The Era Of Footballer
Chapter 16 - Recruit Member Part 3
Dea then walked to the cashier's desk, which was right next to the canteen's mother, paid for it and took her order. He then walked past the students who still did not dare to make a move.
"You're not hungry? Didn't Rigla give you permission?" dea asked, looking at the students.
The students who had seen Dea, turned their faces right after they glanced slightly at Rigla's face.
Hah ... troublesome .. Inner Rigla who then walks orders food.
"I'm Aqua one, ma'am," said Rigla, who then handed the money to the cashier.
"Before a moment" answered the Canteen Mother who took a bottle of Aqua from the refrigerator and gave it to Rigla.
Rigla thanked him and walked away to where Diego and Hamka were sitting.
"So, what's the fun of a school?" ask Dea who's waiting for Rigla to finish ordering. Rigla gave a reply to a sour face. "Ahahaha, kidding!" dea said with a laugh.
Rigla sat opposite Diego and Hamka, followed by Dea sitting next to him.
"Oh, Dea! Do you want to join our club?" ask Diego who surprised Rigla and Hamka.
"Can, so what am I?" ask Dea.
"How manager?" reply Diego.
"okay."
Short conversation, no basis that makes jidat Rigla twitch. Rigla squeezes her drinking bottle and makes the water spurt open the bottle cap forcibly.
"W-What's up, Rigla?" asked Diego who was a little surprised to see Rigla suddenly angry.
"Sir Diego is insensitive, yes .." said Hamka sighing accompanied by a small laugh from Dea.
The four then began to discuss about the tournament/competition that will soon roll. Dea who had only first heard about the competition wondered about many things. Starting from who is the organizer, when it is held, to the prize of the competition.
"Oi, oi, I know you just joined but one-on-one the question!" said Diego who is not strong to hear the questions terbibi from Dea.
"Ahaha, I was so excited .." replied Dea closing her mouth who was chewing food.
"Kunyah used to talk," said ketus Diego who made Dea's eel twitch.
"The customer is the Minister of Sports of Indonesia, the implementation time is three months away (October). For the reward I didn't read it" replied Rigla, who had sipped her drink.
"Ooo, what about your members?" ask Dea.
The srekk! Like a sickle of a grim reaper pierced right in the chest, Dea's question pierced Rigla, Diego, and Hamka's chest sharply. The three were stunned unable to say anything.
It seems like I just crossed the line .. Inner Dea saw the three people nearby putting on a stiff face and holding in shame.

The four of them had finished speaking, they intended to return to their respective classes because the bell marking the end of the break had rung.
In the classroom, Rigla; Diego; and Hamka are not focused on taking lessons. Their brains are full of football. They really have to rack their brains to find a way to get at least 11 people's quota fulfilled immediately.
As Rigla was daydreaming looking up at the sky, her classroom door opened. Mr. Yudha came and asked permission to borrow Rigla.
"Rigla" said the teacher who was teaching.
Rigla did not respond.
"Rily!" yelled Mr. Yudha who shook the whole class.
Rigla was a little surprised and immediately looked towards the classroom door. Rigla immediately stood up and asked, "What's up, sir?"
"Follow me for a moment" said Mr. Yudha with a hand gesture telling him to come closer.
Rigla immediately walked towards the classroom door. He greeted the teacher and Mr. Yudha said, "Come, sir, sorry to interrupt."
The door closes from the outside. Rigla who was twice called out of the classroom, made Elina curious.
It must be about football .. but what is it? inner Elina.

"You already know why, right?" replied Yudha sir casually.
"Competition .." said Rigla.
Mr. Yudha nodded. A few moments later, they saw Diego and Hamka who were already at the door of the principal's room. Mr. Yudha and Rigla stop near Diego and Hamka. Diego introduces Hamka who is a new member of the football club.
"Hamka, yes .. oh, the introduction after this only because now there is more urgent," said Mr. Yudha. "Before we enter the room, I want to give you one warning. No matter what happens, you need to stay calm. Can you promise me?" ask Mr. Yudha.
Rigla smelled an awkwardness, while Diego and Hamka immediately replied, "Yes."
Mr. Yudha nodded, held the doorknob, and opened it.
"Good day, sir. I have brought the people," said Mr. Yudha entering the principal's room.
When Rigla, Diego, and Hamka were about to set foot into the principal's room, they came to a halt. Diego and Hamka quickly looked straight at Rigla. Eyes bulging with veins in the tightened temples showed just how furious Rigla was at the moment.
In the room, there was Michel and his accomplice. Once Rigla saw them, Michel and his accomplice goosebumps and turned away in cold sweat.
"Rigla .." said Diego and Hamka.
Rigla closed her eyes, trying to stay calm. "Come on," said Rigla.
Rigla enters the principal's room followed by Diego and Hamka.
"Please sit down" said the Principal with a gesture of hand to invite Rigla and the new one to sit down.
Two large sofas face off, occupied by the Rigla fort and Michel fort. While the Principal and Mr. Yudha sat on a single sofa facing each other.
"Let's get straight to the main conversation. Have you read the poster on the notice board?" ask Kepsek.
Everyone nodded.
"Good, it means no need to beat around the bush. The main purpose of calling you here is to ask you to be a representative of our school in the competition. As you know, the competition is compulsory. With your number, then at least the minimum quota of 11 people and 1 coach has been fulfilled" said the Principal.
A silent atmosphere was created. No one spoke after the Principal stopped talking.
"Sir Kepsek, with all due respect, this competition will be filled by the students who have Novis. Those who do not have Novis, if you send it to the green field, just as you tell your soldiers to kill themselves" said Mr. Yudha.
"Although it is heavily acknowledged, but what was said by Mr. Yudha was true, sir .... Among us, only Michel has that talent" said one of Michel's friends, who had threatened students to stay away from Rigla..
"Yes, it's true what Reva said" said another of Michel's friends with a heavy heart. Michel's friends restrained their anger over their weakness, staring at the floor with their hands firmly clenched.
Michel, who from the beginning swooped with both hands together, did not respond to anything. The Principal, who understood the dangers of football for ordinary people, sighed and could only agree with his friends Michel.
"Okay, I seem to have been too selfish. I'm sorry. For those who are not interested, please leave this room," said the Principal.
Michel's friends, with gloomy and heavy-hearted faces, walked away leaving Michel. They patted Michel on the back, intending to give him a little encouragement.
The door closed from the outside, leaving Principal, Diego, Rigla, Hamka, and Michel.
"Sir Kepsek, for now, only they are known to have Novis," said Pak Yudha.
The Chief looked at the students before him one by one. "Four people .. still need seven people. I heard, you guys have tried to recruit members, but judging from the ones present .. It seems that it is indeed difficult to find members."
Rigla, Diego, and Hamka turned their faces to the ground gloomily, embarrassed by their failure to recruit members.
"What's wrong, from now on, I'll support you. Please contact me about what you need in the recruitment process of this member," said the Principal.
Diego and Hamka who were originally moody, immediately looked at the Principal with a big smile. "Thank you, sir!" say both compactly. The two then very excitedly discussed what they were going to do. Mr. Yudha and the Principal smiled to see the spirit of the two young people who were in front of them.
"Sir Kepsek .. May I ask you one thing?" ask Rigla who's still swooping in.
"Please," replied the Principal with a smile.
"This competition ... what is the purpose?" asked Rigla to look directly at the Principal.
