The next day, championship game.

Banners are ready, everyone is ready.

Alyssa's team and the other team are getting ready.

SAMANTHA

So, Alyssa's team made it to finals nga. Honestly, 'di pa ako nakaka-get over sa mga nangyari kahapon. I had mixed emotions yesterday. At first, I kinda felt nervous and halata naman kasi nga my cousins told me na mag relax lang daw ako. Very physical pala talaga yung game, I just kinda feel a bit worried for everyone na naglalaro kasi baka ma-injury sila. But gladly, no one get injured naman. I super enjoyed din kahapon, nakakatuwang makisabay sa pag-cheer, buhay na buhay ang lahat lalo na nung nag tie yung score nung first game nila Alyssa. Tapos ayon, yung next games nila ay madali na lang nilang natalo yung other team. Their standing is 2-1, they lose their one game but still qualified to finals.

Today nga is their championship game, I'm still going to watch with my cousins pa rin.

We're here na, everyone is prepared. Banners are ready for both teams, meron ding may dalang drums. Syempre, hindi papatalo cousins ko. Laki ba naman ng pa-tarp nitong si Shai and Anji.

Noises* Shouts* Drumming*

Both teams arrived.

ALYSSA

Today is our championship game. Ikaw na po bahala Lord, basta we're going to do our best.

We’re here na sa covered court, mas grabe yung hiyawan ngayon and may mga nagda-drums pa. Whatever happens, I’ll still be grateful basta we’ll do our best.

Pagkarating ay nag-suot na kami ng shin guards, na-late kasi assistant ni coach kaya ngayon lang naibigay.

After ko ma-isuot ang shin guard ko ay agad akong tumakbo papunta kila Samantha. I’m so happy kasi she’s here again, dagdag motivation HAHA.

“Hi Anj, Shai” I greeted them.

“Hello Ate Ly, galingan niyo ha? Goodluck.” Anji said.

“Sam, Hi” I said while wearing a big smile.

“Hi” She responded.

“Kanina pa kayo rito?” I asked.

“Hindi naman masyado, kanina kanina lang.” Damn her smile, nakakatunaw.

“Sige Sam, balik na muna ako ron. Pray for us ha, enjoy kayo!” Pagpapa-alam ko, I just really checked on them. Gustuhin ko man na magtagal pero hindi pwede dahil malapit na mag-start ang game.

“Uhmm, wait” Samantha said, sabay may kinuha siya sa kaniyang bag.

“Here” sabay may inabot siya sa'kin, it's a 500 ml gatorade and chocolates.

“I bought this for you and your team.” She added.

“Thanks” tanging nasabi ko na lang habang humahakbang pabalik sa court. Napaka-thoughtful naman, mas lalo lang ako nahuhulog sa'yo e.

“Goodluck, galingan niyo!” pahabol pa niya.
