It is now Friday in the afternoon and the whole team is currently busy practicing to prepare for their match against the Salazarians on Monday next week.
With an injured ankle, Chiko could do nothing but watch as the team pour out their sweat while playing before his eyes. The more he watched them, the more depressed he became. The sound of intense shouting, the crispy spikes, and beautiful exhibition moves were teasing his body with every minute that passes.
Watching his teammates having fun while practicing caused Chiko to realize how much he was actually missing playing Sepak Takraw. Aside from earning or saving more money, he started to fall in love with this incredible sport.
"I must recover as soon as possible," he told himself.
And as much as he wanted to force himself to play, unfortunately, the words of the school nurse reminded him that his chances to play this Monday are gone.
