"Rivera. Back to Sisi. Ponggay and Maddie were there! Wong! Dipping it down!"
"Chance Ball! Two-point lead! 1-2 Play! Wong!"
"Negrito going deep. Gandler was there. Look at that! Deanna Wong!"
"Estrañero! Doro! A chance to redeem herself. Wong! Deanna Wong! Magnificent! Absolutely Magnificent!"
"Unexpectedly there for the Ateneo Lady Eagles. None of the UP girls knew what was coming from Deanna Wong!"
"There is a magician! Who hails from Talisay, Cebu City and she plays in the UAAP! She has given Ateneo straight sets! Her name is Deanna Wong!"
"Whoooooooo! Wongskie! Nice Game!" - Ate Bei
"Grabe Deanns! You're the real MVP!" -Pongs.
I can only smile sa lahat ng naririnig ko at the moment. Everyone's happy. I can hear congratulations from everyone na makakasalubong ko pero isa lang nasa isip ko. Isa lang ang hinahanap ko. Isa lang sa crowd na ito.
Ate Jia.
And i found her!
"Ate Jia! Ate Jia!" I hugged her agad as soon as I saw her and I can only cry my heart out.

"Shhhh. You did great Deanns. You did great! I am proud of you!" Iyak pa rin ako ng iyak.
"Diba sabi ko may tiwala ako na kaya mo. You are born not to disappoint kase you are Deanna Wong! Thankful ako Deanna kase I am honored to be called na mentor mo. You don't have to be so harsh on yourself kase sa game na to, pinatunayan mo na talaga na mali ang sinasabi ng karamihan. You are not my shadow. You are your own name. You are Deanna Wong. Matatakot na ba ako na makalaban ka?"
I smiled.
"Ate Jia naman. Pero thank you po talaga. Thank you po sa lahat ng guidance and support mo sa akin after all these times po. Thank you sa pagtitiwala. Lahat po ng laban ko, you will always be one of my main inspirations. Thank you Ate Jia!"
I kissed her cheeks and hinug ko ulit sya ng mahigpit.
"Sige na bebe Deanns. Tama na iyak ha? This is your day! Celebrate it! Andito lang kami sa likod mo. I am always happy sa mga achievements mo."
We had our final hug and dumating naman ang mga teammates ko.
"Awwww. Group hug na for our baby Deanna!" - Ate Bei.
Natawa naman ako kay ate Bei. Ang galing nya lang talaga mangbasag minsan pero that doesn't make me love her less.
"HEARSTRONG ATENEO!" Ate Bei shouted all of a sudden.
"HEARTSTRONG!" Sabay sabay kami umiiyak habang nagroup hug kasama si ate Jia.
This is home.
