Chapter 42: SYSTEM!
Helder Xerxes opened his eyes.
The nurse in the room did not notice that Helder had opened his eyes.
Helder could hardly move his fingers.
The nurse saw Helder's hands move as he fiddled with the papers.
And she made eye contact with Helder…
"Miracle…"
"Miracle…" she began to shout.
She was so excited that her heart was beating so fast.
She then ran to inform the doctors.
At first, they thought she was joking when the nurse told the doctors that Helder Xerxes had woken up.
But seeing the seriousness and excitement in her eyes, they rushed to Helder's room too.
Yes…
Helder Xerxes had indeed awakened.
The doctors couldn't believe what they were seeing.
One of the doctors came forward.
He checked his eyes, arms, legs.
"Can you hear me, Helder?" he asked.
"Yes doctor, I hear you." said Helder.
Then they did a lot of tests on him.
And the results of the test were even more surprising.
Helder Xerxes looked completely healed.
The doctors immediately informed Helder's family of this good news.
The first time they heard it, they could not control their tears.
They immediately came to the hospital and hugged their son.
His mother and father were old.
After so much stress, both of their hair turned white.
Helder felt bad.
These words were heard from his mouth.
"Sorry. I apologize to both of you…"
His mother hugged Helder, crying.
"I don't expect an apology from you, son. We are very happy to have you back." said.
Yes, a miracle had happened…
***
It was evening.
Helder was alone in the room.
He was angry because of the voice he had heard since morning.
A voice in his head had been telling him one thing since morning.
[SYSTEM STILL FINDS HELDER XERXES WEAK...]
[SYSTEM STILL FINDS HELDER XERXES WEAK...]
[SYSTEM STILL FINDS HELDER XERXES WEAK...]
[SYSTEM STILL FINDS HELDER XERXES WEAK...]
"Enough!" shouted Helder.
There was silence for a moment.
And the voice of the system was heard again.
[SYSTEM WILL HELP YOU…]
[SYSTEM WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE...]
[SYSTEM WILL PROTECT YOU FROM ANYTHING...]
[DO NOT WANT THIS, HELDER XERXES?]
"I don't want to." said Helder without thinking.
There was silence again.
[DO YOU HATE BEING A GOALKEEPER?]
"What does this have to do with our topic?"
[YES, YOU SHOULD HATE…]
[SYSTEM IS AGAINST YOU…]
"Angry?"
[DO YOU THINK YOU WILL BE SUCCESSFUL AFTER 8 YEARS?]
"Eight years?"
Yes, no one told Helder that he was in a coma for 8 years.
Helder couldn't believe it after hearing that.
He wanted to get up and look for a mirror, but his body was weak at the moment as his system said.
He couldn't stand up.
[SYSTEM SHOWS YOU ITS FACE…]
"What is happening?" he asked when he suddenly saw his own face…
His face was old…
"Ahahahahaha…" he laughed.
"So this is a new game of destiny." said.
"Damn football and goalkeeping!" said.
[SYSTEM SMILES…]
"And you're smiling too..."
[IT IS NOT LATE FOR ANYTHING HELDER XERXES…]
[JUST BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM AND YOURSELF…]
[WANT TO BE THE WORLD'S BEST GOALKEEPER AGAIN?]
"The best goalkeeper in the world?"
"Do not make a joke to me…"
"Who would offer a goalkeeper to someone who was in a coma for 8 years?"
"How can I climb to the top again?"
"As you say, who would believe this weak body?"
There was silence again.
[SYSTEM FIND WHAT IT SAID FUNNY…]
"Is it funny?"
[SYSTEM IS MAKING YOU AN OFFER…]
[WANT TO BE THE BEST IN HISTORY?]
[YES X NO]
