We’re having our lunch here in the cafeteria, they’re planning na mag mall later, I’m not in the mood to go out but they will not let me naman na maiwan na naman sa condo

 

For four years I got used to being fifth wheel sakanila, but it gets annoying sometimes when they’re too sweet to each other because it makes me miss her more

 

“hi Karina flowers for you, please don’t throw it this time”

 

“I told you naman to stop courting me… oh wait I didn’t allow you naman diba” I told him na mahina lang because maraming nakatingin sa amin I didn’t want na mapahiya siya

 

“I won’t stop” he said then umalis na siya

 

I really hate it when they don’t respect my decision, I told them a hundred times that I am not interested and I don’t want to enter a romantic relationship right now

 

“Kars he’s courting you for a year now, why don’t you give him a chance?” told Gi

 

My friends has been very supportive saakin especially sa lovelife, they wanted me to try again, but I can’t because my heart still belongs to someone

 

I am still waiting

 

I just hope that when she comes back I still have a chance to love her right, to treat her like how she deserves to be treated

 

…

 

Our training ended early

 

“Kars may ipapasa lang kami ni Yeji kay sir, sama ka ba?” Ning asked

 

“no na I’ll take a shower pa”

 

“okay, let’s meet sa badminton court?”

 

“sure”

 

…

 

I’m watching the badminton team and I don’t get it kung bakit until now team b parin si Ryujin and Giselle when they are much better than the players in team A

 

“Karina” I know that voice

 

“c-coach?” Oh my god, the last time that I saw him was that day when I made a stupid decision 

 

“kamusta?”

 

“coach this is long overdue but I am sorry for what happened that day”

 

“naiintindihan ko Karina, wag ka mag alala. Anyway kamusta nga pala kayo?”

 

“maayos naman po coach”

 

“mabuti naman, sikat na sikat ka na ngayon Karina, face of Philippine volleyball pala"

 

“gawa gawa lang po nila yan coach” I am embarrassed whenever I hear that title talaga

 

“pa humble ka pa, I’m proud of you, you are living your dreams, this is what you wanted diba?”

 

He’s right this is my dream, I’m happy and thankful but still something’s missing… or someone

 

“so you’re their new coach po?”

 

“yes, ipapakilala ako pagkatapos ng training nila.. hay nako ite-train ko na naman si kulit” natawa naman kami because Ryujin’s still makulit parang hindi nag college

 

We talked for a while din before siya nagpaalam na bababa na daw

 

I was nervous earlier because I don’t know how to react pag nagtanong na si coach about kay Winter, thankfully naman he didn’t ask about her

 

“is that coach Nichkhun?” Yeji asked nang makarating sila

 

“yes”

 

“ang tagal niya nawala ah?”

 

“he went daw sa Thailand and Korea”

 

“buti naman siya na ulit ang coach nina Ryujin, ang tagal nang nagrereklamo nung dalawa kasi ayaw sila palaruin nung coach”

 

“Karina!” tawag sakin ni coach at pinapunta ako sa court

 

“bakit po?”

 

“partner-an mo muna ako nag aaya maglaban yung aalis na coach eh” natigilan ako, for four years hindi na ako naglaro ng badminton
