"Kianny tara na," aya sa akin ni Justine while dala niya na yung mga gamit niya.
"Geh, una na kayo Cess. Sunod ako," I tried to smile as I answered her.
It's 10:01 PM and we're here in Razon complex because coach Ramil gave us a late night training because of our performance a while ago.
Hayy, I sighed as I remebered our loss. I know it's not right na dibdibin ko yung loss namin but I can't help it eh, and feeling ko hindi enough yung contribution ko sa team.
Feeling ko I failed all the people who supports us. Who supports me. I can't help myself na mafrustrate dahil feeling ko I'm a failure.
Tahimik lang akong nakaupo dito sa bleachers at konting ilaw nalang yung natitira since tapos na kaming mag training.
Napapikit nalang ako to have a little peace of mind.
Suddenly my phone vibrated so I immediately checked it.
dudut
Nasa dorm ka na?
Razon
Sinong kasama mo?
Alone.
Heyy, gabi na. Being alone in razon isn't a good idea, dadat.
Uuwi rin ako kaagad.
Uwi ka na please.
Please dadat.
I can't come pa naman. You know naman na coach wouldn't allow us since season rin naman namin ngayon diba?
Don't worry. I'll come home safe.
dudut calling..
"Dadat," he said on the other line.
"Oh? Bakit?" I biy my lower lip to sound normal and to stop myself from crying.
"Hey," I can feel na nag aalala na siya through his voice. "It's okay, okay? You did great. Don't feel bad about your game." he added.
I opened my mouth but I can't say a word dahil feeling ko, anytime ay tutulo na ang mga luha ko.
"Dadat, makinig ka." he said. "It's okay to cry. Ayos lang na ilabas mo yan."
And as if on cue ay tuluyan na ngang nagsi agos ang mga luha ko. I didn't say anything but I keep on sniffing and sobbing.
He sighed and then continued talking, "First round pa naman yan, diba? Kayang kaya mo pang bumawi! Ikaw pa ba!"
"And besides, ang galing mo kaya kanina. 15 big points nga eh! Ikaw ah, sinadya mo pa talagang jersey number 'ko ang maging score mo!" napangiti naman ako. Kung katabi ko to nabatukan ko na to.
"Naisingit mo pa yan." I answered smiling but still sniffing.
He chuckled, "Wag ka nang umiyak, okay?" he said and I nodded kahit alam kong hindi ko siya nakikita.
