"Ben, you're home, congrats nga pala, at nanalo ka ng Rookie of the Year at Mythical 5 Award" bati ni tita sakin

-Ever since nung libing ni Papa ay kanila tita na ako nakiki-tira, para may mag-bantay daw sakin

"Kamusta mamahal kong pinsan, congrats nga pala at nanalo ka ng award" bati ni Winter

"O bat di ka masaya? nanalo ka ng dalawang award oh? bakit ka naka-simangot?" tanong niya sakin

"Naiinggit lang ako kasi champion Ateneo" I smiled bitterly

"Hanggang ngayon pa rin ba Ateneo pa rin ang gusto mong school?" tanong ni Winter

"Nevermind, may tatapusin pa po akong assignment, tawagin niyo na lang po ako sa kwarto kapag kakain na"

-I entered my room as I started doing my assignment, it took atleast an hour while before ako tinawag ni tita para kumain

"Ben" tawag ni tita

"Po?"

"Kakain na, Sinigang ang ulam" sagot ni tita, kaya napa-ngiti ako, bago nagbuntong hininga

"Ayos ka lang?" tanong saka pumasok sa kwarto

"Ayos lang po, sadyang may hindi lang po malaman na problema" sagot ko

-Tita sighed, she then rubbed my shoulder for comfort that resulted for me to hold on her hand, ever since mom died, si tita na ang tumayo nanay ko, she was always there for me and Winter, she always supports our games along with Dad, while tito is already with someone at naka-tira na sa America, yes they're divorced

"Ben, I know that Benedict is the reason why you're in La Salle" sabi ni tita, kaya napa-tango ako

-I really want to study in Ateneo, dahil ever since Elementary palang, doon na ako nag-aaral, pero kailangan kong tuparin ang pangako ko kay Papa

"Ben, gusto ko na malaman mo ito" sabi ni tita kaya napa-tingin ako sa kanya

"No matter what your decision is..."

"I will always support you, as your guardian now" tita smiled to me

"What do you mean by that?" I asked and she only laughed

-Ang gandang sagot tita ah, nakatulong talaga sobra

"Bahala ka diyan mag-over think kung ano ang ibig kong sabihin, kakain na" sabi ni tita

"Tatapusin ko na lang po ito" sabi ko saka siya tumango

"I see, sige bilisan mo ahh, masamang pinag-aantay ang pagkain" sabi ni tita bago umalis ng kwarto

-I released a sigh, and messed up my hair, and suddenly looked around my room, to see my shoes, my awards, my picture frame, at ang Ateneo jersey ko noong final year ko sa high school na naka-frame din

-My last year in high school was memorable dahil nanalo ako ng double MVP at Championship, kaya pina-frame ito ni papa dahil kahit siya ay proud din sa achievement ko nung taong yon

-I walked to that framed jersey at hinimas ang salamin nito habang tinititigan ito ng mabuti, as tita's word didn't leave my mind

"I will always support you..."

"No matter what your decision is" I muttered as my hands end under a word of the Jersey

"Ateneo" I read to the word
