NOT A RIVALRY

Chapter 48

Chapter 48

NOAH immediately dodge the fist that was about to hit him as his immediate reflex. Halos hindi niya ito mailagan dahil sa sobrang bilis, kung nagkataong nahuli lang siya nang ilang saglit walang dudang tatama iyon sa kanya.

Habol ang hiningang dumistansya siya dito at inihanda ang sarili sa susunod na atake nito.

"Fuck!"

Ever since he learned how to fight, Noah's always been proud of his skills. His gang never stood a chance against him. And everyone says that his skills could be compared to Callen, that it's hard to tell who'll win if they fight one-on-one. Oh how wrong they are.

He himself though that he could stand against Callen. Did he just underestimate Callen's skills?

Noah hissed and glared at his opponent, his fist clench tightly. The attacked earlier, he dodged it not just because of his fast reflexes but also because his opponent was holding back. Iyon ang napapansin ni Noah sa tuwing umaatake ito sa kanya at hindi niya gusto ang ganitong klaseng laban.

They've been sparring for quite a while but up until now Noah can't see an opening where he could attack his opponent. Nagtataas baba na ang dibdib niya sa kakahabol ng hininga at kahit ayaw niyang mainis, nagsisimula na siyang makaramdam niyon.

This opponent of his is holding back and he never asked him to do that. Pakiramdam niya ay minamaliit siya nito kahit wala naman itong intensyon na ganoon.

He'd been waiting for this time to come— where he could fight against the leader of Black Panther Gang. He didn't waste his time and effort just for him to be look down. Noah want a real fight— a fight where his opponent doesn't hold back.

Kung anu-ano pa ang pinaggagawa niya para lang pumayag itong maglaban sila nang one-on-one. Ilang beses niya rin itong inakit para lang mapapayag tapos heto, hindi rin pala siya seseryosohin.

"Baby, let's stop. Lest take a rest for a while." Anang kasintahan na siyang katunggali niya nang mapansin nitong sunod-sunod na ang paghinga niya nang malalim.

Truth to be told, Noah is about to reach his limit. But he still want to keep going, ayaw niya pang tumigil hanggat walang nananalo sa kanila.

Madali lang naman ang kundisyon sa laban nila para manalo. Kung sino ang unang matamaan ay siyang talo, ganoon kadali pero hindi naman magawa ni Callen kahit marami na itong pagkakataong gawin. Kapag ito na ang umatake hindi pwedeng maging pabaya si Noah dahil isang maling galaw niya lang talo na siya pero kahit ganoon heto't hindi pa rin sila tapos dahil sa ayaw talaga siyang tamaan ng kasintahan.

"No! Let's keep going!" Madiing tanggi ni Noah. Kaya pa niya, ipapakita niya kay Callen ang kakayahan niya.

With that in mind, from his defense form— Noah immediately change to offense and without further ado he started to attack Callen.

"Don't hold back, hon!" He uttered while attacking Callen.

"I won't." Tanging sagot lang ni Callen na wala namang kasiguraduhang gagawin nito.

Noah launched multiple punches and kick towards his hon but Callen managed to dodge all his attack. Kung gaano siya kabilis umatake ganoon din ito kabilis umilag.

Hindi alam ni Noah kung gaano sila katagal na ganoon hanggang sa makakita siya ng open spot kung saan pwede niya ito atakihin. Biglang umaliwalas ang mukha niya, kahit pala ang isang tulad ni Callen ay nagkakamali rin.

He waste no time and before Callen could dodge it, his right leg that he used to kick already hit Callen's left waist. Hindi niya alam kung malakas ba ang pagkakasipa niya pero napahakbang ang kasintahan paatras nang ilang beses.
