Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper
Chapter 14 - My Dawn
Finished everything eating, one by one began to disperse themselves to return to their respective activities. There are also some SMKN 2 players who practice at Harapan High School while they are there.
The hot game finally cools when they eat together like family. However, they will obviously meet again at the Youth Tournament which will be held in 2 weeks from now.
Of course, every school in the Central Sulawesi sector is preparing the best squad to compete in the annual event.
Youth Tournament itself has a provincial sector in which there are 34 provinces. When each province ends at the end of the season, position 1 is the winner and is eligible to advance to the national level.
A team will compete with the 33 best teams. However, it is the dream of hundreds of teams in every sector.
For High School Hope, of course, great hopes will be their return at the National Youth Tournament. They want to avenge the Jaya Bangsa SMA from Luwuk after they had to be bent in the deciding match as well as the last match of both teams in the 2021/2022 season at the Youth Tournament to fight for tickets for the National Youth Tournament.
Hope it will be in every heart of High School players Hope. Especially with potential new members, they increasingly believe that they are able to compete again in national level tournaments. However, they had to show fangs first at the provincial level, moreover avenge!
Central Sulawesi itself has 20 best school football clubs competing in the main division Youth Tournament.
There were 7 from Palu, 5 from Luwuk, 3 from Ampana, 3 from Poso, and 2 from Toli-toli. It was the only school football club capable of competing, the others had to bide their time.
Now, Reza really doesn't know what to do. They were ordered to rest and the next day had to practice at the end of school lessons. This is a free day for Reza after a busy schedule every day.
On his way home, he receives a phone call from an unknown number. With intense curiosity, Reza picked up the phone call.
“Halo, who is it with, huh?” Reza spoke in a polite tone.
“Heemm .. hello-helo .. is there anything to slam?”
Reza was shocked when he heard a voice that was completely familiar to him, let alone that absurd joke. He didn't feel his mouth shaking, his heart racing.
“Ka-you ..?”
“Yo! Is this the crybaby Eca that Dawn knew first?” A joke from across sounded.
Reza's body shook, he couldn't stand it. He then ran to speed up the steps to his house which only a few more houses remained. In a few moments, he arrived and immediately entered the house without any excuse.
Coincidentally his mother went shopping, otherwise he would be scolded for not excusing even his own home. Adab was always taught by her mother.
“He-hey! What's up, Eca?”
The sound of chaos ensued. Reza slammed the door of his room, and soon he looked for a file he had neatly kept in his closet.
There, he found a photo of him when he was 7 years old with a white man with a curvy smile adding to his cuteness, he was a little taller. Reza flipped over the photo and said, Eca is 7, My Dawn is 10.
“Kak Dawn?”
“Ah! Apparently still remember me. It's very hard to get it, I got it from your mother who got my mother's contact first, so .. that's it, for more details just ask your mother!”
“Betul turns! Brother Dawn, My Dawn! Brother anywhere! Years, Brother!” Powerless, Reza shed a few tears.
“Yaah .. like that. Now your Dawn is already a dangerous striker. Haven't seen you in a long time, since ..”
Visual memories from Reza also appear.
...***...
8 years ago.
Two boys were playing with joy. They exchanged laughter, when the little one was hurt, the big one would panic and ask his parents for help.
If the big one was injured, then the little one was no less panicked, even the panic strangulation was just the sound of crying out of his mouth.
“Iihh! Brother Dawn!”
They both play like children their age, yes, although between the two there is a distance of 3 years, but do not close they can not be friends or play.
However, the fun ends when the parents of a child named Fajar have to move to the Capital. Dawn leaves little Reza with no friends anymore.
“Eca! Be the goalkeeper who keeps the goal in the future, according to your ideals!
Brother ... will break into your wicket!”
Because both love football, the ideals of both also concern football. Although little Reza aspires to be a goalkeeper, Fajar instead becomes a reliable striker to break into the goal guarded by Reza!
“Uhum! Eca will be the goalkeeper!”
The two separated with a cry. Fajar's parents were also reluctant to make their children grieve over the loss of friends, but they could do nothing about the work that had to be completed without compromise.
That's where their relationship broke off. Little Reza really became a loner, before her schoolmates started to invite her to play. Even football, he was chosen as the goalkeeper, in that fun-themed game, little Reza had to concede a lot of goals.
...***...
Reza could only remember those sad memories, he was not even aware of the words from Dawn.
“Oi! Dengerin first, Friday, June 17th Brother club, Persija U-20 will go to Persipal U-20, in Palu!” Dawn said happily.
He also longed to meet a friend, no, a friend whom he assumed was his own sister. He was really nostalgic when the times were playing together.
“Kak Dawn enter Persija U-20 ?!”
“Yoi! Even if you can show a good performance, you will be promoted to the first team! Persija Jakarta who play in the league 1 Indonesia!”
Reza is really proud of the friend she thinks is her brother. He had not expected that in 8 years of being unconnected, now he had the happy news.
“Eca is also a goalkeeper! The Hope High School! And ... Brother knows what? Eca was directly invited to U-17 training and selection in the Asian Cup Qualifying match U-17 2023!”
Rebellious from across the ruckus even the choking sound was clearly heard.
“Iya?! Wow very lucky!”
The two talked to each other about their 8 years of life after separation. It was really time-consuming until the sun was completely overhead, it was right at noon.
The conversation was also heard by Citra who had gone home shopping weekly. He felt grateful to get the number of his mother Fajar that made these two families can be interconnected to form a friendship rope.
“It was then, yeah! Brother Dawn wants BAB!”
“Shut! Read more about this!” Reza is certainly a little annoyed by the sudden talk directly into the dirty thing while snacking on snacks.
“Hahaha! Got you! Dadahh .. See you on Friday!”
The conversation between them stopped. Reza was also immediately told to take a bath by Citra and have lunch with the dishes that have been provided.
“Kak Dawn, will Eca show how good this goalkeeper is.”
Reza with sharp eyes made him look earnest.
“Yaa .. although use cheating system, tehe~”
