JEMA

"Tubig?" napatingin ako sa kung sino ang nag-abot sakin ng tubig.

I looked away as I figured out who she was. It's Fhen, my ex.

"Tapos na akong uminom." sabi ko at saka tumayo na at naglakad papunta sa loob ng court.

It's not that Im still affected by her but I think it would be so much better if we just stay away from each other.

But Im being professional naman like when it comes to volleyball, i'll talk to her padin related to the sport but there's nothing else more.

"Iniiwasan mo padin, nagbabago na nga." i glared at Eli who suddenly spoke beside me.

"Stop talking like you know the whole story."

"I knew it. She told everything about it." i let out a sarcastic laugh as she acts that she knows everything already.

"She told you everything? Eh she doesn't even know nga what I feel so it's not everything Eli." i rolled my eyes and started to walked out of the gym.

Mga kakampi yan ni Fhen eh kaya ngayon ako yung nagiging masama.

I massage my temple as I've realized that im stressing myself to much. Sobrang saya ko kanina nung kasama ko si Deanna tapos sisirain nila.

"Training niyo ngayon, bakit nasa labas ka?" my heart beats so fast when I heard a familiar voice from behind.

I closed my eyes for a seconds to compose myself before facing the girl behind me.

"Uh! Stop smiling Jema!" i gently slap my cheeks then opened my eyes to finally face her.

But then i literally got frozed when I saw her laughing infront of me. Shit she saw me being so crazy.

"Ano yung nakita mo?" seryoso kong tanong sakaniya.

"Umm.. The smile? The slap effect on your cheeks? You, closing your eyes? That's it." she chuckled.

That's it daw eh lahat naman pala ng ginawa ko nakita niya na.

"Bakit ka nga pala nandito Deanna? And why are you so wet?"

Lumapit ako sakaniya at hinawakan yung shirt na suot niya.

"Basang basa ka!"

She took off my hand from holding her wet shirt then she held it as she smiles genuinely.

"Heavy rain is not a problem with me as long as your happy." i gave her a puzzled look as I tried to understand what she just said.

But then iniangat niya yung dala niyang paper bag na may nakalagay na Turks na kanina pa pala niya hawak.

My eyes sparkle when I saw a lot of Turks inside. Shit.

"Buti nalang may alam yung friend ko na bilihan ng turks malapit sa Katip." she said.

I didn't responded but i quickly took the chance to hug her so tight, making her feel that Im so much grateful.

"I'm so wet Jema." she complained.

"I don't care." i replied then smiled.

"Thank you Wong ha!" sabi ni Ponce habang kinakain yung turks na hawak niya.

Kaya pala madami yung nasa loob ng paper bag dahil binilhan niya din pala yung teammates ko pati nadin yung coaches.

She's so sweet, isn't? And Im really happy and grateful not because she bought Turks for me but for the effort that she did to brought these turks all the way here from Katipunan.
