Ellias Joaquin Alfaro
It has been an intense 85 minute game on the rectangular field yet no one has scored yet. 5 minutes left and our team needs to score to win this game. Mula sa malayo, tanaw na tanaw ko ang pagod na pagod na si Iya but she keeps on running across the field with the rest of her teammates.
I am sitting along with the squad with Chad, Charry, Kelly, and Elisse while all of us cheer for our Iya Nadine. I'm wearing a black cap and the school's jersey with Iya's surname and jersey number on it. I personally customized this shirt at lagi ko 'tong suot every time I watch Iya's game to let her know that she got a cheerleader on me.
"This is so boring," Kelly whispered.
"Here," I said before offering her a bottle of soda.
"No thanks. I'll just go to the bathroom," Pagpapaalam niya kaya naman tumango na lang ako.
"Go Naddy!" Elisse shouted.
"Whoooo!!" Sigaw ko naman and I have no idea if Iya can even hear us or see us from the massive amount of people here in the field but I'll scream her name anyway.
"GO IYA!!" Sigaw ko ulit at kasabay nito ang mabilis na pag takbo niya papunta sa side ng kalaban.
Her teammate with jersey number 16 passed the ball to Iya and Iya immediately kicked the ball across the opponent's net.
Tangina! Kusa akong napahawak sa kamay ng kung sino mang katabi ko sa sobrang intense ng laban.
"GOAL!!!" Sigaw ng commentator kaya naman napasigaw na rin kaming lahat.
WHAT THE FUCK!! MY IYA JUST FUCKING SCORED A GOAL!!!
Napatakbo kaming lahat sa field to celebrate with the team. At nang makita ako ni Iya, walang sabi siyang tumakbo papalapit sakin at agad niya akong yinakap ng mahigpit.
"That was an amazing kick right?" She asked and I nodded in return.
"Yup. It was," I said.
"Congratulations our ace," I whispered while hugging her back.
This is my favorite part of Iya's every game. When she looks for me in the crowd, run to me and hug me, that is my favorite thing.
Ramdam ko ang pawis niya against my skin but I give zero damn about it and about the attention that we have right now. Instead, I pulled her closer and hugged her tighter.
And for I don't know how many fucking times, I can feel my heart race. I can hear my heart beating so fast that I got conscious that Iya might hear it. Labag man sa loob ko, I slowly moved away from the hug.
"You stink," I said and she hits my chest in return.
"But you were seriously great," I said and smiled.
"Ahem," Napalingon kami ni Iya only to see the squad and the rest standing behind and watching us.
"Are you guys filming a drama or what?" Cheska asked.
"Congratulations Iya," Chad said and Iya replied with a smile.
"How about a dinner to celebrate? My treat," Elisse said and everybody else agreed.
Iya left to shower and the rest of us are left here in the field waiting for her.
"I like your bag," Cheska commented on Elisse's silver handy bag.
