Red String of Fate - Chapter 9

Jeron's P.O.V.

"Mr. Teng" Tumayo na ko sa upuan ko at pumunta sa harap. Ngayon ko na kasi sasabihin ang pinagawa niyang interview ko sa fellow athlete ko. 

Dala-dala ko ang isang malaking illustration board kung saan punong puno ito ng pictures ng mga ginawa namin sa isang buong week. Pictures ng mga school works, starbucks, and nilagay ko rin ang naging day namin sa Enchated kahapon. 

Nakakapanibago. 

Nilapag ko na yung illustration board sa isang stand kung saan makikita ng mga blockmates ko. Binuksan ko na ang folder ko na na naglalaman ng mga sasabihin ko. Huminga ako ng malalim. 

Let's Go King Archer. 

"I spent my week with the one and only Mika Aereen Marcalinas Reyes." Paninimula ko. Nakatingin lang ako sa mga blockmates ko

"Of course who wouldn't know her here in our Campus? She's a part of the De La Salle Lady Spikers, and one of the 'campus crush'. Last week was a crazy one, i guess. It's beacuse I know to myself that me and Mika aren't close. It was really a challenge for me.

Monday, that day was the first day. Lahat ng pinag uusapan namin super konti lang. 'Cold' was the perfect word siguro for it. Why? Kasi isang tanong, isang sagot. Wala ng follow up or any kwento about sa sagot namin sa isa't isa. From that moment i said to myself, she's a very serious lady. 

But, i think my first impression isn't right. The next day, tuesday. Something happened to her brother. Mika's brother was rushed to the hospital due to high fever. I volunteered to give her a ride para mas mabilis siya makarating sa hospital. Hindi na siya tumanggi dahil natataranta na din siya. When we arrived, I saw how worried she is. Dun ko nalaman na she's not just a good sister but also a good daughter. You can see kung gaano niya kamahal yung family niya. Inggit na inggit ako sakanya dahil dun. 

I told her she's lucky. Na-kwento ko sakanya na hindi ako katulad niya na close sa mga kapatid ko. My parents are always busy because of our business. Kaya feeling ko I was alone simula pa nung bata ako. 

Simula nun we're telling stories to each other. Nalaman ko na makulit din pala siya at ofcourse, madaldal. She's serious pagdating sa studies. Because of that, naging idol ko talaga siya. 

For the last day, I surprised her. We went to Enchanted Kingdom. Natatawa ako dahil lumabas ang pagka isip bata niya but it's not a bad thing for me because lumalabas yung totoong siya. And because of that, I was very thankful to get to know Mika Reyes more. She's a very good role model to all aspiring volleyball players out there. I can prove that to them. 

And because of that one week, I wish me and Mika will be more close. I would be very lucky if I have a friend like her." Pumalakpak sila at ako naman bumalik na sa upuan ko. 

It sounds gay but i really wish maging close pa kami. 

Mika's P.O.V. 

"Ms Reyes? You're up next" Narinig kong sabi nung Prof ko kaya tumayo na ko at inayos na ang powerpoint na ginawa ko. 

[a/n: Sabay lang si Mika at Jeron nag report pero hindi sila magkasama sa iisang room gets? hehe] 

"Jeron Alvin Uy Teng. King Archer. 

I was very speechless nung siya yung nakuha kong athlete that I need to spend my week with. It's hard for me because we're not close. And to be honest? Ayoko talaga sakanya nung una.
