ON THE SIDELINES

CHAPTER 26

FIENNA SAREM TOMAS'S POV

A month have already passed since the day of Kai's injury, and here I am now talking to him.

He's crying, my heart felt like its being squeeze at this sight of him, hindi naman talaga nya maiiwasan na umiyak lalo na at konting konti nalang ay maabot na sana nya ang pangarap nyang maging isang olympian.

"Hey, hey its ok. You still have a lot of years to be at the olympics" Pagpapagaan ko sa loob nito.

Kakauwi ko lang galing Japan noong nakaraan, akala ko ay maayos na sya kaya naman hindi ko ine-expect na tatawag sya sa'kin sa kalagitnaan ng gabi at umiiyak pa.

I want to go there, kaya ayun nagbook na 'ko ng flight papuntang Japan.

I just can't put my mind at ease when it comes to him. The only way I could think of a way to calm my mind is to see him.

"I feel so down today, I'm sorry that I have to wake you up just to rant" Sumisinghot singhot pa 'to habang sinasabi ang mga 'yon.

In the middle of that crying session he still have the guts to be cute.

"You know I'll always pic up your calls right? Even if I'm inside the bathroom I will still answer it" Nakita ko naman ang marahan na pagngiti nito sa sinabi ko.

I just look at him for a minute before he started talking again.

"You're really great on making me blush, I feel like a teenager now!" Kinikilig na sabi nito.

It's my way to keep his mind off of his negative thoughts, sabi rin kasi ng doctor nya na mas magandang magaan lang lagi ang loob ni Kai para naman mabilis itong makabawi.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" His eyes grew at what I said.

"You're coming here?!" I just smile and nod.

Buong magdamag ay magkatawagan kami kaya naman kinabukasan muntikan na 'kong ma-late sa flight ko.

Mabuti nga at napakiusapan ko ang management namin kung maarin puro paper works nalang muna ako at work from home pa.

Pumayag naman ito dahil nalaman din nila ang nangyari kay Kai.

Although, I wills still cover some sports event. Pero hindi muna katulad ng dati na halos buong season ay present ako.

The cold breeze of Japan welcomed me, chinat ko si Kasume para malaman kung nasaan si Kai ngayon.

She told me his on his physical therapy today, hanggang mamayang hapon ang physical therapy nya kasama na dito ang consultation.

Alam ko naman na ang sistema ng pag cocommute dito sa Japan kaya mas napadali na sa'kin ang pumunta kung saan ang hospital.

"Konnichiwa!" Masayang bati ko kay Kai.

Agad naman nagliwanag ang mukha nito ng makita ako, ako na ang lumapit para yakapin sya.

Gosh! Isang linggo lang kaming hindi nagkita nito pero ganito ko na kaagad sya ka-miss.

"You really went here!" Tuwang tuwang sabi nito at mas hinigpitan pa ang yakap. So clingy my Kai!

I love when he's acting like this, hindi ko kasi talaga kaya ang makita syang malungkot.

"Of course, I don't want to see you crying" I kissed his cheeks before sitting down next to him.

Nakalingkis pa rin ang isang 'to sa'kin kahit na nakaupo na 'ko. "I miss you so much Fien!" Gigil nitong sabi sa'kin at humalik pa sa pisnge ko.

Nang tumingin ako sa harapan namin doon ko lang narealize na nandito pala si coach Bry kasama sina Rui at Aoki.
