The Show Must Go On

Gab's POV

Flashback tayo ng konte, para malaman naman natin yung side ni Gab.

My most awaited POV. ^_^

The newspaper game just ended, at pumunta naa akong backstage.

Nadatnan ko dun si Shin na parang may hinahanap.

There are only 2 person he is looking for.

And sad to say that I'm not one of them.

Kaya pumunta na lang ako sa gilod para tanungin sa prod staff yung flow ng program.

Kung siniswerte ka nga naman. May nahanap akong daga na nagtatago sa gilid.

"Skye anjan ka lang pala, kanina ka pa hinahanap ni Shin."

Halatang nabigla siya nung nagsalita ako, but knowing Skye for almost my entire life. He would just be cool and say...

"Ok, tell him I'm still busy and I will see him at home."

Saktong sakto.

"I don't think he is going to go home soon."

My eyes traces back to where Shin is.

Syempre asan pa ba siya?

She is with her.

Napansin ko naman yung titig ni Skye na parang curious din kung ano pinaguusapan nung dalawa.

"Gusto mo lumapit tayo, para marinig natin?" I said, and without waiting for his reply. I pulled him closer, syempre yung tago pa rin.

"Nervous?" Shin ask her.

"Oo, hehe. Nakita ko yung dami ng tao sa labas eh, baka magkamali ako." -Aria

"You know what, we are actually the same. Nung una ko ding game sa basketball, kabadong kabado ako. Kasi feeling ko sasablay ako at baka ako pa yung naging dahilan ng pagkatalo namin." -Shin

I remembered that time, mga freshies pa lang kami at walang kaalam alam.

"Ikaw kakabahan? Parang di naman halata sayo." -Aria

"Haha, magaling lang talaga akong magtago ng nararamdaman. Hangang ngayon nga kada game kinakabahan pa din ako." -Shin

"Talaga? Eh ikaw kaya yung captain tapos ikaw pa MVP. Kinakabahan ka pa nun huh." -Aria

"Syempre naman, mas lalo nga akong kabado ngayon. Dahil yung buong team umaasa na saken for leadership." -Shin

I smiled to myself hearing that, so that boy who used to cry when we were little has grown up and taken the responsibility of being the captain.

"Paano mo hinandle yung pressure nung 1st game mo?" -Aria

"By having fun." -Shin

"Fun??" Aria asks in confusion.

"Oo, may nagsabi kasi saken na kahit daw magalala ako at nebyosin. Wala din naman magandang maidudulot yun eh. Kaya magsaya ka na lang, wag mo intindihin na madaming taong manunuod sayo. Kung di pa rin yun gagana, just think of someone special at siya ang kantahan mo." Shin advices her.

Naaalala niya pa pala yun?

Yep that line "Just have fun", ako yung nagsabi nun sa kanya.

★ Flashback

It was before the his first game and I saw him outside the venue. May mini basketball court kasi dun.

He was all alone, with his jersey #14 on, when you look at him from the outside he was ready to play.
