Too much, but not enough.

Comfort

He was superb every game, nanonood pa rin ako sa TV if ever hindi ko talaga kayang manood sa court. Gusto ko kasing patunayan kay Papa na hindi ako na di-distract ngayon, mas gusto kong makita niya na inspirado akong gawin ang lahat ng 'to. Even if he's doing good, hindi sapat. Mas lamang ang talo sa team nila dahil nahihirapan din sila sa ibang kalaban.

Good thing wala ngayong tao sa bahay, nasa trabaho si Papa, si Mama may appointment and my sibling are in school.

Our university was ranked, 8th place out of 12. That's why they need to beat twice the team on the first rank. It a round robin scheme.

I saw a lot of banners, a lot of people cheering for our school. He was the first five of his team. As of now, this match is a do or die game for our university. That's why all out support is what the team needs.

Napagusapan namin ni Craeolle na okay lang na hindi ako manood ngayon kasi exam ko bukas at may tinatapos din akong deadline for our School Journal. Gladly, he understand that. Minsan ako na yung na g-guilty dahil nagbibigay pa rin siya ng ticket kung sakaling magbago raw ang isip ko at pumunta ako.

"Davies, for three!" I heard the court announcer said. Napangiti na lang ako, dahil pag tapos niyang maishoot 'yon ay nag time out ang kalaban. He has 7 points in the first 5 minutes of the game, he also had a lot of assist. I cheered in my head. 

I'm currently doing a news report about the currents here in our country, while I was writing, natigil ang maingay na sigawan ng tao sa TV, I saw Craeolle on the ground. Agad kong napansin ang pananakit na iniinda niya.

Lamang pa ang frustrations na ipinapakita niya, hindi sila nakakalamang kanina pero ngayon, he did his best to score every time he has the chance.

I think his right ankle is the one whose hurt. Ang lakas ng tibok ng dibdib ko, nanlalamig rin ako sa kaba, hindi ko marinig ang ingay dahil naka focus lang ako sa kanya. 

Nang ipinakita ang replay, I saw how his ankle twisted when his foot land on the surface. His hands never left his face, he was covering it. 

I ran to the bathroom and change my clothes, I don't care how messy I am right now. I just need to make sure that he is okay.

"Ellie, I badly need your help," I called Ellie because I know she's the one who can help me with this.

"Tathi, I heard what happened, I'll pick up you," She calmly said.

Good thing, Ellie was buying something on the mall near our house.

After a few minutes, she was riding a motorcycle. She handed me a helmet.

"Where did you get this helmet?" Naguguluhang tanong ko. Alam ko na may motorbike siya, pero umaalis ba siya ng dalawa ang helmet na dala niya?

"I bought it," She lazily said.

I rode the motorcycle and tried to reach Craeolle, it was a long ride from our house down to the arena that they were playing.

"Cannot be reach," Naiinis na sabi ko.

"Baka dinala na siya sa hospital?" Mariin akong napapikit. 

I'm still trying to reach out Craeolle's phone. Ellie also held her phone trying to contact someone.

"Tathriana, let's go, I got his location," Elliana said while she was busy starting the engine of his motorbike.

I didn't speak, I just rode her motor. I prayed that this is not a serious matter. It's better to have ankle injury than knee injury.
