P.S Always and Forever

Chapter 35

Dahil sa tagal namin mag stay sa CR, nagsimula na ang third quarter nang wala pa kami. Narinig ko pa nga ang pag aalala nila Galen sa mga asawa nila.

"Mahal, okay ka lang? Nahirapan ka na naman ba umupo sa toilet bowl? Uwi na tayo?"

"'Wag ka ngang OA, Valentin. I'm fine. May mga lumapit lang kay Bella kaya natagalan kami."

"Mish, just tell me if it hurts again, hmm?"

"Yes, Aiden. Don't worry about me. Let's finish Ryder's game."

I smiled as I returned to my seat. There's a feeling of happiness whenever I think that my friends are in the right hands. They are well taken care of, and that's already enough for me.

"May mga nang away ba sayo sa labas, anak?" Narinig ko ang pag aalala ni Tita Bea sa pag tanong niya sa akin. Pati si Tito Rob ay nakatingin sa akin na nag aabang sa sagot ko.

I shook my head and smiled at her to diminish their worries. "Wala naman po. They were sweet to me and even handed me this." I said as I showed them a face cutout of their son.

Tita sighed in relief. "Buti naman. Akala na namin may nang away na sayo." Then she laughed when she saw the cutout. "Ang dami na namin ganyan sa bahay. May mga nag aabot sa amin kapag manonood kami ng game ni Benj." She added.

I giggled. "Ryder looks cute here."

Tita laughed. "Gawa namin 'yan, eh."

My eyes widened at what she said. Tita and tito laughed at my bewildered face.

"Bella, bakit ikaw lang may ganyan?!" Sigaw ni Galen mula sa upuan niya.

"Hindi ka kasi special, bobo!" Sabi ni Crim sa asawa at nag sagutan na naman sila.

"Sakit mo magsalita, mahal! Bibingo ka na, ah!"

"Deserve mo kasi binuntis mo ako!"

We laughed at that.

Nag tie na ang scores ng dalawang team during the third quarter kaya halos mamatay na kaming lahat dahil sa kaba. Ang ingay ng arena ay pakiramdam kong aabot sa kabilang probinsya. Pakiramdam ko nga na baka wala na kaming marinig pagkatapos ng game dahil sa lakas ng tilian!

I almost stood up as Ryder ran towards the other court while dribbling a ball. A player from the opposing team tried to get the ball from Ryder by extending his hand towards the ball. Thankfully, Ryder faked his shot and made the player think it was real as Ryder threw the ball in the opposite direction and scored three points.

Nagsisigawan kami. Halos iwagayway ko na ang cutout ng mukha niya dahil sa tuwa!

Their scores are now leading by four points. Three minutes na lang ay tapos na ang third quarter kaya kulang na lang ay maglupasay kaming lahat dahil sa kaba para sa fourth quarter.

The opposing team didn't hide how they played dirty anymore. All for the championship title. Well, guess what? Ryder will win again!

I gasped and abruptly stood up as some player tripped Ryder and made it look like it's an accident. Napahawak sa akin si tita habang nakatingin kay Ryder na tinutulungan tumayo ng teammates niya.

The opposing team argued with the referee when they called foul. The player who tripped Ryder looks like he was screaming at the referee who was merely doing his job!

Nakatayo na si Ryder at kinakausap siya ng mga teammates niya. I looked up and saw on the big screen how he poked the insides of his cheeks before chuckling while looking at the ground.

Tumingin ako sa kanya at hindi na nagulat na nakatingin siya sa akin. I quickly showed him my thumbs up to which he grinned and showed him his. That made me sigh in relief.
