His Irreplaceable Possession

#HIP18

Kiss

   
           Pagpasok ko palang sa university ay agad na akong pinatawag ni Chief. He was demanding my presence as if i did something really terrible for the publication. Pagpasok ko ay hindi naman siya galit o ano pa man, he was even smiling and gesturing me to sit down with a light presence.

"Bakit, Chief?" i asked.

He sighed lightly and even intertwined his fingers while his arms are lying on his desk. He have his own table as Editor-in-chief of our Publication.

"Coaches of Hurricane of Hawks suddenly demand you to the event proper. They want you to handle their feature and sports article. Wala naman akong hadlang doon dahil matagal ko nang alam ang kagalingan mo sa pagsusulat, kahit na anong category pa 'yan. Desisyon mo nalang ang kulang. " mahabang lintaya niya na nagpatigil sa akin.

The coaches? Why would they demand my presence? How did they even know me and my writing career? Gumagawa lang ata ng kwento itong Chief namin..

Hindi kaya si Danzel ang nag sabi?

Mentioning his name in my mind brought shivers and hear at the same time to my veins. Muling ipinaalala at ipinakita sa akin ng isip ko kung gaano kami kalapit kagabi, kung paano niya ako hinawakan, at kung paano lumapat ang mga labi niya sa balat ko.

Damn.

"Hurricane?"

I snapped out of the fantasy and looked at him after realization

"A-ah, Chief, baka ano.. p'wede kong kausapin muna yung writer na naka toka doon?"

"Sure, yes you can. Go then, so you can already decide. The HH is waiting for you." he said and look down to his laptop as my cue to get out of the office.

Lumabas ako agad at tinawagan ang writer na iyon. Maaga pa naman ata alam kong hindi pa nagsisimula ang laro. Baka nga ay tanghali na sumalang ang HH dahil iyon ang nakalagay sa schedule nila.

Today is only the semi finals. The National Tournament will wait for the four fierce team that will make it to the finalist. Buong isang araw lang ang finals kaya naman siguradong aabutin ang mga manlalaro ng s'yam s'yam lalo na kapag magagaling silang apat.

"Hello, this is Hurricane." i immediately said when he picked up the phone.  I was at the end of the corridor at the ground floor, watching the students idly playing at the wide pod of the University.

[Hello ate Hurricane! Sakto ang pagtawag mo, may kailangan din sana akong sabihin..] wika niya na agad nagpakaba sa akin.

What now? Hindi na naman ba ako makakahinga ng maluwag? Si Danzel na naman ba ang mag pakana neto? Bakit ba hindi nalang niya ako hayaan? Dumagdag pa ang kuya niyang panay ang approach sa akin sa social media.

Nabago lahat ng social media platforms niya dahil na rin sa isa na siyang sikat at magaling na attorney. Lahat ng ginagamit niya dati ay naglaho na, kaya naman mas naging mahirap para sa akin ang hanapin siya dati.

All of it are laying peacefully on my block list. The feeling of meeting him in person again is the most unexplainable feeling in my whole entire life. It gives both pleasure and turmoil to me, and right now, i do not want any connection with him.

Hindi na muli.

"If the team captain, Danzel Rajasandro, doesn't want to give any statement, don't mind him. You can go to the coaches, i know they will cooperate professionally." i said to the other line while my eyes are firmly closed.
