Soccer System: Legendary Goalkeeper

Chapter 25 - A Relaxing Day

Reza went straight to her bathroom. He took off all his clothes that were soaked in sweat from the flood.

“Weight,” muttered Reza when lifting her clothes.

Surely it is heavy because there is a liquid that seeps in the fabric fibers. Reza put it in a basket of dirty clothes.

He looked at the large mirror that was stuck on the door of his closet. His body did not change much, not even at all. However, Reza felt a little awkward from his joints.

“It ... achy,” said Reza ended with a bitter smile.

He immediately went into the bathroom and cleaned himself up before too late in the afternoon, as it was already 5 p.m.

Finished cleaning himself, he wears a red shirt with the words ‘New Generation’ on the chest of the shirt. The checkered shorts she used that added to her own impression.

Reza held the doorknob of her room, she hesitated a little to open it. With a strong determination, he began to press the doorknob down and the door leaf opened slowly.

Reza first peeked, and Vera and her mother could not be found in the living room. Then Reza immediately opened the door wide and then came out, after which he closed it back while turning the door knob to lock.

“Eca! Let's eat!” The image is already on the dining table while preparing food.

The unexpected thing, Vera and her mother were sitting casually while accompanied by a small laugh. Reza was only stunned for a moment before stepping heavily towards the dining table.

Vera stole a look at Reza. Her tiny mouth occasionally seemed to want to open her voice, but it did not.

Reza took a chair and dragged him towards the furthest position from Vera and her mother. He still does not trust strangers who come to his house, even though he has already acknowledged Vera's beauty.

“Who are they, Bu?” Reza looked at her mother who was about to sit down.

“She Melani, best friend mom first. This is his son, Vera.”

Reza glanced at the two, before a friendly look full of gentleness was seen.

“Welcome to this simple house, sorry I was being impolite earlier.” Reza with a sincere smile said that.

“It's okay. After all you are the son of my best friend, so I assume you are my own son.”

“Hei! This is my only child!” Her mother Reza interjected with a sharp look towards Melani.

The gaze of the eyes of the two interrelated formed an electrical voltage that could have shocked the surrounding. Reza and Vera spontaneously shifted their seats away from the dispute.

“You've always been like that, always protective of someone.” Melani spoke indifferently.

“It should be like that, Melan! This is my son, then I have the right to defend him!” Not over, Citra reaffirmed his words.

“Su-already!” Reza and Vera simultaneously try to break up.

Citra and Melani simultaneously turned to the pair of people. The two began to singe a sweet smile and no less sweet than a grain of sugar!

“Hahaha! These are the ones who don't know. The two of us have always been like this, but are still friends until now. Somehow it could, hahaha!” Melani, Vera's mother opened up the explanation first.

The two women who were both 40 years old were laughing loudly. The two of them were even endlessly laughing until the atmosphere in the dining room was filled with laughter.

Moments later, the four of them began to enter the things they should indeed do.

They started eating food in front of them. Chicken cooked with fried sambal accompanied by green vegetables called kale sauteed.

This chicken was bought by Melani with still in unprocessed state, Melani loudly voiced that Citra will cook it. Melani with her tricks wants to return to feeling nostalgic for the taste of food cooked by Citra.

“This is still like before,” said Melani happily.

Reza only focused on eating, several times the corner of his eye found Vera continued to steal glances. Reza tries to be a hypocrite, he doesn't want to look too flashy in front of Vera. However, in the heart of feeling uncontrollably throbbing, a sign she has felt in love at first sight.

“Hey, don't keep looking at me. It was too annoying,” Reza said after drinking a glass of water.

He stared at the surprised Vera flat. Not wanting to be felt to keep stealing glances, Vera swiftly used her trick. He picked up the chicken plate that was in front of Reza.

“Who saw you? I see this, want to add the good ranking!”

“Eh–”

Reza was stunned for a moment before a grin was clearly visible from his face.

“Basic,” muttered Reza.

***

In the room, Reza lay staring at the ceiling of the room filled with flickering star stickers that can emit light. The sticker absorbs light before it is emitted out when it is completely dark.

Reza raised his hand. He stared at her from the cracks of his finger.

“System, can I become a famous goalkeeper all over the world?”

[It can, sir!]

Reza understood the monotonous utterances of the system.

“What can .. I– Ah already!”

Reza then directly tilted her body and began to enter her subconscious.

A faint voice sounded from the distance. In a world that only shows white, it looks like an adult man with good looks wearing a red jersey with a batik pattern in it. He wears gloves on both hands.

“You will become famous as a goalkeeper, remember that.” The figure slowly disappeared as if swallowed by the earth.

The white-colored atmosphere suddenly melted out a black ink liquid that began to fill as far as the eye could see.

“REMEMBER IT!!”

“WOAAHH!” Reza woke up suddenly when the yell was so disturbing.

“Dreams, yes?”

Reza stared at the window, the light of the sun timidly trying to enter the curtain a few millimeters thick.

“After morning, yes?”

Reza sat on the edge of his bed, rubbing his face that looked riled up. There was worry, but I didn't know what it was.

“Ya .. let's do a relaxing day as usual.”

Reza got up from her seat and went to the bathroom. He's taking a shower soon. After that Reza started wearing a gray white uniform with full attributes —taps and tie— to be ready for the ceremony.

Reza opened the room door, there was his mother who already looked beautiful in her work clothes. White long sleeve shirt with a knee-short black skirt. Simple makeup makes it look natural.

“Come breakfast first!”

***

Reza performed the ceremony with his friends on Monday solemnly. Nobody whispered to each other, everything was silent waiting for the flag to be ready to be pulled up.

“Bendera, ready!”

***

In class, Reza and her friends start to have a relaxing day. Learning Maths at the beginning after the ceremony was really dizzying, but they had gotten a little used to it.

“Vania! You are always silent!” Haikal tried to sit next to the shoulder-length hair girl who kept staring at the blue sky.

“Leave me.” A cold tone came out from her tiny lips.

“Hadeh, okay!”

“Come on, she is so-so already declared the smartest in class!” hafid immediately taunted Haikal for not being able to try to talk pleasantries with Vania.

“Huft! You're hard, right?” Haikal added, but only ignored by Hafid.

“Hei, Reza! Yesterday's game was great!”

“Keren too!”

“…”

Some compliments were uttered by her classmates Reza. Haikal feels ostracized, the performance of the defender yesterday really looks bad even in the eyes of ordinary people in the world of football.

Reza himself only spoke a thousand languages with a forced smile.

[Master Leader has risen to 1.3%!]

Reza's knees are limp. He was completely unthinkable when he would finish such a long-term mission.
