The One That Got Away

TOTGA 5

Sorry guys medyo late. Busy sa school. Congrats ALE keep it up!

Bea's POV

One week had passed. At sa one week na iyon maraming nagbago. We got in the kwarter (AN guys ayaw magtype ng letter kyu eh) finals with a one win and one lose record. Pero natalo kami ng UP the other day yesterday. What an upset lose I just had a career high of thirteen points.

Yesterday naman I was with Jho lol. Catching up daw sabi niya. Then un nagtingin lang ako ng photos from the game yesterday. Pero madami halos stolen namin ni Jho mygahd.

Now here we are, it's a Monday morning. Nasa dorm kami pinapanood ung replay. It's really the errors who brought us down. Too many net violations and service errors. Di namin masyado napantayan ang blockings nila. Speaking of blockings sino tong binablock ang way ko.

"Aishh Giz can you move?" Sabi ko dito sa bulilit na toh. Pakshet kinakain niya ung fries ko.

"Thank you Bei!" Sabi nalang niya.

"Asan na nga pala iyang mga batchmate mo?" Tanong ko. Wala na naman po si Jho eh nung Saturday lang nasa game siya with Maddie eh. This passed few days ewan ko ba bakit lagi ko siya hinahanap.

"Marge is with Marci and Ged I think, Jirah I don't know where's that girl and Jho? Hmmm maybe you should check your twitter." Pagkasabi niya nun nilabas ko phone ko at nagtwitter.

(Guys tamad ako magtype pag twitter so photo nalang. Brads credits keka neh)

Anak ng? Jho from sister goals naging brother goals ah. Kanina lang nag oorder tayo ang sweet ko este ang sweet mo tapos kumandong ka pa then tatawagin mo nalang akong brad? Langya.

"Oh Bei chill haha. May game pa mamaya. Masusurprise ka nalang." Sabi niya. I composed myself and nagready.

Pumunta na kami sa Pasig. Gosh daming tao. Still andun pa rin naman ang Alyfinity kahit wala na si Ate Ly. But what surprised me ung Bea8ernity grabe laging nandyan. Paano pa kaya kung maglaro si brad este si Jho?

We watched the first game pa naman. NU vs UP. Intense din ang laban since itong dalawang toh ang nag agawan dati sa UAAP for a final four spot but UP had it. Ung rookies nila dati na ngayon ay super sophomores na nila plus the fact na kumpleto pa rin sila, it's really a powerhouse team. UPFight!

I was cheering when someone sat beside me. Pagtingin ko nakatalikod siya and she's wearing my shirsey. Then I realized...

"Ninakaw mo na naman iyan sa cabinet ko noh?!" I ask then she faced me. I knew it.

"Excuse me akin toh. Sa iyo ung Maraguinot dun." Sabi ni Jho. Yup she's wearing a De Leon shirt.

"Nagkapalit na pala kayo ng surname ngayon?" Sabi ni Wong. This kid is growing up, along with Ponggay and the rest of the sophomores. Birthday nga pala ni Ponggay nung Saturday. Sayang lang at di namin naipanalo ung game for her. Now we just have to win this.

"I'm just your biggest fan. Ayaw mo ba un beh?" Sabi ni Jho and cling on my arms. Kanina lang brad tas ngayon beh na naman?

"Un naman pala Ate Bei eh, naglalambing lang bespren mo. Tawag na tayo ni coach Parley, tara sa dug out." Sabi ni Deanna at nauna na. Nauna na rin kami. I removed my cap with the letter B and placed it on Jho's head. Di rin naman siya pumalag kasi gustong gusto niyang suot un.

Then the first game ended. Wagi ang NU against UP in 4 sets. Gosh defending champs sila. I guess nakatsamba kami nung preliminaries nung nastraight namin sila. Jaja really improved a lot.

Second game na. Wala si ate Cherry and EJ pero bilib ako sa USTe dahil kay Eya and Maji. Biruin mo high school palang pang collegiate na ang galing. Sayang lang wala ung ate niya. Nasa Thailand sila at buong Foton team. Nagtaka nga ako bat nandito si Jaja eh. I miss EJ.

'Timer ka ba Bei?'

What? No!

'Okay sabi mo eh. Pareho silang namimiss mo'

Whatever.

Nagstart na ung game. Grabe lang mga service namin puro ace. Kailangan namin ang laro na ito at sa Wednesday para makapasok sa Semis. If only Jho, Ther and Maddie are here.

But me? I don't know what's happening to me. Puro ako net, service error and di batak ang palo ko. Gosh Beadel binansagan kang baby phenom ayusin mo trabaho mo.

We got the first set. Well easy peasy. Sinub muna ako ni coach Sherwin. Kinausap ako ni coach Parley.

"What's happening Bea?" Kalmadong sabi niya.

"Coach sorry po. I know they call me baby phenom but I don't think I deserved that." Sabi ko.

"Hey Bei don't be so hard on yourself. You had thirteen points last game but you didn't win. That's the spirit Bei keep it up. You should now step up the same way our seniors are stepping up. Sub ka muna, hayaan mo muna maexpose si Ponggay at Jules dun." Sabi ni coach. Pumunta nalang ako sa sideline at kinausap si Deanna.

"Oh ate Bei anyare sa iyo?" Sabi niya. Umiling lang ako then I approach Jho.

"Oh beh. Sinub ka?" Sabi niya. I just gave her a smile at nagback hug nalang while watching the second set.

"Bei it's okay kaya mo iyan. Minimize mo lang errors mo. Compose yourself lang. If I was there in the court I'll hug you when you score. Cheer up na Bei." Sabi niya. I just smiled to her.

"I just miss you being with me in that court. The celebration when we score a point. Bakit ka pa kasi nainjure." Sabi ko. She just smiled.

"Somethings are meant to happened Bei. Siguro kaya toh binigay ni God para maging panatag kayo na kaya niyo without me, ate Ly and the rest na wala. You have to step up Bei." Sabi niya. I get her point, all of them. I should step up if I really am a baby phenom.

So we got the second set. Sinub na ako ni coach kay Jules then ayun palo lang nang palo, block lang nang block, serve lang nang serve and in the end we got the third set and we won the match. Nagshake hands lang kami then ininterview si ate Kim. Kami ni Giz naglalaro lang sa likod niya. Kaming dalawa talaga pinaka playful bukod kila ate Mich at Ponggay. Then naalala ko nga pala magthank you. Hinanap ko siya at niyakap.

"Thank you, my numbet one biggest fan!"
