ON THE SIDELINES

CHAPTER 30

FIENNA SAREM TOMAS'S POV

I smiled as I look around at every corner of this arena.

It is filled with cheers from both teams, it's like who screams the loudest will make their favorite team win.

I like this energy around here.

If only it didn't happen, I would be one of the person their cheering for.

Pero masaya na'ko, this is enough.

To witness one of the biggest and most awaited match of all time.

It will determine who's the best of them all.

I looked at him and smiled brightly, assuring him that no matter what the result is. I will be there.

He have already come this far with his team, hope their hardworks pay off.

"Good luck" I whispered to myself but, I know that he knew what I said.

Olympic season is about to end with the most awaited volleyball match of all time. The world's number one team Poland VS Japan.

This feels like a dream.

"Woah!! Go Ni-chan! Go Rui-kun!!" Malakas na sigaw nitong si Kasume.

Magkakasama kaming lahat dito at pinapanood ang finals ng Japan sa olympics.

Kai in now one step closer to his dream. Winning this gold will signify as the peak of his career as the captain of Japan volleyball team who lead them to the olympics championship.

"Team captain wearing jersey number 21, Kaiza Hayashi!" I screamed the loudest as he made his way to the court.

The Arena is filled with so much energy, everyone is wearing red or white to support their favorite team.

"Nippon! Nippon! Nippon!" Sabay sabay naming chant matapos ipakilala ang lahat ng player ng Japan.

Kai looks at our side, I raised my banner for him to see.

He smiled at me before huddling up with the team.

Alam kong abot langit ang kabang nararamdaman nila ngayon, this is it. This is the chance they've all been waiting for.

This their chance for the world to see that they can be number one.

They can be the best.

"Go Kai!" And then the game starts.

Set one, Poland started off strong with their hits and blocks. Halos sunod sunod ang atake at block ng Poland, kaya't mabilis nilang natambakan ang Japan.

On the other hand, I feel something with the presence of team Japan. There's something with the way their eyes and the setter's moves.

I feel like they were reading them.

Ngayon ko lang nakita ang paraan na ito ng Japan, maybe dahil nasanay ako kay coach Bry kaya't iba ang nakikita ko sa paraan ng coachig nila.

Scored were 15-7 Poland on the lead, Japan ask for time out.

Kitang kita ko sa pwestong ito kung gaano kaseryoso sa pakikinig ang lahat ng player ng Japan, kahit hindi first six ay matamang nakikinig sa kanilang coach.

The next thing I knew when the match started again is the constant fast plays of Japan.

Napaka ganda ng distribution ng bola ng kanilang setter, with Saito's sets halos hindi na mahabol ng blocker ang spikes ng team Japan.

Isama mo pang ang tatalinong maglaro ng mga spikers nila.

Before I know it, Japan leads 18-20 ang naging score.
