Deal or no Deal (#teambabe)

Mika

Halos hindi ako makapagfocus sa laro dahil sa sobrang kaba or excitement ay hindi ko sigurado.

I've been watching her intently and she doesn't even care about my presence dahil ni minsan ay hindi nya ako tinapunan ng tingin. Minsan pa nga ay parang dumadaan lang ang tingin nya sa akin ngunit tila hangin lang ako na lalagpasan ng kanyang mga mata.

Kita ko din ang focus nya sa laro.

Taliwas sa nararanasan ko ngayon na lagi akong out of the rhythm. Mabuti na lang at magaling ang mga coverage kaya naiiwasan ang occurrence ng mga errors. Pero dahil din dito ay hindi kami makagawa ng maayos na attacks.

Minsang nagtama ang paningin namin ng ma-out of balance ako at pareho kaming nasa harap ng net. Banaag ang pag-aalala sa kanyang mata at hindi yun nakaligtas sa akin.

Well, I would gladly welcome injury if that is what it takes to have her beside me.

Pansamantala akong inilabas to make sure nothing is serious even after telling them that I am okay.

The team's medic checked my ankle and saw nothing. Even swallowing is not there.

"I told you sprain lang eh."

I stretched a little and moved my sprained ankle bago sinabihan si Coach Shaq na pwede na ulit akong pumasok.

I glanced at Ly's way and her worried expression is still there while looking at me. I just gave her a reassuring smile. I felt giddy after that knowing that she still cares for me big time.

Dahil dun ay parang himala na biglang sumigla ang laro ko. Every blocks and attacks are on time. Pati mga palo ng kabilang team ay walang alinlangan nyang hinahabol at inaangat.

But it was cut short when we heard another cheering from the crowd. It is during the time when Aly's about to serve the ball and I was just replaced by our libero.

I looked up to check the huge monitor and my brows creased when I saw the woman focused on the camera.

It was Glaiza and Angelica waiving at the camera cheerfully at halos mawala na ang mata nya sa pagngiti. After ilang seconds ay mukha naman ni Rhian ang nakafoucs which earned another scream from the crowd.

Well, kung hindi ko pa nakausap si Rhian before ay malamang isa ako sa mga naive na audience thinking they are cheering dahil sa artista sila. Pero dahil Rhian already fed me some information kung paano sila nalink ni Glaiza few years back, i know better. Maybe some of them are RaStro shippers.

Yes, she even told me one of their ship name.

But the fact that the goddess Rhian is threatened, how should I feel about the situation if Glaiza and Alyssa have something romantically towards each other?

I closed my eyes and tried to focus on our plan and hoped that it will give me and Rhian positive result.

"Ate Ye." isang tapik ang nagpadilat sakin and saw Ria pointing at the court.

Shit! Turn ko ng palitan si Gaiser. Ang bilis naman ata. Feeling ko kakapikit ko lang.

Dali-dali akong tumayo and tap on Pia.

I have to shake my head to wake up my senses and focus on the game which I am very thankful because it happened.

I avoided Aly's eyes throughout and focus on the ball so I won't get distracted which gives me a better result because I was able to block most of the spike successfully. If not at least I managed to slow down a spike.

Luckily, we got the first set.

Pero sobrang inis ko ng mapansing nilapitan ni Alyssa sila Angelica bago pa kami magpalit ng court. Nakapwesto kasi sila sa likod lang ng bench ng mga players.
