Bittersweet

I go for a full speed and I finally heard the crowd cheered my name. Mas malakas kaysa kanina.

Nang lumabas ako agad akong nasilaw sa mga liwanag na nangggaling sa bawat sulok ng race track. Halos mabingi ako sa hiyawan at sigawan ng mga manunuod.

I heard my name loud and clear. The audience throw their fist on the air while yelling for my name. Raising our flag. And I couldn't even smile at them genuinely for this is the bittersweet victory I have ever taste.

I won. But I lose.

Natalo nanaman ako sa pagmamahal.

Today is also their wedding. 

Kasabay ng competition ko ang kasal nila. It was Sabrina's idea to move their wedding. Siguro ay para lalo niya akong masaktan. And again, this time she won. Because I was hurt badly. And in pain.

Agad akong sinalubong ni Aaron at niyakap. Doon ay hindi ko na naitago ang pagiyak ko. Niyakap ko siya pabalik.

"You make me so worried, Raze."bulong niya saakin habang hinahagod ang likod ko.

"I d-did it."I trembled.

Kung hindi lang ako yakap ni Aaron ngayon ay baka kanina pa ako natumba.

"Yes you did it. And you did it great, Raze. I'm so proud of you. I'm sure tito too."he said gently.

Napangiti ako at mas lalong hindi ko mapigilang maging emotional.

I was hurt badly again but this time I didn't escape from that pain. I conquer it.

"RAZE!"tito Lar called me happily.

Nakalahad ang dalawang kamay saakin.

"Tito!"kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap kay Aaron, lumapit saakin si tito Lar at niyakap ako.

"How's our champion?"he grinned at me."And how's your ribs?"he said half jokingly.

Medyo natawa ako. Hindi pa talaga ako magaling at inabisuhan ng doctor na huwag munang babalik sa karera pero pakiramdam ko kung papalampasin ko ang laban ko ngayon, I will miss half of my life again. And I can't let that happen again.

"Sumasakit na nga e. I think I should rest. But I wonder if I can escape the press?"I chuckled.

Tito Lar smiled at me and wipe away the tears in my eyes.

"Of course you can."he said meaningfully.

Pagkatapos ianunsyo ang pagkapanalo ko, nagpainterview ako saglit pagkatapos ay umalis na.

I can feel my body hurting. Ang sakit ng katawan ko at hindi ko na talaga naisip na mananalo pa ako. I feel like papa is there with me. He guide me.

Bukod pa doon sa dami ng issue na lumabas na involved ako ay masiyado ng naistress ang utak ko na ang sabi ng doctor ay makakasama daw saakin.

"So you're quitting, huh?"si Speed iyon.

Napatigil ako sa pagpasok sa condo ni Aaron.

"What are you guys doing here?"hindi lang si Speed ang nandoon kundi pati sila Aries at Eron.

"Akala ko nasa kasal kayo ni Greg?"kunot-noong tanong ko sakanila at tuluyan ng pumasok sa loob.

"Hindi kami pumunta."umiling si Speed."We watched your game."

"Really?"I gasped.

"Oo! Parang aatakihin ata ako sa puso. Lalo na nung sinabi ni tito Lar na hindi ka pa magaling at..."he trailed off."mabuti naman at walang masamang nangyare sayo."Aries sighed as if he was relieved.
