When he gave me a second Chance

3

The time pass by and now I'm in a second grade. I remember this is the year where i started to lie to my parents. I can't remember those lies but I remember that in the second Grade i lied to my parents for the first time and that was the beginning of my lies.

"Good Morning Class" ani ng babaeng guro. "Ako si Evelyn Cantiga ako ang inyong homeroom teacher........." ah.. should i approach coach Albert later? I really want to learn volleyball in this age though. Sheez.

"Naintindihan niyo ba?" Ani na guro namin. Grabe naman to si Ma'am ang taas ng speech di ko alam pinagsasabi niya kanina dahil sa iniisip ko tungkol kay coach Albert.

Introduce yourself ang unang ginawa namin.

"Hi everyone, my name is kristhean levi Bañacia, I am 6 years old." I simply said.

I should really approach coach Albert but maybe next week nalang nakakatakot pa nman yung matandang yun.

Coach Albert was our Coach in my past life nung sumali ako ng Volleyball, when i was in Sixth grade that time. Well he doesn't like me in my past life kasi nga yung pagsali ko is parang sumali lang ako for fun and yung pa char char lang para masabing player ako. Well, i can't blame him pero nagustuhan ko talaga yung volleyball ng tumungtong ako ng Junior High.

"Marquez! Are you listening?" Napatuwid ako sa pag kakaupo ng tinawag ang apilyedo ko.

"Yes ma'am?" I smile shyly.

"Answer this if you are really listening to me" tinuro niya ang nakalagay na subtraction sa black board. I sigh as i went to the front.

I immediately answer the question because, duh! I've been hell in math in my past life nuh! Though i love the statistic in my past life. Nung nag senior high ako dun na ako nag-aral ng mabuti so ayun di ko alam na may utak pala ako noon. But past is past.

"Ok go back to your seat" she said when she realize that my answer is correct.

Week had pass di ko parin na kompronta si coach Albert.

"Levi samahan mo naman ako punta lang ng canteen" ani ng katabi kong si trisha. I laughed as i remember this girl. Siya yung nang hampas sakin sa likod tas dahil nga maldita ako noon ayun ginamit ko ang lapis tas sinaksak sa kanya. I sigh heavily. That silly me. Yun yung first time ko ma principal office tas galit na galit si mama sa akin. I'd better stay away from future troubles.

"Huh? Eh may magtitinda naman satin ngayon ah?" Sa school namin may nagtitinda ng mga pagkain. Instead na pumunta kami sa canteen yung may magbibigay ng snack na bibilhin namin.

"Wala akong mapili gusto ko nung ice cream" ani nito sabay hila sa akin palabas. Itong batang to talaga. I sigh.

"Dun tayo sa court dadaan ah. Maytitingnan  ako" sabi ko. Tumango naman siya.

I remember na wala palang practice every class hour kaya wala akong nakita na player sa court. Mamayang hapon ko nalang sabihan si Coach.

Uwian na namin at dali dali kong niligpit ang mga gamit ko. Nilagay ko sa book shelf yung libro ko at tumakbo patungo sa volleyball court.

I saw Coach Albert sitting near in the tree while the player do their exercises. Nagdalawang isip pa ako kasi nakakatakot talaga tong matandang ito.

"Excuse me coach" i said as i get near to him. Nilinga niya ako at tiningnan ulo hanggang paa.

"Oh?" He said casually.

"Coach can you teach me how to play volleyball?" I said without hesitating my words.

Tiningnan niya ako ng ilang sigundo.

"Bakit mo gustong matuto?" Tanong nito

"Kasi po gusto ko po talagang maglaro ng volleyball. Desidido po akong matuto" ani ko sa kanya. I have to convince him! Argh please say yes.

"Bata ka pa balik ka sakin pag Grade 4 kana"ani nito at tinuon na ang attention sa mga player.

"Coach! I know some basic handling!" I almost shouted. Jeez kalma self. Nilinga niya ako. He was a bit suprise.

"Sige nga."he said and he give me the ball.

Well, i practice lot nung mga nagdaang araw. Pasalamat talaga ako sa kuya ni quirobim at may bola siya ng basketball yun yung ginamit ko. Though my kid's body is a bit weak bit i guess becuse of my determination.

I grab the ball and started to toss the ball up and it was perfect! I did some good job! I can see it though.

"So coach. Pwede po ba?" I smiled widely.

He nod at me.

"Dapat nandito ka exact 3" tumango ako at nag mano sa kanya.

"Thank you po! Bye po" masiglang sabi ko sa kanya.

I went to my Mom's office, di naman kalayuan  ang office ni mama sa school kaya she allowed me to go to her office pagkatapos ng school ko.

"Mama!" I said with my smile. Nagmano ako sa kanya at hinalikan ang kanyang pisngi.

"Mag mano ka kay tita Joselyn at Tita Alma mo" luminga ako sa dalawang matandang Babae na kasing edad ni Mama. Nginitian ko sil at isa isang nag mano.

"Ang cute ng anak mo lou." Puri ni Tita Alma sa akin.

"Kaya nga ang ganda. Yung mukha nag mana sa kanyang ama" sabat pa ni Tita Joselyn habang tumawa.

I always remember Tita alma and Tita Joselyn in my past life kasi sila yung mga kaibigan ni Mama at Parati din silang bumibisita sa burol nila Mama and Papa noon. Speaking of my parent's death. What if i can prevent their death? Pwede kaya? Wala pa namang changes na iniba ko isang tao, the only thing that change was my attitude towards my parents and also my academic. Oh i forgot, it also change when i approach Coach Albert. But i only change my self not others.

Pero pwede kaya na i change ko yung mangyayari sa isang tao? I'm a bit scared because i don't know the rules of being Reborn. My only goal was to change myself and being a Good Human being.

My second grade school life was pretty normal. After my class i always went to Coach Albert and he teach me the handling and some warm ups. Minsan nga lumilinga yung nga Senior ko sa Volleyball. I bet they are wondering why Coach teach me some volleyball. Ako lang kasi yung pinakabata na tinuruan ni Coach, i guess that's the reason they give me some attention.

Ang bilis ng panahon. That's what i noticed. Nag recognition kami and as always Top 1 ako. Mama and Papa was so proud of me. I can't help but to smile. Kasi last time na sinabi ni mama na na honor ako was Grade 3. Though i was an honor student when i was in Grade 12.
