Special Chapter: August 4

"Ay 'te, tanda mo 'yung nag-bar tayo kasama si Bea at Team Besh? Tapos may lumapit na babae at nilalandi siya? Ano nga ginawa ni Jia doon?" Kyla asked, remembering the scandal that happened before Pandemic began. Their intention was to drink and chill until a lady appeared to make the night interesting. Interesting enough for Jia to unleash her wrath.

"Binuhusan niya 'yung babae ng alak tapos nagsambunutan sila. Nanalo si Jia huli." Jema cannot contain her laughter while saying what happened. "Dalawang bote pa ang binuhos, sabay minura. Hindi lasing si Jia nu'n, ha."

Jia lightly punched Jema at her waist, "Gago, pinaalala mo pa 'yan." She was only protecting what is hers. Jia almost killed the lady with her eyes but it took two bottles of alcohol to stop its flirting. She has no regrets. "Kita naman kasi nung babae na katabi lang ako ni Bea pero hindi tumigil. I had no choice but to teach her a lesson."

Kyla chuckled at her friend's fierce side, "Tinakot mo kaming lahat no'n, ang gaga mo talaga. Mana ka kay Ate Den, halos patayin 'yung kaibigan nung babae na lumandi rin kay Ate Mika that night."

Yes, it was not only a one vs one but a two vs two. Nauna ang incident kay Jia then Den's followed merely ten seconds later. The news spread like wildfire, and a hard damage control had to be done. Surprisingly, the way Jia and Den defended their loved ones was well-received and the other party apologized for the mishap.

"Happy happy, okay?"

Coach Tai huddles the girls shortly before the most-awaited match in PVL begins.

Both teams line up on opposite ends of the court. Bea and Jia fixates their eyes on each other, smiling. During warm-up, Bea winks and pouts at Jia at the net before they do a vertical jump. Jia shook her head after turning around with Pau nudging her arm in a teasing manner.

Bea glances at Jia almost everytime because she just loved doing it. She wished they can play together one day, or possibly after her contract ends with Choco Mucho. Nevertheless, she is proud of Jia's recent achievements and she'll always be a number one fan.

CMFT pretty much ran away in the First Set through blockings and good floor defense. Very much expected from a tall team with an Iron Eagle behind them. CCS surprised them on the service line at the Second Set, putting up a huge gap. And then, errors came through pushing CCS at the brink come Third Set even if they fought to catch up.

At the Fourth Set, Bea watched Jia slightly going off-game. She became concerned with her errors slowly piling up, must be fatigue. Wondering why Jia is not getting subbed out to take a little rest. But it irks to know that she cannot do anything because they're not teammates.

Their eyes met at the net while waiting for Alyssa to serve. Bea mouthed, "I love you." And the latter replied with a small smile. Hoping that will get Jia back in her groove.

It's now Jia's turn to serve after CMFT turned over a crucial point due to another error. Bea watched closely to see her deliver a heavy serve that almost became an ace. She takes it as a sign of Jia's lengthy stay behind the line. True enough, it took a couple of points before Kat stopped the bleeding with her huge attack. But they trailed, and Coach O isn't having it at the timeout. In the end, Jia slowly got back in her groove and began distributing with ease so they escape with a 7-point lead.

Fifth Set happened just like predicted by analysts and fans who are watching. CCS had it in hand after service aces came running back, they also successfully shook the defense of CMFT. Jia ended the match with an ace.

Bea glanced happily at her baby while huddling with CMFT after that loss. If only it was allowed, she'd go over to hug and congratulate Jia. Bea then observed them storming behind Alyssa as she is interviewed for POG, it's funny and cute. She thinks they have a good chemistry.
