His Forever Regret

Page 15 - Championship Game

"Can I at least see her?"

Tanong niya sa mga magulang ni Xy matapos itong dalhin ng mga ito sa loob ng kwarto nito.

"You should go home"

"Please, can I? I want to know if she's fine"

"She's completely not, are you happy?"

Galit na tanong ng daddy nito sa kanya kaya naman napabuntong hininga na lang siya.

"Sir, please-"

"And stay away from my daughter"

"I can't do that, sir"

Pagak na tumawa ang daddy ni Xy at hindi niya inaasahan ang sunod na nangyari. Mr. Hidalgo punched him in the face.

"Why? Aren't you aware of the dangers you're bringing to my daughter?! Or you just don't care about her at all?"

"I-i don't know what you're talking about, sir"

"Exactly! You don't know anything! So please, leave before I kill you!"

Muli siyang bumuntong hininga tanda ng pagsuko saka tumingin sa second floor ng bahay at tinanaw ang pinto ng kwarto ni Xy. After that, he walked out of the Hidalgo's house and drove back home.

Kinabukasan ay may training ulit sila kaya naman wala silang klase. He can't focus on the game because his mind is flooded by many things about Xy.

When it comes to her, he doesn't always know things. Xy is like a big puzzle to him that he can't even figure out how. She's like a big question that he can't answer no matter what he do.

"Captain, wala ata si Xy ngayong araw ah?"

Tanong ni Andrei dahil water break naman nila. Dahil sa sobrang inis dito ay nasapak niya ito.

"Clint! What is wrong with you?!"

"Nothing, coach. I'm not in the mood I guess"

"You're the team captain so act like one!"

Natapos ang training nila nang hindi niya nalalaman. Sunod naman siyang nagpunta sa senior high department para magtraining sa billiard.

"You're missing all of your shot, Clint. What happened? Baka matalo tayo n'yan"

Miko asked while playing the cue chalk on his hands. He just can't focus again. He badly needs to see Xy and to know what really happened to her.

That night when he drove her home and she told her that she cannot breathe. He quickly took her out of his car and called all the maids in her house.

He was panicking but it looks like her maids already knows what to do in such situation.

They look so calm but at the same time, he saw how scared they are. May mga private nurses din sa bahay ng mga ito. Maybe her dad or her mom is sick? But he doesn't know! He's clueless.

Hanggang sa dumating ang mga magulang nito na halatang kagagaling pa sa opisina. Her mom is panicking but her dad is calm.

When her dad looked at him, he saw how furious he is. He entered and leave their house clueless.

"Clint, are you okay?"

"I'm fine Vince, it's just that...nevermind"

"You know that you can always talk to me, right?"

Tumango na lang siya dito saka ipinagpatuloy na ang training nila. He was like a walking zombie for the whole day and he knows that if this will continue, he will not have a chance to win the championship game.
