Be With You

"L-O-V-E, WE LOVE YOU QUEN JUNG!"

Making a face and scoffing when Ysa and Jane shouted again in unison after Quen did a three points inside the court for I don't know how many times for the past quarters.

They are both louder cheering than I am, screaming at the top of their lungs. It was the finals for the basketball team and obviously Quen was aiming for his last MVP before he graduated.

He was fully healed and confidently showed us that he could get the title.

That is his title.

"GO, BABE! GO BABE ANOTHER THREE POINTS YES!!!"

"Wow, ayaw patalo." Ysa commented, teasing me. I arched my brow at her and stuck my tongue after.

"Ano kayo lang? Jowa ko yan no!"

Natawa nalang sila sa akin at mas lalo pang nilakasan ang mga sigaw. Of course I didn't let them won and scream for Quen more.

This is the last time that I will see him play like this. I kept the genuine smile on my face while my eyes were glued with his every move.

From the very first time that I saw him play until now, Quen really knew what he was doing. Enjoying every bit of it and giving his all because he already knew that he was born to do this.

One of the things that I admire about him.

In the last quarter, almost the whole crowd inside the stadium cheered for his name.

And like a proud girlfriend I did the same.

With the countless points, unending energy and motivation for the whole team, Quen really did it.

Holding one of his vintage cameras while standing at the bleachers, I kept on taking photos of him celebrating their win and receiving his award. That quick moment when he was genuinely smiling and pump his fist to the air will forever stuck in my mind.

Whatever happens everything before we go our different path for sure that I will be treasured.

"Baby!" I shrieked and jumped at Quen, who welcomed me with open arms. "Congratulations!" He laughs when I left kisses on his face. Pinuntahan niya ako agad pagkatapos ng iilang photo takings at interviews dahil sa pagkapanalo nila. "Galing! You really are the best!" Showing him two thumbs up made him let out a manly chuckle.

The wide grin on my face didn't disappear when I moved the camera in front of his face and took a picture of it. "Pogi."

Quen took the camera in my hand while still holding me and positioned it in front of our face to take a selfie with the both of us. We did various poses before our friends joined us.

It was one of the moments that we spent weeks before graduation.

Yeah, weeks before graduation.

"Bring more sweater and coat." Quen spoke while helping me fold some of my clothes that I will bring to New York. "Don't forget your meds. Wait, I'll already pack it right?"
