes and equipment he brought from home. He kindly invited Boni to move to chat in the dining room that was still quiet. There's only Mrs Huri's assistant crew who looks busy cleaning up the team's logistics.

“You dare to break the contract, even though the penalty is quite good value. Do you have a higher contract offer than here?” Boni continued his conversation in a more sensitive direction. Of money. Usually the money is the reason players are hijacked by rival clubs.

Faiz pulled the chair across from Boni so they could sit face to face at the dining table. Boni take rice with a side dish of vermicelli, stew tofu jengkol and beef, fried onions and sambal. Turns out it wasn't for him, it was for Faiz. He took more nasi uduk and side dishes in greater quantities for himself.

“Thanks, Bang.”

“Happy to have the opportunity to serve a super star game like you, Fa. Just so you know, I'm one of your fans."

Boni's little trick flattered Faiz. It turns out that there was a friend who volunteered to serve him in this quarantine house. Even though at home, Mother has taught her to do everything personal including preparing her own food into a plate.

“Mental health in my opinion is more important, Bang. For a long time I felt I had no freedom. During the night forced to play games continue to serve the wishes of fans who turned out to be part.among them brother knows for himself what profession.” Faiz was slightly sneering considering the hardline fans who showered him with lots of gifts and money later known as bookies.

“But you can get more money from games.”

Faiz smiled faintly. Right too. The game gave him a lot of money. Maybe only Faiz decided to quit his career as a pro gamer when it just rose. Other players will not waste a chance

gold raked in more cuan because automatically with his position as runner-up individual tournament and tournament champion paid team must have increased sharply. Faiz is a bit of a joke about that one. Who does not drool if offered a lot of money and popularity.

Boni saw the sign of the horror. He enjoyed the delicious jengkol rice while observing how Faiz responded next. The hope is that Faiz changes his decision and remains in the GGS team. The boy was very genius, disciplined and steel-material. Qualifications of such gamers are extremely rare. Some are genius but temperament and do not want to be regulated. Some are mentally steel but the ability of his brain is a bit slow. While talented teenagers who have almost perfect qualifications like Faiz only born 1 among millions of mankind on this earth. It is a shame that his talent is not used as a professional player.

“I can help talk to mister Yamagata to give you the privilege of playing and training only a maximum of 4 hours a day outside school hours. After all, until the end of the year, there are only small tournaments. The important thing is that you are still on our team.”

Faiz did not answer. After seeking earnestness in Boni's eyes, he returned to eating his morning breakfast. Must rush. Mr. Didin, the driver who will pick him up may soon be arriving at the quarantine house.

“Or do you want the contract value added?”

Boni's offer is getting tempting. Play games for a maximum of 4 hours a day outside school hours, can play online anywhere and additional contract value, Faiz almost agreed before the shadow of his mother's face with her glowing blue eyes flashed in his mind.

“How, Fa?”

“I have to chat first with my parents, Bang.” That's the right answer for kink. Don't say yes or no before compromising with mom and dad. Boni must have understood. Faiz is 15 years old. Teenagers that age

must be under parental supervision.

Faiz almost choked on his little laugh. He immediately took mineral water and sipped Beuh. The pungent odor begins to contaminate the surrounding air. Faiz who was not used to talking while eating felt a little disturbed. He cupped a spoon and fork as a sign of stopping his eating. Before moving the toothbrush, he took the fruits so that the bad breath is a little neutralized.

"I'm waiting for the good news. Mister Yamagata must be very happy that you still want to join his team."

Yes sure. People will be happy if the flow continues. However, the GGS club is a business tool. It's the same with football clubs in the real world. Faiz knew Boni's mission today was to persuade him to stay at the GGS club.

Boni is a good friend. Despite the GGS club's mission, he remains a team captain and a reliable game player who never lives and appreciates the talents of other players. It is likely that he did so because of professional and as a bestie, not for the sake of the business of mister Yamagata.
