Goalkeeper's Story

Chapter 92

Takahashi menjalani sesi wawancara setelah manga terbarunya populer.
"All right, first question for Takahashi-san. What inspires you to write this Tsubasa Shorts: Euro 2020 manga?", tanya wartawan 1.
"The idea came after I watch all of the Euro 2020 match on my television and I really become excited with Monsieur Boruto's action on the event", kata Takahashi.
"But why pick Boruto as the main idea for the whole ideas of your story alongside Tsubasa and Roberto?", tanya wartawan 2.
"It's because of his achievement in such a young age. In club he has achieve 2 times treble plus a sextuple with PSG. Plus, a Euro and a World Cup trophy in just 16 and 18 years of age I mean how cool was that? It's rare to see that kinda player you know that. Ouh, and if you guys wanna ask why I choose Euro 2020 as the background for this story of mine. It's because of the diversity in this edition of Euro's. So I think it's a perfect moment to release that kinda story".
"From the data that I have seen this last two days, the readers of your Tsubasa Short: Euro 2020 showing a positive vibe towards this manga of yours. You're thoughts about it?", tanya wartawan 2.
"I'm so happy and honored to represent this Tsubasa Shorts to my fans and also all manga readers around the world. And I feel really please that you guys love it. I'll try to come up with better ideas for my next Shorts if I could".
"Okay, last question. What do you wanna say to Monsieur Boruto, in case of if he see this interview", tanya wartawan 3.
Takahashi lalu melihat ke kamera. "Monsieur Boruto, you're really my inspiration. You're a gifted goalkeeper that I've ever seen. So, I'm very please that you allow me to use you as the main stories of my Tsubasa Shorts: Euro 2020. Oh yes. I also have red your past about how you live without knowing whose your biological mother and father. I felt sorry for that but my words to you, be strong and never give up. I really hope that one day you'll find the truth about whose your biological parents. Event if it hurts you".
"Well thank you very much for the opportunity to talk to us, Takahashi-san. We from the medias hope that you will produce a better art and also to wish you a healthy and prosperous life".
"You're welcome gentleman". Takahashi lalu keluar dari ruangan interview beserta kilatan kamera yang menyorotinya.

Turin, Italia

Saat ini Ronaldo dan Thiago baru saja berlatih di halaman kediaman mereka. Namun tak seperti biasanya, Ronaldo tidak sesemangat biasanya dan sukses membuat anaknya bingung bukan main.
"Sebenarnya ada apa dengan Daddy hari ini sampai tidak semangat latihan? Saat aku bertanya pada beberapa temannya pun semua tidak mengerti kenapa", batin Thiago bingung. "Kurasa tak ada pilihan lain buatmu, Thiago. Kau harus bertanya pada Daddy daripada kau semakin penasaran".
"Daddy, kenapa Daddy tidak semangat saat kita latihan tadi?", tanya Thiago.
"Yaaah... itu semua karena rekan setim Daddy cedera parah nak", kata Ronaldo.
"Apakah Kak Boruto lagi?", tanya Thiago. Ronaldo mengangguk.
"Memangnya kenapa? Kok Kak Boruto bisa cedera?". "Jadi saat laga UEFA Super Cup melawan Leicester City, tangan Boruto tertendang oleh Mr. Vardy sampai terputar 180 derajat".

"Ouh ya ampun", ucap Thiago terkejut dengan kedua tangannya menutupi mulutnya.
"Memang itulah salah satu resiko dalam menjaga gawang. Resiko paling besarnya adalah kematian", kata Ronaldo singkat. "Namun gara - gara cedera itu Boruto nyaris menjadi gila. Untung saja ada Daddy dan Mr. Buffon juga sehingga ia tak lepas kendali lebih jauh".
"Lalu apakah Kak Boruto sudah pulang ke Italia?". "Sayangnya belum. Mungkin para dokter ingin dia sembuh benar dulu sebelum kembali ke Italia".
Thiago lalu mengelus bahu ayahnya. "Daddy, aku yakin Kak Boruto pasti bisa sembuh dengan cepat. Aku pun sebenarnya juga kesepian karena Kak Boruto sedang tidak bersama kita, tetapi aku mohon agar Daddy kuat. Kan Daddy sendiri yang ajarkan padaku kalau semua lelaki harus kuat bukan?".
Ronaldo tidak memberi jawaban dan hanya menundukkan kepalanya. Thiago lalu membaringkan diri di paha ayahnya. "Daddy, tidak apa-apa. Kak Boruto memang hanya tengah apes saja saat itu. Jadi Daddy tak perlu menyalakan diri sendiri oke?".
Ronaldo mengangguk lalu mengelus surai hitam anaknya yang berbaring di pahanya.
