Kabanata 22

It was the final game for this conference. Didn't know how we survived not talking about what happened.

"Finals bebyeeeeeh!" Ponggay shouted sa loob ng dugout.

We laughed. She's so hyper because after this we'll have a free time for ourselves.

I looked around my teammates. I saw her laughing with Ria. They were one of the closest talaga sa team.

"Baka matunaw.." Ate Ly teases me.

I chuckled. "Nah."

"Have you ever talked?"

I shook my head.

"Ano ka? Patapos na conference natin. Aalis na siya niyan."

"I remember what Jia told me." I said. "If we talked then it's okay. But if not, then fate has decided."

She shrugged. "But if you really want it, go and get it.

"Hoy! Maya na kayo magheart to heart talk!" Bulyaw samin ni Ate Ella.

We just laughed. Sumunod naman kami sa kanila palabas. Nasa dugout palang rinig na namin yung mga sigawan ng mga fans. Ahhh. Feels of UAAP.

"Feels." Jia said.

I smiled at her. "Gosh, ang tagal na pala nating graduate no?"

She laughed. "Oo!"

I looked at Maddie. Her face was shouting "I'm excited!" she's too cute.

We went out and mas lalong lumakas yung hiyawan ng mga fans. I saw different fans club, even shippers were there.

It was blur, I didn't know it started na until I blocked Dy's attack. It felt nostalgic. This, this is Ateneo vs Lasalle. But in a different club name.

We did everything to win. Ate Ly gave her 200% on this game. Even the rest of the team. Maddie did well too.

"AND THE CHAMPION, CREAMLINE COOLSMASHERS!"

Yes, we won! It felt like UAAP season 76. All our hard works paid off!

I didn't notice I hugged Maddie. I was crying. Because after all the hardships we've been through, andito siya para mayakap ko.

"We won. Why are you crying?"

"You're here." I said.

She caressed my back. "I'll always be here, Beatriz."

Then our teammates shouted group hug and they joined. They hugged me and Maddie.

"So, we should announce the finals mvp?" Kuya Anton asked the fans. "So, the finals mvp is none other than, Bea de Leon!"

And everyone was jumping. Niyugyog pa nga ako ni ate Amy. They were so happy for me.

"This isn't complete without a speech." Ate Gretchen said and gave me her mic.

I laughed. "Uh, what should I say? Thank you for supporting us from day 1! Guys, we've been together for years, from bottom and now we're here! Love you guys!"

After the awarding, they decided na magka-after party. Everyone agreed kaya naman kanya kanya na kaming punta sa BGC.

"Talk to her na, before she leave." Jia told me while we're looking at Maddie.

"But sabi mo..."

"Duh, I only told you that para di mo muna guluhin si Maddie."

Tunayo naman si Maddie at umalis. Tinulak naman ako ni Jia and said go. Sinunandan ko naman si Maddie, nasa labas siya at nakatingin lang sa langit.
