Samantha's POV

Night before the game:

Viber convo:

9:04pm
Sam: Ly?

9:10pm
Sam: Sizzy?

9:13pm
Sam: Huy!

9:30pm
Sam: Pag sumigaw ako ng sizzy bukas, lalapit ka ba at aapir samen?
Sam: 🤪

9:33pm
Sam: Tuloy tayo tom diba? After game?

9:40pm
Sam: or not? If pagod ka tom, ok lang naman kahit visit na lang ako ng weekend.

Hindi pa rin nagrereply ah. Ano kaya ginagawa nun?

Kanina pa ako nakauwi sa condo from one of my guestings. There are a lot of opportunities happened after PBB talaga. But there are also consequences. Or sabi nga ni Alyssa, it's not called a consequence because it's not my fault. But i don't know what to think anymore.

Scott broke up with me. I asked him why and he said that we are not in the same wavelength anymore. What does it even mean? We are in this relationship for four freakin years.

Ang masakit pa, he broke up when I am about to go to Palawan because of commitments. And he knew na magiging busy ako.

Naging busy ako at that time. Alam mo yung wala ka man lang time malungkot. Or maybe I am avoiding it or in denial.

Maybe.

Hindi kami nagkaroon ng pagkakataon mag-usap ulit. At pagbalik ko ng Manila, he went to US pala. He left me a message saying that we'll talk pagbalik nya. When? I don't know.

I don't understand and I am so lost. Buti na lang, I have a very strong support system. Yung family ko, si Alyssa and of course, the rest of the housemates. Yung bond talaga namin, hindi nawala, hindi rin nagbago. And I am so lucky to have them.

But I have this thing that's been bothering me after the break up. Parang deep inside me, no matter how much I want to look at the bright side, hindi na mawala sa isip ko na walang permanent. I have this fear na someday, we'll be losing one person or another, even if we can't imagine it happening today. Growing apart is part of life and I hate even thinking about it.

I have that fear. But I also have this takeaway. Now, I hug a little tighter. I am more appreciative and maybe clingy. I hope it's in a good way.

10:30pm
Sam: Good night sizzy. See you tom. Galingan mo sa game ha.
Sam: Ambusy nya, di sya namamansin.😔

Nag night routine na ako at nagpasya na matulog na. Baka busy si Ly. Malapit na talaga ako maglow key tampo nang magalert yung viber ko.

10:50pm
Aly: Saaaam! Uy, sorry. Naiwan nakacharge yung phone ko. Are you still there?

Sam: 😴😴😴😴

Aly: Aww, sorry na po. At oo na. Aapir ako, may hug pa. 🥰

Aly: Gagalingan ko talaga. Baka mapahiya pako sayo.

Sam: Ayy. Galingan mo talaga sizzy! Kasi pumusta ako e. Hahaha! 😁

Aly: Hmp. Pano mo naman nalaman pumusta?

Sam: Si John. Isinama ako dun sa isang group. 😜

Aly: Wag mo ko sisihin pag natalo ka dyan. Haha! and tuloy tayo tomorrow ha. Sa condo ko na lang tayo.

Aly: Sa totoo lang, namiss na kita Sizzy.

Sam: Aww. Hug kita bukas.

Aly: Ayun, namiss ko din yun sobra.

Sam: Asus! Anong nagbago? Hahahah! Ang expressive mo lately. I like it.

Aly: 😇

Sam: Sige na. Tomorrow?

Aly: Yeah. Good night.

Aly: Sam

Sam: Oh?

Aly: Haha! Wala.

Sam: Baliw! 😄🥰😜

Sam: excited ka sa game?

Aly: Sobra. Tsaka manonood kayo kaya parang mas naexcite.

Sam: Galingan mo sizzy. Cheer ka namin ng malakas!

Sam: Sizzy, nakakaantok na.. Sige na.. sleep ka na din.

Sam: Good luck and you can do it! *Bear huuugg*. Love you Ly. Good night na.

Aly: Aw.

Aly: Sizzy, waiitt. ask me what I am grateful for today.

Napangiti naman ako dito. Nung nasa PBB pa kami, eto yung lagi kong tinatanong sa mga housemates and naging habit na din nila na ivoice out yung mga bagay na grateful sila.

Sam: Okay. What are the three things you are grateful for?

Aly: One lang muna..for now.

Sam: Okay. And what's that?

..

Aly: You.

..

..

Alam nyo yung pakiramdam na medyo huminto ng konting seconds yung tibok ng puso mo dahil natouch ka. Nakatitig lang ako sa message nya at di ko namalayan na nateary eyed na ako.

Sometimes, people need to hear something like this. And i definitely need this today. My fingers hovered on her profile pic in the viber. Hay, I miss her.

Lumabas yung tatlong tuldok na ang ibig sabihin ay magtatype sya ng message

Aly: I'm grateful for you. Remember that. Good night and see you tomorrow.

Aly: P.S. wag ka umiyak dyan.

Napangiti na naman ako at pinunasan ang namuong luha sa mata ko.

Sam: Nahuli na yung p.s. mo. May luha na. Hahaha! I miss you Ly. Good night.

Aly: I got you. Always.
