They went out their dugout early to watch the battle for bronze.

First set is halfway through when they reached the entrance of Filoil Arena and Dennise's team is down by double digits. Cocolife might be a young team for PSL but have came up big this season. It is the main reason why they are playing in the court now.

She also saw their opposing team seriously watching the game as well. Her friends and former teammates acknowledged her with a nod and smile which she returns with a smile and intently watch the game after.

She focused on Dennise's game. Her game is off and she might seem out of focus having trouble digging and receiving the ball. Her expression is really frustrated and not smiling at all.

Foton never had a hard time beating Cocolife and swept the match at 3-0.

After giving their respects to their opposing team, they headed out of the dugout.

Hinawakan nya si Dennise ng makalapit ito sa kanya at huminto naman ito. Pagod na tingin ang isinalubong nito sa kanya na parang hinang-hina ito at pagod na pagod.

"Bawi next season. Paghahandaan kita."she said. Pakiramdam nya ay dapat nyang sabihin yun.

She smiled briefly pero hindi umabot ang kislap sa mga mata.

"Thanks!" At nagpatuloy na itong lumakad.

Narinig din nya ang pagkausap dito nila Kim at Ara na nasa di kalayuan kasama si Bang.

"Wala ata sa mood ang Iron Eagle?" Pagbibiro ni Kim.

"Napuyat ako sa kaibigan mo!"sagot ni Dennise na kumuha ng atensyon nya para makinig. "Madaling araw na naman kasing natapos magwalwal. Lasing na lasing. Sige, kailangan ko pang icheck kung buhay pa yun eh."

That caught her attention.

Na naman? Lagi syang lasing?

Well, she just broke Alyssa's broken heart so what to expect.

Aysus! Baka panakip butas ka lang naniwala ka naman. Or baka napagtripan ka.bulong ng mahadera nyang utak which stings her heart. Kahit naman hindi nya sineryoso yung confession ni Alyssa ay masakit pa din isipin na gagawin kang panakip butas or pagtitripan.

She immediately run to chase Dennise.

"Den-"you called out breathing heavily because of running.

She stopped and turn around.

"Si Alyssa-"she stopped mid sentence. She doesn't know how to finish it so she just waited and prayed that Den will get it.

She felt responsible for whatever happened to Alyssa last night.

Den just stared at her for more than 2 minutes then released a sigh before she speaks.

"What exactly you want to know and why?"mataray nitong tanong. Nothing's changed with this woman in front of her. Dala pa din nya ang katarayan nyang wala na atang kupas.

She asks herself of the same question.

Ano nga ba ang gusto nyang malaman at bakit? Why will it matters anyway?

"I-i fe-felt responsible for the other night kasi."she finally finds her voice. She is sincere with the answer she gave her. Dahil sa huli nilang pag-uusap ni Alyssa, she felt responsible for her somehow.

"I'm not sure how she is. Natutulog pa sya when i left and went straight for the game. And wala pa akong matinong tulog since the other day so if you want to know about her, can we skip that for now please." Halata ang pagod sa boses at mga mata nito kaya hindi ka na nagpumilit pa.
