Stand by him during the good times. Stand by closer during the bad.

Definitely!

Half-anxious, half-excited, bumangon na ko finally to prepare for this afternoon's match.

I made a sign of the cross first, held my hands together, and uttered a quick Lord kayo na po bahala sakin.

While preparing for Lacky's food, I thought about Mika's reaction yesterday to him. Ang kulit talaga!

Thinking back, ni hindi man lang namin pinag-usapan ang game today. That's better I think, kesa magkapikunan kami.

I know she'll be there later, and I know she'll support me naman, if not my team.

That's all I could really ask from her, I guess...

Flashback

Mika's POV

"It's always nice to play in front of her watching, na nandiyan siya, suporta," said Ravena, who was caught by television announcers taking a glance at Reyes at the sidelines right before the start of the second half. Afterwards, Ravena caught fire to lead the epic Ateneo rally.

"Saktong inspiration lang,"

I kept looking at this article. It never fails to make me smile. He knows naman na I support him, present or not.

But God, pahirapan na naman tomorrow! Thank God I have my lings with me there to support me while I support him, lol...

Hay bahala na! Bukas ko na iisipin yun. For now, off to Cainta muna...

Wala bang kalsada dito sa PIlipinas na walang traffic!!! Nakapagbukas na ko ng account at lahat-lahat di pa rin umaandar! Grrrrrr!!!!!!

Uh-oh, he's calling na...

Me: Hello?

Kiefer: San ka na?

Me: On the way na, na-traffic lang... Kahilo traffic papunta sa inyo ha! Competing with EDSA levels!

Kiefer: Dapat kasi sinundo na kita eh...

Me: What difference would that make? Mattraffic pa rin naman tayo e...

Kiefer: Pero at least hindi ka nahihirapan maneuvering thru the traffic di ba?

Me: Ayos lang ako. Tsaka diretso din ako sa Pulilan afterwards naman eh...

Kiefer: Wait, akala ko manonood ka tomorrow?

Me: Oo nga. Manggagaling lang ako sa bahay.

Kiefer: Hoooo... Akala ko naman...

Me: I know, I know... Don't worry, I'm not wussing out for tomorrow's game. I'll be there...

Me: And speaking of being there... Bakit ka nakaabang sa gate ng village niyo?

I cut the line off and removed my earphones.

"Hello po kuya guard!"

"Hello po ma'am! Pasok na po."
