Mapupungay mong mga mata

Tila kinikiliti aking diwa't kaluluwa

Dagliang pagdampi ng ating mga balat

Ay siya ding pagkawala rin sa ulirat

Chapter 3

" excuse me...journalist coming through "

Totoo naman eh,journalist ka.

Kaya dapat lang na padaanin ka nila.

Hindi mo aakalain na lalong dumami ang manonood ng laro nila.

No doubt,anticipated game ba.

Pero,kasabay sa paglapit mo sa kanya.

Ay ang pagpintig nang mabilis ng puso mo.

Di ba sumingit ka pa nga sa pila sa isang cubicle para lang makapagbihis agad.

Because admit it or not,

Beside sa pagiging excited kung sino ba itong mysterious player na ito.

Umaasa ka na sana tama ang hinala mo.

Guess what,hindi na rin bakas sa mukha mo ang pagmumukmok ngayon.

...only because of her.

Finally,nakalapit ka na.

You are now able to watch her game properly.

Her...

Automatic naman na hinanap ng mga mata mo sya.

But all you got is a girl standing tall few distance farther from you.

Her figure is quite familliar to you.

You don't know if she's that Kang girl.

Pero di mo masabi kasi nakatalikod sya sa'yo.

Ang mas nakakasurang part eh tinatakluban ng coach nya yung mismong printed surname nya sa likod.

Kinakausap kasi ng Coach nang masinsinan itong Gerlalu as if the whole world was depending on her.

Bago pa man sumabog ka dyan sa pagkabugnot mo...

A logo at her back,located in the bottom part of her jersey caught your attention.

A drawing of a bear.

A grizzly bear to be exact.

tsk.

kinareer na talaga no?

The coach only stopped talking to her when the umpire blew his whistle.

" show off your badminton trick shots guys "

Sabi ng umpire as he sat on the badminton umpire chair na nasa gilid ng kabilang dulo ng net.

So show off muna?

The coach mouthed the girl 'good-luck' as he patted her head twice like a loving father.

She nodded and picked up her orange-black yonex racket from the floor.

Then she made her way inside of the court.

At doon sa wakas nalaman mong minsan talaga nagiging tama ang mga hinala mo.

Hindi ka naman yung maglalaro pero ikaw pa yung kinakabahan.

Kahit show off palang yan.

Nasesense mong may something odd between the two players especially kay Kang.

Undeniably,her charisma oozes across the whole court.

The way she walk..

The way she compose herself with that significant posture..

The way she look her opponent...

Definitely screams for ' The new Champion of the year'

In short,nakaka-intimidate ang presensya nya.

Miski siguro mga malalayong audience nila ramdam din yun.

Pagkabigay ng umpire nila ng shuttlecock kay Kang,

Pumunta sya agad sa right service court para mag-ready nang mag-serve.

Relax lang yung mukha nya.

You really can't tell if she's nervous or whatsoever.

Unlike dun sa kalaban nya...

Parang gusto mo tuloy burahin yung nakakainis na ngisi sa pagmumukha nya.

Porke ba ilang bese nya nang natalo mga players nyo in consecutive years eh e-easy-han nya lang si Kang?

Aba wag ganun.

Kang stood towards the front of the court,close to the centre line and threw backhand flick serve.

Causing her opponent to startle,off guard si ate but still managed to receive it nonetheless.

Pinapunta ng kalaban ni Kang sa left service court yung shuttlecock.

You know Kang can smash it off back.

However,there was no shuttlecock flew back.

'Cause she crouched down to tie her shoelace neatly.

Anak ng...

" Ano ba yan? Ngayon mo pa talagang naisipang mag-ayos ng sintas? " her opponent scoffed.

Sorry to her,no epek kay Kang-mo.

Oi di yun mura ha.

 The opponent's teammate picked up the shuttlecock and tossed it over his teammate which currently Kang's opponent.

" BILISAN MO NAMAN! " 

Kang's opponent threw the shuttlecock up high and hit it with power.

*pak*

You heard audible gasps right after then.

She just hit Kang's head...hard.

" ay sorry,di ko sinasadya " she bowed her head and made a peace sign.

Alam mo,she really doesn’t want to make an apology.

at alam mo, it wasn't from her heart.

May sosorry bang naka-ngisi pa?

DI DAW SINADY--

But before you could throw your tantrum inunahan ka na ng coach ni Kang.

" HOY! " He growled.
" Kita mo namang nag-aayos pa yung tao oh!" 

Kang's teammates held him.

Mahirap na baka mag-super sayan bigla.

Even the audience around the area mukhang nagalit din sa inasta ng player sa kabilang university.

The commotion subsided when Kang finally stood up,holding her racket in her right hand firmly.

Though she didn't spoke a single word,An invisible indescribable black aura suddenly lingered around her.

Sending shivers down to your spine. 

tsk.

She just dug her own grave.

You heard the last screech sound.

That sound was actually came from Kang's powerful smash.

Totoo ngang, ' Untamed Bear' ang dapat itawag sa kanya.

Bukod sa mukha itong oso, Kasing lakas din ng oso ito.

Paano ba naman,blow by blow tila isang bala na rumaragasa.

Kung baga...ang di umilag - patay.

That's why,iniilagan nalang ng kalaban nya bawat smash na pinapakawala nya.

Walang-awa.

Ganun mo sya madedescribe habang naglalaro.

She didn't bother to let her opponent to score.

Indeed a ....monster.

Nakatayo ka sa harapan ng badminton team ng school nyo sa court para kuhanan na sila ng litrato.

Nandoon na lahat maliban sa isang tao na 'star of the game'.

" miss,would you take us a picture now?" tanong ng isa sa'yo.

You froze

You found yourself looking for her.

You couldn't quite put your finger on why you can't get enough of her.

Pero bakit nga ba?

" sorry..." you smiled sheepishly.
" okay guys,compress a little more "

 You took a couple of minutes to end the mini photoshoot.

Then after that,you did't hesitate to approach their coach.

" si Kang po? " you asked shyly.

Ay wagi.

" Nasa locker yun,nagkukulong,ayaw nya kasing makipagpicture pa "He giggled as he shook his head in disbelief.

EH?

You didn't show him your astonishment about the new piece of information you just heard about her.

She should be proud about herself right? na nagchampion sya?

the hell.

" ah..." you nodded.

" Pagpasensyahan mo na ha,hindi kasi sanay yung batang yun sa ganitong bagay..." he looked away as if he's reminiscing something,but soon after he put his hands on his waist at ibinalik nya uli yung tingin nya sa'yo with a smirk playing on his lips.
 " Pero try mo syang kulitin,bibigay din yun " 

What's with the look?

nah...he just seemed he know Kang very well.

" i'll try "

" HULI KA! "

 " AAHHHHHHHH!!! "

Nagsitilapon yung laman ng pringles at yung mismong can sa sahig.

Sabi na nga ba eh.

Tama lagi ang hinala mo.

Pringles nga.

She looked at you with terrified look - open wide eyes whilst heavily gasping for air.

She look like a kid caught in mischievous act that made you to laugh hysterically.

Lalo ka pang tumawa nung napansin mo din yung maliliit na piraso ng chips sa pisngi at baba nya.

Shet.

Mukha syang pinabayaang bata.

Sarap nya tuloy iuwi.

Ibang iba sya kanina ..na nakakatakot na--

A picture of her playing badminton ran through your mind causing you..to stop.

You finally recomposed yourself,you cleared your throat awkwardly.

You looked at her again directly into her eyes and silently sighed in relief...mukhang hindi naman sya nagalit.

" wag mong ipapaalam sa iba yung nakita mo "

" in one condition "

" ano? "

" a picture of you "

" hell no "

" hell yes "
