Dugout....

Mikha's POV:

Everyone's cheering.

The loud noise.

Shoes scratching and jumping.

The sound of the balls bouncing from the ground.

Ito na ulit, after many years of shutting this world. Heto na ulit ako, opening my doors for a comeback.

Colet: "Wala ng atrasan capt." Sambit nito na nasa likod ko while tapping my right shoulder habang may kayakap akong bola sa harap ko. Kinakabahan ako.

Gwen: "Win or lose, we're still proud of you being our leader." Sulpot nito and also tapping my left shoulder.

"Ang drama niyo! Mga bading!"

Colet: "Luh, parang siya hindi."

Gwen: "Basta 'wag ka kabahan, andito lang kami ni ate Cols." Ngiting sambit nito at ngumiti nalang ako ng tipid.

Coach K.: "Tara na sa court! Capt. Lead the warm-up. After 5 minutes, free spiking naman, then receive, lastly is serving. Let's go!"

I gathered all of my teammates and huddle.

I placed my hand in the middle. "JUF red lady spikers!" After I said the words, everyone followed and placed their hands on the middle.

"All for him." We shouted together and raised our pointer finger up dedicating this game for our friends, family, university, and God.

As we went outside the dugout, we started to do our warm-ups while my eyes began to look for someone.

"Ang daming tao! Okay lang ba siya?" Bulong ko sa sarili. Everyone in the stadium shouts like there's no tomorrow.

Colet: "Andyan sila malapit sa bench natin, efas na efas 'yon erp. Bantay sarado pa nga ng mga guards mo eh." She said like she knows what I'm thinking.

"Edi wow." Nasabi ko nalang and look everywhere near our bench and luckily I saw her with her friends.

She's looking at me and also wave her hand and whispered something 'Go Mikhs'

Gwen: "Ay wala toh. Nakangiti na, good mood na toh. Pustahan makaka 25 points 'to in 3 sets." Sambit ng katabi ko while doing burpees.

"Tumahimik ka, parang 'di ka binati ni Maloi kanina ah." Pangbawi ko rito kaya namula ito at nauna na sa akin. Tingnan mo, pabebe amp.

Commentator: "PUVT season 88 first game of the tournament!" Everyone shouted their lungs out.

'Di mo aakalaing ganito pala karami ang supporters ng volleyball community sa pilipinas.

Commentator: "Starting with the Defending champions! May we call on our starting line up.

Wearing jersey number 8. The Captain and her comeback. Mikhaela Janna Jimenea!" Grabe yung hiyawan ng lahat. Nagulat ako, ang dami pa palang nakakaalala sa akin.

"Jersey number 12. Season 87's best setter, Maria Nicolette Vergara.

Jersey number 19. Season 87's best middle blocker, Gweneth Apuli."

And so on....


After the introduction of our team and the opponent's team, the game started.
