CHAPTER 21: FIFA NIGHT AWARD

That morning;

All players are training as usual.

"So, mate. How do you feel about this weekend?" asked Greenwood.

"Well, nothing much. I want to win it but it's depends on the fans around the world to choose which goal deserved that award" replied Aaron.

"Don't worry. I'm sure you'll win it" said Rashford.

"Hope so" replied Aaron.

"Boys, less talking and more shooting if you don't mind" said Solksjær.

"Yes, sir" replied all forward as they continue their training.

Later on;

Aaron walked home from training with Millie.

"So, babe. Who's your +1 to FIFA Annual Award?" asked Millie.

"I was thinking it's either Mal, Rose or Tierna" replied Aaron.

"Really? You want to go with other girls when you already dating me?" asked Millie disbelief.

"Of course not. Those 3 might asked me to pay for everything if I want to go with them" replied Aaron. Millie giggled.

"So, you're going with Diana then" said Millie.

"Not a bad idea but I have someone else in mind" replied Aaron.

"Who is it, then?" asked Millie.

"You, of course. Who else" replied Aaron before poked Millie's cheek.

"I know you're going to say that" said Millie.

"Then, why bother asking?" asked Aaron.

"Because I want to hear it directly from you. But I can't believe that you said the name of other 3 girls" replied Millie. Aaron chuckled.

"Jealous?" asked Aaron.

"Of course I do. Those 3 are cute after all" replied Millie.

"But they are not you. So, don't worry. They're my bestfriends just like Tooney. You never get jealous when I talk to Tooney, right?" asked Aaron. Millie nodded.

"Then, don't be jealous towards Mal, Rose and Tierna. Besides, Alex likes you. She will kill me if I break your heart" Aaron continued. Millie giggled.

"I'm glad you and Alex are in good term now" said Millie.

"Thanks to you of course. I don't know if we can ever be good again if it's not because of you" replied Aaron.

"So, is it mean I'll get reward or something?" asked Millie.

"Well, let's go for date later on. We'll see what can I do to give you the reward that you deserved" replied Aaron.

"Can we go for a ride? It's been a while since the last time we ride on your bike together" said Millie.

"That is such a great idea. I'll pick you up later" replied Aaron.

"Set. No wonder I love you so much" said Millie.

"Awww, I love you too" replied Aaron.

Later on;

As Aaron enters the house, he saw Chris and Tooney are having a heart to heart talk.

"Hi, mate" said Tooney.

"Hey, there. Is everything okay?" asked Aaron.

"Not really. That's why we're here to talk about it" replied Chris.

"I see. I'm going to leave it to you both. Just don't break anything in this place" said Aaron as he walked to his room.

Later on;

Aaron took Millie to Moses Gate Country Park.

"Never tired seeing this place" said Millie.

"I know that. That's why I bring you here as part of the reward" replied Aaron. Millie giggled.

"C'mon, babe. Don't take it seriously. I'm just joking though. I'm really happy seeing you and your sister are good now" said Millie.

"I know that, babe. It just that I'm truly being grateful for what you did" replied Aaron.

"So, how do you feel about FIFA Annual Awards Night?" asked Millie.

"I'm nervous a bit. But, I think I'll be fine" replied Aaron.

"Good to hear that. So, do you think you can win?" asked Millie.

"Have you vote for me?" asked Aaron in returned. Millie grinned.

"Not yet" replied Millie.

"Then, how do you expect me to win when my own girlfriend still not give a vote for me" said Aaron while pinched Millie's nose.

"Well, Hariz is an old friend" replied Millie.

"Kelley's stepbrother? Never know that" said Aaron.

"Well, not many people knows" replied Millie.

"I see. But I have to admit it. His goal against Indonesia deserved to win too" said Aaron.

"Yeah. Too bad he chose Malaysia over England. He's the best option since Kane is out of form lately" replied Millie.

"Well, I won't argue with you on that. But it's not that I don't understand why he chose Malaysia though. He was born there after all" said Aaron. Millie just nodded.

That night;

Aaron just lying down on his bed when he get a FaceTime request from Mal, Lindsey, Rose and Tierna.

Aaron: Hi, girls.

Tierna: Hi, there. How you doing?

Aaron: Great so far. What about you girls?

Lindsey: We're good.

Mal: So, how do you feel about FIFA Annual Awards Night? Do you think you can win the Puskas?

Aaron: I think I can but I still need you girls to vote for me too.

Rose: Already done it. So, don't worry.

Tierna: But I think it wil be a close call. Eagles made quite a name for himself while Salah is another player that was said future Ballon D'Or winner too just like you.

Aaron: I think so.

Lindsey: So, who will be your +1?

Aaron: Millie of course.

Tierna: As expected. So, who do you think will win Ballon D'Or this year?

Aaron: I think Lewandowski will win it this year.

Mal: Not the aliens?

Aaron: Nope. I think they both are taking easy this year.

Rose: Really? But Ronaldo won the UEFA Nations League with Portugal last summer.

Aaron: That just a Nations League though. But who knows.

Tierna: Maybe you will win it.

Aaron: No, I'm not even on the shortlist. I might making impact in the domestic tournament and Europa League. I never play in Champions League. So, I don't think that I'll win it this year.

Lindsey: Maybe next year is your year.

Aaron: Hope so. So, any of you girls will coming to Milan?

Mal: Nope. We're not being shortlisted in any awards.

Aaron: You will be next year.

Rose: Hope so. Anyway, I think we have disturb you enough. You should take a sleep now.

Aaron: Yeah. Let's talk again sometimes.

Mal: Okay, dude. Take care.

Aaron: Same goes to you girls. Goodbye then.

All ladies: Bye.

Then they hung up.

Few days later;

Aaron and Millie just arrived at the arena in Milan when he saw Alex, Serv, Kelley and Hariz.

"Hi, sis" greeted Aaron before hugged his sister.

"Hi, baby boy. You're good?" asked Alex.

"Always" replied Aaron before let Alex go.

"Are you both come here together?" asked Millie to Hariz and Kelley.

"Yes" replied Kelley.

"Is it okay for step-siblings to come together?" asked Aaron.

"Well, it's not that I have other choice though" replied Hariz before drinks his energy drink.

"I can help you if you want to come with Jackie, you know" said Millie causing Hariz to accidentally spit out his drink.

"Jackie Groenen, huh. Great taste, little bro" said Kelley.

"I don't know what are you talking about" replied Hariz.

"Aren't you asked Mason to tell her that you said hi before?" asked Aaron.

"Well, it just a hi though" replied Hariz.

"By the guys, we're better get in now or we'll get a bad seats" said Serv.

"That's true. Let's go" said Hariz.

"He just avoiding the topic" said Aaron as all of them walked into the arena.

"I know. But it's understandable. He was rejected plenty of time already. So, he gave up to find girlfriend and live his life as single" replied Millie.

"I see" said Aaron.

Later on;

David Beckham and Heather O'Reilley are already on the stage.

"Puskas Award is an award to appreciate the arts of goals scored from a player" said Heather.

"That's true. And the final nominees for this year are..." said Beckham before a montage were played.

Mohamad Salah's goal in the final match of UEFA Champions League 2018/19 against Tottenham Hotspurs.

Hariz Eagles' goal against Indonesia in the group stage of 2022 FIFA World Cup and 2023 AFC Asian Cup Qualification.

Aaron Morgan's goal against Liverpool in 2019/20 season of Barclays Premier League.

"So, what do you think about the finalist, David?" asked Heather.

"Well, all of them deserved to win it tonight. But too bad that we can only have 1 winner. And the winner for 2019 Puskas Award goes to.... Hariz Eagles!!" announced Beckham. Hariz then stood up, give Kelley a quick hug before walked to the stage.

"Too bad that you didn't win it, Aaron" said Alex.

"It's okay. There is always next year. Besides, I lost to one of the best striker in Premier League this season after all" replied Aaron.

"Maybe you'll win Puskas and Ballon D'Or next year" said Millie.

"Hope so" replied Aaron.
