for the love of margarita (marge tejada's love)

Price to pay

Jirah's POV

Andito kami lahat ngayon sa office ni Fr. Jett, ang buong AWVT, team managers, at coaching staff, walang nagsasalita, tahimik habang hinihintay na dumating si Fr., siguro pare pareho kami ng iniisip o nararamdaman, lahat tensed, lahat uneasy, because it is the first time na pinatawag kaming lahat at dahil nga sa isyu regarding Marge and Enrique, siguro nga sobrang laki ng issue kaya pinatawag ang meeting na ito. Most of the girls mga nakatulala, sila Sir Tony and Sir Ricky mga nakatungo Si Coach Tai ayun naka tingin lang samin, pero sigurado ako pagkatapos nitong meeting lagot kami lahat sa kanya. Ayan si Besh nakatungo lang, alam ko nahihiya siya sa aming lahat dahil sa nangyari, si ate Ly di rin nagsasalita, siguro naa anticipate niya na rin na magigisa din siya ngayon dahil kahit papanu as the team captain may responsibility siya to look after us kung kami kami lang lalo pa nga at magkakasama kaming lahat sa dorm. Andito nga din pala si ate Cha as a part of the coaching staff dapat andito din siya, ayun di rin nagsasalita, needless to say for us all here it is not normal to gather and not talk. Nang biglang...

Fr. Jett: Ok...good afternoon

All except Fr. Jett: Good afternoon po father

FJ (short for fr. Jett): You all know the reason why we are all here, right? So Marge, can you tell us what really happened, your side of the story, alam ko na kung ano man ang lumabas na sa media is a mere exaggeration, but still I want to hear it from you anak.

Marge: Fr. Ganito po kasi yun (tells what happened that night)

FJ: Ok, nag dinner lang kayo, atleast we are clear on that, and I believe you.

Marge: Thank you po fr.

FJ: But there are things I wanted to clear kaya ko kayo lahat pinatawag, first is Marge kailan pa kayo naging couple ni Mr. Enrique Gil? At alam ba nilang lahat ito?

Marge: Four months na po fr. Alam po ng lahat ng teamates ko, tyaka po ni Coach.

FJ: Ok, Coach knows it pero from the staff and managers walang nakakaalam?

Marge: Wala po

FJ: Ok ok, so meaning, alam mo Coach na umalis kagabi si Marge?

Coach Tai: No Fr., I don't know, because as we all kbow it, I live in another dormitory with the other coach.

FJ: Ok, anong oras ka umalis kagabi Marge?

Marge: Around 9:30 po

FJ: 9:30? Oh 1 1/2 hour before the dormers curfew, at pinayagan mo Alyssa? You are the team captain, kaya ikaw dapat ng magdi decide niyan kung papayagan mo o hindi, and since nangyari na ang nagyari, eventually pumayag ka, bakit pumayag kapa na lumabas siya ng ganun ka late? Nakabalik ba si Marge before matapos ang curfew hour?

Alyssa: Fr. Yes po, pinayagan ko po siya lumabas kagabi, at opo nakauwi naman po siya bago po natapos yung curfew.

FJ: No, no ang tinatanong ko, bakit mo pa pinayagan na lumabas eh gabi na, kahit sabihin pang 9:30 pa lang yun.

Alyssa: Fr. Hindi naman po sa nangungunsinti po ako, pero kasi po minsan lang naman po kasi magkita si Marge at Quen, tyaka monthsaey po kasi nila kagabi kaya po pinayagan ko na din po.

FJ: Hay, kids this days (sigh) ok hindi naman sa sinisisi kita Alyssa ha, pero sana next time, better to decide na sa dorm nalang mag stay amg lovebirds, pwede naman diba? Pinapayagan naman ang mga boys sa lobby area at sa 1st floor ng dorm, so next time, ok?

Alyssa: Opo fr. Sorry po.

FJ: Now Tony and Ricky, what shall we do regarding this? Hindi natin pwedeng pabayaan lang ito, nasa kalagitnaan palang tayo ng season, at siguro naman ayaw nating paglaruin ang girls na may ganito silang iniisip.

Sir Tony: Fr. I actually drafted an official statement na pwede na po natin I release as soon as ma approve niyo po ito po (gives a piece of paper to FJ)

After mabasa ni Father Jett

FJ: Ok, we approve to sakin, so aatend ang girls sa game nila on sundy na parang walang nangyari.

Sir Ricky: Girls sana rin don't go online muna until sunday para makatulong narin sa pag lilow ng issue, is that ok?

ALE: Yes sir

Ate Cha: Marge, I know you are still shaken about the issue, pero you need to focus ok? Life must go on.

FJ: Ano pala ang sabi ni Enrique?

Marge: Siya na daw po ng bahala sa media. Inaayos na daw po niya an interview niya.

FJ: Ok then, Tony I think hintayin muna natin ang statement niya bago tayo maglabas ng official statement, and everyone, when I say official statement, it will be the only reaction we will release to the media, and when we say don't go online we mean it, ok?

ALE: Opo fr.

FJ: Ok, atleast for now ito muna, thank you for your time, goodluck on sunday, I'll see you before the game we can all go now.

Coach Tai: Iam thinking of not including Marge to the line up this coming Sunday..

ALE: Huh? What??

Charo: But Coach, the rotation, it might affect the game outcome..

Coach Tai: I can rearrange it..

Alyssa: But coach, there is no need to do that, seriously..

Denden: Right, coach...

Coach Tai: I know, but I can see from the looks on your face that all of you are very much affected by the issue, and I will not gamble one game with all of your emotions are not in good condition. And taking away Marge on sunday's game will help you to stay much focused.

Alyssa: but coach

Coach Tai: I know you dont want her to feel more upset, but if truth be told I know that playing on sunday will not help to die down the issue, and don't worry girls its just on sunday, on wednesday she will be back.

ALE: Pero...

FJ: Naiintindihan ko si Coach, girls just do as he says, he is the Coach he knows better, just do your best on sunday ok? And Marge anak, you understand us diba? At hindi rin makakatulong na televised ang game niyo.

Marge: Ok lang ako girls, may point sila father at Coach.

Jirah's POV:

Natapos ang meeting at lumabas kami ng office na walang nagsasalita sa amin. Alam ko rin na naiiyak na si Besh, habang naglalakad kami, at si ate Ly at ate Den halatang asar naman, haist ano ba yan, what a day, ang lungkot.
