"Samahan mo ko be. Please!! Championship kasi nila ngayon e, I can't miss it to death." Niyuyugyog ako habang sinasabi yan ni Cally sa harap ko.
"Sinasabi mo ba na babyahe tayo sa init na 'to just to watch you're boyfriend dribbling the ball?" Tanong ko habang inaalis ang kamay nya sa braso ko at nag ayos na ng gamit.
"Uhh? Yes.." Parang nag aalangan pa na pag sagot nya sa akin kaya nilingon ko sya.
She clasp her hand together and look at me like like she's some kind of puppy asking for food. I sighed deeply.
"Cally..." Magsasalita na sana ako ng sumingit sya. She knows what I was about to say.
"Please Styx? Please! I promise uuwi din tayo after the game."
Tiningnan ko sya ng naninigurado dahil nubg huling sabihin nya ito ng manuod kami ng sine ay madaling araw na kami nakauwi.
"Styx Georgina! Pleaaaaase."
Bumuntong hininga ako at nginitian sya. Hindi ko naman din sya kayang tanggihan.
"Fine.." sabi ko at naglakad na.
Mabilis syang sumunod sa akin at umabrisiete sa akin. She smiled sweetly at me.
"Let's drop at the mall and change our clothes. We can't go there wearing our uniform. We're rivals right? " Maarteng sabi nito at tiningnan ang skirt at long sleeves with coat and necktie na uniform namin.
"Umuwi nalang muna tayo. Nagtitipid ako ngayon e. " Sabi ko naman sa kanya but she just smirked at me.
"I asked a favor so I got you." Kinindatan pa ako nito na ikinailing ko naman bago kami sumakay sa sasakyan na nila na mukang kanina pa kami hinihintay.
I thanked God na nakilala ko si Cally. She is spoiled but she has a heart. I know she love and protect me at all cost. She is my bestfriend. Wala akong masabi when she keep on changing her boyfriend at itong papanuorin na yata namin ang pinakmatagal nyang naging boyfriend.
Ang kwento nya sa akin ay 8 months na daw sila and I am happy for her. At least panatag ako na hindi sya kung saan-saan napupunta every night just to find a guy.
Bumaba kami sandali sa mall at nagpaiwan na doon. Bumili kami ng kulay asul na damit, Cally paired it with a short shorts and a heels while I paired mine with a rip jeans and sneakers.
I told her that I can pay but she insist. We rode a taxi since we're 10 mins. Late and his boyfriend is calling non-stop since earlier telling that we are late.
Malalakas na hiyawan ang narinig namin pagpasok namin sa malaking auditorium ng makatungtong kami sa loob nito.
Humanap kami ng mauupuan at literal na siksikan at madaming tao kaya nahirapan kaming humanap buti nalang may nag alisan sa isang pwesto kaya nakaupo kaming dalawa. Malapit lang ito sa bench players kaya kitang-kita namin ang problema ay nasa katapat namin ang kulay asul.
"Mali yata tayo ng upo? Sabi mo blue?" Bulong ko kay Cally na nakatingin sa bench sa tapat namin.
"Hayaan mo na. Wala naman mauupuan dun e."
Tiningnan ko ang kabilang pwesto at talaga naman halos mapuno ng asul ang buong lugar. Simple nalang akong tumango.
Nabibingi ako sa hiyawan ng magkabilang grupo. Parehas lang naman silang nag aaral dito pero grabe ang higpit ng labanan. Wala akong naiintindihan basta nanunuod lang ako, di ko na alam kung ano nangyayari.
"Alin ba dyan boyfriend mo?" Tanong ko kay Cally at ibinalik ang tingin sa players na nakablue.
Naramdaman ko na nakatitig sya sa akin kaya ibinalik ko tingin ko sa kanya at ang sama ng tingin nya.
"What?" Inosente kong tanong at nangunot noo ko ng biglang tumahimik.
Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ni Cally na nakatingin sa gitna kung saan naglalaro ang mga player. Nakita ko ang pagtayo nung number 4 na nakablue at nag thumbs up sa crowd kaya balik hiyawan.
Natatawa naman itong inakbayan nung number 24 kaya napatawa din si Cally.
"Number 24 Styx. And please, pakitandaan. Pangatlong pagkikita nyo na 'to and you still remember his handsome face?"
"I don't have the ability to easily recognize people so please, bare with me." Natawa naman sya sa sinabi ko at napailing.
Kumaway sa gawi namin yung naka number 24 but my eyes focus for someone wearing jersey number 4. He is looking at me at napaiwas ng tingin ng mapatingin ako kaya nangunot noo ko.
Nagulat nalang ako ng hilahin ako ni Cally.
"C'mon. May extra chair na dun." And she was right. There's a chair behind the players. Hindi ko alm kung bakit nagdadalawang isip ako na pumunta dun.
"Matatapos naman na yata. Let's stay here." Sabi ko at napaiwas naman ng tingin sa seryoso at titig ng lalaki na yun. Kinabahan ako.
"Ano ka ba? 2nd quarter palang Styx. C'mon. I'll let you meet my boyfriend and his team."
"Cally.. what did you promise me?" Tanong ko at sumabay na sa paglalakad nya.
Nagsimula na ulit ang game habang naglalakad kami.
"I still remember. Just a few minutes after the game." Ngumisi ito sa akin kaya napailing ako.
Pagdating namin dun ay binati sya ng ilang mga nakasuot ng jersey na blue at pinaupo na kami sa bakanteng upuan. Bumuntong hininga naman ako.
Kung kanina ay seryoso lang akong nanunuod. Ngayon naman ay may isang tao na akong pinapanuod. Number 4 is really a good player. He never let the ball slip on his hand and when he hold it, he surely made a points for their team.
I am amazed by his moves and sportsmanship. He was pushed by a rival player but he just smile and stand up. He has passion on this game.
He was dribbling the ball when his eyes caught mine. Bahagya syang napatigil pero mabilis din nakabawi at umiwas ng tingin. Nakita kong nilapitan sya ng boyfriend ni Cally at nginisihan sya. Umiling sya ang slightly push number 24. He look at me again, this time with seriousness on his eyes before smiling a bit and throw the ball from half of the court.
I was shocked but smiled with the people when that ball is exactly at the ring. Made them a 12 points ahead to their rivals.
Niyugyog naman ako ni Cally na humihiyaw kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.
"Ang gaaaaaling talaga ni Prime!"
Napatitig ako sa sinabi nya. Prime.
What a beautiful name he is and it suits his personality. Seeing people around this auditorium shouting his name, girls flocking at him. He is really something you should looked for.
Malapit na matapos ang game as for Cally when Manang called that I needed to be home so I was not able to finish the game. Though I know they will won that game.
I look for one last time before heading out. I was met by those black orbs from afar. Yumuko nalang ako before continuing walking. I hold my chest and tried to stop those fast heartbeats. What the hell is this?!
