Last Game

UAAP SEASON 79
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

4th quarter na at last two minutes left na lang para sa last game ko, namin dito sa UAAP. Coach Aldin put us into a huddle we must do everything to win this game. It's the championship game. It's the last game of mostly of us. It's my last game.

"Boys! Last two minutes na lang, all I want for you guys to do is to have fun, enjoy this game. I'll be honest. I want to win but I don't want to win na nakikita ko na hindi kayo nag e-enjoy, just give everything that you have para sa dulo walang regrets. Is that clear?"

"YES COACH!"

"THEN LET'S WIN THIS! Thomas and Jeron, lead the team for the last two minutes. Be the heart and soul"

Jeron and I looked at each other and we know na we're gonna do our very best to lead the team, give out the needed energy and bring out the best in all of them, for the last 2 minutes.

Bumalik na kami sa court, Ben has been our go to guy, right after namin bumalik sa court he's been scoring and rebounding, Jeron's doing the same being loud as ever. I'm trying my best to share the ball with the team, bantay na rin si Ben kahit nakakascore pa din siya, same with Jeron kaya tinatry ko i assist sila Andrei at Abu.

DLSU 81 - 83 FEU

Last 30 seconds left. All we need is at least one shot to get the championship. Coach again put is into a huddle. He wants me to get the 3 point shot to take the lead.

After the huddle we went back to the court, Jeron nudged me and said...

"Tignan mo kung sino yung nasa big screen oh"

I looked up at nagulat ako kasi dumating siya, dumating talaga siya at may pa bonus pa na naka Thomas Torres t-shirt siya. Sa kanya nakafocus ang camera kaya nagtilian ang mga tao tas bigla naman finocus ang camera sa akin at nakita nila na nakatingin ako sa taas at nakangiti at dumagungdong ang Araneta.

Back to the game. Last 30 seconds. Last 20 seconds. Last 10 seconds. Jeron passed the ball to me and with all my might I shoot the ball beyond the arc at SHOOT! WE WOOON! BUZZER BEATER!

Naglabasan na ang confetti, green and white confetti ang bumagsak. Naghuddle naman ang team and we offered a prayer to God, all credits to Him, sa Kanya lang. After the huddle, I went to my family and friends, to my coach, to the fans and of course to my special someone.

Patakbo ako pumunta sa kanya at sinalubong naman niya ako, niyakap ko siya ng sobrang higpit tas parang "in-Aby Maraño" Hahahaha! Ang cute niya talaga.

"Congrats!"

She said nang humiwalay na kami sa yakap pero nakahawak pa din ako sa bewang nya. She smiled at me, yung girly smile niya na mahal ng lahat yung labas brace and her crinkled nose. Ugh this girl! I'm glad pumunta siya, pumayag siya sa request ko. Hindi ko na kaya pa kaya hinug ko ulit siya.

"Thank you! Thank you so much Ara! Thank you pumunta ka!"

"Hahahahaha! Ano ka ba? Bakit parang iiyak ka? Hindi ba Championship game mo 'to?"

Humiwalay ulit kami sa yakap pero ayaw ko tanggalin ang kamay ko sa bewang niya, ang sexy eh. Actually super sexy niya ngayon, she's wearing a black shirt na fit at nakashorts pa siya.

"Umiyak ka din naman nung championship game mo ah"

"Ay hahaha oo nga pala. Pero tears of joy yun!"

"Tears of joy din naman to. Una dahil nanalo kami. Pangalawa dahil pumunta ka and I know this means you're giving me a chance"

"Utot anong chance? Support lang 'to no!"

"What? Come on Ara, ang hilig mo naman manghopia"

"Hahahaha joke lang! Pero oo I'm giving you a chance. I believe you deserve it and I believe ikaw pa din laman ng puso ko"

Naka forehead to forehead kami ng biglang maghiyawan ang buong Araneta, yun pala pinakita kami sa screen. Tumingin naman kami sa taas at kumaway and I mouthe "Girlfriend ko" habang nakaturo kay Ara. Dahil doon, pinalo niya ako ng mahina sa braso. Actually masakit pa din, volleyball player 'to eh at si Ara Galang pa siya. After noon kumaway ulit kami at inalis na ang focus sa amin.

Pumunta na kami sa dug-out. Besides celebrating the championship, ang mga loko kong teammates ay pinagplanuhan din palang i-celebrate kaming dalawa ni Ara. Mga mokong talaga, pinagsayaw pa kami sa gitna nila habang naka-circle sila at kung anu-anong games ang pinagawa sa amin.

After the celebration, sabay na kami umalis ni Ara. Habang papaalis na kami ng Araneta, hinawakan ko ang kamay niya at at that very moment we know we don't need any words or anything to make it special, we just need us. The fact na magkasama kami at totoo na "kami" na, sobrang sapat na.

"Thom, ang galing no? Totoo yung predictions ng mga shippers natin, sa last game mo magkaka-Thomara ganap. I mean ang galing lang, sobrang higpit talaga ng kapit nila sa atin."

"Yeah, I guess it's just really fate. You know I'm very thankful that we have shippers, kasi without them probably I will forget forever the feeling I once had towards you. But thank God they're always there to remind me."

"Same, Thomas. Same. I'm happy na bumalik ako sa'yo at ikaw sa akin. I hope this time it's the right time for us."

"It is Ara, it is."

The next day we saw an article made by Fox Sports, ang headline "Love starts at the Last" and there's a picture of us holding hands, nakatalikod kami at against the light yung picture. Kaya pala pagkalabas namin ng Araneta may narinig kaming camera flash.

It will be a roller coaster ride for both of us but the hell I care, 4 years of being "hopia" is enough. This time we'll make everything right. Kung bumitaw kami noon, this time just like what our shippers always say, "Kapit Lang".
You know why they alway say that? Because it's worth it. It's worth it to hold on to us, to Thomara.

I believe sobrang worth it kumapit at mahopia sa kanila, kasi I'll be always grateful na Thomara exists and in the end I hope and believe THEY will happen. KAPIT LANG😉

Matagal ko na din na i-imagine na mangyari 'to and I hope talaga na mangyari ito. Please😭🙏🏻
