When the Eagle Lost it's Way

Chapter 3: Redemption

UAAP Semi Finals Game 3

Series tied 1-1

Mika

3rd set in favor of Lady Spikers

Halos wala na kong marinig sa lakas ng hiyawan ng crowd.

The Araneta is filled with the sea of blue and green colors.

"Mika!"

I heard Kim called my name. She set the ball to me and I spiked the ball with all I can.

23-24

Score for the Lady Eagles.

Amy Ahomiro and Alyssa Valdez blocked my attack.

I felt something in my knees after my last attempt.

No please. I can't afford it now.

"Ye ayos ka lang?" Kim asked me.

"Kaya pa. Sorry Kim. Ulitin natin"

Nagsorry din ako kay coach dahil hindi ko naipasok yung bola. Napakacrucial ng pagkakamali ko.

Dawn received the ball excellently, I asked Kim to give me the ball, I prepared for another attack. But it was Ara who spiked the ball.

24-24

Yes!

Majoy served. Alyssa received, Jia set it to the back! Backrow from Alyssa!

Masyadong malayo. Kaya ko tong ma-block!

Cyd prepared to dig, I jumped as high as I can.

There it is! Single block! By yours truly!

24-25

Isa na lang!

Isang rotation na lang ako na magseserve. I want to score from an attack!

"Kim sakin mo ibigay" I asked her.

Kim just looked at me. I know she's hesitating. My spikes are not very consistent. But I've been working very hard for this moment. I know I can. This time, I want to believe I can make it. Because I know someone out there believes in me.

He might be wearing blue right now but I'm holding on with what he said. I can do this.

Dawn dig it, Kimmy looked at me and I know that ball is for me.

Eventhough my teammates know na sa akin yung bola, sumigaw pa rin ako ng malakas.

"Mine!"

TengEna kahit unecessary yung pagsigaw kong yon sana marinig mo! Unggoy ka!

With all my might I hit the ball. Targeting zone 1.

Alyssa trailed the ball and was able to receive it, but the impact was so strong and she wasn't able to handle it.

24-26
