In Your Wildest Dream

46

LIRON'S POV

We're here at my condo dahil nagyakag silang uminom since wala naman kaming appointment for tomorrow.

"Kamusta? Lumambot na ba si Abby sa panunuyo mo?"tanong ni Gian kay Howard pero agad na umiling si Howard at ininom ang beer na hawak nya

It's been five years already but here I am still longing for the love that I lost five years ago. Minsan naiinggit ako sa dalawang mokong na 'to kasi sila they can now see their woman kahit na palagi silang tinataboy palayo habang ako wala pa ring alam kung nasaan si Avery.

"Shit!"Howard cursed when Niel spit his drink directly on his shirt

"Si Avery—"hindi makapaniwalang sabi nito habang nakatingin sa phone nya

"What is it?"agad na tanong ko when I heard her name

"She posted on her account thirty minutes ago"he said na agad nagpakilos sa akin para kuhanin ang phone ko

I immediately search for her account and she really posted on her instagram account. It's a picture of a rubber shoes.

'It's been a while...'

Damn! It's not a picture of her but I am so damn happy that she finally has something after five years..

Shit!

"Go message her—it's the day you've been waiting for"sambit ni Gian at ngumiti silang lahat sa akin

I immediately composed a message for her and sent it quickly but hours had passed—she didn't even read my messages like she used to do. Bagsak balikat akong uminom ng alak habang nakatitig sa phone ko.

Do you really hate me this much Charry?

"It's okay—try again tomorrow. You waited for a long time, ngayon ka pa ba susuko kung kailan nagparamdam na ulit?!"pagpapalakas ng loob ni Niel

"M-Mahal na mahal ko yon! I've never been in love like this. Si Charry lang mula noon hanggang ngayon"medyo lasing na sabi ko at mapait na napangiti

I want to see you so bad mahal ko!

"Dre, remember earlier when I told you that I met a kid who asked me something but I didn't understand because of her different language?" Howard said to us, actually kanina nya pa binabanggit yan

"The little girl na sinabi mong parang nakita mo na somewhere?"Niel asked at agad naman na tumango si Howard

"I'm sure that I've seen that face before—it's so familiar but I can't figure it out"naguguluhang sabi nito at muling ininom ang alak na hawak nya

I don't have time for some thing—all I need to do is to know where the woman that I love is...

AVERY'S POV

After a long time, I would be back inside the court with all the people who owns a big part of my life. Kinakabahan ako dahil hindi ko alam kung anong magiging reaction ng mga tao. I am staying on a separate room na medyo may kalayuan sa mga teammates ko. They're already in the court and sakto namang bumukas ang pinto at bumungad sa akin ang mukha ng isang staff.

It's time...

I am now wearing a pink jersey shirt with my surname on the back of it and of course number 14..

All the starting line ups looks confused dahil kulang ng isang player ang pinasok ni Coach. I am seeing them dahil medyo malapit na ako...

"Jersey number 1, team captain, Jana Rivera!"
