"So nagkausap na kayo?" tanog ni Ella kay Ly.
"I don't think na maayos na paguusap yon. More on reminiscing the magical yet fucking painful past," sabi ni Ly then she sighed.
"Did you... tell her?" tanong ni Ella and nagets naman ni Ly yun.
"What for? She doesn't have to know Ells."
"Pero...."
"Wala nang kaso yun.. tsaka nakakapaglaro na naman ulit ako ng volleyball ng walang complications, so why bother telling her?"
"Para makonsensya?"
"Haha funny Besh. Ako din naman talaga ang may kasalanan, kung naging matapang lang ako, edi sana hindi kami umabot sa ganon.."
"But look at where she is right now, may positive side pa rin naman yung ginawa mo."
"I always want the best for her Besh, I'm happy na super successful na sya sa path na pinili nya."
"So... wala pa rin talagang closure?"
"Ewan ko ba.. pero honestly medyo gumaan yung pakiramdam ko after nun."
"Lol Ly, as if naman you really told her your reason why you did that."
"At least nabawasan naman noh.. tsaka hindi pa ko ready talaga nun na sabihin ang totoo."
"Kelan pa? Pag magpapasakal na sya o kaya ikaw sa ibang tao? Sus."
"Botong boto ka talaga sa AlyDen ano?"
"I just really hate it you know? Ang lakas kasi ng faith ko sa tandem nyo e, ang hirap i-give up!"
"Ayaw mo sa KiefLy? Hahahaha!"
"Whatever Ly. Pero kung saan ka masaya, sige dun na lang din ako. After all, seeing you happy is what matters the most."
"Thanks Besh."
It's been a week since that happened. And hindi na nila binalikan ni Den pa yun.
"Uy Ly!" Den called her.
"Uy late!" pang iinis ni Ly.
"Wow kala mo sya hindi! Patay tayo neto, punishment na naman."
"Kasama mo naman ako, don't worry."
"Yuck, stop flirting with me!" pagbibiro ni Den.
And yes, nagkasundo sila na maging magkaibigan na lang ulit.
"Oh late na naman!" sabi ni Coach ng makita nya yung dalawa.
"Sorry Coach," sabay nilang sabi.
"Kayo ngang dalawa, aminin nyo sakin, kayo na ba ulit?"
"No Coach!" sabi ni Den.
"Wow naman Den, super deny."
"Bakit totoo naman ah?" sabi ni Den and tinawanan lang sya ni Alyssa.
"20 laps!" sabi ni Coach Roger.
"Aww," sabi naman ng teammates nila, sinamaan lang nilang dalawa sila ng tingin.
Nagstart naman na silang gawin yung punishment nila.
"Bakit lagi kang late Ly? Lagi ba kayong may date ni Kiefer? Hahaha!"
"Lol Den. Wala si Kief ngayon, nasa ibang bansa, training."
