ON THE SIDELINES

CHAPTER 21

FIENNA SAREM TOMAS'S POV

Germany VS Japan, very surprising first match for this VNL season.

Two of the finalist last VNL is now facing each other in the first match to qualify for the olympics.

Who's team will reign in the battle up in the air?

"Wah!" Halos mabingi na 'ko sa lakas ng sigaw ni Eian.

Kanina pa 'to nagtatatalon at sigaw ng sigaw habang nakataas ang mga kamay na may hawak ng banner na mukha ni Kai.

"Woh! Go ni-chan!" Idagdag pa itong si Kasume na kanina pa sigaw ng sigaw.

Sabagay, di ko naman sila masisisi kung ganyan ang reaksyon nila. First of all, grabe ang dagundong ng arena kada puntos ng gusto nilang team.

Minsan naman ay halos pigil hininga dahil sa mahahabang rally.

Kai served the ball, Germany's OH was able to recieve that ball. His pass was a little bit off so the setter has to chase.

Middle blocker on the place, OH is ready as well as the OP on the other side of the court.

Aoki is ready to catch if ever the setter decides to give the ball to the OP. Clever move for the setter to give it to the back OH.

Jiro in his place jumped high to block the spike.

Success!

Ang galing! Germany's play is already off kaya mabilis na nabasa ng MD ang set ng setter.

Kahit na nakuha ng Japan ang puntos na 'yon, lamang pa din ang Germany lalo na at lahat ng spike nila ay nabablock ng mga ito.

Their reach is so high, kahit anong diin ng team Japan ayaw talagang pumasok. They need a new strategy.

Perhaps a smart play from their setter Saito.

He's not the tallest but no one can deny his abilities as a setter, he's a big part of Japan's success over the past years.

Kai then serve the ball again. It's out.

"That's ok, that's ok" I whispered while looking intently at him.

"This is just the first set, take a breather Kai." I heared Auntie said.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni Auntie, di ko talaga mapigilan na kabahan lalo na at Germany ang kalaban nila.

I know that this is too much reaction from me for a first game.

But what can I do? Every game is important now, this is a olympic qualification season.

They need this.

The rally made its way again, like I said Saito is a key member of this team. So he showcased his abilities by giving a fake play.

Jiro faked, Aoki for the hit.

"Yeah!" Malakas na sigaw na naman ni Eian.

Di halatang G na G sa laban 'no?

After that, the points rushed to their side, Germany had to take a time out to stop the momentum Japan team is building.

20-22, Germany on the lead.

Nilabas ko ang cellphone para picturan si Kai na seryosong nakikinig kay coach Bry na nagsasalita.

My gosh! I know he looks handsome everytime he acts cute but, serious Kai will be the death of me.

I will never get used to how he acts inside the court when he acts like a baby when he's with me.
