Aiah made her way to the canteen where she's going to meet Colet. While on her way there, her mind wandered at last night's turn of events. She fell asleep during the ride, and was awaken by Mikha's deep voice, soft caresses on her arm and a gentle shake on her shoulder. The red haired girl's angelic looking face at its closest proximity she could ever get, she could feel her warm breath. Aiah swore it was a dream, though it wasn't. It surely felt like it is.
It's nice to see a side of Mikha she never thought she'd ever experience, she couldn't help but smile. Colet's figure snap her out of reverie.
She looked up and met Colet's inquisitive eyes.
"Tamis ng ngiti na'tin ah, MQ." Wika ni Colet saka ito umupo.
Aiah made a serious face, frowning at Colet. "Sinong nakangiti? Hindi ah." She denied.
Colet let it slide, but Aiah should know better. She's a terrible liar, her entire body language speaks for itself. She just can't lie like that and expect her best friend to buy it.
"Sabi mo eh. Ano nga pa lang sasabihin mo?"
She texted Colet last night telling she arrived home safe, and just this morning after speaking to coach Miya, she sent her another message to meet her at the canteen for an important matter.
"Anong gusto mong kainin?"
Colet unexpectedly laugh, making Aiah confused.
"Seryoso ka?" Takang tanong ni Colet sa kaniya. "Yan na 'yong importanteng sasabihin mo?" Natawa muli si Colet sabay umiling.
Aiah pouted, scratching her head. "Hindi...pero ano munang gusto mong kainin? Libre kita." She gave Colet a charming smile, one that would make you grant whatever she asks you to do.
That's when Colet got the hint. "Huwag mo na akong i-bribe, MQ. Anong kailangan mo?" Colet went straight to the point, as if Aiah's antics don't have an affect on her.
Aiah's smile grew wider, making her eyes disappear. "Yiieee kilala niya talaga ako."
Colet shook her head. Kunwari ayaw niyang magpadala sa pakulo ni Aiah, kahit alam naman niyang bibigay din talaga siya dito.
"Ano nga, MQ?"
"So...ganito kasi 'yon..." Pagseseryoso ni Aiah. "Diba kasama ko si Mikha kagabi?" Aiah tried to hide her smile upon mentioning Mikha's name, while Colet furrowed. "Nakiusap kasi siya sa'kin na baka pwede bang palitan mo na lang siya as team captain. Kinausap ko na si coach, pumayag siya dahil nagkausap din sila ni Mikha kanina."
Nagulat naman si Colet sa nalaman niya. Bakit naman tatanggihan ni Mikha ang pagiging captain?
"Ha? Anong dahilan niya?" Tanong ni Colet.
"Wala siyang tiwala sa sarili niya para sa posisyon na 'yon." Hindi nagsalita si Colet. "Pare-parehas tayo ng reaksyon ni coach dahil sa pag atras ni Mikha, pero pansin ko rin na mahiyain si Mikha eh. Hindi masalita at parang may sariling mundo. Siguro tingin niya mahihirapan siyang makipagsalamuha sa mga bagong makakasama niya. Baka rin daw hindi niya kayo mapasunod." Pagpapatuloy ni Aiah.
Tumango si Colet at napabuntong-hininga ito.
"Pero ayoko ring maging captain eh. Ayokong ma-stress, at saka kilala mo naman ako. Madali akong magalit, baka mahampas ko sila ng bola. Ako pa malalagot."
Napangiti si Aiah sa sinabi ni Colet. "Andito naman ako eh. Tutulungan kitang hampasin sila. Pati na rin ikaw, hahampasin ko." Biro ni Aiah, sanhi ng tawanan nilang dalawa.
"Ano, payag ka na? Dali na nang malibre na kita."
Colet rolled her eyes. "Hindi ako sigurado, MQ."
"Sige na, Cols. Please?Please...say yes. Payag na ikaw." Aiah did her best to convince her.
