Faster Than The Sun (Sports Series #1)

START

"Cymbelineeeee!" Tawag sa aking pinakamamahal kung ama na nanonood ng telebisyon.

"Papa, bakit po?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

"Anak, alam mo naman kung anong oras na ngayon diba? Ang tv show na iyong sinusubaybayan ay mag uumpisa na! Halina't panuorin mo ito alam kung paborito mo itong isports na kanilang ipapalabas." Papa

"Ay oo nga po pala." Sabay tawa at kamot sa aking ulo na akala mo talaga'y nangangati.

Noong bata pa lamang, gusto ko na talaga maging isa sa mga walong kapares na kalahok sa mag papaligsahan ng isang jet race. Lalo na't may tao akong iniidolo doon ang kambal ni mama.

Siya si Helia Aurio. Napakaganda ng kanyang hubog ng katawan lalo na ay isa parin siyang dalagita hanggang ngayon at makikita mo pa ang pagka-mahilig niya sa mga isports.

The sports that she always does is what we called Jet Race, its a water sport similar to powerboat racing, in which riders uses jet skis to compete.

I don't know why I'm interested with this but for me, it is so cool to race on. The splash of waters you can be heard when racing and the sun is high up above telling you to enjoy the game.

It was shown in the television that my Aunt is the Legendary Jetter in our country! Isn't it amazing? Like I can approach her if I'll go there soon and she will teach me all that stuffs.

But I guess, I can't do that. My mom died last year and not even my own aunt or relatives had gotten there just sparing some time and respect that my mom is gone.

Pero ni isa walang pumunta kahit anino man lang. Siguro ganito talaga, there is no shortcuts for my dream to come true. In this day, I will prove to them how good i am. How I'll overcome all of this situation in life even if I will start from no connection. I'll prove them wrong.

"Welcome to near future Philippines, where the hottest new athletes race high-tech jet machines through urban water ways for thrills and glory!" Anunsyo ng host sa ika-50 na anibersaryo ng Jet Race dito sa bansa.

Maraming mga tao kang makikita lalo na sa may gilid ng lawa na aming lokasyon ngayon para sa isang paligsahan.

Young people cheering and clapping their hands sa kanilang mga pambato na kaeskwela.

I always dreamed to be in that race...

I always dreamed in this race...

But i guess im here now.

"Taking my first ever race in highschool!" ito ang naibigkas ko dahil sa aking matinding kaba at saya na nararamdaman ngayon.

"I couldn't imagine how long does it takes to be here pero ngayon, andito na talaga ako!" sabi ko.

Hindi ko man inaasahan na maparito sa lugar kung saan di ako pamilyar pero ito iyong ninanais ko. Andito iyong gusto kung gawin at mapatunayan na ako ay hindi lamang isang dalagang taga isla na naparito at walang pangarap.

This is my dream and I'll grab this opportunity! Kahit na napalayo ako kay papa pero alam naman niyang ginagawa ko ito para sa sarili ko. And I will never ever let him down kahit na mahirap ang aking tinatahak.

Cymbeline Venna Delagrange, will be the next Legendary Jetter in the country and here I come!
