Ngayon na ang araw ng OSRC (Olympic swimming race competition). Mamayang 9 pa naman ang start kaso by 8 ay nandoon na ang players. So, I decided to go early para makausap ko si Shawn. I texted Mitch na mauuna ako and she even want to join me but I refused. I said to her that I don't want to bother her anymore and then she gave up.
Narinig kong nagbeep yung phone ko sa may side table. Agad ko yun kinuha at tinignan. It was a text from Shawn.
From:Shawn(Love)
Goodmorning Love! I'm here at school now.
To:Shawn(Love)
Goodmorning Babe! Goodluck!
Massage sent!
Sinuklay ko lang ang buhok ko at naglagay ng cheek and liptint saka nagsuot ng white sneakers. I'm just wearing our school shirt and a mom jeans nilagyan ko narin ng channel belt like my sling bag. Kinuha ko ulit ang sling bag ko na may laman na wallet, liptint, phone and a handkerchief.
Bumaba nako ng masiguradong wala nakong naiwan na gamit. Pagkababa ay masaya ko silang binati.
"Good Morning! Everyone!"
"It's saturday today, saan ang lakad?" tanong ni daddy. I bit lower lip and look down.
"Uh... Dad, Mom I'm just.. Going to school,"
"Why?,'' my mom cutting me off.
"Its... The Olympic Swimming Race Competition today and... Shawn is one of the players, so, I wanted to cheer him on and watch the race live,"
"Ok.. Mitch are not going with you?" tanong ulit ni dad.
"No..but, magkikita nalang kami sa school"
"Okay, take care dear," sabi ni Mommy saka ako hinatid sa sasakyan namin. Magpapahatid nalang ako kay kuya Robert dahil late nako. It's already 8:30 am and I think nagreready na sila before the match.
"Thanks, po" sabi ko saka bumaba. Hindi nako nahiya at tinakbo ko na ang gymnasium. Huminto muna ako sa canteen para bumili ng water dahil napagod ako.
"One bottled water," I said sa nagtitinda pagkapasok ko. Nagbayad kaagad ako ng 15 pesos bago lumabas. Tumingin ako sa wristwatch ko at may 10 munites nalang bago magsimula ang match. Nahirapan pakong makapunta sa naka assign na seat sakin dahil malapit sa harap ang pinili ni Shawn.
Pagkalapit sa seat ay nanduon na si Mitch na naniningkit ang mata sakin inirapan ko lang sya saka naupo.
"Akala ko ba mauuna ka?"
"Na late ako ng gising eh, best," di na sya nagsalita at humarap nalang pool kung saan gaganapin ang laban.
Nakita ko na ang players na lumabas wearing their shorts swimming trunks. Hinanap ko kaagad si Shawn pero wala malapit na magstart ang game, kinabahan tuloy ako. Kinuha ko ang phone ko para sana itext sya ng tawagin ako ni Mitch.
"Ayan na sya girl, nalate lang," maarteng anya.
Tumingin naman ulit ako sa harap at nakita ko nga sya na kakalabas lang sa changing room wearing his shorts swimming trunks. Ngayon ko lang nakita ang finest ng katawan nya. Mula sa kagandahan ng kanyang mukha to his broad shoulders to hist fine chest to his perfect abs at ng bumaba pa ang tingin ko ay iniwas ko kaagad iyon at luminga luminga. God! He's so damn attractive.
Lumingon ulit ako sa kanya at nakitang kausap nya na yung coach nya. Lumingon sya sa gawi ko saka ngumiti nginitian ko naman sya at sinabing good luck na walang boses with matching thumbs up pa. Nagready na sila at pumwesto sa kani kaniyang board.
