"Javi Uvero with the deadly slam!" sabi ng commentator kasabay ng malakas na hiyawan ng supporters ng team. Nakakabingi ang ingay. Kahit si Iain at Inigo ay pareho ring napatayo dahil sa dunk na iyon ni Austin.
Two minutes in on the fourth quarter and the game is tied. Nakalamang lang ang team ng Chanston dahil sa puntos ni Austin. Now that I've seen him play in a real game, I can't help but be impressed. Jaco's the star player of the team but Austin's contribution can't be ignored. Ang galing niyang maglaro... Whenever he makes a point, he celebrates humbly. Hindi siya iyong show-off na ang yabang tingnan.
"Well, shit. The koala didn't play shit!" Inigo exclaimed.
"Told 'ya, loser!" sigaw ni Agatha. If we want to talk to each other, we really need to raise our

LuckiestTo say that I rushed everything would be an understatement. Ni hindi pa ako naliligo nang makarating si Austin. I asked him why he was so early and he just said he's worried we'll get stuck in the morning traffic. Ayaw niya namang sabihin kung saan kami pupunta. Inaantok pa nga ako kasi tinapos ko kagabi 'yong requirement na ngayong araw ko dapat tatapusin.I felt like I was the Flash when I managed to get ready in a span of twenty minutes. Hindi iyon ang madalas na oras ng pag-aayos ko. I took a quick shower and just got the most comfortable and go-to clothes I first laid my eyes on. Sabi naman ni Austin kahit ano raw suotin ko basta komportable ako. So I settled with a faded maong shorts, a plain black top and I paired it with a black strappy sandals. I also tied my hair in a half ponytail. Hindi ko na na-blowdry pa kasi nagmamadali na.

KissPinipilit ko na si Austin na ako na ang magmamaneho pabalik pero ayaw niya talaga. The whole ride, he would hold my hand whenever his right hand's free. Kapag magpapalit siya ng gear, iniiwan niya lang ang kamay ko sa hita niya tapos hahawakan ulit pagkatapos. It's almost eleven when I got home."Thanks for today," I said. Hindi na matanggal sa mukha ko ang ngiti. Today was tiring but the happiness that came with it is unparalleled. "Kaya mo pa bang mag-drive pauwi?""Yup. It's just for a few minutes," Austin answered. Concerned lang naman ako kasi alam kong pagod na siya. Kung ako nga na naupo lang buong byahe napagod, paano pa kaya siya na nag-drive? At saka nakita ko rin siya na minamasahe iyong braso niya noong nag-stopover kami sa isang cafe para kumain."Alright. Uwi

Child"What happened?" I asked. Ang seryoso bigla ng itsura ni Austin kaya mas lalo akong kinabahan. May masama bang nangyari?Hindi napansin nina Inigo at Agatha ang presensiya ni Austin dahil abala pa rin sila sa pinag-aawayan nilang dalawa."Turbo and Robin got sick," he answered. Bigla namang nanlaki ang mata ko."What? Why?" tanong ko. Medyo nabawasan ang kaba ko nang malaman na wala naman palang nangyaring masama sa kanya."They won't eat. I don't know why."He looked awfully bothered so I stood up to face him."Did you have them checked already?"He shook his head. "Their vet's not in yet an

Child "Hi. I brought the extra references we need," bati ko kay Nerika nang maupo ako sa tabi niya. She's already busy on her laptop so I brought mine out, too. Naging abala na rin ako nang simulan kong i-input ang mga data sa report. We really have to work on this meticulously because our prof is very particular on details. Hindi pumasok ang professor namin para sa oras na iyon kaya nagkaroon kami ng oras na tapusin ang report. All of us are busy with the report. It's not all about painting in this class. Mayroon ding writing at technical papers na nirerequire. Nerika and I finished the work earlier than expected. "Hay salamat," sabi ko at nag-unat pa kasi masakit na ang likod ko. "We can submit this already. Finally," she sai

MVPI never believed that time flies by so fast because for me, we get the exact twenty-four hours a day. No more, no less. But that's until Austin happened... Kapag pala talaga masaya ka, ang bilis ng takbo ng panahon. Hindi mo namamalayan na lumilipas ang oras kasi masaya ka lang.Today's the game two for the championship title. Our university's team has been undefeated in the round two of the tournament. Nagpatuloy ang momentum na iyon hanggang game one ng finals. I've watched every game and now... I'm torn if I should watch live or sa TV na lang. Panigurado, ang daming tao. Natatakot ako na maulit iyong nangyari noong game one.Right after Austin and the rest of the team won the game, they allowed fans to take pictures with them. Hindi ko na muna nilapitan no'n si Austin kasi maraming tao. I was silently and patiently w

MVPMarami na ang tao nang makarating ako sa Chanston. The first game was held at the opponent's home court. Ngayon ay dito naman sa Chanston. I am so praying that Austin and the rest of the team will win today. Kasi mas masaya naman mag-celebrate kung nandito mismo sa school namin. Mas ramdam ang school spirit."Where are you?" Austin asked on the other line."Papunta na sa tabi nina Tita... I see you. Baba mo na ang tawag, Aus," utos ko. Nagwa-warm up na kasi sila at dapat hindi na siya gumagamit ng cellphone. Their head coach is really strict. Ayokong mapagalitan pa siya.Tito Steve, Tita Verna, Ali and Kuya Rex are all sitting together. Sabi ni Austin manonood din sina Iain pero baka nasa ibang side sila nakaupo."Good afternoon,

Happy BirthdayNanatili akong nakatayo sa pwesto ko. I didn't know what to react or what to do. Lalapitan ko ba sila o mananatili ako rito? A part of me wants to leave this place but I couldn't because this is Austin's moment. I don't want to leave acting all hurt and bruised just because of what I saw.Alam ko na magkaibigan silang dalawa. They go way back. They're childhood friends, I think. So maybe the hug and kiss is normal? Pero naapektuhan pa rin ako. Hindi ako sanay na makitang may babaeng gagawa no'n kay Austin bukod sa pamilya niya at sa akin... And he doesn't seem affected so maybe I shouldn't, too?"That was just friendly, I guess," Inigo said as he shrugged.Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko kaya tumango na lang ako.Nang m

Happy Birthday "Hi po, Tito, Tita." Nilingon ko kung sino iyon at nagulat nang makita si Sinara na tumabi kay Tita Verna. Bumati rin siya kay Ali. Nagkamustahan sila habang ako ay nanatiling tahimik. Naalala ko na naman iyong kanina... I seriously need to get over it. Ayokong sa kada nakikita ko si Sinara, iyong ganoong imahe na lang lagi ang papasok sa isip ko. 'Tsaka si Austin na rin ang nagsabi na wala lang iyon. "Kamusta ka na, hija? Hindi ka na pumupunta sa bahay," Tito Steve said. "Busy po. We're currently playing for a league," sagot ni Sinara. Nakikinig lang ako sa usapan nila. I know it's bad but I can't help it. I just continued being busy
