When I Met You • Tyler Tio

Chapter 92

Nung sinabi ni Tyler, wala na lang ako masabi.

"Rej? You okay?" he asked me. "Bakit ka umiiyak?"

"Teka lang." I said. Tears of joy. He wiped my tears. "To be honest...."

"Ano yon?" he asked me again.

"I like you too, Tyler Tio." I replied. "Noon pa! Nahihiya din ako sabihin sayo."

So pareho pala kami mahiyain. Pareho lang din pala ang ugali namin. Mahiyain din.

Wala rin siya masabi. Yieee speechless.

"Oh God...." he said. Umiiyak na din siya. Omg.

Para kaming baliw, nag-iyakan pa kami at sa labas pa mismo ng Amare ha!

Inhale, exhale. Inhale, exhale.

"Rej...will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.

"Yes. YES!!!" I replied.

Tyler smiled at me and he gave me a hug.

Yung idol ko sa UAAP, boyfriend ko na ngayon.

I am the happiest girl alive! Tyler is my "blessing" this year.

"I will do anything. Susuportahan kita sa lahat especially sa academics mo." sabi niya.

"Promise?"

"Promise." he replied. I smiled and I gave him a hug again.

"Hay nako tara na at balik na tayo sa loob baka hinahanap ka nila." sabi ko.

"Yeah sure." he said.

So ayon, bumalik kami sa loob. When we got there pumunta kami sa table nina Thirdy and ayon, umupo agad kami.

"Okay lang ba kayong dalawa?" Mamu asked.

"Oo bakit?" Tyler replied.

"Nag-iyakan kayo noh?" Thirdy asked. "Sa labas?"

"Uh....yeah?" I replied.

"May dapat ba kami malaman?" Jolo asked.

I was about to speak pero si Tyler na lang ang mag-explain.

"Oo, may dapat kayo malaman." Tyler said.

So ayon, nag-aabang na sila sa sagot namin.

"Girlfriend ko na si Rej." Tyler said. "She said yes."

Napatingin na lang sila sa isa't-isa and ayon saka na sila mag-ingay.

"Yeeeeeees!!!" they said in unison and they are start teasing us.

"Mabuhay ang bagong kasal!!" Mamu said.

"Hoy Mamu! Baliw ka talaga!!!" sabi ko and tumawa ako. Jusko, grabe nagsi-ingay na sila. Chaos.

"Anyways, si Tyler hindi lang champion sa UAAP, pati na rin sa puso ni Rej champion din eh." sabi ni Thirdy.

Pero bigla ako nag-salita.

"Eh paano si Bea?" I asked him.

"Ooooohh." they said in unison. Napatahimik na lang siya. Ayan asar pa, Thirdy.

"Mag-celebrate na tayo! Tara tara!" sabi nina Mike as he started to pour the juice sa glass namin.

Hinawak namin yung baso namin so parang may pa "toast" ang magaganap.

So si Anton ang magbibigay ng message or something dahil siya ang team captain.

"Hello everyone, I just want to say thank you for everything. Back to back champions sa UAAP Season 81 and our hardwork is already paid off. Thank you thank you sainyo." Anton said and he raised a glass. "Cheers!!!"

"Cheers!" we said in unison and we give a toast to others people and uminom na agad kami.

AFTER VICTORY PARTY

We went back to Ateneo and sumakay ako sa bus nila. Nung dumating kami sa Moro, the bus stopped and bumaba na kami.

"Back to back champs!" Anton shouted.

Sumisigaw na din sila. Kumanta ulit sila ng We Are the Champions.

And yes, hindi sila lasing after the party. Mga panggap na lasing talaga sila.

I look at them and I just smiled na lang. I am proud of these boys.

Suddenly, my phone just rang and I received a message from Mama.

"Anak! Nasa bahay na ako. Text ka na lang kung pauwi ka na. Ingat kayo ni Tyler."

I replied.

"Opo, Ma!"

After ko mag-reply. I put my phone inside my pocket. The boys are still celebrating after the UAAP Finals kahit nasa Ateneo na kami.

Pero may sinabi si Anton.

"Uy, Tyler. Ihatid mo na 'girlfriend' mo." he said. "Lagot ka sa nanay niya!"

As usual, they are start teasing him.
