Written In Reverse

Part 9

Pero seems like God had other plans. Negative kami lahat sa team.

Nasabi ko na rin kina Ponggay at ate Bei yung nangyari.

They were very supportive naman and also said they would pray for Dad's fast recovery.

"DEANNA!"

"MASYADONG MABABA ANG SET MO!"

"WAG MASYADONG PREDICTABLE!"

"BLOCK MO! HEY! ANO BA?!"

Yan palaging sigaw sakin ni coach pag nag p-practice play kami.

My other teammates act understanding but I can see it in their eyes.

The disappointment.

Is this the royal flash that everyone is talking about?

Yan ba nag best setter sa UAAP?

I'm sure that's what they're thinking even though they're too polite to actually say it.

Buti nalang andyan yung friends ko to cheer me on and ate Mads really does her best to defend me kay coach.

I can tell it's also weighing on her though. Sabi ko na nga ba pabigat lang ako dito.

"Deanna, meet me sa lobby later pagkatapos nyo kumain" seryosong sabi ni coach O.

"Yes coach"

Patay na nga. Lagot ako nito.

"It's okay Deans. Baka mag heart to heart talk lang kayo ni coach." Ate Bei tried to comfort me pero kinakabahan talaga ako.

After kumain ay dumeretcho aga ako sa lobby.

Andun na si coach with a somber expression.

"Deanna, ayoko na magpaligoy ligoy pa. I know you're distracted because of your dad and I understand pero kailangan kong malaman kung kaya mong ibigay yung game mo once the conference starts."

About kay dad lang kasi ang alam ni coach at ng ibang teammates ko kung bakit ako distracted.

"Coach sorry. Di pa po talaga mapalagay yung isip ko." I said apologetically.

"Okay lang Deanna. Di mo naman kailangan pilitin ang sarili mo kung hindi pa talaga kaya. I'm sorry din kung kailangan kita tanungin. Alam mo naman starting palang yung team kaya kailangan we make our mark agad sa PVL"

Oh no. I think it is coach O's nice way of telling me na baka di muna ako paglalaruin.

"No Coach. Kaya ko po. Please bigyan nyo lang po ako ng chance to get my bearings. Kahit mag extra traning po ako okay lang po"

Kinabahan na ako kasi ilang segundo pa bago sumagot si coach.

"I've been your coach for a long time Deanna. I know what you're capable of. Kailangan ko lang ngayon yung presence of mind mo, okay ba?"

"Yes coach! Thank you. Pagbubutihan ko pa po."

"I'm counting on you Deans"

"Opo coach"

"Sya cge na pahinga ka na. Maaga pa training bukas."

Shit! Muntikan na ako don.

Disappointed pa naman yung mga Jedean Gawong fans kasi na notice na nilang wala na yung karamihan sa mga photos namin ni Jema.

Wala na din bagong update.

Maraming ng haka-haka kung ano ba talaga yung status namin ngayon.

Ayoko naman pati pamilya at teammates ko ma disappoint din.

Kailangan ko na talagang umayos.

Di naman kasi ganun kadaling kalimutan ang isang Jema Galanza.

Author's Note: Sorry for the late UD guys. Daming ganap sa work.

P.S.: Di po ako conyo haha nahihirapan lang mag tagalog.

Be Kind.
