If I Lose Myself (COMPLETED)

Chapter 9

Who

Shit this is it! Finals game 1. Match against our rival, De La Salle University.

De La Salle means Ara Galang. Ara Galang means mayabang. Mayabang means natatalo.

"Beh! Ready ka na mamaya?" I asked Jho na ngayon namang nag s-soundtrip at twitter lang.

As usual, share kami ulit.

I think having a 1 week rest is not an advantage. Masyado kaming nasanay na wala masyadong ginagawa.

"Medyo kinakabahan, pero okay lang kaya natin to diba?" sagot niya.

Nag-apir kaming dalawa. Great minds think alike nga talaga lol.

"Beh, andami nang nag si-ship satin oh!" sabi nya at pinakita yung mga tags saming dalawa.

Mga sira! Pero di ko namalayan na nakangiti na pala ako.

Paano kaya kung ganun yung mangyari? Na maging team real talaga kami?

"Hahaha! Cute." sabi ko at tumawa na lang.

"1 year mahigit na rin pala tayong mag bff beh! Mwa love you!" sabi niya at niyakap ako at hinalikan sa pisngi.

Hays, the usual Jhoana Maraguinot everyone!

"Love you too Jho!" I hugged her back.

"Hoy lovebirds! Punta na tayo sa dugout. Pray muna then start na tayo stretching" sigaw samin ni Ate Ly at tinanggal na yung earphones namin.

Alam naming lahat na kinakabahan talaga to si Captain lalo na't makakaharap niya yung ex ni Kuya Kiefer.

Di naman silang awkward dalawa pero andun na talaga yung tatak ng rivalry eh.

"Yes po. Sge susunod na kami." sabi naman ni Jho at inabot yung bag ko.

Magka-holding hands kaming pumasok sa dugout. Nauna na rin si Maddie. Sayang talaga di siya makakalaro ngayon hanggang matapos 'tong Season.

She looked so happy yet alam kong nalulungkot rin sya sa kaloob-looban niya.

"Hey mads!" I raised my hand at nag action for an apir.

Ngumiti naman siya pagkakita sakin at nag apir kaming dalawa.

"Hi Bei! Good luck later, I know you girls can do it. Bawi nalang ako next season, malas malas muna" pabiro niyang sabi.

She really knows how to cheer everyone up. She's such a sweet girl.

"Beh tara na tinatawag na tayo ni Coach. Maddie, mauna muna kami dun ah mag s-stretching na kasi" sabi ni Jho at hinila na ako palayo kay Maddie.

Magkahawak-kamay pa rin pala kami.

"Girls! This is it! Kaya natin to diba? Happy happy lang tayo! Unleash the beast. I'l lead the dynamics. Mag kulitan tayo, go, pero know your limitations. Mahaba naman pasensya ko diba lam niyo yan," natatawang sabi ni Ate Ly "tsaka never give up! Win or lose never forget that we're not playing for ourselves, but for Him." dagdag ni Ate Ly.

This would be Ate Alyssa's last playing season. No more phenom, no more encouraging statements. We have to make it count, not just for us, for her, but for the Lord, too.

Nakakaiyak isipin, mahirap tanggapin but everything needs to come to an end. Reality sucks sometimes.

Maddening. Jaw dropping. Goosebumps.

The MOA Arena is filled with a huge number of audience. Banners here, everywhere. Cheers filled the whole arena.

This is my second year in playing, yet everything is like new to me. It still gives me goosebumps.
