"Nasaan si Ly?" tanong ni Den when they arrived sa gym para sa morning training, "she was not in our room when we woke up."
"Hindi pa rin namin sya nakikita Ate," sabi ni Jia. Same as her other teammates.
"Guys," sabi ni Coach Parley with Coach Tai, their new Coach.
"Goodmorning po," sabay sabay nilang sabi.
"As you can see, Alyssa's not around. They had an emergency daw kaninang umaga, as of this time, nasa airplane na yun pa-Italy."
"What?!" nangingibabaw na sabi ni Den.
"Kalma Den," sabi ni Ella sa kanya.
"Yes, it's a family emergency. So kinailangan nya talagang umalis."
"For how many days po?" sabi ni Ella.
"1 week daw."
"What?!!" reaction ni Den.
"Den," sabi na lang ni Ella sa kanya.
Buong training, badtrip si Den. Natatakot na nga yung rookies sa kanya.
"Bruha, umayos ka nga! You're scaring the rookies!" sabi ni Ella sa kanya.
"Nasan na kaya yun si Ly? Nakakainis naman kasi e! Wala man lang iniwan sating note o kaya text man lang!"
"Emergency nga daw!" sabi ni Ella.
"Aish! May nag-aalala sa kanya dito oh!" sabi ni Den na parang bata, "parang sira ulo naman e," napailing na lang ng ulo si Ella.
"Bestfriend lang pala e," sabi ni Ella.
Buong araw parang hindi mapakaling pusa si Den, she's waiting for Ly to call, napagalitan pa nga sya ng isang prof kasi tingin sya ng tingin sa cellphone nya.
They're on their way papunta sa gym for their afternoon training when Den's phone rang.
"Valdez!!!!!" sigaw ni Den when she answered her Skype.
[Ouch, Den, don't shout!!] said Ly, nakita naman ni Den namamaga yung mga mata ni Ly.
"Wait, are you okay?"
[Hmm.]
"What happened ba?"
[Si Lola, she had an heart attack.]
"I'm sorry... how is she now?"
[She's still under observation.. Den, I'm scared..] Ly said at nagsimula ng maiyak.
"Ssshhh, your Lola will be alright soonest, let's just pray for her, okay? Ly, be strong."
[I will.. pray for Lola ha?]
"We will, ikaw, take care of yourself dyan ha?"
[Hmm, you too, and the others. I'll be home soon, I miss you.]
"I miss you, too, Ly. Call me if you need someone to talk to, ingat!"
[Thanks Den, gotta go, training na uy, say hi to our teammates for me ha.]
"Sure, bye Ly."
[No goodbyes, hahaha! Laters.]
"Laters," then they ended the call.
"Ano, okay na?" tanong ni Ella.
"Ay bakit andito pa kayo?" tanong ni Den sa kanila while smiling.
"Ganda ng mood natin bigla ha?" tanong ni Mona.
"Mga sira, bawal mabadtrip, happy lang! Let's pray for her Lola later, ha guys? For faster recovery. Hi nga pala sabi ni Ly, tara training!" sabi ni Den at naglakad na papunta ng training.
