Taking Risks

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

"Girl asan ka na ba?? The game's starting na!" Ela being conyo as always.

"Teka inaantay ko na lang si Chloe at pupunta na agad ako diyan."

"Oh sige basta bilisan niyo ha" Ela said then binaba niya ang phone.

Ateneo vs UST game today. Kakatapos lang ng class ko at hinihintay ko pa si Chloe. Bagal bagal kumilos eh.

"Oh ano, tara na?" I asked Chloe habang inaayos niya ang mga gamit niya.

Pagkatapos niya ayusin yung gamit niya tumayo na siya at sinabi "tara na."

"Kuya, MOA Arena po. Pakibilisan po late na kasi kami." Sabi ko kay Kuya Erik the moment Chloe and I entered the car.

The whole trip to MOA was quiet. Chloe was busy fixing her hair and I was just scanning my twitter timeline reading all the intense tweet from people who were watching the game.

I saw a tweet from a fan. She said

"@babymiaravena15: wow!!! Ganda ng shoot ni Kiefer! Go babe!"

I just laughed. I wasn't jealous or anything. I was happy that there's a lot of people supporting Kiefer.

I tweeted also.

@sablacson: running late! Oh no! Damn traffic.

I got a reply instantly.

@demibaby: @sablacson hoy! Kaloka ka. Bilisan mo patapos na ang second quarter! Kanina ka pa hinahanap ng papa mo!

@sablacson: @demibaby opo. Bibilisan na po.

I placed back my phone sa pocket and listened to the radio.

Chloe broke the silence and asked "What did you say when Jeric asked you to cheer for their team?"

"I told him that that wasn't possible. Why would I be supporting their team when they're up against my team? Nasisiraan lang yun ng bait." I said.

"Sabagay. Baka nga." She said.

I glanced at my watch, oh no. I think it's already third quarter. Traffic kasi on the way to MOA. I think eto yung mga tao kakalabas lang sa MOA. Siguro nanuod to ng game kanina. The game before the championship game.

"Kaya niyo ba takbuhin nalang? Baka aabutin pa tayo ng 30 minuto dito kung sa harap kayo ng MOA magpapahatid. Sobrang traffic eh. Di talaga ako makalusot." Kuya Erik asked.

Nagtinginan muna kami ni Chloe tas nauna siyang tumango sakin. "Oh sige kuya. Text nalang kita mamaya. Thank you ha." I said then Chloe and I went out of the car and started running towards the Arena.

"Yung tickets, asan?" Tanong ni Chloe habang nakapila nakami papasok sa arena.

"Teka andito sa bag ko" sabi ko tas hinanap ko ang tickets namin sa bag ko. Halos buong bag ko nakalat ko kakahanap sa tickets pero di ko alam asan.

"Hoy ano na?! Kita na next!!"

"Teka!!!" Kinuha ko ang wallet ko at binuksan. HA! Eto lang pala.

"Kuya Guard, eto po." I said while I handed him our tickets.

"Nako miss, kung gusto niyo umabot bilisan niyo. Malapit na matapos ang game."

"O sige po kuya, salamat ha." Chloe said tapos kinaladlad ko si Chloe papasok ng arena.

Nakita ko na sila Ela kaso hindi ko alam kung paano makapunta dun. Di ko keri kapag makikipagsiksikan pa ko dito sa mga tao papunta dun. Punong punong puno ang arena ng mga Ateneo at Lasalle fans.
