DAWN
Well one more day before papa's birthday and last night's talk with Richard or baka bonding moment lang was very pure and tender. I wasn't lying to him when I told him I like his features, hopefully ma understand niya na I like him as a person not just his features kahit na sobrang paligoy ligoy nung mga sinabi ko. Ayun nakatulog nanaman akong hindi nakakapag hilamos at toothbrush ha sobrang B.I ni Richard. I looked in the mirror and checked nako baka nagkaka pimples na ako ha nakakalimot na ko mag skincare. Well wala naman maganda padin ako, and I look fresher than ever iba talaga siguro pag happy ka din inside it shows outside, is Richard doing this to me?
Ngayon na dadating ang iba pang mga bisita ni papa hopefully hindi na niya dito sa bahay papuntahin at wala na sanang tour nako at nakaka pagod. Mama told me that she already got clothes for us since Savion is a pretty big city at medyo magkakalayo ang mga establishments dito. Our house is situated in a very rural part kaya sabi ni mama na sila na ang bahala sa susuotin namin. As usual I went down to eat some breakfast but the house seems awfully quiet. "Manang asaan po sila?" I asked when I saw manang cooking "ay nako mam andoon po sa may malapit na court" "huh?" I looked at her confused
"Mam kasi ano andon si sir at ang kapatid mo nagkayayaan sila mag basketball" she said giddily "andoon nga po andaming nanunuod kaya ako nag luluto meryenda sana" she said "sa tingin mo po ba matagal pa yung laro?" "Ay baka hindi na po eh kanina pa sila nagsimula, bakit ho?" "Naisip ko kasi na gawin yung sculpture ko pero sabi nyo po baka matapos na yung laro, eh doon nalang pala ako sa court pupunta" i said and looked at what she's cooking and it looks like its biko ang laki pa ng lutuan ni manang. Naisip kong ako nalang ang magdadala nito mamaya "manang ako nalang magdadala niyan doon" i said na excited "talaga mam? Sige at medyo malapit nadin po ito maluto" mukhang excited din si manang
While waiting for manang I checked on some of my emails as far as I know I'm still up to date with both of my jobs. Buti nalang at may 2 more weeks nalang ang mga magulang namin ni Richard medyo na siside track kasi ako sa mga nangyayari but it's also motivating me. Noong matapos na lutuin ni manang nakita ako ni manong Jun and asked me if I wanted to be driven there. Sabi ko wag na at kaya ko naman, oo marunong ako mag drive no sadyang never lang nila ako binigyan ng chance na ipag drive sarili ko. I took Richard's convertible and went there with the top down
I wanted to feel the air and province air is still the best kahit air sa Australia ay walang binatbat, at tsaka this is my first time to go somewhere in Savion all alone. The court wasn't that far and alam kong ayun nga yun kasi ang daming tao and naghihiyawan pa sila. Buti nalang nakita ako ni Max and immediately asked Allen to help me "dami nito Dawn ah" Allen said while helping me get the food from the car "ano to pa piyesta?" Max said laughing "ewan ko eh sabi lang ni manang pang meryenda, baka Richard asked na damihan" i sniled at them both. We went in and pinatulong nadin nila ang iba para kuhain yung pagkain and ayun nga si Von at Richard nasa magkabilang team napaka competitive nga naman nila oh. Even Allen is playing kasi I noticed naka basketball shoes din siya.
Naka upo sa may bleachers sila mama,papa,tito, and tita halatang nag eenjoy "hija what took you so long?" Tito said and gave me a beso. Lagi nalang akong may binebeso feel ko pudpod na pisnge ko. I gave them all a beso and they made me sit infront of them kasi walang naka upo don sa harap nilang bleacher din since pa V.I.P ang mga seniors. Bawat score at takbuhan eh humihuyaw ang mga tao, I'm enjoying the game I asked papa sino lamang and he told me Von's team is and 3rd quarter palang. Then may nag buzzer indicating na 3rd quarter is done so sabi ni tito is may isa pa. Malapit lang kami sa mga upuan ng players and lumapit sila sa kanya kanya nilang side wow may pa coach patong dalawang to.
Richard and Von looked really serious and my gaze was following Richard he was sweating so hard, in fairness wet look suits him REALLY well. He was towering over his teammates kasi yung iba naka upo and matangkad lang din talga siya. Nakapamewang siya at seryosong naka tingin sa kung ano man sinasabi nung coach when he suddenly looked at our direction and he slowly smiled when he saw me tapos nag wave pa siya. "Sino kaya ang kinakawayan ni Mayor?" Sabi nung announcer nahiya ako bigla kaya I gave them all an awkward smile "ay ang magandang asawa niya pala, makahabol kaya si Mayor dahil may inspirasyon na?" Naghiyawan ang mga tao
"Hindi na yan" sigaw ni Von at natawa sila, tumingin din si Von sa direksyon ko at pinasimplehan ko siya ng bad finger, natawa siya. The buzzer rang again mag stastart na ang 4th quarter bago pumasok si Richard sa court lumapit siya saakin "hi" with a wide grin "oh start na" I said and smiled at him too "Nako anak mamaya na iyan, di mo na mahahabol si Von niyan" tita said and we looked at her natawa ako "sige na nga" sabi ni Richard and kissed me on the cheek bago pumasok sa court "ang landi talaga niyang anak mo" sabi ni tito kay tita "sayo nag mana yan pare" papa said and we all laughed.
Parang sobrang seryoso naman ni Richard at Von eh wala pa nga yung sportsfest pano na kaya pag sports fest na. 5 mins in the quarter and lamang padin sila Von, nararamdaman kong matatalo sila Richard dito kasi naman varsity din yan si Von ng basketball eh. Cheer nang cheer sila mama kay Von sila tito naman kay Richard nakakatawa kasi nagbabangayan pa si tito at papa si mama and tita naman ayun chill tamang go anak lang. Matatapos na ang laro may 1 minute nalang sa oras at ang alam ko pag ganon mas nagiging eager sila maglaro kasi it's a make it or break it
Nakahabol ang team ni Richard so lamang sila Von ng 2 points, biglang siniko ni Von si Richard "ouch" Richard said na natawa "laro lang pre" sabi ni Von and he patted Richard's back "madaya ka Von" i shouted nagulat sila "baby bro bat mo naman daw ginaganyan si mister" sabi nung announcer nagtawanan nanaman sila. "Okay lang yan ate malayo sa bituka" sigaw ni Von "ayos lang ako" Richard gave me a thumbs up. Naghihiyawan mga tao at nahihiya akong kinikilig kasi lahat sila tumitingin saamin. "Nako Dawn patok ka ah" sabi ni Max at tumabi saakin
"Mag frefreethrow si Mayor and with 10 secs on the clock mapa abot kaya niya sa overtime?" Sabi ng announcer "ano ba pinagpustahan nila?" Tanong ko kay Max "ewan ko nga din eh, pero tataas rating ni Richard kasi tignan mo siya makioagsalamuha sa mga nakatira dito" she said while looking at the court. Hinawakan ni Max ang arm ko at may tinuturo si Richard pala ang mag shoshoot at nakatingin sa gawi ko "para sayo to" sigaw niya hiyawan nanaman. Kinilig naman ako and I know I was blushing. Kinakabahan naman ako sa laro na to at ayun nag shoot si Richard pumasok nakaka bingi ang hiyawaan ng lahat tumuturo siya saakin and was wiggling his brows ako naman tinutulak tulak ni Max tapos eto na second shot, ayun sa sobrang galing na bokya. At naagaw ng team ni Von ang bola at di na pinakawalan so natalo sila Richard ng isang point. After the game lumapit sila samin ni Von "oh ano ka, ano ka" Von kept on repeating with a smile "psst tama na Von" mama said kasi nang aasar pa "pinag bigyan lang kita" Richard said and stopped infront of me. "Nice game" i smiled at him "akin na pamunas mo" and he gave it to me
"Jusko wala pa sports fest niyan ah ganyan na kayo" papa said habang pinupunasan ko mukha ni Richard and he was just smiling at me. Napapansin na ata nilang parang nagtitigan lang kami ni Richard na nakangiti habang pinupunasan ko siya kaya "nako let's go and eat na" sabi ni tito "nako manalo o matalo naman pala si mayor eh panalo padin kay misis" sabi nung announcer at humarap si Richard sakanya "kainan na" sigaw niya. Nung marinig yun ng mga tao eh agad na silang pumila at umupo si Richard sa tabi ko. "May pustahan nanaman ba kayo?" I asked him while facing him "wala, nagkatuwaan lang" he said "buti nalang walang na injure sinyo ano, at bukas na birthday ni papa" i sarcastically said
