The Era Of Footballer

Chapter 24 - Eighth Member

Message: Sorry two days ago there was no update chapter because Author fell ill. So happy and happy reading!

Day after day continued, until unknowingly two weeks had passed. The popularity of football clubs is increasing every day. Every day, more and more students come just to watch the training football club.

Slowly but surely, the students began to accept the existence of their school football club. And that certainly makes Rigla and his friends happy. However, just like the real world, when there is someone who is happy, there must be people who are not happy.

"Suck!" said upset students who photographed Rigla by hitting the wall of the building behind the school.

Michel's friends who had bullied Rigla gathered in the back building of the school, ditching him with a box of cigarettes.

"Fyuh .. I know how you feel. But what else, you don't remember the power?" reply to students who warn students.

"Yes ..but because of that we lost our position in school!" said upset the student who photographed Rigla.

An unfinished cigarette is dropped by a quiet student who always accompanies Michel. He then stepped on and turned off the cigarette and then intended to leave.

"Where are you going?" ask the student who gave the warning.

"Class."

"Fuck, are you going to leave this group too?!"

"What harm? The only reason I joined was because of Michel. Michel's gone, there's no reason for me to be here."

His reticence made Michel's plot angry.

"Fuck! Comehere you! I'll finish you off!" the students who gave the warning.

Dak! A direct blow floated up, hitting right on the right cheek of the student who was intending to leave. William was staggered, but he quickly managed to balance his body again. He then looked in the direction that hit him..

"William ... From the beginning you just kept quiet ... And all of a sudden you want to just walk away? Fine ... may .. but I'll beat you up first!" said the student who presented the challenge to Rigla.

The students who were old conspirators Michel immediately moved from his place and intended to beat William.

William put up the basic horses of karate. He then let out a gust of wind strong enough to make those who intend to attack him dragged backwards.

"Donage .. I never knew he had Novis ...!"

The wind was getting stronger to make his old plot crashed all and hit the wall or tree, and fainted instantly.

William then sighed and turned his body. He then walked away leaving his old friends unconscious.

***

The time of rest has come. As usual, Rigla; Diego; Hamka; and the members of the football club gathered in the cafeteria. As usual, they were the focus of the students. But this time something was different. All eyes are on someone.

Someone who bowed before them.

"Join ... with our club?!" ask Diego in disbelief.

William still bowed without answering.

"Reason?" ask Rigla who then gulps down Aqua.

"I want to play ball."

The answer left Rigla slightly choking and the others shocked. William, although he was always silent, but everyone knew him. It could be said, he was Michel's right hand man.

William is not like Michel's conspirators in general. He rarely took action, it could even be said that he would not act if not ordered by Michel.

"Wait a wait .. Aren't you Michel's right-hand man?" ask Diego who still doesn't believe.

William did not answer. However, his hands were clenched. Rigla and Diego knew it.

"Dea!" said Diego.

"Didn't you need members? With him, then you have eight members, right? It's not how it is, but your club is unique. Getting one member is already a very valuable count, right?"

As always, Dea speech is a painful fact.

"I don't know what your motives are (towards William), but I agree with Dea. The rest depends on Diego" said Rigla, who then left his bench.

"Heh?! Me?!" diego pointed at himself.

Rigla did not respond and just focused on walking towards the mother canteen. Diego then looked back at William, and William was still flinching with his bent position.

Diego thought hard. He then glanced at the club friends who were beside him. The glance made the club members immediately turned their faces because they knew something bad was going to happen.

"Hm hm hm, I've decided."

The club members glanced slightly towards Diego. William still kept bowing.

"If they say 'yes', then you are accepted! Therefore, bye bye! I'll order some food first!" said Diego who then ran after Rigla.

"Sir Diego!" shouted the club members did not accept.

Deng ... the atmosphere of silence full of awkwardness enveloped the remaining members of the club. They look to the place where Dea was last, but it turns out that Dea also ran with Diego.

"How is this ...?" said Hamka and the others.

Hamka and the others looked towards William.

"Receive it!" bima said as usual always nervous.

Hamka and the others looked towards Bima.

"A-do you not remember about .. uhm ... early on we want to join the club? The nervousness we're going through?"

Bima's speech was like a baseball bat hitting the memory of Hamka and the others. They are reminded of times where they are nervous and scared instead of playing. The nervousness of trying to reach the ideals, the fear of not being accepted either by Rigla and Diego or by the school residents.

Bima who saw the faces of her friends was swooping, a little moody considering the past, (Bima) smiled. "Therefore, let us accept."

Hamka and the others raised their heads and smiled. "It seems that no one objected and agreed with what Bima said," said Hamka who saw one by one the faces of his club friends.

"Alright, the five of us agreed to accept you. Welcome to the football club, Brother William!" said Hamka who then stood up and reached out followed (standing) by Bima and the others.

William then raised his head, looking at the hand that was extended to him. His mouth was slightly open in disbelief.

"You ... seriously accept me?" ask William.

"Yes, of course!" said Diego who suddenly came and embraced and uphold William's body.

This is the person ..inner Hamka and the others.

"As you heard, from today on you are a member of our club! Don't forget to come practice, yes!" said Diego who then ate the skewer.

William's chest was a little tight, his eyes were a little teary. "Yes ..it's great to join you guys."
