ON THE SIDELINES

CHAPTER 3

FIENA SAREM TOMAS'S POV

Loud cheers greet me as soon as I entered the arena. Start na kasi ng match ng USA and Germany.

I sat down on the chair right next to the commentator.

Nakikita ko rin dito ang mga screen kung saan makikita ang mga challenge ng magkalabang teams.

Ang cool.

"I have to go to the rest room for a bit" Paalam ng isang commentator sa kanyang kasamahan.

I think taga US ang mga ito base na rin sa kanilang accent.

Tumango lamang ang kasamahan nito at nag focus na sa laro.

Mahina akong nag checheer sa bawat puntos ng USA, grabeng mga talon at hampas sa bola 'yan.

Sobrang bilis ng mga ito na halos hindi na mahabol ng mga mata ko.

Ganito pala pag international 'no?

Today's match will determine who are the best players in the world.

For now, for bronze ang laban ng USA at Germany.

Halos dalawang oras ang tinagal ng match, matapos ang laban ay nagready na ako upang interviewhin ang player of the game.

Team USA ang nakakuha ng bronze medal, but it was not an easy task since Germany gave their all.

Umabot ng fifth set ang laban and fortunately it was USA who gave the final blow.

I put on some make up and get ready.

Kinakabahan pa 'ko dahil ang player of the match ay ang idol kong si Anderson

Matagal na 'kong fan ng team USA at sya talaga ang pinaka gusto kong player.

An outside hitter like I was.

"Good evening," I greeted him with a smile.

Dito kami sa gitna nang court mag iinterview, mabilisan lamang ito dahil sunod na ang championship match ng Poland and Japan.

"Good evening too,"

"First of all I want to congratulate team USA for bringing such a good fight and winning the bronze medal, what do you feel now?".

He breath out before answering me, "Honestly, I am a bit relieved now since we already finished the game. But, one things for sure we will give more hard fights next season."

I proudly smiled at his answer.

"Since we don't have much time, is there anyone you'd like to greet?"

"I just want to greet my family, my wife and my child who's at home right now. If your watching this, I love you both very much."

"Thank you very much for your time, congratulations again for the win." bumeso ito sa'kin bago bumalik sa kanyang mga kasamahan.

Nang makalayo na ito sa'kin, masayang humarap naman ako sa aking camera man na kaibigan ko rin.

"Ano ka ngayon?! Lodi ko yun!" Tuwang tuwang sambit ko sakanya.

Tumawa na lamang ito sa'kin at nagsimulang ayusin ang kanyang camera upang itabi na.

Nanatali muna ako sa court at tinatanaw ang mataas na net dito.

Kaya ko kayang abutin yan?

I miss playing volleyball already.

If I'm given a choice I would play right now and give it my all.

"You looked sad, is there a reason?" A voice suddenly came out of nowhere.

Nang humarap ako nakita ko si Kai, bakit nandito na sya sa labas eh mamaya pa naman ang laban nila.
