Thomas' POV
"Thomas, ba't bigla kang nawala?" sabi ni Jeron while we were travelling the from one side of the court to the other. Na-miss niya yata ako, Kidding!
"Ah, I just went back to my condo... Kanina pa ba nag-end ang break?" reason ko sabay change topic ^^ I just wanna forget her.
"Haha, andaya mo Thomas. Tumakas ka lang eh." Kib added. He's often like that. Gusto niya kung mapapagod ang isa, mapapagod din the whole team. Now I need to make up for the things I missed.
"Hindi pa naman pero we already did 4 rounds ng this run" sabi ni Jeron at na-pressure tuloy ako.
"Oh. Sige, I'll catch up. Bibilisan ko na." so I tried to make habol sa mga na-miss ko when I was away. I executed the 4 rounds quick because I don't want my teammates to feel like I'm cheating.
"Dahan-dahan lang bro! Mapapagod ka niyan agad" sabi ni Luigi the Shooting guard
"Ok lang ako Bro. *Breathe 2x* Unfair naman sa inyo if I do four less rounds." I replied while catching my breath
After the running, stretching, reaching, passing, dribbling and other drills, shooting skills na ang pinagawa ni Coach Juno. So we did this routing: line up, catch, run, aim, shoot, run, catch, run, line up again....
Siguro on the five first attempts sa shoting, isa lang ang na-miss ko. Then on the 6th, I run towards the 3pt. line and tried doing a tres and it went in!
"That was quick! You're the man!" shouted Arnold. This gigantic man was about to give me a high-5 when I felt my right knee locked. Bigla akong napaupo at ffffff-fudge! Can this be cramps again?! Arnold checked me after he made his shot.
"Muscle cramps ba bro?" said the giant and knelt beside me
"Oo yata bro. Pero hindi ko magalaw or mafold yung legs ko. As in ganyan lang siya, straight lang. " sabi ko in a trembling voice. Parang naiiyak na ako. It feels like my leg would be amputated. I know this should be cramps pero it is a different one from the last time na nagkaroon ako ng cramps. That time, konting massage lang nagagalaw ko na yung toes ko. This time more than 1 min. na akong minamassage ni Arnold pero it seems na wala pa itong effect.
"Bro try mong tumayo. Upo tayo sa bench." sabi ni Arnold. He tried to pull my right arm up. Lumapit na rin si Mark para may support ako sa left.
"I think I'm fine-- oww!" sabi ko. For one or two seconds biglang nawala yung pain. After that, parang umakyat yung pain at pag-lock na umabot sa thigh ko.
"Bro, bro! Anong nangyayari sa'yo?" sabi ni Mark dahil halos ma-drag ko na pababa yung shoulders nila ni Arnold.
"Aa-- ang sakit! From waist and downwards hindi ko na magalaw yung right leg ko" at this point natakot na ako dahil baka hindi ko na ma-move yung buong body ko soon = Stroke!
Nakaupo na ako sa bench at nilapitan kami ni coach.
"What happened, ha?" sabi ni Coach
"Coach, cramps lang po yata. Naninigas daw, hindi niya magalaw" sabi ni Mark
"Sige, upo ka muna diyan Thomas. Masyado mo kasing minadali yung drills kanina" sabi ni Coach, doing the rounds that way is wrong pala. Next time, I won't do that anymore ...
"How do you feel?" asked Arnold. Yung ibang teammates namin tinitignan na rin ako
"I still can't move it. Hawakan niyo this part" kinuha ko yung hand ni Mark at nilagay dun sa gilid nung thigh ko.
"Grabe, ang tigas parang buto na yata ito! Pero muscle lang yan eh" Mark is now pressing that part.
"Bro, is this normal sa may ankle mo?" asked Arnold. Nahawakan niya yung part na tinamaan nung volleyball kanina. Ang sakit
"I don't know bro! Don't touch it, ang sakit!"
"Sorry, sorry! Pero bro, parang abnormal yung bulkiness. Medyo reddish / purplish din yung color." sabi ni Arnold at binitawan niya. It hurts talaga, hinawakan ko rin at parang may bukol nga
"Hindi yata sa cramps ito. Baka naman may nabangga ka kanina?" Mark suggested
"Yeah Bro. I remembered may nabangga nga ako kanina." At this point na-realize ko na ito na pala yung effect nung hit kanina ni Ara. Ang lakas nga pala nun that's why nagkaganito
"Sige mga bros, thanks sa help. Balik na kayo sa training. I'll go back na rin afterwards" I told them and they agreed
After 5 mins. nawala na yung numbness and nafofold ko na yung legs ko. I stood up and nafeel ko na parang nanghihina pa yung right leg ko. It's like it can't support my weight. I tried to walk pero it takes time para magstep forward yung right foot ko. Despite this circumstances, tinuloy ko pa rin yung shooting skills at yung mga sumunod na drills na binigay ni coach. Sadly, pinatigil ako ni Coach 30 mins before 7am. He noticed kasi yung manner na maglakad ako sa court. Nakita niya yung bulk dun sa may ankle ko at sabi niya na it's best na ipahinga ko muna. :(
Pinanood ko na lang yung teammates ko hanggang mag-end yung training at 7:00. They asked me kung anong nangyari and it breaks my heart everytime I answer those questions. It's possible din na hindi ako makalaro sa game this Sunday since sinabihan na ako ni Coach na next week na lang ako magtraining. Haaaay, ADMU pa naman ang kalaban namin T__T
Umattend na kami ni Mark ng 8 o'clock class namin. Fortunately, wala pa dun si Fajardo na malamang galit sakin. Maybe she'll laugh at me with my 'injury'. =\ After some minutes, nagdeclare si block president ng "Free Cut" dahil nagtext daw si Prof na she won't be around. Everyone was happy dahil 3 hrs ang free. I just stepped out of the room and LUCKILLY as in LUCKILLY, I saw Fajardo standing there in front of me. Looking at my laughable leg.
"Oh Thomas!" she exclaimed
"I know. Sorry. My fault." sabi ko with a very plain face
I went straight to EGI and planned to stay there the whole day dahil 12:30 pa ang next class ko. I don't know what I should do to remove the bad thoughts. Nagtweet na lang ako ng Not my day :((( I cried a little under my pillow dahil it hurts the way na mamimiss ko yung game vs. Ateneo and it hurts din na nangyari ito dahil sa pag-apologize ko kay Ara. I lied on my bed and fell asleep.
