The Era Of Footballer
Chapter 14 - Recruit Member Part 2
Two days have passed since Hamka joined the football club. The sun has passed its peak, some extracurricular activities/clubs have started to run.
The boisterous sound of each existing club, made Diego who sat in front of the club room (along with Hamka and Rigla) could not stand the silence waiting for the prospective new members.
"Siaalla! We can't keep going like this!" diego shouted standing up suddenly making the chair he was sitting on toppled over.
Hamka was surprised and put on an awkward face, while Rigla sat cross-legged with both eyes closed.
"Well, Hamka is indeed a unique case .. To get more members, we have to start being aggressive" Rigla said.
Hamka nodded his head.
"Hamka, does any of your acquaintances have an interest in football?" ask Rigla.
"Yes! Yep! What's up?!" said Diego ambitiously closing his face to Hamka.
Hamka who was still nervous, gulped. "Ma-sorry .. I don't know. Friends I know no one has an interest in football ...."
The answer left Diego's fiery eyes extinguished instantly.
"Yes ... then how else ..." said Diego tangled moody who then played ground with his index finger.
This child .. Rigla's inner self is upset to see Diego's behavior.
"Hah .. let's look at the clubs that have started their club activities" Rigla said.
"W-what's the matter? What if someone comes?" ask Hamka.
Diego stood up, patted his ass, and walked up to Rigla. Seeing Diego walking around just like that made Hamka even more confused.
"Come, you're a new kid too, right? Later if someone wants to join us, then that person will definitely wait. Because what? Because a true footballer .." said Diego who continues to speak like a motivator who fantasizes.
With her head slightly shaken tilted forward, Rigla gestured for Hamka to come with her immediately. The hesitant Hamka, standing from his seat past Diego who was still constantly talking.

The back door of the school opened, making the originally crowded atmosphere quiet. The students who had been walking stopped, who were talking became silent. They were terrified to see Rigla coming in from the back door.
The students automatically pulled over, like there was a red carpet in front of Rigla that they could not touch. Hamka who had only seen from afar, or been one of those who were afraid, now felt what Rigla and Diego felt.
"Sucks .." said Diego, heard by Hamka.
Sucks ...? Isn't cool?! Look .. They are all subject to you! inner Hamka was quite excited.
Rigla glanced at Hamka at a glance.
The three walked across the school hall like a king escorted by two knights. The students are stealing glances wondering about who the new figure is near Rigla and Diego. They put on an envious and annoyed look at Hamka.
And it was also his first time, Hamka got such attention.
The three climbed the stairs leading to the top floor. When the three were no longer seen, the students returned to their usual activities.
"Hah .. hah, hah, hah .." said Hamka panting limp and in cold sweat. With his back against the wall, he let his body slide slowly down until he sat down.
"You must have thought that was a cool thing, didn't you?" ask Rigla with a sharp eye.
Hamka trembled for a moment, not expecting Rigla to read his mind. Rigidly, he lifted his head looking at Rigla's face.
"The gaze they give .. will be your daily consumption. Never think that football today is as beautiful as the shadow of your childhood" Rigla warned Hamka.
Hamka gulped, bowing his head. He felt ashamed because he had been high-hearted about something that he did not even achieve.
Diego grabs Hamka and says, "Calm down, though hard, gini-gini he thinks about you, you know! If he were very bodo with you, he wouldn't have warned you." Diego smiled broadly by giving his thumbs up.
Hamka smiled with my eyes.
Diego stood up, extending his hand towards Hamka. Hamka received the helping hand and the three walked back.
Just as they were reading the signboard, the door of the sewing club room suddenly opened.
"I told you, didn't I?! But why are you guys still yawning, huh?!" snapped a schoolgirl with her eyes closed slammed the door.
The sewing club members who had originally put on angry faces and looked like they wanted to shout at the schoolgirl, immediately turned pale and pretended to smile.
"Ni-Ninda .." said one of the students closest to the schoolgirl who opened the door.
"SHUSH! Anyway I want to go first! As long as you guys still don't consider my request, I'll go!" said Ninda who then hit Rigla's chest.
"Gee! Now especially?!" ninda said, then opened her eyes.
Deng ... his annoyed face chime with his anger turning pale.
Erase us .. Inner Ninda and her clubmates.
"Shy! How fortuitous. I'm taking my two juniors to check out the clubs at our school! Can you introduce your club to them?" said Diego pulling Rigla and Hamka's shoulders.
"b-h ... Diego, yes .. ahaha, of course you can," replied Ninda laughing nervously with wide-open eyes glancing at her friends as if shouting for help.
Ninda .. the inner spirit of her clubmates.
You people!! ninda was upset.
"So, how?" asked Diego with a slight raise of his eyebrows.
"O-oh, yeah ...." Ninda glanced at Rigla then slammed her gaze. "Please enter ...."
Ninda began introducing the members of the sewing club to Diego, Rigla, and Hamka. The members of the sewing club bowed when they were introduced by Ninda.
"And the last ..."
The sound of sewing machines sounding. A student with somewhat messy hair, open top buttons, was sewing with difficulty.
"Oi, Sarr!" whispered one of the sewing club members.
"Huh? What's up?" answer Sarr who is still focused on the seams. Sarr was so focused on the seams that sweat unconsciously dripped and hit the seams. "SILLY! Wipes, where's the tissue?!" he said he finally looked around.
He found his fist and immediately tried to wipe away his dripping sweat.
"Damn, shit, shit .. eh?" said Sarr who was just aware of the presence of Rigla.
"DANH!! I-I'M SORRY!" said Sarr who quickly ran to face Rigla and bowed. "My name is Sarr, Alfredo Sarr. Please don't kill me!"
Rigla and Diego put on flat faces, while Hamka blinked in confusion seeing Sarr's reaction and Rigla and Diego's response.
"Stand up, Sarr .. He's not a murderer. Besides, if he's a killer, it's been the needle you've been holding that he stuck into your eyeball" Diego said, scaring Sarr a little.
Sarr was horrified to hear what Diego said.
"Diego!" ninda snapped with a fist.
"Ahaha, kidding!" reply Diego with a laugh.
Diego's laughter suddenly came to a halt as he remembered something.
"Oh, yes .." said Diego, who got everyone's attention on him. "Isn't Sarr a footballer?"
